KISS HICK AM) TELL IIEK SO.
You've a neat little wife at home,
John,
As sweet as you wish to see;
As faithful and gentle-hearted.
As fond as wife can be;
A genuine hoine-loMng woman,
Not caring for fuss or show;
She's dearer to you than life, John,
Then kiss her and tell her so.
Your dinners are promptly served,
John,
As likewise your breakfast and tea;
Your wardrobe Is always In order,
Your buttons where buttons should
be;
Her house Is a cozy nest, John,
A heaven of rest below,
You think she's a rare little treasure;
Then kiss her and tell her so.
She's a good wife' and true to you,
John,
Let fortune be foul or fair;
Of whatever conies to you, John,
She cheerfully bears her share.
You feel she's a brace, true helper,
And perhaps far more than you
know;
'Twill lighten her end of the load,
John,
Just to kiss her and tell her so.
There's a crossroad somewhere in life,
John,
Where a hand on a guildlng stone
Will signal one over the river,
And the other must go alone.
Should she reach the last milestone
first, John,
'Twill be comfort amid your woe
To know that while loving her here
John,
You kissed her and told her so.

The Crimea and the whole Clack
sea region, owing to the sparse popu
lation to consume it, bad a great sur
plus of wheat. For centuries it was
coveted by all hungry nations and
exploited by the one with the strong
est armies. For centuries after Athens
had feasted upon the grain-raising
lands beyond the Bosphorus, Mithri
dates, as a preparation for his life and
death contest with Rome, fell upon
the corn fields of the Crimea. Because
Sicily was yellow with wheat from
earliest memory, through ages and
ages she was raided by all the powers
of the world. It was because of
Egypt's corn, more plentiful than any
where else along the Mediterranean,
that Caesar and Pompey wanted the
land of the Ptolemies. It was when
Rome held or controlled the granaries
her first and dearest conquests of
Sicily, Sardinia. Spain and Egypt that

SHOWING VALUE OF THE HEN
If It Could Be Capitalized Its Product
Wculd Pay Bigger Dividends
Than Railroads.
It is claimed that the average pro
duction of a ben is 200 eggs per an
num, but it is safe to assume that the
actual Is much below this licure, the
Wall Street Journal says. Adopting
the very conservative figure of 120
eggs per ben per annum, we find on
tie above basis of production there
are 1 .".0.000,000 laying hens in the
United States responsible for the pro
dection of 18,000,000,000 eggs.
At the farm price of 20 cents per
dozen the total income derived from
each hen annually would amount to
two dollars. Allowing 40 cents for
maintenance and ten cents for de
preciation, which latter would wipe
out the market value of the hen in
four years, irrespective of salvage
when the period of production is over,
the net profit per hen per annum
amounts to $1.50.
This profit, according to Wall street
standards, capitalized on a five per
cent, income basis, would place u
nominal value of $.".0 on each hen. For
the 1.10,000,000 hens this would amount
to the enormous total of $-J,.100,000,000.
That tiie American lien can return
a yield of five per cent, per annum on
a capitalization of $4,.r.00,000,000 ap
pears nothing short of remarkable,
but such is the case. The entire out
standing capital obligations of the rail
roads of the I'nited States in 1007
were less than four times this amount,
or S1C,0S2,14G.83, while the total paid
out in interest and dividends repre
sented but 4.05 per cent, of this
amount.
Court Cress of Laureate.
Tennyson's court dress, when be re
ceived the laureateship, did not cost
him much, for it r.s the same court
dress worn by Wordsworth, who in
turn had it from the old peict Rogers,
and it is still in the Wordsworth fam
ily. It is a wonder how Tennyaon and
Wordsworth got into it, for Rogers
was a little fellow. Teiinyso.i bad i;o

Spot for Lady Godiva.
"Talk about vanity!" exclaimed Hie

I'uffs and braids and swirls and
switches and curls and rats and things

make believe belong to them. A build

SLOW TO ACCEPT INVENTIONS
1
As a People, Americans Have Put
I Themselves on Record Against
Notable Advancements.
! We of this big republic complacent
ly affirm the glory of our national
achievements, and are not without
temptation to acclaim them as proof
of superior craft and judgment.
! Hut herein do we forget that we
are. on record as having cast our vote
against every move that has contrib
uted to the present century's develop
ment. We raised our voices in contemptu
ous protest, against the first projected
ni il ways. Had the locomotive waited
its signal from the people, it would
not yet have started.
I When the electric telegraph was
( shown to us wo brushed it aside as a
, toy, and laughed its inventor to scorn
I when lie eiffered to sell us his rights
I for a few thousand dollars.
We put into jail as an impostor the
first man that brought anthracite coal
I to market. We broke to pieces Howe's
1 sewing machine as an invention cal
1 culated tei ruin the working classes;
i and we did the same thing to the har
vester and the binder. We scorned
the typewriter as a plaything.
We gathered together in mass meet
ings of indignation at the first pro
posal to install electric trolley lines,
and when Lr. Hell told us he had in
vented 1111 instrument by means of
which vc might talk to one another
across th town we responded with
accustomed ridicule, and only the
reckless among us contributed to Its
being. At la ntic.
! Lure of the Club.
I It is nut at all true, ns some people
aver, that the lure of the club is the
! spirituous refreshment to be found
i there or its aloofness from the re
I straining eye of crilieal womankind
I Rut it is true that it represents the
highest envelopment along lines of
! physical comfort as this is known and
! sought lev by the animal man, and if
I the ladies, on the few days of the
I year when tliey are admitted within
! the doorr- ef these sanctuaries of
masculine luxury, would study what
they see their they would speedily be
made aware, by the objects visible be
fore them, of the sent of indoor en
vironment that most appeals to the
soul of the average man. John Ken
drick Hangs, i:'. Suburban Life.
Two Ways.
One man sees a raccoon or squirrel
close at 1 and, and is greatly interested
in its wild beauty and pleasing inde
pendence. Ai. other man sees it, and
mourns for lii.i gun that ho might kill
it, out of pure love of slaughter. Its
innocence and love of life mean noth
ing to him. One enjoys the brother
hood of all life great and small; the
other would shed sorrow and trouble
on the innocent Farm Journal.
