A Thrifty Farmer,

The grasping-though not miserly
nature of the native New England
farmer is somewhat proverbial. 1t
is hard to get the better of him in

anything for nothing. His Keen
ness in this respect was we'll illus
trated by an experience of a young
Boston man who recently spent
a week in New Hampshire. The
young man wanted to hire a boat
for the day, and the farmer owned
one which was moored to the bank
of the river, Can you let me have
your boat for the day." he asked
of the owner ''Well, let me see, F"

A Fisherman's Smart Trick.

A party of four state-capitol
anglers went up the river the other
day to catch some fish. They
agreed that whenever one should
land fish each of the Others should
pay him a quarter. One of the
quartet was especially unlucky in
his piscatorial venture, and was
soon out of pocket 1926 and down
to his last quarter. He wanted to
break up the contract, but the
others wouldn't let him. Just then
ne stole one of the fishes caught by
another of the party, slipped it up
on his hook and into the water
He soon landed it with great
deal of splutter and noise, and re-
ceived six bits, when the others
were not looking he replaced it on
his hook and again went through
the act of landing a fish. He man.

Henry yil'arl.

Mr.. Willard, who has again come
to the front as the master mind OF
the Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany, was born in Speyer, Germany,
in 1885, in which kingdom his father
was first Bavarian Judge and after
wards occupied a seat upon the
Supreme Bench.
He was educated at the University,
and at the age eighteen came to
America to make a career for himself.
He studied law, but soon learned
that his tastes were better suited to
the atmosphere OF journalism. After
thoroughly mastering the English
language, he obtained an engage
ment, in 1855, to report the Lincoln,
Douglas campaign for an Eastern
paper. In 1859, he went to Colora-
| do, for the purpose of wri ting up the
gold discoveries, and in 1860, did
political correspondence for the n.
| Y. Herald.
During the war, he did active and
hazardous service, as correspondent
for the n. Y. Tribune, n. Y. Herald,
Chicago Tribune and Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, winning the
reputation of an enterprising and
reliable correspondent. From 1868
to 1870, he was Secretary of the
American Social Science Association.
While in Germany, in 1874, the
German bondho lders of certain
American railroad companies,
which had defaulted during the
panic of 1878, sent him as their re-
| preventative to repOrt the condition

Marrying by Photograph.

A prosperous Slavonian rancherre-
siding in the south end of the Huac-
huca mountains has hit upon hap
Ply plan for getting wives for his bach
elor neighbors. Some time ago he Wis
tied his native land and while there
found that there were n large num-
Der of worthy young ladies among
his acquaintance who would be only
too happy to find homes and hus-
bands in the land of progress and
liberty. Securing the photographs
of a number of these young ladies he
brought them back with him and
lost no opportunity to show them
to his bachelor friends. He told
them that he had the promise of
these young ladies that they would
come to America and marry the
man he would recommend, and as n
consequence, a great many OF his
neighbors have excellent wives, each
one selecting his choice from the
photographs. -Nogales Herald.

little volume of political character
relating to events then recent in
South Africa, of which he was well
qualified to speak. When he was
nineteen he had gone to Natal with
Sir Henry Bulwer, and during the
two succeeding years had served on
the staff of Theophilus Shepstone,
the Special Commissioner to the
Transvaal. He remained in the col
onial service until 1879, and then
returned to London to marry a
lady of distinguished family. Be-
cause of his wife, or for some other
reason, he remained in England and
adopted the profession of the law,
becoming a practicing barrister of
Lincoln's Inn, London.
While still in active practice at the
bar he began to write. The political
pamphlet with which he first courted
fame attracted little attention. His
next book was DAWN" published in
1884, and year later came 1.-THE

much heard of until they were recent

Business Success.

The secret of business success is
wrapped within this simple lesson.
Fortunes are not made, as a rule, in
great enterprises, but by the patient
p!odding in a narrow circle where lit
tie things govern the outcome of
career. Not the most skilful doctors
have The greatest number ofpatients,
nor the greatest lawyers the highest
pile of briefs. The most learned
divines do not make the best pastors,
nor stay longest in the parish where
all hearts are bound up in the minis
ter. In none of the walks of life is
true services for God and humanity
confined ogreat deeds such as blazon
the pages of history. Nor is the rec
ord that will finally startle the
world with it's wonderful revealings
made up chiefly OF that which men
call grand and heroic The story of
the cup of cold water given from the
hand OF love to some thirsty life will
glow with richer tints in that unerr-
ing chronicle than many of the great
benefactions more widely heralded in
earth's gazetteers. What seems to
most men like life devoid ofprecious
gifts, will wear in that divineT hue
the lustre of a glorious meaning
while much that awed the world with
it's glitter will be found at the last tC
have been poor, worthless tinsel
None OF us need to possess all knowl
edge, or give our bodies to be burn
ed in sacrifice, in order to be reckon
ed among those found true and faith
full in that which is least.-New Yorl

The emineut writer of She" and 9TH

author must finally and forever be
pronounced to be outside of the law,

can be persuaded to pass it
into law. The reader will re-

that committee of the Senate of
the United States having the mat

British authors under considera-
ton, was addressed by authors,
publishers and mechanics interested
in the publishing trade, on the sub
ject; when it was shown that the
literary industry would better thrive
in an atmosphere OF literary hon
or than under present conditions,

The Best Years Of Life.

All the Year Round.
From p to % might be the best
years of life, but upon one condition
only that seems possible. The con-
dition is, that the man be in bonds
of noble servitude of admiration to
a noble woman. There will be much
of disquiet attendant upon such q
service, but it will be the restlessness
of sure and certain growth, and
growth, in the highest direction.
All! but the woman must be ofexault-
ed mould-little Short, indeed, of a
divinity. Otherwise, it were diabolic-
al.
The Greeks had more than an ink
ling of this method, although, as a
rule, they could not rear such high
souled women as it is the privilege
of modern Europe to excel in. With
them the philosophers played the
part OF the woman. Often they play
ed it detestably, but not always.
The rare exceptions were those I'M
sexed men who had attained to the
state OF pure contemplative spirits,
to whom the world is but the shadow
OF a world. They made Greece.
Similarly, the woman of our age,
who, from the most unselfish motives
devotes herself to Understandable to
indivuals, or classes, or entire ma
tions-has in her the power to make
the man in his early manhood. This
is well known, but it is worth itera-
ton. If only we could keep colleges
of tried women for finishing of the
education OF our boysl | warrant
| the result would be astonishing.
