I'm Growing Old.
BY JOHN O. BAXK.
My davs pass plesnsntly away :
Mv nigbla are blensett with sweetest sleep;
I feel no symptoms of decay,
1 hays no cauae to mourn or weep;
Mv Cue are Impotent and aby.
My frlerda are neither false nor cold.
And yet, of laie. 1 often sigh
I'm grow lug old!
My trowing talk of olden limes.
My growing thirst for early news,
Mv grovtioir apathy to rhymes.
My growing love of easy shoes,
M v growing bale ol crowds rnd noise.
My glowing tear of taking cold.
All whisper, in the plainest voles,
I'm growing old I
I'm growing fonder ol my staff,
I'm growing dimmer in the eyes;
I'm growing faiuter in inv launh;
I'm growing deeper lu ui aigba;
I'm growing cartless in my dress;
I'm growing frugal of my gold;
rui growing wise; I'm growing yes
I'm growing old !
I see It In my changing tss'e;
l see it in luy ('Hanging bair;
I see It in uiv growing waist ;
' I see it lu my growing heir;

I From tba Helena. (Monl.) Herald.
Tbe train was Just pulling out of
Weston for St. Joseph, wheu one of tbe
passengers in tbe smoker put his head
so lar out of the window that a man
near bim lelt it bis duty to utter a note
ot warning.
"Yes, it is a little risky," replied Ihe
mau aa he pulled in bis bead aud sat
down, "but I was looking for a grave
in that field. Jteckou it has been
ploughed under and forgotten."
"How did they happen to bury him
there?"
'lt'a a sad atory, gentlemen very
sad. It was just ten years ago tin
month, aud I was living here then. A
ilrauger came in from (be west with
three horses to sell, and be acted so
queerly that we clapped him iu jail,
tie uever denied that he stole 'em, aud
one night tbe boys turned out and bung
bim lo a tree over there. That used to
be our way of discouraging tbe business,
and 1 believe It still practiced further
west. We buried hliu near Ihe tree,
aud it was his grave 1 was looking
for."
"Never denied U, eh?" queried one
of (be listeuers.
"Never did, although we gave him
every chance. Just a week from the
time that ho was hung we found thu
he was an bonest, honorable farmer liv
ing about forty miles below us. While
be hadn't stole tbe horses, he bad killed
a tuau, aud be no doubt believed I bat
wo were hanging him for ibat. We felt
tneau enough when we discovered that
be was no horse thief, aud that all be
nad doue was to pop a mau over. and a
liausas man at Ibat, and be must have
bi-en sadly ruxzled over our conduct.
We made auch reparation as we conld,
however."
"In wbat way?"
"Ob, we rouuded up tbe grave, passed
rosolutious of sympathy for tbe wife,
sent the horaes ou home, aud a lew
month later I went up and married the
widow. She's iu Ibe next car behind."

KISSING CHILDREN-

Yes, iiideed.dear inadam.VtiiurderousI"
You will remember, perhaps, thai
fourteen days ago you, with a ureal
shawl wrapped around your neck,
made a visit to Mrs. S., and as the little
Hons came running luto the room, did
you not snatch tbe little one in voui
arms and, apparently over flowing with
tenderness for mm, kiss bim lo yon
heart's content. Then yon began to
relate what a horribly inflamed throat
you had, so that tbe day before you

Ot that child, and yet you killed him
just as surely as though, InsteaJ ol
your tender kisses, you bad given him
strychnine or arsenic. Your tender
ness was fatal. Two or three dais
later the bov began to complain of sore
throat, and when tbe physician came
tne one word "diphtheria" made all
clear. To day a little Ireshly-decorated
mouna iu ibe churchyard Is tbe oulv
reminder of your visit. The mother
bas, ol course, not ibe slightest sus
picion ol you ; she ascribes her bitter
loss to t rovidence. The physician did
uotbiug to disturb Ibis beliel, for
this would have been as ouwise
as unkind; but I will say it Ibat
to your fjlly alone, mv dear madam,
the death ol little Hans is due.
It is hard to determine bow great a
part of the prevalence of that horrible
disease, diphtheria, is to be attributed
to such thoughtlessness; it is well
established, however, that adults bave
diphtheria in so mild a form often, Ibat
it Is regarded as only a simple cold,
and as a cold is not Infectious, there is
uo idea that the bn atb may harm any
one. As diphtheria, in Ihe majority
of cases, is commuuicated by direct
contagion, ns there is no surer way of
communicating ine atsease tnau by
kissing, aud as kissing bas become so
much the custom on all occasions, it is
certainly not surprising tbal this dis
ease so easily becomes epidemic,
although in Ibis there is un wish to sav
that ail cases ot diphtheria originate
thus. One thing should be remembered :
It is sometimes a greater kindness to
children to show them less teudernei

