Come, comrades. away from chancel and
nave,
From statueSthat CLEAN through trimmed
cedars shade,
To the wild forest ways
Where the wind softly plays
A dirge DER the turf where our comrade
was laid.
Come away from this pomp and this van
ity show.
Let US kindle our fires in that pine shad-
owed glen,
And gather around its Pickering glow;
Let the volume of age
Turn backward page,
While fancy shall make US all soldiers
again.
Now hush, and I'll tell you his story to-
night,
While the stars over head all silently shine,
Of the comrade, who girdled his belt for
the fight
In the CLINT of the morn,
Now lies CORY and torn
Meath the spot where he fell in front OF
his line.
l have echoed his laugh when gaily we
Jared,
With sympathized touch Of his sorrow
have cried,
His canteen, his knapsack and blanket
have shared.
Through sunshine and rain,
And wintry campaign,
l have marched at the touch of this noun
tain boys side.
Remember him, yes. time never can dim
The halo that circles his commonplace
name,
The sword and the plume we're baubles to
him.
And the epaulets bars,
Or the eagles and stars
Were gloss, only gloss on a patriots fame,
I recollect we'll when my ardour and will
From the bubbling front of his courage
partook
In the battery's front, on the high bastion-
ed hill
Where his heor-lit face
Was guidon to trace
Through the smoke-laden air where the
fierce battle shook.
BY the colors we love my cavalier stood,
Mid the sabers keen fash and the bayo-
nets dart
There Il saw him 60 down in wars awful

Then took his last word.
When his pallid lips stirred
With message OF love to the girl OF MS
heart. o..
But the vision has passed, the morning
has come;
Our fires have gone out and the embers
are cold.
We harken no more to the revilee drum
For the swift flying years,
With their joys and their tears
Bear Us on to the soldier asleep in his
mold.
Yet, while organs intone and choristers
wall
While half-masted banners in sympathy
wave.
l would wander away to that pine-shad-
owed vale.
And with earth's choicest bloom
Would garland his tomb.
And drop but tear on my comrades lone

Bv ANTHONY HOPE

Gle was to bring US to grief. There's
many Slip" says the proverb Very
likely One was enough for our bust
ness. For just as we neared the edge of
the wood, just as our eyes were gladdened
by the full sight of the sea across the in
tervening patch of bare land, the Sig
norma gave cry of pain and, in spite
of my arm, fell heavily to the ground. In
moment l was on my knees by her side.

Half an hour-thirty mortal minutes l

face with my handkerchief. In a few
minutes she came to, blu tonly, poor child,
to sob with her bitter pain. Move she
could not, and would not. Again and
again she entreated me to go and leave
her. At last | persuaded her to try and
bear the agony Of being carried in my
arms the rest of the way. I raised her
as gently as l could, wrung to the heart
by her CALAMITY stifed groan, and slowly
and painfully l made my way, thus bur

were no sentries in sight, and with new
spasm of hope L crossed the open land and
neared a little wicket gate that led to

ReXiSiOn Sentiment

The sentiment Tor tariff revision Is
growing in the Republican party. The
triumph of Cummins, in Iowa, a pro-
nounced revisionist, was followed by
the declaration of Senator CuIlom. of
Illinois, In favor of a change in the
Dingley schedules. Yesterday Illinois
Republicans, in State convention, en-
dorsed Cullom for another term in the
Senate and in their platform boldly de-
clared for tariff revision whenever the
change Is advantageous to the country.
To-day Nebraska Republicans went on
record as revisionists and even in Mas
sachusetts the party is turning its face
to the front under revisionist candi-
date for Governor.
Even President Roosevelt is not the
hard and fast standpatter the extreme
protectionists would have the country
believe. In the Watson letter it will be
remembered he said:
Whenever Il given rate or schedule
becomes evidently Instantaneous to
the nation. because of the changes
which go on from year TO year in our
conditions, that rate or schedule will
be changed, while general revision Of
the rates and schedules will be under
taken whenever it shall appear to the
sober business sense Of our people that
the revision will do more, good than
HARM
The sentiment is making itself felt
throughout the country. Republicans
realize certain changes are necessary
and that these changes should be made
by the Republican party rather than
endanger the system of protection by
turning the work over to its enemies.

