On the one hand, he was so unassuming

speaking Of him as companion, can
safely say that one would never have
known that Dickens was an author
from his conversation. l mean that he
never discussed himself with you;
WHILE on the other hand, / have often
since wondered at the wonderful inter

conversation Of us younger men.

ties as If they were the choicest witt

Free Rural Mail Delivery.


AS result of the universal agitation
of the matter by the agricultural press
and people, provisions for a rural mail
service is about to be effected. While
IL will take some time to make this sys-
TEN a universal thing over the entire
country, still, when once started, ii
will move pretty rapidly. for the rea-
son that 1t will be very popular, not
only with the people who reside in the
country, but with those who live in
towns as well. From an educational
standpoint IL will be very beneficial,
MS IL will place the residents on an
equal footing with the residents of
cities so far as getting the daily news
as II comes from the press.
Appropriations to the amount Of
100000 were provided for the ensu-
ing year, and the system Is being tried
In several States. The Western head
quarters are located at indianapolis.
and the system will be introduced into
that State. The expense will be very
heavy for this service, and II is well to
remember that all of II must be paid
for by the people themselves. 1t Is
likely that after the system has been
once fully developed and gotten into
working order 1t will about pay its own
way through the extra amount OF let

Bran for Cows Mt Pasture.

Though cows at pasture will not eat
grain or meat, they will come to such
feed readily as soon as pastures fail.
We believe they will never refuse a
bran mash made with hot water and
with pinch Of salt put in to flavor 1t.
This is probably the best way TO give
cows salt. Mixed with their feed they
will chew the food more thoroughly
when 1t is brought up in the cud and
mix more saliva with it. The bran Is
especially beneficial to increase milk
yield, as 1t furnishes the heterogeneous
and mineral elements that grass and
corn fodder are usually deficient in.
The only danger in feeding bran is
that it may so increase the milk yield
as to make the COW become thin. This
evil may be prevented by adding some
corn and oat meal to the bran when It
Is made into a mash.

The Shekel Earned.

That which we work for and win by
earnest effort Is doubly our own and
carries with it its wisdom. Thus a
man who inherits fortune seldom puts
1t to the best or wisest uses. In order
to learn the wise and beneficent use of
money one must have toiled for 1t coin
by coin, must have some time suffered
the want Of 1t. A man born with q
golden spoon in his mouth never tastes
either pain or happiness as these are
known to the common man. He has
not felt the great danger of desire
which gives to fulfillments its exquisite
flavor. Not having struggled in the
fight, he knows nothing of the joy OF
victory.-Woman's Home Companion.

The Indianapolis correspondent for a
trade paper reports that there has not
been year since 1892 when the out
look for fall and winter business in
that section along all lines has been as
fiatterlng as II Is now. Jobbers are
confidently expecting to see the record
of 1892 passed before the season closes.
1t is stated that there is healthy bus
mess confidence among all classes
which fully justifies the placing Of
large orders. Anticipating a rise in
prices, early buyers have stocked up
heavily In order to take advantage Of
market conditions, and jobbers have
laid in large supplies.
And yet Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Belmont
profess to think that the people Of the
country are laboring under heavy bur-
dens. If these laxative gentlemen
would give their tongues and their pens

state of affairs In the country they
would perhaps realize the folly and the

The first mentioned iron pipe, run

tube runs down into a vessel filled with

the air is compressed in the cylinder

movements of the pumps piston to

Kerosene for Poultry.

The many uses that Kerosene may be
put TO In the poultry yard make it al
most an indispensable article to be
charged to the expense account; and no
other article will enhance the profits
of the poultry yards as kerosene dill
gently and intelligently used. For paint
ing the inside Of nest boxes for setting
hens there is nothing equal to It., as
1t surely kills all vermin with which
1t comes in contact and prevents other
vermin from entering the nest until
1t Is entirely evaporated, which, If the
crude oil is used, will give the hen am
pie time to hatch her brood. A few
drops in the drinking water occasional
ly has good effect upon the general
health of the flock, and for colds or
roup there is nothing better If carefully
applied. Scaly legs may be cured by
simply wetting the legs of the fowl af-
fected occasionally, and the crude oil
Is best in this case also, as it tai1es
much longer time to evaporate.
When the crude oil Is not readily OBJ
tanned some kind Of heavy oil or grease
should be mixed with the kerosene to
stay evaporation. AS remedy for
cholera It has been highly recon-
mended.-Fancier's Review.

burn, from Henry Watterson and from
others. Tt Is plain that, apart from GER
tain retraction and fine, hearty crow

the Chicago platform for 1900, and for
the regular machine, however, sadly It
may have dislocated. Harmony, long

He stands there in the trackless chap

his inspiration by day. The winds pass
by unheeded. His shirt front breasts
the elements undismayed. The thrill

Of Blackburn, the resoundjng bray Of
Watterson, the shrill pipe Of Altgeld@d
all these noises, borne upon the bosom
Of the wind, float past him unregarded

taking as much as possible from the
land without returning an equivalent.
This IL more injurious to the tenant
than to the owner, especially II the
tenant rents the farm for longer perl
cd than one year. The farm Is the
workshop and the more material the
tenant can convert into a marketable
product the more he will gain by the
transaction. IL field produces forty
bushels of corn per acre and the rise
of fertilizers will increase the yield
to sixty bushels the increased yield
may not only pay the rent, but give a
larger profit than would be derived
from forty bushels. dItis the labor that
Is costly, and 1t takes as much work
to get forty bushels of corn as 1t does
for sixty. The rule with renters
should be to secure as much as possible
for the labor bestowed rather than for
the rent incurred. If the farm Is poor
and the renter adds nothing thereto he
may lose both the rent and the profit
