KINGDOM OF BOYHOOD

This is the reason of the year when near
" every man yearns to be boy again.
We would like to strip ourselves OF
the cares and responsibilities, take OFT our
shoes and go bare-footed down the leaty
lanes of ioydom. The water is fine and
away we go to the OF swimmin' hole, there
to pass the happy, golden hours in the tepld
water Or. firing of diving and doing fancy
swimming stunts, we haul fish line out OF
our pocket, put on an old hook, cut willow
pole. and angle for bullheads. And all the
while the sun is shining gloriously and the
green fields and the blue sky blend in one
grand symphony of colors. School books
are forgotten, the teacher is dismissed from
the mind, and there is nothing to do but to
enjoy ones self in happy, careless fashlon.
The Kingdom of Boyhood! 1t IS a Kingdom
with the artificial left out, and the natural
reigning a kingdom without snobs and snob-
bishness. It is kingdom worth WHILE

But to fight and to fight when hopes OUT

Why, that's the best game OF them all
And though you come out OF each gruelllng
bout
All broken and beaten and Scared,
Inst have one more try-it's dead easy to die,
It's the keeping -on-living that's hard.

Silage Fourteen Years Old.

O. W.,Righter, an Indian farmer,
reports that he placed well-matured
corn in concrete silo Ia years ago
and emptied the bottom of the silo
last July. Mr.. Fighter says the only
difference he was able to detect be-
tween the IA and the 1.year-old silage
was that the former was slightly more
acid than the latter. The cattle ate
old and new silage alike. A very inn
portant fact in connection with the
silage keeping SO well is that the corn
was ripe when it was placed in the
silo. incidentally the silo was q home
made one, the base Of which was s
feet below the surface Of the ground
line. Such q construction with ma
ture corn well packed would almost
insure good silage for several years.

Packing Firms Must Pay.

Jefferson City, NO., May 3.-The

ruled the motion for a rehearing in
the case of the state against certain
packing firms on charge Of violating
the state antitrust laws. In the
original suit the packers were fined
SIS, 900 each, and this decision they
sought to have set aside.
The packing firms involved were
Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Morris
& Co., the Hammond Packing Com
pany an the St. Louis Dressed Beef
and Provision Company.
The packers sought a rehearing on
the ground that as the original de-
cision was given by division of the
supreme court no majority opinion
was obtained.

FAMOUS WILL CASE ON TRIAL
Suit Against Heirs Of the Late James
Campbell Proceeding Slowly at
st. Louis.

The story of how the late James
Campbell, millionaire traction mag.
nate, rode on the cowcatcher of the
locomotive of his private train in
search for Lois Campbell, when she, as
child, fell from the train, was told in
the circuit court at St. Louis in the
trial to test the validity of Campbell's
will.
The story was part of the testimony
of William F. Reed, private secretary
of Mr.. Campbell, intended to show the
devotion of Mr.. Campbell for Lois,
now Mrs. Elzey Burkham, whose par
entage is the vital issue in the trial.
In a will which alluded to Lois as his
daughter, Campbell gave her and his
widow, Mrs. Florence Campbell, his en-
tire estate valued at $16,000,000. Con-
testants of the will claim that Mrs.
Burkham is only the adopted child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell and therefore
not entitled to a life interest in half
the estate.
Reed repeated the testimony of 9TH
er witnesses for the defense that Mrs.
Campbell bore the physical appearance
of a woman about to become a mother
