Cheerful Evening Revories for Tired

FARM POETRY.

MN EDITOR VIII you kindly
give space in your Home Circle
department for a farmers wife to
"speak her piece?' Tc begin
with we all ENJOY your Home
Nest column and find much in it
that is useful as well as interest.
ing, OF late, however, while we
fully agree with most that appears
in this department, we have read
a few items regarding the beauties
OF life on the farm with which we
differ. Where is the poetry OF
farming? Tell me, yc winged
winds" or any one else who can,
for we really ask for information
on the subject. We have heard Of
a person living all his lifetime in
sight of a most beautiful land,
scape, but he never saw the beauty
nor dreamed of such a thing, till
his attention was called to the fact
by another, 1t may be so with us;
we may be living in the very midst
of the poetry and pleasure of rural
life, and our dulled senses fail to
realize the fact. Therefore please,
who can, point us to the bright
way But please don't mention,
among the attractions OF country
life, the woodland dells, where
tiny leaflets clap their merry hands
and all nature smiles in serene
happiness;' nor say anything about
the "pure, fresh country air"
We have a nice grove on our farm,
and often when we run out for an
armful of wood or a pail of water,
We look at the grove and think
how pleasant it would be to sit
there and rest; but the kettle waits
for the water, the fire for the wood,
and hack we go, And when the
work is done, there is the baby
she cannot be left alone, and we
think We prefer rest indoors to an
enjoyment of natures beauties un.
der such circumstances.
As to the "purc, fresh air." we
have breathcd quite as pure air in
cities as that which is waited from
the neighboling pig-yard.
We should never have thought
50 much about this were there not
so much written about the beauty
and poetry of farm life, by those
who know least about it. There
are charming rural retreats, we
know, but charming rural life is
another thing. A party may spend |
a hot summer day in the cool woods |
and be delighted; but let them
pass the same day over the cook
stove or ironing board, or in the
hay field, they will find difference. |
The former is the ideal rural life;
the latter the real.
There are many pleasures in the
farmers life, but plenty of hard
work to destroy all idea of poetry,
and bring one down to very COM
mon prose. Is there poetry in
butcherinG, sausage making, lard
frying2 Is there poetry in hauling
manure? Is there, oh, is there,
poetry in picking potato bugs?

dent OF success A good many
changes will be made in both teams
from the lineup up of last year. The
Pernoll battery will work with Grants
Pass again this year and are stronger
than ever and the fsus may anticipate
some brilliant work from them in
this, the opening game. Medford has
a new pitcher this year in whom they
are building considerable hopes. He.
like the American Athletic Club
pitcher is left-handed aud is expected
to do some good work for his team.
The game is called for 2 80 sharp.
The A. "A. @. teams won aud held
the championship of Southern Ore
gon last year and feel themselves com.
petent to defend that title this year
although great efforts will be made
by the other Southern Oregon team:
to wrest the title from them. A great
deal of enthusiasm is being shown il

has been cool and we'll calculated. He
has spent weeks and months in care
FIJI research and study of city affairs
ana he thus went into the campo Ign
with exceptional resources at his COM
mand. AT rally after rally he has
placed city affairs, as he found them,
before the people. An expert was put
on the street department accounts and
Mr.. Bigelow made the masses familiH r
with the experts findings.
Those who have watched Mr.. Burke
in his numerous municipal campaigns
have EXPRESSED surprise at the manner
in which he has met Mr. Bigelow' S
charges He has ovaded many of the
issues and when he attempted to meet
a charge it was with sledge hammer
logic which the voters evidently did
not relish.
