AND now it appears the white caps
have turned up simultaneously in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, and:perhaps other
eastern states, declaring their pur-
pose to drive out of the country per-
sons obnoxious to them. In view of
such a state of affairs vigorous methods
should be used and the lawless practic-
es stopped in their incipiency. If per-
mitted to gain such hold as has been
obtained by the Indiana gangs, the
white caps will do more to damage a
country than can easily be conceived.

NAL, by patting him and talking to him,

thereby partly diverting his attention.
AS soon as he begins to give me his at

one instance to start the horse. And
that exceptional case was one where the

STAY ON THE FARM.
View. of = Man who Has Tried AgrIoult-
uraI as Well as Business Life.

The farmers life is one mixed with
toll aud pleasure There is always
work to be done on the farm-a gate
to mend, a fence to reset, an OK in the
ditch, broken door to repair, a gar
den to pillow, a tank to build, a crop to
plant, crop to cultivate, a crop to
gather, and thousand things to keep
the active brain and willing hands and
feet employed; yet il the farmer wishes
q little recreation, he can leave his
tools and labor and spend day or two
in the woods with his gun, or day
with fishing-rod on the lakes and
streams. 1t is not so with the business
man in the city. His business must go
on. He can not shut his door and walk
out. II he takes u day off. he neccs-
sarily has to put some one in his place.
Farm-life is real enjoyable life, il
we'll planned; but it may be full of
misery if not managed with a view of
making and mixing pleasure with
business. Farmers do more hard
work than business men, and usual
ly live longer and harder. Farm
life is made more tolerable by the
Joy and happiness we get out of it.
The business man has his bills to meet
every month, and is often puzzled to
know how to make ends meet. He
loses hours of precious, sweet sleep
over embarrassments that stalk in his
pathway, while the contented farmer,
without the fear of being closed up by
the sheriff, takes his rest. Farmers
have bills to meet, it is true; but they
do not come like rifle balls from a gun,
every week or two. The writer has
tried farm life and loves it. He has
also tried business in the commercial
world, where no allowances are made
for dry weather, wet weather, short
crops or low prices. The commercial
world has no sympathy with bust
ness man. The day his bills fall due
he is expected TO meet them; if he is
unable his paper is liable to go to pro-
test, and his business to pieces. Those
who are doing we'll in agricultural
pursuits should let we'll enough alone.
The cities are overcrowded with pop
ulation and poverty. The most indie
pendent class of people in the world is
that class that have a good home on a
good farm and make their own living.
