Sound judgment in planning operations
on the farm are often of fully as much
importance as industry in execution. An
exchange seys: Work is undoubtedly
the basis of all wealth, but we notice that
the man who works with his hands all the
time usually gets but very small share
of what his labor creates. Ii is the man
who puts thought into his work who
makes the money the world over. and
this is probably more emphatically
the case in farming than in any
other business. for the good reason
that farming requires mere study and
thought than any other. Again. the farm
er who is constantly hurried cannot do as
well as he knows. let alone the impossi
bility under such adverse circumstances of
his learning better methods. Hurried
work is seldom satisfactory work, and in
farming it is seldom remunerative, be-
cause much of it is necessarily lett until
all chance for profit has passed. The
farmer who allows his work to crowd him
at anv time is sure to make at least par
tial failure of some crops. besides greatly
increasing the aggregate amount of work
to be performed"

Southern Manufacturers.

1t may be admitted that fer certain classes
of work tha South furnishes a fair and prom
ising field; but our Northern manufacturers
will be completely at fault in their expressed
judgment if the opportunities offered are Of
quality which will enable the Southern peo-
pie to enter into this business in any other
than an exceedingly restricted manner. 1t
is an obvious saving in manufacture to have
cotton growing in fields adjacent to the fac
tory where it is to be converted into cloth;
but transportation is only one Of number of
items which enter into the cost Of production.
This can be more than offset by ingenuity
aud the ability and willingness to work stead
lily and patiently. These are mental and ply
steal gifts that have yet to be developed In
the Sonth. The records of the patent Office
afford the best possible proof that the people
in that section Of the country do not possess
that peculiar mental organization which
makes them constantly on the alert to devise
some means by which labor can be lessened,
work expedited and money saved. Again,
their whole system Of labor is based on the
ories concerning the value of time, which
have no counterpart in the North.-Boston
Herald.

Mary aged l6, occupy the same room in their
home, on Gordon street, Allentown, Pa A
father and son of Mrs. Smith occupy an ad-

O'Clock Wednesday night and were undisturb-

Smith then discovered that the doors had
been unlocked and that thieves had been in
the house. While investigating the discovery
her daughter awoke and was Mortified to find
that her long braid of black hair, which grew
unusually thick and rich, had been cut off
during the night. The hair was her especial
pride and to lose it was source Of great
srief to her. She complained of feeling
of dullness and headache and, with Mrs.
Smith, showed signs of having been drugged.
1t is supposed the thief entered the house,
chloroformed a watchdog and the mother and
daughter and then cut off the hair with a
knife or razor. There are no clues to the
perpetrator. The hair when braided was
nearly three feet long.

A Champion at Checkers.
SOMETHING Amour AN OLD MAN Who LIVES
TO Play AND Plays TO LIVE.

Friday about noon man with gripsack
and large cane dressed like a farmer and
looking as if he had just blown in from the
backwo oods. came to town. 1t soon turned
out that the uupretentious and verdant look
ing stranger was no less a man than James
Wiley, the champion checker-player Of the
world. Mr.. Wiley is a Scotchman and has
beaten the best players that the world has
produced and now he is regarded by all as
the champion. He has been playing in Bloss-
burg and thonght he would take in Elmira
while in this vicinity. Yesterday he played
with Counselor NJ. NJ. Mead, Postmaster
Berry. Col. Wheaton and one or two others
of the best players in the city. None of
these men were able to do anything against
him. Last evening he played with Frank
Sackett, the champion of the city. Mr.
Sackett succeeded in getting three draws ont
of nine games.
He is man about 90 years of age. His
hair is white and like Horace Greeley, he
wears beard under his chin. His deafness
makes it impossible to carry on conversa-
ton with him. He sits quietly, not taking
his eyes of the board and taking no notice
of those about him or anything except his
game. He wears spectaces and has an in
telligent and kindly face and good head He
has done nothing else but play checkers ever
since he was 10 years of age. His game
cannot be beaten. He looks away into a
game, and before an ordinary opponent has
commenced ne has won the game. He makes
a good living by playing, as there are plenty
of enthusiasts who willingly give % cents to
play with him. and plenty more who will give
that amount to see him play. He lives in
Scotland and has been in this country about
six months, although this is not his first visit.
