We can let the clovta", come to full ma turity and die and then plow it un der and have time in all part:-?1 of the Sou till fto make a crop of corn, and in the far South, to make a. cotton crop. I have seen a great deal of crim son clover made iiito hay, but have never seen a first-class lot of hay made from .it, as it is either1 bleached by the sun, or if properly cured in cocks ,is, apt to mold more thanj any other liay. Then, too. if the cutting is delyaed till the heads elongate) and get brown below, the hay is rather dangerous far horses. Hence. I believe that I would always make an excep tion of crimson clover and use it as manure direct. W. F. Massiey in Raleigh (N. C.)

In a boiler shop, dear brother, "Where the strokes are swift an5 sure, "Where the heavy iron sledges, Making music as they fall. Drown the gabble and the chatter Of the man who knows it all? There the rapping of the hammer Is against the iron piates. Not against some wayward neighbor Who has trouble with his dates; There they pound the shape-jss metal, Into iron they mold the ore, But they do not keep a-tapping On the man who lives next door. Though your nerves may shrink in terror From the bedlam cf the place As it gallops forth its noises At an ear destroying pace, You may have the satisfaction That the man who follows here To inform you on the tariff Cannot dent the atmosphere. While the place is not ideal For the man whose nerves are strung, Yet the shop has this advantage Nothing doing for the tongue. Though the noise is as a battle When two armies meet in strife, It may lure the chap whose hobby Is lo lead a quiet life. Useful Accomplishment. "He is a great acrobat. He can walk on his hands nearly as well as on his feet." "How very useful!" "Don't' get sarcastic. He isn't going with a circus." "No, but 1 speak seriously, believe me. Now, for instance, if he were ever to drown they wouldn't have to roil him on a barrel to get the water out of him Avhen they went to resuscitate him. He could stand on his hands and let the water run out." So Pathetic. "Going to the funeral?" "What funer al?" "Hadn't you heard about it?" fJACM WO. "The peach crop has been killed." Hard Luck. "You look so dismal." "Yes; this is a hard world." "Why. I thought you just had a va cation way down in the country." "1 did. and what do you think I found?" "A soft snap. I'll bet." 'Wot on your life. The bread was hard, the bed was hard, the walking round the place was hard, and even the water was hard." Theatrical Ambition. "I want to be an actress." "Do you, indeed?" said the roanagi sarcastically. "Yes." "And I presume you want to be star?" Wo." 'Wo? This is surprising." "I want to be a comet!" Job Fop Him. "Percy, I understand you are a vege tarian." "Yes, ma'am. That is the way 1 live." "Would you mind gnawing off the grass in the front yard? The lawn mower is broken, and the grass needs a hair cut." Plenty cf Company. "There are a lot of fools on thlj earth." "Are there?" "Yes; I meet 'em every day." "Seems sociable, doesn't it?" Mr. Easy Mark. "Who is your favorite friend?" "My favorite friend?" "Yes." "The chap who is present and will lend me a dollar." Returned With Thanks. Returning stuff he could not use. The editor chucked with the rest His bill for rent. He said, "I fear The style will hardly meet our test. A Policeman. "Looking for trouble?" "Yes." "It is down the alley." . "Thanks. I'll go up the street." PERT PARAGRAPHS. Being amusing, according to some persons, is sufficiently justifying your existence. Don't expect to get any more than the other fellow has to give. A woman hates to take her hat off at the theater as badly as a man hates not to go out between the acts. . Reason is the thing that has so little to do with, most of our acts. No use to attempt to talk sense to a man who doesn't understand the lan guage of sense. Any man knows that all there is to housekeeping fs broiling a steak or boiling a few potatoes and occasionally taking a turn at the dishpan. And now even the steak is eliminated. A man marries a woman thinking her a pattern of all the virtues, but often finds her a pattern of only one, and that the one he cares least about. A great many people are charitable to their own failings. Humor and X 0 PliiiGsopiiy $ Q By 7 XSfiCAJV M. SMITH PERT PARAGRAPHS. rpiIERE are individuals who seem to cultivate feelings for the sole pur pose of leaving them outside to get hurt. Be patient, my child, and let who will be happy. Some men are famous and others are simply great. There are many ways of running a business, but talking doesn't seem to rank at all in the list. Of course there two sides to ev ery proposition. If you can't so? it listen awhile to people who art fighting over it. Not knowing any surer way of keep ing their grouch, many men preserve it in alcohol. It seems so easy for persons we don't like to tread on our corns. You can't succeed without rousing a lot of envious people, who at once pro ceed to make you wish you could have made a failure brilliant enough to please them. It takes a house afire to make a man forget a toothache, but it will do the business. Educated. Just think, our little Mary Jane Will graduate this year! I bet the people all will stare And say. "Oh. see who's here!" My. but she knows an awful lot! You never would have said She could have got so many facts In just one little head. Wrhen I come home and want to know About the wars with Spain She doesn't have to get a book To make the matter plain, And if I want to spell a v. ord Or straighten out a date She finds out what it is 1 want And gives it to me straight. I bet you cannot give the year That Caesar conquered Gaul. I bet you cannot tell offhand Who built the Chinese wall. Well, little things like tnat would not Be anything for her. Why, she can tell when the eclipse Must certainly occur. Tou wouldn't think it. would you, say? Why. not so long ago She hardly knew her A P. C's! My, how the children grow! But she is going to graduate, That tiny little tot. And she will do the thing up right, For my, she knows a lot! Riotous Abundance. "You have plenty of fresh milk?" asked the lady who was looking for summer board. "Any amount of it." "And sweet, wholesome butter?" "Tons and tons of it." "And fresh country eggs?" "Eggs? We have them to throw a: the strolling actors." Good Encucjh. "Sho is madly in iove with him." "Is she?" "She eorlaiiily is." "Do you think she will marry him?" Wo." "Why?" "She says she thinks too much ci him for that." Been a Dead One. "Don't you wish you were dead?" "Vv hat, 1?" "Yes." Wo." "Life is so stupid that I do. W"n;r don't you?" "I don't like it. I've tried it." Mark of Distinction. What is notable about him any-ty?" "He was born with a full set ol teeth." "Judging fr"om the way he struts around, I thought, he might have beer, born with his boots on." Had the Facts. "I shall sue him for breach of prom ise." "But I thought you refused him." "I did." "On what do you base your case?" "Everybody knows that a woman's Wo' means 'Yes.' " , All the Same to Him. "The cost of living is something frightful." "Yes, but I know a man it doesn't trouble." "I'd like to know who he is." "The man that gets the handouts." Lost Money. . "Just my luck." "What is the matter?" "There is a dentist advertising that he will pull one tooth free, and not one of my family has the toothache." Advancement. It was the age of steel and steam, Of the electric spark. But now the age of gasoline Is here, as you may mark. PROFESSIONAL STEM & BRUMM5TT, Attorneys at Law. OXFORD. ----- rw. c. Office in Hicks Builiding Oppo site Court House. O. K.
