BEYOND THE DAWN.

j will take back the life ! knew,
The old life that | knew of yore,
And seek beyond the skyline blue
The old romance, the wonder-shore.
j have forgotten il too long.
The evening darkens down the street
The puny pale-faced peoples throng
The reeking squares with foolish feet.
In the deep skies Of mine own land
The quenchless moons of magic rise;
Empearled the fairy turrets stand.
Whose vision lured my boyish eyes.
Their cressets flare across the night
That lowers upon the foreign main;
But all the halls shall burst in light
When /, their lord, come home AGAIN.
j will 60 back TO yesterday;
The old adventure is the best;
And down the unforgotten way
Ride on the still unfinished quest.
BY druid wood and haunted mere.
On goblin moor and mountainside
Sparkling like stars go crest and spear,
In Ginning mail the warriors ride.
Above the roads like fame and flower
The knightly pennons fiutter free;
And IN some giant-guarded tower
A prlsoned princess waits for me.
The daylight dies in fog and rain,
The grimy streets dissolve in gray:
All, how the city throbs with pain
How far 1t is TO yesterday!

As S5vages See Us.

The secretary to the Katikiro OF
Uganda in his book "Uganda's Katiki-
TO in England" tells how the dancing
OF English people impressed him, and
his opinion is certainly not fattering.
'On this day" he says, 81 saw how
the Europeans dance TO the piano, a
thing which they like doing very much.
When they dance they jump up and
down and twist around, men and
women holding on TO each other in
pairs; for my part | preferred the
music to the dancing, which | thought
was a shameful thing for men and
women TO dance thus together. They
danced in many different kinds OF
ways, a different way for each tune

How to Kill Roadside Weeds.

? Wees growing along country
roads may do much damage. for the
weeds of farms are caused in part by
roadside weeds that have been al
lowed 10 so TO seed. Many States
have laws dealing with the extermin-
alton of weeds along the roadside.
and the Manual OF the Iowa Highway
Commission gives methods OF de-
stroying various weeds. In that State
and the squirrel-tail grass is becom-
Ing very abundant. Says writer In
engineering Contracting:
THE sQuirrel-tail grass is an an
nual or winter annual. appearing
abundantly in the fall. To prevent
its seeding in the meadow, grass
should be cut early. In this way blue
it will not be necessary to plow up
the roadside II the grass is cut in this
way for n few years.
THE mustards may be extermin-
ated by treatment with copper-sul-
phate solution. This Is made by the
use OF one pound OF copper sulphate
to four gallons OF water: fifty gal
ions should be used to the acre.
The horse nettle as we'll as the
thistles are perennials and hence IL
Is more difficult to exterminate them.
The following method of extermin-
alton of the Canada thistle may be
applied to this class of weeds:
THE only method OF treatment Is
TO cut down and remove all OF the
roots as far as It is possible to. do so.

row and remove the thistle: either
bern the material or put into COM
post-heaps. This should be done five
or six times during the season as oo-
casion may require.
"The best mode OF exterminating
the horse nettle is TO smother the
plants. This is probably the most eff
fective and least expensive method OF
removing this plant. For this pur.
pose clover is the most suitable plant.
The soil should be narrowed or culti'

weed is to root It out by hand, and

Washington, June 29.-There is a
possibility that United States troops
may be called on to arrest any of the
Mexican revolutionistS who may cross
the border in the effort to escape from
the Mexican authorities. 1t cannot be
learned that any actual orders to this
effect have been given, but the otfi-
Gals having to do with the matter say
that every step possible is being taken
to see that the neutrality laws shall
be enforced. Several military posts
are III proximity to the border of
Texts touching the state of Delrio
where the Mexican revolutionists seem
to be doing the most of their work
and troops may be made ready for
any service required of them. They
include the men at Fort Sam Houston,
Fort Bliss and Fort Clarke. Senior
Goder, the Mexican charge at Wash
ington today had another talk with
Acting Secretary Adee of the state de-
partment at which the situation was
discussed.
Mexico and the United States have
an agreement whereby the troops of
either country may cross the boundary
of the other in pursuit of hostile In
dianS ana this may serve as the basis
for any steps that might be taken in
assisting Mexico to capture the revo-
lutioniSts
