ADVERTISING FOR FARMERS.

While waiting at a country home

upon expressing a curiosity to know in
what manner farmers could advertise,
he said:

Michigan, where l own and till a large

of grain I raise both cattle and hogs. l

When 1 conclude that 1 am ready to
sell my stuff, I insert a local in three
or four local papers published at those
villages stating the amount and quality
and, if stock, when it will be ready to
go. Then, instead of being compelled
to go from one dealer to another in or
der to receive a fair price, they come
to me, and y mail and personally put
a price on it. The buyers know my
methods, and also know that other
dealers are after me, and as a conse,

can afford. 1 always get the best
prices going, and my little outlay in
advertising pays me. Then another
thing: If I want to buy a milk COW,

and Harry for the desired article, and

To feel, and yet to do and dare, is to be
truly noble.-R. s. Macarthur, D. D.
On the Sabbath 1 watch the earliest
sunshine and fancy that aholier bright
ness marks the day when there shall
be no buzz of voices on the exchange,
nor traffic in shops, o crowd nor bu,
siness anywhere but at church. Many
have fancied so. For my own part,
whether 1 see it scattered down among
tangled woods, or beaming broad across
the fields, or hemmed in bet weeu brick
buildings, or tracing out the figure of
the easement on my chamber floor,
still l recognize the Sabbath sunshine.
And ever let me recognize it. Some
illusions-and this among them-are
the shadows of great truths. Doubts
may fit around me, or seem to close
their evil wings and settle down, but so
long as I imagine that the earth is
hallowed and the light of Heaven re
tains its sanctity on the Sabbath
while that blessed sunshine lives
within me-never can my soul have
lost the instinct of its faith. Il it has
gone astray, it will return again-Na-

lis only able to run four months out of
the year, owing to the rigorous climate,
and is crowded with business. Your

road to the summit and a hotel would
be n of the best paying investments

What about politics? have lost
track of politics in this delightful eli
mate but there is one thing you can
say, the sentiment of a great majority
of the American people is unques-
tionably in favor of the free and IN
limited coinage of silver. Strenuous
efforts will he made in the coming cleo
tiOns to thWart the will of the people
in the interest of the gold ring and
bondholders. Ny visit to Mexico and
it's prosperity convinces me more than
ever that the best interests of the peo-
pie of the United States will be served
by a speedy return to the free and I'M
unlimited coinage of both gold and sill,
yer as contemplated by u Constitu'
ton.
Judge Clark had the pleasure of see
ing President Diaz at Orizaba. He
thinks the Presidents management of
the destinies of Mexico rightly i'm
presses people that heis one of the great
est statesmen of the age. The judge
also called at the Supreme Court yes
