THE LOST CHANGE.

81 could give good home to some
poor boy, Mr.. Wise, If only knew
the right sort of a boy to give it to, ;"
said q pleasant-looking gentleman
who had stopped at the village
school one afternoon after the chill
d1eu had gone home.
"Indeed?" said Mr.. Wise, looking
up from his desk with sudden IN
terest. u am glad to hear it, for
there are several boys in my school

such a chance"

to tell me something about his
character, for 1 want boy whom 1
can trust"
"When would you like to have
him come to your" asked the school
teacher.
II should like to talk with him
as soon as possible, for l have
something for him to do. OF
course 1 would require some help
from him out of school hours.
should like him to run errands and
do certain light things about the
house; but l should be very careful
that ample time was left him to
prepare his lessons, as well as some
time for his amusement. Every
boy needs some recreation, you
know. Do you think of any one
now, Mr.. Wiser"
Mr.. Wise hesitated.

any one" he said, at last, his face
growing more thoughtful. at is
not that cannot think of any one,

The Farm a Bank of Deposit.

What would be thought of a man
who with a capital, the interest oil
which would enable him to live
comfortably and add each year
something to the principal,
who would draw annually on,
his original capital for supportf
Yet this is just what a large MAORI
ty of the farmers and planters OF
the south are doing. The farm is
their bank, Sin which are deposited
stores of comfort and wealth in the
shape of necessary constituents of
plant life, food for the production
of crops. Every year the farm is
drawn on for q portion Of its
rich deposit, and year by year
the bank is being drained of treas
ures which are squandered.
The cotton crop is one which
draws largely on the most valuable
constituents of the soil, and if the
Interpretation of the soil is taken
Off this crop will soon break the
planters bank, in other words, will
impoverish the best farmer in the
world. Fortunately, while the pro-
ductiSl of cotton crop is a heavy
drain GU the plant food o>the farm,
that portion of which requires by
far the heaviest feeding, the seed
can be returned to the soil,
leaving the drain upon its food re-
ally less than that of any other
crop.
But in how few cases is this
done? The planter, instead OF
placing again in his farm bank this
source of wealth, sells it for half its
worth to the oil milla, giving to
them the wealth he should lay up
for himself from year to year. The
money he obtains for his seed is
not expended for other plant food,
but is dissipated-for what he can
not tell-at the end of the year.
The treasure is drawn from the
bank and lost.
If the money obtained for this
of fertilizers were expended for 9th
ers TO take its place; and if there
were fair competition in the pur-
chase of cotton seed, it is easy to
see that the loss would not be so
great. But the oil mills being few
IN number, the owners are enabled
to meet in secret conclave and COM
bine with one another to fix the
price of the most valuable product
the farm, and of is very certain that
the price set will be such as
will afford the mill owners good
margin for profit.
Then, even, the pittance allowed
the farmer by those who hold them
in their power is seldom invested
for the improvement of the soil, and
year after year its plant food grows

A MAN WHO SUFFERED MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL AGONY EIGHT YEARS PRO-
CLAIMS HIS HAPPINESS.
Mental agony is dreadful, but when that
and physical ailment combine, it is simply
terrible. Such was the condition of Geo.
w. Frampton, of Huntingdon, w. Va,
for eight years. He was a sufferer of ne
croses-that is, the leg bone at the ankle
was infiarned and mortified, which caused

the treatment of a physician at Newport

good, and they all finally said my case

Mr.. ALI. Lusk, Wooster, Ohio, writes:

L think l could tell you with more
satisfaction"
every well, them" replied the
gentleman, 81 will call again on
Friday afternoon. l am anxious to
help whichever one would prove
most worthy of the chance and most
likely to improve it,"
SO the matter was left and all the
next day the teacher watched the
two boys, but there was nothing to
weigh the balance on either side.
Stephen was a good boy, faith
full, slow going fellow; but Jack was
very much brighter, and, as far as
Mr.. Wise knew, equally good.
Friday noon came, and much to
his regret, Mr.. Wise was obliged to
keep Stephen after school to study
a lesson in which he had failed. He
WAS sorry for the boy, too, for he
felt sure that there must be some
excuse for his failure; but the rule
must not be broker, whoever should
be the sufferer.
Il am sorry to leave you here, my
boy" he said when the last boy had
gone, "but shall have to go to din
ner now" And taking his hat, he
was soon out of sight
But he could not bear to think of
the lonely boy in the deserted school
room-the boy who was always so
faithful; and, after a much shorter
absence than usual, he again step
ped into the vestibule,
There was a sound of voices in
the room, and before he could en-
ter further he heard in a loud tone
the words:
Il wouldn't stay here alone all the
noon hour-see if 1 would. He'd
never know the difference if you
were back in time. You've got 25
minutes yet. Come along with me
now. I'm doing little spading in
Mr.. Blake's garden; he pays me for
my noon hours, and 1 eat a lunch
out of my pocket instead of going
home. But l don't work much
when he's out of sight-you can
depend on that"
81 mean to be honest, Jack, what
ever 1 90. I'd rather lose my whole
incoming, dinner and all, than to de
ceive about it. I believe in being
straightforward, whether you work
or study" 1t was a clear, manly
voice, and Mr.. Wise stepped into
the room and grasped the boy
warmly by the hand,
Il have been offered fine chance
for one of you sboys," he said, "and
until this moment / have been una
bic to decide which of you ought to
have it; but am no longer in
doubt"
Then, in few words, he told
them of the opening just given; and
Jacks head hung very low as he re-
allied that he had lost his chancs.
Stephen went to his new home,
where be was respected and loved;
as for Jack, let US hope that he
learned, through his disappoint-
ment, the Lesson he SO much needed
But it was always with Il feeling Of
pain and regret that he looked at
the illuminated card which Mr..
Wise caused TO be hung on the
wall of the school-room, for ON it
were the words:
"The lip Of truth shall be estab-
lished forever; but a lying tongue
is but for a moment" Truth Seeker.

