BEAUTIFUL SNOW.

-TsS ~ - wv W.
~ H, the snow, the beautiful snow
" ovs 5sS H. he , as.. .,'s over tn.
street,
Over the heads Of the people you meet,
Dancing, flirting, Swimming along,
Beautiful snow, it can do nothing wrong.
Flying to kiss a fair lady's cheek,
Clinging to lips In frolicsome freak,
Beautiful snow from the heavens above,
Pure as an angel and tickle as love.
oh, the snow, the beautiful snowl
How the flakes gather and laugh as they
Whirling about in it's maddening fun,
1t plays In its glee with every one.
Chasing, laughing, hurrying by,
1t lights up the face, and 1t sparkles the
eye,
And even the dogs, with a bark and a
bound,
Snap at the crystals that eddy around.
The town is alive and its heart in glow
How the wild crowd goes swaying along,
Hailing each other with humor and song!
How the gay sledges like meteors fly by,
Bright for a moment, then lost to the eye,
Ringing, swinging, dashing they go
over the crest of the beautiful snow,
Snow so pure when it falls from the sky,
To be trampled in mud by the crowd rush
ing by,
To be trampled and tracked by the thou
sands of feet
Till 1t blends with the filth in the horri-
BILE street.
Once was pure as the snow. but 1 fell
Fell like the snowfiakes. from heaven to
hell;
Fell to be trampled as filth on the street.
Fell to be scoffed, to be spit on and beat,
Pleading, cursing, dreading to die,
Selling my soul to whoever would buy.
Dealing in shame for morsel Of bread,
Hating the living and fearing the dead.
Merciful God, have fallen SO low?
And yet I was once like the beautiful
snow.
Once was fair as the beautiful snow,
With an eye like its crystal, a hair like its
glow.
Once was loved for my innocent grace,
Flattered and sought for the charms of
my face.
Father, mother, sister and all,
God and myself have lost by my fall.
The veriest wretch that goes shivering by
Will make a wide sweep lest wander too
nigh,
For all tnaL is on me OF ABOVE me KNOW
There Is nothing so pure as the beautiful
snow.
How strange Il should be that this beauti-
full snow
Should fall on sinner with nowhere to
go! &AH
II the snow and the ice struck my des-
perate brain,
Painting, freezing, dying alone,
Too wicked for prayer, too weak for
moan
To be heard in the streets of the crazy
town,
Gone mad in the JOY Of the snow coming
down,
To lie and to die I'm my terrible woe.
With a bed and shroud of the beautiful
snow.

SPECIMENS OF INTELLIGENT POULTRY
BREEDING.
a fact, there is more reason to sup
pose that the 200 egg commercial hen
Is coming.
This achievement with the hen is OF
more significance because it has come
so early in the history of intelligent
poultry breeding. Improvement Of the
dairy cow dates back almost cen
fury; improvement of the hen for egg
production is a matter of less than
generation. The ease with which con-
ditions surrounding the fowl can be
controlled and the rapidity with which
generations may be produced have, OF
course, made this quick Improvement
possible. Yet we know SO little of
the principles of breeding with respect
to fowls that the Optimist is justified
in predicting some startling records
for the future. when the real utility
hen is developed.
The pOultryman must be faithful to
his task. He needs to stick to plan
Of breeding with the same tenacity
that the early stOckmen used, and re-
suits will be just as surely fOrthcOm-
ing. The hen is no more subject to
chance than other live stock.

OFT IN THE SILLY NIGHT.

~ FIT in the Silly night =
II Ere slumber's chain has
bound me
~ Fond memory brings the
light
OF other days around me,
The smiles, the tears,
OF boyhood's years.
The words of love then spoken:
The eyes that shone.
Now dimmed and gone:
The cheerful hearts, now broken.
Thus in the Silly night
Ere slumber's chain has bound me
Sad memory brings the light
OF other days around me.
When I remember all
The friends so linked together
I've seen around me fall
Like leaves in wintry weather
/ feel like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but he departed.
Thus in the Silly night
Ere slumber's chain has bound me
Sad memory brings the light
OF other days around me.

visiting some of the districts lying

pleasure for US to note the many inn
provements which have been made
there since our last visit:
Last Friday night the whistle at
the planning mill of the Iron River
Lumber company was tied down for
five minutes. and the meaning was
evident to all who were aware that
the plant was to cease operations.
The lumber has all been shipped out
and while few men will still be
employed cleaning up around, the
work of handling lumber is thing
of the past.
At the adjourned annual school

office on Monday evening of this

which was for the common and
$4,000 for the high school. and this
amount was levied.
There is about $4,000 on hand,
and by using some of this and the
money which will be received
thru the indirect method of state
and county aid, then the Board will
be able to get along very nicely.
