The Merry springt,me.

He raked and Scraped at the thun-
dering lawn. and he raked and swept
all day: and he gathered the trash i'm
little piles and carted it all away. O
gaily he swOre as he wrought and
toiled. he swore till the air was blue:
and SO would l at a similar job, and
so. my dear, would you. When the
evening came the lawn was clean. and
he sat by the we'll and cried: for his
whiskers were full of tie old dead
weeds and thorns were in his side: and
he swore by the rood of ST. Elginbred.
whatever that rood may be. that he
never would clean up that yard again
while he was an agent free. His Joints
were sore and his back did ache. and
he went to his downy bed: and '.his
lawn is as smooth as a lawn can be,
dad bless him. the neghbors said
While the poor man slept a tempest
arose, and the winds did their dirty
best: they blew from the north. they
blew from the south, they blew from
the sinful west: and they dumped old
papers and rags and things ON the
lawn where he tOiled that day, and
they covered the trees with potato
stalks and the grass with moldy hay:
and they strewed dead hens and de-
parted cats and tinware and things
like those: and who can describe the
wrath and grief Of the victim when
he arose? He looked outdoors at the
old dead hens and his glance was stern
and high: lie looked askant at the
moldy hay, and tear stood in his
eye.
"You may send for the hearse and
the coal-black team, lie murmured in
anguished tones '.You may dress me
up i'm shelf-worn shroud and plant me
among the bones. Yet he still lived
on for many u year, though lis heart
was broken thing: and he toiled
away as he always toiled. but no one
e'er heard him sing: and lie still con-
versed with his fellow souls and went
to the haunts of men, but his face was
grim and his eyes were sad. and he
never smiled again.
The merriest jest left him unmoved.
and the shining shafts OF wit glanced
off as q bullet of lead will glance when
Il target of steel is hit: at dusk he
would hear the joyous cries of the chill
dren at their play, but heonly Thought
OF the old dead hens and the cats and
prairie hay, and he wrung his hands
i'm strong mans grief and went to his
lonesome den. where he sat in the ST.
lence all alone: he never smiled again.

No More Seeds.

AS stated in the Record recently.
congress has refused TO make an APP
preparation for purchasing seeds to be
distributed free to wEomsoevcr might
want them. The commissioner of ag-
riculture recommended that no appro-
priation be made for purchasing seeds.
There will be no SORROW at the ending
of the useless custom that is said to
have begun nearly seventy years ago.
But the seeds have been sent out this
year and will be distributed as usual.
The Record has received about bush
ell of packages. and any one writing or
applying for them will receive a few
packages as long as they last. The
seeds are neither bettcrnor worse than
those that can he bought i'm amy of the
stores OF the county.

THE STUDENTS LEAVE
Centenary College Forced To
Close Its Doors.

New Orleans, La, (SpeciaD Gen
tenary College, at Jackson, La, has
closed its doors permanently in con
sequence of the feuds in the faculty
the resignation of its president, who
is still lying in a critical condition
from wounds inflicted by a professor
OF physics in fight, and the with
drawal of all its students.
The college was the oldest in
Louisiana, having been founded in
1925 as the Louisiana State College.
It failed, and soon afterward passed
into the hands OF the Methodists,
who named it Centenary College, in
honor OF the centennial of Method
ism.
The college was prosperous in its
earlier days and among its distin-
guished graduates were Jefferson
Davis, president of the Southern Con-
federacy; judah p. Benjamin, sec
retary of State of the Confederacy,
and most of the prominent Methodist
clergymen of the Southwest. Bis
hop Keener was for many years its
president.
The building will probably be used
as an annex for the overflow of the
State insane asylum, which is also
situated at Jackson, near the college.

Stafford Springs, Ct, (speciaD 49,
Mrs. Henry Williams, about so years
old. was found murdered in her
home, near here. Robbery, appar-
emily, was the motive, and the mur-
derer is believed to be a tramp. The
body of Mrs. Williams was found
lying near stove on the floor of the
kitchen of her house, with the throat
cut, head battered and a towel twist
ed around the neck. Near the body
lay a knife and a club.
The woman died after a hard
struggle with her assailant, who, &c
is thought, struck her down with a
club and then cut her throat, after
which the towel was wound about
her neck
Following the murder the man
made a systematic search for money,
for the house was thoroughly ran
sacked and a trunk in an upstairs
room was broken open and about
500 in money taken from It. Part
of the money. later, was found on
the lawn in front of the house.
