Massachusetts, Ploughman, we can

A man arrested in Pittsburg for
ballot box stuffing dropped dead be-

| Paper money, says a meteorological
expert, will afford transportation for
a germ for two months, while metal
would carry the same undesirable pas

Now will you continue to insist upon
getting your change in bills rather

Massachusetts Plougnman.
Some day e great reformer, in
whose aspirations sense is duly blend
ed with enthusiasm, will make and
win great fight for adequate pockets
in women's street clothes. Why
woman does not have more and bet
ter pockets in her clothes is one Of
the mysteries Of civilization, says
Harper's Weekly.
Since the present enthusiasm for
observing the habits of the birds
came into full swing it may be sus-
gets the worm, remarks the Boston
Transcript, but is about the only bird
that is given an opportunity to go
worm getting in peace and quiet.
Irrigation is likely to revolutionize
farming in the far West, and the con-
sequences can not be anticipated,
opines the Agricultural Epitomist.
With plenty of moisture the soil of
arid portions of that vast and thinly
populated country can be made to
yield phenomenal crops of wheat, and,
in fact, every product of the soil that
can be grown in any part of the Unit

| General Chaffee has issued an Or
der that American soldiers must be
swimmers, states the Hartford
| Conn Courant This is sound pol
icy, and it is good work to compel
the men who are not up in the art
to learn. 1t is almost as essential to
a soldier as shooting. But there is
not reason for limiting the compul-
sion to the army. 1t should be most
emphatically enforced in our public
schools.
Probably larger number of peO-
pie than ever before will come to
realization this year of the greatness
of our country and the Importance of
our national park, says the Boston
Transcript, for the travel to the Lewis
and Clark Exposition at Portland will
lead many thousands from the East
and the Mississippi Valley past the
gateway of the Yellowstone Park, and

down with his engine in a wreck is
considered worthy of great common
dalton, when the truth is, as all rail-
way men are aware, that the unfor-

at the critical moment and hesitated
to jump. When an accident is i'm

Charles Green, who is one of the
few farmers who gives some time to
the sheep raising, says he never lost
anything in this branch of his farm
industry, and that he believes the
general summing up will show
profit, states the Indiana Farmer.
One of the nicer features to sheep
raising is that the marketing of the
wool brings in ready cash at a time
when the farm usually has nothing
to market, comments the Rossville
Ql.) Press. Wool has not been very
high of late years, but it has been
high enough to give a fair profit on
the labor and other cost of raising.
Success on the farm depends on
something more than the mere per-
Torrance of manual labor, declares
Frank NJ. Beverly in the Agricultural
Epitomist. The farmer must study to
direct this labor in view of certain
ends to produce the best results. In