FAST RUNNING.
The Sort Of Times They Make Out West.

Inc Sort OF Times Ihey Make Out West.
Eve heard tell a great deal about
fast running, lately" said the en-
gineer; they talk of their "a miles
in so minutes, as if it was an easy
matter, but my opinion is, half of
these stories are lies-yes, sir, lies,
open and shut. / don't see what a
man wants to lie about a little thing
like a fast run for. If it was fast it
was fast, and if wasa't quite so fast
it was a little slower. That's all
you can make of it.
Did l ever make fast run my
self? Yes, 1 did, but don like TO
tell about it, for fear you'll think
I'm stretching things. 1 never
stretch. 1 despise this lynn that's
gettin' to be so common, but if you
want to hear a good, straight mat

can tell it to you. l was running

Fighting Time for Forty Years.

Spirit OF the Farm.
Since 1914, when Lady Suffolk
formed the then unprecedented feat
of trotting mile under saddle in
1926, the trotting horse had been
racing against time, the most diff
cult of all contestants to conquer.
For twelve years she stood unsur-
passed, but in 1856 Flora TempIe
the little bobtailed daughter of
One Eyed Kentucky Hunter, cut it
down q. half second and three wears
afterward astonished the world by
scoring the first mile under 3 20.
So far the records had been broken
by mares; but in 1869 Dexter came
out as king of the trotting world.

Some say that politics have moth
ing to do with agriculture. Don't
be alarmed, l am not introducing a
political argument-though the
politics of American agriculture,
pure and simple, should be better
understood by every farmer in the
land. In presidential contest the
candidates are placed on pedestals,
as it were, representing certain
ideas, and it becomes at once a
struggle for principles. What
would happen were all the farmers
in this broad land to get their
backs up some morning over such
an idea as the price of the incom-
ing wheat crop, and bull the mar
ket. Suppose all the dairy far
mers in a given county should vote
to sell their milk at a stated price
after a particular date, or manufac-
ture it into butter and cheese them
selves? What if all the wool were
locked up until the manufacturers
were willing to ask, "What is the
price of wool today
Again some one will remark that
such things will never come to pass
in this country, as combination
among farmers would be as prepos.
ferrous as it is impossible. And
yet the railroad kings put their
heads together and get up pools,
the manufacturers, the middlemen,
and all creation, for that matter,
combine to fix both the buying and
the selling prices for farmers, and
they must submit with lamb like
meekness or keep their produce at
home. There Is a political future
for the farmer-without regard to
party-and the earlier he essays to
look over the stone wall that sepa-
rates him from the outside business
world the better it will be for him
self and family, and for American
agriculture. But farmers must
stand together.

Why Not Business Farmers2

Why is it that farmers, as a class,
are such poor business men; and
why are the purchasers of farm
produce almost invariably allowed
to fix prices?
oh" somebody will explain,
cts just like stock transaction,
you know, prices go up and down
according to the state Of the mar
ket, and The thing regulates itself"
Precisely! In fact 1t is altogeth-
er too much like the stock market,
though the thing emphatically does
not regulate itself. AS the farmer
referred to told his boy, the elevator
men find the wheat "of very poor
quality" mixed with dirt" etc,
etc, and fix the price arbitrarily to
suit themselves. The creamery
men do the same thing with the
milk, rising or Towering half "a
cent a quart, without consideration
whatever of the farmers interests.
Other produce is sold in very much
the same way, and now the almost
universal question asked by the
producer when he has anything to
sell is:
"What are you giving for so-and-
so to day?' The middleman die
tates terms; the farmer takes what
ne can get, and the more pressing
his need for ready cash the lower
the price. Is there no remedy?
~
Let US imagine a railroad corpo
ration saying to a large wheat
grower: What are you paying to-
day for havisg your wheat trans
portedY' or the agent of e big fer
tilizer company asking meekly:
"How much are you giving for su
perphosphate, this morning, Mr..
Plowshar?' or the agricultural ma
chine manufacturer suggesting with
a sickly smile that he "Orter have
leetle more for that reaper The
reaper and the fertilizer represent
so much material, labor and inter
est on investment manufacturing
plant); the wheat, corn and cotton
also represent so much materl-
al labor and interest on investment
farm, stock, etc and the market
can be overstocked with one set of
products as well as glutted with the
other. Yet the railroad corpora
tions and the manufacturers always
fix the cost of transportation and
price their merchandise, and you
may take them at the figure named,
or let them alone, or go elsewhere
and pay the same. 1t is even
worse, for now a-days the railroads
not only fix the cost of transporta-
ton, but often the price the grain
will receive at destination. This is
all wrong.
