And the corn is shucked with care;
When the grease is in the griddle
And the syrup's in the jug;

Speaker Clark Urges Harmony.

"Get together and stay together. !"
This is the advice Speaker Champ
Clark said he would give the Demo
Gratis Of every community in the land
if he had the opportunity. He add
ed that it was the only instructions
that it would be necessary for the
rank and file of the Democracy to
follow to insure a great national
victory in 1912.
"Of course" ssid Mr.. Clark, 81
am taking it for granted that the
tariff is to be the chief issue. No
doubt the enemy would like to side
track that issue, but we must uot
permit it for an instant"
Mr.. Clark had just arrived at the
capital city preparatory to opening
the first regular session of the sixty
second Congress, and discussed the
political situation optimistally and
at considerable length
Looking back at the recent cleo
tion," said Mr.. Clark. "they demon
strated two things; one, that the
people endorse our tariff record
without doubt; two, that wherever
we are united we can wln."
after the Democrats in Congress
have gotten together and made such
splendid record for solidarity it
would be shame and a calamity to
lose in 1912 by reason of petty fact
ional fights of a local nature. l be-
lieve firmly that we can win in 1912,
but to do so there must be no fact
ional fighting among Democrats.
Consequently, hope that Demo
Gratis will forget their local differen-
ces and present united front. Now
is the time for them to get together
and stay together. &C. H. Taven-
ner.

TREE CISTERNS OF SUDAN.
The Natives Method OF Obtaining Wa.
ter In the Dry Season.

In view of the many suggestions
made for the bringing down of rain
it is interesting to note that in the
Gezira district 20 the south Of Khar-
tum whenever q droutil is threaten
ing all the children are sent into the
fie ds and are made to clap their
hands and shout vigorously.
The idea is that rain will be brought
down and the little boys and girls
are kept out IN che op&n at this game
until the wished for result has been
obtained. This year there have
been transforms in superabundance
in the district, so the children's in
terces>ion has not been required, or
perhaps the abnormal rainfall is due
TO their vigorous action in the past.
The latest Sudan Times gives a
most interesting account of one Of
the means of which the inhabitants
Of Kordofan provide themselves
with a copious water supply in that
arid springless region. 1t is nothing
more or less than the adansonia
digitata, called by the natives homr,
but commonly known as tebeldi.
These tebeldi trees are from 10 TO
25 feet in diameter, they grow to a
considerable height, with trunks
about 20 to 80 feet and fine branches
giving a vast amount of shade.
Strange to say, the trunks are nat
urally hollow and are thus used as
cisterns for the storage of water.
Should the cavities not be large
enough the natives scoop them out
further. An opening is made either
in the side Of the trunk near the top
or right at the top where the branch
es start. In the former case the
tree is filled with buckets from pools
which are dug at the foot of the
tree to collect the rainwater during
the rainy season. In the latter case
the tree is filled by nature when the
rain falls, the branches acting as
sort Of cutters.
At times the trees crack, but this
occurs very rarely, and the trunks
are no longer Of any Use as reser-
voirs. However, lately the resource
full native has adopted cement as a
means of stopping up the cracks and
a large number Of tebeldis has been
repaired in this manner. Curiously
enough the presence Of such a large
quantity of water in the trunk in
nowise impedes its growth and it is
certainly one of the most ingenious
devices of nature for circumventing
a natural difficulty.
Every cultivator has his tebeldi
tree. which is indispensable to his
work. These trees are looked upon
as personal property and on the
death of a land owner his tebeldls
pass as heirlooms to his sons.-Cairo
correspondent Pail Mall Gazette.

SIZE WORE PANTS FOR LOVE.
Bride Clad as Man Beats Way Across
Continent With Husband.

Beating" her way in mems cloth
ing across the contirent for love Of
the man she married four months
ago, and barred fro m any friend
ship with her own sex, Mrs Chris
tine McWiliams, 20 years old, rode
into Buffalo on the "bIind baggage"
of Lake Shore express from C!eve
land with her husband.
Then she was hauled from the
bumper of the first car, where she
had been sleeping in the arms Of
"Cass" McWilliams, who tried to
keep his girl wife and himself out
Of sight when the railroad detectives
came on them.
Coated with ice and exhausted,
they were taken from their precar-
ious position by the trainmen and
carried to flag shanty After the
pair had been thawed out the train
men began to ask questions. Then
it was that the identity Of the small
er of the two tramps was revealed
to the amazed railroaders. The
husband, anxious as to the condition
of his wife, asked that they be put
in charge Of the police to get proper
care.
McWilliams and his girl wife were
well cared for and then taken be-
fore Judge Judge and charged with
vagrancy.
Married four months ago in Los
Angeles to Christine Jamison, a pret-
ty school teacher, McWilliams had
a good job as structural steel work
er. Then came the laying off of
workmen, among them McWilliams.
He decided to strike for New York.

which stood between Mr.. and Mrs

they started on the journey across
the continent. From Los Angeles
they went to Kansas City; from Kan

north for Chicago, where they stay

they reached Cleveland. They left
the Ohio city and jumped on the

How About This?

We have been sent the following
puzzle by a subscriber which we
herewith give to our readers; and in
sending it he requested an answer:
"A man on this side of the river
has a fox and a goose and a peck Of
corn. He wishes to carry them across
the river, but can carry but one at
a time. If he takes the fox and
leaves the goose and the corn togeth'
er. the goose will eat the corn; if he
takes the corn and leaves the fox
and the goose together, the fox will
eat the goose; and if he takes the
goose across and then comes back
for the corn, the goose will eat it
and if he comes back for the fox,
the fox will eat the goose. Now,
how is he to get all three across and
vet carry only one at time?-Siler
City Grit.
That is easy enough to solve, as
even the school boys down this way
can do. He first carries the goose
across. Then he goes for the corn,
nutting that on the other side and
takes the goose back with him to
the starting point. Putting the goose
ont he takes the fox over to where
he left the corn, and then goes back
after the goose. In this way nelth-
or the goose and the corn nor the
fox and the goose are left on tie
same side of the river together.
