What Two Sons Of Bsliai Did.

Miss Clara Morris, the actress. in a
letter to friend in Washington, gives
this lively "reminiscences oftwo well known
actors: They were boys then, one tall,
blonde, aud lazy, the other short. dark,
and active. 1t was Sunday night, every
one had gone to the Quaker meeting
house few doors above. They were
alone, without cards, or checkers, or
books, but Satan came to the rescue A
certain proposal was drawled by the long
chap, and eagerly accepted blythe short
one They then put on their hats and
coats, armed themselves with broom, a
pail Of water, and dipper, and went forth
into the still, bitter cold OF the night. and
worked diligently. They swept broad
path over the sloping sidewalk, quite free
from snow; over this they poured dip
per of water, then waited. In few min
utes it had frozen; then another dipper
of water. and another wit, until the
path was glass like in its icy smo othncss
A whisk of the broom sent slight GOV
ering of snow over it; the work was done
and:the goddess laborers gathered up their
tools, scrouged themselves down on the

inquisitive friend
Well, I'll tell you Madge," was the
answer. "Yo, see, paAsays that we've
got to scrimp along little for while
until he can make an assignment or
something, after which he says we can
splurge ali we want"
The friend looked surprised for mo
ment. and then turning to Der associate

What Constitutes 1 Farmer.

The following extract we clip from q
very interesting address delivered by Ma
jor William J. Sykes, IA Brownsville,
Tenn: j. sa ss, 4,
ITO be perfect farmer, . man should
combine reading, observation, and prac-
tice.5 A man may work in the fields all
his life and be poor farmer. Weshould
gain knowledge by reading and study,
and also by what we ace around Us, and
then this knowledge must be put In prac-
tice Our views, ifthey will not stand
the test Of actual experiments, are worth
less. All sound theory i based upon
practice, and sensible practice il the re.
suit Of well grounded information, wheth-
er learned by our own observation, OF
from the experience OF others. Tha
theory which will not stand the test q
experience Is worthless, and that prac
tice which is not based upon sound the
CRY is equally worthless ~
Now. all this Il very trne, but ~ iaks

of farming as of how to keep out Of debt
There ever was time when avenues oil
information we're 80 open or so easy ol
access As at the present time. Books
periodicals, lectures, clubs, associations
of every character In the pursuit Of knowl
edge abound, but people are worse thsn
over in forehandedness. Let the man who
earns dollar spend only 90 cents, and
resolutely keep to some such rule as this

POET R ~
Treasures.

We take delight In little things,
In written VOWS, memorial ringst
We md the treasures OF the earth
In little things Of little worth.
Why were we born beneath the stars
That glow for US through cloudy bars
Revealing all the heaven ab0ye,
If We were never born to love
I cannot tell; I only know
The seasons ceme, the seasons TO-.
And all the days are bright and fair
And golden days because OF her.
We live In love Of little things.
