SPEAKING of MIR. Charles W. Morse convicted
of bank wrecking and sentenced to fifteen years i'm
prisonment, Harper's Weekly of late date says:
ut seems very wasteful to imprison him. But
what is really important to know about him is
whether he is cured. If he was innocent in doing
the things he did and did not and does not know
that they were wrong, there is reason why he
should not do the like again; but if he has a
new light and is cured, long of compulsory
institutional treatment will only harm him. Punish
ment for the sake of retribution is little worth.
Life too short to spare time for much of it. Pun
shment that restraints teaches and is the only
kind that is worth time and trouble" All of which
is sound, sensible and seasonable.

mentioned provisions to the rate OF interest The
state issues certificates of purchase to the purchaser

recorded in the county.
"Not more than 800 acres can be sold or con-
tracted to be sold to any one purchaser. Within
FIVE years of the date of sale the purchaser or his
assigns must perform at least one OF the following
requirements: % Fence at least rs per cent of
said tract for pasture and convert such portion into
pasture land (2) Cultivst at least per cent of
said tract 90 Build house and actually reside
upon said tract for period of twelve months.
Call payments of principal or interest must be
made to the County Treasurer of the county in
which the land is situated.
"No lands be sold at private sale. The
state reserves the mineral on all it's lands.

payment would be Is per cent of the purchase price,
$4,000, $4,000, and interest upon the balance of

July l, 1910, at the rate of per cent per annum,
amounting to $8l6, making total down payment of
$44.16. Then all the purchaser would be required
to pay for 40 years would be the annual interest,
amounting to $816, and the taxes"
The plan above set forth enables those of small
means and worthy ambition to become landowners
and eventually prosperous farmers. The tendency
nowadays is away from the cities to the farms. All
farm products bring good prices and are always as
staple as cash. The farmer-especially the small
tiller of the soils the most independent person
on EARTH This fact is being demonstrated more
clearly as the years go With rural free delivery,
magnificent steam and electric railroad facilities,
good schools and churches, the farmer is the

EDITORIAL.

ABOUT forty years ago the late Senator John
j. Ingalls, published poem in the Kansas Maya
zine entitled Opportunity which has been translated
into every language known to Here it lie:
Master of human destinies am I!
Fame, love, and fortune on my footsteps wait
Cities and fields walk; penetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and passing by
Howell and mart and palace-soon or late
l knock unbidden once at every gate!
Ii sleeping, wake-if feasting, rise before
turn away. 1t is the hour of fate,
And they who follow reach every state
Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
Save death; bat those who doubt or hesitate
Condemned to failure, penury and woe,
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore
I answer not and return no morer
Of peculiar and particular interest to many
readers of The Mirror is the following reply by
William Malone:
They do me wrong who say core no more
When once knock and fail to find you in;
For every day stand outside your door
And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win.
Wall not for precious chances passed away,
Weep not for golden ages the wane!
Each night burn the records of the day
At sunrise every soul is born again!
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast?
Dost reel from righteous Retribution's blow?
Then turn from blotted archives of the past
And find the futures pages white as snow.
Art thou mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell;
Art thou sinner? Sins may be forgiven;
Each morning gives thee wings to fee from hell,
Each night star to guide thy feet to heaven.
Laugh like boy at splendors that have sped,
To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb;
My Judgments seal the dead past with it's dead,
But never bind moment yet to come.
Though deep in mire, wiring not your hands and
weep;
lend my arm to all who say, 81 CAM
No shame-faced outcast sank deep
But yet might rise and be again man!'
Opportunity knocks at every free mans door at
early and all day long The opportunity lies
in doing ones best in that upon which one is en-
gagged.

Granted to Joseph jerks, who Estab.
ished iron Works in New England.
The first patent in America was
granted to Joseph jerks, a founder
and machinist who had emigrated
from Hammersmith, England, where
he was born in 1902.
He was a very ingenious man, and
was induced by Gov Winthrop the
younger to come to Lynn. Mass,
about 1912, as master mechanic, to
establish "the iron and steel works.
He was acknowledged head OF the
iron smelling and founding business
and the first builder of machinery N
this country, and first patentee of in.
vention in America, having intro
duced the idea (first granted by act
of Parliament in 1920 of protection
for the manufacture of improvements
by petition to the government of
Massachusetts Bay.
In 1916 he took patents for mill
improvements. and in 1856 he patent.
ed the present form of the grass
scythe, for which he should be held
in grateful remembrance. In 1852
he made dies for the first coinage of
money. the pine tree shillings. In
1854 he built the first fire engine. to
the order of the selectmen of Bos.
ton (the first ever built in the coun-
try); in 1857 he built a forge and
entered upon the manufacture OF his
improved scythes nine years before
his application was granted. From

We did not ask in those old days
lf 1t looked east or west,
10 our young eyes the landscape there
OF all the world was best:
Ehe steps led out to hills of home,
Known fields and meadows low.
With childhood's morning glory 1T
What more was there to know?
rhe little wild things loved It, too.
The pewee and the wren
The squirrel from the oak near by
Would frolic there, and when
Dur Laughing Patty's harmless broom
Had chased him to his limb.
He'd sit and scold at her as If
The porch belonged to him.
The slim, implanted pillars gray.
The roof where MOSES met,
The wabbly banisters, the bench.
The battered croquet set,
see them ALL and all EMPOWERED
When June was at its height,
With rose-bloom thick as clustered
stars
Some keen DECEMBER nlgnt.
There fathers homemade chair all
day
IT'S waiting arms outspread,
But might not clasp that sturdy shape
Till daylight's tasks were sped.
Then in the dusk came mothers
voice,
And Patty's low replies
The Aoneysuckle's breath around.
The young moon in the skies.
And IL at times our glances caught
A glimpse of marble pale
Against the dropping cedars dark
Beyond the gardens rail,
It brought no aching thoughts of those
Who there in quiet lay.
For even our vanished ones, we felt,
Were still not far away.
They say the house is haunted now.
But if the tale were true
&c Heaven would but single hour
OF those old Times renew,
Not all the gain nor ease nor power
That cheats a world Of men
Gould keep me; on my knees I'd go
To that old porch again.
