Quitting the Old Home.

Tho Peculiar Cnuse OF All the Children
0nItting the old Home.
They were talking about the deser-
ton of farms by the younger gener-
atoms for the alluring charms of
the cities; how young men and WON
en- left the home nest in the country
as soon as they felt any confidence
in themselves and fiocked to the
paved streets and brick walls Of q i
ban life in the hope that work would
not be SO hard and money would
come easier. Our family furnishes
a case In point said a young Ger
man. We're all In the city now
except the old folks, who stick TO the
farm, and are doingpretty well. Our
reasons for abandoning Che farm,
however, were not those usually
given, and I doubt if a parallel case
can be found. Then he told his
story:
With two brothers and three sis
tiers he lived on q farm 100 miles
from Chicago. and they all aided a
phlegmatico old fatherin operating the
place. 1t was fine piece ofiand, and
the family was happy md prosper
Gus. But dark disaster came one day
IN the shape Of a cabbage crop. The
lChisago market showed d strong de-
mand for sauerkraut, and the farmer
decided to 50 In for a profitable crop.
With the two boys he planted sew
eral acres In cabbage, with excellent
results. The crop was cut up and
packed, and there were $50 barrels of
the finest sauerkraut made.
Communicating with a friend in
the grocery business ON the North
Side, the farmer received an order
for 10 barrels. A few days later the
grocer announced that the best he
could offer was IS cents a barrel, the
top market price. The old man.
couldn't stand such a drop as that.
so he had the shipment returned,
paying freight charges both ways.
Purchasing 40 fine pigs, he began fat
tening them on his highgrade sauer7
kraut. All went well for a few days.
but the porkers soon tired OF the
diet and began to run from it. The
pile grew high, and q few of the
strongest pigs jumped the fence and
ran away. while others sickened and
grew weak from starvation.
1t was q puzzler for the old man,
but he was deter1ninedt ia derivesome

up to the orchard near the house.
where it was spread about as q fer
filizer. BY this time the entire fam
lily grew turbulent at the mere men
zion of sauerEaaut, and when the sun
poured its hot rays on the picked
cabbage the girls rebelled. The farm
er was oBdrrate, and the three girls
packed their effects and came to the
city. The kraut became sopowerful
that even the old man could not
stand it, ard the boys were instruct.

and this settled it. They all lit out
for Chicago and have been here ever

Teuton on the farm. When it was

The emperor of China has issued an

atonement for what is a crime under
Christian teachings, but is not a crime

Whether it will furnish immunity from
further depredations in the present dis

is questionable. The emperor is moved
by fear of consequences, and this does
not affect the ordinary Chinaman.
