RERuKE 70 MODERN DANCES.

When grandma danced the minute in
days long passed away,
1t differed greatly from the dance our
children have today;
To touch the finger tips of men was
terrible-oh hush
And brought the rose of modesty in
one consuming blush,
While in our modern ballroom floors
today, like as not,
Her grandchlld lopes her way into a
snorting turkey trot.
Also grandma when she was through
was ladylike and COOL
She cid not bear the look of one who'd
rassled with a mule;
The hair stayed right where it be-
longed upon that lady wise,
And did not tumble down her neck,
or string into her eyes;
But grandma now has passed away,
and maidens limp and hot
Despising minuet, slam in the festive
turkey trot,

Myself AND Me.

I'm the best pal that I ever had,
like to be with me;
I like to sit and tell myself
Things confdentially.
l often sit and ask me
If shouldn't or I should,
And I find that my advice to me
Is always pretty good.
I never got acquainted with
Myself till here of late.
And find myself a bully chap.
I treat me simply great.
I talk with me and walk with me
And show me right and wrong.
I never knew bow we'll myself
And me could get along.
1 never try and cheat me.
I'm as truthful as can be;
No matter what may come or 20,
I'm on the square with me.
It's great to know yourself and have
A pal that's all your own;
To be such company for yourself
You're never left alone.
You'll try and dodge the masses,
And you'll find a crowds a joke
If YOU only treat yourelf as well
As you treat other folk.

THE OLD SOUTH FARM.
BY II. E. HARMAN.

The tumult of the city shuts out the
stars o'erhead,
And mere a wayside blossom glows
along the paths men tread;
But way down home, where the whip
poor-will
Enchants the woods of June,
With lovers plaintive tune,
The night is soft and sweet and still
under the silver moon.
Beneath the lights of the city, l see
within it's glare
Sad hearts that throb beneath smile;
I see men drink the sparkling wine
and swear
Their JOY. But after while
Behold within the dimly-lighted room
The haggard face and stare
Where glowed the phantom smile is
gloom;
Where Joy was god, now rules the
ghost despair
III
But on the old South Farm in Caroline
There are few lights that shine
Within this night, save yonder stars
and moon;
And where the columbine
trails up it's dainty vine
Around the poplar's height,
A dream thrush's tune
Softens the perfumed night
Of June-of matchless June.
"
Lo when the dawn shall break
Down there in Caroline
No saddened hearts will wake;
For on each vale and meadow.way
and hill
The light of peace will shine
And wild, sweet notes the wooded
heights will shake
And every valley thrill.
For dawn brings he regrets for thee
and thine
Dear Old South Farm,
Way down in Caroline.

IF We KNEW.

If we knew the care and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain;
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim. eternal roughness
Seem-I wonder-just the same?
Should we helu where now We hinder,
Should We pity where we blame?
All, we Judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life'e hidden force,
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at it's source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
And we'd love each other better,
If we only understood;
Could we Judge all deeds by motives
That surrounds each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we Judge we should
We would love each other better,
If we only understood.
Could we Judge all deeds by motives,
Judge the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
All the while we loathe the sin,
Could we know the power of working
To o'erthrow integrity,
We should Judge each others errors
With more patient charity.

A British View.

London, July 21.-The Standard
prints an editorial on Politicians
and Their Pay" this morning, in
which 1t refers to the statement OF
William Jennings Bryan, the Amer.
ican Secretary of State, that he can.
not live on his salary of $4,000 a
year. The Standard says:
The poor mans champion has
discovered that he cannot subsist
satisfactorily on $4,000 a year. A
good many people in a good ,many
countries manage to be com
Portable on less than that amount
but since Mr. Bryan first took up So
cialism as a profession he has done

He has been making $4,000 ev-
cry year by denouncing the idle rich
III the Union cannot pay the same
scale he proposes to increase his
emoluments by private exertions, SO
he will go on tour again.
Washington is an expensive cap
ital, even if you only entertain on
lemonade, and William Jennings
Bryan, being man of business as
we'll as a patriot, has no fancy for
leaving his Office poorer than when
he entered it.
"One would suppose that public
business cannot be efficiently tran
sacted by persons whose energies are
so largely diverted to the task OF
making money.
Twelve thousand dollars a year
does not seem to be a wholly made
Guate allowance for gentleman
who a few years ago was reporter

The editorial concludes by saying:

fair profession in most countries, but
it is not and ought not to be short

Ship Trunks BY Rule.

Baggage is now shipped by rule
rather than by weight. The new
law is in effect against trunks meas
uring more than forty-five inches in
length or height.
The baggagemen of the country
are armed with rulers. If trunk
is suspected of exceeding the forty
five inch limit the trunk is measur-
ed. What amounts to fine is i'm
posed on trunks which do not come
within the limit. Every inch in ex-
cess of the standard length is charg-
ed for five pounds of excess baggage.
This is regardless of the number of
tickets. 1t costs twenty-five cents
extra to ship an extra inch of trunk
TO New York Five extra inches of
trunk from Decorah to n. Y. costs
S1.25. A sixty inch trunk will be
the same as seventy-fve pounds of
excess baggage and will cost 81 ex-

Editor Public Opinion
If it is not trespassing too much

the "Tenderfoot," in the west since
we left there June cath. The prin-

with Albert and his new wife in
Portland, Ore, and visit with the
Groves in Hotchkiss, Colo. We left

Omaha. After leaving Marion about
o'clock Tuesday night, we en-
countered terrific electrical storm

count of a washout on the railroad
We reached Omaha about noon We'd
nesday, and without making any
stop there, left for Denver. The ride
through Nebraska was rather mon
otonous, nothing but a vast rolling
prairie to look at although there was
an air of prosperity surrounding
farms along the way. The crops
were not nearly as forward as they
were in Iowa. After getting out in
to Idaho l met some gentlemen from
Nebraska, / told them thought they
were from the best state in the un-
ion next to Iowa, and as they had
previously lived in Iowa there was
DO chance for an argument. After
getting within about one hundred
miles of Denver the snow capped
peaks of the rockies began to loom
up in the distance, and from there

Motchkiss on the day we were ex
pected and to go through Grand

the Government of the United States

England has as great territorial

Declares Only Hope For American

Principles.
DEMOCRATIC DISCRIMINATION

1CHdlOI CumullHS, OpeuluS luC
tariff debate Saturday for the pro-
gressive republicans, declared that
the republican party lost the conf
dence of the people and was driv-
en- from power largely because it in
sisted upon the maintenance Of i'm
port duties, many of which were un-
necessarily and oppressively high" /"
"The democratic party" he as
serted, will soon be overtaken with
like disaster because it is about to
inflict upon the country tariff law
which, with respect to many things,
invites the perils of free trade, and
which, with respect to many others,
imposes duties that are dangerous
ly and destructively low and which,
from end to end, grievously dis
eliminates against the west in ia
vor of the east-that is to say in
favor of the manufacturer against
the farmer.
"The republican craft went down
iii the whirlpool of Scylia in 1912,
and its democratic successor is steer
ing straight for the rocks of Chary-
bdis, where, it will go to pieces in
the stress of 1916.
There is a passageway to safety
iun
publicans charted it in 1909 and
they will chart it again in 1918.
Some time the American people will
make the trip under these pilots

ctism and fortitude."
