Mrs. Witherby had spent the evening in the
nursury, entirely Iorgetful of that wise say
ng in ''The Young Housekeepers' Guide to
Happiness to the effect that the woman who
neglected her husband for her child would
soon be herself neglected. The baby had
been cross all day, and she was OF the opinion
that lis crossness boded some mortal illness.
so she had gone upstairs Immediately after
dinner. and had felt q good deal OF resent
ment toward her husband because he did not
care TO share her euening occupation.
4 wonder" she unused as she watched
her sleeping cherub, IF all fathers are as in
different as Harold. l wonder if mans nature
is sucn that it cannot rise to the divine rights

course il was the infant she addressed thus.
Dear little angel. l wonder II he will ever
know another love equal to a mothers"
This reflection started others. In imsgina-
ton Mrs. Witherby saw many maidens of
great beauty and charm sighing for the af-
fection of her son. She knew that none of
she could never consent to receive one of
them as : daughter. She was Just planning
the language in which she would couch her
determination not to let her son marry, when
the maid entered.
If you please, M she remarked, ''Mr.
Witherby says will you not join him in a
Welsh rarebit which he's going to make
nowg''
Mrs. Witherby's resentment against her
husband faded away.
Tell him. she answered, ''that I'll be
down at once" Then she readjusted the
baby's coverlid, gave it maternal caress or
two, breathed an inarticulate prayer over it
and went down to her husband.
Eva" said he, I'D rather you'd take up
with politics. I'd be no more neglected and
/ shouldn't feel that you were wasting your
time quite as you are now. Have you been
gazing like a moon-struck being at that
wonderful infant OF our since half-past

by preserving silence.

Business Revival and the Farmer.

Business Revival and the Farmer
EDITOR TIMES: A cartoon in one of the
Sunday papers represented Uncle Sam as
preston by two exceedingly handsome maid
ens-the Democratic and Republican parties.
To the right and in the dim distance We see
furnaces and factories starting up, but the
balance of the landscape is certainly depress-
ing and forbid ding. It locks like Deaths
Valley, California. Not sprig OF grass is to
be seen, not a single emblem OF agriculture;
the tiller of the soil has apparently vanished.
Is this picture prophetic? The press of the
Eastern cities is now chanting the gloria in
eXcelsis over The prospect of a speedy revival
OF manufacturing and speculating, and when
they condescend to notice the agriculturist,
with a few honorable exceptions. it is with
some such advice as grow less of this or that;
your woes are due to overproduction. In
other words, that he who cultivates two blades
of grass where before he cultivated but one is
rather public enemy than benefacter.
Take just one product of the farmer-cot-
ton, which pays SO per cent. of our European
balances. Owing to the abnormal and unnat-
ural drop in price, the raisers of this staple
will have about seventy millions less to spend
for the products of the factory and furnace
than last year. And so it is, to a great ex-
tent, with nearly everything raised by the
farmer.
Do the manufacturers and the press really
believe that in the face of the prosp pect of
still further decline in the price of all agri-
cultural products (many already far below
the cost of production that good times are
coming? Haye they forgotten that it is true
now, and ever will be, that the condition of
the farmer must reflect the condition of the
country at large? READER.
