TWO MORE WET YEARS.

According TO information given by
a weather observer of Missouri, VINO
has kept a careful data since 1869,
farmers may expect another wet
season next summer and one also the
year following e
1t is claimed that around the dry
years there were usually clustered
good crops But lately on dry years
corn has been failing, especially in
1894, 1901, 1911, 1918 and 1914. 1t Is
said that the seasons tend to so in
triads, three wet seasons with three
dry. or more or less normal with an
extra year to complete the cycle.
Farmers need not feel worried about
the two wet years ahead, because they
may be good crop years.
A record OF wet and dry years since
1869 follows:
1S69-The year of the great eclipse
of the sun; very wet, corn woody and

THE SPIDER.

THE SPIDER.
Thou knowest nought OF measure
ment or law
OF radius to its circumference;
And yet in sector or in arc no flaw
Betrays crude workmanship or lg-
norance.
Thou spinnest well thy web. Taut are
the ropes
On which each delicately woven
thread
AS frail and perishable as mans
hopes,
And glowing with false tints, like
dreams-tS spread.
The arcs sink concave from the
wheels straight rays,
AS soft winds blow the rainbow
threads, loose strung,
Across the web white winged crea-
ture strays;
From its soft bulk the life stream
soon Is wrung.
And thou who buildest as no man can
build,
Canst frame thy dwelling, weave its
tapestries
Light as the dew from fairies breath
distilled
And tinted with the dew drops
mysteries,
Hast used thy art to sna1e thy prey!
IT'S done!
AN ends in self which has in self be-
gun; .M
Thou rollst up thy web which thou
hast spun,
And diest in the passing Of sun.

Mr.. Chairman, gentlemen Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, ladies and gen
tlemen: bid you very cordial welcome
to the capital Of the nation: and yet 1
feel that 1t is not necessary to bid you
welcome here, because you know that the
welcome is always warm and always wait
ing for you.
One could not stand in this presence
without many moving thoughts. 1t is
singular thing that men Of single
generation should have witnessed what
you have witnessed in the crowded fifty
years which you celebrate tonight. You
took part when you were young men in a
struggle the meaning of which, l dare say
you thought would not be revealed during
your lifetime, and yet more has happened
in the making Of this nation in your life
time than has ever happened in the maxi
ing of any other nation in the-lfetime
of dozen generations
The nation in which you now live is
rot the nation for whose union you fought.
You have seen many things which have
made this nation one of the representative
nations of the world with regard to the
modern spirit of that world, AND you have
the satisfaction, which / dare say few
soldiers have ever had, of looking back
upon war absolutely unique in this, that
instead of destroying it healed that in
stead of making a permanent division it
made a permanent union.
You have seen something more inter-

free for that great career of develop
ment. OF unhampered development.
which the world has witnessed since
the civil war.
But for my own part I would not be
proud of the extraordinary physical
development of this country. of its ex-
traordinary development in material
wealth and financial power, did l not
believe that the people of the United
States wished all of this power de-
voted to ideal ends.
There have been other nations as
ricn as We: there have been other ma
lions as powerful; there have been
other nations as spirited: but 1 hope
we shall never forget that We created
this nation not to serve ourselves. but
to serve mankind.
1 love this country because it Is my
home. but every man loves his home.
1t does not suffice that 1 should be at
tached to it because it contains the
places and persons whom l love, be-
cause it contains the threads of my
own life That does not suffice for
patriotic duty. I should also love it.
and I hope l do love it. as a great in
strument for the uplift of mankind,
and what You gentlemen have to re-
mind US of as you look back through
lifetime to the great war in which
you took part is that YOU fought that
this instrument meant for the service
of mankind should not be impaired.
either in it's material or in its spiritual
power.
/ hope I may say without even an
Implication of criticism upon any other

esting than that. because there is q sense
in which the things Of the heart are more
interesting than the things Of the mind.
This nation was from the beginning a
spiritual enterprise, and you have seen
the spirits Of the two once divided sec
tons Of this country absolutely united.
A war which seemed as II 1t had the seed
Of every kind Of bitterness in 1t has seen
a single generation put bitterness ALSO
lutely out of its heart, and you feel, as l
am sure the men who fought against you
feel, that you were comrades even then,
though you did not know it, and that now
you know that you are comrades In a
common love for a country which you
are equally eager to serve.
This is a miracle of the spirit, so
far as national history is concerned.
This is one of the very few wars in
which in one sense everybody en-
gagged may take pride. Some wars are
to be regretted, some wars mar the
annals of history. but some wars con-
trasted with those make those annals
distinguished, show that the spirit of
man sometimes springs to great en-
terprises that are even greater than
his own mind had conceived.
So it seems to me that standing in a
presence like this no man, whether he
be in the public service or in the
inks Of nrivate citizens merely, can
fail to feel the challenge to his own
Geart; can fail to feel the challenge to
a new conservation to the things that
we all believe in. The thing that sinks
deepest in my heart as / try to realize
the memories that must be crowding
upon you is this: You set the nation
