tales tnat are told by bronze, steel,
copper and wrought iron.
Here's one little tale that
saw" In the great Mills building,
15 Broad. 1t is all told in metal
and 1t has moral as hard and
unyielding as Carnegie steel.
In the private and sacredly ex-
elusive office of a famous broker,
with its legs buried half an inch
In the velvet of a wonderful car
pet, have seen a small, but won
derful table, that weighs over a
ton. 1t is of hand-cut bronze. You
might look at it for many hours
and see every moment some new
beauty in its design. At last, If
you were observing, you would
see the joke in the table. The top
of each leg is a fine reproduction
of rams head. That's the Wall
st. joke about the table, you see:
Ram, sheep, lamb. Lamb is what
we're getting at.
Lambs Head Table" for many
years has been joke in the street.
But, somehow, lately, that and
|other old lamb jokes have lost
their point. The table is now hid
den In a private office.
And at the wide entrance to
the Mills building, where this bro
ker and J. Pierpont Morgan have
their offices, you will find a huge
II 0-ton wrought iron gate.
1t can be closed in 10 seconds
by means of great hydraulic Gals
sons with big, steel pistons.
Ten thousand of Wall st. s
ambs couldn't butt it down, If
hey wanted to.
That gate was patented after
he lambs joke grew old.
The story that the big bronze
able and the big gate tell is thai
'nce Wall st. smiled about the
ambs and welcomed them. Now.
IT ever smiles about them, II
Ices it in secret, and as for vel
oming them, in person, especially
in throngs, there's the gate.
There are several of these grea
hydraulic gates in Wall ST
buildings. There are any numbe
of steel, iron and bronze portal
that are SO finely balanced the
can be closed as easily and quickI
as the lid of your watch.

District gave Ice Cream Social Thursday night at
the |. O. O. F. Hall. Besides being pleasant social
affair for all who attended the Home Mission Ladies
realized quite nice for their almost depleted
treasury which gladened the hearts of the workers
and made them feel that they were at least small
factors in the great work that the W. H. M. S. of
our sunny Southland is so largely engaged at this
present day.

is 1T ANY WONDER HE LEAVES
THE FARM? "

All the cities and most Of the towns have
citizens leagues and commercial clubs for
the purpose of building up their respective
interests. They are daily offering induce
ments to attract visitors, to secure citizens
and investment of money and to convince
everybody, if they wish to live long, and
prosper, that theirs is the only onliest propo-
sition on the books.
But what is being done to boom the rural
list? There is no commercial club for the
farmer; no effort to protect him from the
shark commission man to see that he does
not pay exorbitant freight rates or keep him
posted as to market conditions; no reliable
bureau of information to send him circulars,
to advise him Of schemes for his benefit or
or to warn him of rocks and shoals in the
sea of speculation that will wreck his craft.
Yet we hear the cry all over the land that
the farms are being deserted and the cities
becoming overcroWded. Is it any wonder
that it is SO? If more effort was made to
assist the farmer to higher plane Of living,
a more prosperous condition and less slav-
cry, there would be more inducement for
him to remain on the farm. The credit sys-
tenn has mortgaged him to the merchant;
the tenant system has Inundated and dis
couraged him; the lack of school funds has
kept him in ignorance and bad roads have
isolated him. 1t is hardly to be wondered
that he casts longing eye toward the city
that is boosted and advertised and painted
in glowing coIors.

PROPOSITION THAT MEANS WEALTH
TO THE PARISH.

The devastation of the cotton fields by the
boil weevil, and the fear that further en-
croachments of this insect would destroy
the profits of the cotton planter, have caused
the farmers of this State to look about for
some substitute crop to take its place that
can supply the demand for ready cash and
relieve him from threatened embarrassment
The State Department, to this end, has en-
couraged the planting of corn, with the re-
suit that the State will have several million
bushels of export corn to dispose of this fall.
Necessity has demonstrated that Loulsl-
ana can not only raise corn, but that she
can raise it proftably in competition with
the corn States. This will result in great
benefit to the State and will lead to further
diversifcation Of crops. some of them even
much more profitable than corn.
Recognizing the possibilities Of our soil
and climate, the Covington Grocery and
Grain company has developed plan to en-
courage the farmers of this parish to enter
info the production of some crops that will
not only yield large profits, but being soil
builders. will leave the ground in good con-
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1909-08-14

