creased about 33 and 3-thirds per

inspirations for publication in the

‘An Ode <>n the Speckled Hen,’ is be
ing read by theinhabitants of Nigera,
South Africa, $100,000 copies be
ing purchased by that government
for distribution in the interior and
surrounding Kralls. With permis
sion we give a speciman verse of
the latest poem of that great poet.
Oh speckled hen,
So serene and calm.
With gentle cluck and purr.
Like some ancient psalin.
Thou has gently furrowed
For lifes brsad with feet.
And for renewed vigor
Thou doth grit thy teeth
—We sadly deplore the fact that
the Ashton village board, with the
aid of their street commissioner and
road overseer, owing to lack of
funds, cannot grade up Ashton main
street as has been intended. The
mam street becomes a veritable nmd
hole after every rain, bat. as bad as
the citizens and board hate to see it,
it cannot be helped. Several years
ago an effort was made for fire pro
tection in the village, and in the
neighborhood of throe or four hun
dred dollars was speut for wells,
engine and hose, which are now rot
ted and useless. Why not give the
Ashton village board the power to
expend a like sum on grading up
our street, and if a system of drain
age is needed go after it in good
will. It has to be done some time
and might just as well be doue now
ss later, on and if necessary vote a
small bond to do so. It sounds all
right to talk of economy and econo
mizing, but we suggest that there
are two factors in economy to be
looked into: First; the cost of do
ing the work now and the eilect
latsr on. Give our street commiss
ioner and road bosses power and
fund* and you will see good work
and effect.
