JUNGLE JOEn sNKRZED.

While campaigning in his home
state, Speaker Cannon was once in
veigled into visiting the public school
of town where he was billed to speak.
In one of the lower grades, an am
bilious teacher called upon youth
full Demosthenes to entertain the dis
tinguished visitor with an exhibition
of amateur oratory. The selection
attempted was Byron's Battle of
Waterloo, and just as the boy reached
the end of the first paragraph, Speaker
Cannon suddenly gave vent to vic.
lent sneeze.
"But, hush bark ~ declaimed
the youngster-"a deep sound strikes
like rising knell Did ye hear it p
The visitors smiled and moment
later the second sneeze-which the
Speaker was vainly trying to hold
back-came with increased violence.
"But, harkl (bawled the boy)-that heavy sound
breaks in once more.
And nearer, clearer, deadlier than before! =.
Arm arm 1t Is the cannon's opening roarP
This was too much, and the laugh
that broke from the party swelled tc
roar when "Uncle Joe" chuckled
"Put up your weapons, children !
won't shoot any more. ."-SneceS'

RoosEvELrs IDEAL OF A BOY.

Ny ideal of boy is one who will
grow up and be able to support him
self and wife and children. To be fit
to be an American citizen he has got
to preserve his self-respect and con-
duct himself so as to wrong no one.
Fathers need the most preaching.
Frequently the mothers who have
had hard lives take the unwise course
in attempting to benefit their daugh-
tiers and sons by bringing them up
free from hard knocks. Next to
hardness of heart the next least desir-
able quality is softness of head, and
the mother or father should not try
to bring up their child in that way.
You don't get the right stuff out of
those children for the next war, or
you don't get decent citizens when
there isn't any war. Bring them up
to work so that they shall recognize
an obstacle is not something to be
overcome. Theodore Roosevelt.

TRAPPING WILD TURKEYS.

In the early days of our country
wild turkeys we're caught in pens.
These were enclosures made of poles
twenty feet long, laid one above the
other, forming solid wall ten feet
high. This was covered with close
roof of poles and brush. A ditch was
dug beginning about fifty feet distant
from the pen, sloping down and car
ried under one side of the pen, open
ing up into it through board with a
hole Just large enough to let turkey
pass. Corn was strewn along the
whole length of the ditch. The tur-
keys followed the ditch and the corn
up through the hole into the pen,
holding their heads too high ever to
find their way out again. Often fifty
captives would be found ir pen at
one time.

FOR
yesterday.
BY EDWIN HIGGINS.

joyful bells are loudly ringing,
Happy birds are sweetly singing,
Greeting the world at early dawn;
Rejoice, rejoice, tits Easter morn.
No more the rod, the thorn, the spear,
The Victor comes, dry Sorrows tear;
Come, every tongue an anthem sing.
Come. every hand an offering bring.
No more, no more the cruel tree,
The awful scenes of Calvary;
The sealed stone Is rolled away.
And Easter skies are bright with day.
The Lord hath risen from the grave,
He comes the SHINING world to save;
Meier can the hand and voice be still,
While streams of iov the bosom thrill.
The fear of death, its dreadful gloom
Once craped the earth from birth to tomb !;
o, Thou who hast heard the ages pray.
Speak to all hearts this Easter-Day.
All the joys which today are Thine
Shall be, dear Lord, forever mine;
Some Easter morn home we shall bring
The world to Thee, Redeemer, King.
Above the fleeting things of time
Comes Thy dear word, true and sublime
Livei Easter joys have come to stay,
Eternity-is yesterday.
Eternity-transcend theme,
Beyond the range of thought or dream;
Gods blessing to His children given,-
Companion TO the Joy of heaven.

Rusty Milk Cans.


Rusty cans and their effect upon
milk" is the title of very valuable
bulletin of the University of Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station. Ex-
periments indicate that milk hauled in
the poorly timed or rusted cans Is ma
terially injured for cheese making, for
in addition to the retarding influence
of the iron on the rennet action and
the naturalization Of the acid by the
iron, it also produces taints or on-nav-
ors. The milk cans used to haul milk
to our creameries and cheese factories
are too often of cheap grade, and
they are used too frequently after they
have become tainted, and the tin be-
comes cracked and checked so that the
iron is exposed and rusts. In these ex-
periments, milk was placed In rusty tin
cans and allowed to stand for different
periods, willie other samples Of the
same milk were kept In glass beakers.
Every time that this experiment was
repeated, the milk kept in the rusty
cans gave evidence of q retarding influ-
ence on the rennet as compared with
the milk kept In the glass beaker. Milk
which was allowed to stand In iron
utensils for several hours had pecu-
liar blush color, indicating the pres
ence of iron In the solution. 1t was
evident that the acid in the milk acted
upon the iron and dissolved some of it.
The maximum quantity of iron dis
solved in the milk ranged from l to
IN pounds for every thousand pounds
of milk.
The Bulletin urges that the managers
OF cheese factories and creameries see
that the operator is reliable man.
who will not only practice cleanliness,
but will insist that the factory uten-
sils and those Of the patrons are in
first-class condition. He advocates the
use OF only such cans in which heavy
steel is used that have been well tin
ned, similar to those used In Europe.
Experience has proven that the cans
Of the best quality, even though they
are quite expensive, are the most eco
nomical III the long run.
