just as sure as I'm alive
I took my little grandson down to
see the ships arrive.
The men were coming dowu the &ng

With their overcoats and blankets,
for the day was bitter cold.
There was one' among the 'others of a
i most peculiar mien?
His form was quite the strangest
that I've really ever seen.
His clothing was of O. D. hue and
' showed much signs of wear
His beard was fully two feet long,
and white, just like his hair.
He had a strap across his back and
, belt arou ad his waist,
Wlhich brought tender recollections
of the time I dressed in haste.
His eyes were dim and misty and he
hobbled in his walk.
And many strange outlandish words
were mixed up in hii talk.
Such words as "Beaucoup" and "Cog
nac." "Mademoiselle" and "S'il
vous plait,"
And ! his, fellow men would look at
him as much as if to say,
.
"Who is' this strange ol.l hairy bird
twho's coming back to us
And what Is that he's muttering that
always makes him cuss?
' t '
So I stopped this aged beggar, a'ad I
asked him good and plain.
Just What he was. and who he was,
and-why he sailed the main.

was deaf)

POTATOES FOR PLANTING.
Good sound small . potatoes would
doubtless be much better thau "larger
potatoes of a poorer quality, but a
better practice would be to plant
good clean medium-size potatoes true
to the type of the particular variety
to which they belong. Everything
elw being equal, a piece of seed pota
to of good size, containing at least
one good healthy eye. will produce
a better crop than any ether kind of
seed. If the potatoes are quite small
it would be better not to cut them.
The practice of eating the larger po
tatoes and saving the small stock
aad culls for seed cannot be con
demned too severely.

The five day period accorded the
Germans Includes the three days of

The latest confidential reports
from Berlin are distinctly ! more op
timistic regarding the chances of the
German signature of the treaty.
The council of four has not grant-
ted all concessions the Germans have
suggested, but perhaps have gone far
enough to - make It possible for -the
Germans to climb down , gracefully
and accept sQch concessions as they
have obtained. .
The reports indicate that the
treaty will not be signed by the Ger
man delegation as It Is at present
. constituted, but that this delegation
will be replaced by a new delegation
representing the three majority par
ties in tne parliament.
