FARMERS IN CONFERENCE
EVERY BRANCH OF AGRICULTURE
THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED
AT MORRICE.
Strong Sentiments Against the Wilson
Bill.-Bancroft the Next Place
Of Meeting.

When the farmers, the school teachers or
organizations of any kind in Shiawassee
county desire to hold meeting and be
royalty entertained, the first place mention
ed for holding tn same is Morrice, and
when the executive committee of the Shia-
wassee County Farmers Institute selected
that village for their meeting of 1894, they
knew that the good things that would be
provided in MOrrice, IN the way Of music,.
real old fashioned farm dinners, comfortar
bic places to sleep and lot Of good stories
and jokes, a little politics and world of
good advice on all subjects interesting to the
farmer were equal to or greater ihan could
be found anywhere else.
The institute In this county is one that
has more representatives OF the leaders in
all classes of farm work than perhaps any
county in the state. The widest range Of
subjects can be handled in a competent and
exhaustive manner; agriculture can not fail
to be advanced through such meetings as
those held on Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week, and through the very ex-
cellent work of the various committees,
there was not break to mar the successful
discussion of all subjects presented.
The absence of Gov. Rich. Tuesday, was
disappointment, but as prominent farmer
expressed it 'better that we should go with
out him that he may carry on his fearless
exposure of any and all frauds, and we
believe he is going to spare no one II they
are guilty, even though they are his staunch-
est supporters"
A. b. Clark, of Morrice, president. called
the Tuesday afternoon session to order. in
the Presbyterian church after nearly SOC
farmers, their wives, sons, daughters and
friends had gathered to hear the papers and
learn the results of years experiments
successes and failures in new methods OF
work.

COMMITTEES and their work was simply per-

Rev. Carrick led the singing Of an open
ing hymn, "All Hail the Power Of Jesus
Name," and followed by prayer, calling for
blessings on the representatives of the best
part OF the best people In the best nation Of
the earth-the farmers Of the United States.
N. l.. Stevens, one Of Shiawassee's oldest
and best leaders In all good causes, welcom-
ed the guests to Morrice and incidentally
said he hoped the meeting would not only
be productive Of good In the methods OF
farm work but that strong, unerring and
powerful sentiment could be worked up
against the great tobacco and alcohol evils.
He said Morrice was always glad to receive
and entertain the class who were such
large part OF the liberty loving, earnest
workers In all good causes.
After . song by tho congregation, STAN
ley <. Parkell responded to the address Of
welcome. He was glad for the day at least
to be classed among the farmers OF this
county, and grasp the hands of honest men.
He had no fiocks OF swine nor herds of
sheep, yet on his Owosso farm he practised
his phllanthropic ideas by growing crop OF
weeds, letting them grow to ripe old age
md thus furnishing work for his neighb0rs
during the next summer, In pulling up
those starting from the seed taken by the
wind from his ground. The farmers of this
county he thought were the most chivalrous
of any In the world. The farmers wife
was on. the footing which the Lord intend
ed. In his travels he had seen the women
carrying burdens such as TO man In America
would attempt, and no woman was ever
asked TO assist In. The farmers were the
moral backbone of the country, and he be-
lieved In The statement, God made the
ountry and the devil made the town. He
believed the citizens OF Morrlce would be
benefited by the gathering OF such people
In their midst, and while thanking them for
the welcome hoped they would be- amply re-
paid for their many kindnesses.

our first individual aim. The results
are disastrous to manhood. The far
reaching results on character cannot be

The training of children can have

say equally we'll that the road is direct
from honor in words to honor in deeds.
Labor from the very outset to instill
in your childs mind straightness, as the
old Aryans called it-straightness Of
character. We call it straightforward
ness; no serpent wriggling, no indirect
ness. 1t is curious how that habit is
one for mind and body. A very nice
person, a friend of mine, is a mild casa
of indirectness. She not only in
stinctively hides the exact truth. but
she never starts to go to a given place
without first going about to some other.
She can not directly do anything. Now
a child can be, by persistent care, en-
couraged into a habit of undertaking
rectitude of speech. I have seen one
such case where the instinct was

.LIGHTLY'S GREAT SUCCESS.

