have been interested lately in n young
man, a typical growth Of the tenements,

lead better life, with, hope, some de-
gree of success. A few days ago l met him
on the street and stopped to ask how he
was prospering. In my hand at the time

the moment that we met / saw his eyes
fastened on that with a wolflsh look that
made me tremble. did not dare put it In
my pocket lest he should discover my dis
trust, and yet felt that it was cruel to
stand there with it Haunted in the face of
his desperation. The interview was most
trying. asked him few questions, to
which he scarcely replied, SO fascinated
was he with the sight Of the purse, and as
soon as could with ease bade him good
by and walked on. AS l did SO he raised
his eyes to mine with conscious, hunted,
yet baffled look, that told me as plainly as
II he had said it that were I not the re-

Henry Williams, one of Bradford's
wideawake progressive farmers, reports
a prosperous season. This year he raised
270 bushels of corn on two acres OF
ground, dressing it with a light coat OF
dressing and 400 pounds of superphos-
phate to the acre. To give some idea OF
the amount of corn it will be well to say
that he had room 40 by 90 feet, the
floor of which was covered to the depth OF
a foot with what people said was the
handsomest corn they had ever seen. He
also raised 235 bushels Of mixed grain,
1856 bushels of carrots, 43 bushels OF
beets, the last two named being raised ON
one eighth of an acre, besides number
of bushels of potatoes. He claims that
what corn fodder he raised paid him for
the labor laid out on the corn, 80 that
he has got his corn net.

have been crowded every day. Business
generally speaking has been considerably
ahead of last year and would have beer
much larger had there been sleighing.

are looking for good sales, today. While
many valuable gifts have been obtained

full articles has prevailed to greater ex
