A PRECIOUS RECOLLECTION.

A stranger who was walking through
Jackson park the other day and not
ing the changes that time and the
South park commissioners are grad
ually making in that historic locality
was observed to stop under one of the
trees, glance at the wooded island,
squint at the statue of the "Republic''
IN tht distance and carefully examine
the tree itself.
Then he slowly nodded his head
several times, emitted a sigh and soft.
ly said to a bystander:
II shall always look upon this spot
where I am standing now as the dear
est spot on earth"
1T was here perhaps" ventured the
other, ''that you met the young lady
to whom-to whom you we're after
ward-er"-
1T was here" said the stranger
dreamily, that I paid 81 rs for a bowl
of cold soup, a piece of asbestus beef
steak, a slab of bakers bread and four
swallows of coffee. "-Chicago Tribune.

BORROWING AND LENDING

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Some wise man, or woman Il am in.
clined to think it was a woman), once
said: ''If possible neither a borrower
nor a lender be-" Pretty good advice.
| wish everybody would heed it.
From my standpoint, I believe in
lending if I am the borrower. It is so
nice to have clever neighbors who are
cheerful lenders. Only last week one
of u neighbors killed a large hog.
We have not killed any yet this fall, so
1 sent n of the children over and
asked for the loan of shoulder of pork.
Ny neighbor sent it and said she was
glad to accommodate me. I hope she
was. She will lose nothing, for 1 shall
return the meat promptly, and send
some backbones and spareribs extra for
interest. That is but one instance ;
several might be mentioned. There
r a class of borrowers, however,
who will try the patience of
a saint, if such there be in
this day and time. Mrs. Smith
sent her little son over the other day to
borrow -four, giving as an excuse that
her husband had been too busy to car
ry wheat to the mill. She also wanted
a little soap and some soda. Mrs.
Jones sent to me to borrow a spool of
No. 40 black thread, a cuptul of coffee
and my sausage grinder the same
morning. In the afternoon Mrs. Brown
sent to borrow my churn, vial Of tur
pentine, a cupful of coffee, some spice
and some black pepper. She also
wanted to know if I could lend her
some vinegar. Such borrowing as I
have mentioned makes me tired. They
are improvident and careless. Some
of them never pay back what they Dor
row promptly; some not all. Yet if I
refuse to lend, they get angry. and I
can't bear to be at 'outs" with any Of
my neighbors. 1 hope the women of
this country will change in this respect
