A graceless scamp in Kansas City fell in
love with fair creature in his boarding
house, gave her a piano, entered into nego-
tiations for the purchase of handsome
brick house, ordered carpets and furniture
for the same, selected white silk wedding
dress for his bride, gave his tailor an order
for two suits of clothes, made large invest
ments in jewelry, talked about buying a
block of stores and bank, and finally left
town very suddenly without paying his
landlady's bill.

MAKE FEED RAcKs.-A stormy day i'm
proved by making few racks to hold hay
and fodder for cattle, sheep and horses, will
return large profits before summer comes,
in saving feed from being trampled under
foot and in the mud, and thus wasted and
destroyed. Plenty of feeding racks about
the barn-yard is an evidence of careful,
painstaking farmer-and only such can
make anything nowadays. 1t is not those
who make the most that thrive best
but it s those who save the most of what
they do make. The secret of success is in
saving all that can economically and wisely
be saved.-Rurdi World
