they were found. The prohibitory law has

Farmers and Farm Help.

In time of scarcity of farm help, and
when public works are bidding so high
| for labor, one of the worst troubles with
farmers is the uncertainty of having
help just at the important time. They
are in doubt about sowing or planting,
fearing that just in harvest they may
have no help. A hand may contract
for whole year at a stipulated price
per month. He works all through the
leisure time on the farm, but az soon as
the crowd of work comes he will de-
mand higher wages or quit work. The
farmer can not withhold part of the
wages to pay the damages, justices and
courts ruling that the hand must be paid
full price for past labor, and that he can
work his contract out or not as he
pleases. There is no doubt that hands
when they contract do it honestly, with
the intention of faithfully performing
But slight offense or dissatisfaction of
any kind destroys all good intentions,
and the hand quits just at the time most
needed.
On the other side hand may work
faithfully through a heavy harvest, with
the promise of constant work for months
after. But the farmer on the poorest
excuse discharges the hand as soon as
the press of work is over. This is wrong,
and works great injustice to both par
ties. There should be a remedy for
such evils on the part of 1aborer and
employer. Both should abide by their
contracts. II order to enforce such
contracts they should be in writing.
And the farmer in that contract should
agree to pay each month just what the
work is worth in that month, with
slight variation for the damages which
might accrue by its violation just in the
rush of business when labor cannot be
supplied.
If hand is worth S24O per year, a
written contract to pay 80 per month
for the months of January, February
and March. Twenty dollars per month
for April, May and June. Forty dollars
per month for July and August. Fifteen
dollars per month for September and
October. Thirty per month for Novem-
Der (corn harvest), and $40 for De-
cember, making for the year S24O. This
would be just to employe and en-
ployer. Then if IL hand Is discharged
from employment without good cause,
he should be entitled to full pay and
board until he can get employment or
until expiration of contract.
1here SnouiO De something uoHe more
effectually to make labor and pay more
certain. If man is compelled to pay
a hand for the full year, if the hand per-
forms his part, so should the hand be
compelled to work the whole year if he
contracts to, if the employer performs
his part. Uncertainty in labor is next
thing to uncertainty in pay. Aud any
fair plan which can be devised to render
justice to both sides is very desirable,
and would relieve farming of much OF
its anxiety and defeats.--Iowa State
Register.

What is Due Our Children.

Herbert Spencer would have been
much more wisely engaged had he
shown the American people the alb
surdity of heaping up gigantic fortunes
for their children to quarrel over after
their death. All that any parent owes
to a child is a good education ana q
profession. Our offspring have right
to demand that they should be equipped
for the battle of life, the only excuse for
leaving superGuous wealth being in case
any of the family are disqualified for
work. The aged parents, the widow
and the helpless child should have. at
least, means enough to sustain them
comfortably; butt fortunes left to
children have often wrought their ruin.
Tine girl becomes the prey of the
fortune hunter, while the young man
but too frequently spends his fathers
hard earnings in riotous living What
a vast social change it would make in
the United States, IL American parents
gederally REALIZED, that they owed
nothing to- their children. but the best
possibie education and profession or
trade, which IS the due of The daughter
as well as the son.-DenioreSt $

Bouquet Johnny, widely known
Philadelphia flower peddler, was a
Langtry victim. Whether his regard for
the beauty was a matter of sentiment
or business is conjectural; but it is GER
tain that he decided to give her an i'm
mense and costly bouquet in Philadel-
phia. He went to her hotel, sent up his
card, and was met by handsome young
woman, to whom he handed the flow
ers, with neat speech. She accepted
the gift very graciously, and he retired
in a state of wild delight, only to be
plunged down to despair by learning
that he had only seen Mrs. Langtry's
maid.-PAilG1elphia Record.

Yesterday morning early a colored
woman named Stubs breathed her last
in the old Cooper House, near the Macon
& Brunswick depot. Her brother,
George Stubs, worn out from sitting
up all night for several nights with his
suffering sister, gave q colOred friend
named York Radford four dollars to 60
down town and get coffin. York pro-
ceeded on his way down town, but on
passing store on Fourth street his eyes
Lit upon pair of boots that suited him
exactly. He wrestled with his con-
science little while, and gave the mer-
chant two. dollars and fifty cents and put
On the boots. rs -
He then presented himself before
Clerk Smith, of the County Commits
sioners, and laid before that official s.
panorama of poverty that was absolute
" appalling. He painted the destitute
condition of the Stubs family in tears
and sorrow, and so worked upon Clerk
Smiths feelings that he gave him an or
der for pauper coffin on r. r. Wilder's
Sons. York spent the remainder of the
money in dissipation.
About eleven o'clock George began to
grow uneasy about his sisters coffin. He
came down town to see if York had
been run over by the cars. He found his
man taking things coolly. George asked
about the purchase, and York said it
was all right. He asked George to wait
minute while he spoke to a man down
the alley. George would have. waited
until now had not a suspicion flashed
across his mind. He got Officers Me-
Cafferty and Golden on the track, and
soon they had York in the lookup. He
told the officers that the corpse was
ssfresh died" and could wait until he
could get the coffin there.-Macos (Ga.)
