Oliver Wendell Holmes once told
Professor Poulton he would never re-
peat to any one what Tennyson said to
him when he entered his house. Will

the assurance, "There are no reporters
here" But DR.. Holmes replied, with
emphasis: Il have said that l will ney-

BILL AND THE PAWN

THEY'VE got the PAWN finished. BILL
Except block or two;
They've left that little job until
It's not so hard to do. ,.
You see, the weather got 50 pad
(Which surely was a PITY
They gathered up the stuff they had'
And shipped it to Sioux City.
This pawn. Bill, was some surprise
For the folks along the street,
II made 'em open wide their eyes,
When the cost they had to meet:
Some fellers hollered themselves
Bout the dough they had to pay,
But they dug up every sou, Of course,
For there was no other way.
One TELLER said. "By gosh, look now,
What you are handin' me- ... ".
Just tell me when I've one lot, how
You make me pay for three"
So they took q pencil and a pad
And made figger after figger,
But he couldn't see and vowed they
had
In the wood pile some darned Niger
And. Bill, the people I've heard talk
About this job of PAWN,
Say It looks just like a big sidewalk
And what's the use of havin'
A strip each side Of every road,
Even wider than the track,
Where you've got to keep the grass
we'll moved
Till pains shoot up your back.
And then they've got along each side,
You see 'em on each corner,
A place you're apt to get slide
If you do you're sure q goner.
l saw a Teller fall there, Bill,
And just what he had to say,
l can't recall but st.. Peter Will
When it comes to the judgment day.
But, Bill, we're glad the pavin's in, =.
For it beats the mud all holler,
And tho it cost q bunch Of tin
Let's hope there's more to foller.
If the city dads made mistake
When they the job was lettin',
Forget it, Bill, for heavens sake,
For there's nothin gained by frettin'

Polk County People
Want Much Road Work

At the March meeting of the Polk
county court, adjourned on Friday,
several districts in widely separated
parts of the county asked the court
to pursue road development and con-
struction work or to assist the dis
tricts in paying for the work that is
needed to make the roads fit for travel.
The residents of the Mistletoe dis
trict, south of Dallas, presented a
petition signed by practically all the
property owners there, in addition to
large number of Dallas business
men, asking the court to appropriate
an amount equal to that guaranteed
by the petition for the purpose Of
grading and graveling the Samuel Is
hill. This hill has long been an OBJ
struction to traffic, and the progress

to have it done away with, Their

The Useful Shark

The shark is undoubtedly "dog with
bad NAME He is called appropriately
tiger of the seas, or the ''sailor's foe,"
or any other scurrilous name which happens
to be handy. Much mud is thrown at him,
and. as he seldom finds defender, most of
it sticks. Hard lines this! Because in real
ity this blue-water bogy is humble SER
want, who performs the duties connected
with the sanitation of the seas.
The shark is a common scavenger and
general undertaken of the ocean. He is
not, and for reasons connected with his very
moderate speed limit, never can be prim-
arily fish of prey. Open any captured shark,
and you will find clear proof that this is so.
A few tangled bits of yarn, a battered
canned-beef can, a corked bottle containing
an insulting message to the finder (thrown
overheard by some nautical wag), or a
sailors cap which has been lost in a gale all
tend to show that the shark is a fish of
business-like habits, with keen eye to any
chance windfalls which may come in his
way. But the more digestible contents of
his stomach, consisting mainly of carbon
of every kind, ALI give the clearest olfacto-
ry evidence that the original owners of
them were not alive-in fact, were very
much dead-when this marine sanitary in
spector came along and, condemning them
as nuisances, removed them into his own
internal refuse bin.
A large accumulation of carefully col
lected evidence on this point proves con-
clusively that there are, as matter of fact,
only two articles of this ordinary menu
which the shark is able to capture alive
namely, an occasional unwary sea-fowl
which he may happen to surprise asleep on
the surface of the water, and the ugly, oc-
topus-like ssuid whose limited powers of
locomotion gives chance to our hungry
four-knot prowler. Pearson S Magazine.

Killing Men Saves Birds

While men are destroying each other in
Europe, they are giving the wild creature a
respite. This is not philanthropy, but bust
ness-war business. Anyone who can
point gun must aim it at the enemy.
But the effect on the birds is all that the
most ardent Audubon society could desire.
France has prohibited all hunting and the
sale of native game. Ordinarily more than
one thousand tons of such game, nearly all
birds, are sold in French markets, not to
mention the quantity consumed by the
hunter.
Two million pounds of birds represent a
pretty heavy slaughter, and the absence OF
this destruction will help to repeople the
woods and fields with feathered folk.
Belgium, in normal times, exports more
than fifty thousand skylarks for food.
Since most of these are trapped it may be
that the destruction is not greatly lessened
in some parts of the country, but in or near
the war zone birds are immune.-Ex.

