Drinking n Farm.

My homeless friend with the
Chromatic nose, while you are stir
ring up the sugar in ten-cent glass
of gin, let me give you n fact 70
wash down with il. You say YOU
have longed for years for the FREQ
independent life of the farmer, but
have never been able to get enough
money together to buy farm. But
this is just where you are mistaken.
For several years you have been
drinking good improved farm at
the rate Of 100 square feetat gulp.
If You doubt this statement figure it
out for yourself. An acre of land
contains 1850 square feet. Esti-
mating, for convenience, the land
at s43.56 per acre, you will see that
it brings the land TO Just one min
per square foot, one cent for ten
square feet. Now pour down the
fiery dose and imagine you arc
swallowing a strawberry patch.
Call in five ofyour friends and have
them help you gulp down a 500 foot
garden. Get on a prolonged spree
some day, and see how long time
it requires TO swallow pasture
large enough 10 feed COW. Put
down that glass Of gin; there's dirt
in it-l0O square feet Of good, rich
dirt, worth s4s.5G per Bur-
dette.

cd of ascertaining whether one of
their prophets IS a true onezor a false.

Sons of Ynfernns

The appearance of tho Sons of Veterans mt
Boston was q great qualification to all their
friends. finer body of young mon never was
seen anywhere. They looked aud marched
well in ranks, and wherever they appeared
about the city they comported themselves rs
gentlemen. Their appearance In the parade
was very appropriate, Hundreds said, pointing
to them
" That is the way these veterans marching
before us appeared % years ago From them
you can imagine what these men were durin z
the war"
To know that there are 10000 Just such
loyal young soldiers, fairly drilled and disci-
plined, rs appeared in the ranks of tho Sons of
Veterans, gives feeling of security for the flu
ture There are enough Sons Of Veterans, with
the National Guard and the Regular Army, to
resist tho first onset of any army that could be
launched against us, and so gain tmD 60 organ
ize ourselves for war. The Sons of Veterans
are strong enough to occupy Canada If need
be, and let the volunteer regiments BIO organ
lied behind them.
One thing that was much commented on was
the soldierly patience the Sons of Veterans ex-
hibited In waiting the long hours that inter
vened between their assembling and taking
their place in line They marched to their
designated places about 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. and it was nearly six in the evening when
they were able TO take their place in the pro-
oession. But they waited good naturally, fell
In with full ranks, and marched as briskly and
accurately rs If the day had Just begun. The
veterans are very proud of their sons