Had the SYmnfoms.

McGinnis was a man of somewhat
hasty, temper. A long siege Of sickness
had made him exceedingly irritable,
and taking care of and waiting on him
had proved a great trial to Mrs. MEG,
under which she had borne up with
commendable patience and fortitude,
never complaining, no matter in what
form her husbands crankiness mani
tested itself.
One day, when the doctor called as
usual, he cheerfully remarked:
well, Mrs. McGinnis, how is our pa
tient getting along this morning"
"Sure, doctor, ye're too late" she
moaned, disconsolately. ITS after bein'
dead he is, Pm thinkin'."
"Why, it can't be possible your hus-
band has dropped off like that" ex-
claimed the doctor in tones of surprise
HE was worth dozen dead men when
l saw him last. You certainly must
have made mistake, Mrs. McGinnis,
Are you positive that he is really
dead:
''WelI, DOCTOR" said Mrs MEG, chok-
ing back her sob, eff the poor mon isn't
dead he has all the symptoms of it. |

Watering an orchard is a much lar
ger operation than the average orchard
list cares to undertake, unless one has a
system Of piping attached to an ade-
quate water source. And yet, We may
water the trees, either old or young,
or the vegetables, by means Of count
less little invisible pumps that we may
put in operation with the plow and the
harrow.
There is always moisture in the
earth, and far beneath the surface it
is full of water and this water has a
tendency to rise to the surface all the
time and to dampen things at the top.
But, when there is drought, and the
surface becomes baked and hard, the
rising process is greatly retarded, f
not entirely suspended, and then it is
that vegetation and trees suffer-the
many little pumps are clogged and fail
to work, for there is nothing to climb
and nothing to invite the expansion of
the water from below, up near the sur
face.
But, If we are timely and apply the
pillow, and can turn and loosen the earth
on top, and will then occasionally pass
the harrow through it, we may keep
all the air and water cells open in the
top soil, and the moisture will then
come up again.

What Did They Expect.

The present lamentable plight of con-
sentative Democrats who up to a short
while ago were shouting for Bryan
would melt heart Of stone. They had
deluded themselves into thinking that
this Bryan who was sailing home from
his tour around the world was some
other Bryan instead of the man who
had advocated in the past government
ownership of railroads, an income tax
and other policies which they detest.
SO they eagerly awaited his return in
order that he might sound the keynote
for the party.
The returned Bryan, welcomed so
gladly by the conservatives as one Of
themselves, arose before the throng in
Madison Square Garden and spoke his
views. To the amazement and horror
of those who were looking for a great
conservative force to tie to, he proved
the same Bryan whom they had known
in other years! Now they are cropping
helplessly and hOpelessly amid the
ruins of the air castles which they had
built-Chicago Record-Herald.

Shoes Stop Cows Jumping.

Put horseshoe on cows front foot,
advises Maine man, who says that
this is a sure cure, as no COW can
jump unless she can spread the hoofs
in jumping. Others have prevented
this bad habit by simply giving COW an
extra feed of hay just before turning
out of barn, as very few COWS will jump
or tear down fence If perfectly con-
tented they are simply looking for
more to eat Possibly they have asked
for more food, but often we are too
dumb or careless to understand them.
A sure cure for tearing fences is take
sharp awl, punch small hole
through nose and insert a ring. Then
bore small hole in each horn, take piece
Of small wire; make fast to ring on
one side; run through both horns, and
secure wire to other side. Thus the
COW can eat all right. but cannot use
her horns. Don't dishorn a good COW.
Her horns are there for a wise pur-
pose, and I believe it is sin to dis
horn full-grown COW, better stop the
horn when a week old.

A New Aid to the Blind.

