1t is not an uncommon thing in
France to see a farmer forty and fifty
miles from home in wet weather with a
load. If he sees a prospect of three
days rain, he puts a tarpaulin over his
head, a cover over his horse and a
waterproof coat on and starts off to
market. He may go fifty miles before
he finds a market that suits him, or he
may know in advance just where he is
going. You do not often see anybody
driving fifty miles thro' rain storm
in the Uuited States to find a market
for a load of hay, but it is not uncOm-
mon to see farmers wagons forty or
fifty miles from home in France. They
choose the wet weather for that pur-
pose. Their roads are just as good
then as at any other time. e.-Philadel-

"There is only one successful wayof
getting a man up early" says a hotel
clerk. eve have to send a boy to his
door who will knock until he hears,
and then tell him that there is a tele-
gram for him. That always brings
commercial man out at once, and as
he opens the door for the telegram
we just say; Sir, it is 40 o'clock.
He will slam the door shut with the
biggest sort of an oath and tear about
the room as mad as a wild bull. That
wakes him up pretty thoroughly, and
he comes downstairs feeling so sheep
ish that he doesn't say a word. We
practice that deception every morning.
We've got to. The other morning we
awoke a man in that way after trying
the bell repeatedly. He was mad at
first, but when he came downstairs he
said it would have cost him $500 if he
had missed the train.

necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
