0nscrib%a to Chapine.) Within the quay the tall ships ride With the trade winds in their spars, Waiting to call with the turn of the tide Down through the outer bars.r And, stronger than ever was the lure of
 gold
 Is the spell of the laundering sea, When the green waves pound on the .ech-
 oing hold
 And the white-caps rush to the lee. Through the Seven Seas I have fought
 my days;
 Through mutiny, storms and calms, Till I ran my ship on the Colon ways And you came to me under the palms. And am a-weary. Oh, Rose of the South. Of wandering the wide world drought But make me forget with'the kiss of your
 mouth, Lest the sea call me away from you.

I Knew It Was Spring

knew it was Spring by the glow in the sky
 When the sun had gone over the rim of the West. The glory of day was reluctant to die, And the shadow of night was a while dispossessed. A wonderful softness was lingering there, And by the sweet paean my heart was to sing Of what things are lovely, and what things are fair,
 l knew it was Spring. I knew it was Spring by the thirst of mine eyes For wine that upstreamed from the westering sun, And warned the dark frown of the des- plate skies Across the bleak world when the night was begun. A wv1derful redness had come to the West, To heightca the beauty of everything And thrilled with the sight of that augury blest,
 I knew it was Spring.

Millet's Versatility

There is one field in which MT Millet- among his numerous avocations-has pc culiarly excelled; the rendering by very skillful but unasSertive technique of mel low, restful, picturesque, human situa- tions-incidents and conditions in which there is a touch of humor. possibly of Quaintness. cheerful, subtle. suggestive. The heroic and the passionate are far away-the theme may be nearly common
 place, but the rendering must be with that selection and rejecting and refining which makes art: there may be little pathos or sentiment, mingled with the humor,. but the work must be mellow and the workman must have excellent in-

Don't Live in a Sealed Bottle

By a. Physician.
 Here's a little experiment that folks who don't take any stock in fresh air talk would do well to try.
 Take a wide mouthed bottle and lit- tie wax candle, Christmas tree candle will do. Light the candle and lower it in the bottle. Then cork the bottle.
 In few seconds the candle will go out. What happens? The same thing that would happen to you if you were corlSed up in a bottle big enough to hold you. The light simply dies of lack of oxygen.
 Every day your lungs require over a hundred barrels of air. Not the same barrel of air over and over again, but ONE HUNDRED. DIFFERENT BAR REELS OF AIR.
 The moral is:
 Don't cork your house up like bot tle"

mare called house cleaning. Everything was torn up and for one frantic week, at least, there was no comfort to be had. Now house cleaning is managed with more ease, for there have been countless inventions to simplify 1t, and also the modern housekeeper uses the simple expe- dient of having one room at a time cleaned so that the whole is accom- plished without wear and tear and the family is allowed to feel that home is still home.
 Simplify wherever you can. Change the pictures about a bit and put up some new simple prints in place of some of the old ones for a change. Banish useless bric-abrac for a few well chosen and well placed ornaments are worth more, from an artistic point of view, than motley array of small jugs and vases. Put away as much as possible. leaving out bowls and vases for flowers. and let them be the chief summer ornaments It will also make the boresome work of dusting easier"

Some Don'ts for You to
 Remember

Don't grumble about the food; it won't improve 1t any and will spoil your diges- ton.
 Don't whine when you speak; a cheer ful voice is a great charm.
 Don't say that's always the way" when things go wrong; try to do better next time.
 Don't wish you were rich; work hard and try to earn enough
 Don't be clever at the expense of a friend; wit is not worth the loss of affec- ton.
 Don't be angry if some one plays a joke on you; it takes away the sting to laugh.
 Qon't neglect the little courtesies of life; altogether they make up much happiness.

