In sweet October's short ming days
When comes the purple, smoky haze
Of many an Indian summer morn.
When through the rustling blades Of
corn
The winsome winds of autumn play
No trace of winter, cold and gray
Then fancy takes n backward flight,
Forgotten pleasures come to light,
The fun and frolic, rigid rule,
of childhood's joy-the country school
The course of study was not high,
But small boys oft were made to sigh,
With eyes upon the dog-eared book.
Not daring otberwheres to look;
"The rule of three they pondercd DER
And sadly unused on Webster's lore;
hcGuffey's Readers were the joy
OF every story loving boy
The teacher at his desk and stool
Was car and sultan in the school!
but minds oppressed would soon rebound
When came the call of '.fox and hound;'
And townball" had its deyotees,
Who scorned all games that proffered
ease;
With laughing eye and rosy cheek
The girls would play Mt 'hide and seek. y
When books" were called with tinkling
bell
A thirsty crowd stood round the well,
Waiting their parched lips to cool
Before the grind of country school!
Where are the boys who played with me

Building Winter Roosts.
All poultrymen do not realize the
Importance of care In constructing
roosts In the winter poultry house. It
is worth spending considerable time
to do this work properly in the begin
ming. for less fighting of vermin will
be necessary in consequence and there
will be little danger of injured birds.
In the first place, construct all the
roosts SO that they are movable. This
is easily done by arranging the end
pieces. the portions which sustain the
roosts, with deep cuts shaped like the
letter V, into which the roosts may be
set. They are easily removed II con.
structed in this manner. Then the
roosts must be placed low, from If
teen to eighteen inches being about
right, the lesser distance for the
heavier breeds. II 1t is necessary to
place the roosts higher then board
with cleats across should be provided
so that the fowls may walk up to the
first roost. but do not place them high
If 1t can be avoided, for the birds are
likely to reach the ground by flying.

care they may take In walking up the

Danger In Bermuda Grass.
Bermuda grass often carries dead
ly germ at the end of rainy seasons
like that just past. Cattle are espe-
cially subject to this germ, and their
symptoms are most confusing to the
local veterinarians. Milk cows are the
cattle first to suffer. The COW first ap-
pears stiff in the legs and drags her
headquarters. This is often followed
with inability to get up for many hours
when the COW lies down. Appetite
may remain good for several days,
but in severe cases paroxysms set in
Gifts" and "madness'D, and the COW
dies in evident torture. Careful ex.
animation Of the back and loins, In
severe cases, will show signs of blood
on the surface usually black and dry,
as though horse-flies had bitten the
COW. This symptom somewhat resem.
bles blackleg. There is no known
specific for this trouble, which has
been but little studied by scientists.
The best system of treatment we have
seen consists of removing the COW
from the rank, coarse Bermuda pas
lures to short, sweet grass. Give pound
doses of EPSON salts to purge and free
the digestive tract from poisonous con-
tents. Repeat on the third day. Keep
cows In cool barns or sheds and feed
grain very lightly. This seems to be
new disease and did not come to
the writer's attention until some six
years ago. We have never known any
other stock besides cattle to suffer
from this cause.-Farm and Ranch.

decides in favor of that of cracking
eggs. II met man who said he was
a biscuit manufacturer on large scale
and was rather inclined to boast about
the number Of eggs continental eggs
which his firm bought In the course of

calamity five eggs are broken into a

a00MparasOn OF Texts Used In Print
Ing In the Father1nnd.
It is remarkable that SO practical a
people as the Germans should continue
to use their blind black letter. says
Jerome Hart. "The German text is
ugly, and when printed from small
type on dingy paper with high speed
presses, as Is the case with most daily
newspapers, 1t is difficult to decipher.
Ever since the days of Cadmus alpha
bets have been designed to convey ideas,
and those alphabets which transfer
thought with the most qulckness, clear
ness and precision are the best Con-
sidered from these standpoints the Ger
man alphabet Is one of the worst. That
1t is failure lis shown unconsciously
In many ways. Advertisers for exam
pie, have no sentiment about them.
They want to reach the reader and
reach him quickly. Therefore nearly
all the display advertisements in Ger
man newspapers are printed in Latin
characters.
So, too, with the commercial and
chants have no time to waste in de-
ciphering badly printed German text.
Therefore the commercial page in the
German dailies Is now nearly always

Another proof of the inferiority of
the German text is the fact that nearly
all German scientific works are printed
In Roman. This has been the case for
years, but it has had little effect on
the printing Of books of general ma
ture. Bismarck did much to retard this
needed improvement, for he chung stub

COLOR OF THE SUN.
What Would Happen If 1t Were 9th
er Than What 1t Is.

