Farming by Electricity

From the Dublin Farmers Gazette.
 Would it not be possible to harness the electric spark to our blows and farm machines? Tn this direction there seems a reasonable chance of success, and if Irish agriculture is to prove successful against foreign competition an advance on such lines seems desirable.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Butte have left Dumfries house. Ayrshire. for Mountstuart their place in the Isle of Butte. It may be recalled that 43 years ago, about the time he came of age, his lordship's father left Mountstuart for a stroll. Lord Butte encountered a lxilted Cockney tourist with a paucity of calves, spectacle by no means uncommon in Scotland at the period
 The stranger asked to be directed to some place or other, and the young mar quis very courteously accorded the re- quired information. The Londoner now glibly gabbled q string of would-be satir- ical comments anent the outlandish, bar barous inhabitants of Butte, to which the nobleman listened patiently with an amused smile
 Deceived by his lordshiD's accent the other queried "Spose, guv'nor, like ger 'fmble servant yer belongs to dear hold Hengland?'
 No answered Lord Butte, I'm a na- tive of this isand!"
 "A native! Oh, Jerusalem, Then who tanned yer?"
 The Marquis of Pute assumed a feree scowl and hourished an oaken cudgel he was carrying. He vciously hissed. "Who says I'm tame!" The little kited Cock ney, shrieking with fright Murder. Mur- der!' turned and fled.

 As host Lord Durham has frequently entertained royalty at Lambton castle, his beautiful residence on the Wear, for the shooting there is very good. Once, when King Edward, then Prince of Wales, was staying there a large number of pheasants were shot His lordship, iot having any use for all the birds obtained, arranged with dealer in Newcastle to take the surplus The enterprising trades man on receiving some hundreds of birds from Lambton, made a magnificent array of them in front of his shop, and labelled them with large placard beaERg the le- gend, Shot by His Royal Hfghness the Prince of Wales." The result more than justified his originality, for before night fall every bird was sold.
 We have a King who cares neither for racing nor card playing, though he can hold his own at both if occasion requires. His majesty is too busy with affairs to spend much time at Newmarket, or Kemp
 
 ing late hours, and is fond. of reading aloud to the Queen after dinner. Now adays, therefore, a rubber of bridge is no longer a sin qua non. What then The first gentleman in the land" Is still the arbiter of fashion, and it is practically certainty that all except the real Ge- voices of the race course and card able will follow the new fashion, and find that there are other things in life of more consuming interest Hence, I think, he decline of racing and bridge in popular favor, about which peopleh ave been talk ing a good deal lately"
 All the delightful old world accom- plishments are being brought to the front by Queen Mary Her daughter Princess Mary, is also being initiated into them. Not only does the latter do drawn threadwork artistically, but she tats, em- broiders, composes old time samplers D and reads aloud with fuency and dis tinctiveness. The princess is said to be the best leader in the royal entourage. All unnecessary, and what the Queen re- gards IS "useless,' studies have been eliminated from the young princess s school room programme Her royal high ness has, however, been taught to keep carefully her own expenditure, and to balance it perfectly. From time to time she takes her account book to her moth 4r, to show how she has spent her allowance and so that Queen Mary may note if the addition of figures, etc, is correct. The princess is said to be of a careful turn in financial affairs, and her expenditure is always kept without bounds. Balances ill hand are invariably put into the bank ir which all her brothers have also ac- counts.

Hard To Handle HadIey.

1t has been well said of Governor
Hadley that he possesses courage
and frankness widely at variance with
the old-time partisans way of doing
things in this State" And it may be
said, with equal truth, that his courage
in politics and frankness in dealing
with all questions of public importance
have given him the confidence of the
people as their governor. While
loyal and devoted Republican he has
always kept in mind the fact that the
governor of all the people cannot
properly ignore or treat lightly the
minority parties. He has always been
fair in dealing with the Democrats as
partisans, but has had the courage to
oppose such Democratic doctrines or
policies as, in his judgement,
are not conductive to the gener-
al good. If; in advancing his personal
and political views, he has seriously
antagonized Democratic leaders he has
only played the part of a sincere Re
publican.
Why the blindly partisans Demo-
cratic leaders choose to misrepresent
and discount him as political leader
as an executive official is clear to those
who know what folly it would be, on
the part of such leaders, to attempt a
discount of his statesmanship, or to try
to rob him of the glory he has achievcd
in the performance of public duties.
They can only bark at his heels as he
strides forward.

