The Small Farm Idea.

No farms have succeeded so we'll
as small farms. More money per acre
has been taken from them, and each
dollar represents greater profits.
This state and county will never at
tain high degree of agricultural
prosperity until the small farm idea
permeates the minds of our land own
ers and farmers. Double the size of
your farms, not by adding more acres,
but by making each acre doubly pro-
ductive. Sell off half your land #
necessary and put it on top the re-
manning half. You will then make
more profit and do it with less out.
lay. You will live more comfortably
and besides have less taxes to pay.

In writing letters to your friends
on acqu2intances, make what you

The Spider Hawk.

The miners of Colorado who have
built cabins on the mountain sides
know what a pest the small brown
wood spider proves to be. They
thrown their webs over our best
clothes, cooking utensils, in every
corner, where you can get them in
your eyes and mouth. Not only that,
but they will drop into the frying
pan, water bucket or upon the table
where you are eating. Nature has
furnished remedy and friend
when she gave the spider hawk.
The name is given by miners to a
small, steel blue wasp almost three
fourths of an inch in length. He can
easily be recognized by the quick,
nervous strokes of his wings. They
build nest up among the rafters of
your cabin of wood pulp or furze
from the outer coating Of old dead
trees. Then they are ready for bust
ness.
Every few minutes you can see
your hawk climb up the rafters with
a spider, sometimes carrying one four
or five times his own weight. Some
times they get a spider so heavy that
they will fall many times before
they succeed in reaching their nest.
They never give up, but keep on try
ing until they succeed. When the
spider is safely placed in the nest the
female hawk deposits her egg in the
dead body. The hawks live only in
pairs, as far as my observation goes.
They become rather tame and seem
to be obliged to you for building the
spider trap for their benefit. Great
Divide.

The Human Memory.

A writer in The Atlantic Monthly
presents curious facts with regard to
the operation of the human mem
Dry. He takes the ground that the
memory supplies the place of talent
in many cases, and cites an instance
in which rare success in point OF
style was proved to have been
achieved by a mosaic of sentences
carried in the mind from various
writers. and carefully dovetailed into
a piece of work which proved tri
umph in its completeness. The capi
tai of most writers consists in in
formation, and to the faculty OF
memory they are chiefly indebted
for this. Memory is almost substi
tute for genius itself at times, and
may certainly afford its possessoi
that which passes for originality.

''If you want TO experience novel

sports q colonel's uniform as mem
ber of a governors staff whenever
said governor turns out on parade,
"just get on horseback and take
part in some great procession like
those which marked the Columbian
festivities.
1T is the most curious feeling that
you ever experienced, l will wager a
hat. 1t beats hashheesh or opium
smoking all to pieces. 1t is unlike
any other thing that you ever saw
or heard or felt.
"At first you are all right, and you
hear the bands and see the great fur
rows of humanity ON either side of
the way as distinctly as you ever
saw anything in your life. But after
awhile things begin to grow blurred
to your senses. The music dies
away and there is nothing but 6 dull
roar in your ears, while the crowd
becomes merely dull and indistinct
mass without form or meaning in
your eyes.
But now you begin to see single
figures men hanging from the caves
of high buildings, boys perched on
chinneys or signboards or in some
hazardous place. You watch one OF
them with fascinated eyes, expecting
every minute to see him fall and be
dashed to pieces on the pavement.
You are constantly filed with an
overwhelming feeling that you are
TO be witness to some dreadful ac-
cident, but for the life of you you
cannot turn your eyes away from it.
After awhile you cease to be hui
man being at all and become a mere
automaton. You are not controlled
by human emotions, but by the mag
netism of the crowd. 1t is some
such sort of hypnotic state, appre-
hend, which men get into during a
battle and which makes them so un-
like themselves. New York Herald.

1t was the woman in the new seal

Their profound selfishness is what

bSently at a stout man who sat OPP

rum view behind his newspaper.
The average woman is nothing if

cem at the right time. But take

wound. The third and fourth cried
because they had been Tilted, and
fhe fifth was moved to tears at my

remaining two there was good ex
cuse. One had just lost his child {;
the other was lamenting the wild
ness of a son. But the point is this,
that at one time had appealed to
i've of these men in behalf of all un-
fortunate whose case was the saddest

them. The father of the wayward
son. and the young man who-er-

sake. They afterward helped that
particular unfortunate, but that, too,
was due to my interest.
Il can easily understand why a
man cries when women refuses to
marry him." said the meek little
woman beside the last speaker, "for
have heard so much of that and
ahem have seen it myself. They
all seem to cry when they're refused.
Do you remember the night when

But the woman in the fur jacket
hastily remarked that she couldn't
