Humanity Inspired by Songs of Birds
and Noises of the Cricket and
the Katydid.
Country Life in America says a
carefully trained ear and mind are
indispensable to enable one to detect
and to discriminate readily from the
general insect medley any particular
species of musician.
As with birds and their songs, much
of the charm and pleasure to be got¬
ten from insect music depends on the
emotional coloring associated with it.
We are enraptured with the notes of
the pewee in spring, or the earliest
piping of the frogs, not because these
sounds in themselves possess any in¬
trinsic sweetness, but because they
recall endearing memories of many
happy, hopeful springtimes. They are
always the harbingers of another ver¬
dant season. Their plaintive notes
add to our minds an emotional warmth
and sunshine. They awaken for us
an inner, subjective springtime.
In a similar way the crickets and
katydids gladden and inspire us with
their music in proportion as their
notes have become associated in our
minds with the emotional coloring of
past memories.

Ho matter what kind of machinery you use for the
other work on the farm you must have good plows
and harrows.
Any other kind are a loss of time, useless hard work for
y°ursel! and horses, and poorer crops.
Oar prices are so reasonable that it is an actual loss of
money for you not to get the best. As with everything else we
tandie, we have taken into consideration what you need, and
bought accordingly. This means that we buy the best articles
at the best prices for any purpose.
This pays us because it pays you.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO BRONCO
Writer Glowingly Points Out Useful¬
ness of Little Arizona Animal
on the Trail.
When the Arizona bronco wishes to
be safe for you and himself, he is the
safest thing in the world; and when
he wishes to be unsafe, life is a mer¬
ry chance. I went up and down trails
in Arizona which were almost perpen¬
dicular, and rough and stone-strewn,
too; but there was little danger, for
the bronco has, not the “ten pound,”
but the “thousand pound” look! His
nose is to the ground, his eyes fast¬
ened on the trail, his footstep the
most beautifully careful thing the
mind can conceive. One foot, placed
before another eases, preserves the
balance, adjusts the weight for an¬
other; and all this wonderful machin¬
ery of equipoise, stability and safety
you feel working under you like a deli¬
cate machine. Yet this sage pioneer
of the trail, with his meticulous care
of you and himself, was just a wild
range-pony, hunted down by a range
rider, driven, coaxed or duped into a
corral, broken, saddled, bridled and
ridden all in one hour; wrenched out
of his wildness, having his heart brok¬
en, and made into a slave while you
would eat your breakfast. He is not
a beauty; he is just a mongrel; but
his legs and his feet are made of iron
and steel, and the work he does over
awful trails, in a rough and ragged
country, strewn with stones and flints
and boulders and lava and scrub,
week after week, month after month
and year after year, would spoil the
legs of a thoroughbred in three days.

azine.
KING OF ALL THE TUBERS
Compared With the Yam, Irish Potato
Is Called Insipid, Almost
Tasteless Bulb.
The golden yam, says the Washing¬
ton Post, that elaborates the sun and
the soil Into a sugar which makes sac¬
charine seem sour, was set apart by
our first parents as the overlord of all
tubers. The history of its Irish rival
may be definitely traced to the foster
care of Raleigh. It spread into Lan¬
cashire, its path through the low
countries may be followed as clearly
as the march of the army worm. But
the genealogy of the yam is lost in the
morning mists of antiquity. It is sup¬
posed to be identical with the man¬
drake for which the Orient peoples
dug as for hidden treasure. Beyond
all peradventure it was the yam to
which the Spanish gave what after¬
ward became the generic name “bata¬
ta,” modified into our own collective
“potato.” Its purple flowers were hail¬
ed as the harbingers of nature’s rich¬
est largesse, while Humboldt was still
doubting whether nature originally
had anything to do with the creation
of the Irish potato. It is the succu¬
lent root to which loving allusions are
made by the great dramatist, who
would have condemned the Mermaid
as a tavern if he had been offered the
tasteless bulb exploited by Master
Raleigh.

