Round iron or steel rods five-eighths

THREE FAMOUS PIONEERS.
Pen Pictures OF Daniel Boone, Davy
Crockett and kit Carson.

Pen Pictures OF Daniel Boone, Davy
Crockett and kit Carson.
In his book. "The Way to the West"
Emerson Hough gives sketches Of three
famous pioneers. OF Daniel Boone he
says: Boone was neither tall nor
thin man. He was not angular or
bony His frame was covered not
with cloying fat, but with firm and
easily playing muscles, and he carried
none Of the useless tissue Of the man
Of civilization. His weight was about
l75 pounds Audubon, who met him
late I'm his life, says; He approached
the gigantic in stature. His chest was
broad and prominent and his muscular
powers were visible in every limb. His
,ountenance gave indication OF his
treat courage, enterprise and perse-
gerance.' Yet in person Boone did not
luite reach the six foot mark. but was
Just below ive feet ten inches In stat
IRE. some say I'VE feet eight inches, be
.ng therefore OF exactly that build
which good judges Of men esteem
0 be most desirable for combined
strength, activity and endurance. He
was rather broad shouidered; that is
% say his shoulders -niceiy overhung
his hips Alloagres that he was OF
robust and powerful proportions.
Davy Crockett when he was FIRST
elected to congress is described as a
finely prop6rtipned man, about six
feet high. forty-hve years Of age, Of
very frank pleasing and open counte-
nancev He was dressed In homespun
and wore a black fur cap on his head
when seen by a traveller who called at
bis house. Going thus into public life,
he began TO show ian unusual strength
Of mind and a memory almost miracu.
lous" Uncultured, ignorant, terribly
handicapped by lack OF training and
opportunity, he overcame 1t all. In
Washington he won national popular.
lty. 1--WE see in the Crockett Of 1894.
says Hough. "a figure not approached
by any other American statesman 81
nearly as by that other rugged west
erner, Abraham Lincoln"
Kit Carson was a grandson Of Dan
iel Boone and was born In 1906
Hough describes him as follows: "Fiv
feet six, with twinkling. blue-gra,
eyes, a large aud well developed head
with hair sandy and wen brushe
back. Kit Carson at his best was th
reverse Of impressive He was sin
pie. peaeeable and quiet in disposition
temperate and strictly moral in tim
and place when these qualities mad

the length and breadth Of the Indial
country this little man was NOR
feared. single and alone. than an.

Poetry.

Poetry does not mean only the cloth
ing Of beautiful thoughts in har-
monious language; It means also the
spiritualizing of life, the tingeing
every common object with the warm
sunshine Of sympathy and love. Just
as on rainy days the slush and grimy
mus are swept away and put on one
side, so the sunshiny nature will natur-
ally dismiss all mean and sordld
thoughts and turn TO what is true and

wheat SOWING.

While there are many different opin-
ions about the proper time to sow
wheat, we think that in New England,
New York and Ohio it should be sowed
in August, says an exchange. If there
is apparent danger Of the chinch bug a
narrow strip sowed early in the month
as a trap for them and then plowed
under after they have become well es-
tablished will nearly destroy them all
unless some one has a field Of wheat
near by on which this precaution is
not taken. In case this is done sowing
may be left TO the last of the month or
even until September. But for late
sowing the ground should he well pre-
pared by thorough cultivation and
should be well fertilized.

which says there is no prospect of any
such action by France. which country
would sincerely like 70 see peace. The

separating the combatants. while Ger
many has not the same material in
