Why Joseph Cooks Father Didn't
Make u Farmer of Him.

A journey Of two and half miles
brought me to Cliff Seat, the residence
of Joseph Cooks father, where the
distinguished lecturer and author is
rusticating. Mr.. Cook, senior, though
entirely unlike his son in personal
appearance. He is very intelligent,
we'll read, and is we'll informed upon
the prevailing topics of the day. He
is very free to talk upon the success
which has attended his only boy, and
stated TO me that he has spent seven
teen thousand dollars on ''Joseph's"
education, not one cent of which he
would recall.
"When boy" said the father, II
tried my best to make him work on the
farm. I resorted to every expedient,
without success. He would conceal q
book under his arm when ordered out
into tho lot to work, and steal away
under some tree to read. If a small
cloud appeared in the heavens he
thought it might rain, and would make
it an excuse to leave his work for study.
This occurred so often that my men
would say that the appearance of
Joseph in the field was q signal for
rain. When nine years of age, a dis
trict school library was advertised to
be sold at auction. He was worry anxi-
GUS to attend and purchase. I gave
him money and told him he might 90
and buy what books he wanted. He
did so, and bid off all the best
books: those that were left were al
most worthless. He bought also q
small bookcase. and probably never
felt prouder in his life than
when he came marching into the yard
with the case under his arm. From
this time I became convinced that it
was my duty to give him an education.
I sent him to school, to college, to
Andover, to Germany where he studied
two years, and you have seen the result.
When he graduated from school told
him I would give him Q nice watch or
an encyclopedia. he chose tho latter. I"

The extensive facilities for the

profit, arc in the habit of stating
to their customers. who ask for

do not keep it in bottles but have

This Company is most solicit
tous to protect their patrons from
this dishon orabe trick, resorted
to for the purpose of palming off

that can not in any way compare
