That, everlasting cnndidnte,
He's coming around this spring,
Your babies kiss, your hand he'll shake
And help do everything.
lie bows his head to every man,
‘ And smiles at “niggers” tooj
He voted for you when you ran
Now asks support from you.
He knows your kinfolks, one. and all;
He's almost your own kin;
His uncle’s wife and your grandma
Were pretty sisters twin.
He either went to war and bled,
Or else his daddy went;
He's pulled tliobellcord'’cross tlio mule
No idle time he’s spent.
fje needs the plsco, his health Is broke
He ean no longer work;
Ha had a paralytic stroke
And suffers from a Jerk.
He’s competent to fill the place,
He’ll be elected sure;
He’ll beat the others in the race
Because his heart is pure.

The iate W. C. Brann, of Waco,
Tex., editor of the Iconoclast was
| the autlicu of the following short
essay on the ideal man:
I “The plate to take the true
measures of man is riot in the mar
ket place, nor amen corners, nor
field nor forum, but at His own
fireside. There he luys aside his
mask and you may learn whether
he is an imp or un angel, king or
cur, hero or humbug., I do'not
care a copper what the world says
of him, whether it crowns him
with glory or pelts him with bud
eggs. I do not care whut his re
ligion may be. If his babies dread
his coming home and his wife swal
lows her heart every time she has
to ask him fora five dollar bill, he
is a fraud of the first water, even
though prays night and morn
ing until he is black in the face and
shouts hallelujuh uriftl he he shakes
the eteraai hills. But if the chil
dren run to the,front gate to meet
him, and love’s own sunshine illu
minates the face of his wife when
she hears his footsteps, you can
take it for granted that he is pure
gold—his home is in heaven, and
the humbug never gets that near the
throne ot God. He may be a rank
atheist and a redflug anarchist, and
a mormon a.mugwump; he may buy
votes and bet on elections; he may
deal from the bottom and drink
beer until he can’t tell a silver dol
lar from a circular saw, but still
heiis infinitely better than the man
who is all suavity but who makes
his home a hell—who vents on the
head of his helpless wife and chil
dren the ill nature he would like to
inflict on his fellow men, but/dure
not. I can forgi ve much in that
fellow mortal who had rather tnuke
men swear than women wcap
would rather have the hqte of the
world than the contempt of his wife;
who had rather call anger to the
face of a king than fear the face of
One of the most interesting features
of a recent Farmer’s Institute was the
discussion of corn'.
It has been discovered that corn can
be bred for different purposes, much as
trees can be bred for different purposes
It is well known that a dozen varie
ties of apples may be 'grown upon a
tree by budding and grafting, that
horses may be bred for trotters, run
ners or draft'at pleasure; and that
cattle may be bred for beef and milk
ers.
It is nowj promised to breed corn
that is full of oil for fattening purposes
full of starch for starch making and
full of alcohol for thje distilleries.
This will be done'by careful select
ing the seed that have the largest per
cent of the quality desired. 'When
this is done there will again be a care
ful selection of the best seeds for the
second seeding, and so on througli the
, series of years. The result will be that
in a few years the corn will be very
strong in the qualities required.
This is a new departure. Heretofore
corn has simply been corn. The main
idea in seeding being the selection of
deep kernels and small cobs, to get as
big a yield as possible. It is a great
step in advance iq scientific farming

flight for a brighter and better world.

must bow In humble submission to our.
Father’s wilt. She had been sick several
days when called to go to that better
world. No more will we heat her loot
steps but in that land ot beauty she wears
bright and shinning crown. Laving
relatives and friends let us strive to meet
her Just ahead. She in, not dead but
sleeping beneath the sod of the Dorough
cemetery* ,* if
A precious one from ns has gone,
The voire we loved i* stilled; - -
A place made vacant in our home,
That can never more be filled.
One sweet flower has drooped and faded,
The voice of the wile-hus fled-
One fair brow the grave has shaded.
The dear companion now la dead.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thv iond and earnest care; /
Our home Is dark without tiiee, ■,
VV c miss thee every where.
Through ail pain at tint'* she’d smile,
A smile of Heavenly birth,
And when the angel’s called her home,
!-he smiled faretyell to earth.
’’1 is hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart,
’! la hard so hard to speak the words,
We must forever part.
