Inferior Small Tools.

We do not like to discourage pur-
chase Of expensive farm machinery.
Farmers are conservative enough in
this respect, and for those who are not,
events have the past few years been
teaching most valuable lessons But
very many save without economy in
refusing to purchase new, lighter and
more effective small tools for working
the soil 1t makes all the difference
in the world for hoelng in the garden
whether the hoe is sharp, light and
easily handled, or dull, heavy and
clumsy. The man who WORKS by the
day and furnishes his own tools under
stands this. The sharpness OF his hoes
and their greater efficiency in work
often set the farmers son to thinking
about the mistaken economy his father
exhibits in the tools that he thinSs
good enough for his boys to work
with.

WHAT WAS IT ?

Below is conversation which took
place on the street lately, and jotted
down by Ill. &. Maloney for the benefit
of the community:
Small boy-"Papa, what Is that cold
looking object standing over there?"
Father-"That, nay son, is what is
sometimes, by mistake, called man.
1t aspires to be a journalist, but should
have turned its attention to the barber
business. as 'whiskers' troubles 1t more
than its efforts to run paper"
but, papa, it has NO whiskers; how
is that? 2"
"There are several Geasons why it has
not. Sometimes that class are too mean
for hair to grow on their faces; some
times they are too effeminate, and
often the hair becomes ashamed of the
face ana grows in, and, reaching the
place where the brains ought to be,
makes the person thus afflicted hair
Drained"
rs that what insinuated that a GER
tain person in the village had to go to
Canada Il year ago OH account of some
;escapade p"
Yes, my child; but that statement
was false, as the person referred to did
not have to go TO Canada. and has not
been working outside of Michigan for
over three years"
We'll, papa, what do they call an in
diNidual who makes false statement ?"
There are several names for such,
the most common being "A liar"
1T is said that it would not pay a
man whom it had working for it, his
wages, and that in towns it inhabited
before coming here it left numerous
unsettled accounts. Now, papa. what
do they call person who will not pay
his bills or refund borrowed money!
"a dead-beat, my son, and always
avoid such person"
"There is rumor that after being
discharged from a printing office in the
village for incompetency, and after it
had conceived the idea of starting a
paper for itself, it took a subscription
list from said office for the purpose of
working up subscribers for its sheet.
Under what heading does an individual
come who takes what does not belong
to him?"
''Such person would be called a
sneak thief
"And, papa, they say it purchased a
revolver lately; what was that for?"
ut published false and filthy item
in its scurrilous sheet, and was afraid
that punishment would follow and
bought the revolver to defend its puny
carcass. But the person traduced knew
that he could not touch skunk and
escape untainted. so decided to pay no
attention to the slanderous attack"
But, papa, why did it publish the
item 2"
probably to bring the person SIAN
dered down its own level"
Just then the object moved off and
the small boy asked:
where is 1t going now, papa"
ut is likely going to the nearest sa-
loon to play cards for the drinks"
Does it cost anything to play cards
in saloon -
"YeS, dear"
"Then how is it, papa, that it can
play cards and will not pay its work
men?"
THAT, my sou. is a way some people
have of exhibiting to the public the
amount of principle they possess
At this point father and son walked
away, the latter murmuring SNEAK
thief, dead-beat, liar, slanderer," etc.
