As thrifty farmer the Bohe-
milan takes the blue ribbon. He
comes to this country without a
dollar, and goes to farming. For
a short time he rents land. and
then buys a farm on credit. He
wants only four years in which to
pay for it, and frequently dis
counts this time. Till he gets his
land paid for, all his cotton, and a
part of his corn and other pro
ducts go toward paying this debt.
He is not without -four, sugar and
coffee, but these are purchased
with the proceeds of butter, chick
ems, eggs, etc. He takes good
care of his stock: has fat horses
and COWS, and gets FIVE dollars a
head for his young stock when
only year old. His smokehouse
is not in Chicago. He raises his
own meat and at but little cost.
When he goes from the field to
dinner he carries an armfdl of
grass to the COW, and is always on
the lookout in regard to little mat
ters that put a farmer on the road
to prosperity When the harvest
time comes his crop is not swal-
lowed up by mortgages-there is
never a lawsuit about the owner
ship of the bales of cotton that he
has raised. docs farming pay?"
Well, yes; it pays him. He is very
industrious, but always takes time
to go to the polls and vote the
ticket. The solution
of the race problem does not
trouble his mind, for he is too
busy solving his own problem. He
does not ask congress to pass
sub-treasury bill, fill the country
with warehouses in which to store
and hold his crop for better
price, and to advance him a per
cent on the same, because he pre-
fers to keep his business in his
own hands, and to store his own
crop, untrammeled, on his own
premises, when he has a surplus,
and can afford to do Weimar

Women in riding toggery are now so
familiar in the up town streets that they
no longer attract attention. Some of
them do not even bother to wear wraps,
but walk nonchalantly along clad only in
their tight fitting cloth habits, vanished
boots and high hats. There was time
when woman in this sort of satire
would have attracted a great deal of no.
tice, but even the errand Boys do not
turn to stare at the Square shouldered
and athletic looking girls who swing
about town in their riding habits. They
drop in on one another, stop to luncheon
or take a cup of tea after a ride exactly
as they would in the countrys The pop
ulace is slowly but surely Becoming edu-
Gated upto the manners and habits OF
the riding set of New York girIs.-New

The Home Paper.

When you got married to the
brightest and best girl in the
county, where did you look for
that notice that meant so much to
you, and so little to nearly every
body else? To your Home Paper.
When your home was invaded
by the blue eyed girl, or the
bouncing baby boy, to whom did
you make it your business to con-
vey early information as to the
sex, the time and the weight? q
the editor of that Home e.
In after years, when q
ly young fellow takes the
eyed girl to home of his own, OF
your once bouncing boy-now a
mans given a partnership in the
store because he has just brought
home somebody else's daughter
and set up an establishment of his
own, to whom do you personally
exhibit the wedding presents and
to whom do you look for that COM
plete description of the interest
ing event, down to the last pickle
fork and individual salt cellar
which, once more, means so much
to you and very few others, and
so little to anybody else? To the
same editor of the same Home
Paper.
And when trouble comes in the
home, and you add to your pos
sessions that desolate bit of realty
the lot in the cemetery, and some
how the sun doesn't seem to shine
as it used to, and there's the fut-
ter of Grape at the door and the
oder of the tube rose in the front
parlor, and the chair that has for
years been beside yours at the
Preside and opposite you at the
table is vacant-when all this hap
pens who makes it his business to
write in tender strain of the one
whose life has grown to be a part
of yours, and whose sympathy and
good deeds to others has long been
known and recognized, if never
publicly announced?
The editor of the Home Paper;
and he's only too willing to do the
little that he can to help you over
the hard spot in the road.
And all these years you've adj
vertised in this Home Paper, and
done what you could to help the
editor fight your battles in NUM-
,ipal and county matters, and en-
him as he has worked to
build up the town and bring bust
ness to it?
How is it? Have you? -Ex-

/ New ORLEANS, La, June ~
The senate committee, to which
the lottery bill passed by the
house last Wednesday was refer
red, reported it back, increasing
the amount to be paid by the
Louisiana state lottery company
for the privilege to s1,25O,OOO a
year instead of 100000, and for
the entire period of twenty-five
years s31, 100000 instead of s25.-
100000. The change was due to
Mr.. Lawton of Algiers, who, when
the question came up Wednesday,
announced that he would vote
against the bill unless the amount
paid by the company was increas-
ed a quarter of million, to the
amount offered by the English
syndicate. This was agreed to
by the friends of the lottery COM
pany, and Lawton then cast his
vote for the bill, thus assuring its
passage, but costing the company
s6,25O,OOO. The addition, S25O,OOO
goes to the general fund of the
state, and can be used by the leg
islature for any purpose what
ever.

Jay Gould at the theatre always sits in

allows himself to be seen by the audi

to emerge from his place of concealment
and crane his neck over the edge Of the

suddenly aware Of his conspicuous posi-
ton, and quickly sinks into the back

Alasl alas they loved to well and

best physicians 1 could find, and
tried numbers of proprietary med

all this time, until my whole sys-

ease; my tongue and throat having
great holes caused by it. 1 then
commenced taking Swift's Spec
