Might Stay on Earth.

Speaker Joseph Cannon, in re-
Spouse TO a toast at a recent dinner,
began his remarks so as TO create
the initial laugh which is so much

for weightier matter TO follow.

Automobile Farming.

A new aud special type of auto
mobile has recently been put on the
market in Scotland which is design
ed especially for farm work, and
which is not only suitable for
ploughing, but may be equipped
as a cultivator or reaper. 1t will
prepare the ground and SOW the
seed at one operation and can be
Operated at a better speed than
a horse. Thus when ploughing
il can cover from six to seven
acres a day, and goes over the
field so as to leave il in final
shape for cultivation. When not
in use in the field, the motor
can be used TO drive all farming
machinery, and when ploughing,
the cost of fuel, labor and depre-
citation has been computed at one
dollar per acre, or less than one
half the expense of ploughing by
horse. 1t is interesting to note
that the cost of the machine is
aboNt $500, an amount that does
not seem prohibitive for a large
farm, where a thorough test of the
new machine could readily be
made. The automobile. unlike
the farm animal, does not have tC

it is here that a substantial element
of economy can probably be secur

The Biggest One Yet.
CFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch. }


The greatest building project
contemplated since the days OF
Cheops has taken shape in New
York. II is nothing less than a
hotel over forty stories in height
that is absolutely freproof and will
contain accommodations for 1000
guests. The plans are drawn by
we'll known architects and a syndi-
cate with S., 900, 900 is behind the
enterprise. 1t will occupy a very
historic site not far from the new
Pennsylvania railroad station and
will rise 500 feet from the eternal
bed rock of Manhattan island. II
will be twice the size of tho Chats
worth and more than half that OF
the Ansonia. 1t will be ten stories
taller than the highest building in
New York-the Park Row. / am
not allowed to say more to make
this exclusive announcement.

The Great Project Projected.

Over 200 delegates, composed
of farmers, cattlemen, newspaper
men, lawyers, judges, state sena-
tors, representatives and congress
men, exploded their ideas until
corhagration of canal enthusiasm
is destined to sweep our country
and consume every vestige OF OPP
position.
The benefits TO the producer. and
consumer of the entire Gulf coast
country when this coastal canal is
completed will be millions saved
in freight rates alone. Not to
mention the increased valuation OF
coast country real estate and de-
velopment that will follow its con-
struction. Congressman Burgess,
Gresham aud others added their
strength TO the proposed water
way. While Capt. Jadwin OF the
u. S. c. l.. service gave the neces-
sary instructions as to what
we must do and show in order
10 get Uncle Sam to pick up
his big spade and 60 to work.
Congressman Garner of Uvalde is
one of the biggest little men we
ever saw and has sufficient ginger
and heft to drive his canal ideas
through a Ia inch Armour plate.
The masses of our people don t
comprehend or realize the mag
nitude and stupendous benefit to
accrue to the farmer by the con-
struction of this waterway. 1t is
so far reaching in its benefits that
people beyond Pittsburg, Pa, will
feel il, and the five great lakes
will be shaken as by an earth
quake. The whole Mississippi
valley from the Rocky Mountains
on the west, to the Appalachian on
the east will be punctured and
her products flow down to
sea ports OH our gulf where
God intended by natural geo.
graphical construction. The skill
full workman makes his last
the best. So God in his work made
his last the best. Look only to the
Gulf Coast country and see the
truth of the statement. Man inn
proves with the ages, and improve
ments are made by man, this Is
why the intercoastal canal must be
made and will be made.
While the canal convention was

Mystic Shores.

There's a stream which runs through a
far-off lard.
With a cadeace soft and low.
DER glittering sands, as if spirit hands
Were guiding its quiet flow.
And many a sigh, as the waves glide by
Is borne on its limpid breast;
For this placid stream with sparkling
CLEAN
Is Lethe; the River of Rest.
There are lovely flowers along that
stream,
Which never are out of bloom,
There are lilies fair and roses rare,
And violets' sweet perfume;
And purple heartsease, Hesperian trees,
With golden fruit hung low,
In nest of green their glimmering sheen
Play on the river below.
oh, wondrous River oh, Beautiful
Land
Some say thou art but dream
OF poets mind, who thought to find
For his pen happy theme;
In vale of flowers, and gladstone hours,
BY balmy winds caressed,
The changing CLEAN of a ripping
stream
A promise of endless rest.
I wonder if our loved and lost
All reach that fragrant shore
Love meath the CLEAN of Lethe's stream,
And learn TO weep no moree
For if ever stand upon that land
Not all of Lethe's tide
Could ease the pain of my hearts refrain
If one were left outside.
II may be my dim sense has failed
Fully to understand
The mystery of Eternity
That brighter, better land;
But this know-for US below
There is a life TO come,
Where I shall see as others see.

Unavoidable.

I ponder on
Old Adams time,
And on the trees
He used to climb;
How he was lord
Of wood and glade,
And walked in sun,
Or drowsed in shade,
As long as he
Did ever choose;
And never had
To wear tight shoes,
Or linen collar
Stiff and high;
But lay and basked
Beneath the sky
Sans heavy coat,
Sans saw-edged shirt;
And Eve went sans
A hat--sans skirt.
They strolled about
And took their ease
Oh. women oughten't
To climb trees
Because Of Eve
And that old tree,
lust look at you'll
lust look at me-
We're buttoned in
These stuffy things!
In August how
Each garment clingsl
But Eve and Adam,
Each sans suit,
No doubt had tasted
All the fruit
That Eden held
In its confines,
The fruits.of trees,
And shrubs, and vines
Except that of
The apple tree,
And then it came
About that she
Skinned up it, grabbed
An apple sweet.
And tossed it him,
And he did eat
But were I Adam,
Maid, now this
And were YOU Eve
Your red-lipped kiss
On any fruit you
Babe me take
Would have made me
Make Adams break.
