How to Drink a Farm,

Bob Burdette gives this simple
receipt: "My homeless friend
with the chromatic nose, while you
are stirring up the sugar in a ten
cent glass of gin, let me give you a
fact to wash down with it. You
may say you have Ionged tor years
for a Tree, independent life of a far
mer, but have never been able to
get enough money to gether to buy
a farm. But this is just whereouy
are mistaken. For several years you
have been drinking a good farm at
the rate of 100 square feet a gulp.
If you doubt this statement, figure
it out yourself. An acre of land
contains 43, $50 square feet. Esti-
mating for convenience the land at
s43. 56 per acre you will e that it
brings the land to just one mill per
square foot, one cent for ten square
feet. Now pour down the fiery
dose and imagine you are swallow
ing a strawberry patch. Call in
FIVE of your friends and have them
gulp down that 500 foot garden.
Get on a prolonged spree some day
and see how long it requires to
swallow a pasture large enough
to feed a cow. Put down that glass
of gin !; there's dirt in it-1O fee,
of good rich dirt, worth s43.56 pei
acre"

Sent From Here-All Out
and at Work.

More than n year ago three
boys were sent to the Reform School
at Boonville, Mo. They were
Harry Heath, Willis Mitchell and
Charlie Heath. They had been
arrested tor breaking into a store
at Vandalia and were as tough as
| you will find 'em. The following
letter to Sheriff Adams shows that
the school had a good effect on at
least n of them:
BooNvILLE, Mo-, Sept. IL, 1890.
DEAR SIR: [ guess GU remem-
Der the three boys that you sent to
the Reform School last February
a year ago. l am the one that
gave you so much trouble. I was
released over a month ago and l
am nlghtwatchman now. You
asked us to write to you sometime
and l thought l would write you a
few lines to let you know how I
was getting along. I was an awful
bad boy when you brought me here
but | saw it was not the kind of
life to lead and so | braced up and
made a man OF myself. l have a
good situation here now. We have
ninety-fve boys here now; seven
teen of them are colored boys.
We have made and burned three
k1lrs of brick this wear and expect
to make two more kilns yet this
year. Isuppose you didn't think
l ever would do any good. | was
such a bad boy and caused you so
much trouble but l am sorry l ever
gave you the trouble l did and ask
you to forgive me for. it. Well
this is about all l can think of at
present. So good bye.
