THE secret of success in life

Any one who suffer from con-

The Golden Rod.

written for the children.)
The October sun shone warm
and good,
On the golden rod, which
stately stood,
By the side of the road in cor
ners cool,
Where we passed on our way
to school.
The beautiful yellow golden rod
She bows her stately head
and mods,
And seems to say, oh this is
fine,
To stand out here in the glad
sunshine"
She seems to have no thought
of cold,
AS she bows her stately head
Of gold,
But the north winds come with
a rushing sound,
And turns her golden head
to brown.
Yes, the golden rods are turn
ing brown,
Their brightest sun will soon
be down,
Their golden days will soon be
past,
And the days Of brown be
come at last.
And soon their golden, fuzzy
heads
Will be turned to naught but
seed-pod beds,
Then quietly they will low
down,
And lay their heads upon the
ground.
And there they'll lie from year
to year,
When little plants from the
seeds viii appear,
All dressed in a beautiful en-
erald green.
Ard soon on them the buds
will be seen.
Ere long the buds will begin to
unfold,
And display the beautiful
heads of gold,
And their golden heads they'll Il
joyfally wave,
TO the children who Ger
their beauty rave.
Remember, when IN yoar hands
you hold,
These beautiful flowers with
heads Of gold,
Though field and roadside is
their bower,
They have been chosen our
National flower.

VEAL AND sEEr SHORTAGE.

To remove veal from the hotel
menus was advocated at a recent con-
vention OF western hotel men in Kan
sas City as one remedy for the pres
ent beef shortage in the Urited States.
A beef steer is but a grownup calf OF
course. The latter, dressed and ready
for the market, weighs perhaps so
pounds, Permit it to grow to matur-
ity, thus becoming beef, and it weighs
ZOO pounds or more when dressed It
is putting the case roughly and per-
haps inaccurately. but there is sub
stantial truth in the statement that
the slaughter of every calf not only
shortens the visible supply of cattle
by one, but is net loss of more than
6C9 pounds of food The loss would
be the more readily endured, perhaps,
were veal a really wholesome article
Of diet 1t is tender and tasteful, to
be sure, and much sought after by
many but indigestible and OF little
food value, There is hardly ques-
ton that the health OF the people
would be Distinctly better were this
meat absolutely banished from the ma
tional dietary. But the main con-
sideration supporting such a step Is
that a cessation of the demand for
veal might definitely stimulate the
growing Of cattle In every agricultural
community. The farmer, encouraged
to raise his calves, would provide him
self with facilities to do so, just as
In the days before the cattle business
was monopolized by the western
ranchmen, says the Newark News.
The cattle raising industry would be
distributed throughout the entire
country,

North Arkansas Furs.

More than So, 900 have been paid
out bv the local commission houses
up to Feb 1St for fur brought into
town by the trapperS who live along
the small streams near town. This
sum is important here because of the
fact that the country Immediately
surrounding Harrison is thoroughly
settled. Some f the furs, of course
were brought in from Newton county
and from the north end of Boone
county along Buffalo and White riv-
ers where the more valuable furs
bearing animals are found. Prob
ably $1,000 worth of furs have been
sold from Lead Hill in North Boone
this season, and it is believed that a
conservative estimate of the receipts
for furs shipped from Boone county
this winter would be 500 600, The
trappers could easily have almost
doubled their receipts, commission
men say, by waiting until Dec, lst
at the earliest b, fore the beginning
Of their work, Furs in this section
are not prime until about that time
and the extremely mild winter this
year has caused the capture Of many
furry creatures whose fure were not
full A petition is being circulated
now BY prominent trappers asking
for the passage of a bill prohibiting
the taking Of fur bearing animals be-
fore Dec /, Furs are scarcer here

That the Eiffel tower moves daily I'M
a vertical and horizontal sense has
long been beyond doubt Apart from
the scientific laws OF expansion and
contraction, which inevitably affected
It, one could see 1t during a gale sway
ing from side to side, says the Lon
don Telegraph, But It's vertical move
ments were mere matter OF con-
lecture until M, Gulllaume undertook
tc investigate them. He shows that
the great iron structure may vary an
inch In height every day. The eleVa-
tion or depression is not equally dis
tributed as only one of its sides may
be affected by the rise or fall Of the
temperature, and thus the tower may
be compared to a person shifting his
weight alternately from one foot to
the other.

The proposal to restrict deer huuts
ers to the killing Of bucks suggests the
question, How can grcenhorns, who
often shoot at men, mistakng them
for deer, manage to distinguish be-
tween a buck and doe?" A North
Wisconsin settler remarks that while
1t is an accident when a man is killed
for a deer and that is the end OF II,
there would be trouble when a doe
was mistaken for buck and shot by
a "redcap" The "redcap" would have
to pay fine II the game wardens got
him-and that might keep him out OF
the woods, says the Milwaukee Wis
consin, The settlers are glad when
the deer hunters are out Of the woods,
because then they can cut their win
