THE HOME PAPER.
A Little Story From Real Life
That Carries a Moral.

When you got married to the bright
est and best girl in the country, where
did you look for that notice that meant
80 much to you and so little to nearly
everybody else: To your home paper.
When your home was invaded by
the blue-eyed girl or the baby boy, to
whom did you make it your business
to convey early information as to the
sex, the time and the weight: To the
editor of the home paper.
In after years, when some manly
young fellow takes the blue-eyed girl
to home OF his own, or your once
bouncing boy-now a mans given a
partnership i'll the store, because he
has just brought home somebody else's
daughter and set up an establishment
of his own, to whom do you personally
exhibit the wedding presents and load
up with brides cake, and to whom do
you look for that complete description
of the interesting event, down to the
last pickle fork and individual salt
which once more means so much to
you and very few others, and so
little to anybody else: To this same
editor Of that same home paper.
And when trouble comes in the
home and you add to your possessions
that desolate bit Of reality, the lot in
the cemetery, and some how the sun
doesn't seem to shine just as it used
to, and there's the flutter Of Grape at
the door and odor Of tube rose i'll the
front parlor, and the chair that has for
years been beside yours at the fireside
and opposite you at the table, is vacant
when all this happens, who makes it
his business to write in tender strain
of one whose life had grown to be
part of yours, and whose sympathy and
good deeds to others have long been
known and recognized, if never publicly
announced? The editor of the home
paper; and he's only too willing to do
the little that he can to help you over
the hard spot in the road.
And all Of these years have you adj
vertsed in the home paper and done
what you could to help the editor fight
your battles in municipal and county
matters, and encouraged him as he has
worked to build up the town and bring
business to it?

" Sweet Charity.'

In the Artists Exhibition of 1898 at
the New York Academy of Design, there
was exhibited an oil-painting by j. L.
Ferris, entitled "Sweet Charity' Its
richness of coloring commanded instant
attention, while the lesson it taught was
so impressive that one naturally re-
turned to it for a second view
Its subject is young lady of colonial
times who is on an errand to one the
poorer families OF the town. She has a
sensible, charming face, which expresses
with remarkable fidelity the sentiment of
her GRAND. There is not home that
this charming picture will not ornament.
1t must be seen to be appreciated.
"Sweet Charity" was purchased by the
publishers of the Youths Companion and
has been reproduced is colors in size,
14hx21.
1t will be sent to all new subscribers to
the Companion who send $1.75 for a years
subscription, and the paper will also be

STOP CROAKING.
A Sensible and Timely Article
From the Philadelphia Times.

Stop croaking and get down to BUSH
ing up money and distressing them
selves and business generally.
We have big crops with a foreign
market for our surplus. The people
were never more generally solvent.
Money is abundant for all legitimate
business but the croakers are on top
and cowardice kills where courage
would cure.
Let the calamity howlers 60 to the
rear. Many banks and business es-
adjustments have suspended, but not
one in fifty of them has failed. They
are solvent; ready to resume when
ever the croakers are through with this
work, and soon the calamity organs
which have heralded failures in start
ling headlines will be recording the
resumption Of the suspended concers.
Stop croaklng. 1t is as serious for
the time as if bankruptcy were upon
us as a people. when business could
be revived at once if honest and we'll
merited faith in the government, in
the country and in industries were re-
stored. Stop boarding money; put it
into circulation by buying, depositing
or lending, and don't wait until bust
ness has enough money without the
locked up resources Of the croakers.
We are now adding a million a day
to our national bank circulation we
are getting gold from Europe at rate
of a million a day. and money must
soon become abundant without the
croakers' boarded wealth. In addition
to these resources Of enlarged circulat-
ing medium, Congress will surely give
us an enlarged and more flexible circu-
lating medium, and money is more
likely to become too abundant than too
scarce before the close Of another year.
Stop croaking. 1t doesn't pay; it
is all loss and no profit to all, and
whenever the croaker shall cease to ply
his vocation money will be. plenty and
business prosperous. Stop croaking.

