A coon COUNTRY 70 INVEST IN.

Jay Gould used to be bull on his
country, and he made lot of money
out of his optimism. 1t is still safe to
be a bull on the United States, and
it is interesting to notice that so
shrewd and competent an authority as
the London statist thinks so. 1t is be-
lieved by this authority that the war
waste is about over, that European
capital available for investment is ap-
probably increasing, and that this,
coupled with newly discovered will
ingness on the part of the railroad
franciers of the United States to pay
the higher interest rate the change In
condition demands, will make an inflow
Of capital to this country which will
restore the old condition when nearly
one-half the capital employed by rail-
roads was derived from foreign sources.
We are convinced, says the Statist,
that American railroad companies are
in very healthy and strong condi-
ton, and that capital supplied to them
would be fully secured, and that Meth
er the federal government nor the
State authorities would consciously
pass any act that would endanger the
capital invested in them. And it closes
its article with the prediction that
European investors may once more

The Village Angler.

Under a spreading sycamore
The village angler stands.
A tough and sturdy boy Is he,
With soiled and sunburnt hands,
And the imprints Of his unshod feet
Are all along the sands.
He goes on Sunday to the stream,
Although Of course that's wrong,
Wheneer a bullhead takes his hook
tTe yanks 1t, hard and strong.
And II he doesn't get bite
He huns cheerful song,
Loaf1ng, fishing, pleasuring,
So through the week he goes;
Each morning secs him at the creek,
Whose f1shin' holes he knows.
Each evening sees him trotting home
To seek a nights repose.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my patient kid
The lesson thou hast taught
Thus, at the fishing grounds of life,
Our sinners must be sought,
We waste ouf days and lie about
The fish we haven't caught.

Mr. Bryans change of base In re-

anything infallible in any Of the signs

Farm work For Women.
lThe IndianapoIIs star. }


For various reasons, one Of which is
that farmers wives and daughters have
the work they can do in the house
vest time, it is not likely that
women will ever do much outside farm
labor except in emergency. At the
same time 1t must be said that the old
arguments against it will not hold. 1t
is no heavier than work at the wash
tub or the ironing board, and is far
more healthful than bending over the
sewing machine day In and day out
Yet these occupation are regarded as
strictly feminine and no protest is ever
raised against them save by women
themselves now and then. The eyer
tion Is no greater than Is called for by
gardening, which is constantly being
recommended to women by physicians
as means Of building up their health
nor does 1t call for greater physical ex-
ertion than golf, or make them more
weatherbcaten. Though women are
not likely to engage in such work ex-
tensively 1t Is not worth while to lift
the hands In horror at the thought OF
their doing so.

STILL K0R1K LYING

To-day is the last day of July. II
has been a fair month for corn and
fair month for human beings. 1t has
been good month for the Connecticut
legislature to adjourn in, but the leg
islature hasn't been able to perceive it's
quality in that respect. So 1t is still
hanging on 1t is now believed that
the legislature will adjourn next
month, just as it used to be believed
that last Winter would be over next
month" Winter was finally over, and
we have faith to believe that the leg
islature viii be. So we can be en-
couraged, even If the legislature adj
journs with the prospect Of an extra
session. This is queer year. We
have had two kinds Of Summers-reg-
ular and Indian-and we may have
two kinds Of legislative sessions-one
extra and one nothing extra.
But whatever the Legislature does or
does not do, let us persist. Life would
be good in Connecticut, even with the
Legislature in session all the time, and
with every wind from Hartford bring
ing to our ears the clash of resound-
ing and vituperatlve words.
