Farewell

Farewell FAREWELL the hours of dull hard work
Those DAYS and hours which we would gladly shrk
With sleeves rolled up we toiled away
To make complete what send forth today.
So if we give shout or two,
What matters it to you
Our books farewell midnight oil is spent;
We brothers in a common cause have lent
All that we have of caustic fun and wit
If fun YOU fail to find, tbs not for lack Of it
And so with an approving pat upon our backs
We say farewell band of noisy quacks.
Before we part our little book we charge
Convey our greetings TO the world at large
To school board faculty school-mates and all,
To happy hours that in the past befell
To one and all a fond and last farewell.

1t is desired to drive the elk, with two
additional lines of cavalrymen strung
out along the course. A closing in OF
this circle must start the elk on the
course-and the unique race would be
on.
At a given signal the outriders
along the course would also move for
ward, keeping well in advance of the
fleeing herd. Detachments to serve as
relays for these riders would have to
be stationed at intervals along the
proposed route. and the surging, strug-

was reached.
Picture 10000 wild elk in full flight,

their revolvers into the air to further

People Of Fort Worth Send Appeal to
New York Charitable Associa-
tions-Chiidless Anxious.

Fort Worth, Tex.-Because the stork
is making few visits in Fort Worth
there is a big shortage in the local
baby market. To relieve this short
age the United Charities association
the other day announced that at the
request of many young married
couples charity associations in New
York had been written asking that a
car load of infants between the ages
of two months and three years be SEM
to Fort Worth. A carload Of &C New
York babies passed through here in
charge of nurses to Houston, where
homes already have been found for
them.
The United Charities association
tried to obtain a few of these, but the
demand in Houston was greater than
the supply, so Fort Worth has ordered
a car of it's own. Four months ago
several carloads of New York infants
were distributed at New Orleans.

KEEP BOYS ON FARM
English School Plans to Arouse

Twenty Youngsters Selected to Work

Ripley, England.-With a view to
Keeping them on the land and pre-
venting their entering the overcrowd-
ed clerking and allied professions in
towns. he school children of Ripley
are being taught to work on the land
as part of the school course.
The happiest and proudest boys in
Ripley at present are the 20 who have
been chosen u from the rest of their
fellows to work on the half acre OF
land which the Dowager Lady Love
lace has let to the local village school
authorities.
Twice a week these sturdy, bright
faced youngsters-all of them between
the ages of eleven and fourteen-take
their spades and forks and measuring
instruments and go out and work on
their plots under the superintendent
of their head master, William Blax-
land.
These embryo farmers and garden
ers have already fenced in their
ground, dug most of it up and por-
toned part of it off into square rod
allotments, have sowed the seeds and
planted the roots which will hence
forth be their special pride and care.
This work has been made a regu-
lar and serious part of the school cur
riculum." Mr.. BlaXland said, land its
object is to give the boys an intelli-
gent and, we hope, useful interest in
what should be their true sphere in
life.
I'VE want to keep them on the land.
to prevent them further o~vercrowding
those already hopelessly overcrowded
occupations of clerking and serving
in shops.
ITO a boy taught young enough and
properly trained there is more money
and a better life in farming and gar
dening than in the town work into
which he would probably drift.
Il think we shall succeed in our
aim, too. At any rate, all the boys are
tremendously keen on their digging.
and when they begin to see some
thing coming out of that digging they
should be keener still.
But it is not so much the how of
rmln tnat nope to teach them, but
rather the why
Most of the fathers here can teach
their sons the donkey work. but what
few of them can teach is the why and
wherefore of things.
The reasons of seasons, the science
of manuring, the rotation of crops
these and similar matters are what
few parents can touch on to their
boys. Indeed, most Of my pupils al
ready know more about the theory of
farming han their fathers do.
AT first We shall devote most of our
attention to vegetable growing-road
beans, runners, peas, onions and SO
on.
Then there will be flowers and
fruit boarders to attend to and, later

The impossible.

Andrew Carnegie, at a recent din
ner in New York, said Of a certain
labor trouble:
1T is silly Of employers to pretend
in these troubles that they are always
in the right. Employers are often
in the wrong; often unreasonable.
They often-like Mrs. S~mith-Jones-
ask impossible things:
Mrs. Smith-Jones, taking a villa
at Palm Beach, engaged for butler a
stately old colored deacon.
"'Now, Clay she said to the old
fellow, there are two things l must
insist upon-truthfulness and obedi-
ence.'

ant answered, and when yo' bids me

Salem, Ore.-At least 10000 elk
or they will die of starvation. For the
last few years the state of Wyoming
has been appropriating large sums for
hay to keep these animals from starv-
ing, and each winter finds conditions
worse. 1t is estimated that at least
5000 elk winter in the Jackson's
Hole country, a large area south OF
the Yellowstone National park. The
elk scatter during the summer months,
many of them grazing in the park, but
as winter approaches they converge
toward their old winter quarters.
These quarters we're ample before the
homesteader came to fence the lands.
The elk would feed on the rich grass
of the valleys in the fall, work up on
the sheltered hillsides in the winter,
and, when necessity urged, descend to
the creeks and browse among he
young willows and other foliage until
the spring grass came. The home
~steader's fence has made this impos-
sible now, and each year lessons the
amount of open range. The result is
that despite the large amount of feed
furnished them by the state, Zach win
ter sees an enormous death loss OF
this fast-disappearing game animal.
Driven to desperation by hunger,
the elk will break down the strongest
barbed-wire fence surrounding a hay
stack, and during a portion Of the win
ter the settlers must guard their hay
night and day. The elk have been
known to mount upon the fallen bodies
of their companions and thus climb to
the top of a t~hatched-roof shed. where
they would voraciously devour the rot

To attempt to drive them anywhere,
and in a band numbering thousands,
seems an impossible task, yet the gov

dence that this feat will be underta

prelude to what must undoubtedly
