"Buck," of the st. joe Gazette, takes ont
an old grudge against Human in the fol-
lowing style:
Don't ask J. L. Hmm about his wife
at leas, not for few days, until he cools
down. Aud this is the reason why:
| A few weeks since Human was going
down to Kansas City on the Kansas City, St.
Joe e. Council Bluffs Railroad. On the
same train was Mrs. Governor Woodson.
Below Atchison lady passenger swooned,
and Mrs. Wooison went promptly TO her
assistance Restor.tives were applied, and
the fainting woman soon recovered sufficient
ly to whisper sad tale of surgical opera
tons, railroad accidents, injured spine,
empty purse, and friends sixteen miles back
of Leavenworth. Mrs. Woodson's SYM
pathies were aroused, and she de-
termined to provide for the poor suf-
ferer. She first gave her s., and then col.
lected some SO more from the pass, myers.
Next she wished TO find some gentleman
coming TO Leavenworth, who would take
charge Of her until she was safely landed at
the Planters House.
Mr.. Human went through the train and
at length found kind-hearted man who
volunteered to Get ~ an escort. And finally,
Mrs. Woodson wished that some good lady

4 YOun& I;.inoss Girls Sueccss-Fro,n
"a Ladies' Seminary to si.e GornficlG.

From the PraiTic Farmer.
We lately had the pleasure of ''ialery.ew,
ing" a Miss A., Of Illinois, who, for some
years past. has been engaged In carving on Z
farm of 100 acres.
Her father died, leaving a widow, and, we
believe, Two daughters aud boy, Of whom
Miss A. WAS the eldest, and the boy
lad of ten or dozen years
old. She found the health of her
mother, who was en,ieavoring 10 manage the
farm with hired help, failing, and conciud-
ing that she would rather keep her mother
than get an education, she left the seminary
in 1858 and commenced farming. The farm
at that time consisted of eighty acres
of the home farm, about half OF
which WAS in cultivation; and at a
little distance were forty acres
more, all in cultivation. The home farm
had pretty good house, but the harm
had recently been burned and the fences
were not good. Twelve acres had been
planted 10 apples Of coed varieties. She had
one horse; and got the loan Of another from
a friend, who also aids ard il aided in turn,
by lending implements, etc. She has row a
good team OF her own raising, Decides a horse
that does duty in the market wagon.
So she went TO work, with the aid OF Ter
little brother, and to some extent of her
mother and sister. who took charge of the
housekeeping. She learned TO do nearly all
kinds of work. She does not plow much,
but she can do il. She to k out fifty TO one
hundred stuinps of trees one year with spade
and axe. at the same time assisting her
brother who wss drilling wheat. She bound
and shocked wheat, and can drive teamwell.
She can Use the axe pretty well; formerly
she could chop better than her brother,
but now he chops as well as she
can herself, and she does less Of it. She
wears gymnastic suit when at home
and at work, brosd-brimmed hat, gloves.
and boots made to order. She wishes to
look as well as other girls, and thus protects
herself from the exposure resulting from out
door labor. She likes the open air life and
the out door work, and ia healthy and strong.
Most of the home farm il cultivated in
corn, though she has eight acres in grass
and twelve in orchard. She raised twenty
three acres of winter wheat in 1872. 1t was |
a fine crop, but she lost from three to five
acres from the failure Of the man she had en-
gagged to cut j, in time. Even then, with |
scarce and inefficient labor, by that nozzle |
class of men that are always willing 10 take |
advantage Of those who cannot help them |
selves, it cost her $50 to harvest and thresh
the wheat. Yet she got $50 bushels of
wheat, weighing 60 pounds TO the bu-hel.
The vonng orchard hose good deal Of
fruit in 1872, and she sold 100 barrels OF |
summer apples, and has lJG bushels OF ap-
pies now in the cellar. She took most OF
The apples 70 market herself, selling some of
hem as low "a 80 cents per barrel, ard some
~ high "a 81.
