The death of Edward H.

Hartman was rightly entitled to the sobriquet of ''the railroad wizard Even Jay Gould who made a. colossal fortune out of railroads that others built, would have. been a mere pygmy beside Harriman had he lived to see MT.

A Fine Sermon

Sunday night, Rev. Holly of the
First Congregational church delivered
one of his series of sermons. entitled
"Going To Seed" to very apprecia-
tive congregation. He followed his
subject very closely step by step until
the close of his sermon, when he
showed the method of saving the
seed. Extra has long needed this
class of sermons. They are aggressive
but not abusive; pointed but not Of
fensive; iconoclastic but of the right
kind. We hope that Mr.. Holly will
continue along this line andthat more
of our young people will attend and be
benefited. His sermons are not "sen-
sational', but are plain truths which
if observed will make cleaner and
healthier Extra, morally and physi-
cally.

You say, madam, that the defen-
dant is a sort of relation of yours.
Will you please explain just how
you are related to the defendant?'
We'll, it's like this. His first
wife's cousin and my second cousins
first wife's aunt married brothers
named Jones and they were cousins
to my mothers aunt. Then again,
his grandfather on his mothers side
and my grandfather on my mothers
side were second cousins, and his
stepmother married my husbands
stepfather after his father and my
mother died, and his brother Joe
and my husbands brothe. Harry
married twin sisters. 1 amt never
figgered and just how close related
we are, but I've always looked on
him as sort of cousin
Quite right assented the lawyer

Jim Jones, he was editor-that is
he tried to be;
He bought himself a printing press
and started in to see
Just what there is in editin', but
when he'd canvassed round
Some fifteen hundred editors in
that same town he found.
They all knew more about it than he
could hope to know;
They told him: You must run her
Jones, just SO, and so!
Put in a few free locals for all the
stores, and give
Away some free subscriptions, if
you want your sheet to live.
Well, Jones, he did just as they said
for fear they'd make row;
But the more he tried to please them
all, the more they told him how!
Until at last he took his book and
laid it on the shelf
Then ran the paper in the ground,
and followed it himself.

Colonel John L. Rice of Spring
field, Mass. has discovered the iron
safe, which was used by John Brown
before his Kansas exploits, and while
he was in the wool business in that
city. When John Brown failed in
business the safe was sold with his
other effects and disappeared, and
no trace of it could be found until
the recent death Of Henry Braman.
Colonel Rice was administrators of
the estate and found the safe among
the other effects. He had it trans.
ferred to the historical society.

Woodman spare that tree

WoouInan spare CnaG Tree
Touch not a single bough
In youth it sheltered me
And I'll protect it now.
Old Poet
The tree for which the poet plead
Was one beneath whose shade
He'd oft built castles in the air.
Or dreamed of some fair maid,
Of how he'd who and win her
(Ah pleasant dreams were these)
With naught to mar his dreaming
Save ''skeeters," gnats and deas.
4 cannot spare that tree Sir Bard,
The woodman grimly said,
'Tis old, decayed and homely and
It's spreading branches dead;
But if it will asuage your grief
And stop your rhyming then
I'll promise when I've cut it down
To cut it up again.

A girl who could spell Deuteronomy
And has studied domestic economy
Went to skate at the rink,

Sat down to study astronomy.

/ know a man who is SO old, it is his
time to die,
And yet he lives and laughs and
loves, this is the reason why:
He still believes song is singing
somewhere in the dawn,
And that the days to be are better
than the ones agone.
A strange old man is he indeed, and
yet his face is young,
It's wrinkles are the laughter-lines
his constant Joy has flung
His hair is white as snow, and yet
some way you know his heart
Is warm with all the Sunshine of
the years we hold apart.
A crust of bread and corner to
sleep in,
A minute to smile and an hour to
weep in,
A pint of JOY to a peck of trouble
And never laugh but the moan
come double;
And that is life.
A crust and corner that love makes
precious
With the smile to warm and the
tears to refresh us;
And Joy seems sweetsr when care
comes after,
And moan is the finest of foils
for laughter,
And that is life
