Ah Who can say his life wns baro

Or that this clay was not the heir
Of some proud name or title fair
In some bind under the sun
Unwept unhonored thus he lies
In the forests leafy gloom
No sobs of grief no tearful eyes
No tuneful ode no broken sighs
To conseirato his tomb
O Ood when Thou shall call for me

TRACING SLANG PHRASES
Some of Them Go Back to Classical
Greeco and Rome
NV > w York Preci
A learned German philologist recently has
been tracing so called slang phraces
through the labyrinth of various languages
and has found that many of them are of
ancient and some of classical origin like
the famous phrase Hes n brick As
most every one knows this originated from
the reply of the king of Sparta who
wJhen asked where were the walls of the
city replied that Sparta had 0OOO0 sol
dlers aud e eiy mau Is a brick It was
once th < custom in France to serw to a
gtiest who had outstayed hie welcome a
colli shoulder of mutton instead of a hot
roast as a gentle hint to terminate his
lslt Hence the expression To give tho
cold shoulder Hack In the da a of flood
Queen fleas a shoemaker named Hawkins
committed suicide by standing on n hucket
to bring hlin nearer 10 the convenient raf
ter which be had selected for his hinglug
place Having made fast the rope be
kicked the bucket away and so accom-
plished his purpose Hence to klik the
bucket
In Puritan times a certain Hcfcklab Mcr
ton was In the hablf of baking two or
three doteti apple pies every Saturday and
arranging them In the pantry with labels

Macaroni Wheats
iHoretofore the haul gln sy wheats of
the durum group have been received with
but little favor In this country Now bow
ever as a result of the efforts of the
Culled States department of icrirmttu to
establish thoie wheats there ils blug 1n1nl
fowled a great change hf Oulnitn is to t tlr
mcilts In view of their probable c > mplele
ntllUatlnn In the future for the manufact
nre of macaroni la lhnope they ore i Mlcil
hard wheats and In this countrj they ha 0
not until recently been wirtlccutlv well
known to receive special name I he temi
macaroni wheat given 10 this class of wheat
bv the department Is becoming rapidly
adopted and its application Is ulicady
pretty well understood
Among all wheats macaroni wheats are
the best adapted to regions ot Intense hen
and drought
Much Information relating < o ibes >
drought and fungus resist ant wheats Is
given In hullotln No 13 bureau of plin
Industry entitled Macaroni Wheats s n I
to be Issued bv the United States depart-
ment of agriculture tsMi

teas of local vjilntibna In soil autl climate
ate fullv set forth
During the season Just passed these
wheats had another excellent opportunity
to show their superior droughtresistance
In large porMons of tho Northwest where
the ordinary wheat crop was almost an en-
tire failure mai > aronl wheat produced a-
very fair crop of grain that was verj Utile
shriveled while iu Southwest Texas where
grain growing has been uniformly a failure
yielded well nnd produred grain of ap
parently excellent qnalltv It Is the
writers belief that the thorough establish
ment of this now wheat Industry will be
of the greatest benetlt to tigrlcultnr Iu the
semlarld plains A million or more of
acres can thus be given to profitable wheat
raising which on account of drought have
heretofore rtther been entirely Mlo or lees
profitably employed Ih a few years time
the result ought < o be an addition of
80000000 to 50000000 bntbels to the an-
nual wheat production of the Ireat Plalus
alotir The agricultural area will be ex-
tended much fnHlierwfatwnrd and tho ne-
cessity of Irrigation will thereby bo < ill

Tor Th6 Tost
Six miles west of Graham al the side of
the public highway there his once been a
postoak rail pen but non the rails hnve
rotted and there Is only a pile of rubbish
tbcie hardly enough to attract the atten-
tion of the casual passerby on the adjacent
road farter this pile of mbbloh there Is n
grate and In that grave uncared for and
almost wholly forgotten rest tic iv hes of
an unknown man His deul body < was
found thole back in the seventies with 110
marks of Idontlttcatioa nd was bailed
where Itwas found Where he came < iom
and nhither he was going tho settlers did
not know he was simply found a piece
of human driftwood and the settlers
thought ho was only a tramp and bulled
him them with a rail pen 11 round to pro
tect his body from the wild hogs and
coyotes True It Is that a horrible ule
was told about that time how some
drunken cowboys in a spirit of wild mis
chiaf had thrown their lariat ropes over
the head of a lone pedestrian on the road
and dragged him hither and thither In hru
tal sport hut they did not mean to hint
lilmoh no and no one eoiUfl my it waiJ
the same man and well hoys will be hoys
anyway and this fellow found bv the way
side was dnly a tramp aud It was by no
peans certain he did not die a natural
death noman < ouid say be didnt at nv
rat and thfn the hoys were pretty gooil
boys when sober and no amount of legal
Itnestimation and court tomfoolery could
bjln g thf poor maQ back to life so the peo
simply burled him there and forgot