STATE SUPERINTENDENT OOLEMAN
ON COUNTY SUPERVISION-
Efficient county supervision should
he established in each county of the
state. The success ailuiued in our city
schools is due lo efficient supervision.
I here Is not a district in the stale mat
employs half a dozen teachers that
does not require, demand and secure
uperviHion liv having a principal or
-uperlnleiideiii whose first duty is to
rganize, grade aud manage its schools.
For titieou vears we bave nlodded
along wltb county eommiasioners who
have no control whatever over tbe
cuoo s of iheir respective counties; the1
xperiiutnt ha Droved a miserable
failure. Some time ago a railroad man
said to me, "If I have teu men to work
KgetliHi on my road It nays me well to
employ a competent man to superln-
euu ine iii, and 1 do not want hliu
o do any work but simply to plan,
II reel aud manage the men under bis
barge; no man pays me better tor tbe
talary he receives than does tbe super
intendent in i matter whether teu or
dlty hands are employed." II tbe
date has any work to do, a committee
ir board ia appointed aud a superin
tendent Is employed to execute Ibe
ame; all thu state'a buildings were
thus managed. Tbe late general as
sembly appropriated $2&0,000 to Im
jrove the state capital, and considered
it necessary to appoint a board of seven
uen to execute the provisions of the
oill; but we expeud more thau $6,000,
XjO annually upon the public schools ol
tie slate, while there is not a man. or
class of men, iu the state or iu the
-.ounties, whose business it Is to super
ttiteud litis vast expenditure of money.
There is not a business in Ibis coun
try which employs a score or more ot
nen and women that does uot consider
it esseutial lo Ihe success of the enter
prise to employ a competent foreman
r superintendent; yet the state em
loys and pays annually more thau
14,000 men aud women to leach her
.tubllo schools wltb no one In tbe
couuty or stale te whom they are
amenable. Our schools are left lo lake
:ate of themselves; io some districts
ibis has been done successfully uot on
Hcoount of ihe Is w but in the absence
it law while many more bave depend
d noon the law and the law simnlv
stranded them.
A mau should be engaged In each
county in ihe state and required lo
devote his lime, bis Is lent and bi
energy lu the management of tbe
tchooU ol the county in general super
vision; be should examine teachers,
old township meetings, and Instruct
school officers relative to their duties;
he should visit the schools ol tbe couu
y, consult with tbe tescbers, and assist
ihe people in Interpreting the law ; be
should be required lo examine into Ibe
condition of tbe school lunds and school
noneya of the county, and for this pur
poso should have access to ihe necessa
ry records; he should superintend the
holding and conducting ol a county
teachers' institute iu tbe summer vaca
tioulorlwo, three or four weeks, sud
require teachers to attend ; he should r r
range a programme add outliue a course
of study for grsding Ibe Schools of his
comity: aud it should be made bis
special business to see that the laws are
enforced. For Ibis work he should be
allowed a fair salary, and be paid out
ot Ihe county n venue as other coun:y
officials are paid. Tbe only argument
urged against tbe measure is that it
creates a new salaried office, and will
therefore Increase the expenditures ol
the county. Yes, it costs to erect
school bouses, pay tbe teachers and
defray the contingent expenses incident
to maintaining the schools.
Gentlemen, it Is the earnest desire cf
tbe best, the ablest, aud tbe most pro
gressive educators ol tbe state that the
present general assembly shall duly
provide for county supervision; and
your superintendent after twenty-three
years ot constant school work seven
teen years Iu Ihe school room and six
years as your chosen servant Is fu'ly
satisfied by what he has actually ob
served through all these vears. that
county supervision in fuel is Ihe
esaoutial requirement necessary to tbe
securing of the benefits so much needed
and desired by the public. Again, if
this omeiai should be made a medium
of protection to the couuty and towu-
ship school funds, there would be more
than enough saved in many counties lo
pay all tbe expenses of this oVcer
Give us effective county supervision
and a new era will be inangurated iu
tbe management of the puhlio schools
ot Missouri; the schools w ill be increas
ed in tbeir usefulness at least one-ball
iu Ibe next two years; tbe schools need
it, the leschers ask for It, and Ibe
people will sanction your action wben
tbey compreheud its true import and
value.

