sosoooooosooosesso H. H. HARSHAW’S Bis 100 Head Poland China Hog Sal Will be held at Taylor on Ingersoll. | “T sat ina great theater at the Na- tional capitol. It was thronged with youth and beauty, old age and wis- dom. I saw a man, the image of his God, stand upon the stage, and I heard him speak. His gestures were perfection of grace; his voice was music and his language was more beautiful than I had ever heard from mortal lips. He painted picture and sympathies of home. He enthroned love and preached the gospel of hu- manity like an angel. Then I saw him dip his brush in ink and blot out the beautiful picture he had painted. I saw him stab love to death at his feet. Isaw him blot out the stars and sun, and leave humanity and the universe in eternal darkness and eternal death. I saw him, like the serpent of God, worm himself into the paradise of human hearts and by his seductive eloquence and the sub- tle device of his sophistry inject his fatal venom, under whose blight the flowers faded, its music was hushed, and the soul was left a deserted waste, with only the new made graves of faith and hope. “T saw him like a lawless, erratic meteor without an orbit sweep across the intellectual sky, brilliant only in self-consuming fire, generated by ac- tion with the indestructible truths of God. That man was the arch angel of modern infidelity and I said: How true is Holy Writ which declares, the fool hath said in his heart there is no God.” “Tell me not, O infidel, there is no God, no heaven, no hell, A solemn murmur of the soul tells of a world to be As travelers hear the billows roll be- fore they reach the sea. Tell me not, O infidel, there is no risen Christ! When every earthly hope has fled, When angry seas their billows fling, How sweet to lean on what He said, How firmly to His cross we cling.” i Real Estate Transfers. Warranty Deeds.

And here’s to the genius who tho’t of the scheme! To the man with the BRAG all honor is due And glory to him who invented it, too. - “Good roads,” pleads the trav’ler, “Good roads” is his ery. “Good roads’’, jeers the farmer, “‘in the sweet bye-’n-bye.”’ But while they are sitting and sighing ‘‘alas,”’ And waiting a road-bill, legis!ature to pass, A man up and doing has thought of a way To fill in the ruts and to level the clay: Not waiting for any slow process of law He gives us a method direct as‘a saw. He says: ‘Get some planks Sir, and hitch to your team And drive right ahead! Why, you'll think it a dream The way those old roads will straighten out flat— And wonder why man n’er before tho't of that.”’ He asks for no patent, no money wants he, For good of mankind he is giving it free. Just try it (if prone to discredit the plan) You'll find it a wonderful blessing to man. : : é : : : : BUTLER, MO. Wed., Feb, 23, 1910 But, meanwhile, the laggards they laugh in distrust And sitting on barrels the thing is discussed. “By gosh!"’ they protest, ‘why, this fool of a man He thinks he can josh us—but not much he can! Why, who ever heard of a-pavin’ with planks. A-swingin’ from hosses! Guess not Sir,—no thanks!” But the live one today is trying the Drag And soon of his roadway he justly can brag. To the Man with the Drag all honor is due! And glory to him who invented it, too! So here’s to the man who discovered the way!
