SPRINGS SARABAND.

Over the hills of April
With soft winds hand in hand,
1mpassionate and dreamy eyed,
Spring leads her Saraband.
Her garments float and gather
And swirl along the plain,
Her headgear is the golden sun,
Her cloak the silver rain.
With color and with music,
With perfumes and with pomp,
By meadowland and upland,
By pasture, wood, and swamp,
With promise and enchantment
Leading her mystic mime,
She comes to lure the world anew
With love as old as time.
Quick lifts the marshy chorus
To transport, trill on trill;
There's not a rod of stony ground
Unanswering on the hill.
The brooks and little rivers
Dance down their wild ravines,
And children in the city squares
Keep time, to tambourines.
The bluebird in the orchard
Is lyrical for her,
The startling with his meadow pipe
Sets all the wood astir,
The hooded white spring-beauties
Are curtsying in the breeze,
The blue hepaticas are out
Under the chestnut trees.
The maple buds make glamour,
Vlburum waves its bloom,
The jonquils and the daffodils
Are risen from the tomb.
Safety and treadmill
Have lost their wintry mold;
The commonplace seems paradise
Through wells of greening gold.
o Heart, hear thou the summons,
Put every grief away,
When all the motley Mosques of earth
Are glad upon day.
Alack, that any mortal
Should less than gladness bring
Into the choral Joy that sounds
The saraband of Spring!

to have many inquiries on this subject as
the Congressional campaign progresses.
1t was accordingly very desirable that all
the information should be collected as
speedily as can be, presented to the Sen
ate and printed so that it would be Access
sible.
No one realizes better than Senator
Hale that Maine, as we'll as the rest of
New England, will fare badly if another
tariff revision is undertaken within a
few years. He was one Of those who
resisted the revision Of the Dingley law
as long as he could and now he propose
to get before the public as much infor-
nation as possible to make plain the
strong points of the Payne law. The
first year or two of the life of tariff
law are always turbulent. Plenty of
people are ever ready to emphasize the
fact that taxes are burdensome and they
can find paragraphs and sections in tariff
laws that do not please them.
The New England Senators have had
increasingly difficult battles to wage
over tariff during the last twenty years
since the controlling influence in legisla-
ton has been steadily swinging west
ward The interests Of the West in a
tariff are naturally not identical with the
interests of the East and of New Eng
land. Maine obtained less under the
Payne law than it had under the Dingley
law. 1t will undoubtedly have less under
the next tariff law, whenever it is enact
ed, than it has now under the Payne law.
Hence the anxiety of the Maine men in
Congress to meet the current criticisms
of the Payne law in the belief that after
it has been in operation for a couple OF
years, its good features will be more
generally recognized.

Mary Elizabeth Ennis holland.

The place of her nativity was
Shelbyville, Shelby Co., Mo-, Aug.
g, 1851. Its early settlers were
Vireinians, Marylanders and Ken
tuckians, very noble and typical
people. The surroundings of her
young life were favorable to the
social and christian virtues, which
were so exempted in her character
and life especially in her home
life. No marvel, that so early she
was taken into the Methodist
Church. calmly confessine Jesus
Christ, vowine loyalty to, faith in
Him and His service for His name
sake; reaffirming His headship Of
His church, and His conquest of
this world through it.
In her. His church had a living
member, a royal and loyal servant,
whose habit Of religious life was
prayer, whose charity was a bond
Of perfectness, whose hope anchored
her own and other lives within
the veil; whose service was I'M
grudging. constant. loving and in
telligent; whose study of the Holy
Scriptures, was reverent and syste-
matte; making her wise unto saliva
ton; whose gentlenesS made her
great, whose spirit was humble and
whose end was a cloudless trans

Systematic Farming.

