THE FARMER BOY.

Pulling the weeds from the garden.
Driving the cows home at night,
Dropping the corn in the springtime,
Mailing pale on tight;
hunting for eggs in the barnyard,
Looking for turkeys astray,
Carrying lunch to the reapers,
Tossing the new-mown hay;
Riding the horses to water,
Feeding the chickens and cows,
Throwing the hay to the managers,
Down from the fragrant mows;
" embarrassing corn-cribs and fences,
Gathering fruit from the trees,
Covering flower beds in autumn,
For fear of an early freeze
Pumping the clear, cold water,
Chopping an arm-load of wood
These are uhe farmboy's gymnastics;
They're cheap, but none the less good

of these goes by the name of "pig-

good Idea Of what this sport is like.

which Is considered very smart thing
to do. The pig, which had already
been stuck, was on its hind legs trying
to cut at the horse with it's tusks.

FIRE IN GERMAN
HOSPITAL CAUSE
OF MANY DEATHS

That many were burned to death in
the German hospital at Mole and Four
teenth streets is the belief of Fred Zeiss,
a refugee. He said that the hospital
caught fire unexpectedly and those in
charge had very limited time to remove
the patients. Added to this was a
scarcity of means of conveyance.
Zeiss spent Wednesday night. Thurs
day, Friday and portion of yesterday
in Golden Gate park. During the first
day." he said when seen after his ar
rival last night, "it was hard to get
ANYTHING to eat and many went hungry
Thursday afternoon a provision train
arrived. After that in the part of the
park where our party was there was
plenty to eat. There were only four of
us and they gave us two hams. The
soldiers passed the food around. There
was plenty of ham, bacon, canned
meats and fruit, There was no rush for
food when the provisions came. Every
one was told to remain quiet and they
would soon get their share"
