Tribute to Americas civil war veterans.l
They are marching with a hating step
A hating step and slow
And many in those blue clad ranks
Have hair as white as snow:
Their youth lies on the battefelds
OF forty years ago.
The faded tattered flags they bear,
All torn by shot and shell.
Are sacred emblems of the dead
Who loved their country we'll
How great their love and sacrifice
No human tongue may tell
Those serried ranks are thinning fast
That once with martial tread
The knapsack and the musket bore
Where Grant and Sherman led.
Their sleep is sound and peaceful
In the bivouac of the dead.
No more the revelle at dawn
Shall rouse them from their sleep:
No more shall wives and sisters mourn:
No more shall mothers weep;
Their names upon the roll of fame
Times hand has craven deep
And some lie on those hard fought fields
Where now the blue and gray
Clasp hands across the battle lines
Their blood has washed away.
Where once the tide of battle flowed
Their children's children play.
The passing years speed swiftly,
And silence round them wraps,
And to their listening ears there comes
No sweeter song. perhaps.
Than when the battered bugle sounds
Again the old call-"Tapsl''

Bee Notes.

One must be deliberate and not per-
spire when hiving bees The bees do
not like the smell of excited persons.
Always have an empty box hive
about the apiary properly set on
floor board This will often catch
swarm that might otherwise be lost
1t is never good business policy to
sell customer bad honey or honey
with an undesirable flavor. This will
iniure future sales.
1t is well to keep all vegetation
down around the hives. SO that it will
not interfere with the flight of the
working bees between their hive and
the feeding ground.
The number of colonies which any
locality will support depends on the
fora of the vicinity. There are but
few places, however, that will not sup
port from ten TO twenty-five colonies
to the square mile. and many locali-
ties will support greater number than
this. Bees fly long distances for for
age, averaging at least two miles.
Smoke Is the best agent known
among beekeepers that can be used
to make bees submit to their wishes.
All sorts Of material may be burned
In smoker, such as cotton rags. rot
ten wood. etc. There Is great differ
ence in the disposition OF bees. how
ever. some requiring more smoking
than others.-Farm and Ranch.

lots, but they are often made so that
they can be transported from one part
Of the farm to another. When chute
of this kind is built heavy and strong
enough to support the weight of ma
ture hog or large calf it becomes a
clumsy thing to move Il. j. Linscott
of Hoiton. Kan, has solved this prob
lem of Inconvenience in "A very happy
way, according to the Kansas Farmer.
The wheels and axle used are parts of
old machinery found on the farm, the
wheels being taken from an old now
er. The upper end of the chute is pro-
vided with two strong iron hooks,
which are sharpened SO as TO engage
the bottom of the wagon bed and pre-
vent slipping after the animal starts
upward. With such an arrangement
there is no difficulty in building a
chute of ample strength, because the
question Of weight has relatively little
Importance The chute can be hooked
on behind the wagon and hauled to
any part Of the farm. and it is a com
paratively easy matter to put it in po-
sition by hand.

FRIDAY A BIG Day

place Kettle, Of Ithaca, showed up
strong, particularly in the weights.
In the relay race, some excited spec
'tator ran out on the course and stop
ped the Alma man who was pulling in
a late third. This had no effect on the
results as the Alma man was hope
lessly behind but it was an unfor
tunate occurrence.
St Louis won the class B meet by
a large margin. In this class Middle
ton broke in with one entry who sur
prised the larger schools. Schulz, a
brother OF Herbert Schulz, who will
be remembered as a former Alma col
1ege baseball and football star,
snatched twenty-one points, taking
first in the 5O-yard dash, broad jump,
pole vault, and seconds in the 22O
and 1O0-yard dashes.
Although nothing sensational was
pulled off in any of the events, the list
of entries was far larger than in the
former years and the crowd in at
tendance was larger. The competi-
ton this year was more keen also.
During the three years OF the asso-
cations existence Alma has won two
meets and Ithaca this one.

MEXICAN TROOPS ARE
 ROUTED BY REBELS
President Dlaz Is Living In
 Fear For His Life.

The Mexican governments effort to endorsements into the disturbed region of western Chihuahua proved an utter failure. The first train sent out with troops aboard was shot to pieces and returned, hauling twenty-One dead and forty-two wounded Although they carried mountain guns with them, the troops were unable to use them. They were ambushed and riddled by the fire of the rebels from all sides.
 President Diaz lives in fear for his life and is employing every precaution against assassins. Trusted servants taste his food before he will eat, he changes his sleeping rooms secretly, all streets to the great palace have been closed to traffic, and messengers from the provinces who come to the capital to report progress of the up rising are carefully searched before they are admitted to executive offices.
 Information which, if true, argues heavy blow to the federal arms has been received in the City of Mexico to the effect that General Navarro is in the hands of the rebels. Not only, the account has it, is the government leader a captive, but the troops he led in the last battle of Padernales have been bottled up there by the insurgent force, which drove them thither frl state of complete demoralization. Two noun tain guns are said also to have come into the possession of the victors.
