School Days.

Lord, let me make this rule:
To think of life as school,
And try my best
To stand each test,
And do my work,
And nothing shirk.
Should someone else outshine
This dullard head of mine,
Should | be sad?
| will be glad,
To do my best
Is thy behest.
If weary with my book
| cast a wistful look
Where posies grow,
Oh, let me know
That flowers within
Are best to win.
These lessons thou dost give
To teach me how to live,
To do, to bear,
To get and share,
To work and play
And trust Away.
What though | may not ask
To choose my daily task?
Thou hast decreed
To meet my need.
What please thee,
That shall please me.

Thoughts for Farmers.

A farmer asked why wheat could
not be made to grow like it once did on
land on which the brush was burned.
He was informed that brush heaps
were on fresh land that had an abun-
dance of humas that afforded nitrogen.
The ashes furnished potash. All the
elements of the plant food were abun-
dant. Not so with the lands cleared
once and run in hoed crops continuously.
He then asked for some formulas for
small grain. In answering his question
we propose to answer for a thousand
farmers who wish the same informa-
tion. Consider what wheat draws from
the soil. One bushel with the straw
will require 1 Sd pounds of nitrogen,
two-thirds of a pound of phosphoric
acid, and l Ia pounds of potash. Or
take lit this way: 35 bushels of wheat
will require SO pounds of phosphoric
acid and 81 pounds of potash. If the
farmer knew how much or less these
elements his worn lands contained he
could supply the deficiency. Suppose
the land without fertilizer, would make
six to eight bushels to the acre and he
desired to add ten bushels to the yield
per acre. He could take either of the
following:

SINCE the ante-bellum days of
slavocracy there has been a wonder
full change in the matter Of American
liberality as to political differences
The people Of the slave states, rec.,g-
nizing the growing sentiment Of the
north and west against their ''pecu-
liar institution," were bitterly ap-
p',sed to any party that they believed
would tend to crystalize a public opin-
ion dangerous to slavery. Even in the
border states there were many cleo
tion precincts where Lincoln tickets
were not allowed to be voted at the
election Of 1861, and where the lives
OF republicans would not have been
safe had they attempted to organize
y propaganda OF their,party. But ali
that Is changed now. The good sense
Of Americans has returned In this re-
spect. A shining instance Of the
mutual regard held by opposing par
tisans was the reception to William
jennings Bryan by the North Dakota
legislature last winters legislature
having but fiye democratic members
out Of a total membership OF l4O-
and by the fact that during his stay

IT IS IN DOUBT
Seems to be a Division Ol Opinion as to the Qualifi-
 cations Of A Voter

Douglas. Arz., Dec. 2S.-(Speciall- l- City Attorney Lockwood is engaged today in looking up the requirements for registration for the city election l in April. and has raised point which Is of great importance 10 large nun | Der of voters in Douglas. It will be remembered that al the special election held in October on the gas and street railway franchises. there were a large number of citi- zens who were qualified to vote in every particular, except that they were not on the great register of the county at the last general cleo ton. so could not vote.
 The territorial law provides that the city shall open a registration list sixty days preceding the city election and close ten days prior to the elec- ton. but the point in doubt at present is whether or not a citizen shall be on the great register of the county al the last election, which was held in November. 1904, before he is en- titled to register for the coming city election
 If such is the law in the case, then it certainly comes near to being the limit in fool laws, as it means that at least one-third and possibly more of the otherwise qualified electors of Douglas will be deprived of the fran chise al the coming city election.
 MT. Lockwood had not looked into c kn fA yfE opinion one way or the other but was inclined to beheye that the law pro vices that only those who were regis tered before in the county can regis ter now He also stated that he had had the opinion of the city attorney of Bisbee anu that gentleman held as MT. Lockwood was inclined 10 do himself. that he mus; be on the county great register.
 There was a great deal Of kicking at the gas franchise election by a number who were qualified. but could not vote owing to the fact tthat they were not registered at the last gen eral election and were not given an opportunity to register at the gas franchise election. If the same holds good at the city election there will be a howl go up that will make the  onlooker think a Russian riot is in progress.
 4 representative of the Interna- tional-American called on a number of attorneys for their opinion in re- gard to the matter, and they were all one way-decidedly that it was not necessary to be on the last great reg ister of the county.
 A. F. ParSonS-What would be the use of opening city register if that was the case; why not use the great register?
 Robert French-Most undoubtedly yes. He doesn't need to be on the great register.
 ofd GrAham--I haven't looked int, the matter. but 1 should certainly say he doesn't need to be on the great register
 John McGowan-Every male citizen of the United States who has resided in Douglas the time required by the statute is entitled to register and vote at the next city election
