A Slow Train.

According to the trustworthy TraUeL
erS' Magazine, man was travelling on
a "mixed train freight, with passen-
ger car attached) on a Western road.
when he went to the conductor, and
asked him if he couldn't hurry up, as
his wife was sick, and he wanted to see
her before she died. The conductor
said he was on time. Again the man
came to the conductor and said he
guessed his wife was dead by that time,
and he d give the conductor something
extra if he'd get there before the re.
mains were so bad he couldn't recog.
nize her. The conductor only grunted,
and in little while the man again as
sailed him. If the wind wasn't dead
ahead, he said. he wished he'd put on
more steam, because he wanted to see
where his wife was buried before the
tombstone crumbled to pieces The
conductor gave him no satisfaction.
Then he. begged him to rattle along q
little because he had a note coming due
IN three months. The conductor
threatened to lick him, and so the pas
senger sat down and got to talking and
laughing with another man, soon for
getting his worry. By and by the con.
ductor coming along said to him:
" Don't feel so badly about your wife's
death? "Time heals all wounds"
sighed the man. "And you are not too
particular about that note" sneered
the conductor" mot now. That's
all right. Don't worry. I've been fig.
uring up. and / find that the note has
outlawed since spoke to you lastr'

An American Steuben.

William North Steuben, the son of
Jonathan Steuben, the American revolu-
tionary soldier to whom Baron Steuben
gave his name, is now living in Santa
Clara County, Cal, at the age of "A. The
original name of Jonathan Steuben was
Arnold. Shortly after the treason of
Benedict Arnold. the Baron was review
ing the regiment of which young JON
athan Arnold was a member. Hearing,
by accident, the name of Arnold, he
called for the man who bore it, and on
seeing him said: ""Change your name,
brother soldier; you are too respectable
to bear the name of traitor" "Whose
name shall take, Generalw "Take
any other name-mine is at your SER
vice." was the reply. The offer was at
once accepted, and the first American
Steuben was ushered into existence al
most by accident. The present Mr..
Steuben was born on the "Steuben
Tract" in Oneida County, N. Y.-Er-
change.

COd-Fishing.

as Dait once assured, the fisherman

gIounos, seeking the Grand Bank, the
Ia msnore fisheries, or the cosstof Labrador.
ane nsn on Labrador, or on the Grand
bank, are always largest and most valu-
able, but the fisherman there must incur
ve1atious delays in securing fresh bait or
m ~ coming shoreward to dry his product.
I ms Is an ardurous and perilous calling
Inc COD usually bites best at sunset or
sunrise, and often tug at the lines all
night 80 by darkness and day the fisher
I Is at ms post, save when a storm forces
Iim 70 heaye-to on the banks, or, nearer
snore, drives him to port. The rasping
ine' drawn up often from depth of 200
Ieet, cuts his fingers, the poisonous squid
ana salt used in canning the fish wear
the SKIN to the blood; hunger, exposure,
danger, are all his lot. Here, in New
Wonderland, he fishes also for hard
master, the wholesale dealer, who fur
nisnes the equipment, taking SIS security
chattle mortgage, thus bringing the
poor, ignorant fisherman in debt at the
opening Of the season. 1t is reckoned a
fair seasons catch if the fisherman comes
out with profits of 1920, on which he
must weather through with wife and
children the piercing winter months.
During his absence the wife tills the
ground, rears the children, and even cures
the fish which her lord brings home. On
his return from the remoter banks, often
after an absence of five months, the fisher
man relapses into sulky idleness for the
rest OF the year. He sits by the fireside
with his pipe, leaving his wife to do the
household work, and becoming by COM
parisOn with his decidedly better half a
most inconsequential and good-for-noth-
ing creature. He may be captain on the
water, but his wife is captain on shore,
and the subsection to which these impe-
rious fshwives reduce their nominal lords
and masters is funny side of social
phenomena in this queer island.
The cod is anything but a gamesome
fish: A few initial struggles way down
in the depths, and he comes up with a
dead pull like log. Unless very large
and hungry he bites daintily, and out of
ten that bite probably but one is hooked.
In "trawling" the fisherman sinks a
long rope fitted with short snoods and
hooks. The rope is ingeniously buoyed
to logs, to which is attached a staff and
nag IN such way that each wave throws
the flag in air and signals its spot. Two
men In boat, often several times day,
::ulfderrun" the trawl-the man in front
drawing up and taking off the fish, while
his companion bats. The "sein," so
called, is here net of great length and
depth, so arranged as to "purse" at the
bottom by drawn cord, and secure the
fish IN the same manner that menhaden
are caught on our costs. The local title
of trap" is applied to continuance
much like our fish-ponds, but made en-
tirely of nets. The seine and trap are
both used effectively when the cod is
gorged with caplin or squid and refuses
to bite.-&. Johns (M. FL Cor. N. Y.

