THE OLD sPRlNe-HoUsE.
By L. V. Flowers.
Hard by an old cot, in the deeps Of
the green,
The spring-house is standing today,
And under rank clusters of vines may
be seen
Its moss-covered roof in decay
And yet, tho these changes of time
make me grieve,
There's that left which compen-
safes all;
For there, within reach, meath The
lw-spreading cave,
The dipper-gourd hangs on the wall.
It's smooth, curling stem in my hand l
may hold
And drink from the spring at my
feet,
AS many road-weary traveller of old.
A draft most refreshing and sweet;
And like him may peep in upon the
stone floor
At good things in jars and in crooks,
And hear the Soft music, the trick!e
and pour
OF water down over the rocks.
How often, when tired of the city's
mad rush,
The heat and the dust Of the street,
l have longer for tie cool aud the
calm and the hush
That's found in this woodland re-
treat;
And sighed for sight of the cot md
the spring,
and sound OF the wee waterfall, y
And thought I'd be willing to give
anything
To drikn from the gourd on the
wall

But since it is Gods pleasure John,
To guide you ON your way.
Accept this Book, the Word of God,
And don't forget to pray.
This book has been a treasure, John,
To other friends and me;
AS it has been to millions,
And to millions more will be.
In sickness, pain and sorrow Joh4,
Twill shed a cheering ray.
Then let it be your constant guide,
And don't forget to pray.
This world is full of wickedness,
Of Turing snares and sin,
And thousands madly pressing on
Are daily falling in
But if you would escape them, John,
And keep the narrow way,
Oh make Gods Word your Counselor,
And don't forget to pray
With yearning hearts Wen daily pray
For your eternal veal,
AS round the family altar we
| At morn and evening kneel.
In spirit you may join US, John,
Tho many miles away.
If in your heart Gods word you hide,
And don't forget to pray.
Goodbye. God bless and keep you,
John,
Shall be our daily prayer.
And if we meet no more on earth,
God grant we may up there,
And we have Gods good promise,
John,
To cheer us on the way.
If we take the Bible for our guide,
And don't forget to pray.

EARLY SOLUTION POSSIBLE.

In connection with his plan for q five year control of the railroads by Inc government in order to get a letter idea as to what should be done with them, Director General MeAdoo refers to the difficulty Of obtaining immediate legislation providing per- manent solution.
 From that it is to be supposed that he means that the present session Of congress is not going to be able to reach Q solution in regard to this inn portant matter. It iS~of course real ized that this is the short session of congress which must adjourn without day before the fourth of March that the control of the roads by the gov- trnment under the present law must terminate 21 months after the war ends and that inasmuch as it would hc unjust to all concerned to think Of putting the roads back under the conditions which existed when they were taken it is no slight problem which faces the congress of this fls . tion.
 That does not however justify the dodging of the responsibility and ex- tending the control nearly three times as long as it was intended. Congress is a continuing body and there arc many problems regarding the read justment which need 10 be solved ae early as possible, and it must be rec. ognized that there is nothing standine in the way but political objection to the calling of the new congress in extraordinary session and getting these matters out of the way as quickly as possible. There is no reason to put government ownership to the test. w know. how it works out regarding the postoffice and we know what opposi- ton there is to it. The new congress will be in control of the republican: but that ought not to stand in the way of an early determination of what is going to be done

Visiting the Wounded at NeuiIIy.
 Carol Corey, in a communication to the Natinal Geographic society, gives remarkable pictures of the spirit of the wounded soldiers in American Military hospital No, 1 at Neuilly, suburb of Paris A part of the cemmunica- ton, which chronicles visit to the two wards maintained in this hospital Sby the members of the society. is given issued as bulletin of the war geugfap plly series which the society has been issuing to the American press from it's Washington headquarters for four years:

IMPROVING FAIRS.

It makes no difference where they are fe1d changes are always being made regarding the features of fairs. There are those which are adopted for the purpose of increasing the in terest, there are those innovations which are intended to be educational and there are still others which are approved because it is felt that the people should get better protection.
 Without regard for the fact that the late p. T. Barnum is credited with declaring that the people like to be fooled, it is apparently with the idea of providing higher grade of entef- taihf1eht and at the game time pre- vent the gullibie from being separated from their money that the associated managers of the state fairs in the state of Nebraska have announced that there must be no more eXfhbi- : tions of so-ealled freaks.
 This means that there will be no more business for the "W'ild man of

FARMS FOR sol nlERs.

Secretary Lane Of the department of the interior Believes that it is not only advisable but possible to kill several birds with one stone. This is no new view on his part for he has for long time, even before it was considered that tie end Of the war was if sight, maintained that steps should be taken to look out for the fighting men on their return from the war.
 An important part Of his annual re- port is given over to the doubled bar reled idea of not only providing farms for the soldiers but through such means reclaining large sections of the country which can be made productive though they may not be so today It will probably cause no surprise when he sets forth as the result of a sys- tematic investigation which has been underway for quite q time. that there are 100000. 001 or more acres about the country which can be converted into farms by irrigation. drainage or clearing and that he can through sur veys set forth the conditions and char aoterfsties which govern them all.
 Reclamation work has been under way in this department for a period Of 16 years. In addition many of the atates have been engaged in it and by a combination of the efforts there cer- lain1y are great possibilities open. By giving such an undertaking the proper financial backing it would be possible rot only to provide farms for the sol diers but to greatly increase the pro- ductive area of the country. and cer- t5inly both are desirable ends.
 How the soldiers will look upon the idea is uncertain but there can be little question but what it will ap- real to large number of them. It would be no more than they deserve while there would be a big indirect benefit to the country. Tho question is win the department be allowed tC go ahead along such lines through the provision of the necessary funds?