DR.. George NJ. Gould, the Philadelphia
eye specialist, writing to the New York
Science of the recently improved Rouls-
sen device for the reproduction of speech,
known as the telegaphone, suggests that
this be employed to take the place of the
cumbersome, expensive, slow and weary
ing embossed letters and points through
which books are now made available TO
the blind. In this way book could be
read to the sightless or to the invalid
while the patient lies in bed, and lectures,
concerts, recftations, ETC., may be had at
will. Letters may be dictated or spoken
upon the thin sheets of steel, and these,
after being sent by mail to a distant
friend, will reproduce the voice of the
sender exactly as to infection, pitch and
emphasis. The record may be used again
and again.

How Il Kansan Cures Alfalfa.

An interesting method of curing al
falfa hay is that used by Hon. J. W.
Berry of Jewell, Kan. According to
Pro Ten Eyck of the Kansas Agricul-
tural college, Mr.. Berrys' plan is to
cut alfalfa as soon as the dew is off
in the morning. rake it green and haul
it in the same day that it is cut, the
only precaution being that there be no
moisture on the hay other than that
contained in the green stems and leaves
He stores the hay in large corncribs,
the bottoms of which are elevated sew
eral feet above the ground with more
or less open spaces, and the sides of
the crib are also open. The cribs are
large enough to store a single cutting
of alfalfa from eleven acres of ground
and only cover the bottom of the cribs
10 a depth of or ) feet. The hay is
spread over the whole crib bottom in
an even layer and not trahped, but left
light and loose as it is thrown in. The
second cutting of alfalfa Is placed
above the first, and the third above the
second. until the crib is full to the top.
For three seasons now Mr.. Berry has
put up the hay from this field in the
manner described above and each win
ter he has baled the hay and sold it at
an average Of 81 a ton above the mar
ket price for good alfalfa hay. The
hay stored and cured in this way has
heen greener in color and of better
qua.ity than alfalfa put up by the usu-
al methods.
Our experiment stations have not
given US as much information on hay
curing as they should. There are sew
eral methods of haymaking and each
is adapted to certain conditions. The
problem in the humid regions is a
knotty one Alfalfa hay mas been pu,
up too green In Texas, and the repu-
tation OF it has suffered accordingly
There is an excellent field for investi-
CATION by our experiment stations.

How He Got His Start in the Early
DAYS of California;

Days of California.
In 1858. or more than a half century
ago. a little party of gold seekers with
meager outfit of horses and wagons
started for California from the village
of Racine, Wis, says Outing In COM
mand of this adventurous expedition
was a young man who took with him
his wife and infant daughter. His
name was Z. j Baldwin, and he made
a wise choice in shaking from his rest
less feet the dust of tanner civiliza-
ton. He needed a larger theater OF
action for his pent-up and surging ac-
tivities. While trailing through the
mountains of Utah the pioneers were
attacked by Indians, who were beaten
s& during a siX-hour fight in which
young Baldwin killed their chief. After
six months of hardship, the party
reached Hangtown (later called Placer
WILEY in California.
Here Baldwin tarried and began
placer mining. He appears to have
been no more than an ordinary red
shifted argOnaut. meeting the ups and
downs of mining luck, until the discov-
cry of the Comstock lode at Virginia
City. Thither he drifted and discovered
that his natural bent was gambling
with the mines that other men had
opened. Amid whirlwind of specula-
ton, he fought his way with such sue
cess that he doomed from the smoke in
a few months as Lucky Baldwin. the
man who had cleaned up $7.50O,0OO in
the gigantic deals in the stock of the
Ophir mines.
San Francisco was the mecca OF
those lucky sons of fortune who were
rearing a great city by the Golden
Gate. As a stock and mining specu-
lator. Lucky" Baldwin shone resplend-
ent, but he was also loyal son of San
Francisco. He built hotels and theaters
and business blocks, even While he was
amazing that far from conservative
community by madly freakish extrav-
agances.
In very lucid interval he bought
all the Spanish grants he could find
near Los Angeles and there spent a
million in making this ranch of his not
only a splendidly productive property,
but also one of the most beautiful es-
tates ever laid out in this or any other
country 1t was his hobby. his pet,
and he planted miles of avenues with
noble shade trees, and made wonder
full tropical gardens. so that to-day his
home is surrounded by paradise of
vernal beauty.
