Curious Literary Production.
(The following is one of the most remarkable compositions ever
written. It evinces an ingenuity peculiarly its own The initial letters
spell "My boast is in the glorious cross of Christ," The words in capi-
tals, when read on the left-hand side from the top to bottom, and on the
right-hand side from bottom to top, form the Lord's Prayer complete;;
Make known the gospel truth. OUR Father King;
Yield up Thy.'grace, dear FATHER, from above;
Mess us with hearts WHICH feelingly can sing;
"Our life Thou ART for EVER, God of Love "
Assuage our grief IN love FOR Christ, we pray,
Since the Prince of HEAVEN and GLORY died.
Took all sins and HALLOWED THE display.
Infinite BEing, first, man. And then was crucified.
Stupendous God! THY grace and POWER make known;
In Jesus' NAME let all the world rejoice,
Now labor in THY Heavenly KINGDOM own,
That blessed KINGDOM, for Thy saints THE choice
How vile to COME to Thee IS all our cry;
Enemies to THYself and all that's THINE!
Graceless our WILL, we live FOR vanity;
Loathing the very BEiiijj, EVIL in design
O God,Thy will be DONE FROM earth to Heaven;
Reclining ON the gospel let US live.
In EARTH from sin DELIVER and forgiven,
Oh! AS Thyself, BUT, teach us to forgive;
Unless ITs power TEMPTATION doth destroy.
Sure IS our fall INTO the depths of woe.
Carnal IN mind, we. have NOT a glimpse of joy
Raised against HEAVEN; in US no hope we know,
O GIVE us grace, and LEAD us on the way;
Shine on US with Thy love, and give US peace.
Self, and THIS sin that raises AGAINST us, slay.
Oh, grant each DAY our TRESPASSes may cease;
Forgive OCR evil deeds, THAT oft we do;
Convince us DAILY of THEM, to our shame;
Help us with Heavealy BREAD. FORGIVE us, too.
Recurrent lusts; AND WE'll adore Thy name,
In Thy FORGlVEnes we AS saints can die.
Since for US and our TRESPASSES so high,
Thy Son, OUR Savior, died on Calvary.

Filth is responsible, for four-fifths
of the hog cholera. Begin now to
keep those pens and yards clean.
a Missouri woman shot her husband
because ue "didn't come.io supper on
time " This will remind countless
thousands of husbands that they have
been guilty] of. theisamo thing quite
often and escaped with a lecture.
The corn-husk prophets predict a
hard winter. It will doubtless be a
hard one for the speculators caught
on the wrong side of the market, for
the defeated office-holders and labor-
ers out of a job Farmers with fat
hogs and full cellars are not worry-
ing.
a. Zeiner, of Oswego, Kas., who is
a successful hog raiser, anent sick-
ness among hogs, sa.vs: "There is no
more reason for haviryj sick hogs
than sick horses or cattle. Hogs need
careful attention -a thing they do not
usually get. They should have clean
quarters, and pure water to drink. A
hog cannot remain healthy in filthy
quarters with impure food and water.
My hogs are seldom troubled with
siexness. I keep them in alfalfa and
clover pasture and give them all the
pure water they want.
Mr. Solcatt, a farmer of Southern
Indiana, has entered the lists of ex-
perimenters with Burbank and others,
and has produced results of groat val-
ue. He has madr corn culture a study
and for twenty-five years has been en-
deavoring to increase the yield by
growing a variety that will produce
more ears. He now announces that
this season he has obtained corn that
bears three ears to the stalk, each
averaging over 12 inches in length
Any fool can destroy^a tree, but it
takes Mother Nature a century or
more to make one. The famous tem-
ple of Diana at Ephesus, costing un-
told millions and one of the wonders
of the world, was set on fire by a fool
that "wanted to get his name in the
papers.'' Those that fell trees seldom
plant them. During a man's life only
saplings can be grown to take the
place of the centuries old trees that
have been destroyed. It took more
than 3,000 years to make some of the
trees in the Western woods and to
build up the noble primeval forests,
which the greedy sawmill men ruined
ia a few years. Nature preserves the
trees for centuries, saving them from
drought, Disease, avalanches and a
thousand strairiing. leveling tempests
and floods, but she cannot save them
from the fools. If we could kill off
all the fools we might save the trees,
but the population would be dreadful-
ly reduced. Uncle Sam has underta-
ken the job of saving our remaining
forests from the fools and the frauds.
^his is the lime of year to hear of ca-
tale dying of corn stalk disease. Pas-
turing stalks is a dangerous proposi-
tion. unless wheat has been sown in
the field. An hour at a time, for the
first few days, is long enough for cat-
tle to remain in the stalk fields. They
should then be driven to water. Have
plenty of salt where the cattle can
have free, access, and even then you
may lose one occasionally. There is
no cure after an animal is attacked,
and if you ever saw one get well you
can safely .say it was not the corn
stalk disease, or impaction of the Ru-
men thr> - ■ V... ..,vent
this disease but you can't cure it.
Medford High School Notes.
The seniors are just now finishing
up their review of arithmetic. This
will be followed by physiology.
Fifty cases of tardiness during the
last month. There is no good reason
for a case of tardiness, except an un-
forseen emergency, and this should
rarely happen. Promptness in per-
formance of tasks is a very important
element of success. Parents, why not aniary

Have Compassion.
The time is now here when rural
route patrons should have sufficient
compassion on their carrier to refrain
from putting pennies in their mail
boxes for the carrier to lish around
after. Get out these cold mornings
and drive 25 to 30 miles, then try-
pulling off your mittens every few
minutes to finger around in a cold
box for two or three pennies and you
can realize what it meaqs to your car-
rier to have to do the same.—Cushing
Independent.

ma Wood accompanied her mother back
