The One Track Minds.

Ny mind is one-track railroad
Gov Woodrow Wilson to Col. Harvey.
Yon grocer who imagines eggs
Are always soaring up and up
How differently he begs
To differ-how he answers "Nup,"
When you have pointed out the fact
A drop in eggs is weIl-defined;
But there's no malice in his act
He merely has a one-track mind.
Your butcher, and your landlord, too
When meats and rents have fallen far.
It's quite surprising unto you
To find how ignorant they are;
Let not such trifles make you sore
Nor think their overcharges designed I;
A new idea comes slowly DER
A Wilson patent one-track mind.
And he who deals in coal or ice,
And has his weights in question
called;
Ne'er hint of scaling down his price
That train of thought full soon is
stalled;
Assault him not, nor call him fake
Denounce him not, with all his kind
N0ught will avail two tracks to make
Where Nature built one-track mind.

GOV. FOSS' ATTITUDE TOWARD

SOME COLLEGES.
Gov. Foss' attitude toward the Mas

herst, he having refused to approve an
appropriation of $4,000 for the insti-
tuition, is contrary to his attitude toward
agriculture in general, as he has been
speaking in favor of agricultural develop.
ment in the Bay state for some time.
II is admitted that the amount asked
for is very large, perhaps more than
Massachusetts, can afford to give at this
time; but when he tends to belittle the
work of the institution he raises the
question of doubt whether he really APP
preciates the situation and understands
what splendid work the Massachusetts,
Agricultural college is doing and is in a
position to do. a.
A somewhat similar doubt might have
been raised recently when Gov. Foss
spoke before the university of Vermont
alumni in Boston and advocated. among
other things, the union of Vermont's
three colleges to make a "real univer-
tity" of the state institution. BY so
declaring Gov. Foss disclosed a lack IF
knowledge of conditions about which he
was speaking. 1t is impracticable 10
