SPRING TOKENS.
There are a number of things that
are not especially nice in themselves ,
but which wo are glad to see because
they are signs of spring. Nobody
loves a frog ; they are not pretty nor
musical , but wo all like to hear their
voices again after winter has gone.
They are like other visitors , whom
we welcome heartily and sincerely ,
but in whom we lose interest after
they have once told their stories.
So with dandelions. They are a
pestiferous nuisance when they get
under way , but their first appearance
is welcomed with pleasure. When
dandelions show their faces warm
days are at hand. They are very
pretty faces , too ; look at one of
those early dandelions closely and
see how delicate it is and how soft
the colors are. Some people make a
rule of always wearing in their
buttonhole the first dandelion they
meet each year. „
THE WORLD'S FAIR.
Everybody has supposed all along
that the St. Louis exposition would
not come off before 1904 or 1905.
With the best will in the world and
all the money they want , there are
still some things that are impossible
even for Mr. Francis and his as
sistants. Now it begins to bo said
openly that the affair has been post
poned. It is doubtful , however , if
an official acknowledgment of this
intention has been published. The
Nebraska commission has just issued
a circular in which 1903 is spoken of
as the date. This is an appeal to
agricultural societies , signed by E.
E. Bruce , the commissioner to whom
this important section was assigned.
"Members of your society should be
notified , " it says , "that this state
will do everything possible to make
the finest agricultural exhibit in its
history. There will be cash prem
iums offered to the counties making
the best showing. "
Nebraska can make a magnificent
agricultural exhibit , there is no
doubt of that. But it is pretty sure
too , that the 1903 crops will bo in
ample time for the oxpositio'n.
TIME TO PREACH.
' Now that the iron columns , made by
non-union men have been taken out of
the Labor Lyceum to make * , room for
columns just like them that were sancti
fied by a walking delegate , the preach
ing of liberty can be resumed , in this
town. Brooklyn ( N. Y. ) Eagle.
