Keen Your Boy on the Farm

No boy is likely to remain on the
farm after reaching the age when he is
entitled to regard himself as being at
his own disposal, unless farm life fur
nishes a reasonable amount of enjoy
mcnt of the good things of life, nor
will he remain if farming, as he knows
it, and as he has been taught to see it,
is failure as business and the farm
a failure as a home. What are you do
ing to keep your boy on the farm?

A Little Problem From Life.

"a kiss she said, '1s an expression
Of sentiment Placed upon the hand it
signifies respect; upon the forehead,
friendship; upon the lips, both-and
more, or neither. Since you have ask
ed it, you may express yourself in one

He hesitated.
Through respect and friendship love
may be reached. If he were too bold

into the grass and pondered swiftly.
He tried to read her mood. He would
place that one kiss upon her
He heard trill as of many birds.
He looked up.
She was whistling softly.
Her hat was pulled down to her eyes
covering her forehead, and her hands
were thrust deep into the pockets of
her jacket.

Mcxican's Curious idea of Business.

while travelling in Mexico few
years ago 1 had a funny experience
with Mexican vender which goes to
show what little business ability the
lower classes have" said E. F. Guig-
non OF st. Louis. 81 was en- route to
look at some mines away up in the
mountains At the station where we
left the train to take the stage 1 saw
an old woman selling some honey.
She did not have more than ten
pounds Of it all together, and as it
looked SO good wanted to buy it all to
take along with us. l asked our inter-
prefer to buy it. Much to my surprise
the old woman would sell him but two
boxes, claiming that if she sold it all
to him she would have nothing to sell
TO other people, neither would she
have anything else to do during the
remainder Of the day!"

I,ound to he Modest.

"If a girl wears bicycle skirt that
comes to within two inches of the tops
of her shoes there can be no question
as to her modesty, can there?" she
asked.
Certainly not" was the unsuspect-
ing reply.
Because" she went on, II am very
anxious to keep we'll within the bounds
OF modesty and propriety"
The question being thus settled, she
straightway purchased pair of bicy-
Gle button boots that reached to her
knee.

SHAVED JESSE JAMES.
Tho Outlaw Kept Guard with Two Cooked


Revolvers.
Il shaved Jesse James, the once
noted outlaw, down in southern Ken
tuclly long time ago." said an old,
gray-haired fellow on the train the
other day, when the mans life wasn't
worth a penny. Jesse rushed into my
little country place, down in the Red
River country, one day in the latter
part of December, and asked me if |
wouldn't shave him while he looked
after his Colts revolvers and watched
the door. l was not barber by trade,
but those persuaders had induced me
to try my hand with new Wade &
Butcher razor l took out of my show
case. AS / shaved, the man of iron
nerve sat with cooked pistol In each
hand and told me in a few hurried
words that posse was pursuing him,
bent On capturing him dead or alive,
on the charge of robbing bank at
Russellyille, crime, he averred, of
which he was not guilty. He wanted
his beard shaved off that he might fool
his pursuers if they should happen to
catch up with him. / finished the job
of scraping. The much-wanted indi-
vidual thanked me, and, mounting a
horse, which had been hitched in the
rear of my store, bade me good evening
and rode away. didn't know for GER
tain who my visitor was, although l
suspected it, until the next day. when !
heard that man in the neighborhood
was telling that he had seen the elder
James the afternoon before. l sup
pose that was the last shave Jesse
James got in Kentucky, and 1 have
never seen him SINCE"

An Animated Pnner Cntter.

