The POET AT LOGAN.

Two weeks ago one of the Logan pa
pers printed a very clever poem from
the pen of a student at the Agricul-
tural college. Its motive did not espe7
cially please the editor, and he suggest
ed that the author try some theme a
little more commendable, and make his
muse essay a flight within fields which
the general public can approve.
Now, whether the following in the
Logan Journal be an emanation from
that same poet we are not in Vosition
to say. But you will note that for a
lad of thirteen it is pretty good stuff.
Forget some of the crudities, and look
for the spirit and sentiment of the
work:
flag of freedom, spread thy stripes
And stars to the breeze!
What flag of country ever waved
Such stars and bars as these
When freedom raised this flag from war
With pure white stripes and red,
She tore the sky where stars abide
To rest them on her head.
The red is blood of heroes brave
In blue the azure sky;
But white is from sweet Paradise,
That sacred home on hig1.
In red our brotherhood stands firm,
Aud purity in white;
n hue is justice for US all,
Our flag where all is risht.
Those stars increase not day by day,
But in the course of time:
The flag where glory alweys lies,
The flag that's all sublime.
The pOtriots abroad and home
Look up with pride to thee
Thou art the flag they long have loved
Sweet flag Of brave and free.
Those stripes fly homewar1 Ser the sea,
They wave on ocean breeH3;
Ard long may freedoms banner float
Such stars and bars as these.
To show the history Of her land
Those stripes so bright remain.
In that sweet ensign natioTs see
a flag without a stain"
Thou hast our prayers, our faith and
love,
Sweet notal flag of yorc;
The flag where glory never dies
Wave on for evermore.
o flag of freedom, known Of old,
Freed from the storm and blast,
Kiss thou the loving, gentle wind,
And wave in peace at last.
Now, there was once a paper called
The Little Corporal, which only the
aged remember. 1t was published in
Chicago, shortly after the close of the
Civil war; and it's publishers inclosed
cards with rejected manuscript On
these cards were printed a number of
reasons for the rejection. One was
the evident youth of the author As
rule no other reason was assigned.
II the same system prevailed in the
present case, would any reader of the
above poem reject it because of the
youth of the author? And is there not
merit enough in the work to warrant it's
publication, no matter how young or
how old is the writer?
We rather look for good work in flu
ture from the pen of Leroy j. Leish-
man. who wrote the poem we have
quoted-and have only to temper this
commentator with the warning that
art is long, and that hard work is the
only royal road to success.

When ] play on my fiddle in Dooney,
Folk dance like a wave of the sea;
My cousin is priest in Kilvarnet,
My brother In Mahsrabuizee.

They read In their books of prayer;
read I'm my book Of songs

When we come at the end OF time,
To Peter sitting in state
He will smile on the three old spirits,
But call me first through the gate;
For the good are always the merry,
Save by an evil chance,
And the merry love the fiddle,
And thu merry love to to dance,
And when the folk there spy me,
They'll all CONS up to me,
With Here is the fiddler OF Dooneyi''
And dance like a wave of the sea.

BE HOME TRADERS.

We don't mean trade your home but
trade at home.
Bay, whenever possible, the things
you use aud wear from local dealers, in
stead of sending out Of town for them.
Another thing; there are many things
made right here in our community that
are ss good as the best made in other
cities. For instance.
Flour, vegetables, medicines, enamel
ware, gas, o7eralls, clothing, cigars,
vehicles, banking, contracting, lumber,
insurance, printing, and last but not
least, newspapers.
II these homemade products taste as
good, look as good, wear as good, serve
as good aud are rs good-and
they are far better for your own and
your neighbor's welWare-as out-of.town
products, isn't 1t bat fair that you should
give the homemade goods your prefer
ence?
Encourage home industries whenever
you can. They are the backbone of
business. They employ you and your
neighbors. They have backed Their
faith in the growth and prosperity OF the
city by investing Thousands aud thou
sands of dollars in establishing mana
featuring plants within our borders.
They are the real builders of the COM
muuityl They need your encourage
ment aud help. They need your

RIIRNED In HER ZONE.


The incineration in her burned home
of Mrs. Hamilton, an aged woman,
living alone in an isolated section OF
Nelson county, and the circumstances
surrounding the death and burning seem
to point strongly to foul play. Mrs.
Hamilton was known 10 keep money in
the house.
The roof OF the dwelling Was falling
in when neighbors Jaw the flames, and
rescue was impossible. Several volnn-
tered to 20 into the burning building
aud one of those who took the risk dis
covered the body of Mrs. Hamilton,
burned to a crisp, pinned beneath a
mats OF fallen timbers.
The circumstances surrounding tie
death Of Mrs. Hamilton are identical 10
many respects With the recent double
murder and Burning in Powhslan
county, when Mrs. Mary E. skipWOIth

containing shots leading conclusively to
the superstition of murder. 10 both oil
these crimes murder was committed foI
the purpose of robbery, the house after

mated 10 hide the deed. There is a
strong supposilion that Mrs. Hamilton

No woman should submit to a surgi-
cal operation, which may mea death,
until she has given Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
ly from roots and herbs, a fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonic and remover of
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing testi-
monyt to the wonderful virtue Of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are ill, for your own sake as well as
those you love, give it a trial.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
herf0r advice. Her advice is free,
and always helpful.

tains a series OF stars In rather high
relief instead of the usual reeded edge,
while the edge of the piece struck In
base metal is smooth.
The cabinet at the mint contains 9TH
err pattern pieces of which little is
known. The reverse design of this
double eagle was used by Engraver
Barber as the diverse OF a half dollar
pattern piece struck in 1891, a specimen
of which is on exhibition. On the re-
verse OF the 1891 fifty cent piece was
a small spread eagle, with wreath, stars
and q band of clouds above, similar
to the reverse designs OF the silver and
gold pieces issued during the early part
of the 18th century.
Another half dollar pattern piece of
1891 has been pronounced unusually
handsome. 1t shows the same kind Of
central device as the first half dollar,
but without the wreath, thus perrnit-
ting the design to stand forth promi-
nently.
These patterns and others were exc
cuted in anticipation of the change in
design which took place in 1892. whe
the well known device of a seated figure
of Liberty, used since 1910, gave way 20
the bust of Liberty now familiar.
