NATURE FAKES ON THE FARM

NATURE FAKES ON THE FARM.
When a boy I used to dwell"
So the story goes, they tell;
Down among the buzzy bees,
Meath the shade of old oak trees,
Where the bindings all day long
Serenaded with their song
And that's going pretty strong!
There I spent life's golden hours
Working hard-for me no flowers
Ever scented up my cup
With a single off-day sup
All I did was toll for fair
Never reached the "old armchair
Father always peat me there.
ION our little cabin door,
Hung a dirty towel, and DER
Trailed the spiders webs-not vines.
Mothers songs (between the lines)
Was to do some kind of chore,
P. d. O., then do some more
Happy dayst'-fs dopey lorei =
Cutting loose from all
Breaking up the allure trance,
Is, to state the facts, the farm
Never held a whit of charm;
And we boys" who toiled from break
OF dawn till dark now take
Time to brand 1.-THE farm" a fake
A very dreamy nature

1From the Atchison Globe.1

Do so we'll today that you need not
long for tomorrow.
''She's pretty" an Atchison young
man says of a certain girl, but smell

Some people claim a lot of credit
for not roaring with pain when a pin
sticks them.
History is to the effect thai mems
sins always find them OUT; but men
continue to bet hat they won't.
You may be invited to ride to the
polls in a hack, but you can bet you
will not be invited to ride home.
When a man moves to a strange
town, how dc the people there know
he is to be called Judge" or Colo
nel?"
If q man felt sentimental enough to
want to hold his wife's hand, he could
never find it when it didn't have a
broom. the frying pan or the baby's
bottle in Ii.
When a hard and steady working
man puts on his Sunday clothes, he
looks as if he were looking for a
chance to sneak out of them n get
back to work.
We men are a wonderful lot, of
course, but the statistics of life in
companies show that thirty
out of forty of US are buried at some

There is a time in the life of a fe-
male baby when you are not expected
to take off your hat to it in the streets.
At what age does the child expect it:
AT ten, fourteen, or sixteen?
We are always hearing that this or
thai man will in time come out all
right, and that he would be all right
if he had a chance; but the great de-
mand of the hour is for men who
amount to something NOW, whether
they have a chance or not.
Mother and daughter carried a
stairs: on a second trip they took up
a lounge with one leg off and the
springs broken. and on the third trip
they carried a collection of enlarged
pictures OF kin. What were they go
ing to do with them? Why, they were
engaged in making a Den for Father.

The Future of the Pacific.

1t is generally conceded, I believe.
by the best and most farsfghted minds.
that the greatest world rad of the
future is to be across the Pacific. For
centuries trade centered in the Medi-
terranean, with the result that the
largest and most important cities OF
that time were formed on the shores
of southern Europe and northern
Africa. The discovery of America,
then a wilderness, centered tradel later
in the Atlantic, and the most impor-
tant cities of the world then grew up
on the shores of western Europe and
eastern America. So the cities of the
Pacific coast of America in time will
probably be in proportion to the trade
an ocean, other things being equal, is
in proportion to the number of people
who live along it's borders.
Today the Pacific coast of the United
people as live along the Atlantic sea-
board; yet the shores of the Pacific are
many times richer in natural
than are those of the Atlantic. There
sterile hills of New England and the
garden valleys of Washington. Oregon
and California. California alone Is,
broadly speaking, two-thirds the size
of France. and is easily capable of sup
porting 2 O.OOO.O 900 people. Franc sup
ports 40,000,000. Along the lower half
of the western seacoast, for hundreds
of miles, there is but n world harbOr
San Francisco. This fact alone IN
sures to the Golden Gate a city as
large as Paris, or even larger. 1t may
be San Francisco, or Oakland, or n
other point on the great bay; in a large
sense it matters not what the local
point or name is, or will be. The i'm
portant fact is that at the Golden Gate
there is to be an American city of from
two to five million people. The growth
of this city-or of any of the other
cities on the Pacific coast-will not be
udden, but it will be in exact proper
ton to the pressure Of population in
American, the awakening of Asia-as
Japan has awakened-and the de-
velopment of other Pacific shores
