QUITTING IN"
Very truly yours,
II. w. McCABE.

It's getting real exciting now,
And begins To look quite Ike row,
For the Poem Machine" we see
Is getting pretty sore al me.
Now we should always do what's right
Even though we're ia fight,
So II you're bit you mustn't get sore,
But grit your teeth and slam some more.
1t looks As if she was backing down
When she spreads the news about our
town
That The True Northerner
Has nterfered with her.
Yes indeed we but ted in,
70 let her go would have been a sin.
Without reply she surely ought not
To be a.io wed to knock such "A lot.
Her guilt she tries 10 remove
BY thinking that she can prove
That we were the first to throw
The stone that won us a foe.
One may throw stone you know,
Aud 1t may happen to 90 just SO
That it will hit nothing at all
Md then again it may hit a wall
The first little stone she threw
Hit only Just fe%,
So we let that one go 10y
And didn't make a reply.
So she thought she'd throw some more
Since it did no harm before,
And wheu one bounded back at her
She shook her fist at the Northerner.
Butshe has such little fist
That we cannot resist
Laughing to hear her try
To make deceit reply
Now wouldn't it make You tired
When a girl gets SO all fired
Contrary that she will yex
Her friends by denying her sex?
Well, we've done al, we can
To convince her she's not Il man,
So think Kalamazoo
Is the place for her, don't you?
Her little rule for success
Il mighty good we'll confess,
And if her goal she reaches
she must practice what she breaches.

the only ones to date who have
announced their candidacy for
the Office of county clerk, al

among other things, chat the

indeed eloquent. That he spared
neither Taft or Cannon, Aldrich

THE COLONY OF MERCYS GOOD WORK

erty, and it was not long before it
was cleared. Later Mr.. Raws
bought $50 acres additional, 80 acres
of which was given to railroad for
the erection of a depot.
The colony now has many fine
buildings, all of them erected by the
colony themselves. The men are not
allowed to remain idle. Each one
is put to work in some capacity.
Ministers who have been unfortu-
nate are put in charge of the spirit
ual welfare of the men; physicians
attend to their companions ills; law
yers see that the institution steers
clear of legal tangles, and the same
principles obtain with the laboring
men. The colony has SEQ acres of
woodland and successfully operates
the original saw mill; there are 9TH
er acres in cultivation for the sup
port of the colonists, and in addi-
ton there are carpenters, blacksmith
and shoemaker shops and recently
a plant for the manufacture of con-
crete blocks and pillars was erected.
Has Made Over Thousands.
Since it started the colony has re-
ceived 5000 men. These are now
scattered in various sections of the
country and many of them are high
ly respected Nearly all are success
full after leaving the institution, and
few ever turn to drink again. Those
who found they could not resist the
temptation when they were out in the
world were welcomed back to the
colony again, and are permanent
members of it. One Of them has
been there for II years, another for
10, and several others for five. No
certain time limit is fixed, but the av-
erage man stays about six months.
An idea of the success of the col
ony is shown by the large number
of it's former inmates who have made
their way in the world. Among
them are one of the leading whole
sale druggists of the middle west,
a prominent manufacturer in Phila-
delphia, and minister who is known
throughout the eastern states for his
eloquent sermons. He had at one
time fallen from grace and was GUST
ed from the ministry, but after a.
term spent at the Keswick Colony
was reinstated, and it was not long
before he had got an important
charge.
Business and professional men
join the colony and pay their own
way. There is special building for
them. and staying there at the pres
ent time are physician, a minister,
a civil engineer, several saloonkeep-
ers, the son of an admiral of the
United States navy, and a druggist.
The cOlonists take no medicine
whatever, except it be the good food
served and the pure air among the
Jersey pines. They rise at o'clock
work at various occupations during
he day, and attend prayer meetings
in the chapel three times a day. At
! 0 o'clock at night all retire. There
s one iron-clad rule that will ex-
clude any man even if he is anxious
to reform. If he is caught swear
ing he must leave the place forever.

WORLDS BIG FARMER DEAD
GeOrgia's Jim Smith May Now Claim
That Title Since the Recent Pass
ing of David Rankin.

