Mr.. Taft it was who said so wisely
and so we'll but recently, "humor
is first-class shock absorber."
The Bible it is that says, take
therefore, no thought for the NOR
row, for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof"
The president is not permitting
himself either to view with alarm
or point with pride when it comes
to the occasionally presented second
term suggestion. whatever the
triumphs or the disappointments of
the presidency thus far Mr.. Taft
still is able to keep his temper and
enjoy his jokes. Just now he seems
impressed that he has not exacted
maximum of applause from his fell
low citizens around and about. He
thinks, perhaps, that one term of
Taft may be enough and generously
to spare. He is quite sure he has
done his best until the finish; but
he is by no means certain that best
eventually will be as heartily ap-
proved as he might incline to wish.
However, there is to be no hard
feeling about it, in any event, so
far as he is concerned. Indeed, in
all circumstances, Mr.. Taft evidently
is determined to be cheerful-win
or lose. .... '.,'.
On the other hand, having in
mind the Bible quotation herein
before set down, the presidents
first year only has been concluded
his initial term, as it were, is just
one-fourth gone. Or, to speak Ken
lucky wise, the game is yet young.
If man be vouchsafed three years
ito regain that which he has lost, or
imagines he has lost, in one, surely
he is justified in refusing imme-
diately to grow pessimistic and faint
hearted to any great extent.
No complaint is registered in any
quarter that Mr.. Taft is lacking in
real and aggressive patriotism. AT
worst, he is set down as a doubtful
strategist and political tactician,
which is precisely what his dis
tinguished and amazingly popular
predecessor most surely was not.
But the American people usually
are fair and square in their final
appraisements.
1t may so come to pass, say two
years from now, that the American
people will be whooping things up
for Taft Ito beat the band"'--which
is the way they whoop up things in
Indiana-and second term talk may
crowd the air to positive elimin-
alton of all protest. Even then we
opine that Mr.. Taft still will be
good natured about it, and believe
it the peoples business more than
his, nyway.--Washington Herald.

some GOOD THOUGHTS

Here are some good thoughts from
the Farm Journal for May:
Do not forget to congratulate
mother on her birthday.
Equal parts of SKINNED milk and
water, warmed, will remove fly
specks from vanished woodwork or
furniture.
Don't see why the oven doesn't
bake good? Just scrape the SCOT
and ashes out from under it and
you will get an eye-opener on that
subject.
Mattresses will wear better and
be more easily handled if made in
three pieces of equal size, two to lie
lengthwise and one across. The
wear can be distributed evenly,
and they are especially convenient
in case of illness, as they are easily
moved and aired.
Blessings on the wife who sits
down without a bit of grumbling
and mends all the holes in the socks
of the entire family every week.
Every week mind you! If she did
not there would soon be nothing
but one big hole to tackle, and that
would mean money for new pairs.
The prudent young man who is
looking for wife who will wear
WE'LL" takes note of the appearance
of her mother. If she is neat and
trim, and looks as if she had help
with the work and kindly and loving
care, he may safely infer that her
daughter will make good wife.
People who throw away oatmeal
or any ether breakfast cereals, are
throwing good money to the hens
and losing the basis for the best
gems they ever ate. You don't
need a certain measure Of cereal for
the gems. Take your regular
receipt and let the cereal take the
place of part of the -four You'll
be glad.
Unless especially directed to the
contrary by the physicians, all med
icines which are swallowed in tablet
or pill form should be Immediately
followed by drink of some liquid,
as water, milk tea etc. Concen-
trated medicines if allowed to dis

the Wells County authorities and the
officials of the Wabash ValDsy Trac-

Raising Popcorn IN oregon.

We started out to plant the corn,
Twas in the glorious month of May,
And very early in the morn
think it was the second day.
And then the words or mother dear
Were: Listen, my child, and you
shall hear,
Plant on, plant on and on and on. -
We planted and planted but now,
alas!
The corn is over-grown with weeds
and grass.
II we only had a mower, so we
could NOW
But as We haven't, we'll have to hoe.
It's very displeasing to the sight,
So dig right in with all your might,
Hoe on, hoe on and on and on.
We nave hoed and hoed, and now is
seen
The ears turning to gold from green,
We work for the money that We
much need,
So labor away with the greatest
speed.
Then, oh, happy thought
We're free from the duty on which
we wrought,
Pick on, pick on, and on and on.
We picked and picked and now, Oh!
My!
We store it away while the weather's
dry.
So dump it all into gunny sacks.
Then hoist it up on the horses backs
And take it swiftly up to the barn,
To be stored out of the way of harm.
Carry it on and on and on.
We carried and stored with faces
wry,
But still we knew that it must dry,
And when it was dry enough to pop,
We built a fire that was red hot,
And then began the pop, pop of the
corn.
1t sounded better than the breakfast
bell in the morn,
Pop on, pop on, and on, and on.
The corn was popped by ma,
But reading was I and pa,
While brother tried to. invent some
great invention,
And sister, too, had some great in
tention,
While the children that were stand
ing near,
Listened that they might hear,
Eat on, eat on, and on and on.

POURED M0LASSES
into PIPE organ
Did Sherman's Soldiers, But Eastern
Capitalist Replaces instrument
With a New One.

Special to The NetcS.
Milledgeville, Ca, Jan. 1S.-George
w. Perkins, one of ]. P. Morgans
partners, has just repaid an Episcopal
church here for damages done by
Sherman's soldiers more than forty
five years ago, during the historic
march from Atlanta to the sea.
: One of Sherman's regiments took
the Episcopal church as its home.
Sherman had many humorists in his
army, who did strange things, but
the men of the regiment housed in
the Episcopal church outdid their ri
walls when they poured many gallons
of molasses into the pipes of the
church organ.
That organ still does service in the
church, and the molasses bath gave
it in war times has stuck to it ever
since, Notwithstanding years of pious
effort by generations of the good Epis-
copalians to rid it of the Sherman
contribution.
The present organist is Mrs. Ruby
Bland, a finished musician. Her hus-
band, Marshall Bland, is the repre-
sentative of New York insurance
company. Twelve years ago, when
George w. Perkins was the most con-
spicuous figure in the New York Life
a daughter was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Bland. The New York Life Insurance
Company created by Mr.. Perkins, was
at its height, and the girl baby was
christened Nylic.
