Don't talk to me about eating and
drinking. l don't want to hear an
other word about coming east to get
salt water products.
l got fresher Blue Points at the
Planters House, ST. Louis. last week
than | got at the Shoreham today.
The shad at the Coates House, Kan
sas City. was finer and less tishy than
that l ate at the Waldorf, New York
last Sunday; the terrapin served in
the Auditorium, Chicago, two weeks
ago, was better cooked and had finer
flavor than that L got at Renner'S in
Baltimore, while L have a more lux
urous pot of baked pork and beans
every Sunday morning at my home
than l had at the SWEETEST Boston
hotel. While neighbOr farmer
George Ellis-threw "a half dozen can
vas back ducks on my back por CHI two
weeks ago, their StOmachS being full
of wild celery seed that they had
eaten on the Gulf coast the day be-
fore. Don't talk to me about eating.
You fatigue my epigastrium. We pay
no attention to eating. Our leisure
time is largely taken up with books,
magazines, music, art, and other soul
full matters. We have our business
problems all figured out to mathe-
NAUTICAL demonstration. A COW well
managed brings d net income of 11.6
cents per day; IL 720 DAYS old steer, in
crease in value just seven cents per
day net from the dav he is born till
the time of his marketing. While a
270 day old pig adds AZ cents per day
to the farmers net income. An in
duStriouS, well managed hen is worth
81 cents per day all the year round.
We figure this scientifically and if we
want a greater fixed income we just
add few more cows, hogs and steers
and it is done. We pay but little at
tention to money making or money
getting. We don't have to. The hir-
ed man does all the laborious figuring
on the incomes and it is he who looks
after the details. We don't live on
the environment of incomes, outgoes,
grub, victuals or drink.
What do we read?
Everything worth reading: the lat
est books, all the magazines and daily
papers. Nothing escapes us.
We live to acquire knowledge and
wisdom and we read that we may be
broadened and widened; that we may
have charity towards our benighLed
eastern brethren. Go west, young
man and learn wisdom. Go to Kan
sas and meet some of the blue blood
of the nation, associate with Stalwart
American manhood, and absorb lit
tie of the love to God and love to man
so prevalent out there. Get 1000 feet
above sea level, and in doing so you
learn to be more virtuous, more
truthful, and will be good many
Thousand feet nearer God and heaven
than you will eveI get if you remain
here.
No, / thank you, l never smoke and
never take anything away from home.
Good bye; come and see me; my post
office address is Ell Dorado. Kansas.
