THE REACTIONARY.

Inc old ranch is SOLD 10 SYndlcate
That is simply loaded with "tin";
They say that our methods is out of date
An they re fencin' the ranges in.
They'll coddle the cows in pasture lot |
An feed 'em on muffns an tea,
But IN goin on to another spot
They can't make "milker" Of me! |
They cas- cut off the horns of the cows
an steers,
An put 'em in rosewood stalls,
They can tie pink ribbons into their |
An take 'em on afternoon calls.
But I won't get down on a donkey
stool
With shiny tin pail at my knee.
Say, wouldn't | feel like condemn
ed fool?-
They can't make a milker of me!
I'm moving along with my old cayuse
TO a place where the ranges are,
Where the cattle are runnin' free an
loose
With never fence to bar;
Where the lariat's used an they wear
the chaps
An the life's like it used to be,
They can make a farm of the
ranch, perhaps,
But they can t make mixer of me!

COUNTING By TENS.
And Suggestion as to Why We Buy
Things by che Dozen.


Did It ever occur to you as strange
that while we count by tens we buy
30 many articles by the dozen? IL we
ask the price of apples. oranges, oys-
tcrs. eggs. collars. handkerchiefs and
llhlny other things we will be told 80
manv cents or dollars dozen. or II
large quantities are wanted SO much
a gross. which means u dozen dozen.
How do you suppose this has come
about? 1t was this way: Nearly all
savage people count by their fingers
that IL. II they want to tell you they
have seen two wild beasts they will
hold III, two fingers. aud IL ten they
Will hold up both hands, and IL twenty
both hands twice, and SO on. Babies
alsO learn to count by their fingers
and toes. and to many people it seems
,ls II that were the only possible way.
1t is. however. rather clumsy way,
as you find out when you try to divide
ten. Say. for example. you have ten
apples. You can only make an equal
division among two or five persons.
while II YOU have twelve you can give
an equal number to two. three, four
or six. We find the same inconven
ience in dividing dollar and often
have to pay 13 cents for what should
properly cost 1915 cents.
IL we had been born with two, four
slx or eight fingers or toes, like some
animals. 1t is possible that we should
have counted differently, but it does
not now seem likely there will ever be
any change in the ten or decimal sys-
tenn. HIS 1t is called. especially since
the Arabic numerals now used nearly
everywhere IRE based on this system.

Good Words for Home Town

More towns die for want of
confidence on the part of the
residents and business M, n and
lack of the public spirit than
any other cause. When a maj,
in search of a home or business
location goes into a town and
finds everything brim full Of
hope and enthusiasm of the
prospects Of 'ha n'ace, and all
earnestly at work 10 build it up,
he soon becomes inbred with
the same spirit, and as result
drives Gown stakes and s es to
work with the same spirit and
interest. When, however, he
goes irto a place where every
one expresses doubt for the fu-
ture prosperity of the place,
moping about and indu'ging in
mournful complaints, naturally
he feels that it is no place for
him, and he at once shakes the
dust off his feet and pulls out
for some other place

Hills Says Half Human Race
Will Live Here $50 Years
Hence.

Speaking before the convent
ion of the Michigan State
Teachers Association this morn
ing, Rev. Newell Dwight Hills
of New York predicted that
within $50 years half the hu-
man race will occupy the Unit
ed States. He said he believed
the population would be 1,7OO,-
100000 and that the reason for
our having them here is the
fact that we have the land to
care for them, to give them
farms and to give them place
in mighty cities that are yet to
be. Rev. Mr.. Hills ridiculed
the idea that the country is con-
stantly drifting toward social
ism or a dictatorship.

General ZoIIicoffer.

On October 10 there will be
erected beautiful marble slab
on the spot where Gen. Zolli-
Golfer, the noted Confederate
General, fell in the battle OF
Mill Springs on January 16, 1862.
The dedicatory services will be
in charge of Col. Bennett H.
Young, of Louisville, who is at
the head of the work of having
the spot where Gen. Zollicoffer
fell marked by a beautiful slab.
There is a large tree standing on
the spot, which is one mile west
of the National cemetery and
about nine miles west of Somer-
set, where Gen. Zollicoffer is
said to have fallen, and which is
known as Yollicoffer tree, and
which is decorated every year in
honor of the dead hero.
The occasion Of the dedication
of the memorial slab will be one
of great interest, and will be at
tended by noted war veterans
from different parts of the coun-
try.
Col. Bennett H. Young took
this matter up some years ago,
and had w. G. Trimble, of this
place, deed away a plot of ground
for this purpose, Trimble having
been the owner of the ground on
which the battle was fought.
Several efforts have been made
by congressman from the Elev-
enth district to have congress
make appropriation for the build
ing of a fine turnpike from Som
erset, the nearest railroad point
to the Mill Springs battle field
and the National cemetery.
