IF EVERYTHING WE'RE DONE.

If all our bills were paid
And all our cares were done;
II every path were made
And every struggle won;
II every wish came true
And every heart were gay,
Whatever would we do
70 pass the time away?
If every sky were fair
And everything we tried
Succeeded; If despair
Came never to our side;
Were every burden light,
Pray tell me, il you can,
If everything were right
What would proclaim the man?
If no one ever failed
And no one wronged a friend;
II no one were aSsailed
By hatred. and the end
OF everything were known,
Each mystery unfurled,
Oh, what q monotone
Would be this splendid world!

Evidently the crusade for the aboii-
ton of football which was begun with
such vigor at the close of last season
has died a natural death. as it should
have. Reports from most of the large
colleges of the country are to the eff
feet that the football squads are al
ready being formed for preliminary
spring practice. An unreasonable
movement of that sort is bound to
waste away of its own accord if given
sufficient time.

THE TIME MASTERS.
The editor OF an esteemed Kansas
exchange tells Of an agent for type
writing machines who called at his Of
fee the other day. The agent began
to talk business right away, and the
editor tried to head him off by exhib-
iting a nav machine that he had just
bought. That was conclusive evidence
that he didn't want another one. but
the agent was not discouraged. He
began to criticise the editors machine
and to praise his own, trying to make
a trade of some kind. Finally the edi-
tor who is a polite and patient man,
had to rear up and reach for a club
in order to get rid Of the salesman.
Busy people all over the country
are subjected to such annoyances
every day. There are statesmen who
table when they have badgered a man
into buying something he doesn't want
but they never sell twice to the same
people. The salesman who does not
bore people is the one who makes
friends and keeps them, and has the
best record when a general average is
struck.-Emporia Gazette.

tons laborious first journey up the
Hudson to this new record just in our
grasp! Thus do things transpire in one
generation which were entirely be-
yond the Imagination of former gener-
atoms. Our forefathers who boarded
the old sailing vessels, trusting to the
wind and a kind Providence for swift
and safe journey, would especially ap-
preciate this wonderful new mode of
travel. There are thousands of men
and women in the United States to-
day who arrived in America original

vessel Miles no longer measure dis
lance. Modern modes of travel have
deserted the measuring tape for the
clock. Instead of thinking of Europe
as almost countless miles across the
deep, the modern schoolboy links it
with a half weeks splendid travel in
luxurious floating hotels. This point
cannot be too prominently empha-
sized. AS the great continent crossing
railroads have made Pacific coast and
Atlantic coast citizens next door neigh
bors in America, SO have our fast mod
ern Atlantic flyers made Europe and

 Certain things about the dinner at the Dallas house will always be ob- scure to me. Dallas was something in the fish commission, and I remem- Der his reeling off fish eggs in billions while we ate our caviar. He had some particular stunt he had been urging the government to for years-some- thing about forbidding the establish ment of mills and factories on river banks-it seems they kill the fish. either the smoke, or the noise, or something they pour into the water.
 Mrs. Dallas was there, I think. Of course, I suppose she must have been: and there was woman in yellow; I took her in to dinner, and remember she loosened my clans for me so I could get them. But the only real per son at the table was a girl across in white, a sublimated young woman who was as brilliant as I was stupid. who never by any chance looked di rectly at me, and who appeared and disappeared across the candles and orchids in a sort of halo of radiance. When the dinner had progressed from salmon to roast, and the conver. sation had done the same thing-from Ash to seandal--the yellow gown

The rice is now six inches high and has been flooded. Mir. Bell believes that the soil in what is called the fiat woods in Union county is even better adopt ed to the culture of this cereal than where he is now experimenting as it contains less sand and will hold water better. Artesian water can be had any place in the county and if the soil is adapted to the culture of rice our lands should be utilized in that way to good advantage.
