POET LONGFELLOW's
FIRST COMPOSITION

When he was nine years old,
Longfelloy wrote the following:
Mr. Finney had a turnip, and it
grew and it grew,
And it grew behind the barn, and it
grew and it grew
Till it could grow no taller; then
Mr.. Finney took it up and put
it in the cellar,
The re it lay, there it lay, till it be-
gan to rot,
When his daughter, Susie, washed it
and put it in the pot,
And she boiled it and she boiled ii
as long as she was able.
Then his daughter, Lizzie, took it
and put it on the table.
Mr.. Finney and his wife both sat
down to sup,
And they ate, and they ate, until
they ate the turnip up.

WHY NOT BEGIN?

Whether or not the good roads
movement in this county is to be a
hot-air proposition depends on the
sort Of action to be taken at once.
If the matter is to die with the de-
parture of the National Good Roads
party, one may rightly conclude that
so far as this county was concerned,
1T was indeed hot air. The Morgan
iowa Chronicle has the right ideas
ON the subject, and they are repro
iluced as follows for not only the
Harrison County Good Roads asso-
citation, but also for all the people
Of the county, with the hope those
iileas may be put into actual prac-
lice and demonstration here:
Governor Dawson has approved
by proclamation the good roads
movement and particularly the State
!. meeting to be held in Wheeling on
March Ia and Is. The whole State
is becoming interested. The need
OF roads has long been known to all,
and now the way to obtain them
seems possible. No opposition APP
pears in any of the newspapers, but
with one voice they sound the It'd
ings that we can have highways if
We will. 1t is remarkable that no
county, and no section of country,
that has built good roads, has ever
regretted it. The consensus of
opinion is that the money was wise
" and safely invested. 1t is also
worthy Of remark that when few
miles Of good highway have been
built in county, the people never
stop until such roads reach all the
principal settlements.
@BTonongalia is about to begin
II the city will build the first mile,
The county will build the next. BY
I'll means let the people of Morgan
town do it. The Investment will be
hne of the best that could be made.
Dpen the way for the country people
Do get into town. A beginning is
what is wanting. Road building
will then be like writing poetry as
Byron described it when he said
that to begin was the most difficult
their, except to stop.
e0ur county court is willing, but
it must be backed by the sentiment
Of the people. We cannot sit idle
and expect our court to build these
roads; the people must do it. They
must clear the way, provide the SEN
timent, furnish the sinews of war,
and we can depend on our county
court to do its part. Let the begin
ming be made"

His Favorite Daughter Broke His
Heart. '1} = .%..+

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 2o.-Pressed down
by hard work, business perplexities, sick
ness and death in his family and domes-
tic troubles and unhappiness, Buffalo
Bill, the famous, old plainsman and
Snowman, is threatened with a complete
breakdown. He now fully realizes that
if he would live and enjcyy fair degree
of health. physical and mental, he must
make radical change in his way of
living
r Accordingly he has made up his mind
to quit the show business at the end of
the current year, return to his own cotir-
try from Europe settle down in Wyom-
ing, where he is happier than he is
anywhere else in the world, keep an
eye on his big ranches and his other bus
lness enterprises there and take the
world easier than he has been wont to
take it.
The physical and mental strain to
which he has been subjected of late has
told upon. his naturally rugged consti-
tuition. He has aged very rapidly and
perceptibly within the last two or three
years. 1t is now question of his TAX
ing better care of himself or suffering
a physical or mental collapse.
The death of his eldest and favorite
daughter two or three years ago nearly
broke Colonel Cody's heart. That was
really the beginning of his troubles, ply
sical and mental. The outcome Of his
efforts to obtain a legal separation from
his wife added to his unhappiness. He
realizes now that he made grave mis-
take in applying for divorce.
