II is fitting to quote the following
poem. The sentiment of the poem
Originated in the action of the wo-
linen of Columbus, Miss, when they
| decorated alike the graves of the
Gray and Blue:
BY the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have
| fed.
Where the blades of the grave
| grass CULVER,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the one, the Blue;
Under the other, the Gray.
These, in the robings OF glory;
Those. in the gloom of defeat;
All, with hattle-blood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet
| Under the sod and the dew,
| Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the laurel, the Blue;
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mourners go,
| Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friends and the foe
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the roses, the Blue,
Under the lilies, tho Gray
So, with an equal splendor,
The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender
On the blossoms blooming for all
Under the aod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;

Sadly, but not with upbraiding,

In the storm OF the years that are

The overpowering influence of the
dollar has led the world to consent
to loan money to carry on war.
There is no reason why the money
changers of the world should be al
lowed to sit back and make money
out of carnage. A sentiment should
be created against having navy
used under any circumstances for
the collection of the debts of the
people.
A dollar Is worth more than a

prepare the hearts of men TO accept
the doctrine of human brotherhood
Then we will not kill one another

victories but those of peace; for no

wish to increase our prosperity, to
expand our trade. to grow in wealth,

The Horss For the Farmer.

Farmers need a balanced type of
horse. No kind OF work demands a
greater number Of qualifications In
hot weather and In cold. on good roads
and in mud. with light machinery or
an empty wagon and with the heavy
gang pillow or the big load Of corn. the
farm horse must cover a considerable
distance each working day. Weight
alone will not accomplish results any
more than win speed alone. Farm
horses to be efficient with modern
heavy machinery and loads must be
big. but the size must be combined
with a balanced conformation. Seven
teen hands IS a good height We
know that horses OF this height and
weighing around 1000 TO 1.S00 pounds
in moderate flesh can have active. grace
full locomotion. and they easily fatten
to weigh a ton.-Efreeders' Gazette.
