stricken from the list.
THE ROOT-CELLAR
A great many Minnesota farmers
have been and are being forced to sell
their potatoes, at a rate very much
lower than might otherwise be obtained, for lack of a suitable cellar in
which to store them. The supply in
the country at large is so small that
potatoes are likely to be worth a dollar or more per bushel a few months
hence, and the possessor of a good
crop and a good cellar can afford to
bide his time before putting them on
the market. Meanwhile, the men
without storage facilities are glutting
the market, and temporarily forcing
prices down, in their eagerness to realize what they may on their potatoes
before it is too late to save them from
freezing.—University farm.
BILL AND JOE
Come, dear old comrade, you and  I
Will steal an hour from days gone by,
The shining days when life was new,
And all was bright with morning dew.
The lusty days of long ago,
When you were Bill and I was Joe.
Your name may flaunt a titled trail
Proud as   a   cockerel's   rainbow tail,
And mine as brief appendix wear
As Tarn O'Shanter's luckless mare;
Today, old friend, remember still
That I am Joe and you are Bill.
You've won the   great   world's   envied
prize,
And grand you look in people's eyes.
With HON and L L 1),
In Big brave letters, fair to see,—
Your fist, old fellow! off they go!—
How are you Bill?    How are you   Joe?
You've worn the judge's ermiued robe;
you've taught your  name   to  half the
globe.
You've'sung mankind a deathless strain
You've made the dead.past live again;
The world may call you what it will,
But you and I are Joe and Bill.
The chaffing young folks stare and say,
"See those old buffers, bent and gray,—
They talk like fellows in their teens!
Mad,   poor  old   boys,   that's   what  it
means,"—
And shake their heads; they little know
The throbbing hearts of Bill and Joel-
How Bill forgets his hour of pride,
While Joe sits smiling at his side;
How Joe, in spite of time's disguise,
Finds the old schoolmate in his eyes,—
Those calm, stern eyes that melt and fill
As Joe looks fondly up"at Bill.
Ah, pensive scholar, what is fame?
A fitful tongue of leaping flame;
A giddy whirlwind's fickle gust,
That lifts a pinch of mortal dust; ■
A few swift years, and who can show
Which dust was Bill and which was Joe?
The weary idol   takes his stand,
Holds out his bruised and aching hand,
While gaping thousands come and go,—
How vain it seems, this.empty show!
Till all at once his pulses thrill;—
'Tis poor old Joe's ' 'God bless you Bill!"
And shall we breathe in happier spheres
The names that pleased our mortal ears:
In some sweet lull of harp and song
For earth-born spirits none too long,
Just whispering of the world below"
Where this was Bill, and that "was Joe?
No matter; while our home is here
No sounding name Is half so dear;
When fades at length our lingering day,
Who cares what pompous   tombstones
say?
Read on the hearts that love us still.
Now here lies Joe and there lies Bill.
—Oliver Wendell Hoi!i?,s.
