THE BEAUTIES OF FARM LIFE


The man who doesn't live on a
farm at present is missing a great
deal. Unless he has arisen at 4 a.
m. to milk a miscellaneous assort-
ment Of cows and curry a few horses
and then, after a hurried breakfast,
gone forth to frolic in the new-lnown
hay or catch the ripe fragrance of the
golden grain, he cannot say that he
knows anything about the glad and
free life Of the country.
At 5 a. N. a forkful Of timothy
hay weighs fifteen pounds, and the
hay rack is less than five feet above
the ground. At s a. m. the amount
Of hay which can be gathered with an
ordinary three-tined fork weighs sew
enty-fiVe pounds and must be lifted
fourteen feet. At II 80 the weight
of the hay is 200 pounds or there
abouts; distance, thirty feet.
It is likewise true that sheaf of
oats containing several stalks Of wild
mustard and large thistle and so
mussed up in the binding that you
cannot find the twine and have to
pull it along by the loose tops, just
as you would drag a man by the hair
OF his head, weighs no more than
twelve pounds, but after 1000 sheayes
have been handled the average weight
is eighty-fve pounds.
Let US suppose that the farmland
gets to the field at 5 O'Clock in the
morning. He follows the self-binder
around the field and stunlbles through
the rough stubble and begins to bake
under the morning SUN and complain
because the tall hedge cuts off the
only breath OF air.. and finally when
he has that empty feeling and APP
proaehes a sheaf Of oats IN a slow,
humpedoyer and weary manner, and
takes drink Of water every fourth
shock, he yells to the man on the self
binder and wants TO know what time
it is.
The man on the machine consults
silver watch which is fastened BIZ a
leather strap TO d cast-iron button on
his never-rip oyeralls, and then he
shouts back: "Wel, it's purity late
it s twenty-five minutes past eight. :
Could anything be more chearings
The sturdy yeoman knows that IN
three and one-haH hours he viii stop
long enough to get something to eat.
1t seems 70 him that he has spent 4
lifetime IN the field already that
morning. et he may joliy himself
with the rejection that IA Chicago y
great niang people are illst getting"

A minister in Nebraska Was in the
habit OF saying to his family and to his
church: "Friends, you need not take
any Unusual care Of your lives; the mo-
ment OF your death WIS written before
the foundation OF the world. anu you
cannot alter it,"
His wife observed W hen he left on Sat
urday to meet one OF his frontier mis-
sioDary engagements that he dressed the
flint of his rife with unusual care, put in
dry powder, fresh tow, and took every
pains to make sure that the gun would
go of in case he came upon an ludian. 1t
struck her one day as she saw him IN the
saddle, with his rife on his shoulder, that
his conduct contradicted his teachings,
and she said 10 him.
My dear, why do you take this rifle
with you? II 1t was written before The
foundation Of the world that you were 10
be killed during this trip by All Indian,
that rifle rs ont prevent it; and il you are
not to be killed, OF course the rifle is un
necessary, 50 Why take it with you at
sli?"
Yes, he replied, ITO be sure, my dear,
OF course you are all very right, aud thai

dear-noM -resil y-but then, you s-e. my

WHAT IT INDICATES.

Nothing so interferes with ones plans
or ambition like sickness or poor health.
Have you ever thought that your kidneys
may be the cause Of your sickness? You
can easily find out by setting aside your
urine for twenty-four hours; a sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy con-
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence Of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in
the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out OF o der.
1t is a source OF comfort to know that
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great
remedy for all kidney and bladder COM
plants. 1t relieves pain, stitch or dull
aching in the back, difficult or painful
urination, frequent desire to urinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many times
during the night. The mild and ex-
traordinary effect of Swamp Root is
soon realized. Its action is gentle,
vet immediate, the relief speedy and
the cures permanent. AT druggists,
fifty cents and one dollar. You may have
a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent
free by mail. Mention THE ELLSWORTH
AMERICAN, and send your address to Dr.
Kilmer d Co., Binghamton, n. Y. The
proprietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.

THE PICTURE.

There is n picture IN ny room
No ran -er eyes shall ever sce,
Fit food for milth TO them perhaps
A holy thing to me.
She labored in a barren land,
Earren of hills or river saore,
Barren of woods or prairie sweep,
Small things about her door.
Her face was brown with sun and toll.
Fer eyes were truthful, .eady SIay.
Her hands were firm and fixed to work
Through all the changeless day.
Between tie tasks she painted it
A child's CHEAP PAINT box all she had
The drawing, color. you would say.
Absurdly. wholly bad.
But she who held the wretched brush
In hands but used to WELD broom
Put all her starving soul IN this,
Her love of bird and bloom.
She saw a faint gold. sunset sky
That gloritied the broodlng hills
Size saw the llver still with hight
Like soul Gods presence fills.
Size saw the birds fit silently
HoMeward against that tender light.
She felt the fragrance of the rose
Before the dew of night.
Deep feelings made her heart grow great
Grow great within her as she wrought
What if the hand that held the brush
Was rigid and untaughtY
TIE poor, pathetic, faded daub,
With the cheap tints and shaky lines,
Grows gloi ious as masterpiece
When once the eye divlnes.
l, who have tried in halting rhyme
To tell the things my soul would see,
Hang II away from scorntul eyes,
A holy ing to me.

The town was shocked Sunday morning
to hear of the sudden death of Roy c.
Blake He had been ill with grip for
several days, bat his condition was not
considered at all serious until Saturday,
" hen he disease went to his brain. The
immediate cause of his death was heart
failure. His loss will be much felt among
the young people, with whom he was
general favorte. and in the high school,
where he was pupil. The blow will be
specially severe to his father and brother
who are employed on one of the Portland
and Boston steamers. His age was eigh-
teen years and seven months.

The reported tilt between Admiral
Dewey and Admiral Won Diedrich Of the
German squadron at Manila is probably
true as the Germans have been disposed
to act a little too independently 10 a
harbor now the possession of Ameri-
cans. Won Diedrichs apology for lis
hasty words has doubtless settled the re-
~lations of the admirals and fleets on
more clearly defined lines and the Ger
mans will be more humble in the future.
The British admiral's answer to Won
D!edrich's when the latter asked him
what he would do if the Germans inter-
fered with the bomSardment Of Manila,
is also very significant He replied that
"only Admiral Dewey and himself knew
that" Johnny Bull and Bro. Jonathan
evidently understand each other in the
Pacific.
