L'ENVOI:

Deep in your soul the ashes of a dream
The joy you crave-a longing for that life
Which some have lived beside the woodland stream.
Along the path that is not by strife!
Sometimes your heart is Weakened to its wish;
Sometimes you wonder If your fate is just;
You long to play, to romp, read, or fish
You want to rise above the gloom and dust
You want to live Nature has designed;
You want to be that child your heart implies
But In that vague conception of your mind
The sweets which not poisoned but lies,
And sO-you die. You never know that God
Has made a world of wealth and joy and light,
Which others claim, though you in darkness plod
Your weary way amid the ghosts of night!
You never the music of the bird,
You breathe the spirit of the flower,
No astral gleam that sleeping soul has stirred
As in the Stag and solitude you cover!
You never guess the splendors of the sea,
You never learn the wonders of the wood.
1t Is for yOu,- the willing slave TO be,
Nor know that God is merciful and gOodi
You cannot know the magic of art,
You cannot mark the progress Of a soul
No golden love creep into your heart
No faith knowledge your life control;
But hour by hour and day by day you sit
A living part Of that accurst machine
And count the shadows which across you fit,
And moments by the space betwee1
Your great, wide eyes look out upon the W ort
And all about is miserble and drear-
What ought to be has been unfurled
What might have been cannot to you appear.
A thousand tongues crying to my soul;
A thousand eyes piercing through my braIu-
am but whom the stone must roll
Am to answer for an infants pain?
Am to blnmo that in the moII of greed
child should yield its spirit to the kuavef
Am to pay for little hearts that bleed?
Am to solve the problem of the slave?
/ cannot say. But of us, ALL
Must heed the silent pleadings of that life,
And of must to the
OF babes that fall and perish in the strifei
That pinched white face is turned upon hearts;
Those wild, wet eyes are watching for our aidt
And every hour that awful Truth Imparts
That we must MEND the System we have made!

WHEAT FROM
CANYON $1.O6
Grain From The Panhandle
Rated The Finest Ever
Brought 10 Fl. Worth

Panhandle wheat which caused a
sensation among Fort Worth grain
dealers Wednesday and brought the
fancy figure of s1.O6 per bushel is
told OF as follows by the Fort Worth
Record:
Chased as the best grain market
ed in Fort Worth in many years, and
declared the equal Of the product Of
any wheat belt in America, car Of
upper Panhandle wheat from Can
yon City, was bought Wednesday by
the Medlln Milling company for the
fancy figure of $1O6 per bushel de-
livered. The wheat was graded as
No. l hard and dry, weighing 60
pounds to the bushel, an extra good
showing. 1t was OF thin brand,
almost perfect berries, and in the
cream OF condition.
ut is the best wheat have seen
in Fort Worth in several years
doubtless the best | have ever seem
declared f. NJ. Rogers, president of
the Board Of Trade and manager OF
the Medlin mills owing to its fine
quality we were glad to buy it, even
at the $1O6 figure, which is several
hundred points above the highest
prevailing market price.
Wonderful Country.
Coming from the far upper Pan
handle regions, 1t proves that that
section of Texas has a great future
as a grain producing locality. 1t Is
by far the best car ever brought to
Fort Worth from the Panhandle, and
prospects are that it will not be the
last high grade grain brought here
from that wonderful country
~. T. Robinson, chief inspector OF
the Board of Trade grain bureau,
who has seen service all over the
country, and is recognized as an ex-
pert in grading, says that the wheat
from Canyon City equals any that he
ever inspected. 1t would pass mus
ter on any market as exceptionally
fine, he says.
The Panhandle grain movement
is now on in full blast, many cars
being shipped out daily. The entire
output is gaining favor on the diff
ferent markets as an exceptionally
fine product, and is attracting great
attention to the Panhandle as a
wheat belt with a wonderful future"

LOG ROLLINGS MAY

Officers Of the new Panhandle Log
Rollers Association state that al
though the camps OF the association
will be given an invitation to meet
in Amarillo for the big log rolling
and celebration on July 4, 1909,
there is no certainty that the log
rolling will be held here, as the con-
stitution for the organization which
Is now being formed and the reso-
buttons which have been adopted do
not stipulate the place of meeting.
The place for the annual celebrations
of the order will be left to the board
of managers which will be consti-

Panhandle Wednesday, of one repre-
sentative from each camp which be-

fine FRUIT
GROWN HERE
Garden Of 7. F. Turner at 10Th
and Taylor Street Shows
Abundant Yield
(From Saturdays DaIly)

Fruit growing in the Panhandle
Is not a mythical production OF the
land agents boosting and, II there is
doubt in the mind of anyone as to
the fruit growing possibilities OF this
country, this doubt may be quickly
and effectively dispelled by visit to
the garden OF r. f, Turner on the
corner OF 10th and Taylor streets,
The biggest fruit yield OF the gar
den was that OF some half dozen
cherry trees OF the Murlllo variety.
These trees are four years old and
extreme height Is about six feet.
Some weeks ago they were loaded to
the ground with luscious fruit and
presented a sight that would de-
light the eye OF a California fruit
grower Every tree was a verltable
mass Of fruit, many branches even
resting on the ground because OF the
great weight OF fruit.
Some three year old grapevines are
producing their first yield this season
an dthere is promise OF an abundant
vintage OF excellent fruit, A five
year old plum tree has every branch
loaded with exceptionally large and
fine looking fruit--one branch ten
inches long having twenty-seven
specimens on 1t, The tree is, in fact,
overloaded to such a degree as to re-
tard proper growth,
The peach crop is very fair but the
trees planted are not Of the sort suit
ed to this climate. Dewberries just
ripening are almost phenomenal In
size and excellence OF flavor,
1T is work not water, that is re-
CURED to grow fruit here" said Dr.
Lockett, who resides with Mr.. Tur-
ner and who takes keen interest in
fruit culture. I'VE keep our soil
constantly mellowed; as soon "a
a crust forms We break II. II this
is done, every variety OF fruit will
grow here with an abundance sup
posed to exist only in California and
other fruit producing states. We
find that by keeping our trees well
pruned we get best results from
them. This applies to our shade
trees as well as the fruit trees.
"I have never seen anything like
abundance OF fruit that our cherry
trees yielded" continued DR.. Lock-
EFT. Il have lived in some of the
finest fruit growing sections but
have never seen anything to COM
part with this. Fruit farming In
this country is neglected because the
people are not familiar with the
great possibilities of the industry.
When they learn what may be ac-
complished and have gained definite
knowledge OF the varieties that are
adapted to conditions here, fruit
growing will become popular and
profitable vocation"

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.

The firm which does not permit It's

opportunities, but holds up prices
above market values. Judicious cuts
stimulate trade, and promote good
service; while tho business PROPOSE
tions which are bound by an iron clad
scale OF prices, fettor the operations
Of its agent, This, however, does
not sanction indiscriminate slashing
and cutting OF the selling quotations,
Nor does 1t allow the chopplng to be
done regularly by the man who sells
the goods. Such an expedient would
breed prejudice instead OF trade.
The salesman who goes out with
q line OF samples knowing that he Is
being under-sold by his competitor, is
licked before he makes the first
call. His employer, OF course, Ia re-
sponsible for his failure to make good
under those conditions, and while HIS
firm has lost money on the trip, he
has lost what is worth more than
money,-reputation. The manage
msnts OF business houses are rarely
slow these days to see where DE
price can be shaved to meet the other
fellows.
