DISPERSED BY SAUERKRAUT.
The Peculiar Cause of All the Childre
Quitting the Old Home.

The Peculiar Cause of All the Children
Quitting the Old Home.
They were talking about the desertion
of farms by the younger generations for
the alluring charms of the cities; how
young men and women left the home nest
in the country as soon as they felt any
confidence in themselves and hocked 70
the paved streets and brick walls of urban
life in the hope that work would not be
so hard and money would come easier:
Our family furnishes case In point, .
said young German who has latterly
ward Democratic politics. Were all in
the city now except the old folks, who
stick to the farm, and are doing pretty
well. Our reasons for abandoning the
farm, however were not those usually
given, and doubt if parallel case can
be found"
With two brothers and three sisters,
says the Chicago Tribune, he lived on Il
farm 100 miles from Chicago, and they
all aided phlegmatic old father in oper-
ating the place. 1t was II fine piece of
land and the family was happy and pros
porous. But dark disaster came one day
in the shape of Il cabbage crop. The Chi
cago market showed Il strong demand for
sauerkraut. and the farmer decided to go
in for a profitable crop. With the three
boys he planted several acres in cabbage,
with excellent results. The crop was cut
up and packed and there were 800 barrels
of the finest sauerkraut made.
Communicating with Il friend in the gro
Gerry business on the north side the farm
err received an order for ten barrels. A
few days later the grocer announced that
the best he could offer was So cents a bar
rel, the top market price. The old man
couldn't stand such Il drop as that, so he
had the shipment returned, paying freight
charges both ways. Purchasing forty
fine young pigs. he began fattening
them on his high grade sauerkraut. All
went well for Il few days, but the porkers
soon tired of the diet and began to run
from it. The pile grew high, and Il few
of the stronger pigs jumped the fence
and ran away, while others Slckened and
grew weak from starvation.
1t was a puzZler to the old man, but he
was determined to derive some benefit,
and the boys lugged the stuff up to the
orchard near the house, where it was
spread about as a fertilizer. BY this time
the entire family grew turbulent at the
mere mention of sauerkraut, and when
the sun poured its hot rays on the picked
cabbage the girls rebelled. The farmer
was obdurate. and the three girls packed
their effects and came to the city. The
kraut became so powerful that even the
old man could not stand it. and the boys
were instructed to cart it down to Il dis
tant field and spread it. The boys had
been on the verge of mutiny several
times and this settled it. They alr lit
out for Chicago. and have been here
ever since. The girls are in service, and
once in Il great while they all meet with
the lonely and disappointed old Teuton
on the farm. When it was all over the
Chicago sauerkraut market went boom

HADN'T THE NERVE.

Young Rutfins mother-in-law was sick,
Her health had struck II flaw,
And, with the kind concern that moved
The average son-in-law.
He straightway to a settlement
On double-quick did chase,
And brought Il doctor back with him
TO diagnose the case.
With anxious micn he waited then
Until the doctor grave
Had seen the patient, and In turn
This honest verdict gave:
''She needs no medicine, young man;
There'Il he no help for her
Unless you forthwith send her to

All human ailments serve.

by an English critic quoted in the New

Wonderful Story Told to the GulIible
City Boy by the Smart Country Boy.
The smart city boy has countless
wonderful stories to tell to his country
cousin when he goes to the farm for Il
part of the summer. The city may not be
a good place for him to stay in the warm
weather, but it is good place to brag
about. City Boy got caught, however.
when he had pumped Country Boy full
of yarns about marvellous things III the
metropolis.
well, / know" said Country Boy,
with an angelic look on his freckled face,
but my uncle over to Cross Roads beats
'em all. He's got twenty hives of bees
and he's got name for every bee.'
City Boy jeered, but seeing Il chance
to get big story to tell in the city, was
convinced.
Well" he said. "tell me some of the
names. What does he call some of
them?'
Bees" said Country Boy his face as
expressionless as freckled flour sack.
Just bees. He calls 'em all bees."-New

n Cooling Drink.

During the first very warm days of early
summer. the thirst is generally greater
than when one has grown accustomed to
the heat Resort to the pitcher of ice
water furnishes often only temporary re-
lief and, by frequent and excessive drink
ing from it, harm is sometimes done A
little lemon, squeezed into half glass of
water. will quench the thirst far better
than q whole glass of water without it.
OR if the water has been taken too freely,
the eating of slice of lemon generally
takes away the parched feeling from the
throat Pure. strained orange juice is
also healthful drink. All who content
themselves with freshly drawn water
from cistern or well, without adding ice,
know how much more lasting is the sat
isfaction.-Ram's Horn.

The Real Demon OF the Marsh

Is not spook, but reality. 1t is neither a
"bogie' nor 'kelpie," nor any other of those
spirits which the credulous have supposed to
haunt the banks of rivers and streams after
dusk Its name is malaria and though invisi-
ble, it is very terrible and tenacious when it
seizes you. Hostetter's Stomach Bittcrs drives 1t
away, nor will it attack those whose systems arc
fortified with the great medicinal defensive agent
The miasmatic mists of early morning, the va
pors exhaled at eventide may be safely breathed
by those protected by the Bitters. In the tropics
where every form of malarial disease threatens
the sojourner, and is particularly virulent
when developed, the Bittcrs is the best reliance
of the inhabitant. For dyspepsia, liver COM
plant, lack Of vigor, appetite and sleep; for
rheumatism and nervousness the Bitters are a
sure and afe remedy.

MY IDEAL AND i.

We did not meet in glittering hall,
At birth and beauty's court,
Nor yet at banquet, play or ball, =
The scenes Of Fashions sport;
Nor anywhere among the throng
OF giided Foly'S slaves,
Whose queens make wealth the CLOAK OF
wrong.
Whose kings are secret knaves.
We did not meet among the flowers
All in garden fair,
Where birds and bees bcguile the hours
And love is in the air;
Where Nature dons her richest robe
To charm all eyes that see, %,
And groups the graces OF the globe !,
In bowers Of Already. y,
We did not meet in foreign chimes, WIS
Meath cold or sunny skies, !

In winter or in fall;

We did not meet at all! Truth.

EXCELSIOR.

The morning sun clomb up the blue
AS morning suns are wont to do,
And in the little tube of glass
The mercury was seen to pass;
Excelsior.
The day wore on and on and on,
Each moment farther from the dawn,
And still that mercury In the glass
Insists upon its right to pass;
Excelsior.
The sun has blistered all the blue
For miles around and then some too,
And nothing but Il cold wave will
Prevent that mercury going still;

Thou dost in turn control thy tenement.
And since thy glad release will soon be sent
Though thou hast suffered harsh oppres-

Now. when Deaths shadow DER thy face is