When I went into the club the other
night, 1 found Lightly turning over the
pages of the Christmas number Of All
the World. His face would have af-
forded a fine study for a picture Of
contentment, and my first thought was
that he must have an article or story
in the magazine. For Lightly is some
thing of writer, and whenever he
gets anything published-which is not
very often-he bores us all for weeks
afterward, telling how it happened.
As soon as he caught sight Of me, he
beckoned me TO his table, and I thought
that was in for at least half hour
punishment. But it turned out for
once that 1 was interested in his talk.
Have you seen it?" he asked, tap
ping the cover of the magazine, and
giving little eager laugh as he spoke,
which confirmed my impression that he
must be in luck.
NO 1 answered. Have you any
thing in it?''
Anything" he almost shouted.
"Why, man, 1 wrote the whole num-
Der"
At this 1 began to wonder if his
brain-neVer too stronghold not sud
denly given way. AS you well know,
All the World is one of the conserva-
tive periodicals-as l will admit that
have found to my own sorrow in the
past-and il was preposterous that it
should make up a whole number, and
a Christmas number al that, from the
work of one man. And it was clear to
my mind that Lightly would not have
been that one man in any event.
While trying to think of something
uuieting to saw I took the magazine
and glanced over the table Of con-
tents. 1t was one of Lightly's fancies-
which did MIN no good in a literary
Way-to have a dozen or more pen
names. He used these indiscriminate-
", as the humor moved him, and it
happened that ! knew most of them.
So you may judge of my surprise when
] tell you that every poem. story, arti-
Gle and essay in the magazine was
signed by some of the many names
that / knew he used. The first was a
Christmas poem, signed G. o. Lightly.
Then a Christmas story, sigred T s.

me, stood for The Story Weaver.

the usual run of such material as ed

serving up for holiday issue. None of
the topics were new, nor so far as I
could discover in a hasty glance, were

signatures were all composed upon the
same peurile plan as the one I have
given.

LIES AND LIARS.

There is nothing in the power of the
human being SO bad as a lie, writes
Mary Spencer in the Globe-Democrat.
There is nothing that smirches char
acter so bad as a lie. There is nothing
that turns one so against himself as
lie. There is nothing that so destroys
the confidence of our friends as a lie.
There is no compensation possible for
the evil of a lie 1t eats back corro-
get back your soundness. 1t rarely
ever, even temporarily, makes profit;
and I think in the end never.
The puzzle of puzzles is why some
people lie so easily. They rarely under
take to be exact, and yet do not recog-
nize themselves as liars. 1t is their
first impulse to avoid straightforward
ness, and they plunge ahead in con-
versation, simply trying to get around
point after point. 1t is a mistake and
a misfortune to form such a habit. 1t
grows on the victim, and it increases
it's power. In nine cases out of ten
the simple facts would be easily told,
and the telling more advantageous
than either concealment or a false
hood; but the habit has been encour-
aged to misrepresent or conceal, and
fertility in purpose not to be open
and honest. When this appears in a
person of good ability, mild disposition
and industry it is lamentable.
The power of lying as a habit to
grow is amazing. The reason probably
is that the liar lies to himself as badly
as he does to others; that is. he tries to
believe he is truthful until he believes
what he says is true, or at least is I'M
certain about it. l know one or two
persons with whom you may say lying
is a chronic disease. They talk on at
entire random. Their whole life be-
comes romance. They may OCCASION
ally touch bottom on a fact, but they
do it by accident They do not know
it. 1t is simply because facts are so
many as to get in their way. What
an unconscionable liar that creature
is" said a friend "She can not tell
the truth" I am not sure but we
should have new name for this sort
of people The fact is they have lost all
sense of the true and the false, as they
have of right and wrong. Louis Ste
venson's novels are no more a piece of
intellectual manufacture than are their
everyday conversations. This is true
not only of some of the lower class,
but of an occasional person in the
highest ranks of society. 1 know an
eminent amateur literateur who is so
snarled up among the creatures of his
ina gination that he can not tell the
real from the fictional. 1t is danger
Gus to be his friend. for he is liable to
get you woven into a web of his fan
cies; and then with all his might he
believes you are guilty of absurdities
or worse that were enacted only in his
brain He will swear to these facts
with all sincerity. His life can never
be restored to a basis of realities.

Where are many tomorrows, my love,

But only one today

May rise tomorrows bright,
But, love, for us, there is but one today.

SEA SHELL MURMURs.

The hollow sea-shell which for years
hath stood
On dusty shelves, when held against the
ear
Prociaims its stormy parent; and we
hear
The faint far murmur of the breaking
We hear the sea. The sea? 1t is the
blood
In our own veins, impetuous and near
And pulses keeping pace with hope and
fear
And with our feelings every shifting
Lo, in my heart hear. as in a shell,
The murmur of world beyond the
grave,
Distinct distinct, though faint and far
it be.
Thou fool; this echo is a cheat as WE'LL
The hum of earthly instincts; and we
crave
A world unreal as the shell-heard sea.
