A bit of color against the blue;

And red for the klndling light Of flame,
And white for a nations stainless fame.
Oh! fling 1t forth to the winds afar,
With hope In It's every shining star;
Under its folds. wherever found.
Thank God. we have freedoms holy
ground!
Don't you love 1t, as out It floats
From the schoolhouse peak; and glad yotInS

Sing of the banner that aye shall BE-
Symbol of honor and victory?
Don't you thrill when the marching feet
VI oubilant soldiers shake the street,
And the bugles shrill and the trumpets
call,
ana the red, white and blue Is over us all 7
Don't you pray, amid starting tears,
X may never be furled through age-long
years?

Ihat gathers beneath 1t a mighy host;
Long may 1t wave DER the goodly land
we hold In fee meath our Fathers hand; ;

Never to those high meanings lost,
Never with alien standards crossed
But always valiant and pure and true.

Then, by spraying everything now and
then with a good insectide, the mite
will find it hard work living and final
ly give it up.
The chicken mite is commonly con-
sidered form of insect life, although
it is not, properly speaking, an insect
1t is sometimes called the chicken tick
or poultry tick. 1t would probably be
better to apply the term tick to this
parasite and reserve the word mite
for the true itch mite of chickens, the
Sarcoptes mutans Robin and Lanque-
tin. The mite has an average length
of one-twenty-fifth of an inch and its
width is about four ffths of it's length
1t has eight legs, by means of which it
can move very rapidly from place to
place. In color it is light gray, with
small dark spots showing through the

His brows contracted. "Why do you
call me boy?" he interrupted. II am
10 years old, and you are not much
more than that
She laughed, and her white teeth
made him ready to fall down and wor-
ship her.
"You have done as much," said she,
"as any man could do, and more.''
Then she held out her hand, and he
came and took it.
"Truly you are a man." she said,
and, looking steadfastly into his face,
she added, "how very, very much I
owe you'll"
Just then Dame Charter called them
to breakfast. When they were at the
table they talked of what was to be
done next: and as, above everything
else, Miss Kate desired to know where
her father was and why he hadn't
come aboard the Sarah Williams,
Dickory offered to go to the town for
news.

after you have seen my father and
told him everything, for he must be
in sore trouble, would you naind row.
ing to our house and bringing me some
clothes? Madam Bonnet will under
stand what I need; and she too will
want to know what has become of
me-"
"Of course l will do that cried
Dickory, grateful for the chance to do
her service:
"And if you happen to see Mr.. New
combe in the town, will you tell him
where ann"
Now Dickory gave no signs. Of graft
tude for chance to do her service, but
his mother spoke quickly enough.
"Of course he will tell Master New
combe," said she, land anybody else
you wish should know
In ten minutes Dickory was in his
canoe, padding to the town. When he
was out OF the little inlet on the shore
of which lay his mothers cottage, he
looked far up and down the broad
river, but he could see nothing of the
good ship Sarah Williams.
Il am glad they have gone," said
Dickory to himself, "and may they
never come back again. It is pity
that Maj. Bonnet should lose his ship,
but, as things have turned out, it is
better for him to lose it than TO
have it."
When he had fastened his canoe to
little pier in the town with a rope
which he borrowed, having now none
Of his own, Dickory soon heard strange
news. The man who owned the rope
told him that Maj. Bonnet had gone
off in his vessel, which had sailed out

the Fourth of July, but it treats Of ex-
plosives, so suppose it will suit you
just as WELL"
The children settled themselves de-
lightedly, and the professor began. He
was charming story-teller, and the
children sat spelbound until he had
finished. The tale made a great i'm
preston, and especially on Clifford.
The next day, when he and his playfel-
lows were lying on the grass in the
shade, too lazy to play on account OF
the heat, Clifford told the story to
them, and concluded by saying:
Boys, I've got a scheme. Let's us
get up 'gunpowder plot for the
Fourth. Only We won't have ours just
like the story, for ours shall go off as
it ought. We can have it on that va
cant block across the street. Well
dig a cellar and then build a sort of q
house on top for the parliament build
ing"
''Yes, and make the house of tin
cans and such things, so it will make
a terrible noise when it goes off," said
Frank Middlebury.
So it went on and soon the plans
were all laid.
The next day they began operations.
and worked desperately, as boys will
for play, all morning. Day after day
the work went on. Both boys and girls
of the neighborhood were wild with
curiosity to know what they were
about, but never q word of informa-
ton could they get from any of the
workers. Even Ruth Gray did, not
know what they were doing until she
accidentally overheard Clifford say
something to Clarence about the gun
powder plot" Then she was all in
terest and wanted to join the conspir-
ators herself.
"There weren't any ladies in it,
Clarence replied, scornfully. when she
asked him about it:
"Oh, we'll, that doesn't make any Diff
ference and want to so bad"
"Well, you ask Cliff"
And when she asked Clifford he put
her of very contemptuously. Then
Ruth began to cry and told him he was
real mean
But no amount of teasing made any
difference. Clifford was obstinate
Ruth was not admitted to the plot.
At last the morning of the Fourth
arrived. The consDirators had agreed
that parliament" should be assembled
and the gunpowder in the cellar "se.
off" at IL exactly, as they would all
have returned from the public exer.
cises of the morning by that time.

