ABSOLUTELY PURE
ABSOLUTELY PURE


T. Sidney Cooper, the English animal
painter, says that he often made valuR-
HE studies in Cumberland, at places
where Scotch droyers halted with their
cattle for the night. On such occasions
he often had a chance to see illustra-
tons of al animals intelligence, as well
as of its physical perfection.
One day, when there was a pouring
rain, a man consented to sit for me at
the inn where l was staying. He
brought his collie with him, and both Of
them were dripping wet, so he put of
his plaid and laid it on the floor by the
dog.
L made a very successful sketch Of the
man. but before l had finished it the dog
grew fdgety with the wet plaid, and his
master said, "'Tak' it ava, mon, tax it
avail"
The dog took the end of it between his
teeth and dragged it out of the room.
After 1 had finished the drover's por-
trait 1 asked him if he thought his dog
would lie quiet for a time, as 1 wished
to sketch him.
"Oh, yes, mon% he answered, "hen
do anything l say to him. WatchI
WatchI" he called, and then "whustled"
for him, as the Scotch say.
AS the dog did not appear, we went to-
gether to look for him, and found him
sitting before the kitchen fire with the
end Of the plaid in his mouth, holding it
up to dry. l expressed my admiration
Of his intelligence. and the maste- re-
piled:
"Ah, he's a canny creature, sirl he
knows a mony things, does that dog, sir.
But come ava, mon, the gentleman
wants to max your picture"
So we returned to my room, and the
handsome collie sat for his portrait.

A NATIONAL REUNION

Chicago IS devising many schemes to
| make the worlds fair a success, and the
brains of the men who are to manage it
are kept busy evolving original and
striking features for the great program.
The latest novelty in that line is the pro-
posed national reunion of Federal and
Confederate soldiers. This reunion is in
the nature of suggestion only, but it
seems to be meeting with favor in a
number Of rthern and southern states
There must be no sectionalism about the
great fair, and this general handshaking
between northern and southern soldiers
Is doubtless designed to anticipate any
ideas IN that line which may be enter
tanned by the people of the southern
states. Such reunion, therefore, must
have good results, if it shall be held.
In speaking of the proposition the
Atlanta Constitution remarks: "This
worlds fair business has had happy eff
feet In Chicago, and may also have a
happy effect upon the country. If it
shall succeed in effacing sectional lines,
1t will accomplish far greater object
than the one for which it was primarily
designed. The full returns from the
southern states are not vet in. but it is
presumed that the people will regard
this national reunion in a favorable
light"

SOMETHING WRONG.

1t would seem that farming and farm
lands contiguous to the great manufac
turing and industrial centers ought t.
be the most profitable of all occupa
flons and properties, for the reason thai
| they have ready markets at which to dis
pose of their products direct to the con
sumers and without the expense of long
transportation and frequent handling,
and when such is not the case there is
evidently something wrong somewhere
IN our economic system.
The twenty-first annual report of the
Massachusetts bureau of sta istics shows
the number of farms abandoned in that
state to have reached 1,461, of which
6S9 are without buildings The aggre-
gate acreage is 1876, 5094, and the assessed
valuation is $1,076,329. Farms with
buildings aggregate 66,650t acres, the
total valuation of the property being
S69O,0l9; while the farms without build
ings aggregate 58,S5S! acres, and are
valued at 1856, 800.
With such a state of case in Massa
chusetts, whose farms and farmers are
the most advantageously situated as to
market facilities, there would seem to
be mighty little encouragement 20 farm
ers IN remote sections and states. There
IS something radically wrong some
where, and it has got to be righted be-
fore general prosperity returns.
