THE GREATEST BATTLESHIP

For the time being the stars and
stripes float over the greatest battle
ship aloat-the Texas, a SIC, 600, 900
giant of the seas which was launched
at Newport News. And a magnificent
monster she is, with a length of 537
feet, beam of slightly more than 80
feet, and a displacement of 2S,367 tons.
Larger in every way than any of the
fighting craft of foreign nations, the
Texas will be the first vessel to carry
14-inch guns, of which she will have
ten, and will be unique also in that
she will carry 5-inch rifles in place of
the 8 and 4 inch, which, as a rule,
equip the secondary batteries. All
people hope for the day of world peace
but so long as the nations of the earth
are going ahead increasing their arma'
ments from year to year it is crafty.
ing to Americans to know that we
have the greatest Of all ~battleships
And it is comforting also to know that
the massive warships was built in the
brief period of thirteen months.-New
York Tribune.

THE CANDIDATE

There's nothing cheerful on the
slate except the ~sanguine candidate.
His voice is heard on every breeze,
he lacks his pictures on the trees, hope
springs eternal in his breast and he
will never pause or rest. His blithe-
some spirit none can check until he
gets it in the neck,
The candidate, here's to his zeal!
and may he never cease to feel the
confidence ne must display and nour-
Ssh till election day. And when the
cruel hand of fate concludes its time
to demonstrate that he is not the
winning man, but only a weak also
ran, may he brace up and realize that
every one can't win a prize. The can
didate that tries and fails and when
defeat comes never quails, is Drawer
than the scary guy who is too coward
ly to try,
All Fools Day comes on April first,
but those who viii be fooled the worst
will be the bunch of also-rans on June
4, when all their plans are knocked
hell-west and set at naught and in the
landslide they are caught. Here's to
the man who in defeat can always
light upon his feet, and when knocked
I've has the grace to get up with a
smiling face.
Soon he'll turn from all this strife
and lead the quiet and simple life.
Out on the farm, beyond the din, he'll
put his rambo pumpkins in. He'll
milk the Poland-China COWS and herd
the large White Pekin sows; he'll
make nests for the Berkshire hens
and chase the turkeys to their dens.
"A farmers life is the life for me-"
he hoes the stately cabbage trees,
around his pig weed plants he digs,
and raises him a crop of pigs. He
buys a few hydraulic AIS and raises
Duroc Jersey lambs; he milks his
milk weed night and morn and Guilt
Yates his Holstein corn. Then let
the politicians fret and let the towns
go dry or wet, he'll till the soil and
raise the meat, and get all he wants
to eat. Frank C. Reed.