DR.. Egan Discusses Lack of Stock Laws

Springfield, H., Oct 23-The i'm
portation Of cattle afflicted with tuber-
culosis into Illinois, is discussed in
the recent bulletin of the state board
of health by DR.. James A Egan, its
editor, who points out the lack of
power of the state board of live stock
commissioners under existing laws,
and shows the attempts made by Gov
ernor Deneen TO secure the passage
of bills correcting the defects in
the laws.
Doctor Egan advocates greater pow
ers for the live stock commission,
so that Illinois will no longer be
classed as the dumping ground of
tuberculous cattle.
His article reads as follows:
THE majOrity-indeed, nearly all
states, have laws designed to prevent
the importation of tuberculous cattle
The notable exceptions in the middle
west are Ohio and Illinois.
Governor Deneen devoted much at
tentiOn 10 this matter in his biennial
message TO the 46th general assem-
bly, in 1909, and recommended that
measures correcting the defects in
the laws OF Illinois be passed by the
general assembly. Bills on this line
were introduced, but none became a
law.
Again, in 1911, Governor Deneen
dwelt on the matter in his message
to the 47th general assembly, and
recommended that laws be enacted
preventing the importation Of tuber.
culous cattle into the state" Con.
tinuing, Deneen said:
'Thirty-three states have laws
bearing on this subject preventing
the importation of cattle afflicted with
tuberculosis. Illinois is without such
protection, and has been made the
dumping ground of such cattle from
other states
AS in 1909, bills embodying the
recommendations of Governor Deneeu

advise the enactment of law giving
the state board of live stock COM
missioners power to condemn tubercu-
lous cattle found in the state-with
ample facilities for carrying out the
provisions of the law-and to prevent
the entry of diseased cattle from 9TH
er states.
I'VE advocate the intelligent use of
tuberculin,' to quote from Governor
Deneen's message-and this calls for
its application by a skilled veterinar.
ian, at the proper time and the prop
er place and under proper conditions.
But as stated by the London Lancet,
in approving of our position on the
administration of tuberculin, it would
be unwise to rely on this test alone,
when attempting to fix upon the dan
gerous tuberculous cow The test is
too easily negatived by the unscrupu-
lous dairyman or shipper-as also by
the incompetent or careless veterinar-
ian-and even though intelligently
used, it fails in many instances to
disclose the presence of tuberculosis
in a COW having a generalized infec
ton and passing tubercle bacilli in
her milk.
in our opinion, the law should pro-
vide not only for the tuberculin test
when necessary, but also for a physi-
cal examination by thoroughly quail
fed veterinarian working under state
supervision"

There should always be some one an
the home who understands the princi-
pie of first aid in injury''-some one
who can clean a wound. stop bleeding
and apply bandage.
Even the simplest wounds-where
any blood flows-should be given
prompt and scientific attention. This
does not mean that every home should
have a trained surgeon. The following
ten emergency hints should be memo
rized:
Stop the bleeding il severe
Do not touch an open wound with
the fingers.
Note the nature Of the injuries and
put the injured person in a comfortable
place and position.
Summon a surgeon
Do not disturb blood clots.
Never probe for a bullet
Pick shreds of clothing and splinters
or dirt from a wound.
Then bring the edges of the wound
together, but without touching them.
Pack the wound with gauze or abb
sorbent cotton and apply bandage.

other from DR.. Eli Bradford and a
third from DR.. A. H. Arp, his attend
ing physicians, who corroborated the
statement in the first affidavit as to his
present serious condition. Attorney
Converse stated that he was in no DO
sition to controvert the affidavits, but
he objected to the buckets of blood and
narrowing details contained therein,
and stated that in the next issue of his
paper aftpr he was indicted Looney had
stated that the proceedings in the
United States court were rip-roaring
farce and it had done him an honor
by indicting him. Owing to the har-
rowing manner in which his affidavit
had been worked up, the prosecuting
attorney requested that it be stricken
from the files and that those of the
doctors be allowed to stand.
Attorney McGrath then stated that
he had not seen Looney, but that his
affidavit had been drawn up by Looney
himself, and that, as his attorney. he
CMcGrath) had prepared a shorter
one and presented it, When this had
been read, the court ordered the orig
inal Looney affidavit to be stricken
from the files and the shol ter one sub
stituted, and then granted the contfnu-
ance until the April term.
NO INTEREST, SAYS JORDAN,
Attorney McGrath then presented an
affidavit from Myron Jordan, contrib
uting editor to the Rock Island News.
which set forth that he had no inter-
est in the paper, was not responsible
for copies of it being sent through the
mails; that Looney would testify to
those facts if he were present. and that
owing to LOoney's absence he could
not safely go to trial, and consequent
ly desired a continuance also.
Attorney Converse said he would ad-
NIT that Looney would testify to those
statements if he were present, but he
would not admit their truth. and with
that statement the court denied the
motion for a continuance and ordered
the case to be tried.