THE MILKING TIME.
BENJAMIN :. PARKER.

never saw picture and never heard a
song
That made the eve so musical, the morn
ing half so long
As a picture in my memory, a merry song
know,
As heard it on an evening when the sun
was sinking low.
And the shadows and the sunlight and the
mildeyed, waiting kline,
With the pasture slOpIng greenly 10 the
forests ragged line,
And a maiden at her milking and the SKY
that smiled above
Wrought rural panorama in a paradise
OF love;
While the streams of milk went laughing
in merry monotone,
Singing plainly. Good 1t is not for man
And melody of morning mingled in
vesper rhyme
That sweet DOllie's voice was grooming at
the happy milking time;
Dear Dollie at her milking when our souls
were all a-rhyme.
To the sweetness and completeness OF the
merry milking time
From the fence along the woodland rose
the brown quairS evening call,
And his 8" good night" sang the robin as
the dews began to fall,
Whlle from out tiie gloomy tnichcl, ldiLIiJ
fading DER the hill,
Came the lonely voice of sorrow in the
cry of whip pOOrwill,"
But no song of bird or insect could Oh
melody prevail
With two streams of milk a falling
through her brown hands in the pail;
With two streams Of milk falling and
the song she murmured low
OF two happy lovers meeting, at the sun
set, long ago.
OF never saw a picture and Inever heard
Il song
That made the eve 50 musical, the morn
irg half 50 long
As that old picture painted on loves tap
cstry Of rhyme,
OF the merry country maiden at the dear,
old milking time
AS that song the soul remembers and re-
peatS in ever cline,
or sweet DOlIie'S love enchanted at the
happy milking time

IA KS FOR FARMERS
portant that he should have it for the
following reasons:


| following reasons
First, the farmer is citizen of the
government he has voice in public
| affairs. Without an education suffi-
| cient to enable him to exercise that
right intelligently and discretionately,
he is liable to bring an injury upon
himself and his country. While on the
other hand if he were educated up to
that point that would enable him to
understand the science Of government,
aud what it takes for its economical
administration and what bearing ma
tional issues had upon the welfare of
the country, he could free himself
from the burdens which he would 9TH
erwise have to bear and secure equal
rights under the government. AS the
farmers compose the larger per cent.
Of the population of our country and
an educated suffrage is necessary for
the proper administration Of public
affairs, it is highly necessary that the
farmers should be educated.
In the second place, an education
affords a pecuniary advantage to the
farmer. Scientific farming is more
and more needed as the land becomes
worn. If farmer understands the
chemistry of the soil and what it takes
for the growth of his crop, he can by
examination determine what element
must be supplied. Let the farmer APP
ply science, thought and educated mind
to his occupation, and the other classes
of people who have looked upon farm
ing as followed only by the less intel
ligent and uneducated people, will look
to the rural inha bitants with admira-
ton and wonder. It is essential for
mans highest development and happi-
ness that he be educated. 1t is an I'M
questional fact that education adds
greatly to ones enjoyment of life. The
educated mind is capable of more en-
joyment, the capacity is greater, be-
cause the mind is more developed. It
is more susceptible of receiving i'm
pressions of beauty, because the facul
ties of soul by which sense of pleas
ure are discerned are broadened and
enlarged. The beauties Of nature, the
wonders of the Heaven or the earth
and in the deep afford a fuller sense
of pleasure to the educated scientist,
to him whose mind is cultivated, who
understands the laws of God s universe,
than they do the uneducated, those
who can not appreciate the hidden
beauties of nature so we'll. So let
the farmers give their children an ed
ucation, those who are to be farmers
as those who are to follow some other
calling in life. L would say to every
boy and young man to get an educa-
ton, no matter what is to be your
work in life. H. L. WOODWARD

has just succeeded in obtaining loan
of 100000 in London,
We are a nation of borrowers, and
this is the way our resources are
developed. All the great enterprises
in the South since the war have been
put up with the aid of foreign capital ;
without that help many thriving
manufacturing cities which dot our
sunny land and in which thousands of
people are employed, would be barren
fields. We have such resources that it
would take the capital of the whole
world to develop them properly. The
man who says that this country does
not need outside capital, will find his
match in the man who claims that a
frame house can be erected without
using tools, not even jack-knife.

Suspicious People.

People who suspect every body are

People who have no faith III their

their object is to spike the enemy's
