Governor Carroll has appointed ]

Governor Carroll has appointed E.
r. Harlan of Van Buren, county as
curator of the historical department to
succeed Curator Aldrich who died a
year or two ago. The selection is the
best that could have been made and
assures that the important work so
well begun by Mr.. Aldrich will be car
ried on along the lines he mapped out
in his lifetime. The only fault to be
found with the appointment Is that it
was SO long delayed. Mr.. Harlan was
assistant curator for several years
and since the death of Mr. Aldrich has
been the practical head of the depart
ment. He was Mr.. Aldrich's logical
successor and should have been given
the title a year or more ago.

A popular exhibit at the Illinois
state fair at Springfield because of its
novelty and beauty is that of game
birds and from all parts of the world.
1t was prepared by State Game Com
missioner j. A. Wheeler of birds from
the state game farm at Auburn. The
ducks of all kinds. the geese, pleas
ants, quail and other domestic fowl
are the choicest birds the commits
sioner could assemble. The attention
the exhibit has attracted has led to
the suggestion that permanent home
be established in connection with the

The department OF agriculture has
issued a bulletin emphasizing the I'M
portance of rat clubs amongst farm
ers. These are not clubs for the
ownership of rats, nor for the study of
their habits, nor for the breeding of
fancy rats, but are organized for the
express purpose Of hunting rats, by
offering prizes or rewards in various
counties for their humiliation. Not
only do rats destroy property. but they
endanger public health and are be-
coming serious pest.

The AIM OF LIFE.


I'VE live in deeds, not years; in
thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on dial.
We should count time by heart throbs.
He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest,
acts the best.
And he whose heart beats quickest
lives the longest;
Lives in one kour more than in years
4 do some
Whose fat blood sleeps, as it slips
( along their veins.
Life is but means unto an end; that
end,
Beginning, mean, and end to all
rs things-God.
s.hehdeadshaxe all the glory Of the
world.
