attention to their talk. The old and
experienced farmer has learned that the
seasons "even up" His crops may not
be what he would wish this year,
but they were good last year and the
year before that. and are likely to be
good next year. Besides, they are never
a total failure. Corn may not have time
to ripen, but wheat may be all that is
expected of it, fruit may be abundant,
pastures good and the cattle in a way to
flourish and fatten as never before.
Take the years through there is an av-
erage that leaves balance to the farm
er's credit. There is still wider view

feet its entire territory. The region
covered by the heavy rains is extensive.
to be sure, but there are yet larger
regions undisturbed by floods and where
plowing and planting have gone on un-
disturbed. The men who are filling the
air with lamentations know that the
season has never yet arrived when
they lacked for food in abundant vari-
ETY.. or for clothing, or for any
good thing through the fault of the
weather. They realize that they are not
likely to know season when there is
not enough for all. supplied from one
quarter if not from another. The time
has not yet come when the weather can
be so regulated by mans ingenuity as to
meet oil individual needs, but there is
no reason why the individual should not
better adjust himself to the seasons and
take things as they come. Let them
profit by Riley's cheerful philosophy
when he says:
1t hain't no use to grumble and complain;
It's jest al cheap and easy rejoice
When God sorts out the weather and sends rain,
Wy. rains my choice.
And as he says again in his Thoughts
for the Discouraged Farmer:"
They's been a heap o. rain. but the sums out to-
day,
And the clouds of the wet spell is all cleared
away,
And the woods is all the greener, ond the grass
is greener still;
1t may rain again to -morry. but don't think II
will.
Some says the crops is ruined and the corn's
drOwnded out,
And prOpha-sy the wheat will be failure with
out doubt;
But the kind Providence that has never failed
us yet
Will be on hands onc't more at the 'leventh hour,

A FORMER city official of st. Paul,
Minn.. recently brought suit to recover
s15, 900 from milling house, in which
he claims he lost it at cards. He gam
bled away the proceeds of a lucrative
Office, and when he had lost everything
he had he brought suit against the gam
blers. The jury rendered verdict for
one cent damages. This was substan-
tial justice. A man who loses money at
cards is not entitled to any sympathy
nor to any legal redress. He plays to
win. expecting to fleece the gamblers by
getting their money for nothing. and if.
instead of that, he gets feeced himself,
he is entitled to no sympathy.

ABOUT THE WEATHER.

1t is not to be wondered at that farm
ers who have not been able to plant
their crops by reason of the lOng-cOn-
tinued rains are inclined to take a
gloomy view of the seasons prospects.
When the family income depends upon
early planting, absence of frosts and
freedom from flood and drought, it is
natural that the agriculturist should re-
gard the weather with close and
watchful eye, and that his spirits should
be affected according as its conditions
are favorable or unfavorable. 1t is not
the farmer. after all, however. who is
the most given to lamentations when
the elements are not encouraging to the
agricultural interests. There can prob
ably be found no more dOleful Jeremiahs
in the rural districts at this time than
the men who can be heard on every
corner of the city streets predicting
all sorts of financial ills because the
Lord has permitted more rain to faii on
n portion of the earths surface tran
seems to them wise. 1t is true that
what affects the farmer affects all other
business interests directly or indirectly,
but the men who are lOudest in bemoan-
ing the weather are almost invariably
men who have but little personal con-
cern in the agricultural outcome. The
lamentations are simply the manifesto
tion of tendency strong in cOnsidera-
BILE class of persons to look upon the
gloomy side whenever that side can be
made visible for a sufficient length of
time. They appear to derive a dismal
satisfaction in woeful prophecies and in
making other people uncomfortable.

AN exchange calls attention to the
habit of throwing paper into the streets,
alleys and parks of cities. The criticism
applies to every city and village in the
land. 1t is one of the penalties of the
cheapness of paper which has resulted
in its general use for all sorts of pur-
poses, and which deprives it of value
when once used. Much of the untidy
appearance of the streets, and much of
the filth which is covered up and thrown
away is due to the cheap and general
use of paper.

A Valuable Carcass.

A poor peasant in a village of the
Odenwald fell into such reduced cir
cumstances that he resolved to sell
his only cow. He took the wretched
and scraggy beast to the butcher of
the village, who said he could not
give him more than sixty marks for
it So the peasant determined to
slaughter the beast himself, and try
TO sell the meat among his neighbors.
In the stomach of the COW he found
seven gold coins of twenty marks
each, too silver thalers and twos small
keys The cow thus brought him
double the sum which the butcher
had offered for her. The cow must
have swallowed a purse at some
place or other, but where or when

retires with the friendship of large
