The Poetic Farmer

Dick Naylor, who writes for. the
Home and Farm, says there are
many things about farmers home
to make one feel poetical to quite
considerable degree. The poultry
yard, the barn-yard, the busy
house wife, are all inspiring sub
ject to the pOetical conception.
For example
The hen is up to make her Law,
The rooster growing loud:
The donkey's eating oats and hay,
The peacock strutting proud.
Now William Goat has proudly raised
His tail before them all;
The brindle COW looked on amazed.
At Bills egregious gall,
The pigs are singing in the pen
As only pigs can sing;
While in the chorus joins the hen
They make the welkin ring.
The cows march out with stately mein
They're steering for the pasture
green
Where they can get their 6ll.
The housewives busy as bee
About the morning work:
She's full of vim and energy,
And labors like a Turk.
Her liege lord is industrious too;
Today he'll go to town
And gas and smoke and spit anil chew
Until the sun goes down.

Russian Proverbs.

When the priest sits down 10
read mass the people lie down to
hear it.
When the thunder ceases the
peasant forgets to cross himself
A man needs only not to be a
cripple or a hunchback to be ac-
counted a handsome fellow by the
women.
Even an old man can win a
woman's love and keep it, if he
isn't jealous.
When a woman goes to heaven
she wants to take her cow with
her.
Over the woman from afar the
devil pours honey.
When the devil can not arrive
in time he sends woman on be-
fore him.
Praise your wife, not three days

MTERCOASTAL CANAL.

Speaking of the convention held
at Victoria last Tuesday in the in
terest of the proposed intercoastal
canal, the Houston Post says edi-
torially:
As has been frequently stated,
the object of the convention is to
inaugurate a movement for the
construction of a canal connecting
the inland waters ofthe Gulf coastal
plain and facilitating light draft
navigation therein. That such a
project would be the means of de-
veloping a large coastwise COM
merce there can be no doubt, and
Its benefits would extend TO hun
dreds of thousands of people from
Pensacola to Brownsville.
But especially would such canal
benefit the commerce of the Texas
coast country, which is now being
so rapidly developed. 1t would
place every portion of a vast and
fertile region within easy reach of
markets. and this would insure
rapid settlement and stimulate pro-
duction.
The fact that such a canal would
cost a large sum of money makes
il necessary for people living along
the coast to cooperate in the effort
TO bring the matter to the atten-
tion of congress. Projects entailing
great expenditure can not be readi-
" pushed through congress. 1t
takes time to educate congress on
the commercial importance of such
works, and a campaign of educa-
ton must be undertaken IL a sys-
tematic way and backed by the
people generally in order TO sue
coed
Provision has already been made
for a survey of the proposed canal.
This is the first step, and the next
must be an organized effort to urge
upon congress the commercial ne
cessity of the project. The Victoria
convention is the beginning of the
campaign, and representative citi-
zens from all portions of the State
are expected to be present.

The following are some succulent
maxims from the Frost Star: You
must lend a hand to help your
neighbor; throw forever from your
mouth the vile guild of SANDER;
when your neighbor errs, cover
his wrongs with the mantle OF
your forgiveness, and lead him in
better paths with the loving hand
of friendship, discard all manner
of business and professional jeal-
ousy; speak well of every one,
meet all with a smile. Seek to
build rather than demolish. Love
one another. Let every townsman
be your charge to support and
uphold. Let the efforts of your
lives be directed to the unihcation
and cementing of the interests and
affection of all the people of our
town.

The baby's little hands may be
weak and all unskilful but in their
fondling and caressing they weave
a web about a man and wife that
all the basest passions in the hard
est hearts cannot resist or break
asunder. A kiss is love feed. Not
all the sustenance of life goes
through the stomach. There must
be some for the soul. Man and
wife who have ceased to kiss have
ceased to be lovers. Contract, con-
vention and self interest may hold
them together but their martial
life is like that of a tottering tree,
dead in its heart. The wife who
willingly permits her husband to
cease kissing her sacrifices her
most precious possession. Ma
gistrate Higginbotham of Brooklyn
is wise in prescribing kissing and
watching the children play as a
cure for abandonment. No better
cure has ever been discovered

SUDDEN RISE AT ST. LOUIS
Mississippi Goes Up Ten Feet i
Twenty-four Hours.


st. Louis, Sept. 19.-Heavy rains
and swollen tributaries have caused a
rise of over ten feet in the Missis-
sippi river during the past twenty
four hours and resulted in damage
along the St. Louis river front amount
ing to many thousands Of dollars. A
vast amount of produce and other
shipping property along the levee is
still in danger.
Produce houses and grain and cot

along the levee organized gangs of
laborers and endeayored to save their
property from being swept away, but
the suddenness of the freshet inter-
fered to a considerable extent. Thou
sands of barrels of apples, bales Of
hay, sacks of grain; bales of cotton
and in one instance $4,000 feet Of
lumber were swept away. Men worked

"A .LEGlTIMATE POPULAR
.. DEMONSTRATION.

Oyster Bay, LII, Sept. 19.-Secre-
tary Taft, in a cablegram from Toxic,
has conveyed to the president the
assurances of the Japanese govern.
ment given to him personally that the
recent riots in Japan were not anti
American demonstrations. Secretary
Taft says the rioting has subsided
and that the members of his party
have not been subjected to the least
indigni1y He expresses confidence
that the friendship of Japan for. Amer
lea is abiding. Following is the text
of Secretary TaftSs dispatch, which
was made public by direction of the
PRESIDENT:
Japanese gOvernm ment is very anx-
ious that the disturbances in Toxic
and other towns should not be consid-
cred as anti-American demonstrations.
They say they arose as follows: Many
of the Japanese people were despond-
ent because their hopes in respect to
the results of the war had been
greatly exaggerated by unexpected
and uniform victories. These people
in Toxic wished in a peaceable man
ner to protest on the subject; but the
police authorities of Toxic
UnwiseIy and Illegally
sought to restrain a legitimate z D
ular demonstration and so met resist
ance. This created riot and at once
placed control Of the movement in the
hands of the lowest elements and
was hostile to the police especially
and only incidentally to foreigners
who got in the way. There was no
movement directed against Americans
or foreigners as such. The disturb
ances have subsidized entirely and
while the government lis maintaining
at hand sufficient forces to restrain
further aots of violence there is not
the slightest evidence of condition
of continued riot. Meetings held III
other cities to protest against peace
permitted by the police have been
peaceable. Members of our entire
party visited all parts >of Japan since
the riot at Toxic and not one member
has been subjected ito any indignity
1at all. / feel sure that the statement
,of the authorities is correct and that
any effort to create the impression
that there is an antiforeign demon
gtration or anti-American sentiment in
the great body of the people of Japan
is unjust. hope that you will deem
it vwise to give publicity TO this dis
patch in justice to the Japanese gov
eminent and people, whose friendship
for America and gratitude for the as
sistance which you rendered them in
the matter of peace is abiding
