Swimming Time.

The river calls; The river calls! The urchin, freed from school Forsakes the place of learning's halls And seeks the dusky pool, Where far beneath the sunf1sh lies In waters calm and clear. Der which proclaim the dragon flies That swimming time is here. The river calls; The river calls! The lawyer in the town Forgets the client for whom he bawls, The woolsack and the gown; The merchant lays his ledgers by And lends a willing ear To all the unseen sprites that cry That swimming time is here. The river calls; The river calls! The careworn millionaire Observes his mansions lofty walls Dissolve beneath his stare. Whilst visions come of boyhood days The mill race and the weir With summer calling through the haze That swimming time Is here.

too low. The trail was blocked good part of the way with outfits, and the suffering was awful, but there must have been at least 25,OO0 who got through.
 "You know cholera broke out among the emigrants, and there were hundreds who died from it. At one place we counted fifty-one graves, all made within a week. Our party escaped the cholera and got through without losing an animal or a piece of baggage.
 ''I remember how glad we were when we got to The Dales of the O. lumbia, for we thought that then our troubles were ended We piled all our baggage on to big flatboat, and there was hardly any room for passengers, but we sat around on the baggage and were happy. One day as we were go- ing through a gorge with the noun tains rising high on both sides some one started singing softly Home. Sweet Home Others took up the song and we all sang one verse. Then we started the second. but at the close of the second line every one stopped suddenly and we all cried like babies, every one of us."
 Mir. Meeker expects to continue his journey some time this month and thinks he can reach Omaha before cold weather strikes him. He has with him hired man, who takes care of the oxen, and photographer to take pie lures of the landmarks, with their wives to do the cooking. Mr. Meeker intends to take careful notes of the trail and to follow it more closely than any one else ever has. He says that he will transcribe every one of the hun dreds of names carved or written on Independence rock, the most famous landmark of the trail.

Naming the Farm.

Why don't more of the farmers name their farms? It ought to be done. says the Farmer and Garden. The lettering is done in cement and laid in the sod on a slope in the yard. It shows up beautifully even on moonlight nights. Something similar could also be done in flowers with little work.

hair with her cool hands, and then sne left him to think and brood and dream. It was many days before his turbu- lent mind drifted to the subject of money, but suddenly he found himself hoping that the surgeons would be gen. erous with their charges. He almost suffered relapse when Lotless, vls- ibly distressed. informed him that the total amount would reach $3,0O0.
 And what is the additional charge for the operation?" asked Monty, un- willing to accept such unwarranted favors.
 'Tt's included in the $3,00O," said Lotless. "They knew you were my friend and it was professional eti- quette to help keep down expenses"
 For days Brewster remained at Mrs. Gray's, happy in it's restfulness, serene under the charm of Peggy's presence and satisfied to be hopelessly behind in his daily expense account. The inter- est shown by the inquiries at the house and the anxiety or his friends were soothing to the profigate. It gave him back little of his lost self re- spect. The doctors finally decided that he would best recuperate in Florida and advised month at least in the warmth. He leaped at the proposi- ton, but took the law into his own hands by ordering General Manager Harrison to rent q place and insisting that he needed the companionship of Peggy and Mrs. Gray.
 How soon can 1 get back to work. doctor?' demanded Monty the day be- fore the special train was to carry him south. He was beginning to see the dark side of his enforced idleness. His blood again was tingling with the de- sire to be back in the harness of spendthrift.
 'To work?" laughed the physician. And what is your occupation, pray?"
 Making other people rich," respond ed Brewster soberly.
 "Well, aren't you satisfied with what you have done for me? If you are as charitable as that you must be still pretty sick. Be careful and you may be on your feet again in five or six weeks"
 Harrison came in as Lotless left. Peggy smiled at him from the window. She had been reading aloud from novel so garrulous that it fairly cried aloud for interruptions.
 Now, Hopper, what became of the ball I was going to give?" demanded Monty, troubled look in his eyes.
 Why, we called it off," said Nop- per in surprise.
 Don't you remember. Monty?" ask ed Peggy, looking. up quickly and won- dering if his mind had gone trailing off.
 Il know we didn't give it, of course, but what date did you hit upon."
 "We didn't postpone it at all," said Hopper. How could we? We didn't know whether-I mean, it wouldn't have been quite right to do that sort of thing
 Il understand. Well, what has be- come of the orchestra and the flowers and all that?"
 ''The orchestra is gallivanting around the country, quarreling with itself and everybody else and driving poor Gard her to the insane asylum. The flowers have lost their bloom long ago."
 Well, we'll get together. Hopper, and try to have the ball at mid-Lent I think I'll be well by that time"
 Peggy looked appealingly at Harri- son for guidance, but to him silence seemed the better part of valor, and he went off wondering if the illness had completely carried away Monty's req son.

The lines are well drawn, therefore,

question, the tariff question and the
question Of taxing land values. The