FINDS HEALTH IN BICYCLING
Assistant Secretary of State Adee
Pins Faith to Travel on the
“Iron Horse.”
Alvey A. Adee, second assistant sec¬
retary of state, whose sunburned face
proclaims his devotion to outdoor ex¬
ercise, startled a number of newspa¬
per men by declaring that he ascribed
his good health to “plain iron.”
“Mr. Secretary, you certainly look
the picture of health,” remarked an
admiring visitor. “Do you take a
tonic?”
“Oh, yes,” said Mr. Adee; “a large
amount of plain iron.”
“Iron! How can you take that stuff
in large quantities without hurting
yourself?” questioned the astonished
visitor.
“I take it,” replied Mr. Adee, “in
the form of a bicycle."
Mr. Adee still clings to the almost
lost pleasure of bicycle riding and
spends much of his leisure out In the
country. He made an extended bicy¬
cle tour in Europe, as he has done for
the last twelve years, early in the
summer, and attributes his excellent
health in a great measure to his rid¬
ing.—Washington Post.
HONOR MEMORY OF FRANKLIN
University of Pennsylvania Will Erect
Heroic Statue of Its Great
Founder.
The memory of Benjamin Franklin,
founder in 1740 of the University of
Pennsylvania, is to be honored by the
erection of a bronze statue at a cost
of $10,000, on the tenth anniversary of
the class of 1904, college, in June,
1914. The statue will be placed in
front of the gymnasium on Thirty-third
street, near Spruce. The statue will
be of heroic proportions, and will rep¬
resent Franklin as he first appeared
in Philadelphia as a runaway printer’s
apprentice. It has been modeled by
Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, professor of
physical education, who has modeled
several medallions for the university
and figures of athletes which have at¬
tained celebrity for their life-like pos¬
tures. The base of the statue has
been designed by Prof. Henry Cret of
the architectural school.
King Georgs’s Naval Library.
King George possesses one of the
finest collections of naval books and
pamphlets that have ever been gotten
together. Formerly his library has
been kept at York cottage, but it is
now being transferred to Windsor,
where a specially fitted up room has
.been provided for it. This collection
is not confined to books dealing with
the British navy, but embraces the
fleets of almost every country in the
world and is in a diversity of lan¬
guages. ,
There is nothing affecting the sea
and its command that escapes his
majesty’s notice and a leading firm
of West End book sellers has a stand¬
ing order to forward copies of any
naval books that may be published
wherever the court happens to be sit¬
uated the moment it makes its ap¬
pearance. His majesty examines all
these most carefully and decides
whether they are worthy of being
added to his collection or not. The
king has a great liking for making
marginal notes in such books as he
reads, and some of these would prove
decidedly interesting if it were pos¬
sible to inspect them.—The Gentle¬
woman.
Hall, Beefsteak Tomato.
The man who invented the beef¬
steak tomato is clever. The name
was a happy tnought. In this time
of high prices, when many a family
has almost forgotten how beefsteak
looks, at least in its serloin or porter¬
house cuts, this comparatively new
and wholly substantial tomato is a
valuable addition to the sum of hu¬
man happiness. The name is satisfy¬
ing. The vegetable itself is still
more so. Not every large, smooth
tomato is a true beefsteak. The lat¬
ter is crimson in color, not Vermil¬
lion—if you have a good eye for
shades. The skin of a beefsteak to¬
mato is close fitting, never loose, the
seeds are few and the flesh is solid
meat. Half a pound of beefsteak to¬
mato is almost as much of a meal
as half a pound of filet du boeuf, also
as succulent and juicy. Tomatoes
are not prohibitive in price at this
time, and they are good three times
a day. Don’t slice them. Give each
Individual a whole one and receive
his blessing.
Often True.
Signor Marconi, In an interview in
Washington, praised American de¬
mocracy.
“Over here,” he said, “you respect
a man for what he Is himself—not
for what his family is—and thus you
remind me of the gardener in Bologna
who helped me with my first wireless
apparatus.
“As my grandmother’s gardener
and I were working on my ap¬
paratus together a young count
Joined us one day, and while he
watched us work the count boasted
of his lineage.
“The gardener, after listening a
longwhile, smiled and said:
“ ‘If you come from an for ancient fam¬ sir;
ily, it’s so much worse you,
for, as we gardeners say, the older
the seed, the worse the crop.’ ”
Too Cautious.
“There goes Bilfurs. He never
does anything on a bet or a dare.”
“A conservative person.”
“Yes. In fact, he’s conserva¬
tive that he never does anything on
time."