McEIIigot.

Albert McElligott, the subject of
this sketch departed this life March 30th
at his fathers home in Gentra, Ark,
age % years and Q days.
The family formerly resided a few
miles northeast of Taneyville.
The cause of Alberts death was an
liberated tooth terminating in blood
poisoning. The family did not realize
the seriousness of his affection until
he was beyond human aid, was sick
only three days.
Albert was Christian young man,
his sister writes me that he lived true
to his profession since his conversion
at Roller school house year ago last
fall in a meeting held by the writer and
Bro. Buchanan. The last night of
the meeting he stopped out from the
other boys, and came to the altar of
prayer others following him, and at the
close of the happy service arose and
testified that he was saved. His letters
to me afterward denoted that he was
changed young man, and those that
know him best say that he so continued
to the end. A Cody life is the best
kind of funeral sermon, it witnesses to
those about US what we are and where
we have gone may the Lord bless and
comfort the bereaved loved ones that
mourn his departure, especially the
father, who for three months has been
ill. May this sudden falling of the
support of the family, prove in the
great end to be for the best for all.
Dearest Albert, than has left US,
And our loss we deeply feel,
But tbs God, who has bereft us,
| He will all our sorrows heal,
But again we hope to meet you
When our days of life are o'er
And in heaven we hope to greet the
Where no farewell tears are known

The Democrats in the Legislature
we're so busy with schemes to be put
up to Hadley" that they gave careless
consideration to the work of real legi.
Station. Several bills they passed were
of such doubtful meaning the governor
had to veto them. One was passed all
right but was not enrolled and thus
lost its place on the statue books. One
was re-enactment of law that has
been on the books four years and has
never been repealed. Several were
clearly unconstitutional. The scrutiny
of bills by Governor Hadley has been
necessarily careful and close because
of the evident carelessness of clerks in
enrolling important measures after their
hasty or careless enactment. Much of
the bad work done is attributed to the
inconvenience and confusion incident
to temporary quarters used by the
House and Senate after the destruction
of the capitol, but much of it was due
directly to carelessness.

The State Committee cannot defend
the interest of the elected Supreme
Court Judges and Superintendent of
Schools, in the contest proceedings,
without money; nor can the chairman
and committeeman supply the money.
Loyal Republicans throughout the
State must be relied upon to replenish
the fund for these contests. Not a
dollar is being spent unnecessarily. If
the proceedings are continued. as now
seems inevitable, several thousand
more will be needed to meet expendi-
lures for the defense. Any amount
you can send Immediately to Chas. D.
Morris, Chairman, Holland Building,
ST. Louis, will be greatefully appreciated.

Governor has nice little plan for
senate gerrymander' says headline
in the St. Louis Republic. The state
ment is erroneous. The Governor has
nice little plan to prevent a Senate
Grrymander. He wants legal, con-
stitutional, division of the counties and
cities of the state into senatorial dis
tricts. A Gerrymander is a partisan
division. That's what the Democrats
have planned and executed at the
beginning of every decade since 1880.

Your Best Friend.

ga man that hath friends show fredly.''
Proverbs xviii, %.
You've friend you have sorely neglected
The very best friend you possess,
He's the that is always expected
To shoulder your load Of distress
You have always been good to the other
Have lavished the kind word and smile;
You have made these strangers your brothers
Be good to yourself for while.
-4--s.------a~--e-----a---s-s4-ssAA
You have sacrificed time thought and money
For those who forgot it too soon
You have met them with countenance sunny.
When he would have thought it boon
If you'd only let him share your laughter
Instead of the weight of your bile
So remember your best friend hereafter
Be good to yourself for while
There many who lend or who borrow,
Who come collect repay;
There those who forget you tomorrow
Who greet you with handclasps today;
But he knows your WORTH and he only,
He knows all your merit and guile.
Don't you think that sometimes he's lonely?-
Be good to yourself for awhile.
Now, you know all the others completely,
AS though they were books your shelf;
But for long you've ignored him too neatly
Say, what do you know of yourself?
Is there anyone else who will struggle
To bring you success all the while2
Then why is it with life you would juggle9
Be good to yourself for awhile.
Just be good to yoursef-It will pay you,
You'll find when you're down your luck
And when everything wants to dsnay you
That he helps you out of the ruck.
So, today, with yourself get acquainted
Be free with your friendliest smile,
For you're not half as bad you're painted :
Be good to yourself for while.
