A Row nn a Farm

\ DOy OU IL fIfu.
1t Is quite likely that no country boy
needs to be told about the life of boy
on farm, but he may more truly
realize his own importance by reading
what Charles Dudley Warner says
about him.
ut is my impression says Mr..
Warner, THAT Il farm without boy
would soon come to grief. What boy
does is the life of the farm lie IL the
fRctotuIn, always in demand, and
always expected TO do the thousand and
one things that nobody else will do.
Upon him fall the odds and ends, the
most difficult things. After everybody
else is through, he is to finish up. His
work is like woman 's--perpetnally
waiting on others. Everybody knows
how much easier it is to cook a good
dinner than to wash the dishes after
ward.
"Consider what a boy on farm is
| required TO do-things that must be
done, or life would actually stop. II is
understood, in the first place, that he is
to do all the errands, to 90 To the store.
to the postoflice, and to carry all sorts
as the centipede they would tire before
night.
'.He is the one who spreads the grass
as the men cut il he slows it away in
the barn; he rides the horse To cultivate
the corn up and down the hot, weary
rows; he brings wood and water and
splits kindling; he gets up the horse
and turns ont the horse. Whether he
is in the house or out OF the house,
there is always something to do. Just
before school in the winter he shovels
paths; and in the summer he turns the
grindstone. And yet, with his mind
full of schemes of what he would like to
do, and his hands full of occupation,
he is an idle boy who has nothing TO
busy himself with but school and chores.
He would gladly do all the work if
somebody else would do all the chores,
he thinks; and yet doubt if any boy
ever amounted to anything in the world,
or was as much use as man, who did
not enjoy the advantages of liberal
education in the way of chores. -

Go away from home to learn the news.
The following is clipped from paper
away down in Michigan. Do You know
the parties? ..Hiram Roberts is q fioh.
but eNcitable citizen of Lexington, No.
He returned unexpected to his Dome,
last Thursday night and was stlrprised
to find that wedding was in progress
and he not hidden guest. The par
ties to the marriage We're Roberts
divorced daughter, Mrs. Jennie Fitch
and Frank Hoard. They had just
grabbed hands and were to be pro-
nounced one, when Roberts came in.
He took young Mr.. Hoard by the naps
of the neck and the western extremities
of his trousers and literally lifted him
into place of prominence, then pitch
ing the poor boy out into the cold
world, out into the street. The BRIDE
apparent was locked in her room and
will be kept there until the crisis is
passed. Roberts says his daughter was
u fool for getting divorce. and that,
Hoard is u fool for wanting 10 marry
her. That's why he interrupted the
ceremony. Poor Hoard is sore over
the affair, and threatens To prosecute
the whole family Mrs, Fitch threatens
to marry her lover just rs soon as she
can get ont. And that. the way il
stands at this writing.

The Alliance in Earnest


1t must be admitted that the Allianc
is showing its strength and presenting
strong claims on the respect of oi,
politicians. Not only has il chose
several representatives in the house o
the fifty-second congress, but, what
great deal more, it has chosen tws
United states senatOrs-an eXtraordi
nary exhibition of power in a new
party. The defeat OF Ingalls, in Kansas
is notable event. Indeed, it is more
it is one of two notable events, Tor u
is the counterpart of the defeat oi
Hampton in South Carolina; and tho
two taken together mean no little. The
Alliance has not yet determined to take
position as a separate party III national
politics-and it may not. Present IN
dications are strongly against such a
step and the real influential leaders and
counselors of the movement will do well
to think twice before they allow them
selves to be urged into taking it-forl
the Alliance is accomplishing so much
for the cause of farmers and the farming
west i'm its present attitude that 1t may
be doubted that ITS capacity for good
would be increased by any change. But
whatever may be its future. IL Is GER
tainIy doing an important work III state
and local politics in wrcnchinG the west

to the northeast, and causing il to
stand upon its own rights and interests.

for the west: il has delivered il bound

EASTERN manufacturers and money lend

the Alliance and the democracy work

| same line of movement, III the same
direction and towards almost the same

cultural west and south are about to
take possession of the government and
control 1t.
1t required a stern effort on the pari
of the Alliance members of the Kansas
legislature TO set Ingalls, aside, for
majority of them, probably nearly all
OF them, had been republicans, and
Ingalls, is republican, too, of the
severest sect: but the effort was made,
and Ingalls, was pitilessIy cast aside as
that much absolute rubbish-which.
indeed, he really is. The contest at
Topeka proves clearly to those who
needed proof on the point, that the
Kansas farmers mean business: thai
they have cause strong enough to hold
them together in the face OF all

A Poor Debtors Hard rate.

Kept him behind the bars, paying his
board at So a week. When six months
had expired the prisoner came to the
conclusion that he would disclose, but
in order to do this, he must under the
old law. which prevailed when he was
arrested. pay all the costs OF disclos.
ure and expenses. He was unable to
do this, as he had no funds, and the
consequence was that he remained in
jail, where he has now been residing
several years. his board still being
paid by the creditor. 1t is said that
the latter is determined to keep the
fellow in prison, and has gone so far
as to set aside So, 900 In his will to

A Wonderful Frog Story.

While large pine log was being
sawed nto lumber at Brown & Halls
sawmill near Acton, Ontario, after the
outside slab and one board had been cut
off. and while the worllmen were turn
ing over the log preparatory te
''squaring" it. they were surprised to
see large toad poke his head out OF
q hole, where he was imbedded, and
where he had barely escaped being
cut up by the saw.
How the creature ever got there i,
a mystery. as he was completely en-.
cased in the wood, with no possible
means of ingress or cgress. AS the
log was the fourth or fifth up from the
butt Of the tree his position must have
been at least 80 or 60 feet from the
ground. There is but one way Of &C.
counting for the fact that he wa.
found in the position named. He had
grown up with the tree from infancy,
and was probably hundreds of years
old when the saw awOke him from his
long nap. The animal was quite fa
and nearly as large across as man;
hand. The tree in which he was
found was perfectly sound, with the
exception OF a decayed spot about
foot in length below the hollow place
in which he was imbedded.

"A popular idea exists that gam.
blers are smart or "fy men," says Pat
Sheedy, the noted New York gambler.
People see Pat Sheedy and another
gambler walking down the street and
say: There goes couple OF gamblers:
they must be sharp, shrewd and fy.'
Nonsense. Do you see any gamblers
owning business blocks, large build
ings. or other solid evidences of pros
perity? Its the suckers who own
them. The suckers are in reality the
shrewd and smart people. There's
been nightly few gamblers, no mat
ter how wealthy in their lifetime, who
didn't have to be buried by subscrip-
tions raised among their friends when
they died. Did they prove themselves
smart men? No man is shrewd or
clever who enters and follows pur-
suit in which every thing is against
him-the law, society, and the hand
OF the rest of mankind. A gambler,
of course, forfeits all chance of ever
getting into society, although there
are many gamblers living to-day who
would be more OF an ornament to soci-
ETY. than some OF those among its
shining lights.

No one doubts that DR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, Whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but con call" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk?
If so, the rest is easy. You

and the trial 5egins.

Electricity in Music.

Electricity has not been practically
applied in the art OF music heretofore
except perhaps, in the operating
mechanism OF church organs. George
Breed of the United States navy ha.
devised method by which the passage
of broken current over conductor
in a magnetic field produces musica
tones of varying pitch and volume.
