To Make the Farm Paw,

AT the Bloomingburg (Ohio) Farm
ers' Institute, Mr.. John Larimor, in the
course of an address said.
One of the greatest hindrances to
profitable farming is desire to go too
fast at first and to purchase things we
could get along without.
The obliging agents tell you that you
need not trouble about the money;
your note will do just as well; but you
will find that you must pay big interest
for the privilege of going in debt, and
you are always at a disadvantage TO
your creditor.
Have the money ready to pay and
you can then make your half OF the bar
gain. Take good care of your farm and
your stock, and they will furnish the
money for necessary outlays.
l will just say to young men who
expect to make farming their occupa-
tion, that they may expect hard work
and plenty of it, and they will not need
to join any baseball nine for exercise;
but if they take care of their health
and habits it will not hurt them, for I
have tried it for over sixty years and
am today well preserved man. l can
truly say that with the blessings of
our Heavenly Father upon the labors
of myself and family l have made
farming pay, and what l have done
others can do.

The late Joseph B. McCullagh, editor
of the St Louis Globe Democrat, had
marked peculiarities. He was one of
the gruffest of men, yet under harsh
exterior there was kind and warm

to his real character is related by
David Gibson, the Cincinnati Times
Star artist, who was employed on the

member of the reportorial staff of the
paper, after he received his salary one
Saturday night, lost a $50 bill on his

No Wonder She Yelled

A Grant County, Cal, lady who did
no. understand the language of rail-
readers was visiting railroad town
last summer, and was near the depot
while freight train was being made
up. As the train was backed up one
brakeman called to the other: Jump
onto her when she comes; run her
down beyond the elevator and cut her
in two and bring the head end up to
the depot" The young lady jumped
up and down and yelled murder as
loudly as she could.

Encouragement Of Crime.

Crime is rampant in the country, and
ii is scarcely surprising when we re-
member what small encouragement
there is to crime. In Tennessee crime
receives much encouragement from the
pardon mill and from the officers of
the law. If a criminal be tried and
convicted, too often the prosecuting
attorney and the judge who sentenced
the prisoner will sign petition for his
pardon, and if these officials do not in.
tervene to prevent the vindication of
the law the pardoning power will pro-
ceed to exercise the clemency prayed
for by the criminal. The penitentiary
business has become an interesting sys.
tenn of receiving convicted prisoners
and turning out pardoned criminals.
The law is lamely enforced, and when
it is vindicated by proper judg.
ment against crime every avail
able agency is started to prevent the
execution of the Sc ltence. The crimi.
nal class is the most favored class of
the community. The law is severe
threat to the law abiding and its ma.
jesty is respected by them, but to the
lawless and criminal element the law
is little more than practical joke. 1t
is miserable and friendless wretch
OF criminal who is not encouraged
to believe that the law is a sham for
piling up criminal costs and a means
of pro viding for the stream OF maudlin
sympathy which runs the pardon mill
and turns out so many who should pay
the penalty adjudged for the crimes

Criminal Costs.

One of the most important duties
that will confront the next Legislature
is the question of reform in the various
branches of our State government.
That there are abuses now existing
there can be no doubt and the interest
of the tax payers of the State require
that these abuses shall be remedied.
The people are burdened entirely too
heavily on account of the cost system,
which in it's operation is burdensome
beyond patience. Radical reforms
should be made along this line, and
the matter of criminal cost should re-
ceive especial consideration. As now
the greatest leak in County and State
revenues is the cost of criminal prose.
cutions. About half million dollars
r year is spent by the State for this
pul pose, while the counties spend al
most as much more. Take Warren
County as an example, and the tax
payers are burdened every year on this
account something like $4,000. The
Legislature could enact such laws on
the subject of criminal costs that
would afford the good citizens relief
from such burdens-it would almost
be better to let the small offender go
unpunished. The benefciaries under
the present cost system will have a
powerful lobby at the capitol to defeat
any attempt to change the present laws
as relating to costs, but the people
should bestir themselves and mark for
future slaughter every representative
who falters in this important duty.

Hurry.

Isn't this true? The bane of many
a home is hurry. The father is in
such hurry to get to his work that
if breakfast is not ready at the ex-
act minute he is out of sorts and
frowns, and fretful speeches are the
result. Then to prevent this, mother
must hurry to get breakfast ready,
and all hurry to eat it, so there is no
time for pleasant good-morning
greetings and cheerful chat. After
breakfast father takes his hat and
hurries away. Mother is in such a
hurry with her work that she has no
time to sympathize with, advise, en-
courage Or mother the children in
any way, but hurries them off to
school. So it goes all day long, and at
night they all hurry off to bed, so
they may hurry up the next morning
and begin the hurry all over again.
This constant hurry wears on the
nerves, brings wrinkles to the face
and fretful words to the lips, and robs
life of half it's comfort and enjoy
ment.
We ask why is it?

A Bicycle Souvenir.

The rowing wheel is put away now,
and other sports absorb our energy,
but with slight variation one of
Tom Moore's couplets may be applied
to the jolly bicycle:
You may break, you may batter the
wheel if you will,
But the memories of fun will cling to
it still.
A girl who can handle the needle as
well as tread the pedal has fashioned
a sofa-pillow which gives much
amusement to her friends. 1t is a
good, generous pillow, almost a yard
square. The material is denim, on
which is embroidered the semblance
of bicycle-wheel. The hub, the
spokes, the tire are realistically rep
resented, and here and there, haphaz-
ard, at irregular intervals, are rect
angles about the size of large visiting
cards. On these cards are written or
embroidered the names of compan-
ions on bicycle jaunts, with the
dates of special days when occurred
memorable events. It is amusing to
see some young man scan the names
on that pillow, and hear him burst in
to peals of laughter as he remembers
one after another the comic accidents,
the sentimental situations, the breezy
and breakneck episodes of the past
season, and as he finishes the record,
he puts the pillow behind him, leans
back and says, "And next summer
we'll have still more fun ...

A HELPFUL CORNER.

An exchange says: The exactions
are so great upon housekeepers today
in large town and cities that compe-
tent help is soon allowed an indie
pendence of action which could not
come about in any other line of work.
With the increased interest in house
keening, now dignifed by the title,
domestic science" there are lectures
and courses of study enough in it's
different branches to keep one inter
ested in something outside the rou-
tine of work yet which is all the
time bringing the student nearer per-
lection and promotion. This is only
another step in the direction of our
plea, and that is, that the servant
girl problem is the coming one to
solve and until the position is given
the rank it must have, the highest of
such kinds, there is something ur-
gent to be done. The need is not
felt only in large cities but country
towns as well.

well-heated oven, leaving the cover on
the same as when the bread was rails
ing, and bake the usual length of
time, or very little longer if there is
any doubt of the oven not being hot
enough at first. One hour bakes salt
rising bread very nicely, and it is so
moist, and no hard, thick crust on
top.
What hop-yeast I have tried is
equally as nice so that we are all very
much in favor of covered bread while

wedding, but on the same day. The
society in no case will exercise any
