 Investigation proved that he was right, to a certain extent. Things do persist in happening at the Capitol. The basements got flooded and they had to build new concrete floors to shut out the water.

Easy to See Ones Brain

"Have you ever seen your brain?" is not
such an outlandish question as one might
suppose. In fact, it is quite possible to see
ones own brain, according to DR.. Fraser
Halle, says London Tit-Bits.
Many years ago Purkinge startled the
scientific world by announcing that by
passing candle to and frow several times
by the side of the eye, this might be done.
The air in front, he declared, was trans
formed into kind of screen on which was
reflected what he supposed to be magni-
fed image of part of the retina.
This started research movement among
the scientists of the PERIOD and a contro-
versy began.
Sir c. Wheatstone thought the professor
was slightly out of his bearings. He de-
clared that what the latter had seen was
merely the shadow of the vascular network.
Then DR.. Fraser Halle returned to the
attack, and stated that he had succeeded in
identifying the picture with the representa-
ton of the ''anterior lobe of the cerebrum. -
The candle should be moved to and fro
about four inches below the eye and three
and quarter inches from the face. If the
movement is suspended, the image disap-
pears. Night is the best time for this ex-
pertinent, but it can be seen family, in any
dark place even in the daytime. .-Ex.

Another Obnoxious Weed

Byron Chase brought to the Tribune of.
fee recently bunch of what he took to be
SOW thistles, which for number of years
have been fourishing in Canada. We
showed them to County Agent McPheeter.
who verified their identity.
The SOW thistle was first noticed in Can
ada and has worked south, and the whole
country in the Red River Valley is more OF
less infested with it. 1t grows from the
seed, which is carried by the wind in light,
fuzzy balls, and stem roots. 1t is there
fore very prolific and soon covers the
ground and chokes out all other plants. 1t
is said to be more of menace to plant life
than quack grass.
Mr.. Chase was driving through the coun-
try about Elko and happened to see this
plant as he was passing. He stopped and
told the farmer what he had found in his
field and advised him to lose no time in
destroying it, as it was in blossom and in
another year or so would cover the farm.
The farmer pulled all the plants, there be-
ing about two rods square of them, and
burned them.
Mr.. McPheeters told US that, while pass
ing through on Rock Island train recent
ly he noticed a Number of oxeyed daisies
along the right of way about mile north
of Rosemount and near the St. Paul South
ern in Inver Grove township. He notified
the railway officials and told them that
these plants should be destroyed at once.

Rally

between third-and home, but on account of
Wells dropping the ball at home plate,
Sandberg was allowed to score. Huelsmann
struck out, and w. Peulen went out on a
fly to Burns.
The visitors scored no more until the
sixth inning. Then by pounding out one
single and two two-base hits they drove
two earned runs across the home plate, the
only earned runs that were made during
the game.
Goullette, who worked upon the mound
for the visitors, pitched invincible ball un-
til the last half of the ninth. He struck out
ten men, allowed only five scattered hits
and passed three on balls.
Wells pitched good game for the To-
Gals, although twelve safe hits were made
off his deliveries. Two of these we're al
lowed to score on errors and he made one
of them himself. He struck out eight men.

A Motor Dream

If l had nothing much to do
Except to run my Aivver,
A joyous life 1 would pursue
Until crossed the river
Where Charon plies his shady craft,
A grim, relentless f1oater-
And then Ill take my station aft
And help him run the motor.
And when l land, perhaps I'll spend
Long days in fixing neatly
On tires no earthly skill could mend
And keep them filled completely.
My carburetor will not pop!
I'll keep it we'll adjusted.
My brakes I'll find whene'er I'D stop
~ Well worthy to be trusted.
My radiator will not lack
The moisture so essential,
And grease a-plenty I will pack
Into the differential.
My wheels will always run precise;
I'll care for my transmission.
I'll loaf for hours to get advice
Regarding my ignition,
My spark-plugs will be always clean.
My grease cups, will twist 'em,
And everything will be serene
Throughout my oiline system.
Just now. to my intense regret,
The carbon crop is shocking.
My carelessness doth often set
My patient engine knocking.
But some day may start anew
And ride without shiver.
When have nothing much to do
Except to run my hivver.

Wood is now being converted by a new
process into substitute for absorbant cot
ton-a product which is being supplied to
the government by one mill at the rate of
several tons day. This absorbant wood
is of great value in covering and stanching
open wounds.
The wood is ground up and then spun or
rolled out into pure white sheets resembling
cotton batting. and is so light and bulky
that only about 1900 pounds can be pack-
ed in an ordinary box car. This substance
costs % cents pound.

Come gently within!

From me and from you,
Where Mary will fold him
With mantle of blue,

And the peering of things
Across the half-door.

Soft, softly come through!

In School Days

Still sits the school-house by the road,
A ragged beggar summing;
Around it still the sumachs grow,
And blackberry vines are running
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep SCARED by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The iack-knife's carved initial;
The charcoal frescos on its wall;
The doors worn sill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went storming out to playing!
Long years ago winter sun
Shone over it at setting;
Lit up its western window-panes,
And low caves icy fretting,
1t touched the tangled golden curls
And brown eyes full of grieving,
Of one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled;
His cap pulled low upon face
Where pride and shame we're mingled,
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left, he fingered;
AS restlessly her tiny hands
The bIue-checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressing,
And heard the tremble of her voice,
AS if fault confessing.
'I'm sorry that spelt the word;
hate to 60 above you,
Because, the brown eyes lower fell,
"Because, you see, l love you'll
Still memory to gray-haired man
That sweet child face is showing,
Dear girl! the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing!
He lives to learn, in life's hard school,
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like her,-because they love him.

The rose whose beauteous petals fall and

And you may have the lips that warm and

Until the blood stops cold, the pulse is
Give me my dreams, my dear, and you

Your jewels, gold, all that great material
heap
Of houses, clothes, and all the man. made
things
That crumble, die, as sure as oak with ivy
clings.
Give me my dreams. my dear, those of
The hills! The valleys! where sunny shad-
ows roam,
The laughing leaves through which the
breezes sing,
The meadows, sky, and stars, and every
thing.
Give me my dreams, my dear, my hopes
aspire,
And build in thin white air for hearts de-

A song, your voice, sky so white and
blue
Dreams that forever live like the memory
of you.

Dumb friend of mine, wish that you

The words seek
To prove for ever to thoughtless earth
Your humble friendship and your sterling
worth,
Your faith so meek;
For 1, poor mortal, have no power to say
The thoughts that stay
Within my mind for you, o splendid beast,
Whose love to serve his master never
In work or play.
When days we're fine. and all the world
was spring,
Your heart would sing
With mine, and gaily beat till day was
When midst the hills, we watched the set
A frey ring.
The battles bray, the scream of falling
shell,
The fighters yell
You suffered gladly, deigning not to ask
With those proud eyes the cause of such .
task,
And then-you fell
There are no honors set apart for you,
o steed so true;
Yet, though my life thousand ages see,
Till life be done, my thoughts of you shall
be
For ever new.
