A Bentoa county farmer has written a
very interesting letter OIL the subject of
baying poor farm. Weregret that on
account of TIE crowded condition of our
columns we canaot publish it at length,
but here is synopsis. Farmingin Will
annette valley does not pay to exceed
FIVE per cent. If the county court can
induce selfsupporting melt and women
to take care of from twelve to sixteen
invalids and do the farm work also, then
it might be policy for the county to not
only buy one but several farms. If the
county only takes care of such as arc not |
then it Cannot work
4 farm. The b:st investment Benton
county can make is te pay its present in
debtedness. The present mode of keep |
ing the county poor is as cheap a way as
can be devised if done right.

Not Killed by Electric Shocks.

"There is a lot of misapprehension
about the deadly effects of shock
from a trolley wire," said Chief
Electrician Whittlesy, of the Brook
lyn Heights railroad to a reporter of
the Brooklyn On. y Standard
Union. ''Most people believe that a
contact with one of these feed wires
is fatal; but the fact is that, so far as
known, only one person has ever been
killed in this country as direct re-
suit of contact with a trolley wire,
and that was a weak boy in Boston
who threw another wire over the feed
wire and held it taut from both ends
The fact is that 500 volts is not suf-
fcient to kill man in ordinary bodily
health. I have received shocks of
that voltage many times, and while
they produce nervous shocks, have no
permanent bad effects. AS a matter
of fact, most linemen who are killed
while working on the electric roads
dies from fractured skulls. The cleo
trio shock throws them from the plat
forms on which they work

SUMNER THEATERS.
OF Athens, and How They Are Con-
structed for Comfort.


The luxurious modern Athenian,
Notwithstanding his great love of
music and amusement, could never
endure to remain pent up In sitting
theater, however great might be the
attraction offered 1t has been found
necessary, therefore, to adopt some
thing which combines the two essen
tials, comfort with amusement. Use
full suggestions from the past are not
wanting In Athens. One. has only to
go round the Acropolis to see how the
ancient Inhabitants solved a similar
difficulty; the theater of Dionysius, or
that OF Herodes on the southern side
of the Acropolis, and the Stadium
further east, furnish excellent exam
pies to the modern Athenian. A the
alter, then, consisting of wooden
stage and temporary wooden seats, is
erected inside a yard or enclosure,
with no high walls to keep out the wei
come cool breezes and no roof to OBJ
struct the view of the beautiful starry
sky. Such a theater on clear, quiet
night, pleasantly cool after the intense
heat of the day, is always well pat
ronized by Athenian playgoers.
One such theater, standing hard by
the historic nyssus and the fountain
of Callirrhoe, bears the name of Para
discs, and bears it with good reason,
for beautiful gardens of sweet-scented
orange trees lie around about it.
Oranges, one remembers, are the
favorite sustenance of the goods" of
Drury Lane, but the goods" of Greece,
if one may use the phrase, are more
highly favored beings. To them it
is given to pluck their fruit from the
parent stem provided the eye of the
law be not upon them), instead of hav-
ing it doled forth from the basket of a
dingy and raucous dame of forbidding
aspect. Aquarter of mile nearer the
city one comes on another summer
theater, also empowered among foil
age, in this case of pine and pepper
trees, called the garden of Orphanides,
which is generally used as a cafe
ohantant; while third, the Olympia,
is to be found near the columns of
Olympeion. The last has for some
time past been used as a circus, but
the traveller will visit it in vain for any
trace Of the ancient Olympian games
or the medieval hippodrome of Con-
statinople. He will find only mod
ern circus of the type familiar to west
ern Europe, lightly clad ladies, affable
ringnlaster, clown, and all.-Macmil-
lan's Magazine.

The Perfect Candor of the Unsophisti-
Gated Child of Nature.

Gated Child of Nature.
The unsophisticated child of ma
ture differs from his brother of civ
ilization mainly in possessing perfect
candor. Ignorance of polite usages
leads him to speak his mind freely.
A johannesburg correspondent tells
good story of Kafir simplicity, which
shows that while customs differ, hui
man nature is much the same the
world over. In civilized countries a
wedding invitation is taken to mean
polite demand for present, but the
Kaffir takes no chances. The CORE
spondent says: GA friend of mine in
Pretoria has just received the follow
ing letter from a boy formerly in
his service: Port Elizabeth, Septem-
Der 10, 1S97.-R ESQ.,
Sir: I hereby let you know that am
going to get married in November

pecting gifts from you, sir, as you be

4 Parable from Life-The Course of Real

4 Parable from Life-The Course of Real
Romance.
A boy and girl played by the road
side. They were plucking the wild
flowers, still sweet and heavy with the
dews of the morning. 1t was spring;
the hills were green; there was music
in the forest; the sky was clear and
serene.
81 love you," smiled the boy, as he
gave her the violets he had gathered.
'1 am glad you love me-" she said.
Methinks that mist swan before
my eyes, and when it grew clear once
more [ saw Love and Death standing
close to the boy and the girl. Death
moved impatiently.
''Let them be-" said Love, "they are
mine"
A youth and maiden leaned on the
stile In the meadow. Her eyes were
downcast, vet in his hand hers passive
lay. 1t was summer; the golden
grains swayed restlessly to the breath
ing of the wanton breezes; the harvest
moon rose round and yellow, frosting
the purpling hills in the east.
81 love you'll" whispered the youth.
The maiden spoke not, but raised
the timid lids of her eyes and gazed
into his. Her lips were mute, but
there is language of the eyes which
lovers can read. He drew her fair face
to his own and kissed her mute lips
and speaking eyes.
Again I saw Love and Death.
81 have waited long," said Death,
impatiently.
''Let them be-" said Love, "they
are mine"
The brown leaves of autumn fut-
tered and rustled; from the gaunt for
est, where song no longer awakened
the dim echoes, they came, whirling
over the stubble-felds, whispering to
the lonely earth that the glory of the
year was dead.
An old man and old woman came
slowly down the lane. Their thin
locks were as white as the feecy
clouds overhead; their faces were as
withered as the apples that lay for
gotten in the orchard.
cit was here" said the old man,
pointing to the roadside, chat we
used to pluck the wild flowers in the
spring"
cit was here" said the old woman,
pointing to the stile, chat you told
me you loved me. Let us sit upon it
again"
So they sat there in silence, look
ing into each others eyes, knowing
that the love which shone from their
peaceful deeps was as pure and fresh
as in the glorious golden days.
cit is good to have lived and loved, .
said the,eld,man.
.."Yes; as we have DONE" she added.
81 shall not wait any longer" said
|. Death, grimly.
f.Let them be-" said Love; 'they
are mine!"
The SHOWS fell noiselessly on two
new graves; the winter winds brawled
through the treetops.
"Now," cried Death, exultingly,
''where is your vaunted life? They
are minep'
'FVainest of creaturesp said Love,
''dost thou think such as these care for
thy grubbing worms? Thou has fol
lowed me all these years to no purpose.
Take man and woman to the grave if
thou wilt, and give their bodies to
| thy worms and sad decay; but there
thy task endeth. But II am beyond
| the grave, for I rule not over the clay,
as thou dost, but over the Soul! For
| /, Love, am the SOUL"
And Death stood beside the graves
as Love passed beyond into a light
more brilliant and dazzling than the
light of a thousand suns!-Harold