No Lack of Ambition

A piece in the paper last week reciting
the life story of successful man who had
died recently told that he worked his way
through school by washing dishes in a
restaurant.
"You don't find young men striving that
hard for an education these days. said a
man who had just got through reading it.
emo, the young men OF to-day are diff
ferent. All they think about is having a
good time" agreed his companion.
Is that true?
The Detroit News tells story about a
young man who entered this fall upon a
six-year medical course in the University of
Michigan, in Ann Arbor. After paying
his naturalization and registration fees he
had only three cents left. He had no
books, nothing to eat, no place to sleep
and he was stranger in the city. But he
has not missed an hour at his studies. He
found job picking apples for five cents a
bushel in an orchard seven miles away.
After school each day he walked out
picked apples by moonlight until midnight,
slept in barn, was up before dawn, picked
apples again until it was time to start walk
ing, the seven miles to school again, and
lived on one meal day. When the apples
were all picked he got job working around
the home of rich man, attending the
furnace, the garage and lawn, and sleeping
over stable. That young man will be a
good physician.
The same paper says that last year the
Y. M. c. A. provided jobs for 500 stud
ents at Ann Arbor, jobs meaning anything
from carrying ashes out of a cellar to wash
ing windows and raking lawns.
Young men to-day are just as ambitious
and energetic as they ever were; and these
days are just as good, and filled with
as many opportunities as were the "Good
old days of long ago." the passing of which
so many persons are in the habit of bemoan-
ing.-Kansas City Star.

Burdette on Missouri River

The dust blows out of the Missouri
River. 1t is the only river in the world
where the dust blows in great columns out
of the river bed. The catfish come up to
the surface to sneeze. From the great wide
stretching sandbars on the Kansas shore
great columns of dust and sand, about two
thousand feet high, comes whirling and
sweeping across the river and hide the
town, and sweep through the train and
makes everything so dry and gritty that
man can light a match on the roof of his
mouth. The Missouri River is composed
of six parts of sand and mud and four parts
of water. When the wind blows very hard
it dries the surface of the river and blows it
away in clouds of dust. 1t is just dreadful.
The natural color of the river is eal-brown,
but when it rains for two or three days at
time, and gets the river wet, it changes to
a heavy iron gray. A long rain will make
the river so thin that it can easily be poured
from one vessel to another, like cocktail.
When it is ordinary dry, however, it has to
be stirred with stick before you can pour
it out of anything, 1t has current of
about twenty-nine miles an hour and per-
haps the largest acreage of sandbars to the
square inch that was ever planted. Steam
boats run down the Missouri River. So do
newspaper correspondents. But if the river
is not fair to look upon, there is some of
the grandest country on either side of it the
sun ever shone upon. How such river
came to run through such a paradise is
more than l can understand

The Dragnet of the News

When Melville E. Stone, general manager
of The Associated Press, described for his
Franklin Institute audience the ramifying
intricacies of the far-fung system whereby
the news of the world is brought to the
breakfast table and the evening LAMPS, more
than one nearer was moved to exclaim,
"And l paid only two cents or cent to
get all that!'
The Associated Press pays So. 600, 900 a
year for that which any one may obtain for
next to NOTTINGHAM open letter from the
entire girth of the world each day of its
teeming, many-sided life. To this vast ex-
pense of the great wholesale agency of
news-gathering must be added the budget
of each newspaper that calls upon the long
and powerful arm of this auxiliary. The
cable dispatches and the kilograms must be
supplemented by the local effects of a small
army of faithful laborers, each man vigil
ant not merely for his own repute, but for
the making of the name of his journal.
The newspaper cannot begin to print all
1t receives. There must be ceaseless edit
ing and pruning and considerable condensa-
ton. The equivalent OF a large book each
day must be Manufactured, and the work
must generally be done at top speed in an
atmospheric intensity quite foreign to most
enterprises.
For no other expenditures of like
amount is value so considerable received.
A letter. to be sure, will travel across the
continent, or to England, for two cents.
But here is whole mailbag brought to the
door of each subscriber as ''the first thing
in the morning" the year round. The
newspaper is one of the many civilized ad-
vantages taken for granted, and sometimes
underestimate till one is deprived of them.
Then they are appreciated at their true
worth. Sometime in fit of Impotence
reader deprives himself of his newspaper,
sometimes circumstances prevent him from
receiving it, and then he discovers, perhaps
to his surprise. that by force of habit it has
become indispensable. The newspaper to-
day is not luxury, but necessity. 1t is
the staff of life to the wide-awake intelli-
gence, and is worth intellectually more than
the price costs.-Ex.

Cheering Someone On

Don't you mind about the triumphs,
Don't you worry after fame;
Don't you grieve about succeeding,
Let the future guard your name.
All the best in life's the simplest,
Love will last when wealth is gone;
Just be glad that you are living,
And keep cheering someone on.
Let your neighbors have the blossoms,
Let your comrades wear the crown;
Never mind the little et-backs
Nor the blows that knock you down.
You'll be there when they re forgotten
You'll be glad with youth and dawn,
If you just forget your troubles
And keep cheering someone on.
There's lot of sorrow round you,
Lots of lonesomeness and tears;
Lots of heartache and of worry
Through the shadows of the years.
And the world needs more than tri-
umphs;
More than all the swords we've drawn.
1t is hungering for the fellow
Who keeps cheering others on.
Let the wind around you whistle,
And the storms around you play;
You'll be there with Drawn and gristle
When the conquerors decay,
You'll be here in memories sweetened
In the souls you've saved from pawn
If you put aside the victories
And keep cheering someone on.
