There are fair lands where flowers,
Shed bright, transcendant bloom,
And give to day and night
The sweetest of perfume;
Golden fruit once growing
On the radiant trees -
Flakes of gold now strowing
The earth at touch of breeze.
Ours a cline, where sunbeams,
And grandest tempeste meet;
Where vines greet the woodlands
And nestle at their feet;
The glow of Spring and Summer,
And Winters biting cold,
Live in the orchards, rich
In Autumn's crowns OF gold.
They glow in beauteous tints,
That e'er enchant the eye,
And bask in splendors rare,
Between the earth and sky;
Sweeting the wistful world
With fruit, like waving grain,
While days rolling onward,
Meier come to us again.
Yes,-princes and mobiles,
And others. if they please,
May gather the fruits from
The tall, majestic trees;
In dreams of my manhood.
A boy, often roam,
Ger the fields and meadows,
Bare-footed, and at home.
For me in the springtime,
There very early grows,
A dear little blossom,
Amid the melting SHOWS;
In carpet of velvet
In green, that robes the earth,
Shines this gem of beauty,
Sweet in its humble birth.
Scan the budding landscape,
For berries of the Spring.;
8 Watch. while they are ripening,
And hear the birdlets sing;
f Come, hail with fond delight,
The berry by its name;
Beauty, for its garment
A ruby,-in its flame.
Caressed by the fairies,
All through the silent night.
1t e'er grows in sweetness,
As length'ning days grow bright;
Sure, nhe feasts of the gods,
Were,ne'er an idle dream
But banquets of berries.
In sweet and rudy stream.
love the little berry,
Clinging, lowly, to the earth,
Near song of the woodland,
Near the cricket's chirp:
/ love the fragrant ground,
love her throbbing breast;
There strength and joy are found
Strawberries at their best.

by Prof Shamel, of the Corn Special. All of
the ears were carefully selected and out of 349

tory, and ten of the rejected were out of 60
seed which shows that very little can be told
by the appearance of the ear, as the best 60

Explosives Carried on the Pa. Railroad.
Since the explosion of so, 600 lbs. of dynamite
in the railroad wreck at Harrisburg last week,
Mr.. n. w. Kapp, general superintendent OF
the Pennsylvania Railway at Baltimore, in
statement regarding the transportation of ex-
by the railroads to guard against just such &C.
cidents. Mr.. Kapp said:
1.-THE Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
on its entire system. including the Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington Railroad and
the Northern Central Railway, most carefully
and rigidly enforced rules governing the load
ing and handling of various explosives with
view to reducing the-danger to the lowest pos
sible minimum. It is self-evident that the
railroad company, with its immense response
bilities for the lives of its passengers and the
safety of property intrusted to it for transport
tation, as well as the care of its own valuable
equipment and facilities, is quite as much in
terested in the vital necessity for adopting the
safest possible means for transportation OF ex-
plosives as the public is"
Sale of Suburban Property.-The fine
country place of the late Robinson w. Gator,
on the old York road and Arlington avenue,
just east of the York turnpike, has been sold

the consideration being about S42,0
Mr.. Cook, it is understood, will at once begin
the building of large number of cottages.
The property comprises about 273 acres, on
which is large old mansion that was Mr..
Gators summer residence. There are also q
number of outbuildings, and the place has al.
ways been noted for its magnificent oak and
other trees.

1ncendiary Fires

Saratoga has been subjected to a
series of fires this winter, anyone of
which had they not been discovered
in time, would have burned up the
business section of the town. A fire
once well started will create currents
of wind from different quarters, no
section being out of danger.
And in the face of the fact that
the town would undoubtedly be wip-
ed out, lives lost, and the life and
growth of the town retarded for years
if not entirely destroyed, some in
dividual or individuals, through Grim
inal selfishness have deliberately and
wantonly undertaken the response
bility for such IA crime.
That, in her unprotected condition
and the nature of the fires started,
Saratoga has been fortunate to an
almost unprecedented degree is ac-
knowledged by all, but everyone is
asking the question, twill we always
he SO Fortunate and with good rea
son.
1t is sufficient strain to be on the
lookout for fires that may be started
accidentally, without the three
fold apprehension that some miser
bile coward is watching for an OPP
%portunity TO catch the people asleep
and wipe out their every means of
livelihood.
a more conservative or law-abiding
community than Saratoga would be
hard to find and their attitude in the
instance of the fire Sunday night will
bear this out, but there is an under
current of feeling that is intense in
its determination to bring the guilty
parties to justice.

Why Make a Change,

In Il pamphlet issued by j. X.
Calkins, editor of the Stock Grower
and Farmer, of Cody, Wyo., Il strong
appeal is made for the retention of
Col. G. q. Coutant as State Librarian
a position he has occupied the last
four years.
1t was recently ANNOUNCED thought
the Cheyenne Tribune that April LIST
Col. Coutant would retire and Mrs.
Clara Bond would be appointed State
Librarian in his stead. Which means
that the Colonel will not be reap
pointed by Gov. Brooks.
That Col. Coutant is "A thoroughly
conscientious and able librarian is
testified to by the manner in which
he has u~ntangled, sorted, put in eX-
c~ellent shape and added to IA con
glomeration of material charitably
called the state library, which, in
the condition of that institution when
he o charge, was absolutely worth
less foI reference or information of
any character on account of the I'M
possibility of getting head or tail of
ii. The state library at present is
worthy of the name, additions have
been made that make it invaluable.
Aud the entire credit for its present
value Is due Col. Coutant.
One Of the old timers in Wyoming,
sincere, upright, and IA power in every
enterprise for the advancement of
Wyoming, an interchangeable worker AS
well AS an able writer, the worst that
can be said of Col. Cutant DIS Mr..
Calkins stated i'll his pamphlet, is
that he is poor and had he worked as
hard for his private interests as he
has for the interests of the state, he
would not now be i'll need Of the
small salary he is receiving for ser
vices the value of which are worth
many times his salary to the state.
One of the organizers, and the pow

that medium than any individual or

through these conventions is of I'M
