OBSERVATIONS

tain by tapping an artery. He who
has been IN attendance upon many q
patient and watched the afflicted go
out of the unknown without the least
feeling and pronounced the once AMI
mate form as so much nothingness.
The peculiar temperament Of such
must be that he fears death and the
grave holds for him only terror.
The president may have been right
in his declaration that the boy
brought up on the farm would be
wise to remain there. The subject
has been threshed until it has be-
come threadbare. II young man
reared ON the farm thinks he can
do better in the city he should by
all means give it a trial. 1t is all
pretty much on a par with the city
man who wishes he were in the coun-
try and vice versa. 1t is all tempera-
mental.
Senator Guggenheim, upon his land
ing in New York from Europe, was
gleeful over the prospect that six
teen-cent copper would be one Of the
good things Of the near future. Those
who generally fix the price Of COM
modify must know the true inward
ness of the condition of the market.
Higher prices most often mean good
demand and a scarcity OF the article
in question. Then again the market
may be favorable as to these and
still high prices due to manipulation.
The speculator should be wary ere
he coppers the market on mere
say-so. But not to be too niggardly
that the senator means well and that
the copper industry may realize on
his predictions.
A young man was sent out to pro-
cure a marriage license for his sis
ter. He thought the document lost.
Later it was found in the lining Of
his coat due to a torn pocket. The
young man should have been the
one who was to be married. He need
ed a wife to keep his garments in
order.
The asclepias veigipellata is some
thing of which cattle and sheep men
should steer clear. 1t is poisonous
and has milkweed characteristics, and
is found principally along the banks
of irrigating bitches. If this particu-
lar growth is unknown, the best thing
would be to turn all weeds with the
plow, or, better, burn the growths
along the water courses, this will be
sure preventative of its spread.
The president will probably realize
that many temptations were thrown
in his way. He should not feel badly
over this. 1t is part Of the great Of
flee that he prove wiser than the
average and be above petty foolish
ness of these who would not hesitate
to see him make mistakes in the
hope of his undoing.
Inconsistency is peculiarity of
human nature seemingly very hard
to explain to the one thus affected.
To illustrate, one must have an in
