A Volunteer working Corps.

Monday morning volunteer work.
Ing corps armed with axes assembled
on the property Of the School of the
Ozarks," to put in the day clearing
the grounds preparatory to the begin
ming OF the work Of construction on the
buildings. Men were on hands in
large numbers, almost every part OF
the county being represented, among
them being men far down the shady
slope of life, bu: I'll ready to show their
approval Of, interest in and enthusiasm
for this great educational enterprise.
Work was engaged In with Il will,
not the least active by any means be-
ing President Beatie himself, who was
conspicuous with his axe, always in
effective motion. Many hands unac.
customed to such labor welded the
axes, including nearly all of our pro-
fessional men, some Of whom handled
their weapons in manner TO induce
the suspicion that their wives had al
ways split the kindling. But they kept
busy nevertheless, and though the
weather clerk interfered with showers,
the noon hour showed good progress.
A bountiful dinner was served free
In the court room, after which the peo.
pie listened to an entertaining talk by
President Eeatie. in which, by means
of the blue prints made by the archi.
tect, he impaired good idea of the
great size and admirable arrangement,
of the building upon which construction
will soon begin. The speaker took oc.
casion to compliment the people OF the
county upon their interest, shown
by their contributions, and the work
ing interest they had acquired by their
presence upon this occasion, assuring
them that the continuation of their in
terest and effort would insure the build.

however, by what he had learned oI
the character of our people, that the
interest and effort would continue.
The presidents talk had the eirec,

Despite the moisture the work ol
clearing was resumed In the afternoon

AN OZARK EPISODE.

Jar up the steep and rocky side
- Ofan Ozark hill my footsteps led;
The moss lay thick beneath my feet,
The pines sighed over head.
An old church yard loomej up ahead
Within the forest nave
Aud In the shadows near my path
saw n babyS grave.
The briar wrestles with the weed
Upon the lonely mound;
The simple head.board, rudcly writ,
Had rottcd to the ground
raised il with reverent hand,
From dust It's words tn clear,
hut time had blu,trd all but these:
Our darling slumbers here"
Silent siood beside the grave;
My eyes grew dim with tears.
How few, perhaps, had here been she'd
In all these lonely years,
M mothers hand would ever lay
\ single blossom here;
perhaps she too had gone To dwell
Within II brighter sphcrc.)
Below, White River proudly rolls
Adown It's rocky glen;
Above, there lies that lonely grave,
Far from The haunts Of men.
Beneath the cedar and the pine,
In solitude austrrr,
Unnamed and long forgotten lie,
mothers darling here.

AN uNGRATEFUL son.

hN tN'hN' Gl - !. ooN'
There is no suffering like heart
agony.
A mother never regrets any physical
pain that she can endure for her loved
ones. IL Is the anguish OF the heart
that kills her-angulsh caused by their
ingratitude and wrong-doing. a saint
ly OLD wUman-now in Heavens said TO
me, "when our children are small they
trample upon our toes; but when they
grow up they trample upon our hearts. +"
That was the cry of broken hcart. She
had drunken, debauched son, who had
squandered her money, forged his
fathers name and disgraced the family.
That mother complained not of any
physical suffering she had endured for
her boy. She had gone down INTO the
very jaws of death, almost TO give him
life: but the pain was swallowed up in
joy when she pressed the newborn
child to her heart. Through years and
years she had ministered to his wants.
She had spentsleepless nights with him
when he was sick. Her hand had
smoothed his brow and her feet had
been quick TO go upon errands OF love
for him. In pain and watchfulness and
weariness she had cared for him; but
never a murmur fell from her lips. IL
was a joyful service.
But his waywardness broke her heart.
HAVE we not all met the gentle
kindly, good-natured woman, who
takes life serenely and simply, who
reaches out after happiness wherever
it may be found and does all she can to
make Others happy? Often she is care
less In her home, in the little things
that make a fine housekeeper. Seldom
is she very wise or witty. She does not
talk much, she is willing TO listen. She
has lovely smile, a soft touch, re.
sponsive glance and kind word for
everyone. She has many faults and us
they are on the surface they are readily
seen'-but everyone loves her. The
strenuous turn TO her for rest; the
basty-tempered go to her for counsel;
the sOrrowful 60 to her for comfort;
the erring 60 to her for sympathy. She
is not SO perfect that she fails to under.
stand the mean and the wicked. People
do not Judge her, for she judges none,
They offer her love, and as love Is the
one thing in the world that seems to
her worth winning, she is content with
what they give.

Five Crops of Alfalfa.

Herman Miller, living north of
Nashville, has harvested five
crops of alfalfa off ten acres this
season and averaged one ton an
acre. AT $1S a ton, he would have
realized 5000 from his ten-acre
plot. But he will not sell it on
account of its feeding value. ].
NJ. Amos, another farmer living
south of that city, has cut four
crops off fifteen acres, which av-
eraged one and one-fourth tons

Critic Says We Have Cured Him of
 Vanity, Curiosity snc Ambition. "'vanity of vanities, and all is van ity,' and I've had enough of it." is the burden of a letter sent by George Der nari Shaw, the English critic and dramatist, to press clipping bureau of New York city. The supreme egotist has at last been beaten at his own game, says the New York News. Here is how he admits his defeat:
 never want to see an American paper again. You have cured me of vanity. O. curiosity. of ambition. You have shown me that modesty and retirement are sweet CT. easier and much cheaper than public ity. I find the average charge for press clippings is about sS.7t per item of news. There Is one paragraph containing five lines of nonsense about my whiskers. of which you have sent me scores. Now. I do not blame you for this. I told you it would happen to subscribers like me. who have silly little jokes copied from paper to paper throughout the states. I. therefore. confess that have had enough of fl. The day you receive this send me a final &C., count, erase my name from your books and never let me sec the name lof the clipping buresuD again.
 wish you well. I forgive you. Thank you. Bless you. And farewell.