Making AdObes.

Monday morning we drove down to
see them making adobes. They make
an ''acequaf' by drawing the water
through ditch from the creek to where
the adobes are to be made. This water,
clay and chopped hay form the adobe
material. The workers presented pict-
uresque appearance, the red handker.
chiefs bound about their foreheads con.
trasting with their bronzed skins, gilt
tering eyes and dark hair. They wore
gray-colored shirts and pants that might
have been white at the embarkation OF
Noah's ark. They were rolled high
above the knees. Two Of the men stood
knee-deep in the mud, with which they
loaded an oblong litter, trotting with il
to man on the hill above, who nodded
the bricks. He had a hollow rectangu-
lar frame, three inches in depth and di-
vlded in the center. Placing this on the
ground he filled it with mud from the
Utter, smoothed the mud even at the
top, and raising the litter left two bricks
on the ground. while the two men trotted
back and again loaded the litter. After
these adobes dry on the top they are
turned sideways to harden in the sun.
AT night they are carefully covered with
tarpaulin. in case of rain. which DESTROYS

and no pains need be taken to do neat
job. Whatever wash falls upon the
floor in the operation is not lost, but
helps to sweeten the stable or stall.
The quickest and most satisfactory
method is to use force pump, by
which the lime-wash can be thrown
into every crack and corner. - Cleveland

Successful Farming.

excellence IN farming Is n rare thing.
Sltp-shoddiness in many communities Is
the rule rather than the exception. But
In every netghborhood some good farm
erS may be found-men who have o
natural taste for the management and
control OF farm. and they may be
easily known from their less thrifty
neighbor Qeaving the crops out of the
question:, by the general appearance OF
their farms. We have i'm our minds
eye n man we consider a model farmer.
His buildings are plain, but they are
neat and tidy; his barns are large, airy,
well ventilated and scrupulously clean:
his fences are common running plank
fences, white-washed, as are the barns
and out-houses above mentioned. Nc

tocks are fat and sleek. and his grass
and pasture lands are as free from
stones and logs and brush rs his parloI
floor.

his crops are rs good as the best No

=" The beart lendeth grace unto every
art, and no man who engages in farm
ing temporarily, or who has grown dis
contented with his life, and only waits
on the farm until some other business is
open to him. can ever hope to be sue

such must be studied.
The man who makes n successfulfarm-
er. rs the phrase goes. must:
1. Have taste for the business.
2. Once settled on the farm he must
make his home pleasant and comforta-

8. He must regard his farm as his
home for life time. No one can ex-

cages in it temporarily. Many failures

because they refuse to stick to any one
thing long at time. No man can hope
TO become proficient in more than one
profession in an ordinary lifetime. The
man, therefore, who enters upon the
life OF farmer should pursue the same
course exactly that the man who enters
the law or the medical profession pur-
sues, viz, he should determine in. the
outset to devote his life and talents
and his entire time to the business of
farming.
4. He should be diligent, and
8. Possess good judgment.
The man thus armed is the man for
the farm. 1t is only such men that
really deserve TO be dignified with the
honorable name of farmer. Forming
