;o-the Land League is to be continued

They were unable to complete their
conference with the government Off
GERS yesterday.
What the forward d-to-the-land repre-
sentatives have in mind is a bureau of
land information that will be uncom-
nercial and which will make it pos
sible for every man to get facts about
land a statement issued by them last
night says that they are asking the
government To cooperate in broad
casting the right sort of land informa-
hon through such bureau. They be-
tcve that II is practicable to put a city
bred man on the land and convert him
into d successful farmer
They also believe that "it would be
pTactica Bile TO use large amounts of
philanthropic money 10 withdraw idle
land from the market and convert II
into ideal farming communities, in
which the inexperienced man might be
guided into productiveness"

Sleep and Poetry.
From the Columbus Journal.

rom the COlumDuS journal.
An exchange recommends the reading
of fine, soulfelt poem before retiring
for the nights rest. 1t tends to COM
pose the soul and put 1t in harmony
with the truth and goodness of things.
A novel will not do that, nor a news
paper. nor anything that sets the mind
in flutter. Reading poem-one of
the good old kind that gets into the
heart and has a nice time there, is like
floating down a quiet stream, past the
fragrance of flowers and the songs of
the birds. Never had that experience,
eh? How very shiftless, indeed.
Did you ever try reading Snow
bound on an evening when the snow
was piling up the silence deep and
white?'' Well, try it. Whittier will give
one something for any evening. Ten
nyson's Idyls are little more urgent,
but they are tranquillizing as a
gentle arm around you. Wordsworth is
great. but takes too much thought; !;
Browning. too, and Lowell, but Long
fellow not SO much. But as easy as
smiling is the humorous kind, like
Riley. But there are hundreds of poems
floating about as sweet as a bush of
roses. Take them in and read them
before going to bed. A good one will
last week. Like a song-they i'm
prove with age.
