On one of the cross seuts in a Sixth ave-
nue. elevated car early one morning sat a
little girl about 10 years old. She carried
her bit Of lunch wrapped up in a newspa-
per. She was evidently employed down in
one of the big shops.
At the moment the reporters eyes fell
upon her her eyes were big with amaze
ment and delight. She seemed in a very sew
enth heaven of bliss. A picture book lay
open in her lap, depicting in huge type and
high colors the old, old story of Cinder-
ella. There were stacks of just such books
in the shop where she worked, and her eye
may have fallen upon them aud recog-
nized them somewhat as part of the land
marks of her daily d~rudgery. But this
one had been given her for her very own,
and she treasured it as though its value
were a hundred times its weight in gold.
Between One Hundred and Fourth street
and the Eighteenth street station she read
the eutire story three times, and at each
reading she seemed to enjoy it more huge
ly than before. She had just begun for
the fourth time when "A tall, good natured
looking young woman, who was holding
on to one of the straps, nodded her head
to her and shouted out, "Hullo, Cashl''
A moment later the guard shouted out

The poetry Of farming exists chiefly in
the mind Of him who looks on rather than
in the toll itself, There is poetry in the
summer scene where the clean shaver
meadow is thickly studded with green
cones Of hay, and the OK wagon creaks I'M
der the weight Of its fragrant load; but it
Is prose OF the baldest sort to the perspir
ing farmer who Is straining every muscle
to get in his crop before the shower comes
up over the hill. Il Is the dollars in the
hay, and not its fragrance, that he is think
ing about; nor is it any discredit to his
common sense that he should be more oc-
cupied with the money value involved than
with the picturesqueuess of the situation.
We must not expect a poem on the golden
rod from the man who spends hours Of
hard work in attempting to exterminate it.;
nor can we look for from him any express
sion Of admiration for the daisy when its
presence in his grass means pecuniary loss.
To him the shrill cry of the hen hawk con-
veys but one message, and that is that his
chickens are in danger.
The half ~articulRted cultural of the
young crow is merely n reminder Of the
corn pulling and thieving propensities Of
that bird. The staccsto whistle of the
woodchuck has no charms for him, for it is
a promise that his young apple trees shall
be gnawed and n threat that his clover
shall be trodden down to make paths for
this numbering freebooter to travel home
in. He loves the cuckoo only in times of
drought, and sees beauty in the rainbow
only when his parchsd fields have quenched
their thirst. His love for the robins even
can never be unqualified, for do they not
peck at his cherries and steal his early peas1
The waving OF the ripening grain and the
rustic of the corn would be p~leasanter to
see and sweeter to hear were it not for his
apprehension that the rust would get into
his wheat or early frosts cut short his crop.

A friend of mine being ordered by his

Importance Of obtaining the natural water

limitations, called at about a dozen drug
stores before he could find one having the

the water at this place for a month or so,

ally recommended it to his friends, several
of whom also became steady drinkers of it,
A few days ago he took a fresh friend to

by a new clerk. After drinking his glass
of the water he smncked his lips and com

the 6eld mice and old maids protect cats.
therefore the more old maids the more
