Dinty Moore was rather akinny,
No spare meat as I've recalled;
He never was just really handsome -Truth
to tell he was quite bald.
Spent his younger days, in earning
Gold to keep him in old age;
Never cared a darn for dancca
Mind who always on his wage."
Now a funny thing has happened:
Dinty Moore has fell from grace,
If you'll notice when you meet him
There's a look about his face
And it really looks quite jazzy;
Yes his walk is jazzy too,
As he trips along down main street
And utarts to waltz but that won't do!
FirHt thing vhen ho wakes up mornings,
Waltzes right into his pants
Then does the schottische by the cookstove,
As all the time he softly chants
"Waltz me around again, ftosle"
Guess he knows that stuff alright,
Hut the way he does the foxtrot
I'll say right now it is a fright.
When he's gone and reaches Heaven,
And Peter opens wide the door
I reckon Dinty will mark time then
Jazz right in on the golden floor.
An Admirer.

HO
It was here that Peter had seen his
vision, in the house of Simon the
Tanner, a building which the speaker
himself had visited, and from which
he had viewed the sea and the har
bor. It was here too that Dorcas
had lived in those New Testament
days, known for her good works
the first known president of a ladies'
aid society.
From Jappa the speaker had pass
ed through the vale of Sharon, where
the land tenure, at the time of his
visit at any rate, existed under the
identical conditions of the days of
Abraham, when he bought the cave
of Macpelah. It was a steep climb
to Jerusaleum, 2800 feet above sea
level. Jerusalem had been 13 times
overthrown, and each time it was
rebuilt it had to be raised on the
foundations of its own ruins, with the
result that it lay 80 feet higher than
in the days of Christ. Dr. Dunsmore
pictured the four or five gates, one of
them only, the Jaffa gate, capable of
admitting a carriage. This gate
strangely enough, had been widened
upon the occasion of the visit of the
ex-emperor of Germany, when he
was Crown Prince.
Through the winding, ' haphazard
streets, Dr. Dunsmore led his aud
ience to the Mosque of Omar, built
on the site of Solomon's Temple,
and to the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre, and the Dome of the
Rock. The account wa3 the more
interesting in view of the recent
publication in a popular magazine of
stories by Talbot Mundy upon the
British occupation of Jerusalem, in
which the author deals extensively
with the topography of the city For
a moment one visioned the little
groups of elderly people, still wear
ing the ancient costume, and con
ducting each Friday morning their

parted glory of Israel at the wailing

or milks cows, is getting along bet
ter than his neighbors. Such farm
ers generally get along better than
their neighbors regardless of whether
times are good or bad.
Under the present circumstances
one would expect the hog, dairy and
poultry business soon to be over
done, and those not now in one of
these specialties will hestitate per
haps to make a change at this time.
Over-expansion in hog production
may be leadily brought ' about, for
swine are quickly multiplied in num
bers, and in advance of such in
crease the total quantity of pork
production may be substantially en
larged by making each hog a few
pounds heavier than usual, a thing
that nearly always happens when
hogs are making money. But over
production of dairy and poultry pro
ducts is not so easily brought about,
and not so likely to occur. One can
scarcely recall a time when the price
of butter fat and eggs has not been
higher proportionately than that of
other farm products.
This is natural because of the con
ditions under which these materials
are' produced. It is true that eggs
are usually cheap in the spring,
when everybody's hens lay and but
ter fat is low priced in the flush
of the grass season when almost
any kind of a cow gives a good flow
of milk, and the farmer doesn't ob
ject particularly to having milk be
cause he is obliged to stay home and
work anyhow. But making the hens
lay in winter and keeping the cow
in full flow of milk the year through
call lor a degree of intelligence
and of attention to details that is
out of the ordinary. While it is
true that anybody who will can suc
ceed with hens or cows, he cannot
do so without putting forth more
than average effort and taking more
than ordinary pains. It is mainly
because of these facts that poultry I
and dairy products are seldom so fa
