A fireman was up for examination

rules and machinery, but during all

In the use Of fuel and oil, so that by

In critical position to see what he
might do in an emergency. So he put

sCHUYLER's TOY CANAL.
Il Made the Principle Of Locks cIsa
To the Dutchmen

II Made the Principle Of Locks Clear
to the putehmen.
It is not Known who first conceived
the magnificent idea of connecting by
canal Lake Erie with the Atlantic
ocean Experiments to improve the
navigation Of the Mohawk by means
Of small canals and locks had been
tried years before De witt Clinton
built the Erie canal. The purpose,
which was to connect Lake Ontario
through the Mohawk with the Hudson,
met with a formidable obstacle at Lit
tie falls, where the river descended
for a mile or two over series Of
rapids.
General Philip Schuyler of Revolu-
tionary fame had planned series Of
locks to overcome this descent of the
river. Knowing that the success Of
the project would depend upon the ia
vor with which the Dutch farmers,
settled near the river, received It, he
visited them. Calling a meeting at a
tavern, he unfolded his plan. The old
Dutchmen loved and honored Schuyler,
for he was the head Of an old Dutch
family They were delighted with
the prospect Of the commerce Of the
state sailing past their farms, but they
could not comprehend how boats could
ascend Little falls
The general by means of drawings
explained the principle Of locks. 1t
was in vain. The stolid Dutchmen
shook their heads, saying that they did
not believe word Of 1t. Water would
not run uphill, and it was useless for
the general to endeavor to make them
believe that 1t would.
The general went to bed mortified
at his failure. Turning over the thing
In his mind. happy thought suggest
ed itself. He arose, lighted a candle,
took a knife and few shingles and
went into the tavern yard. Digging q
miniature canal OF two different levels,
he connected them by lock Of shin
giles. Then he summoned the Dutch
men, who came grumbling at being
aroused from their slumbers. Pouring
water from a pail into the little canal,
he locked chip through from the low
er to the upper level
Veil, general, dot beats eferything"
exclaimed the astonished Dutchmen.
Now We understands und We goes init
you unit your canal!'-New York Press.

Tribute to .Sunny Jim"

A poem, entitled Sunny Jim" re-
ceived in the White House mail, Sc
impressed President Taft that he de-
cided to give it out for publication.
The composer is Marvin NJ. Taylor OF
Worcester, Mass, who accompanied It
with the following explanation of his
poetic flight:
1.-TWO days ago, while in New York
city, went into old Trinity church to
attend the midday services held there
every day for the business men and to
listen to the organ recital, also given
there. Just before entering the
church passed a banner flying across
thronging Broadway. Taft and Sher-
man banner; and it set me thinking
of the results of the recent election
and of the death of Vice President
Sherman SO short a time ago. While
the master at the organ was playing,
wrote upon scrap of paper. in the
dim light of this famous old church,
the inclosed lines.
Knowing the esteem and love
which you had for Mr.. Sherman, I
venture, with great hesitation, to send
them to you"
The poem follows:
SUNNY JIM.
Tribute of tributes,
That after the strife
OF an earnest and brave and strenu-
Gus life,
With the failures and triumphs which
came to him,
He still should be known as
Sunny jim"
Praise of all praise,
That through all the time
From childhood's joys to manhood's
prime,
The gladness of childhood stayed
with him,
And he remained always
Sunny Jim"
Wreath OF all wreaths,
That through the tense stress
That surges around the road to sue
cess,
None whom he had crushed did hiss
at him,
But his fellows all called him
Sunny JIM.
Crown of all crowns,
That in his home.
From wedding day till the last days
gloam
ChivaIrous love dirnmed not in him,
But he was the same true
Sunny jim.

over commonplace
That afternoon Abbie baked a cake. She
cut all the geranium blooms from her

polished it; took a nap and a bath and
put on her prettiest gown; lighted lamp,
laid Charles favorite book beside it, and

But I'm simply all in, and I'm afraid
you're not in mood to be sympathetic.
You can come If you want to. But 1
fancy you'd better stay away"
Suddenly Abbie saw her husband as he
really was, martyr to her selrshheSs-
She had not shared his burdens she
had expected to continue her gay life,
but she had taken from him all his boy
hood She remembered how enthusiastic
he had been in the days of their engage
ment, how his strength had been a de-
light for her to lean on. But she had
leaned too much
She sat UP very late to write an answer
to that letter.
'T am not coming to mothers" she
said. II don't deserve a holiday. And
you do. jamie and I are going to clean
house, and have a lovely time doing it.
I've been a selfish pig, dear boy, but
when you come back it won't be to a
house but to a homeland I'm going TO
give up the seasons opera tickets and
get load of logs for the fireplace. And
please don't think it will be sacrifice,
for the music my heart will sing, when L
see you sitting there, all rested and happy
and toasting your dear old toes, Will
mean more to me than the sextet from

She said more than that-tender, init
mate things which made her husband s
eyes grow dim as he read.
I'm going back he said to Abbie' 8
mother. ut isn't fair to leave her alone. :
But Abbie's mother shook her head
wisely. "You let her stay, she said.
She's had her lesson, and the more she
studies it, the better she will know it. 1
knew things were going wrong. That S
why 1 wrote her. You had to get rested,
and she had to be walked up. Abbies a
woman, not a child, and she's got to
learn it,
''She's darling" said Abbie's husband,
and he sat down and wrote letter which
made Abbie run out and say to jamie,
with all her love in her shining eyes,
Mr. chester will stay week, and then
I'm going up, and we are going to have
our honeymoon all over again, and when
we come back here-oh, jamie, it's going
to be just as if we were first married

THE To-BE-PITIED FARMER,

The home duties of the farmer and
his wife have been tossed and kicked
about this week. First came the De-
partment of Agriculture with the
statement that farmers wives were
lazy. Now comes the Wisconsin COM
missioner of immigration with the
sting that the poetic sentiment rela-
tive to the back to the land move
ment is all bosh-
In the meantime the farmer is aris-
ing at his regular hour in the morning
with a ravenous appetite, eats a
breakfast that would cost two dollars
in the city, attends to his regular ex-
pected duties, sits down to a banquet
at noon, drives to town in his motor
car in the afternoon, brings back his
figures inside, a few more chores, into
the house for supper, a glance at his
newspapers and farm journals, a pan
of apples and then into bed with slum-
Der closing his eyes as soon as his
shoes slip under the bed.
No great white way, it is true. No
critical witnessing of a pink tights
musical comedy. No supper after the
theater, with sparkling wines, bril-
liant women and red faced gentlemen
No sir, none of this excitement for the
wrinkle-fisted, thick-chested agri-
culturist.
There are other things the farmer
misses. He does not enjoy the frag-
lance of factory smoke, sewer gas and
confined gasoline fumes. He does not
