"THE FARMER MUST THINK"
In using the above expression, a Wisconsin
man drops into rhyme as follows:

In using the above expression, Wisconsin
man drops into rhyme as follows:
The farmer
Must think for the and think for the cow,
Think for the seed and think for the plow,
Think for the wheat and think for the corn,
Think for the house and think for the barn,
Think for the garden, the meadow and field,
Think of the culture and look for the yield,
Think for the horse, forget not his feed,
Think for the swine, the sheep and the breed,
Think of absorbents for pigs in the pen,
The compound returns in cellar and bin,
Think of the compost, prepare it in time,
The muck and the waste and the water combine.
Think of the fence, the wagon and gate,
Put in repair before it's too late,
Think for all tools that come to his aid,
The seeder, the reaper, the hoe and the spade,
Think for all animals that live on the farm,
Water and feed and protect from all harm.
These are not thinkers, but ready for use
When carefully sheltered and kept from abuse.
Think to secure them and keep in repair,
Use them in season and use them with care,
Think for the hands and think for the feet,
As mindful to think as thoughtful to eat,
Have books on the table and papers to read,
OF the trash of the press take diligent heed,
Choose from the mass the purest and best
And have them at hand when he sits down to
rest. Rural NeaO Yorker.

Wedding Fees.

Said well-known clergyman the other day:
~ think the clergy have too much to say
about the smallness of some of their wedding
fees. There is no earthly reason, in the first
place, why clergyman should receive any
fee for his service on such an occasion. If fees
are to be given at ALL they would be much
more appropriate when a clergyman is asked
to officiate at funeral, which in some cases
may consume several hours of his time. But
granting that wedding fee is allowed, my ex-
perience is that such fees are, as a rule, too
large rather than too small. | have officiated
at the weddings of great many mechanics
and workingmen, and in large majority OF
instances the grooms have given me So Some
of them have given me SIS and even $50.
Now, the lowest of these sums is out of pro-
portion to the average income of mechanic.
It is much more than they can afford for a
service which Christian minister should be
glad to render for nothing. And in my prac-
tice l have always returned the fee in such
cases, unless the groom was so foolishly proud
as to refuse it. But in doing so l admit that
am running counter to the almost universal
custom of the clergy. My own personal opin-
ion is that in an age like this, when the world
is so ready to find fault with the clergy, il
would be wise to abolish wedding fees entirely.
At the same time do not assume to decide the
matter for any one but myself. "-NeO York

selected dinner says the Philadelphia
Times. She does not always know very
much about sewing, unless, indeed, she
has been educated In q convent school,
but she picks her finger, irritates It with
O thimblG and works away on the petit
coat iOrthe heather all duringthe Lanten
weeks, and at Easter she announces her
engagement to the young millionaire,
who was charmed ut her industry and
who remembered that his mother told
him not to fall In love with girl who
had not hOuse.wifely instincts, Now,
this may have been the first bit Of sew
| ing she has ever done, but you may be
yery,scertain OF one thing, and that Is,
that having once found her cue she is
going to be wise enough to manage It
properly. She is by no means given To
letting her husband know her weak
nesses, and provided she makes his
holse pleasant, gives him good dinners
and is always q credit to him he Is not
likely to investigate the sewing depart
ment, and she Is not In the least likely
to tell OF her own shortcomings In that
respect.

She is club by herself and turns thu

F0FctI ana STedHl'
One bright morning last summer was
walking out in the country near town
looking for anything could find, and
seeing what | could In the bird line
when | was surprised TO hear a great
noise OF birds Chattering and cryingas u
under excitement, blended with cries Of
fear and distress. On coming nearer Il
the noise | saw a large number OF birds
there must have been at least one hun
dred OF all kinds on and about certain
tree. Some were flying to and some
from the tree, those flying away were
bringing more birds with them. There
were sparrows, bluebirds, Baltimore
orioles, robins, nuthatches, several wood
peckers, redbirds, bluejays, and many
smaller birds, but only one blaCkbird, q
very large one. And what struck me as
peculiar was the attitude Of this black
bird. He seemed to be fighting some.
thing, as he would throw forward his
feathers and raise his wings, then strike
at something very seriously, while the
other birds would utter cries Of enCour-
ment aud rage.
| watched them for some time, Won
dering what it could all mean, when
something dropped Mt my feet. Looking
down | saw 4 house.snake about elgh'
teen inches long. 1t started up the tree
aud killed it with q stone. As soon as
tho snake fell aud the birds began flying
about as il Congratulating each other on
their victory, and 1t really seemed that
their cries were changed to Joy.
Curious to know more / climbed the
tree, when the birds, instead Of flying,
as might DO supposed, iluttered around
me as II to scare me away. In a fork OF
the tree where the fight had taken place,
found asparrow's nest with five young
ones, which the snake was after. Their
parents, not feeling able to cope with
the enemy, had undoubtedly gone for
help. The blackbird was the champion
and did all OF the fighting, while the
other birds did the talking" This
seemed very strange TO me. He would
attack his foe fercely until tired, then
retire few feet, and then begin again,
thus fighting alone for the young OF 0
bird OF an entirely different species. !
sat and wondered whether these birds
had selected him as their protector, or
had he taken the battle upon himself
He certainly fought well.

cEn's recent suggestion that general

get gus at home.
II one individual or one corporation
owned all Wheeling a supreme effort
would be made to get gas in 80 rgomis'
ing a territory. At least the drill would
be sent down until it either found gas OF
demonstrated beyond question that gas
is not to be had here. Every manu-
featuring establishment in Wheeling
every business man; every workingman
everybody whose living depends on
the prosperity Of Wheeling, is interested
in this problem. Itshould not be dill.
cult to raise the necessary amount Of
money to make the test.
The Chamber Of Commerce could not
doa greater service than to take thcmat-
ter in hand and give thepeople chance
to show whether they are sufficiently
interested to put up the money. The
Central Glass Company is ready to head
the list. Surely others arc ready to join
in so good u movement.
