Ahsnrditx ns Free Seeds.

New York Times.
 Not only does every member of the House know that the annual seed dis tribution long since became farce and a scandal. with hardly a single redeem ing feature but practically every farm CT in the country knows 1t. too, and all of them for whose opinion a con gressman would be expected to have either expect or fear are accustome ed to speak of the practice sometimes with contempt and sometimes with indigna- tion-never with any other emotion. The Idea that the serious aSriculture or horticulture of the country depends upon or even is apparently benefited by these absurd gifts of common seeds, usually of the most untrustworthy quality. Is too absurd for considera- ton.

The Road.

Long and gray the old road leads. Stretching afar to the misty haze: Past the wood and the scented meads-- And back OCT the hills to the other
 days. Long the road that my feet have trod. And where, I dream. will I find the
 end? Where Is the green of the orchard sod. And the cooling shade where the beeching bend? Long and weary has been the way, And deep. so deep. has been the
 gloam, Winding, winding, so far away Leading so far away from homei

For the first time in sixteen years the Democrats of Omaha made clean sweep in the municipal election last Tuesday. They elected their entire ticket. from Mayor down, with the ex- ception of one Councilman out of the twelve. That lone member is all the advantage the Republicans get out of tke scramble. It was a severe jolt for the party which has controlled the city so long that they had come to look on 1t as firmly anchored.

CHILD LABOR.

The views of Mir B. B. Conner. can- didate for Governor in Alabama, do not accord with those of our actual Governor. Hon. Joseph W. Folk. of Missouri. Tn recent speech at Lex ington, Kentucky. the latter said:
 The subject of compulsory education and child labor is important to every State, but especially in the Southern States. In this section the marvellous industrial development of the last few years has caused factories to spring up on every hand. Few of the Southern States have laws forbidding child la bor. and the factories are too often operated largely with this kind of la Dor. Strange to say nearly all of the the. enemy of education and of civili- zation. If this conference shall suc- ceed in ,arousing public sentiment against this abuse and in favor of the reform of compulsory education it's la- bors will be of untold benefit to count less millions.
 When Mir. Conner was working to prevent the passage of anti-child labor laws by the Alabama Legislature he was not moved by the high ideas as to child labor expressed by the Governor of Missouri. Quite the contrary.

THE HAT PIN
AS A WEAPON

That peculiar article of feminine
wear that hatpin, is not merely or
namental, nor is its usefulness lin
tied to securing the headgear OF mi
lady when she takes her walks
abroad. Chicago shopgirl held OF
five bold, bad. broad daylight burg
lars with one the other day. and
caused the arrest of two OF them. In
the hands OF women entirely up-to-
date, the pin is mightier than the
sword. The moral is no woman
should venture abroad where bad
men roam without her hatpin Per
contra, the useful hatpin may be
abused, as in the case OF the woman
charged with causing her husbands
death with one.-Brooklyn Standard

Mrs Ella Wheeler Wilcox. the
Poetess of Passion, after seeing for
the first time, "A Message From
Mars" which will be seen here at
the Elks' Opera House, December
27th, wrote in the New York Journ-
al concerning the play as follows:
Il wish every man and woman in the
United States might be permitted
the privilege OF seeing the comedy,
"A Message From Mars" To enjoy
an evening of continuous fun, to have
the eye pleased, and the ear gratifed.
and the mind and heart lifted to a
higher ideal OF life all in one enter
tainment is rarely our privilege. 7
hope 1t may be played In every city
in the United States to crowded
houses. The tremendous success
which this play has scored both I'm
Europe and America proves how
false is the impression maintained
by the pessimists that only vulgar
and immoral productions are en-
couraged in this age" The cast
contains players Of recognized abil-
ity. many of WHOM were members of
the original London and New York
productions.

Oh this is the time of the year like

When the ground Is all covered
with snow,
When the breezes of winter the ma
ked checks test,
And the weathercock points To the
cold northwest.
And the short days come and go.
Tho the forest is dead. and the field
is bare.
My spirits are all astir,
Let the mercury sink have never
care.
For the keen-edgod wind or the
frosty air.
In my wrappings of warmest fur.
My boys have forgotten the barefoot
days
And my girls are all thinking of
me.
This time of the year they arc mend
ing their ways,
For they know that decorous con
duct pays
In the fruit Of the Christmas tree!
I've been hurrying and hustling the
whole year long.
A-stufiing my monstrous pack,
And many a thrill and many song
I'll bring to the hearts OF the
noisy throng
That waits for my coming back.
A very short while. and / am away,
with a cheer for my girls and boys,
Then hurry The minutes and hasten
