The Houston Post tells of an
Oklahoma centenarian who has
been "hoarding money for sew
enty-five years." until now he
has $4,000 in the bank. His
prospective heirs will doubtless
forgive him for the boarding if
he will refrain from trying to

Hadst thou but loved me!
Thy lips seemed most to breathe
The precious truth, / longed to
hear,
And trusting, to believe.
Hadst thou but loved mel
| might have risen to be
A poet, with a bladsome song
OF land, and home, and theel
Oh, hadst thou loved me,
| should have left this round
Of life, which holds me fast,
While mute | sit-uncrowned!
HE.
Oh, how / loved thee!
Thou creature formed for light
And the glory of the world
And I for dismal night.
Oh, how loved thee!
But could not ask thee, sweet,
To give the homage of the world
For me, low at thy feet.
Oh, how | Iove thee,
With my being, breath;
The height and depth of Life,
And hope and fear of Death!

Fertilizer for the South
ern Farmer.
CORRECT IDEA OF FERTILIZER
VALUES LEAD TO INELLI-
GENT USE.

get mayn farmer to understand
the fact that what makes a fer
tilizer valuable is the actual
amount of soluble potash, phos-
phoric acid and nitrogen it con-
tains. When we make the as
sertion that the farmers, as a
general rule, are shamefully ig+
norant as to the ingredients that |
are contained in commercial fer
tilizers, we naturally expect it to
call down the wrath of the far
ternity upon us, but neverthe-
less there is much more truth in
it than would appear before the
subject was thoroughly consid-
cred. In buying fertilizers not
one farmer in ten ever pays any
attention to the analysis as
printed on the bag, but is at
tracted chiefly by the name of
the goods or the brand. Fertil-
izer manufacturers have learned
this and naturally seek to brand
their goods with nigh sounding
or flatterlng names, Whlch Gre

of goods that are not warranted

 Tommy Holderness was a power on that defense line.
 New Haven is slipping and the greased toboggan will need to be well sanded or the slip will become a slump.
 Twenty-one years ago Pierce and Cunningham began to show the polo fans something and they are still do- ing it.
 That Mansfield chap can do the trick nicely and without any footing of horns either, when 1t comes to holding digger" Higgins or hanging on to the little fellows hockey, with out the referee getting wise.
 At one part of the game last night about all the visiting players, with the exception of the goal tender, were in a bunch at the corner of our cage. trying to get the ball behind Cusick. The fans couldn't see where the ball was until the crowd separated.
 We have chance to overtake Pawtucket yet and the chance will be improved if we capture that game in Rhode Island this evening. We can do it if we play as we did last evening. Of course the advantage will be with the home team.
