CHARM OF FARM LIFE.
where Home Ties Are strong.
est aad PuresA

No ono pretends thas farmers are
making money rapidly; they have their
vexations and discouragements AZ do
others, but they have several things to
be very thankful for. They have good
homes in nearly every case, plenty Of
wholesome food and decent clothes.
They are not under the eye of the task
master. nor working under great nerv.
Gus strain. with every minute lost from
work counted against them when pay
day comes. They need not. in the Ian.
guage Of the shops, "be afraid OF their
.obs;" they are working for themselves
and are sure Of their pay even II II is
not us large as they might wish II to be.
The man who looks upon his farm as
machine from which dollars only arc to
be made, and does not value any others
Of the numberless blessings II gives
him, will never cease to talk about hard
times. 1t is not alone for the money II
will produce that the farm should be
priced. It should be valued because 1t
brings men and women near to ma
lures heart and their children grow up
strong and stalwart, ready TO meet the
trials of life with bodies strong enough
to perform every task. The farm is
preeminently the stronghold OF the
home; ii is the place where home ties
are strongest and where life is at its
best.
The average farmer and his family
live better in every way, have better
food, better clothes and better social
surroundings than does the family Of
the man who lives in city on salnTy
of 81 600 year. The progressive farm
er of to-day lives in style that is not
equaled by the city man who earns 81
600 a year. The farmer of to-day has
frequent mails, an abundance of litera-
ture, good facilities for travel, and is
able TO enjoy more of the comforts of
life than the man in any other calling
in life. If he looks at his farm from
this point of view he will value bis farm
at its true worth. and be contented. and
contentment is better than great riches.
II farmers would remember that they
see but the outside show and glitter of
city life and could see the darker side.
very few of them would be willing 10
exchange with the city man. The edn-
Gated farmer of to-day is the social peer
of any man, while money is almost the
sole criterion of social worth in the
city. As between the two the farmer
holds every vantage point.-Farmers

Some time ago there was printed in
the sensational press an extraordinary
statement credited to the tongue of
General Hale, in which he was said to
have harshly and bitterly criticised
General E. S. Otis and his management
of the campaign in the Philippines.
General Hale has now arrived home
from, the Orient and takes the first op-
portunity to fatty deny the story. He
declares that he never criticised Cen
eral Otis or the conduct of the war.
Thus another anti-expansion lie is
nailed to the post. Off of the same
piece was the infamous story concern
ing the British Commander St John,
who is SO stirred up about the yarn
that he ridiculed General Otis and pro-
nounced him an incompetent, and the
American army in the Philippines an
undisciplined mob, that he has retained
counsel and ordered legal investiga-
ton to ascertain who is responsible for
the infamy. 1t is safe to discount all
anti-expansionist yarns. The enemies
of the American Government are very
Industrious In concocting these SLAM
ders, but the truth will prevail and
libel and falsehood be confounded.

RESPECT FOR US.

When Admiral Dewey entered the
crescent shaped harbor Of Trieste the
other day on the Olympia, the United
States flag was thrown to the breeze
from the summit flag staff of the Gov
ernment building, the first time in all
history that the Stars and Stripes ever
floated over a public building Of. that
historic old city. So much for the re-
spect and admiration the United States
of America has inspired among the
people Of the Old World. 1t was not
very long ago before in that same har-
Dor of Trieste and in other European
ports American citizens were snubbed
by the petty customs officers, and the
Americans in the commonest affairs
of business sought the British Consul
and claimed their good offices rather
than those of the American representa-
tives, because Americans were held in
such contempt that they were invaria-
bly, relegated to the back rows, and had
to dance attendance at the pleasure OF
the cheapest Trieste officials. Ability
to fight does somehow command a
world of respect among men every
where
