THE BoASTER.

I'm not a boaster in the
That l am proud of what l do;
1 never brag of the expense
When l appear in garments new.
In humbleness l take my way,
But searching east and seeking west
OF all the babes on earth to lay,
I'm sure that mine is far the best
A million little ones or more,
There are today from sea to sea;
That play upon the parlor floor
Or hobby horse on daddy's knee.
A million little ones at night
In mothers loving arms may rest;
But this l know, and l am right,
OF all, my baby is the best.
I'm not a braggart of my worth,
never boast of common things;
I do not wish to share the earth,
Or WELD the mighty power OF kings
Pm happier by far than they,
I'm prouder, too, for am blest;
1t is not Boosting when l say
BY baby, bless him, is the best.

LARAMIE PREACHERS TREE
PLANTING IN KANSAS.

In 1880 Rev. A. c. Hogbin bought a
quarter section Of land six miles south.
west of Seneca. That year he planted
nineteen acres Of catalpa trees and To-
Gusts. For twenty-five years the tim,
Der did well, and one of the prettiesl
groves in this part Of the country was
on that farm. The past year the farm
was sold, which in turn was bought
by Karl Schmidt, who paid an al
vance of 81, 900 over the price for which
Hogbin sold. He put choppers in the
grove and has cut Is 1000 trees. The
timber is straight and is worked up in
to fence posts, telephone poles and
stacks and stacks of cord and stove
wood. The price paid at the Seneca
planning mill for locust is, We under
stand, 81 per cord. Schmidt has sold
500 telephone poles to the Centrali.t
company, ranging from 18 to 20 feet
in height, 4-inch top, and n lumber
firm there has already taken $4,000
posts. and has spoken for the entire
output. The product from the nineteen
acres of timber culture will go a long
ways toward paying for the farm, and
proved a profitable experiment for the
late purchaser.-Seneca Tribune.

days of the year are always the same.
These rules do not apply to leap years,
when comparison is made between
