A COMELX COUNTRY LASS.

a met a country lass today
Upon the breezy rhoor;
IHer manners were quito countrified
Her dress was coarse and poor;
JkaA breezes in their wanton sport;
Had caught the damsel .fair
And as rude breezes often do
Blown tangles In her h'alr.
Her eyes wore blue as heaven'8 arch.
Her lips had Cupid's bow
And on her cheeks the blush of dawn
Was seen to warmly glow.;
'Her breath was honey-suckle sweet
Her "voice tho blue bird's note
cAad flesh-tint alabaster tehown
About her rounded throat .
IHer smile was like a glimpse of morn
Hefreshlne In Its wealth
:&Bd. In her very motion shown
Were lifer- and. perfect- health :
IHer care-free laughter sounded like
The babbling 6f a stream
tWelicar a-tumbllng over r6cks
In -some delightful dream..
' '
JHer rounded bosom rose and fell
-AndfI do here declare
Tbrf 1 grow Jealous of the breeze
And passing country air;' '
Because tho. one could press hor lips.
Sweet as .the. honey dew
The other kiss her rosy cheek
While 1 could not I know.
(Ani jet I swear I will not cease
J -will not slop -a dfcy; ' ;
Bstt like the hrcezo and country air;

SWISS. DIVORCE CASES.
The.
Court Always Tries to. Settle
Them by Reconciliation:
In one Important respect the Swiss
surpass other nations in the mnnage-
mcnt of their divorce cases says do
English .correspondent
in every town there is a kind of offi
cial paper known as the Feuille d'Avls
In wblcb one mny reud dally the fol-
lowing announcement:
M. nnd M me. X who -ore In In-
stance of divorce are- rc4?Sted to ap-
pear privately before tho Judge alone
or with their lawyers in order to
come to n reconciliation If possible."
Before the beginning of every di-
vorce case In Switzerland this notice
is published dnd sent out to the inter-
ested parties leaving the couple. it
course free to attend before the Judge
or .not.;as they wish. Often tho couple
meet ' . "
Although there aro no statistics pub-
lished on the subject I am told by a
leading lawyer hi Geneva whoso spe-
cialty la divorce cusps that at least SO
per cent of divorce cases '-'much to
my loss unfortunately" tho 'lawyer
added with a smile are settled by
the paternal ndvlce of the Judge at
these meetings out of court
In fact Swiss lawyers will not dH.
nltcly take up a divorce en ho until It
hus passed through the reconciliation'
process..
If oue of the couple does not attend
1 the. rendezvous this moans that the nf-
lair is 10 lie rouKUl ouu um tu any cuse
8w.Iss divorces are not expensive.
The average cost In t contested case
Is $200. often $100. and the lowest
when both pnrrles are agreed $10 or
$15. Sari Francisco Chronicle.

ever heard before. Dropping their

nothing was jto be .feared from tho

the cow. Again nnd again they charg-
ed in upon her. their Jaws snapping
tearing at her mighty sides until the
sea was red with blood. Meanwhile
the cow lashed her tall furiously hurl
ing up sheets of reddened water and j
occasionally crashing down with ter-
rific force upon one iOf her voracious
opponents.- Maddened with pain and
rage she dashed this way and that'
but. the sharks hung to her' side-with a
( persistency and ferocity that roado the
fascinated onlookers Bbudder. Now

catch' one of the assailants driving It
beneath the waves no doubt kilted or
disabled but the remainder .rushed in
undismayed tearing viciously at the
mammal's bleeding flanks or butting
her with the force of buttering rams.
Presently the- spellbound spectators:

United States got the idea that somo
politician party fichemo ws to be
ovolvcd at tho St. Louis Convention
through tho Union Labor movement
Of course tho question of frbst-ktllcd
crops busy planting and the lack of
railroad rales helped to cut dow.n
tho attendance btit the fear pf poli-
tics was tho main reason for many
farmors staying away. It Vould bb
well to add that the Farmers' Union
la a conscrvatlvo body of nion. Tho
American Society of Equity is a radi-
cal organization and under present
conditions no amalgamation -between
tho two organizations Is probable.
I.The arrangement between tho Farnr-

Farmers' Union is strictly an 'Indus-
trial body and any attempt to inject-
politics into it in nny way will' sure-
ly result in its disruption under tho
present cooditlbn "William H. Tdft
president of tho United States goes
dow'n on record as being the first
executive to ever attend and deliver
a speech at a farmers' convention.
Tile President's principal topic was
largely devoted to "Cfbnservatlon" and
failed to moke' any favorable impres
sion upon the farmers: On a whole
the President only received a luke-
waijm reception at the convention and
in the city' too. Tho farmers were

score tho farmers hold against Taft is
the recent appointment of Gov) Hughes
of New York to fill the vaefney left by
the; late .lustlce Brewer. The Farmers
Union are considering a plan for he
oreqtion of a Farmers' University for
the sons and daughters of ho members
of the Union. -'
