Driving Home the Cows.


Out Of the clover and the blue-eyed grass
lie turned thdm into the river lane.
One after another he let them pass,
Then fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows and over the hill
He patiently followed their softer pace; ;
The merry whistle for once was still,
And something Swallowed the sunny
face.
Only boy, and his father had said
lie never could let his youngest got
Two already were lying dead
Under the feet of the trampling foe.
But after the evening work was done,
And the frogs were loud In the meadow
swamp,
Over his shoulder be slung his gun
And stealthily followed the footpath
damp,
Across the clover and through the wheat,
With resolute heart and purpose grim,
Though cold was the dew on his hurrying
feet,
And the blind bats fitting startled him.
Thrice since then had the lanes been
white,
And the orchards sweet with apple
bloom;
And now, when the cows come back at
night,
The feeble father drove them homo.
For news had come TO the lonely farm
That three were lying whore two had
lain;
And the old mans tremulous, paisied arm
Could never lean on q sons again.
The summer day brew cool aud late,
He went for the COWS when the work
was done:
But down the lane, as he opened the gate,
He saw them coming, one by one
Brindle, Ebony, Speckle and Dcss,
Shaking their horns In the evening
wind;
Cropping the buttercups out of the
But who was 1t following lose behind3
Loosely swung In the Idle air
The empty sleeve Of army blue;
And worn and pale, from the crisping
hair,
Looked out face that the father knew.
For gloomy prisons will sometimes yawn
And yield their dead unto life again;
And the day that comes With a cloudy
dawn
In golden glory at last may wane.
The great tears sprang to their meeting
eyes,
For the heart must speak when the lips
are dumb
And under the silent evening skies
Together they followed the cattle home.

RAILWAY ITEMS.

Wabash net earnings for the year
ending June 80 were 1892, 1926, in
crease $742,472.
The annual report of the New Haven
shows an earning power for the $97,-
csc, 400 stock outstanding of very near
ly II per cent.
The Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany reports for the year ended June
80 last net surplus of $10,5S3,164, an
increase of $2,S1l,S50
Earnings of the Atchison, Topeka
e. Santa Fe in the year ended June 80
were equivalent to a shade more than
Is per cent on its outstanding COM
mon stock after the payment of fixed
charges and 5 per cent on the pre-
ferred issues.
The August earnings of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, with their II per
cent increase in gross receipts, and
25 per cent increase in operating ex-
penses, is about in keeping with the
recent reports of this road and with
those of the railroads generally.
The annual report of the Chicago
Great Western system shows that al
though the net earnings of the sys-
tenn for the year ending June 80, 1907,
were somewhat less than those for the
preceding year, yet the system was able
to meet all fixed charges, pay dividends

PEOPLE SHOULD EAT MORE.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-'tA All the fashion
able food fads and foLies of the hour
are in the nature of dprivation,' Sir
James Crichton-Browne, M. D., OBJ
served in his presidential address to the
Sanitary Inspectors Association. ''At
one time the tendency was to stuff, ,
and every new kind of nutriment was
hailed as boon to humanity. Now
site extreme. Aldermen are like laths,
citizens train down for athletic sports,
only duodecimo portions are served at
dinners, even light wines are looked at
askance, while split soda waters are in
vogue. On all hands the cry is that we
eat too much. So fierce in some quar-
tiers is the propaganda of dietetic ascot
icism that, in dread of being suspected
of gluttony, we can onl y indulge
healthy appetite in secret.
1t was curious that this craze should
have come upon US and reached so high
a pitch at a time when we have only
just awakened fully to the ravages of
semi-starvation in our midst, and real
lied the truth that one of the main
causes of such physical and mental de-
generacy as exists among IFS is bad or
insufficient food.
cone very common class of food fads
and follies nowadays was directed to
specific object getting thin. Women,
to look lady like, must be- tall, slim
and fragile, and middle aged men were
risking prematurely the shrunk shanks
of pantaloon.
"In one town lemons were largely
consumed by the factory girls-some
girls eating five or six a day, often
rind and all-in the hope of emaciat- |
ing and etiolating themselves. The de-
bility thus produced was responsible
for indulgence in alcohol and mar
cotics.''
