"A Christmas Piece.

A Christmas Piece
ohe glad Christmas time, the same as now
With garlanded. bedecked all things round
With mistetoe and bright holly bough-
And gifts joy, supposed to abound;
When glitters Christmas trees twnkling lights
which delights to children's hearts eer brought
'lhen-as beheld all these gifts and sights
In musing, came many a stray thought
First in mind was what shop girls do give
OF tired in serving each day
As public slaves, while some others live
In careless ease. giving bhely-they;
Still many as burden, have seen not
That other side of Christmas near
Though all in true spirit of hour yet
Can give unselfish love- goodwill dear
Cold, shivering, was this Christmas day.
But by glowing warmth of open fire
Sat I-snugly cheer-at this time gay
Watching the flames mount higher higher!
Though outside the wind might howl and Shrek
Contentment and peace within did reign;
Yet thought how some, in vain shelter seek
For half world knows not other halrs PAIN
Just then at outer door low knock hear
AS opened, letting icy blast in
Behold before me- old man stood near
A poor derelict-peddler of tin;
Deformed, bent with age fororn was he
Like fotsam. iesam or chip of wood
With no harbor in Liie's restless sea
All. Earth holds much not understood
How strangely all tossed here there
Some with naugh others with power high
Oft, we cannot choose what. or where
Yet if in selves at last espy
God-glven powers, the choice devolves
Largely to us, to them Alright;
The great brain We'll directed much solves
Moneys power used for good is Might,
Then away with self-aggrandizement-
Vain display. unworthy worldly greed!
Instead precious life to thee sent
In love of fclow-man help of need;
With deep understanding-Live!
Give generous thought, with charity,
Not only to lone peddler but give
To rich poor--lovely and unlovey.
Thus, old mcndicant put hand
Holding forth to sell cup OF tin.
Methought OF Sir T.aunfal's vison-and
That golden clalicc had unseen in
Many such a gnarcd old hand been held

OVERRIDING Patriotism.

OVCiuOAu& dOI4OVxo14s .i
The Brooklyn Standard Union criti-
cises the playing Of THE Star Span
gled Banner" on inappropriate occa-
sions. notably as one air of a medley
when the companion airs are ragtime
productions or worse. The point is
we'll taken. especially If this anthem is
to sustain the dignity and import of a
national hymn. AS music alone the air
cannot be called attractive. The senti-
,ment associated with it invests the
time worn and laboring strains with a
meaning which ennobles in just so far
as it stirs the deeper emotions.
The time and the place have much to
do with the appropriateness Of this
air. OF late it is customary for au-
ditors to rise when 1t is played in a
hall or uncover when played out Of
doors. This is the military custom, but
the air is played in the army ex-
cept on occasions of formal ceremony.
Then the auditors have their thoughts
directed in the proper channel for ap-
preciating the. national hymn. 1t would
seem a good custom for the general
public to reserve this air for formal
occasions and receive it with Difference
always.

EXPERT POTATO CULTURE.

specialist v Hints For Growing
Tubers OF Irrigated Land.
One of the recent farmers bulletin.
issued by the department Of agricul
ture is written by E. b. Grub Of
Carbonate. Colo. an expert grower
who says:
The improved planters Of. today open
the furrow, drop the seed, cover it
firm the dirt W. the seed and mark
the next furrow. Such a planter is
drawn by two horses. The writer
plants the potatoes about two or two
and one-half inches below the surface
Of the soil. Experiments with potatoes
planted in rows all the way from thir.
ty-six to forty-two inches apart indi-
cate that the best distance depends
upon the seasonal conditions and type
Of soil. 1t is a problem for each grow
er to solve for himself. The distance
apart the potatoes should be planted
in the row also depends 10 much upon
the variety, the fertility of the soil,
the availability Of water. ETC., that
each farmer must determine this from
his wi experience. l plant them
eight inches apart in rows thirty-six
inches apart. This gives the largest
tonnage Of potatoes Of desirable size.
The writer's experience has been, that
seed of large size 1.-TWO to six ounces)
produce strong. vigorous shoots, as
they furnish an ample supply Of plant
food to sustain u strong and vigorous
growth until the feeder roots can take
up the food from the soil.
During the last two years the best
results were obtained from planting
medium sized whole seed. While the
cost of the seed has been considerably
greater. the stand has been approx
mately perfect. Experience has prov
ed that from one or two eyes only are
sprouts developed in uncut seed. The
seed end furnishes a strong vine. The
other eyes usually remain dormant.
One OF the greatest advantages Of
using whole seed is the protection
from disease which may be present in
the soil and which may attack the
more tender exposed parts Of the cut
seed.
AS soon as possible after the pota-
toes are planted the cultivator should
be started. This implement has four
shovels, each four Or five inches wide
and about fifteen inches long. two on
each side Of the row.. and is drawn by

it through a key hole of a bank?
Would that be the way to de.
post $4,000?
No, as a sensible business man,

hand it, with the money, thru the
cashiers window, and receive a
proper credit in your pass book.
So, in paying out good money
for real estate, the same business
wisdom dictates that you require
the simple formality of an abstract

substitute for the Zimmerman ordi-
nance, which provided that show cases

moved. Councilman Moore said he
was not in favor OF voting on that
ordinance until all the merchants in
the city had been given an opportunt-

Councilman Lynch then explained
that II the merchants on Broad and

sections o fthe city, objected to the

teal plan-that the .Grundy ordinance
would result In storm Of protest
from every merchant in the city, and
would probably be defeated.

that the Council had {. right to pass
