The Recorder Mans Dream.

The last issue OF the Recorder con-
tains the recital of a dream the edi-
tor is supposed to have had. 1t is
a rather bright piece of writing, ven
if it does border on the sacriligious.
TO those who know the parties men
toned it is especially interesting, and
for that reason it is given. Here i
is:
You have heard no doubt the
story of the dream of the fellow who
died and went to Heaven, and his
description of the beautiful paradise
was beyond the power of nan to
conceive. The grandeur that burst
upon his vision as he passed the por-
tails of the eternal city was sublime,
and the music of the angels singing
surpassed all understanding.
The streets of gold leading up
from the gates of pearl to the man
sions not made by hands wherein
dwells the Savior of man, who bids
you come and share eternity with
him, are ah! how beautiful.

Pntatn Is King.


Each fall, for two weeks, the pub
lie schools Of Almond, Wisconsin,
are closed that children may go
out on the surrounding farms and
help gather the tubers. Efforts have
been made on several occasions to
yidetrack this vacation, but it al
ways succeeds in keeping on the
main line. Teachers dislike to give
up work and go home after working
a month, or stay around for two
weeks just waiting. The only help
we can see for them is to don their
piamas and hike away to the fields
and assist in the harvest. A hustler
of a teacher could earn a dollar a
day and moard to say nothing of
the exercise and botany lessons he
would gain. Anyhow the parents of
the Almond children, by a vote Of
43 to 81 say that we shall have such
a vacation and it is at hand.
When the potato was struggling
against prejudice in the attempt to
introduce it into Europe, it is said
that Louis XIV wore a potato bios
SONS in his buttonhole, and had po-
totoes on his table as a rare deli
cacy. We are not told whether the
botanical name for the potato (sol-
anum tubersom) was derived from
the kings fancy for the flower. Be
sides Ireland there are parts OF
France and Germany where the
people virtually live upon potatoes;
and in a certain town of the
Hartz mountains a statue has been
erected to Raleigh representing the
great Observation-Disclosures with a
potato plant in his right hand.

Half and Half Music.

 But what was wrong?'' exclaimed the leader in surprise. We played good music and we played 1t well. too.''
 "I know you did, said the proprietor. That is what I am complaining about. You played it too well. All the people got so wrapped up in the music that they forgot to order refreshments.

The Rolling Years.

The Bohemian: Our beautious
heroine had seen nineteen summers
when the gallant young naval Off
Ger, whom she had promised to mar
ry, sailed away in the cruiser Kala-
mazoo. Years rolled on. Nothing
was heard from the ship. Our hero
inc grew pensive. Years rolled on
again, and still no news. Our hero
inc wept. Once more years rolled
on, till quite unexpectedly the Kala-
mazoo returned froN the Antarctic
ice fields, and the long separated
pair were reunited. How old was
she?
Answer: Having been born in
June, she was only eighteen years
and small fraction of age when our
story opens. Each time the years
rolled on they amounted to one and
one-three hundred and sixty-fifths
years, and as they rolled four times
the total rolling was four years and
four days, which would make our
heroine, at the time of the happy
fms, twenty-five years old.-From

HER NEWSPAPER DAD.
He Isn't Always Cross; Sometimes He
Is Positively Jubilant,

Is Positively Jubilant.
Newspaper daddies are funny,
think. Mines one. He's funniest at
breakfast. only it isn't breakfast,
cause it's lunch. and that's another
funny thing about it,
where's 'smornin's paper?" he asks
mamma the first thing when he comes
downstairs. And then when she looks
sort of childishly at him cause he's q
little gruff he hurries up and says,
Good morning. everybody" just as
though he felt kinda 'shamed of him
self.
And then he won't talk when he gets
his old paper. He just sticks his nose
into it and looks at one page after an
other just as fast as he can, and then
he begins all over again and does it
slower and keeps still for quite awhile.
Then mamma and I wait TO. an ex-
plosion.
"Ijitsw he says. ''They couldn't spell
cat right"
Then he goes chasing from one page
to another as fast as ever he can, talk
ing to himself, and when he's got real
mad he shouts at mamma: 'They
buried 1t! See They buried it back
there-way back there, Of course, and
it's the best story in the paper!'
Then mamma says, quiet, like calm
after a storm, "Come, dear, your cof-
fee I'll get cold.''
But he's more like bear than
dear, and he doesn't come, but he
keeps on growing at the old paper. I
guess he finally gets tired Of himself,
too, and then he jumps up, throws the
| paper on the chair and tries to dodge
mammals funny smile.
Mammals awfully patient, l think,
and she never gets mad, but just smiles
and smiles at daddy when he gets cross
at things. Sometimes she asks him
why he wants to keep on being a news
paper man if it's SO awful. One time
he answered and said it was because
if he kept on working sixteen hours a
day maybe the Office would some time
give him as much as the stereotyper
gets for working eight hours a day.
Mamma said that was sarcasm. guess
he thinks sarcasm must be good thing
for the Office, cause he most always
talks that way about it.
But newspaper daddies aren't always
cross. Sometimes mine hurries down
stairs whole lot earlier, and then
when he grabs the paper he smiles all
over and shouts at mamma:
"See that story? That's a clean scoop
and a bully one! That's worth living
for! And, say, won't the fellows or
the old Bugle feel sore, though!

is the title of an editorial showing
that the lawlessness and disregard
Of law-enforcement evidenced in the
tobacco war, the Sunday closing
trials, and other matters now before
the public, indicate danger more
to be feared than the anarchy over
which there is SO much hysteria. In
the series, "Our Colonel Empire"
Colonel Willard French points out
that Hawaii, Our Forgotten Key to
the Pacific Ocean, needs protecting
and fortifying for the best interests
of the United States as well as its
own advantage. A reassuring arti-
Gle to many will be that by Elias
Tobenkin, entitled Anarchists and
Immigrants in America. He asserts
that anarchy is on the decline in
this country and claims that what
we have is fostered by the newspaper
and police advertising.

that we considered $500 a very respect

McCutcheon on Baseball.

John T. McCutcheon, cartoonist
and correspondent, has recognized
the opening of the baseball season
and in the May Appelton's writes a
characteristic article on the lights
and shadows of the American Game,
illustrated with a dozen of his own
cartoons. He calls attention, among
other things, to the amazing increase
of the death rate of grandmothers of
Office boys, coincident with the open
ing of the season.
