like this: A farmer was seeding grain
and having finished all but rolling and
picking up stones. had to 60 to the city
on business. He put his boy on the
roller and gave him directions to go
around the field and keep the track for
the next round clear of stone to prevent
breaking the roller and keep the ground
smooth. The boy made one round all

took home. The farmer went to an old
neigbbor, who had wrestled with nine
boys, for consolation, and asked him what
was the best way to fix them. He said
he had given it "a great deal of study
and thought, and had come to the con-

cal way was to salt them down in bar

For Young Men Who Are Thinking Of
Marriage.

Select the girl.
Agree with the girls father in poll
tics aud the mother in religion.
If you have rival keep nm eye on
him; if he is widower keep two eyes
on him.
Don't swear to the girl that you have
no bad habits. 1t will be enough to say
that you never heard yourself snore in
your sleep.
Don't put much sweet stuff on paper.
II you do you will hear it reod in your
after years, when your wife has some
special purpose, of inhicting upon you
the saverest punishment known to mar
ried men.
60 home at reasonable hour in the
evening. Don't wait till the girl has to
throw her whole soul into IL yawn that
she can't cover with both hands. A
little thing like that may cause cool
ness at the very beginning of the game.
If, while wearing your new summer
trousers for the first time, you sit down
on some molasses candy that Willie has
left on the chair, smile sweetly and re-
mark that you don't mind sitting on
molasses candy at all and that 'boys
will be boys" Reserve your true feel
ings for future reference.
If on the occasion of your first call a
girl upon whom you have placed your
affections looks like an iceberg aud acts
like cold wavo take your leave carly
and stay away. Woman in her hours
Of freeze is uncertain, coy and hard to
please.
In cold weather finish saying good
night in the house. Don't stretch it all
the way to the front gate, and thus lay
the foundation for future asthma, bron-
chitis, neuralgia and chronic catarrb, to
help you to worry the girl to death after
she has married you.
Don't lie about your financial cond-
tion. II is very annoying to bride
who has pictured for herself life of
luxury in ancestral halls to find that
you expect her to ask bald-headed
parent who has been uniformly kind to
her to take you in out of the cold.
Don't be TOO soft. Don't say "These
little hands shall never do stroke of
work when they are NINE" and you
shall have nothing to do in our home
but to sit all day long aud chirp to the
canaries, as if any sensible woman could
be happy fooling away time in that style /;
and girl has a fine retentiye memory
for the soft things and silly promises
of courtship, and occasionally, in after
years, when she is washing the dinner
dishes or patching the end Of your
trousers, she will remind you of them
in cold, sarcastic tone of voice.

"My good man, said the worthy lady
who bad given the tramp large plate

always prevailed 10 this household and