This is a pretty story Of an intelli-
gently trained elephant. Such pa
per cutter must, however, be an expen-
sive adjunct to the library. An ele-
phant cannot be boarded for less than
SO day. When Lord Dufferin was
Viceroy of India, he was visited by the
Rajah Of Holkar, who saw the Viceroy
take up some illustrated London papers
which had just arrived by mail and
cut them with an ivory paper knife.
1t was the first time the Indian Prince
had seen such an instrument used.
Make me present of that" he said
to the Viceroy, "and 1 will give you
another" Lord Dufferin hastened to
comply with this modest request, and
the young Rajah returned to his coun-
try. Not long after he returned to
calcutta, bringing with him a young
elephant, whose tusks had been carved
in the most artistic manner In the
shape of a paper knife. This he
brought as present to the Viceroy.
A table bearing some illustrated papers
was brought by servant before this
intelligent beast, who Immediately
seized them with his trunk, cut them
most deftly with his tusks and then
handed them to the Viceroy.

Tyrole,e wedding Kerohier,.

When a young maiden is about to be
married in the Welsch Tyrol, immedi-
ately before she steps across the
threshold of her own home, on her way
to the church, her mother solemnly
gives her a new pocket handkerchief.
The bride holds 1t in her hand thr uga-
out the marriage ceremony, rsing it
to wipe away her tears. rs soon as
the marriage festivities are over, the
young wife lays the handkerchief away
in her. linen closet, and there it re-
mains as long as she lives. Nothing
could induce a Tyrolese wife to use
this sacred handkerchief. 1t may be
half a century or longer before it is Ia
ken from its place to fulfill the second
and last part of its mission. When
the wife dies, perhaps as gray old
grandmother, the loving hands of the
next of kin place the bridal handker-
chief over the face OF the dead, and II
Is buried wish he: IN the grave.

Out of Their Rations.

The Indian agents in Oklahoma are
having some trouble keeping the lit
tie black-haired, brown-skinned boys
and girls belonging to their reserva-
tions in school. Out Of sheer, un-
mixed timidity, these Indian children
refuse to attend the government
schools which have been, and are be-
ing maintained at great cost in order
that they may grow into civilized and
educated men and women and take
their places beside their white broth
ers and sisters with whom they must
soon come in competition in all the
walks Of life. Major Woodson, agent
for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe In
dams, has luen out in nearly all the
Indian camps in southern and west
ern Oklahoma rounding up these
truant children and compelling them
to attend school. The parents. Of
these fullblood children of the forest
use every subterfuge to keep their lit
tie ones away from the schools very
much preferring to have them remain
with them in their tepees and grow
up wild and ignorant.
Woodson has within the last few
days resorted to what would seem
downright cruelty to compel them to
go to school. He has instructed the
farmers at all the sub-agencies to cut
of all rations to those who do not see
to it that their offsprings are in their
places in the schools.

In advance with the advertising cars,
etc and several women. The
show is just too stupen-
dous for a person TO see all in one per-
performance, as there are sometimes
dozen acts Of one kind and another
going on in the arena at the same
time.
A reporter took stroll through all
the tents this morning, In company
with w. H. VanCleye, the press rep
resentatiye, aud picked up
considerable information about
the manner Of conducting the details
Of a big show. The secret Of 'set-
ting up" giving two performances

miles, is thorough organization when
every man has reformed his allotted
task, everything is done.
The first thing to be unloaded is
the kitchen, and as soon In the morn

horn is blown and instantly work
ceases and the canvas, stable men and

ter take breakfast and supper in the |

The food is all inviting and nicely
served, creamery butter being one
item which was placed on the table in
ample quantities. The table was set,
for the laborers, In granite iron ware
and as clean as soap and water could
make 1t.
The equipment includes tailors and
blacksmiths, wagon
makers, harness makers and mechan-
les Of all kinds.
The show also carries detective,
Johnny Ryan, who is pretty apt to
know all the thieves who may '.show
up" and If need be they are passed
over to the town or city authorities
and locked up, as suspicious charac-
5ers, until the circus is gone. Two
veterinary surgeons are also employed,
ind their services are very much in
iemand.

OF serious nature have also been inflicted
upon the child back The case is one to

Fortunately, our law constructs the child

parents and will not permit such practices
to go unpublished.
