SEATTLE, Mar. 16. Tom Gour-

The scow and launches pulled out
from shore, Gourley and his con

Gourley stood on the beach with her
arms above her head. The depart
ure was not without cause. For
several weeks aspirants for leader
ship denounced Gourley as a false
prophet. Two of these, Jones and
Brown. succeeded in weaving several
converts from the flock Before
leaving Seattle Gourley gathered his
flock in conference and compelled
them to pay every bill they owed.

HASKELL REPLIES TO
ROOSEVELT . CRITlCISA

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Mar. 10
Replying to Colonel Rooseyelt's crit
isism of the Oklahoma constitution
former Governor c. n. Haskell said
today;
Roosevelt Is one of the few men
combining all the qualities of the
ass and the jackass. There is no
single provision in the Oklahoma
constitution that bribegivers or spe-
cial interests would pay a quarter
for. In Roosevelts seven years as
chief executive there was no single
official act which bribegivers would
have prevented. Roosevelt is a dead
one. Why waste time on him?"

81 hope we may take President
Taft's words as representing the gen
eral feeling, not only Of the govern
ment but Of the people Of the United
States. It is pleasant to believe that
the time is coming when ,hn two
great countries may refer all their
differences to arbitration.
IF the government succeeds in
carrying ont its agreement it viii
find no heartier supporters than the
conservatives. who have always sup
ported measures for the god of the

Why Not Do This In Your EeIghbOThOodi

Hoard's Dairyman tells An interesting
story of Guernsey breeder in Marathon
County Wisconsin, finding that his neigh.
bors were too poor-in their own minds
to buy good bulls, drew them into
a cooperative arrangement by which
the good bulls he brought, and
those he raised, were placed
about IL the community where
they would do most good Later he
sold number of good bulls at a nor
minal price, inserting in the sale con-
tract clause that he was to have them
back at the same price if he wished.
OF course, the cattle of that nejghbor-
hood at once began to improve. and to-
day one can go to that county and buy
one or a carload of good Guernsey or
Guernsey grade heifers, and a recent
visitor declares that at their fair they
have the finest display of market cattle
to be seen at any county fair in the
country. Here's suggestion for your
community-prsctical cooperation this,
and good farming. Raleigh (N.C.) Pro-
gressive Farmer.

THE HOBO ENGINEER.

l sometimes think I'll quit this life,
And settle down and get a wife.
By jOve, sometimes think that would
love
To have some place could call home,
And settle down, no more to roam.
But HI, that very thing I've tried
And found myself dissatisfied.
I've often tried to settle down
To Office work and live in town,
And act like civilized folks do,
Take in the shows and dances, too,
But I'D no more than get start
Till "Wanderlust" would seize nv
heart,
And in my dreams l would see
The great white silence calling me,
And at the chance I'd never fail
To drop it all and hit the rail,
Back to the sohtudes again,
With transit, level, rod and chain,
To lead the simple life again,
And do the same thing Ger and Ger,
Day after day, week after week.
Sometimes we go to town to seek
A little fun and sometimes-well
Sometimes we raise a little hell
We don't mean to but then you see
Well we've been two months or three
In silent places where the face
OF white man seems out Of place,
Well, when we hit the great white way
Our joyful spirits get full sway.
We try to crowd into one night
The joys of many months. 'Taint
right?
Well, maybe not, tits not for me
To shape our final destiny
But when our final survey is done,
And tied up in the great unknown,
And to the chief our records brought
Of lonely work with danger frought,
or hardships cheerfully endured
That best results might be secured
Against all this our little sprees
Will seem as ponds compared to seas,
And the angels surely will decide
There's balance on the credit side.
The Lord, l think, will drop tear,
And bless the hobo engineer
