OsTLER JOE

A Kentucky farmer has the fol-
lowing words Of wisdom to tobacco
growers in the Farmers Home Jour
nal; Don't let's overdo the thing
of planting too large crop of tobac-
co, because there is a boom in it at
present. For if we do, the bottom
will be knocked out of the market
before we dispose of the next crop.
Put in less number of acres; tend il
better; handle it with more care and
have better article for market. Then
you will have more money and less
work, and thereby we will not over
stock the market, for they say there
isn't nor will be an over-stocked mar
ket. Then hold your grip, and keep
the money devils from making all the
money out ofyour hard labor"

The whole relation of master and serv-
ant is today corrupt and vulgar. At
home in England it is the master who is
degraded; here in the states, by a triumph
of inverted tact, the servant often so con-
trives that he degrades himself. He
must be above his place; and it Is the
mark of a gentleman to be at home. He
thinks perpetually of his own dignity; it
is the proof of a gentleman to be jealous
of the dignity of others. He is ashamed Of
his trade, which is the essence of vul-
garity. He is paid to do certain services,
yet he does them so grufly that any man
of spirit would resent them If they were
g~ratitous f~avors; and this Of he will re-
fleet upon it tenderly) is SO far from
the genteel as to be not even coarsely
honest.
Yet we must not blame the man for
these mistakes; the vulgarity is in the
air. There is a ton In popular literature
much to be deplored; deprecating serv-
ice, like a disgrace; honoring those who
are ashamed of it; honoring even q
speak not without book such as prefer
to live by the charity of poor neighhors
instead Of backing the shoes of the rich.
Backing shoes is counted (n these works.
a thing specially disgraceful. To the
philosophic mind, it will seem a less ex-
ceptionable trade than to deal in stocks,
and one in which 1t is more easy to be
honest thar to write books.-Robert Louis
Stevenson In Scribner's Magazine.
