A TALE OF HARD TIMES
Two g-a\ young frogs, from inland
bogs,
Had spent the night in drinking:
As morning broke, and they awoke,
While yet their eyes were blinking,
A farrier's pail eame to the swale
And caught them quick as winking.
Kre they could gather scattered senses
)r breathe a prayer for past offenses,
The granger grave — that guileless
man—
iiad dumped them in the milkman's
can,
The can tilled up, the cover down,
They soon had started off to town.
The luckless frogs began to quake
And sober up on cold milk shake.
They quickly find their breath will stop
Until they swim upon the top:
They swim for life, and kick and swim
Until their weary eyes grow dim:
1 heir muscles ache, their breath grows
short,
And, gasping, speaks one weary
sport:
•‘.Say, dear old hoy. it’s pretty tough
To die so young, but I've enough
1 >f kicks for life: no more I'll try it,
I was not raised on a milk diet.”
“Tut, tut, my lad,” the other cries,
“A frog's not dead until he dies;
Let's keep on kicking: that's no plan:
v\'e may yet see outside this can.”
“No use, no use,” faint heart replied,
Turned up his toes and gently died,
i he braver frog, undaunted still,
Ivept kicking with a right good will.
Until, with joy too great to utt r.
Iie f< und lie'll churned a lumpof butter,
And climbing i n that chunk of grease.
He floated 'round with greatest ease.
MORAL
When times are hard no tradein town
Don't get discouraged and go down;
But struggle still no murmer utter
A few more kicks may bring the butter.
, Boston Traveler.
HEAVY DRAIN ON COUNTRY

life in corn.wheat, hay and other stuff,
and that. too. in the face of the fact
that our state abounds in fertile lands
that am ordinary year would produce
enough corn, wheat, hay. meat, etc.,
with proper economy t«fdo us at least
three years.
Now brethren lets turn our attention
to oi l’ neglect, for these figures por
t *nd our own destruction, find ask our
elves the question, when arc we going
to change the condition? A careful
perusal of this article will lead you to
.he light where \ou can see the impor
:a:ice of the farmer taking hold of
nett -s differently. 1 have contended
for years that any farmer could raise
suffi-iei't corn, ha;, and meat to di
aim, and the iig.ues above prov; con
elusive that oi.r ;armers hr vc goi ti do
if, or continue to he the slaves for the
oilier fellow.
Therefore we hope that each com
munity will examine into this condi
tion and through your organization
plead with the people to change it and
not go coiti n wiid any longer.
Tours for the cause,
A. H. Saylors.