dition for the production of other crops that
can follow them.
1t is a recognized fact that country that
consumes much more than it produces can
not be a wealth builder and must eventually
be drained Of allits resources. Timber lands
are fast being denuded, and with this loss
the ozone attractiveness Of our atmosphere
must fail also. If we do not become pro-
ducers, then we let slip our only opportunity
for prosperity Therefore we enter heart
and soul into the proposition Of the Coying-
ton Grocery and Grain Company We do
not claim that their enterprise is entirely
philanthropic. This company has large bust
ness and property interests in the parish
and they see, as do others, that if something
is not done to stimulate the farmers to re-
munerative and productive employment we
must all suffer They are looking to the
interest of the farmer, but in doing so they
are also looking to their own interest. But
if self-interest were entirely eliminated from
the conduct Of men, we would soon be eat
ing grass with the cattle If the farmers
take advantage of the opportunity that will
be offered by this company they will soon be
buying for cash instead of on credit, and
every one Of them will become independent
and prosperous.
The offer that this company makes is tC
pay cash, at the market price, for all the
products which they desire to be raised
These products will be selected by reason OF
the adaDtability Of our soil for their produc.
ton, and series of articles will be pub
lished in the Farmer, edited by competent
agriculturists, giving preparation of soil
fertilization and cultural treatment. It is
seldom that the farmer has such an oppor-
tunity to dispose Of his products for cash, al
market price and right at his door, and il
proper interest is exhibited in the matter,
the Covington Grocery and Grain Company
will be blessed by every farmer in the parish
and every businessman.

kINEO TO SKOWHEGAN.
Connection to Be Built from Norridge-
wock to Skowhegan.

Showhegan, Me. July 1.-The doubt
seems to be cleared now in regard to
the railroad line running from Kineo
through to Skowhegan and then tn
Boston The report that the line
would be built from Norridgewock to
make this through line come from
Portland Friday from those who have
official interest in the matter when
Hon. l.. J.. Walton returned home Fri
day night.
The plan is to come from Kineo on
the old line as it is now built as far
as the railroad bridge at Norridge-
wock 1t will then turn and come TO
Skowhcgan on the north side OF the
river and cross the river at SkoWhegan
over the bridge here and then direct
to Boston A new bridge will have to
be built at NorridgcWock within a
very short time unless the above
change is made. which would involve
a cost nearly half what it would cost
to extend the road to Skowhegan.

Remains Of Mrs. Abbie
Cromwell Of Dresden
Are Found in woods.-Mystsry
About the case.
Family Had Supposed She Was
Visiting Son In Wlseasset.

South Dresden, Me-. July 1.--(Spe-
ciaD.-The remains of Mrs Abbie
Cromwell, aged II years. of this place
was found today in piece Of dense
by searchers, after it had been
learned that instead of having been
visiting son since June rs. she had
not been there. Much mystery seems
to surround the case and the arrival of
and investigation by the coroner ID
awaited with interest.
Mrs. Cromwell resided here with a
daughter, Mrs. Sidney Barker. On June
IS she decided to visit a son, Richard
Colby. who lives in Wiscasset, over
the line, perhaps two miles away She
told her little granddaughter that she
might be back the next day to help
celebrate her birthday and started to
walk the distance. 1t was just before
the terrific shower and wind storm of
that date and it is thought that she
could not have Preached her sons home
before it struck. 3.ss& ..E.
She took with her a quart bottle of
whiskey which she had been taking as
medicine and small satchel contain
ing various necessary articles and a
sum of money. Her daughter thinks
that one item of the cash was $50
which she was planning to send to her
bank in Wilton. Whether or not the
money remains in the satchel which
was found near the body cannot be
told till the coroner arrives but the
whiskey bottle was not beside the re-
mains; instead was a quart bottle of
another shape. about half full of elder
berry wine.
When the time went on beyond what
| she was expected to visit her son at
the longest, Mrs. Barker made inquiry
| and found that she had not been at
| Colby's at all. Inquiry In other places
brought no trace and then came the
| remembrance of the storm Of June Is
and the thought that, not having ira
versed that path for many years, she
might have become confused and lost
her way. A reward of $50 was at once
offered and for several days searchers
have been going all over her supposed
route and it's vicinity. Today nearly
300 people were engaged in the search

| Wiscasset were on their way to joir
