We stand beside the road and wait,
Expcctant for a sign,
Till round the distant bend they come,
A proud though faltering line.
We linger in the wayside grass,
Drenched with the early dew,
To watch the closing of the march,
The start we never knew.
And so, mid bent and halting forms,
Midst battle-flags of yore,
We catch no vision of the lads
Who went-and came no more.
These that we see are aged men,
Not strong and debonair,
As when they pressed to bloody fields
And left their boybod there.
We young review with careless eyes
A great and moving sight;
Within our souls their bugle wakes
An echo all too light.
All, we should come with prayerful mien,
With hushcd and reverent feet
They strewed the blossoms of their you'll
To make our Maytime sweet.

For Our Dead.

Flowers for our dead!
The delicate wild roses family red;
The valley lily bells as purely white
As shines their honor in the verual light !;
All blooms that be
As fragrant as their fadeless memory!
BY tender hands entwined and garlanded,
Flowers for Our Dead!.
Praise for our deadl
For those that followed, and for those that
led,
Whether they felt Deaths burning ac-
colade
When brothers drew the fatricidal blade,
Or closed undaunted eyes
Beneath the Cuban or Philippine skies,
While waves our brave bright banner over
head
Praise for Our Deadi

The Profitable Brood Sow.

For fall pigs breed the SOW In
April or May. Early pigs bring the
best prices Breeding stock should
not be fat, but should be in thrifty
condition. II the SOW is thin and
poor the litter will be disappoint-
mcnt. Such pigs will prove hard
feeders and slow to make profit. The
period Of CESSATION is normally 115
days, but frequently less. 1t is
good rule to expect the young in a
week less than four months. Choose
thoroughbred boar IL one Is obtain
able. Do not let yourself be beguiled
into the belief that scrub or q grade
is Of anything of like as great value.
Choose good stock every time, and
you will invariably have better pigs
and better prices for them. Expert
enced swine raisers think nothing of
carrying SOW ten or fifteen miles to
choice male. The second day OF
heat is better than the first. The
period of heat lasts three days. After
single service the SOW should be re-
moved at once. and kept alone for
two days, where she cannot even hear
other swine.
When driving a distance, see that
the SOW has comfortable led in the
wagon and is not hungry. Small
ropes may be tied to her forward
feet and passed through holes in the
bottom of the wagon body to keep her
from making trouble and requiring a
rack. In severe cold weather she
should have blanket thrown over
her. At the end Of twenty-one days

 The resolution reads as follows:
 Whereas, the great scarcity or live cattle, attributed to financial conditions, is depriving greater portion of the people of a sufficient supply of meat; and
 Whereas, our national government exacts a tariff on live stock. shut ting out our outside sources or supply; therefore, be 1t

BUILDING LINE MATTER
No AclIou Taken in the City
 Court To-Day.

In order to hasten settlement Of the dispute between F. H Humphrey and the city over the building line on Central avenue and West Main street there was no action taken against MT Humphrey in the city court to- day on the case charging him with violating the building ordinances. There are two avenues toward settle- ment of the matter, one of which will be adopted as soon as possible in or der to settle the dispute. MT Hum phrey can obtain writ of manda- mus against the city. This action would compel Building Inspector Chatfield to grant him permit to proceed with his building, but 1t would also be a violation of the building ordinance as they stand. In homely phrase the city would be com- pelled to bite a bit off it's own nose.
 The other avenue of settlement is for the city to secure an injunction against MT Humphrey which would suspend his building operations until it would be dissolved. This course of procedure would, in the vernacular of the day, put it up to- MT Hum- phrey to have the injunction tried out with all possible haste. The de. cision, no matter waht it would be, would in all probability be appealed from to the supreme court which trib unal would give judgment that would settle the question of building lines for all time