In book on systematic farming
the writer says some good things,
among them the following:
Every man familiar with raising
corn knows that eighty bushels per
acre can be raised as easily as thirty
bushels per acre, if the land is
properly cultivated. Take the av-
erage farmer who has 100 acres of
land. He may raise about seventy
acres of corn and seventy acres of
oats. His gross sales will not be
much over $1,000. He should di-
vide, his 100 acres into five fields
of thirty acres each allowing ten
acres for house, barn and garden.
Keep 100 good ewes. Have sixty
acres in corn sixty acres in grass,
thirty acres in rye or oats. Keep
twenty good brood sows, raise 100
pigs. In this way his land would
be kept in a rich state and he
would be sure to raise seventy-five
bushels of corn per acre, unless he
had an excessively dry July and
August, and he would probably
raise about thirty bushels of rye to
acre. 1t would be better to SOW rye
because he would be sure to get a
better set of clover than after oats.
If he raised 100 good market lambs
they would be worth $500; his wool
should bring $3.50; he should raise
100 hogs to weigh 200 pounds. worth
$1,000; his rye crop would be worth
$500 at least, and he would raise
about 1880 bushels of corn, half of
which he would feed to his hogs
and horses, leaving about 1000
bushels to sell, which should yield
$500 more. This would make his
gross sales amount to $3,050, and
his land would DE growing richer /
every year instead of poorer, as it |
is now. His corn fodder properly |
cared for, would be much better
feed for his stock than hay. He
would have sixty acres in grass, |
and he could divide off ten acres
with a temporary fence for a
meadow"

Take Time to Read.

The young man was accosted by
lady newspaper solicitor and urg-
ed 10 be a subscriber. He made
one of the usual excuses that he
had no time to read. A farmer
who believes in the country news
paper and who overheard the con-
versation stepped up and gave his
view on the subject. He said:
have got a section of land out
there, and most of it under cultiva-
ton. l cultivate my farm right,
too, as you know. l am getting re-
suits, and there is no blow to this
talk because don't mean it that
way, There is mighty little holiday
on my farm. But let me tell you
something, my young man; and he
turned to the young man who
didn't have time to read. Let me
tell you something. Every day of
my life when come to the house

Only a few dry. rasping, scentless

Scattering the bloomless bosom

To tiptoe through their mystery

Lieutenant Governor,
Jefferson City, Mo.
Dear Sir:
Your communication of Februa-
ry 10 has been received. The
figures given in the Missouri Man
ual of 1909-10 on the vote for Lieu
tenant Governor by precincts and
by counties are the figures reported
by the various county and city cleo
ton officers to the Speaker of the
House and on file in this office.
The Secretary of State has no pow
er or authority to change these
records, and if l had / would not
make change nor knowingly per-
nit any on else to do So The
official returns Of the last election
of which | became official custodian
show that Mr.. William Painter was
elected Lieutenant Governor by a
plurality Of twenty-three. The
clerks in this Office TO whom was
assigned the compilation of election
figures for the Manual so found,
and since receiving your letter l
have re-checked the figures and find
the official abstracts confirm the
margin Of twenty-three in Mr..
Painters favor. l have no right,
power or inclination to publish any,
thing about those returns that the
records do not plainly show on their
face. Neither you nor / can change
history that is made. Permit me
to call your attention to page 81 of
the House Journal of the last ses-
sion. This record was signed by
Speaker Speer and compiled and
signed by Chief Clerk Goshorn. The
paragraph to which l would call
your attention was a part of the re-
port made and signed BY all men,
Ders of the Joint Committee. among
whom are such well known legisla-
:ors of integrity as Hons. M. E. |
Hiram Lloyd, R. D. Silver,
]. M. Grimes and A. S. L. Gardner, |
and which reads as follows;
Second: There were given to us |
by Speaker of the House various
returns from several coun-
lies, which we considered; and upon
.hese, not counting those precincts
disputed and on which the Com
nittee could not agree with a re-
count, out William H. Painter had |
4 plurality of twenty-seven votes"
Believing that the amended re-
turns were honestly certified, found
I'd on good law, and entitled to
credit. chose those as the proper |
figures to publish in the Manual. II
believe they are entitled to greater
,redence than any you or l, or any
one else might substitute, and have
better claim to being official than
any others that may exist, OF might |
be manufactured by either an in
-erested or disinterested party. Re-
sarding you as an honest citizen, |
believe that you were Secretary of
State in my place you would use
the same figures l have used.
Since the totals in the vote for
Lieutenant Governor show that Mr.. |
Painter received the greater vote, l |
saw proper to add sub-note to the
tables of figures, explaining that the
lieutenant gOvernorship being in
dispute was referred to a committee
upon investigation. reported
