Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON
EVEN ED UP


With Fate, unfair, used to quarrel,
because my hair was dingy sorrel. My
neighbor, Horn. had raven ringlets,
that might adorn the brows of kinglets
1 envied him his tresses shining, and
life seemed grim, and I was pining.
The years have sped, as years ske-
daddle, and Horns bald head looks
like saddle. And l have hair to
feed the chickens; to Horns despair
it grows and thickens. l envied him
when we were younger; now in his
glim see soul hunger. 1 see his eyes
with envy kindle; oh, how he'd prize
my hair all brindle! I envied Mott
his unearned riches, when l was hot
from toll in bitches. All jealous-eyed
used to worry to see him ride in
gorgeous surrey, while 1 chased hogs
through prickly hedges. or whacked
up logs with rusty wedges. But now
he eats things predigested; by pies
and meats he'd soon be bested. The
doc doles out his daily vittles; a Brus-
sells sprout he slowly whites, and
feeds to Mott the sickly shavings,
which makes Mott hot and starts his
rawlings. Is his life sweet, or sad and
firing? And l can eat what I'm de-
string. Vain envy seems, when swift
years trim it; of all bad dreams it is
the limit.

THE APPRECIATION.
BY George Matthew Adams

Pat your horse on the nose every
once and Il while and he will go twice
as far.
Even the dumb animal knows the
meaning of appreciation.
They say that man can not live
by bread alone" That is right. lie
must have bread--and appreciation
for what he does. Everything that
is beautiful in Art or Nature draws out
the latent appreciation in people. One
is thrilled by magnificent sunset or
group of trees, or by some unusuar
sight of loneliness.
But the appreciation, as product in
life, seems to receive scant apprecia
ton.
If you want to get "cheered up"
hunt out some genuine appreciation
and walk around with him for awhile
You will leave him with the very
perfume of his presence on your soul.
recently witnessed the play called
abraham Lincoln" / noted that the
playwright had gotten one Of the deep
est characteristics OF this great man
his appreciation of every kindness
and courtesy. tAll through this uu-
usual life Of trial and travail was the
little !sL..lse of a permanent habit-"O,
thank you!"
We are bound to be more appreciat-
ed if we will but appreciate more.
And the more you learn to appreci.
ate, the more things of every charac-
ter you are sure to appreciate.
1t is wonderful 20 acquire the repu-
tation of an appreciation!
The appreciation forms a part in the
eternal link of time and circumstance
and through its mist he pierces his
endless smile that it may play among
the stars Of his better self-dead to
everything mean and sordid.
The appreciation lives forever!

National Destiny and Country Life

The cause of the farmers has been misunder-
stood for many years. A wall of prejudice has
been erected between the city dweller and the
farmer Neither understood the other For
tunately, this condition was not permitted to
reach crisis, and today the agrarian and indus
trial interests are slowly drawing nearer.
Even the press in the great industrial and
commercial centers is beginning to appreciate
the gravity of the farmers position and is trying
to help form public opinion to an understanding
of the crisis that arises from his economic help
lessness.
The Chicago News illustrates the point. The
recent report of the census bureau on the popu-
lation of the United States, showing the drift of
persons cityward, prompted that influential
journal to assert that the industrialization of
this country is approaching that dangerous stage
where the task of provisioning the people sug-
gests forcible expansion beyond political bound
aries and tariff walls into fields Of raw
products. The pull toward the city, this dispro-
portionate industriazation of the people that
creates volume of consumption out of balance
with the production of raw materials, results IN

Answers to Questions

Old Reader-When, and how did
Great Britain capture Gibraltar from
Spain Gibraltar was captured in
July, 1904, by Admiral Sir George
Rookie. This famous admiral was
born in 1850 and died in 1909. He did
good service at the battles Of Beachy
Head and La Hogue. In the war Of
the Spanish succession, also, he dis
tinguished himself by destroying the
combined fleets of France and Spain
In Vigo Bay. His great service. how
ever, was the capture of Gibraltar, a
prize the value of which was not
recognized at the time. The British
landing on the isthmus which joins
the rock to the mainland of Spain car
ried the works by storm in the face Of
a heavy fire.
Subscriber - Please describe the
Matterhorn?-The Matterhorn is one
of the peaks of Pennine Alps, one of
the highest, rising to a height of 14,700
feet. 1t is situated in Southern Swift
zerland, near the town of Zermatt. The
first successful attempt to climb the
peak was made in 1865 by Edward
Whimper, and resulted in the loss of
four lives. The ascent is still a
matter of great difficulty and danger.

water supplied Is gauged with scien-
tjfic accuracy in accordance with the
kind of work performed. and its tenn
ipepatlre Is regulated with reference

air in the workroom.
The amount OF drinking water con-
