Just for a Little AVhilo
I'd like to be a boy again,
Just for a day or two.
I'd like to roam through the old
homo ways,
Just as I used to do.
Over.the hills and far away,
Wandering mile on mile,
'Neath a sky as blue as it used to
for a little while.
I'd like to, mingle with chums of old,
Just for a day or two.
"Whistling the hours of day away,
Just as I used to do.
Over the fields, and through the lane,
Down to the old, worn style,
Hearing the '..'Whip-poor-will's"
shrill cry,
Just for a little while.
I'd like to fish in tho clear, cold
creek,
Just for a day or two.
Watching the cork as it sinks from

Just as I n nr rl f rTrTn . .
Over the bridge and through the

Marching in single file,
Searching with chums for big nut

Just for a little while.
I'd like to rest 'neath the old home
roof,
Just for a day or two.
Dreaming dreams of the days to

Just as I used to do.
Over the ashes of yesterdays,!
Sitting I dream and smile;

Realizing that Uncle Rufus was
about as well posted an a lot of the
people who are agitating tho cele
bration of the Milton ter-centennlal,
wo refrained from explanations, pre
ferring to yield up tho quarter and
resume our interrupted meditations.
Utility
The poet's wife drew her thin
shawls more closely about her Bhoul
ders and complained of the frigid
temperature of their attic apartment.
Isn't there some way we can se
cure more warmth in hero?" she
asked.
The poet lookid un from h fnhin
and ruminated.
"Coming in through that broken
window, isn't it?" he asked.
"Most of it," replied the wife.
"Well, my dear; just hunt up that
rejected manuscript, 'An August Ro
mance.' It is a hot story, even if it
did get a cold reception from tho
editors, Ju&t stuff it fn tho win
dow. Then come and hold this ink
bottle in your hands so it will re
main unfrozen long enough for mo
to finish this lyric on 'Spring.' "
And Then-
No sooner was I a sightseer in the
strange city than I was struck with
the decidedly good appearance of
things in general. But what I want
ed to see was tho sights tho espe
cial sights. So I ventured to accost
a passing citizen.
"Have you any unusual sights in
your beautiful city?" I asked.
"Indeed wo have," said tho citi
zen; "and it will give mo great pleas-

SOMETHING NEW IiATE IMPROVE
MENTS IN STOVES
The newest and latest Improvement
In base-burner construction is the hot
air flue which takes tho co'd air off
the floor, passes It up through the
stove, throwing out hot air at the top,
creatine a circulation that will change
tue air In a room 15 feet square every
40 minutes. This was not had by the
old-stylo construction. The Hopsier
Stove Company, of Marion, Indiana,
havo just built the latest thing in this
lino. The hot-air flue in Hoosier Stoves
is guaranteed to have 54 cubic inches
more heating capacity, than any stove
heretofore put on the market, and It
is said on account of this improved
hot-air -flue to heat at least one room
more, with the same amount of fuel,
than the old-style make of correspond
ing size. Ono can easily- see the ad
vantage of getting a stove with these
new improvements, as tho saving in
fuel will soon pay for the cost of a

located at Marion, Indiana, 101 State
St, and to anyone that -will send their
address on a postal the Hoosier Stove
Company will mail free one of their
C4-page catalogues and quote their
lowest factqry prices direct to you.
"They allow you to try a Hoosier Stove
or Range thirty days free In your own
homo" and will send it to you freight
prepaid, so that you aro not out one
penny. If you need a stove you should
try one of theao before buying. Advertisement.

"I'm afraid Jimson is living be
yond his means."' ,-"")"' '
"What makes you think so?'
"Well, for one thing he's quit
drawing wages and is now drawing
a salary."
Generous
"What makes you say Cumso is
a generous man? I always thought
he was niggardly."
"Why, Cumso gives away more ad
vice than any man in this neck o'
the woods."
Reminiscent
"What do you think of Scrane
gie's testimony before the tariff com
mission?" "You mean the man that got a
few millions out of special legisla
tion for his Industry and now de
clares that it is not needed?"
"Yes; that's the fellow."
"Well, somehow or other ho re
minds me of the reformed highway
man who has salted his booty away
in safety and then turns around and
peaches on his pals."
Isn't It Awful, Mabel?
"Ah dono see dat dey is gwine ter
celebrate de birfday o de man what
invented de great game," remarked'
Uncle Rufus as he shambled into the
office to receive his regular weekly
dole of a quarter.
"What are yon talking about
now?" wo inquired.
"Ah done read in de papahs dls
mawnin' as how dey was gittin'
ready f celebrate de birfday o' some
fellow named Mistah Milton, who
writ de story about a pair o dice
ure to point them out."
I accepted with thanks the
proffered courtesy and we started.
"That," said he, pointing to a
handsome public building, "is our
city hall. It wqs built without graft.
And that one over there Is our high
school. It Is conducted by a board
of business men who think more of
educational results than they do of
personal aggrandizement. And over
there is our municipal telephone ox
change, which la so well conducted
that it pays a handsome profit to the
city. Those fine street cars are owned
by the city, and tho revenue pays
two-thirds of the running expenses
of the municipality. You will no
tice on every corner in the business
districts a drinking fountain for man
and beast, the water being supplied
by a municipal plant that brings a
revenue that keeps up a splendid sys
tem of parks. Please note the clean
ly condition of our streets; It is tho
result of intelligent application of
business methods In which partisan
politics plays no part. All our me
chanics work eight hours a day, and
all our business houses close at 6
o'clock every evening In the week.
The clock in the city hall tower is
about to strike tho closing hour, and
If you will watch you will see an
army of well paid and contented
clerks hastening home to an evening
of rest and enjoyment."
Naturally I was astonished at all
this, and deeply Interested. I paused
to hear the clock strike. Suddenly
tho first booming stroke rang out
upon tho air
And it woko mo up.

"By the way, have you read the
president's . last message?" .
"I hope so."
Won't You Read
Our Story?
Say Yes.
It's a new story of a new
crcara separator; a 1909 cream
separator; tho now Tubular
"A." It's worth reading about
because It is the standard by
which other cream separators
are measured, and represents
just what n satisfactory sepa
rator should be.
Our new catalogue tells tho
story of tho new Tubular "A"
in a way that will interest you.
