The power of occupation to rouse

has met with such marked success in
industrial schools that in instances
where it is impossible to stimulate
children who have not the advantages
of these schools parents would do well
to familiarize themselves. with their
methods. y w~ell-known educator of

interest could be not aroused in the
common schools: Some were natur-

There is Nothing in sight.

That We are to have hard times dur
ing the coming winter months there is
NO question. Wheat IS worth only
forty-four cents per bushel. corn will
be low. potatoes are selling for forty
cents per bushel. and there is nothing
that the farmer produces that he can
make a profit on. Hetofore the farmer
got good prices for everything he had
to sell. His fruit brought him con-
siderable money, but this year he has
no fruit and his other products being
worth nothing he will have no money
to spend with the merchant. He will

and live without many comforts that
he has been used to in prosperous
times. This of course will cut down
the sales and also the income of the
merchant-make money scarce and
thereby make life a burden to the poor
people in the cities and towns who live
from hand to mouth.

Why Not Raise Potatoes.

1t is a we'll known fact that the soil
of Southeast Missouri is a fine soil
for the production of Irish potatoes
and it is a wonder to us that our farm
ers do not discard wheat and other
priceless crops and go to c~ultivating
something that will pay them for their
labor. The land here will produce
from two hundred TO three hundred
bushels of Irish potatoes to the here.
Say an average crop OF two hundred
bushels per acre could be raised and
say the crop would bring only twenty
five cents per bushel-that would be
fifty dollars per acre. What other
crop would bring that sum of money?
At the present priceof wheat the farmer
who gets twelve dollars and fifty cents
per acre for the wheat ne raises is
doing we'll. There is more hard work
in raising wheat than there is in rails
ing Irish potatoes.

Met Again bu, Did Not Fight.

Philadelphia Record: For repeating
to General Butler, then in command
of the Army of James, a d~isparaging
remark made by a subordinate con-
corning the Generals military eff
cheney, an officer in a Pennsylvania
regiment was promised a sound thrash
ing by the officer whom he had report
ed. and who. in consequence, had
suffered a bad quarter of an hour in
the Generals society. The thrashing
was to be bestowed after the war was
over. at their very first meeting, no
matter under what circumstances it
might occur.
The two officers became prominent
civilians in adjoining States. For
many years one of them went armed
with a revolver: the other with a blank
bail bond. Though often in this city
where one of them resided) at the
same time, they never met until the
other day, and they encountered each
other face to face in the surf at Allan
tic City. Each had grown so stout as
to weigh ove 80 pounds, yet they in
stantly recognized each other.
Something ludicrous in the thought of
such vast spheres of flesh engaged in
a rough-and-tumble fight may have
entered their minds at the same mo-
ment. for they called each other by
name. smiled. and shook hands. The
feud was thus terminated.