David Rankin is dead at the age
of IS. He lived at Tarkio, Mo-,
and became famous as the biggest
American farmer-biggest in num-
Der of acres titled and profits TAX
en-. At the time of his death he had
more than $4,000 acres under cult
Walton, divided into fifteen farms.
There were on his pay roll last year
upwards of 500 men. His profits
during the past ten years are said
to have averaged 100000 annually.
The value of his estate is estimated
to be in the neighborhood of So
100000.
David Rakin began life barefoot
ed with little more than a straw
hat and plenty of pluck. He was
just about as poor as a boy with
stout limbs and hearty appetite
could be called. He went to work
on farm for just bit more than
board and clothes. The first money
he got he put it into land. Then
he got a little more money, and put
that into land. AS soon as he had
OcCOIuS d ldEuI6T LOT himself ne acted
on the principle that it paid better
to market corn and oats ON the hoof
than in the grain, so he made a
speciality of stock raising. Last year
he sold 10000 head of cattle and
about 10 1000 hogs. For fifteen years
he hasn't sold a gram of corn, but
in that time he bought tens of thou
sands of bushels of it, to feed to
his cattle and hogs. Ic
Mr.. Rankin ran his farm just as
banker does his bank. He had
his force of bookkeepers and monthly
balance sheets were struck. The
owner knew precisely what was com
ing in and what was going out all
the time. He farmed for profit, not
for fun, though he probably got a
good deal of fun out of it. His career
is an example and an inspiration.
Now that Rankin of Missouri is dead
it is quite likely that we have right
here in Georgia the biggest Ameri-
can farmer in Smith, of Smithsonia.

CUT OUT THE WEED.
That's What the w. C. T. U. Is Tell
ing Ministers to Do.


The w. c. T. U. of Griffin and
several other Georgia cities have re-
quested the ministers to stop chew
ing tobacco.
The w. c. T. u. it appears is
making a crusade in a number of
places against the use of tobacco
by the young men OF their respect
i've communities.
In this york the women have
been sadly Hampered, they complain,
by the example set by some of the
ministers who learned to love the
plug or, the choice cuttor the sooth-
ing sMoke in their younger days
and have failed to free themselves
from the habit.
When young disciple of the weed
is requested to cease its use as the
masculine substitute for chewing
gum he is quite apt to retort by
calling attention to the fact that such
and such clergyman is addicted to
a similar practice, and that the w.
c. T. U. had better work on him for
time.
So the w. C. T. u. in several
places is working to the end that the
clergy be brought to see the error
Of their way, and cease setting the
growing generation such an example.
Will the propaganda against to-
bacco spread to this city? And will
the w. G. T. U. request the offend
ing clergy, If any, to cut it out?"

NEW JERSEY INSTITUTION
WHERE HUMAN DERELICTS
ARE MADE OVER.
IT HOLDS OUT A HELPING HAND

:" Where OffscOurings of Cities Are
Restored to Self-Respect. Thou
: sands Have Gone Out to Various
Sections and Are Now Good and
Useful Citizens.
J TRENTON, N. J.-One of the most
Interesting colonies in the world is
the Keswick Colony of Mercy at
Keswick Grove, in Ocean county,
this state, which holds out help
ing hand to the down and out" and
restores the inebriates of the city to
sobriety and self-respect. Seven
miles from a saloon in a country
that nature has done her best to
adorn the colony is a peaceful re-
treat, where those who cannot take
care of themselves in the city find
every incentive to good and can
spend their days away from tempta-
ton. That is why it has already
saved 5000 souls. Worthless loaf
ers, hardened slaves to drink and
dissipation, business and professional
men who have yielded too readily to
the temptation of strong drink-all
or nearly all work out their own re-
form, without medicines or doctors,
and return to the ordinary callings
of life braced and fortified for the
renewed struggle. In the colony they
learn to like healthful work; they
grow to like the little chapel in
which they worship thrice day, and
before they realize it they become
Fegenerated.
How the Colony Began.
Thirteen years ago William Raws,
himself rescued from a drunkards
grave, established the colony With
$1.97 in his pocket and with four
men whom he selected from the
Tenderloin he went to Keswick
Grove and took possession of tract
of 400 acres. with three small build
ings and saw mill. The owner of
the property asked $4,000 for it,
and he generously took the promise
of Mr.. Raws that he would be paid.
In a short time the latter gave 800
TO bind the bargain, and soon paid
$500 additional. He gave a mort
gage on the remainder of the prop

Eggnogg Vender Paying Double
Price for Their Eggs.
When Mrs. Adam Forty, of Mey-
erstown, Pa, emptied into the yard
bottle of wild cherries that had
been soaking in whiskey for years
she did not imagine that her flock
of chickens would eat them. They
gulped all of them down and in less
than ten minutes an amusing chick
en- spree was on. The old hens lay
down helpless, and the roosters and
pullets staggered around and trod
all over the hens.
Scores of villagers fiocked to the
place to witness the novel sight, and
a shocked teetotaler delivered a
lecture on the evils of strong drink,
using the drunken hens as a horrible
example
When night came the "drunks"
tried to reach their roosts, but their
legs were too shaky and they slept
on the ground, just like old topers.
An eggnog vender is paying Mrs.
Forty double price for all the eggs
the bibulous hens may lay during
the next ten days.

Though a most thorough investigation
along all lines that might prove a pos
sible source for the trouble has been con-
Quoted the surgeons have thus far been
unable to trace it to any definite cause.
