rest and you will avoid much sickness.

HOLDEN FOR GRANGE HEAD.

A boom has been started in Iowa
among the admirers OF Prof. P. G.
Holden OF the state college to make
MIN head OF the national grange. Pa
irons OF Husbandry. The head of this
important order has been retained In
the east for many years and the
western members are demanding
that western man be selected. Pro
fessor Holden has long been promf
nent in the grange work in Iowa and
in the nation. His work in connec-
ton with the farm extension depart
ments OF the state college brings him
into contact with great many OF the
farmers of the state and they believe
that with him as the national head
the order would advance rapidly.

OVER THE HILLS.

Over the hills and far away,
A little boy steals from his morning
play,
And under the blossoming apple tree
He lies and dreams OF the things to

OF battles fought and victories won,
OF wrongs o'erthrown and of great
deedE done
OF the valor that he shall prove some
day, fgaa
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away,
It's o for the toll the Iiyelong day,
But 1t mattered not to the soul
aflame
With love for riches and power
and fame.
On, o man. while the sun is high
On to the yonder joys that lie
Yonder where blazeth tie neon of day,
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away,
Over the hills and far away,
An old man fingers at close of day;
Now that his journey is almost done.
His battles fought and his victories

The old-time honesty and truth,
The trustfulness and the friends Of
youth,
Home and mother-where are they?
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away.
