TWO PICTURES.

An old farmhouse with meadows
wide,
And sweet with clover on each
side:
a bright-eyed boy, who looks
from out
The door with wOodbine wreath
ed about.
And wishes this one thought all
day:
20. If | could but fly away
From this dull spot the world to
see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy | should be-"
Amid the city's constant din,
A man who round the world has
been.
Who, mid tumult and the
throng,
Is thinking, thinking all day
long;
80. could | only tread once
more
The field path to the farmhouse
door,
The old green meadow could l
see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy | should be-"

The Years Corn Crops.

The years production of corn
breaks all records, the official re-
port of the government experts
showing that the total yield will
be =, 453, 100000 bushels. And
every bushel of this will be need
ed to supply our enormous do
mestic demand. with some left
over for export to less fortunate
countries. Corn is endeed king
and never did its cereal crown
set so firmly as at this very time.

A Hard-Headed Farmer.

Miss Minnie Bertha Learned
will now give us some very in
teresting experiments in chem
istry, showing the carboniferous
character of many ordinary sub
stances, after which she will en-
tertain us with a short treatise
on astronomy, and an illustra-
tion of the geological formation
of certain substances, and close
with a brief essay entitled,
Philosophy VS.. Rationalism. y
Thus spoke the president of a
young ladies' seminary on the
class-show day.
A hard-headed, old-fashioned
farmer happened to be among
the examining board, and he
electrified the faculty, and para
lyzed Miss Minnie by asking:
kin Miss Minnie tell me how
much sixteen and three -fourths
pounds of beef would come to at
fifteen and half cents pound?"
why, really, II, gasped
Miss Minnie.
kin you tell me who is the
Vice President of the United
States?"
"Why-I-I-Mr. B, isn't
he? Or is it"
kin you tell me where the
Mississippi River rises and sets?"
"I-I-don't just know"
Il reckoned We didn't. Gin
me the good old days when gals
and boys went to school to larn
sense.

that the parade will be much

No Place For Idiots.

A circular has been distribut-
ed among the members of the
house Of representatives urging
the expulsion of Congressman
Helm of Alabama. He is ac-
cused of having alluded in a
speech delivered at Tuskogee to
President Roosevelt's entertain
meut of Booker Washington at
the White House, in the follow
ing language: There they sat,
Roosevelt and Washington, and
if some CZolgoz or one Of his
kind had thrown a bomb under
the table no great harm would
have been done the country"
And he is further charged with
havieg said in the same speech
when referring to the lynehing
of negroes at Statesville, Ga,
that it was "the sending off of a
few more Republicans singing
Nearer. My God to Thee. -
The circular charges that the
first remark was calculated to
incite attempts on the life of the
president, and that the second
was brutal Endorsement of the
assassination of Mckinley. He
fin claims that these remarks
were intended to be taken as a
joke. But if congress will eX-
pei him for it, that will be a
good deal better joke. The
house should not be made an
asylum for idiots.

UNLUCKY PAY CAR.

The l1ay train that came in last \. aEurday night with it's crew, discharged it's duty faithfully, and while preparing to leave the pay car was switched on the 'Y' and cut loose. Owing to the -,gtl1bbornness of a brake the car couldA not be stopped until 1t plunged nearly half it's length off the end of the track extending some distance over the bank of the river. Luckily no one was hurt more than getting quite a shaking up. MT. Madden, who IS in charge of the railroad bridge construction across White river, with his crew of men, immedi- ately commenced the work of raising and retracking the un- fortunate car, which was effect nally done in the shortest time possible.

Improved Rural Mail Service.

One of the interesting features of
the United States Government build
ing at the st. Louis Exposition is the
improved rural mail delivery, as
shown by the unique use of moving
pictures. The mail carrier is seen to
drive up to country homes, stop his
team, get out, deliver the mail and re-
ceive mail from the residents of the
farm houses. The pictures, made
from photographs, often show the
country women and children rushing
out to get mail, their faces radiant
with hope and eager expectancy.
One of the rural mail hacks is &C.
companied by collie dog, which trots
along under the wagon, the moving
pictures giving it the appearance of
life. One scene shows country
woman buying stamp and exchang-
ing a little gossip with the mail car
rier. The pictures are so real that
to watch them makes one seem to be
enjoying drive through country
lanes. Worlds Fair visitors find
these mutoscopes equal to show, and
there is always crowd viewing the
pictures.
