LONGING.
The heaven-kissing hills call loud
At dawning of the day ;
I want to leave the surging crow d ;
1 long to get away ;
To get away where wild birds sing
A greeting to the coming spring
Away to where low branches awing
And tall young saplings sway.
For I have got the Irish heart ;
I know the things I know;
I feel the buds begin to start.
The seeds begin to grow.
And though the spring is far today
I hear its footsteps down the wav.
I see its teasing breeaes play
I see its blossoms glow.
And ?o I long to be afar
When the warm spring shall come ;
1 want to be where high hills are
And all the world is dumb.
And then I want to feel the thrill
Of spring in stream and tree and hill.
And spring's glad footstep on the sill
And hear the wild bees hum.

Sf people who play tricks beware
tat they may get you in a snare.
Yon can not trust them ao watch out
Whenever one may be about.
There is such a thing as being too much inter-
ested in something you are doing. That is the way
accidents very often happen. A person will get ao
interested in something that he will be blind and
deaf to everything else and so will walk straight
into danger or trouble of some kind.
Now just take the case of the Hound. Bowser
was so interested in the chaae of Old Man Coyate
that he paid no attention whatever to anything but
the warm acent of Old Man Coyote which the lat-
ter was taking pains to leave. Bowser ran with his
nose in Old Man Coyote's tracka and never looked
either to the left or to the right. He would lift hia
head only to look straight ahead in the hope of
seeing Old Man Coyote and then down again would
go his nose to follow that scent.
So Bowser didn't notice that Old Man Coyote
was leading him far far aw"ay from home to where
he was quite unacquainted. Bowser ha

The Great Adventure.
(Theodore' Roosevelt tn his volume. The Great
Adrenture.)
Only those arc fit to live who do not fear to
die ; and none are fit to live who have shrunk from
the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and
death are parts of the same Great Adventure. Never
yet was worthy adventure worthily carried through
by the man who put his personal safety first.
Xever yet was a country worth living in unless its
son' jnd daughters were of that stern stuff which
made them die for it at need ; and never yet was a
country worth dying for unless its sons and daugh
ters thought of life not as something concerned
only with the selfish evanescence nf the individ
ual but as a link in the great chain of crealion
and causation so that each person is seen in hi
true relations as an essential part of the whoU-.
whose life must be made to serve the laro-er ;md
continuing life of the whole. Therefore it is that
th man who is not willing to die and the woman
who is not willing to send her man tn Hie in a war
for the great cause are not worthy to live. There-
fore it is that the man and woman who in peace

The figures which are submitted by the bureau of the census of the depart-
ment of agriculture show that the death rate from influenza and resulting
pneumonia was only 3.9 per thousand of population while in only two other
cities reporting was the rate below 4 per 1000 of population. And all of these
cities with the higher death rates including Philadelphia with 7.3 per 1000
adopted the closing measures.
in Discussing the History of theN epidemic in New York and the measures
taken to combat it Dr. Royal S. Copeland. president of the New York board of
health declared in the New York Times recently that he believeM the keeping
open of he schools and theaters had served to check the spread of the disease
rather than to distribute it among the people.
r . l . .... .....
wiuw tne noie-in-me-wau tneater with little or no ventilation was closed
Immediately but the larger modern and sanitary theaters were not only allowed
to stay open but were used to educate the people In the way of taking precau
lions against the disease. These places of amusement were simply turned into
centers of public health education. Speakers appeared before the curtain
before every performance and explained the danger from coughing and sneezing
jrhile in the movie theaters such information was flashed on the screen.
As for the schools being kept open the children were under.strict observation
of the teachers and nurses and every precaution was taken to protect the chil
dren from the disease. Those who became affected were looked after in their
homes. New lork city with 1.000000 school children of whom 750 000
from tenement homes found this the most effectual method of dealing with
the epidemic.
Dr. Copeland declared that the people were more secure from infection by
the disease germs when in a properly ventilated school building or theater than
If they were in a hospital.
.u- ucam .MC m t. i or ironi tne epidemic would appear to be sub-
stantial evidence of the wisdom of the plan of the New York board of health.
Not only was the disease made less fatal but great financial loss to many pe
pie was prevented through a wholesale closing of public places. And last but
wnai was proDaDiy an tne more important was the prevention of hysteria among
the people.
"My aim" said Dr. Copeland In this connection "was to prevent panic hysteria

6j farms ahd a silo for every aooo head of cattle.
A miserably poor showing for a State like Texas.
We are mending our ways however. Five years
ago we only had 500 silos in the State and aoo
of these were in Brazoria county. South- Texas has
more silos than any other section of the State. This
applies especially to the Gulf Coast country where
they are exceedingly numerous. Brazoria and
Wharton counties have inn earh and r.L- .haH
of other counties of the State both in total number
and capacity. Nueces and San Patricio counties
each have 100 silos. The Panhandle country is also
