IN LIGHTER VEIN.
Building the Canal.

Commissioners were chosen,
And commissioners retired;
Some started with feet frozen,
Some were politely fired;
Boards were re-organized,
Regulations made,
Job was even Morganized--
And all the time the isthmus lay
awaiting for the spade.
Then the worry Wallace,
On the business bent,
Brings a certain solace,
To Taft and President,
Wallace gets an offer,
Bottling Subway air,
Quits TO fill his Golfer
And no one digs the old canal, and
why should Wallace care!
Wallace gets "Tafting,"
Just as Bowen did
Now there's talk Of grating,
Defalcations hid.
Dirt has started flying
But not beneath the spade
Men in talk are vying,
And there's the little old canal wait.

A Rural Lyric.


Who doth not love the rural charm,
The breeze that at your heartstring
tugs?
The thousand pleasures Of the farm,
And bugs?
Full oft / lay me down to dream,
Where ripping waters gleam and
glance,
Cheered by the prattle of the stream,
And ants.
l love each tiny, chirping note
That every day an Eden makes,
The waving fields of wheat or oats,
And snakes.
Let the world turmoil never cease,

III Kernewick we publish the fol-
lowing appropriate verse:
WHEN FATHER RODE THE GOAT
The house is full of arnica
And mystery profound;
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound:
We leave the big piano shut
And do not strike note:
The Doctors been here seven times
Since father rode the goat.
He joined the lodge week ago
Got in at a. m.
Though he says he brought them,
His wrist was sprained and one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been lively time
When father rode the goat.
He's resting on the couch today
And pracuicing his signs
The hailing signal, working grip
And other monkeyshines;
He mutters passwords meath his breath
Ard other things he'll quote
They surely had an evenings work
When father rode the goat.
He has gorgeous uniform,
All gold and red and blue;
A hat with plumes and yellow braid
And golden badges, too.
But somehow when we mention it
He wears look so grim
We wonder if he rode the goat
Or if the goat rode him.

Russ,A,s HOUR OF TRAVAIL

Comment of the ST. Petersburg
newspapers on the disaster which has
overtaken Rojestvensky's fleet pos
sesses special significance aside from
the plainly worded hostility to the
bureaucracy. The papers, except the
reactionary organs, which are without
popular influence at this time. voice
an unmistakable demand for immedi-
ate peace Even the once strong oppo
sition to the payment of an indemnity
appears to have vanished and it is
stated, with every evidence of salts
faction, that Russia is not likely to
have trouble in meeting the payment
of an indemnity, as financiers who
were willing to lend money for a con-
tinuation of the war are ready to step
forward with what money may be
necessary to the conclusion Of peace.
Assuming that the popular newspa-
pers voice the popular feeling, it is
plain that the Russian people realize
the hopelessness of further hostilities,
even though the warlike members Of
the bureaucracy will not concede that
Russia is beaten.
Mingled with the clamors for peace
are demands for popular representa-
ton and open threats against those
who are responsible for Russia's inter
nal misery and international humilia-
ton. There is no mistaking the ring
of the article in the Slovo, which says:
Enough" Blindfolded for two years,
the Russian people have been march
ing to the brink of destruction, but
the bandages are now torn from the
eyes of 100000 of Russians, and

CELERY IN TENNESSEE.
A Good Money Crop For the Truck
Farmers of Tennessee to
Daily with.

Celery is a plant that car be success
fully cultivated from Canada to the
southern border of Florida, 1t is a
plant which the climate does not re-
strict. Its only conditions are richness
Of soil and a sutilciency of water reg
ularly during its growing period.
Swampy or marshy lands that have ac-
cumulated large deposits Of vegetable
matter, which had decayed into a muck,
have made fortunes for the Germans
at Kalamazoo, Mich. Swamps that can
be drained for an ideal spot to grow
large, brittle and saleable celery. Up
lands will grow celery, and 1t may be
more highly favored, but the mucky
fiat lands are the most profitable.
The time for sowing the seed in Ten
nessee is in February, in boxes in the
kitchen or some warm room where It
can have sufficient heat. The seeds are
very slow to germinate-about Is days.
Sow seed in a box and sprinkle a slight
covering Of dirt over the seed. When
the plants are up, put the box in the
sunshine and keep the soil in the box
moderately moist. After the plants are
three inches high in the box take them
up and transplant to another box, Civ
ing them more room, clipping part Of
the roots and part of the tops off. This
will cause the plants to be stocky and
grow more readily when set out in the
garden.

William II. Harbour, of Atlanta. has
invented and received letters patent
upon a cotton harvester, which he
feels confident will solve the cotton
picking problem.
According to the patent rights is
sued to Mr.. Harbour, his machine is
described as an improved penumatic
cotton harvester.
Mr.. Harbour's cotton harvester
works on the principle of pneumatic
suction and is so constructed and ad-
iusted as to separate the lint cotton
from the leaves and other foreign mat.
ter, which may be gathered with it.
The machine Is made to be hauled
across a cotton field by q pair of mules,
and can be operated, it is stated, by
one man and a boy.
MIR. Harbour states that his ma
chine will pick all the cotton open in
iiye-acre field in one day.
A demonstration of these facts will
prove that Mr.. Harbour's machine may
become TO the south what the reaper
and binder Is to the great grain grow
ing sections Of the west.
The principle Of Mr.. Harbour's ma
chine is vastly different from that of
the other machines which have been
constructed with the same end in view,
but which have practically all proven
failures.
The principle Of other machines has
been either rotating fingers or revolv-
ing stems.
The Scientific American of a recent
date gives Mr.. fiarbour's cotton har-
vester special notice as one of the more
important recently patented inven-
tons.
