finally rest in Portland's Evergreen Cemetery.
Why this display? Well, we will tell you
briefly. When God made Con O'Brion He
placed his heart half way between the sense in
his head and the cents in his pocket. He had
a heart for every mortal in distress, kind
word for every child, GLOW do you do,
mother" for every old lady on his train, no
matter how poorly dressed, a good morning
uncle" for every old man, a clasp of the hand
for every acquaintance. Was it any wonder
that he was beloved, that true hearts grieve at
his untimely death?

How WESTERN CITIES GROW

How WESTERN CITIES GRow.-A
Western man has been telling some Phil
adelphians how Western cities grow.
He says he went off into the mountains
hunting, and, night coming on, he went
to sleep in a tree to be out of reach OF
the wolves He was awakened early
the next morning by some workmen,
who told him to get down and finish his
nap on the court house steps, as they
wanted to turn that tree into flag pole
down, and, while rubbing his eyes, was
nearly run over by street car and got
his feet tangled in an electric light wire.

HEDGE FENCEs.-The matter of fenc-
ing is one in which every farmer takes
the keenest interest. To prevent depre-
dations by stray stock and to beautify
the farm are the two chief points to be
gained by strong, well-built fences. In
new countries there can be no question
that the proper fence is the hedge, which
is, when grown, perfect protection
against cattle and other stock, while in
point of beauty it excels all Others. In
certain sections of Illinois, among the
farmers of Sangamon and Morgan Coun-
ties particularly, are found hundreds of
miles of hedge fences, and the effect of
a drive over the pastures of these stock
farms surrounded by this beautiful fence
is to suggest at once its general use.
Beginners should plant a good hedge,
which when grown will never need re-
pairing. Cattle will not venture to break
through; the purchase of lumber for re-
pairs will never be required, all the at
tention necessary being the yearly clip
ping and trimming.
