keep out of Debt.

Farmers should start this yeal
with resolution to steer clear OF
the merchants ledger and thus
avoid the ruinous mortgage. Our
farmers in the south, as a rule, are
industrious persevering and ener-
getie. but they are too much given
10 the dangerous and slavish sys-
TEN Of contracting debts to make
crops. They have great hope
springs that make them adyentur-
Gus, causing them 10 discount the
future, which makes a very con-
siderable element in their philos-
ophy. Their intrepid faith in their
industry and energy and the hope
Of abundant crops causes them to
plaster their property with eyi-
dence Of Indebtedness, and when
this is done, they become slaves to
their creditors. The mortgage is

are by no means so certain as the
maturity and foreclosure Of the
mortgage. The aggregate of this
character ofindebtedness is incred-
IDLY larger in the cotton producing
states. and is one of the causes of
the continued and extensive cult
wilton Of that crop which impov-
eTishes the land and keeps the pro-
Queer IN abject poverty and slav-
cry They have an idea that cot
ton is the only thing that will re-
lieve the burden Of debt, while ex-
perience teaches that its persistent
culture and the neglect of raising
the grain and meat consumed in its
culture, Is a ruinous policy. By
raising one-half the amount we
would get more money, because as
we bower the production the price
will be raised with the demand.
This would give time and land to
the cultivation of the neeessanes
for home consumption, and remove
the necessity for creating an in
debtedness on every crop. If
every farmer would start out with
this idea, and a determination to
economic and keep out of debt
one year, they would find differ

that all the martlepieces be taken down
and that his wife put on no jewelry.
Not until May was he able TO take short
walkS
One bright morning Mrs. Goodwin
put on him heavy coat and sent him for
his usual walk in charge of a servant.
The path lay over one of the many
heaths that surrounded the great city of
London and past row OF houses in
course of erection. As the invalid and
his attendant approached one of these
houses a bod carrier came down a ladder
and commenced filing his hod with
bricks When the invalid was almost
opposite him the man looked up and
shouted to a fellow laborer on the half
built wall. This companion looked over
the side aud the bright sunlight, reflected
from piece of tin roofing, fell strongly
on his face Goodwin stopped short.
Then with bound he reached the lad
der, and before the servant could stop
him almost flew up. In an instant he
had the man by the throat.
You murdered the man Tom, " he
shouted.
"Stand off; you lie; back"' shouted
the man, recoiling aghast.
Then springing forward and putting
forth all his strength he hurled the weak
man to the ground below.
For a moment the double murderer
stood still. Then buttoning his coat
over his breast and stepping forward he
said:
'Men, killed Tom Britton. ''-Detroit

Leading her playmates in laughing row;

You thought her older, more than twelve

A MOaui Village in Arizona.

found an arched passage in the wall,
passing through which l entered plaza
or open square. Owing to the extreme
cold the streets were deserted. On every
side were bare, brown adobe walls,
without doors or windows; but the many
ladders leaning against the walls indi-
Gated that the entrance was by way of
the roof; and the columns of smoke curl
ing up from the chimneys gave evidence
of life and warmth that were to be
found within. Climbing up one of the
ladders found a circular opening in the
roof | removed the cover of woven
rushes and peered in. Beside cheerful
looking fireplace in corner of the room
were seated two women - evidently
mother and daughter after rccov-
ering from their establishment, beckOned
me to enter.

ground floor, and was given seat on
horace of Moqui, our attempts at con-
versation were unsuccessful; but as the
elder woman at once busted herself in
placing food before me | inferred that [
was welcome. The meal consisted of
jerked mutton and corn stewed in large
ola or earthen jar, jar Of steWed
peaches and a basket of peki, or corn
bread baked in sheets as thin as paper
and made into long roll, which also an
swered the purpose of spoon. Our
meal ended, presented my new found
friends with some smoking tobacco, of
which they are passionately fond, rolling
it into CT garettes with corn husks for
papers. We had settled down to So
cable smoke when 1 saw pair Of moe
casins and leggings dangling from the
entrance in the roof. To these were
gradually added the body and then the
head of Moqui warrior. Upon alight-
ing on the floor he introduced himself in
broken Spanish as "Mose," and assured
me that l had fallen into good hands,
and was welcome to Moqui land.-O0er-

A Horse in a Tree.

Norwich, Conn.,, has the only horse in
the world that has been in a tree. He is
an old blind horse, and has passed to the
stage when it is not of much consequence
to him where he is or what he does. In
hauling ice for the Norwich Town
Wooden Company ice house, which is on
the steep side of the Yantic river he
backed off the twenty five foot embank-
ment and lodged in the upper boughs of
an old elm. He rested there easily, his
fore-feet dangling over one limb and his
hind legs hanging over another, while on
his face was an expression that was in
terpreted to mean that whatever he was
he was satisfied that his Job had become
a better one than hauling ice up verti-
cal tackle. 1t was not easy to tell what
to do with him, and twenty men gathered
about the trunk Of the elm and thought.
Some one finally hit on an expedient. A
man went aloft and fastened a rope to
the tree top, came down, and thirteen
men took hold of the rope at safe dis
lance from the tree. The rest of the party
waited to see the horse and the tree
come down. The chopper cut the trunk
half through, the weight of the horse bore
the top downward, the descent being
guarded by the men at the ropes, and the
animal was gracefully and safely lowered
to the river ice. The horse was led around
the embankment, hitched to the tackle
again, and his job of hauling ice was re-
sumed. -N0rWich Record.

What the Prince of Wales Spends

The regular allowance of the Prince
of Wales by Parliament is GAO, 900
year, to which must be added e1O, 900
more which is annually allowed to the
Princess. He receives further annual
income of $50, 900 to so, 900 from the
revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall,
which is his by birthright. His in
come in round numbers is about $780,
900 year. He spends every penny of
it, and is often reported as being in debt,
although of late not so much of this
kind of talk is heard. 1t is said that the
Queen makes him some kind of allow
ance, as he bears nearly the whole brunt
of the royal entertaining. The Prince
is in his forty eighth year. He is scarcely
five feet seven, and has become quite
stout. He must weigh fully 80 pounds.
He dresses very neatly, but plainly. 1t
cannot be said that he is now leader of
fashions. That leadership has passed to
his son, Prince Albert VictoE.-Neu
