A Harvest Day in Ireland.

On a harvest morn in Ireland-the
sort of harvest morn I like to recall
the white sun looks down upon a land
variegated with a thousand shades;
the sky is blue and spot1ess, and choir
ing larks deep in the peaceful blue are
trilling their melody over moor and
meadow, and gray hill. The burns are
sounding joyously from under their
blackthorn and hazel arching as they
daily seaward; the CHEEKY "click-click"
is heard from the meadows where the
mowers sharpen their scythes, the
sound of blithe voices comes up the
hillside and a merry laugh rings out
upon the clear air, now from this field,
and then from that. Gladness huns
in ones veins on this bright harvest
morning. The call to breakfast from
the white-slipped calm, standing on
the fence by the gable of the farm
house comes welcome over the waving
fields. The mowster drops his scythe,
and the shearer his sickle, and others
cast from them rake and fork, and,
whistle up lively air, or chanting a
merry song. trip houseward. Break
fast over, the girls, with rake on
shoulder, sally forth as well as the
boys and men. to do their share of the
days work; and the mingled music of
CHEEKY converse and ringing laughter
that henceforth fills the fields lends
pleasant wings to the day. Under the
friendly shade of hat or kerchief, the
girls bright eyes downcast upon their
work dance merry accompaniment to
the quick repartees they, with profess
sional ease, cast back in response to
mischievous chatting of the boys bent
above the work. The grass that the
girls turn in wind rows fills the fields
with fragrance. The tall meadow falls
to the swith of the mower whose long
drawn song sings caoine to the fallen
flowers; the busy hum of bee is tre-
quent, and the silly corn crake (who
loves to hear himself) lifts his irrita-
ting voice, now here, now there, as if
the rascal were ubiquitous.-Seumas
MacManus, in Donahoe's.

Boys at Reform, school to Be Up to

Pajamas, nail flies, tooth brushes
and milk are to be furnished the boys
at the reform school. These human
izing reforms were suggested by Mrs.
Stanley and Mrs. Lewis. the women
appointed by the governor under the
new law to help the board of control
run the institutions right.
Most of the institutions are in good
shape" said Mrs. Stanley. I'VE have
made some minor recommend
such as pajamas, tooth brushes and
nail files for the boys at the reform
school. Such things as that will help
to reform the boys. Give them the
comforts of home and they are apt to
grow better"
"And the boys need more milk, too,

EXPERIMENTS IN ICING.
Truck Growers Association Will Fur
nish Their Own Supply.

Albuquerque, Aug. when the
Grayson County Fruit & Truck Crow
ers' association starts two carloads of
peaches for one of the northern mar
kets Monday, the two cars will be re-
frigerators heavily iced, so as not to
require any additional icing until they
reach their destination.
In taking this step the association
intends to start a precedent The Ar
mour Packing company, which prac-
tically controls the fruit business from
the southwest, would charge about $50
for icing each car, thus cutting to
pieces the profit made by the shippers
on their produce. The association,
however, will ice the cars in Denison
at a cost of something like SIS, and
by furnishing their own ice the ship
pers believe they will have good
grounds for suit should the Armour
company demand payment for icing
charges.
The association is confident that
with the assistance of the courts they
can score a big victory and in that
event others not so bold will take adj
vantage of the example given.

voice is Hamlin Garland's latest ex-
perience in gaining local color for his
next work.
Garland visited the penitentiary and
asked for a brief sojourn in a real cell.
He told the warden half an hour would
do him. The warden personally escort
ed Garland to a cell, locked him in and
told deputy to release the author in

The experiments which the Santa Fe
is making with burning oil as fuel are

fairly satisfactory but the company
has not ascertained it's value as COM

In reference to the experiment Cen

1--WE have tried the oil on only one
engine, and it works very well. 1t is
as good, I believe, as the Texas oil,
but not as good as the California oil.

testing it and estimating it's cost, and

AFRAID OF DYNAMITE.
Allen County Man Would Not Leave a
Deed in Town.

lola, Kan, Aug. 1.-The climax of alb
surdity was reached in the register of
deeds office when a man from LaHarpe
refused to leave his deed there over
night for fear of dynamite explosions
In the afternoon he came into the office
and asked to have deed recorded. He
was told that it could not be done for
four or five days as the office was al
ways about that length of time behind
in their work.
But I must take it out tonight
am not afraid of the people in the office
but the presence of joints in the town
and the dynamiting of them makes 1t
too dangerous to leave a deed here over
night. 1 would not think of running
the risk If you cannot record it and
let me have the deed before nightfall I
will take it away with me now he
said and walked off.
