THE LITTLE TOY DOG.
:. -. *..***..*.. $50 So =

My little toy-dog is covered with dust,
Like the dog in the dear Poets song.
My little steel-cars are covered with
rust
They've lain in the garnet so long!
The marbles are there. and the sold
iers of tin,
Lie hid i'm the old oaken- chest
And there is the drum, and the trum-
pets whose din
/ loved in the ages at rest.
Each rare little toy as it comes to my
hand
My hand that is withered with years,
Brings back TO my spirit that beauti-
full land
Now yelled in the mist of my tears,
The beautiful Land of the Long, Long
Ago,
The scenes of the playtime or yore,
When deep in my soul with its radiant
glow
Shone the sunlight of days now no
more.
The little toy-dog! Stop, stranger, and
bark
What cherished remembrance it
brings!
Ny Daddy-dear Daddy-ah how he
could bark,
What laughter that memory brings!
It echoes, re-echoes, it sounds in my
heart,
That bark, and those yelpings of
glee,
When Daddy came home from his toll
on the mart,
And played with my doggie and me!
All! little toy-dog! All, little steel
car.
I've treasures of mind and of soul
But mid all my prizes, too many by
far.
Not one of them all would l take Cor
the joy.
That now through by memory
comes
OF days that are past, when each lit
tie toy,
And /. am my Daddy, were chums!

Weekly.

MUNIsINe FIRE COSTLY.
Jerry Block is Destroyed, Causing a
Heavy Loss.

Some thousands of dollars worth OF
property went up in smoke when the
Jerry block at Munising was burned
last week. The origin Of the blaze is
unknown. When discovered the fire
had made such Roadway that those in
the building had not time to dress
themselves, much less to save even
their clothing. Fortunately ell got out
without accident.
The Jerry block was n three story
structure. The first noor was divided
into two small stores. The east store
was occupied by the Munising Bazaar
company. which carried general ba-
zaar and holiday stock. The west store
was vacant. The second and third
stories were occupied by the owner
and his family who conducted a room
ing house. Two roomers lost all their
clothing. The Jerry's lost a fine new
piano and all of their household effects
and clothing destroyed-on All Of
which there was no insurance-will
probably bring the loss of the Jerry's
up to between $4,000 and $4,000. A
small safe containing about $3.50 in
money was taken from the ruins.
Nothing was saved of the Bazaar
stock, on which the owners place a
value OF over $1,000. Mrs. Bobennoyer
and her daughter Miss Smith. lost all
their clothing and personal effects.
The task of saving the Duffy build
ing adjoining on the east required the
utmost exertions of the firemen. Had
the fire got good start in the Duffy
close by, would probably have burned.

"What's The News?"
Governor Hughes to the Bench.
By CLARENCE POE.

Ts-T2 HE AVERAGE of ability and courage in
- our National Supreme Court will be raised
- by the addition of Governor Hughes, of
New York, just named by President Taft to sue
coed the late Judge Brewer. Hughes is an ex-
traordnarily big, brainy man and as clean as
hounds tooth. And yet all his past record and
training indicates that he is another Judge, like
Judge Lurton. whose natural inclination is to lay
emphasis on property rights rather than human
rights. 1.-THE Supreme Court governs this coun-
try as somebody said the other day, and most
of President Taft's appointees men who take
the opposite view from that expressed by Mr..
Roosevelt in Paris the other day when he de-
clared, and wisely, think:
MY position regards the moneyed in
terests can be put in few words. In every
civilized society, property rights must be
carefully safeguarded. Ordinarily, and in
the great majority of cases. human rights
and property rights fundamentally, and
in the long run Identical But when it clear
ly appears that there is real conflict be-
tween them, the human rights must have the
upper hand, for property belongs to man and
not man to property"

III spondence. Thirty years ago Wisconsin
NJ found itself in much thes anne blight az

TON as with us) and their land was growing
poorer and they themselves with 1t. More than
this they thought they couldn't grow corn.
Now Wisconsin is one OF the richest agricul-
tural States in America. and have come all the
way out here TO Madison to find out how her
folks have done ito see what lessons our
Southern farmers can learn from Wisconsin farm
ers in their own hegira from the bondage of the
one-crop system and Its attendant poverty to the
marvellous liberty OF diversified and scientific ag-
riculture
That you can't have paying farming on a one
crop basis-this was the beginning OF wisdom
that the Wisconsin farmer learned when-prodi-
ea-llke. and also like our own cotton farmers
he came TO himself" after riotng in the riches
OF new. strange country. And his next lesson
was like unto it-that you can't build up land
wthou, live stock. Nature has decreed that
where grass and vegetation grow there must
animals feed and return the fertility TO the earth
and Natures trnity--the soil. the plant. the
animal. and back again through the same cycle
over and over-s as inseparabie as the links In
a chain.
Wisconsin turned to dairyng because of eli
-
and now instead of her land getting poorer. IT
is getting richer every year-and this in spite of
the fact that wisconsln's total fertilizer bill is
leas than the tonnage tax fertilizers in some
Southern States. In other words where we
spend dollar for fertilizers. they spend one
cent
Wisconsin farmers have learned to grow corn.
too although thirty years ago the common va
rieties of dent corn would not mature in this sec
ton. But this did not fare them. and they set
out TO breed n type that would mature In their
little over ninety days OF assured growing sea
son. This they soon accomplished. and by the
aid of other work In seed selection and plant
breeding to which shall refer later. Wisconsin
the American Union.
That you can not depend on one crop alone.
and that you must have live stock to keep land
rleh-these were the two big lessons Wisconsin
farmers have learned these last thirty years that
our Southern farmers are also getting by heart.
There's one other lesson that the Wisconsin farm
or learned in the very beginning that we are not
yet conceited enough 10 recognize. From the
very hrst he decided that he had n brain worth too
much TO be run by one-horse power Just as the
Southern farmer would instantly recognize that
his time and intelligence are too valuable TO be
FILTERED away driving dogs calves in harness
as a child might do. SO the Western farmer In
stantly perceives that he can't waste his time drv
Ing single animal.
II you have intelligence enough to manage two
horses prohtably. then you tie up half your power
you throw away half your intelligence. you Kill
half your profits. when you only one horse.
