Come to me dear little children;
Dear little blossoms of light.
With your lovely flower faces
And eyes so pure and bright.
For the happy school BELLS ringing.
Do you hear It's call so sweet?
0 fark, to their merry voices
And their little noisy feet.
In through the eastern windows,
The sunbeams dance and fall
On the little rosy faces,
OF these blossoms o. and all.
They ca'ess the lips, like rosebuds
And the tiny teeth of pearl,
Of each laughing merry laddie,
OF each smiling little girl.
Fold your hands dear little children,
Let your bright eyes look in mine;
With what light they glow and
sparkle
And how earnestly they Shine.
Q sweet dark eyes, tender, loving,
0 eyes of merriest blue,
What will be the speech | utter
Brown eyes, gray eyes, now to you.
May | not, dear little children,
By the words ! now may say,
Mar thv lives or hasten sorrow,
Ger thy happy hearts to stray.
Weak am |. dear little children.
May / lead thy feet Alright
May / direct thee upward onward;
To that realm so pure and bright.
Fol- my feet to often falter;
Blindly stumbling on the way.
Help me God, to lead the children
Up the bright and shining way.
Thou didst bless the little children,
Keep them nov within thy fold,
While the morning sunbeams tender,
Gid dark tresses kiss the gold.

WATERING COWS IN THE BARN.
Successful Dairyman Rigs Up Port
able Tank, Large Enough for
Three Animals to Drink.

A successful dairyman recently out
lined to us his method of watering
the COWS in the barn, says the Ohio
Farmer. He objected to using the
long, continuous feed trough for wa
tering, his objections being that there
will be in the process considerable
evaporation into the atmosphere of
the barn. Damp air in the barn
means that it will be chilly. The evap-
GRAFTON from the cutters and radia.
ton from the COWS saturate the air
more than it should be without any
further addition from the trough.
To overcome that objection and yet
provide a means of watering in the
stall he had rugged a trough on low
wheels. This movable tank was so
constructed that it would run nicely
above the continuous feed trough. In
that way the cows can be watered in
a very short while without being
loosened from their stalls. The tank
was made long enough so that three
COWS could drink at a time. A man
may be sweeping the feedway at the
same time or doing other work while
moving this tank cart from time to
time.

FRozE HIS TONGUE TO POLE
Missouri Boy Offered All Kinds of Aid
by Crowds Freed and Goes

Independence, Mo.-Albert Antoine
Bundschu, nine years old, youngest
son of A. J. Bundschu, an Indepen-

1t came about as a result of trying to
test the adhesive power of cold iron in
ZerO weather.
With some schoolmates, young
Bundschu was passing a candy store
on West Maple avenue While some
went in and bought candy, Bundschu
stood on the sidewalk near an irsn
trolley pole. A sudden impulse seized
the boy to apply his tongue TO it.
He tried it. His tongue. remained
frozen to the iron, and all of his ef-
forts to get it loose were fruitless. A
crowd gathered. There We're many
suggestions. One man came running
with a bucket of cold water. which
he said was just the thing; warm wa
ter would never do" Another from
across the street snatched a teakettle
full Of boiling water from his stove
and came to the rescue.
Finally F. A. Schweers, proprietor
of the candy store, arrived with some
lukewarm water which was poured on
gradually, at the junction of the troll
ley pole and the boys tongue. Gradu-
ally the tongue came loose. Then the
boy went to the family physician for
treatment.

1t would startle a dairyman of 40

as prosperous as the old world looked

Another Holstein, Lunde Korndyke,
was a close second, with 26,192

which tested 1888 per cent, or q total
of 872 pounds butter fat: =
However, all good cows are not
Holsteins. Readers will recall the re.
markable record of the Guernsey COW,
Dolly Dimple. She produced 1s,8OS
paunds milk in a year which tested
out 878 pounds fat.
Jersey breeders have something to
brag about. Jacoba Irene produced
1928 pounds milk in a year, which
yielded 952 pounds butter fat. Anoth-
er Jersey COW. Olga 4th's. Pride, gave
1925 pounds milk, producing 81

revival service conducted by Rev.
Chambers Mannering, who converted
Dean early in the meetings. 1t vas
during the closing Of the services that
the deputy sheriff arose and said that
he intended to lay down his pistols
and take up the Bible.
There Is only one reason for the
delay. He Is not ready to assume his
role q preacher until he has closed
his career as an officer of the law by
oficiating at the hanging Of Henry
Coates, now in Jail at Osceola, Ark,
awaiting execution. Last April Coates
shot and killed Marshal r. l.. Fergus.
on OF this town. and SO seriously
wounded Bob Dean himself that he
lay in q Memphis, Tenn, hospital for
three weeks, his life hanging by a
thread. BY a special dispensation of
the governor, at the request of Sheriff
c. B. Hall, the latter official will re-
linquish his duty as sheritf on that oc-
oasion and allow Bob Dean to do the
hanging OF the man who wounded
him.
SO soon as his "ancient enemy Is
hanged Dean will take up his ministra-

buckshot from his shotgun. Both off,
GERS returned the fire, their shots
going wild. The second volley by
Goats, however, felled Dean, and an
other and instantly killed Ferguson,
whose body pitched headlong into the
river.
Five days later the dead body Of
Ferguson was found rs miles down
the river, and on the following day
came the news from the Tennessee
side that Coates had been captured.
During the trial of Coates Osceola
cooler heads prevailed, but even after
he was found guilty and sentenced to
hang mutterings became so loud
against him that he was taken to the
state pe%nitentiary for safe keeping.
His sentence affirmed by the supreme
court and upheld by the governor, the
entire county seems satisfied that ven.

year has receded, and declares tina,
