MY OLD Loe-cAeIN HOME.

Could but wander back to the old home,
The scenes of my childhood, oft where my thoughts roam!
From its meads and its ris and its sun-blushng plains,
Steal clusters of memTy like the harps distant strains.
Could but see the old Red gate once more,
The pump that stood near to the cool milkhouse door
The brown mill and the creek and the clovercrownd field!
o fond recolections! What sweet treasures they yield!
Stars shone so bright DER that far away home.
The dew of the morning seemd Gods sweet perfume.
Its blue sky, scented values, it's wild fowerclad wood,
Blent beauty ard fragrance in a charm'd sylvan mood.
There in the twilight of evening so still,
The katydids Wed with the lone whippoorUin,
There the lark and the wren and the turtedove low,
Sent forth their love carols where the soft zephyrs blow.
81
That old logcabin, no doubt, is no more.
The stars, though, in splendor, shine there as of yore.
But the ones l loved most, who there bade me farewell
Now sleep meath the willow in a lone shady dell
Twas in the morning of lnes sunny day,
When from that old cabin journeyd away.
But the flight of the years, as they come and depart,
Leaves that dear old cabin dearer still to my heart.

HOW ANTWERP WAS NJ
Exploit Of Robber Baron Said to Be
Responsible for coonomen Of
Belgian City.

The city Of Antwerp received its
name in a curious fashion. The FIRST
h%abitation was a castle Of three tow-
ers on the River Scheldt, ruled by a
great robber named Antigonus.
Legend gives him a height Of 40
feet, and strength in proportion AS
the main road ran BY his castle gates
he formed the jolly habit Of hating
travellers and demanding heavy toll
ere he would allow them to proceed.
n case they refused, or had not the
money. he seized them and cut off
heir hands. holding that the sight
II such unfortunate wretches wan
Iering about the country would be
excellent propaganda to the effect
that he meant business. The hands
he threw or tossed into the river,
and in time the spot became known
as "Hantwerpen" or "Hand-toss-
ing"
A giant wooden figure Of Anti
genus is in existence, and on great
parades it is dragged through the
streets with a man inside, who by
means Of a lever. works the head
back and forth in a somewhat life
like manner. The figure is 40 feet
in height.

YOUNG
FRUIT TREES
Rabbits Already at Work on
Young Trees.

aaaH. L
Rabbits began their destruc-
tive work on young orchard
trees nearly a month earlier this
year than last. The wise or
chardist viii examine his trees
at once, especially if there is
grass or weeds growing near
them. He will not wait until the
rabbits have ruined a few trees
before taking precautions. With
trees costing 65c to 81, it is bad
judgment to delay protection
which will cost but 11Sc to &c
a tree.
Where the grower has only a
few young trees or some resets
in an old orchard, heavy paper or
corn stalks may be used to wrap
them, which may prove the
cheapest, according to H. A.
Cardinell Of the University of
Missouri College Of Agriculture.
Where the acreage is large it
will usually be more economical
to buy tree protectors such as
wood veneer wrappers, which
are quoted at SIS per 1000 for
20 by 10-inch protectors, st.
Louis. If a more permanent pro.
tector is desired that will last
many years, wire protectors may
be secured at $8.75 a 100 in
thousand lots for A x Is Incl
protectors. Many firms handle
tree protectors. They should BIZ
purchased from the nearest
source of supply to avoid delay
tectors. Many firms handle treC
protectors. They should be pur
chased from the nearest sourcl
of supply to avoid delay.
Caution; Many growers hav'
reported injury from the use o
axle grease applied to trunks o
young trees to keep rabbit ant
mice away. Don't use any caus
tic material.

Ole coaEedefats Ironelad Was TIE Real
Basis Of Their Present. Great
Naval Power.

A confederate ironclad, original
ly named the StOnewall Jackson.
was the real basis Of the Japanese
navy. II was sold at the close OF
the Civil war to the Japanese, and
renamed the Adzuma. When, In
1867, Admiral Enomoto fed with
all the japanese feet except the
lronclad, and attempted to set up an
independent government at Hako-
date it was the smelly, grim and
wallowing old ironclad that pro-
ceeded to tear the rest Of the navy
to bits. as we'll as destroy the forts
under the command of the rebel
leader.
So thoroughly did the ironclad
do it's work that the rebellion failed,
and its leaders we're seized and en-
hibited In iron cages throughout the
country. The work Of the ronciad
was not lost on the Japanese, and
they listened the more willingly to
the advice Of Henry Walton Grin
nell, an American naval officer who
entered the emperor's service and
rose to the rank Of admiral. They
began a navy that steadily grew in
strene h and number, and one that
received encouragement from both
American and British naval heads.
