old Simpkin's barn. Simpkins was
the richest and stingiest man in town.
One afternoon, several days before
Thanksgiving, we got talking about him,
and Jerry Bowles said; Hes all old
screw, but I bet he'll have the decency
to give us all Thanksgiving turkeys"
We laughed at that, and told Jerry he
might take it out in betting, for though
Simpkins had given us long job, he
wasn't in the least bound to consider us
permanent workmen.
But Jerry was obstinate and greedy,
and he talked and clustered till we were
tired of the whole subject, and | made
up my mind that he deserved a lesson. I
didn't say anything at the time but that
night | gave a hint to Tom Knowles,
crony of mine, and he quite agreed with

before Thanksgiving Knowles came to

half an hour had passed, and we thought
it safe to venture on our joking way. So
we drove to the corner next Jcrry's

himself, went to deliver the turkey.

WONDERFUL WATCHES.

IN the great museum Of London is small
watch, a hundred years old or more, in the
shape of an apple. The golden outside is
adorned with grains Of pearl.
KING GEORGE I'LL, of England, had a
watch not larger than a five cent piece,
which had l20 parts, the whole not weigh
ing quite so much as a ten-cent piece.
THE rarest collection of old watches in
the United States, if not in the world, is
owned by Giovanni P. Morosini, at Irving
ten, on the Hudson. He has from 500 to
1000, worth about $4,000.
In Swiss museum is watch only three
sixteenths of an inch in diameter, inserted
in the top of a pencil case. Its tiny dial not
only indicates the hours, minutes and Sec
onds, but also the day of the month.
The Swiss watch makers have invented a
watch for the blind a small peg is set in
the middle of each figure. When the hour
hand is moving towards a given hour the
peg for that hour drops. The person finds
the peg is down, and then counts back to
twelve.
CATHARINE l., of Russia, had musical
watch. In the interior was the Holy Sep
ulcher and the Roman guard. By touching
a spring the stones moved away from the
door of the sepulcher, the guard kneeled
down, angels appeared, and the holy women
stepped into the tomb and sang the Easter
song Of the Russian churches.

WHY FARMERS FAIL

The Chief Causes Leading to Poverty,
Slavery and Degradation.
The Commissioner of Labor Statis-
tics of Iowa, DR.. Z. r. Hutchins, re-
Gently sent out blank to be filed by
farmers, containing this question:
What are the chief causes which lead
to farmers failures?" 1t was answered
substantially as follows by Mr.. NJ. B.
Doolittle, of Cresco, Ia:
l. The markets. or consumers, are
too far from products.
.. Too high railroad freight rates.
5. Too high rates of interest on Dor
rowed capital.
4. Too many dogs and wolves in the
country and not enough sheep.
5. Too much fashion, too much
whisky and tobacco, and not enough
enterprise.
6. Too high lawyer and doctor fees
and not enough general intelligence.
Z. Two much party in politics and
not enough principle.
s. Too much listening to farmers
enemies and too little seeking for COM
mon sense for n guide.
9. Business as now conducted gives
the farmer no part in making prices.
When he sells, the dealer makes the
price of his produce; when he buys,
the merchant names the price ne must
paw, and both are generally against
the farmer.
10. The farmers greatest voluntary
act which enters into his failures is
the utterly heartless manner in which
he unhitches from a machine which
has plowed his corn, mown his hay or
cut and bound his grain, leaving it to
rot and rust in the field for the
aext eleven months. In Maine
and Massachusetts mems shoes are
manufactured and sold at $3.50
per pair Corn in that market is
never less, and often much more. than
IS cents per bushel. or two bushels of
corn for a pair of shoes. Middle-men
and railroads transport these shoes to
Iowa and sell them for So per pair.
Farmers pay for them with corn at %
cents per bushe1. or twelve bushels for
n pair of shoes The shoes are manu-
featured or produced for two and sold
to the consumer for twelve bushels of
corn. They who go off with the other
ten bushels have much to do with tho
failure of farmers
The Iowa Homestead adds to this list
two other causes-scrub stock, and the
itch for Office. To these may be added,
the want of economy. and of the adapta-
ton of expenditures to the productive
capacity Of the farm.-Ohio Farmer.