What Organization Has Done.

To thorough organization among
farmers are the splendid agricultural
colleges, farmers Institutes, rural mail
routes, farmers telephones due. Some
of these enterprises may have been
started by small group of men who
foresaw their great Importance, but it
was not until the majority of farmers
in state or section united and de-
manded their rights that anything like
satisfactory results were obtained.
They have done much, but great deal
remains for their careful attention.
They must never relax their vigilance.
for if they do retrogression is sure

CHAPTER vi,
DICKORY MAKES A REPORT.

~ HE tide was running down.
a. and Dickory made a swift
u passage to the town. Seeing
on the pier the man from whom he
had borrowed the rope, he stopped to
return him his property, and thinking
that the good people of the town
should know that, no matter what had
befallen Maj. Bonnet, his daughter had
not gone with him and was safe among
friends, he mentioned these facts to
the man, but with very few Details,
being in hurry to return with his
message.
Before he turned into the inlet Dick
DRY was called from the shore, and to
his surprise he saw his mother stand
ing on the bank in front of a mass of
bushes, which concealed her from her
house.
Come here, Dickory," she sale "and
tell me what you have heard?"
Her son told his doleful tale
II fear me, mother" he said, that
Maj. Bonnet's ship has gone on some
secret and bad business, and that he
is mixed up in it. Else why did he
desert his daughter And if he in
tended to take her with him, that was
worse"
II don't know, Dickory," said good
Dame Charter, retlectively; I'VE must
not be too quick to believe harm of
our fellow-beings. 1t does look bad.
as the townspeople thought, that Mai.
Bonnet should own such ship with
such strange crew, but he is a man
who knows his own business, and may
have had good reason for what he has
done. He might have been sailing out
to some foreign part to bring back
a rich cargo, and needed stout men to
defend it from the pirates that he
might meet with on the seas" .-.,

Hens Need Lots Of Grit

With big flock of fowls it is NO
small matter to keep up the supply
of grit. Where natural grit cannot
be easily obtained commercial grit
should be purchased. We are satisfied
that on some of our farms in the prai-
rie states the securing of grit by the
fowls is so difficult that they aresun-
able to obtain the quantity required.
This especially true on soil that
is soft and velvety and free from
gravel. In such cases gritsswm have
to be bought.

Don't Confine Young TURKEYS.

Do not keep the young turkeys in
close quarters, as they cannot. stand
confinement. If you have no lot that
you can fasten them in, keep the hen
In large, roomy coop, on a dry place,
with hole for the young turks to go

are strong enough to follow the hen,
she can be turned out with them after

be taken not TO let them stay out too
long at first. as the hen is apt to trail

PASSES AWAY
Continued From First Page.)

very. His parents were Thomas R.
and Theresa Tate He was a soldier and
his escape from slavery in 1864 has
been told In these columns time and
again. A northern regiment brought
him to Indiana and to his aunt's,
Mary Bundy, at Brownsville, Henry
county.
On Nov. 4, 1869, he was married to
Miss Virginia Banks in this city. To
this union were born eight childreu,as
follows: Clarence, Wilhelmena B.,
Isabella w., Jennie, Charles, Frank,
George and Embry.
Miss Wilhelmina is a clerk in the
treasury department at Washington.
There is but one member Of Mr..
Tate's family living, brother, Alb
ram, who lives at Hagerstown, Ind,
and who is about seventy-two years
of age.
Our readers are all familiar with
the life of William Tate He has been
resident of this city for about for
ty years and all that time has been
identified with every move that was
for the welfare of the city he loved
so ardently. He was staunch Re-
publican and believed in being loyal
to the party that gave him freedom.
He was a delegate at various times
to district and state conventions and
was ever and always found in the
fore rank Of Republicanism. He
was a reader of the Palladium for
forty years, and would read almost
every line in it so interested was he
His was a great home life. He loved
his wife and children with a de
votion akin to worship, and did every
thing in his power to rear his chill
dren in the paths of rectitude. He
was staunch believer and supporter
of the public school system and gave
his children every advantage Of edu-
cation. His daughter in the treasury
department is an exceptionally bright
lady and has the respect of all with
whom she is associated. Mr.. Tate be-
longed to no lodge or no church. He
believed in an all powerful God, in
helping his family and his fellow man
and this he did to a marked degree.
His close attention to his barber
business and his careful handling of
money brought him wealth, and he
leaves his family in comfortable cir
cumstances.