A German astronomer has published
some interesting observations on the
theoretical effects of change in the
color of the sun 1t is amazing to con-
slider the possibilities if our sun were
| green, blue or red instead of what 1t
is. If it were blue, there would be
only two cOlors in the world--blue and
black. If it were red, then everything
would be red or black. If it were yell
low, everything would be yellow or
black Every one knows that the light
of our sun consists of six colors, and
the reason things are different hues is
that some swallow up five of the colors
and reflect only one. Thus we have
primoses yellow because they absorb
all but the yellow, roses red because
they absorb all but the red, violets
purple because they absorb every
thing but red and blue, mixture Of
which two colors forms purple.
In the event Of the sun being red,
roses. blood, red ink and all other
things that are now red would reflect
it. So also would snow, the lily and
all things that are now white, but
these would, of course, be red. Every
thing else would swallow up the red
light and appear quite black. Grass,
for instance would be black as ink,
and so would the blue of the sky, but
the white clouds would be red The
same kind of thing would happen il
the sun were blue, Everything now
blue or white would be blue and every
thing else black. The whole sky,
clouds and all, would be blue The
grass this time would be blue, not
black, for it reflects both blue and
yellow. Hair would be all black, the
red of the lips would be black, and the
rest Of the face would be cloudy
blue. If the sun We're green, we would
have a little variety. Things that are
now yellow would still be yellow,
things that are blue would be blue,
and things that are green would still
be green, but there would be no reds,
puppies, orange pinks or any of those
CHEEKY hues that make the world look
SO bright York Herald

MARCUS DALYs PLUCK.
The story of Loan That Brought
Success and Wealth.

Success and Wealth.
When the outlook was the blacklist
and this indomitable captain of men,
Marcus DAILY, had exhausted his re-
sources and his credit IA fortunate ac-
cident placed in his hands small but
| sufficient sum of money to transform
inevitable defeat into certain victory.
Lloyd Teyis, the California lawyer, and
his mining partner, }. B. Haggin, who
had been visiting their properties at
Homestake, stopped at Butte on their
way home to California to take look
at the new camp Marcus Daily knew
Messrs. Haggin and Tevis we'll, for he
had worked for them in the old Califor-
MIA days. He visited them at their
hotel, not the gorgeous palace of gran
lite, marble, precious onyx and mahog-
any which adorns Butte today, but a
humber wooden structure more in
keeping with the squalid surroundings
OF the new camp. In Haggins bed
room, the only place available for a
private conversation, DAILY made a
clean breast of it to his friends and
appealed to them for aid, explaining
his theory fully and citing many ad-
ditional facts which had developed dur
ing his mining operations in Anaconda
that went to strengthen it.
1t was thoroughly characteristic Of
the man that he did not attempt to
Maggie over the terms of the loan, but
stated merely the facts and closed his
negotiations with the words: "Now,
gentlemen, that is correct statement
of the situation of my affairs and the
condition of my mine. l must have
$4,000, and | must have it at once to
meet next Saturdays payroll and cur
rent bills and to provide for the ex-

have told. you what | have got and
what l think and what | think | am
going TO get when that shaft is down
another 100 feet or so. Make your own
terms, but let me have the money"
They gave him the $4,000, and, of
course, being astute business men. a
contract was drawn up and signed then
and there transferring to them the con-
trolling interest in the property. But
up to the date of his death LLOYD Teyis
always declared that though he believ-
ed thoroughly in Marcus Days integ-
rity, both he and Mr.. Haggin thought
that he was chasing chimera, that the
theory upon the elaboration of which
| Marcus DAILY had spent so many sleep
less nights and all his substance was
fallacious and that no gold-copper de-
post would ever be discovered in the
bowels of Butte mountain In fine,
Haggin and Tevis let DAILY have $4,000
because they liked him. They certain
ly never dreamed that Anaconda
would prove a more veritable bonanza
than the Comstock lode AS for DAILY,
he had never doubted his ultimate sue
cess, and when three months after that
meeting in the hotel bedroom the main
shaft of Anaconda penetrated, as he had
always believed it would, the richest
and most extensive gold-copper deposit
in the known world he conveyed the in
telligence to his partners in California
