THE MODERN FARMER.
~ Lot Is Not as Hard as Was That Of
His Grandfather.

H1 Lot is Not as Hard AZ Wa Thai Of
His Grandfather.
Most young men in choosing a life
business would rather select an occupa.
ton which requires only a little phys.
ical effort. That is one reason Why
young men from the country over
crowd the cities. For a clerkship which
enables them to wear fine clothes and
see the glare of city life they leave o
good home and more comforts than
they can possibly compass by the
meager salary for which they work;
provided, always, that they are SC for.
tunate as to secure u situation.
On looking at the variety and perfec
ton of labor-saving farm machinery
1t seems to me only about half needs to
be done by hard hand labor which was
necessary rs or 80 years ago. To a per:
son who can appreciate, and therefore
value and admire. all the various plows;
harrows, potato diggers. threshing ma.

and the thousand and one l~abor-saying
machines; including corn planters and
corn cultivators, seeders of all sorts foi
wheat, oats, grass and laxseed, ETC., il
would seem that but little hard work
was left to be done by hand. Old
men from other walks Of life on seeing
all these implements are heard to ex.
claim: "Oh! that were Il young man

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?
A Report That Tom Reed Does Not
Want TO BE Speaker.

uuG W 11c sSptAkc
Washington, Nov. 13.-If a prominent
congressman of New York state Is cor.
rec1ly quoted Tom Reed will not be o
candidate for speaker of the next house.
Mr.. Reed believes he would have made
a much better showing in his canvas
for the republican nomination las,
spring had it not been for the enemies
he made as speaker.
That Is plausible, because Mr.. Reed
publicans by his committee assignments
and by his methods of recognizing only
a few favorites on the floor.
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois announced
prior to the opening of the last session
that If Mr.. Reed did not appoint him
chairman OF the ways and means COM
mittee there would be trouble.
Mr.. Reed appointed Dlngley Of
Maine and Hopkins concluded to say
nothing. But Hopkins Is planning tG
contest for the speakership of the next
congress whether Mr.. Reed Is a candl-
date or not. If Mr.. Reed does not desire
the Office and General G%rosvenor of Ohio
is not provided for by the administra.
ton at the time the new congress meets
it Is probable that the latter will be a
formidable candidate. Mr.. Reed shows
off to better advantage as the republi-
can leader on the floor than In the chair,
and he Is not so apt to make enemies
when he has no committees to appoint.
If he chooses to remain on the floor 1t
will be because he is after the presiden.
tial nomination in 1900.
