year-old Boston girl returned from
school one afternoon and was agreea-

James, who lives in Chicago, had just

James. kindly, as he lifted her to his
knee after the greeting over ; $50 you

young to go off to school all alone; and
what have you learned to-day?"
"Oh, we had short session to day."

that his Northern Pacific excursion

no returns. They have evidently got

The United States has many farmers
who are Gland poor" they have so
much land that they cannot make a
living on it. When they have learned
that it is not economy to own more
land than they can till in the most
profitable manner, so that it will pay
for the money expended in keeping
it from taxes, weeds. and other incum-
brances, they will have solved the
problem of ease in a farmers life.
The happiest and thriftiest farmers
we have ever known lived on farms
of less than one hundred acres-some
on farms of only ten acres, every foot
of which was made to count. On the
other hand, the farmer whohas somany
broad acres that he cannot walk over
them daily where rods of fence corners
are never cultivated or made of any
use, lives life of anxiety and worry.
His taxes are heavy and his crop
light. He cannot give reasonably
through cultivation to much land.
Now, if the farmers who owns one
hudred acres of land will sell half of it
and expend the money received for it
in cultivating the other fifty, getting
blooded stock and poultry, fertilizers,
ETC., he can make each acre produce
as much as two acres are doing now.
Ills taxes will be less, his cares less,
and his gains vastly greater.-The
American Farm and Home.

1t seems that mail agents upon the
western divisions of the Northern
Pacific are greatly overWorked. Not
a sufficient force OF men are employed
to distribute the mail along the way
and much of it has Teen carried to
Portland where il has accumulated in
large quantities. Some are inclined
to think that the amount of mail is not
so large but what the present force
can handle it but believe the agents
have too long routes and are compelled
to work too many hours. c. A. Boss

Office says the supervision of the

lutions of mails have lately come, was

attention; the maximum number of

County Commissioners.

The county commissioners were in session yesterday and granted liquor licenses to Will liam MeGrath and Richard PheIan, of Water bury, and decided four contested cases. In that of Henry Peters, of Cheshire, against whom it was charged that he had violated the liquor laws, license was granted by a vote of two to one Many of the cottagers at Stony Creek objected to the granting of license to George w. King, because of the objectionable location of his saloon. By the same vote as in the previous case license was granted. The granting of a license to Joseph Hodgson, of Milford, was objeced to on the plea that his saloon is within l5O feet of the church. The license was unanimously granted. In the case of Charles Van Horn, also of Milford, it was charged that his saloon was within I2 feet of church. The license was granted by vote of 2 to 1. The negative vote in the three cases came from Commissioner Jacobs.
