We will turn to trusty Teddy"
For he Is ruff and ready,
Just like . ZTaylor was of old;
He's giant in the battle,
Makes the'cannon belch and rattle;
He'll paint a German picture on
the scroll.
Hes hero and he's fractions.
Lives notsias theory but in pratice
He has occupied places bigh and
low:
If he has thing to view,
He will look it through and
through,
He's the man to send to Europe
let him go.
When we needed heavy ditching,
Till our nerves were twitching,
To let all the big ships through;
He didn't hem or haw,
But created Panama.
If you want an active general
turn him through.

OfInterest to Cattle Dippers.

A dispatch from Jackson, Miss.
to the Commercial-Appeal says !:
Frank Robinson, assistant attor-
general, in an opinion rem
dered to E. L. Dent, attorney to
the supervisor of Covington coun-
ty. holds that chapter 222 Of 1914,
which provides that boards of su-
pervisors in any county in which
the dipping of cattle has been
conducted under the authority of
the board of supervisors, are au-
thorized to pay for such losses as
are complained Of" is still in eff
feet and is not nullified or weak
ened by the statewide compulsory
dipping act of 1916, which is chap
ter 317 of the laws of 1916.
There can be no good reason
why the Legislature intended tc
give the boards of supervisors au.
thority only in such counties a:
may have initiated the dipping o.
cattle, and not extend the provis
ons OF chapter 222 of 1914 to
counties coming in under the state
wide act.'

Brilliant Writing of the La
mented George Prentice.

The fat of nature is inexora
ble. There is no appeal for relief
of the great law which dooms us
to dust. we flourish and fade as
the leaves of the forest. and the
flowers that bloom and wither in a
day have no frazier hold upon life
than the mightiest monarch who
ever shook the earth with his
footsteps. Generations of men
will appear and disappear as the
grass, and the multitude that
throng the world today will disap-
pear as the footsteps on the shore.
Men seldom think of the great
event of death until the shadows
fall across their own pathway,
hiding from their eyes the faces
of loved ones whose living smile
was the sunlight. of their exist
ence. DEATH is the ANTAGoNIsTIc
OF LIFE, and the thought of the
tomb Is the skeleton of the feasts
We do not want to go through the
dark valley. although its dark
passage may lead to paradise; we
do not want to lie down in the dark
grave, even with princes for bed
fellows. In the beautiful drama
of Ion, the hope of Immortality,
so eloquently uttered by the death
devoted Greek, finds deep response
in the every thoughtful soul.
When about to yield his young ex
istence as a sacrifice of fate. his
Clemanthe asks if they should meet
again, to which he replies i
have asked that dreadful question
of the hills. that look eternal-of
the clear streams that flow forever
--of the stars among whose fields
Of azure my raised spirits have
walked in glory. All were dumb,
but as / gaze upon thy living face,
/ feel that there is something IL,
the love that mantles through IL
beauty that cannot wholly perish
We shall meet again, Clemanthe. -

The Hay Rack Ride.

The ride. like many other
fond paslimes, is caught in the
whirl of mechanical revolution,
and must eventually pass from
custom. Toledo Blade.
Time was when yellow harvest
moons
Their glamor used to hold
When sweeping mist and frosty
air
The timid heart made bold
And, All to feel the slender form
A nesting at ones side
And, All to feel the magic of
The old time hay-rack ride
Time was when beat of horses
feet
Upon the hard highIoad
Was music to the youthful hearts
That formeO the hay-rack load
Today the chugging motor car
Disturbs the countryside
Quite out-of- date, forgotten, is
The old-time hay-rack ride.
Time was when cen a slender gift
OF comedy would please
When crowded in amid the hay.
Sweethearts might hug ant
squeeze
All, merry was the laughter then
Convention was defied--
And, ahl. what loves were kin
Oiled on
The old-time hay-rack ride!
