A farmer tried an experiment last year
to see whether potatoes paid him best sold
from the field at current price, or stored
until spring. He put away 100 bushels.
In April he had weighed them and found
they had shrunk to SO bushels. After
sorting them there remained 6S. These
at 60 cts. a bushel brought $40 80, and
for the same he could have gotten in the
field at the time of digging, SIS. In adj

Doing it Well.

The boy who does just as little as pos
sible for an employer sometimes wonders
why he is not given higher position in
the business house in which he is employed,
when less brilliant companion who works
for another establishment is advanced very
rapidly.
A boy about sixteen years of age had
been seeking employment in one of our
large cities He looked yainly for two
weeks, and was well nigh hopeless Of
getting any work to do, when he entered
a store kept by gentleman whom we will
call Mr.. Stone
The lad asked the usual question, '.Can
YOU give me anything to do?
Mr. Stone, to whom he appealed,
answered, mo, full now Then hap
pening to notice an expression of despon-
dency on the youths face, he said: If
you want to work half an hour or So 20
down stairs and pile up that kindling wood
Do it well, and I'll give you twenty-five
cents
"All right, thank you, sir, answered
the young man, and went below. As the
store was about closing for the afternoon,
be came up. stairs and went to. Mr.. Stone.
''Ah, yes said the gentleman some
what hastily piled up the wood2
Well, here 5 your money.
mo, sir; | m not quite through, and |
should like to come and finish in the morn
ing," said the young fellow, refusing the
silver piece.
IAN right, said Mr. Stone, and
thought no more of the affair till the next
morning, when he CHANGED to be in the
basement, and, recollectmg the wood-pile,
glanced into the coal and wood-roOm. The
wood was arranged in orderly tiers, the
room was Clearly swept, and the young
man was at that moment engaged in re-
pairing the coalbin. -'Hullor said Mr..
Stone II didn't engage you to do any
thing hut pile up that wood. y
II know it, sir, answered the lad;
''but | saw this needed to be done, and |
had rather work than not But l don
expect any pay but my quarter.
s.Humphr' muttered Mr. Stone; and
went up to his office without further com
ment
Half an hour later the young man pre-
scented himself, clean and well brushed, for
his pay, and Mr., Stone passed him his
quarter.
Thank you, said the, youth and
turned away.
Stop minute, said Mr.. Stone
Have you place in view where you
can find work.?
,sNo, sir,
"Well, l want you to work for me
Here, said he writing something on a
slip of paper, take this to the gentleman
standing by the counter; he will tell you
what to do. Do your work as well as VOC
did that downstairs, and-that' all. . aad
Mr.. Stone turned away before the yeang
fellow recovered from his surprise SUFFICIENT
ly to speak
This happened fifteen years ago. Mr..
Stone store is more than twiee as large
now as it was then, and itssuperintendent
is the young man whA began by piling
kindling wood for tweEty five cents. Faith
fitness has been his motto BY it he has
been advanced. step by step. and has not
yet by any means reached the topmOst
rou1daof success He is sure to become
partner some day either with his empower
or in some other business house.
