milkmen were just going on their
rounds, ;he compact was made by
these two, and very true they were L"
each other. When business WAS good.
they had their warm supper every
night together; but often business was
not good, and then Jim cheerinlly ate
- piece of dry bread, that his friend
might have some too. Every night
tney went to sleep curled up together,
and poor lonely Jim wondered how he
ever lived without his little dumb
friend.
Bat @re bright morning as jim, with
his backing box on his shoulder, was
vainlv hoping for customers, he picked
up piece OF an old newspaper, and in
the Lost" column, which has a tasci-
nation for most people, he read:
LOST, a Skye terrier with yellow ribbon
and answering to the name of Gypsy. re-
ward will b. given. DR.. Van Sorman,-Fiith
Avenue
Now Jim did not know what Skye
terrier was, and, boylike, he never
noticed ribbons, but as he absently re-
peated the words to himself, the little
dog jumped upon him at the name of
Gypsy" He repeated it again and,
no, there could he no mistake, it was
his name. a q lse examination showed
bit of dirty yellow ribbon under the
little dog 5 tangled hair.
And now struggle began in the
boys mind. Gypsy wasn't his. Should
he take him TO his real master? mo"
said self "Yes," said conscience. And
although Jim had never been taught
very much about right and wrong, he
felt that he must lose his little friend.
Hardly daring 10 think how lonely
he would be without him, he determ-
ined to go that very morning. But first
he tried 10 straighten out the little
dogs tangled hair with a piece of
broken comb, ard he actually stopped
at little thread and needle shop and
bought fresh yellow ribbon for him.
Then giving Gypsy his favorte break
fast of meat, While he himself ate only
dry bread, .Jim took him in his arms
and started for Fifth avenue.
The house proved to be an aristocratic old
mansion. and the elegant footman who OPEN
ed the door was about to close ii again, when
he SAW Gypsy's bright eyes peering out from
under The shabby jacket. This Immediately
had its elect upon the footman, who knock
cd and then threw open the door of a lux
urious office. where portly old gentleman
with kindly eyes waited TO hear what jim
had to say for himself. The little fellows
heart was full. and all he could do was to open
his jacket and show the little dog contentedly
nestled there.

But he was lost three weeks ago"

The kind doctor soon had the whole story,
and so much pleased was he with the boys
honesty and kindness Of heart that he made
him his office hoy. Jim became a favOrite
with everybody in the house, but Gypsy loved
him better than anybody else, and the hoy
sometimes thought that his kindness to
homeless little dog had brought him all his

Plenty of Clean Water.

AS an egg is more than nine-tenths
water, the Importance of supplying the
hens with all the water they require
can not be too strongly urged. Water
not only enters into the composition of
an egg as the leading substance but it
fulfills other purposes. 1t is essential
to the bird as solvent to the food,
when hard grains are fed as the giz-
zard that grinds the grain to powder,
but the water is thus necessary to as
sist the digestion and to convert the
food into blood. 1t is generally sup
posed that birds are not partial to
clean water and will drink from filthy
pools. But the fact is the hen is rather
fastidious and viii always prefer pure
water and clean food when she has
leave to attain such. If she is expected
to lay well she will require more than
| food -SOufhern Farm.

The sense of smell, which at the dawn

and less of valne, would appear to have
little chance of gaining an important
position in any BRANCH OF human cul-
ture. And yet it came about that,one

When it began to be felt that the an

vides for the family in the country
home. What splendid place in which
to rear the tender offspring of the
family into well-rounded maturity, free
from the excitement that overstralns
the forming nerves. Perhaps this has
something to do with the fact that SO
many successful men in cities proudly
point to the fact that they spent their
early years as toilers on the farm.
By all means make the country home
the most attractive spot on earth.
True enough that the farmers toll is
not often rewarded with riches, and he
has many obstacles to overcome in
order to succeed even in making liv-
ing, but admitting all that, he has
calling which can be adorned with the
graces of home and social life. To do
this he must still be practical and
not sentimental farmer. If flowers
bloom about his house. the corn will
still toss its tall tassels and hang out
its weighty ears in the fields. Music by
his daughters in the house will not
supersede the melody of the plowshare
in his ground. The farmer is man
whose home can show comfort, beauty
and utility all combined.
! Much has been wisely written about
the necessity of improving the farmers
home life, and line must be added to
line and precept to precept until living
in the country comes at last to parity
with life in the town. To this end the
grouping of good homes must receive
more attention. The road that leads to
market, to the church and to the neigh
Dor must, by common consent and united
endeavor, be improved. The school
house ought to be better structure
and the churches must be near.
Tell me about home life" said
philosopher, and / will fortell the des.
tiny of your country. As the family
so the nation of families, and as the
farm home appears, SO may we judge
the real prosperity of the land. SAD
indeed the situation of land where al
its glory is just the gliding that ap
: pears in the vain show of municipal
wealth, where the homes of the peopl,
express by a mournful dilapidatiol
either that poverty prevails or the ad
vantages of the country home are no

THE COUNTRY HOME.
ft Is Capable of Being Made Attractive Be-
You'd That of the City.


yond That of the City.
The following excellent article,
gracefully written, sound in sentiment
and fruity with good advice, was writ
ten some time ago by Gen. Clement A.
Evans, of Georgia:
There is claim about the story OF
old Obed Edom, the honest. the brave
old farmer, who took the ark into the
house and kept it there until it could
be established in its national position.
1t is certain that according to the laws
of his country it was his house, held
by good title and unencumbered by
mortgage. Doubtless the earliest duty
that man owes to himself, his family,
society and state is to provide home
where he can enjoy the sweets of fami-
lv and social life, and which he can hold
as free citizen of his commonwealth.
This is sometimes difficult to do, and
oftentimes unforeseen difficulties pre-
vent the attainment of his object. But
sshappy is the man who is in such a
CASE where he can call his home hi:
own. however humble it may be.
The farm home is capable of attrac
lions that can not be given the houses
in the cities by the expenditure o
thousands of dollars The site on tn
hill, the natural growth in the yard
the broad view unobstructed b. bricl
and mortar, the sweet, fresh air, tn
pure water from the well or spring
are all advantages which nature pre-
