A Load of Hay.

Gee,
l seen a load of hay
Today
On the street.
Not baled hay,
But the other way;
The real smell-sweet
Kind, piled high

Come from Jersey, or Long Island,
Err up river, er-no matter where
1t brought the good clean air
OF the fields, ana the days
When pap and the hands
Cut the medder lands,
And l hauled haycocks with a mule
After school.

And then after a bit,
Pap hauled loads of it

And I can see

AS plain as if it was yestiddy.
And didn't he bring
Us children everything
When he come, back at night,
All right?
Say,
When 1 seen that load Of say
Today,
1 jist wondered if somewhere
Outside of this town
There wasn't a lot of children
Lookin' down
The road watching for their pap
To come back.
And say,
That nay
Got into my eyes some way.
The smell of it, l guess, or-or-
Dinged if l know what;
I'm shore

No?

Educators all over the country will
be Interested in the discussion Of the
question how to deal with the school
children who are mentally defective
and not able to keep pace in their
studies with other children of the same
age. The question is rather import
ant from an educational point of view
because these defective children re-
tard the other, brighter children, in
the progress. 1 has been suggested
vide for their education by special
teachers and in separate schools, but
objection has been raised to that plan
for economic reasons
The New York Tax Reform associa-
ton has prepared tables based upon
this years assessed valuations of real
estate, contain same interesting fig
ures. According to these figures the
average value of land per ache in
Manhattan is S165,56 in the Bronx
$500, in Brooklyn, .6617: in Queens
sS04 and in Richmond s464 The ave
rage value of improvements per acre
in Manhattan is $S4,644. The present
density of population all over the city
shows an average of eighteen people
to the acre.
The health food craze has struck
Wall street and it is estimated that
more than one hundred brokers and
bankers, many of them millionaires,
have given up expensive lunches dur
ing the noon hour and now take health
lunches in their offices. It is not be-
cause they wish to or have to econ
omize that they lunch on whole wheat
bread, Grape Nuts and similar pat
ent preparations supposed to be a pan
acea for all the ills that flesh is heir
to. No, they say they like it and in
sist that it is doing them incalculable
good. There is even a runor that the
health foods will have a tendency to
strengthen the market.
That there is enough superstition
among the big and small spectators
on Wall street, has been konwn to
the world for some time. They are
all more or less gamblers and gamblers
are proverbially superstitious The
extent of superstition common among
the Wall street fraternity may be
inferred from the fact that in many of
the buildings occupied by brokers and
other men of finance the number thir-
teen is tabooed. There is neither
thirteenth floor nor a number on any
door that contains thirteen or any
combination of that number.

DEATH OF A RECLUSE
Sadly DeCOmpOSed Body Found in His
Camp on Trinity River.

Justice H. r. Stovall of Ennis
was notified by telephone from Red
Bank, on Trinity River, Tuesday
evening, that a man had been found
dead at camp in the river bottom.
Justice Stovall went at once to the
place designated and found a grue-
some sight.
The dead man was a German re-
cluse known in the community as
Ferny. 1t is said that he came
there about ten years ago with a
wagon and team and made camp
ing place in secluded spot near the
river between Porters Bluff and Red
Bank, and has since lived there
alone. No, one knows anything
about his history prior to his ap-
pearance there. His age is given
as 10 years. He lived Ia all old wag-
on bed, which rests on the ground,
and be had I'd: few belong ings.
He was last seen alive last week,
on Easter Sunday. He then had a
very sore hand, having cut it on a
wire, and was doctoring it, and it is
believed that he died from blood
poison.
There were no marks of violence
or foul play.
