The Men Who Won.

There's voice and a shout for the men
who win
There's a storm of applause and of
wonder;
But never a cheer for the men whose sin
Was only to fall and to blunder.
SO here is song for the men who MOL
With the frowning skies above them.
And here is toast for the sons of ton
To the men who lose-God love them!
Oh, what is success but an empty game?
What is wealth but a baubIe ever?
Yet right is something more than a
name
Though the wrong rides high forever
SO here is song for the ones that live
Though fortune ne'er caress them
And here Is toast for the souls that
striVeL
To the men who lose--God bless them!
There's cheer for heroes on land and
There's fame for the high endeavor,
There's a shout for the knight of chiy-
airy,
There's praise for the strong and
clever.
But here is a song for the ones that live
Though fortune ne'er caress them.
And here is a toast for the souls that
strive
To the men who lose-God bless them

Magazine.

A mysterious burglary occurred a
few nights ago at Woolwich. During
the night a sealed box car in the
Maine Central freight yard, which
was being carried through to the East,
was entered by parties unknown and
five barrels of the contents stolen.
1t is supposed that the barrels We're
rolled to a neighboring wharf and
taken away in launch. How the
thieves knew the contents of this
particular car and how such bulky
cargo of plumber could have been Sc
cured without detection are questions
that are puzzling the Maine Central

"All the cane seed in our country
has been bought up, as farmers are
making a rush to plant cane for for
age feed for stock" This remark was
made by H. Lewis of Vinita, Okla. Mr..
Lewis stated that he could not get
seed at home, so when he brought
stock here yesterday he at once set
obut to get cane seed to take back
home. "The hay crop was cut short
by the drouth, and so we are now
short by the drouth, and so we are
now going to plant cane to raise for
age feed for our stock" added Mr..
Lewis. 1--WE had very good rain
Monday, which filled the creeks and
started up the grass. But that will
not make hay, so we are preparing
for the winter by sowing cane seed
There is plenty of time in which tc
produce a good crop of it.