WHY HE IS A FREE TRADER.

lean Tariff.
I Kb ran Northwestern Farmer.
Crops in this region have failed for
yeare, and etoiies ol our poverty that
iiae reached tho cast cannot be far
wrong. Still our people bave sand and
siitl maintain confidence iu the country. .
There is a line chance lor Ihe free trade
propaganda in the republican majority
out here. S D. Robinson, a young
ran whose, father bad writteu biro an
u ,101 aiding letter because tbe son bad
voted the democratic ticket, obtained
101110 godvadvice aud sent in reply a
Ktter that has been published in tbe
Northwestern Farmer and Breeder.
Here It is:
"My Dear Father: I am sorry yon
(eel so cut up al my voting the demo
cratic ticket. Yon say you think I have,
beeH badly influenced, aud that I should
vote according to my own Judgment,
i will try to tell you why I voted as
Idid.
Tbe most ol Ihe talk out here was
about tariff, aud I can't see any good
any more iu a high tariff on things
poor people want lo buy, so I just
voted for ibe low tariff party. I have
to work pretty bard for every dollar I
get, aud I waut tblugs that I use to be
cheap, aud 1 am sure tariff does' I make
labor any higher. You know bow It
came that I lost my job iu tbe mills at
Pittsburg; tbey Jusi flicd me aud pat
an Italian lu my place, and at tbe same
time bounced Jo Wheeler and put a
newly arrived Scotchman lo belping
the engineer al f 1.70 less per week
than Jo had been getting. You osed
to (ell us that high tariff was to protect
us against tbe foreign laborers. It,
didn't seem to work in Jo's case or
mine. I held It down for three months
Io Beaver Falls, bat It Is Just about tbe
same thing there; those mills are foil
oi foreigners. I only msde $31 la
twenty six days, and seld tn got iu
over Ave days lu a week. 1 paid 14.24
board, so yon can see about bow I
came out. rrotection liidn t seem to
do me any good there, so I lit ont for
the "Wild West." The first placet
struck here was a big larm owned by
an old iellow named Staples. 1 walked
from the station to bis place wiib two
Swedes, oue, Just over, could not
speak a word ot English. Staples
seemed to be a nice sort of a man,
asked roe where I was from aud oflered
to give me dinner, but he hired both
the Swedes, and let me "move on."
Tbe next place tbal I tried tor work:
was at tbe iClgiu farm. Tbe boss, a
Iellow named Todd, told me be bad
nothing but Poles on his place. I
beard about bim afterward, Ibat ha
was a regular crank and wben be
wauled a band be wonld drive all over
tho country homing a Polo.
"Wen, then l went to tbe Park farm,
about 7,600 acres; Ibey gave me my
dinner, but I couldn't get a job. Tbere
were twenty-eight men at tbe table;
all but four were Scandinavians. I am
told that all the big farmers oat here
would rather hire Norwegians or
Swedes thau Americans, and some ot
the Ui farmers send over and bring
gangs o? them. Tbey say that foreign
ers work lor lower wages and are
easier suited with regard m board and
other accommodations. Now, if tLe -taritl
is to help the like of me, there
should be a duty of $400 a bead on
foreign laborers. One Swede where 1
am worklug now seems lo be a preity
decent sort of chap. He came over
wltb bis uude a year ago last spring.
His uucle bas a farm iu Minnesota and
loaned tbis youug man $60 and told
him to buy clothes with it to bring
over with bim. t:e says ha has enough
to do him lor five years. He showed
me a woolen shirt be said cost bim
over tbere $1.26 iu our money. I paid
$2 60 tbe other day for ouo I tried to
trade lor his. Now. Pap, how in
tbnnder am 1 helped by the tariff? I
bave to pay more lor that shirt, aud all
tbe way from Pittsburg to Dakota I
bave to buck against these foreigners
that, if not exactly paupers, can do as
this yonng Swede, bring in enough
clothes to do for Ave years. If they
protect one American manufacturer,
Ibey ought to protect all of them ; but
as soon as these fellows who hire
laborers find out thai I was manufac
tured in this couulry, tbey tell me to
take a walk, aud run in a loreign
article. 8 now yon know w by I bave
gone back on the old parly, as yon say.
If I am oil my base, let me kuow.
"Your affectionate son,
"S. D. Robinson."

WAR ON WIDOWS.

The humble petition ol all Ihe maids
whose names are underwritten:
Whereas, We, the bumble petition
ers, are at present In a very melancholy
disposition of mind, considering how
all ibe bachelors are blindly captivated
by widows, and we are thereby neg
lected. In cousequence of tbis, our re
quest is, Ihst your excellency will, iu
future, order Ibat uo widow presume
to uiarrv anv young man 'till Ibe maid
are provided lor ; or else to pay each of
them a flue for satisfaction for Invading
our liberties, and ilkew ise a fine 0 be
levied ou all such bachelors as shall
marry widows.
The great disadvantage to ns maids
Is tbal widows, by Iheir forward car
riage, do suap up Ihe young men, and
have the vauity lo think tbeir merit
beyond ours, wbicb is a great imposi
tion on ns, who ought to have tbe
preference. This Is bumbly reoom
ineuded to Your Excellency's consider
ation.
We hope you will permit no further
insults and we poor maids iu duty
bound will ever pray. You would
confer a great tavor on ua If you will
give this your earliest attention.
The petition Is signed by well-know i
young society ladles.
