In Rainbow Pursuit.

1t does beat all how the western
people are always courting the
hallucinations of discomfort. From
now until the snow flies thousands
of dissatisfied men in Colorado
will be pulling up stakes and hik-
ing out for green fields and pas
lures new. A fellow of this kind
never knows when he is well off.
He parts with his farm and live
stock and moves to Oklahoma.
Then he takes his good money and
buys farm which today is and
tomorrow is not, because the wind
has blown it away. Then he
hears of Texas and goes down
there among the chiggers to hunt
bag of gold at the end of the
rainbow. In the day time he
scratches sandburs out of his flesh
and at night centipedes crawl over
his lace. w hen his money is all
gone he begins to feel like the first
night he ever stayed away from
home. He yearns for good old
Colorado and the yearn sticks in
his throat and chokes him until
tears come into his eyes. He
would give a months work to see
the water running down the ditch
on his old ranch. A man of this
sort is the prince of misfortune
and whose hindsight is better than
his foresight and who is always
coming out of a dream after it is
too Field & Farm.

THE OLD LOVE SONG.

l II l. OLD l4ON T. OoN0. Play it slowly, sing it lowly, Old familiar tunel Once it ran in dance and dimple Like q brook in June; Now it sobs along the measures With a sound of tears; Dear old voices echo through it-- Vanished with the years. Ripple, ripple goes the love song, Till, in slowing time, Early sweetness grows completeness, Floods it's every rhyme. Who together learn the music Life and death unfold, Know that love is but beginning Until love is old. Play it slowly, it is holy As an evening hymn: Morning gladness, hushed to sadness, Fills it to the brim. Memories home within the music, Stealing through the bars Thoughts, within it's quiet spaces, Rise and set like stars.

 A deaf old gentleman dined with q family where grace was always said. When the guests were seated the host bowed his head and began to repeat the accustomed verse in a suboued leverent voice.
 "Eh? Whats that?" demanded the deaf old man, who sat beside him.
 The host smiled patiently and began again, in louder, more deprecatory voice.
 ''Speak little louder: don't catch what you say" the old gentleman per sisted.
 A low ripple of laughter went round the table. The host, his face crimson with embarrassment. raised his voice and repeated the verse. The deat gentleman did his best to hear. but failed. He placed one hand upon his hosts arm.
 What did you say?" he demanded, irlsciby.
 The host cast him an angry glance.

RorE FROM NEK JERSEY

New Jersey has done much to en- courage other States to emulation of 1t. Its justice is celebrated, its roads are good, and 1t has shown how money can be made out of the despised, but not rejected, corporation. But perhaps It's most striking example is its success in dealing with the huge and busy mosquito pest for which it has long been famous. It is announced that a few thousand dollars spent in the ditchlng of the Newark meadows have almost eradicated the mosquito in that region. Now the warfare against the mosquito, so we'll begun in Newark, is to be renewed by Professor John B. Smith, State entomologist. The meadow lands in Jersey City along the Hacken- sack meadows are already under con- tract. In other sections of the State the pest will be attacked, too.
 Success to the entomologist and his co-workers. Success to all entomolo- gists and co-workers who are fighting insect pests. And special success to the entomologists and coworkers who will finally attack the mosquitoes that infest and pest our own attractive East Shore.
