THE LATE PoEr ANp rwo oE HIs YouNe ERLENps

James Whitcomb Riley was loved by the people of Indiana as was no other man." wrote Governor Ralston of Indiana after the sudden death of the well beloved poet. Tn an excep- tionally tender sense the people of his native state believed that he belonged to them, and they mourn-bitterly mourn-his passing. As governor of Indiana I am anxious that the people be afforded an opportunity to show the high respect in which they held this

Our School,

The school to which I go is painted white, and contains one room. On the west side there is an entry which goes the whole length of the school house. In front there is a hickory nut tree which yielded a goodly lot of nuts each year. On the south side there is some yellow lilies, and a ma pie tree which we planted on Arbor day.
 Inside the school there are the teachers desk, cupboard for books and fourteen double seats: but are only occupied by sixteen children.
 Our lessons are namely: Reading, arithmetic, spelling, language, history, geography, civics, physiology, music and drawing.

The Declaration of Independence.

The Declaration Of Independence.
 When the first gun of the Revolu- tion was fired Samuel Adams stood all most alone in his desire for the separa- ton of America from England. But later the wish for independence grew rapidly.
 The king had heaped insult on ln- jury; he had refused to hear the pe- titions sent to him by congress; he had called the colonists rebels and sent ships of war to burn their towns; and hired Hessians to make war on them

Blind Ewes.

This is a funny little game, enjoyed by everyone
 If one has never tried it, it is very amusing to find anything with your eyes shut or to guess distances.
 First place a piece of paper on the floor in front of you, shut your eyes, take two steps backward, then try to walk on the paper and pick it up.
 Then stick a pin in the wall about four feet up and try to pick it off blindfolded.
 Stand about four to six feet from a walk up to it without knocking against it.
 I hope the Wide-Awakes will enjoy this game.

Little Eva was sitting in the door way. The rain was almost over and the sun had begun to shine.
 Down the road came little Alice. Eva! Eva. Come qEick!" she cried. "On top of the hill is a beautiful thing all blue and red. Let us go and get it!" Away went the two children up the hill.
 Then they saw the bright thing far away on another hill.
 "Oh! How sad!" said little Alice. "It has moved away and we are all wet Let us run home and tell our mothers"
 When the mother of the two chiI- drcn heard their story, they looked at each other and laughed and said, The two children thought the rainbow was on the hill"

THE COUNTY AGENT
IS HERE TO STAY.

The county agent has come
to stay and every year the farm
ers welcome him in many sec
tions because they know that
his assistance is of value. His
duty covers wide field and
farmers everywhere have bene-
flied by his visits and advice.
He does not work out all tue
rural problems alone, but by
cooperation with the farmers
themselves is able to do his
best work.
If you have county agent
he needs your help as we'll as
you need him. Success will
come more rapidly by coopera-
ton. Some farmers have said
that they do not need a county
agent. Still there are 500
counties in the United States
that have adopted the system.
This alone is proof enough that
the county agent must be do
ing considerable good.-Farm-
ers' and Drovers' Journal.
