farmers were spending $40 an acre on
their lands and were only getting s.
back, their annual product should have
been worth less than S1,100,O00, ,0C0,
whereas it was more than 81, 400, ,CO0,OOO
1t 10 plain, then, that Mr.. st. Johns
statement of the distress of the farm
ere is exaggerated. But there is another
t..
The assessed value of all farms in the
F. L lifted States in 1880 was SO, 1877 0o0,-
900. In 1890 it was s13,279, 100000.
i From this it will be seen that in ten
years, which embraces the period when
Mr.. st. John declares that the farmers
we're losing 100000, the value of
their farms increased thirty per cent.
These are the figures against MIR. st.
Johns unfounded statements, and they
show that the farmers have not only
lived. but have been feeding some 75,-
600, 900 people in this country and many
more in foreign countries, and they are
iu no danger of going to the "demnition
bowwows."
The fact remains that Mr.. st. John
is wholly wrong about the condition OF
the farmers. 1t is true that many farm |
ers are in debt. Every body who does
business and has any credit In the
United States is in debt. But there is
among the stump speakers a wild talk
about mortgages. Let us look at the
record. Here it is. OF the 1867 900
families in the United States living on
farms, 3,143,O00, or Ga per cent, own
their farms. OF these farms only
810, 900 were encum bered by mortgages.
The value of these encountered farms is
81, ,O55, 100000. The encumbrance on
them is S1,Os6, 100000. percentages of
mortgage debt of $3.50. But, according
to Mr. st. John, all the farmers ought
TO be in the poor house. But since they
are not, and the greatest numbers of
hem are in no danger of such celia
nifty, what credit can be given to the
Wild and extravsgant statements of
nlver's leading finsncier, and how much
ess can any consideration be given to
he unsupported declarations OF the
speakers?

THE CHRISTMAS HORSE REVIEW

A distinctive feature of the Christmas
Horse Review for 1896, just received from
the publishers, the Horse Review Co.,
Chicago, is that each of the four supple
ments is an exact likeness of one of
the notable campaigners of 1896. The
subjects are Kentucky Union, 2:07!,
the fastest new 2;10 trotter; Ottinger,
2:093, the years champion trotter of the
Pacific coast; Page, 2:09i, the fastest
new , 80 trotter of the year, and Badge,
2:074, the famous Minnesota PAGER. The
literary features are too numerous to
mention and the statistics cannot fail to
interest every horseman. There is, in
short, something on every page that is
worth reading and the number, viewed
from any standpoint, is easily the great
est ever issued by a turf journal.

No infant receives warmer welcome to
the world or is more happily born than
the Italian baby. No infant is the object
of more caresses or is more fondly admired.
Indeed, no matter how poor the mother
and father may be- no matter how large
the family, they have very merry times
when another son or daughter comes to
them. The neighbors are invited in, a
feast is prepared, a gallon or two of cheap
wine is procured, and the merriment some
times lasts several days.
The Italian considers there are only
three great events in the life of man
namely, his birth, marriage and death.
These three events never pass without a
gorgeous and elaborate celebration. In
this simple way they strive to carry out
the tender life lesson. "When you were
born, you wept while those around you
smiled. So live that when you die you
alone may smile and those around you
weep" Ard so they laugh and drink
wine and sing, for they believe it will
have an effect upon the life of the CULVER
ing form soon to take its place among
them. New York Times

An Artists Courtship.

Century. Mrs. Bacon quotes the following
from Nine Demont- Breton:
81 was only ii years old when 1 first
saw my uncle's pupil Adrien. saw him
only once, but for a year after thought
often of the handsome fellow of 10, with
his sketches under his arm. had thought
so often of him that when at the end of O
year 1 saw him again l was enraptured
In few hours he was gone, and the next
time we met l was TO- He appeared at
intervals to consult my uncle about his
work, but my feelings were such that I
wondered with fear whether he had even
given me a thought. l realized what ID
would be to me If, as was just possible, he
was almost ignorant of my existence.
again, the third time, he came and
went. Soon after my father was question
ing me about many things, and about my
feelings for my young playmate. He named
first one, then another l was surprised
when he asked, as if by chance what
thought of my uncle's pupil Adrien De
mont He had only to look to realize what
the mere mention of this name was to me.
at soon transpired that he had asked
my father for me, and we became engaged
an engagement which was TO last fol
three years and more. But they were not
long. We saw each other every two weeks
and wrote between times, just as, an
told, young people who love each other dc
