A Premature CELEBRATION.

Andrew l.. Harris, the farmer gov
ernor of Ohio, was defeated last No
vember for reelection. But in the
opinion Of his neighbors, down in
Preble County. where he makes his
home on one of the most beautiful
farms in Ohio, he didn't mind the
defeat at all compared with the time
Paul Sorg, the tobacco man, outdis-
tanced him in a race for congress.
II wasn't that he wanted to go to
congress so much. There were more
particular reasons that made the de-
feat annoying The first returns that
night Indicated that ANDY" as his
neighbors called him, was elected.
Everybody went over to his house
to celebrate. When still later re-
turns confirmed his election, some
body suggested that they ought to
start big bonfire. As there was
nothing else handy they just tore
down Andy's nice picket fence and
used that for the big celebration. The
loss OF the fence never feazed Andy
a bit-not that night. But gosh all
.hemlocks!" says one of his old neigh
bors, chow sore he was the next
morning when the corrected returns
came in showing that he was licked
after all."-New York Press.

GUARDING q Nail In Jerus.1em,

-. / I.
1t has been asserted that the Holy
Land is in the hands Of Moslems sim
ply because the Christians would quar-.
rel SO over the sacred sites If they
were In possession. II true, this is
not creditable to the feeling which ex-
lists among the sects OF Christendom.
In his recent book, "a Winter Pilgrim
age Rider Haggard tells story Of
the military occupation of Jerusalem
which puts this matter in strong but
unflattering light.
A gentleman In Jerusalem told me
that not long ago he found Turkish
soldier on guard in some part of the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre where
1t was not usual for sentry to be,
and inquired of him why he was
there.
He pointed to. a nail in the wall,
and replied, ut is my duty to watch
that nail.'
Asked why, he explained that the
Latins, or the Greeks, l forget which,
had driven the nail with the view Of
hanging picture; that a rival sect
had furiously objected. saying that it
was all interference with their proper
ty, and wanted to pull out the nail;
that thereupon the Turkish govern
ment had interviewed, and set him to
watch the nail and see that no picture
was hung upon 1t, and that 1t was not
pulled out.
. To allow the picture to be hung
would have been to admit the claims
Of those who drove In the nail. To
allow 1t to be pulled out would have
been to admit the claims of those who
objected to the driving in of the nail.
Therefore the uail must be preserved
and the picture must not be hung;
and, to see that this was SO, an armed
sentry must watch day and night. For
aught l know he may be watching

MY BOYS WHISTLE.

You may talk of the pleasure that opera
And the thrills so ecstatic it grandly
awakes,
But there is no music to give me joy
Like the light-hearted whistle of my
bonnie boy.
1t isn't a tune. but tumble galore
Of all the notes in the musical score,
And while to another it's nothing but
noise
To me It conveys a hearts volume Of joys.
Many timesSin the day / am strainins my
ear
At the door or the window that whistle to
hear,
And when from the distance comes float
Ing the sound.
know that my boy on his homeway is
bound.
1t tells me he's well long before he's In
sight;
1t says he is happy with childhood's de
light;
Then, as it grows louder and nearer, 1
! j.
My bonnie brave boy wave welcome to
me.
When he whistles while marching SO gaily
from school
I know he has missed neither lesson nor
rule,
And, when from his play he comes whist
ling along,
am sure not thing he has done that is
wrong.
Whenever that blithe, merry. Whistle Is
/ know that my darling is certainly ILL.,,
And none but mothers 50 joyful as
when
His lips sweetly pucker to whistle again.
Some day when the cares of the world he
must share, j
When his heart is no longer as light as
the air,
His happy-go-lucky shrill whistle no more
Will gladden. my ears while watch
from the door.
But I pray that the time may be long
until then,
And that when he marches through life
with the men
He ever will give his dear mother the
Joy
She had when he whistled the tunes of a
boy.

The somewhat intoxicated gentleman

over again he stopped, fixed his eye
carefully on the door in question, ran
his eye solemnly along the distance IN

more lacking from side to side, like a

sit now seems clear that the present
outbreak had its origin near Detroit,.s
said the Secretary In an appeal to the
House for an emergency appropriation
of 5000 to fight the disease, and,
that the infection In the other States
came through that source. With the
combined efforts of State and federal
authorities, there is every, reason to
believe that the disease will be Grads
Gated within reasonable time. AZ
AS the foot and mouth disease L.
strictly a contagious disease Mf,d has
not been known to exist In the United;
States since 1908 until the present out,
break, 1t Is believed that the injection
was introduced into this country In
some manner from abroad, though just
how the department is not able to de-
termine. In view Of our strict quaran-
tine on imported animals, 1t does not
seem possible that It could have been
brought in with live animals .
