Mark Hanna's Witty Story.

When Mark Hanna spoke at Youngs-
town, Ohio, on Saturday, he said that
national prosperity was the whole is
sue in the present campaign. He went
on to say: Nov it is a game of poll
tics only to inject into this campaign
only those issues that are simply col
lateral. [ cannot better illustrate the
fact in warning you against these false
issues than to tell you little story that
l heard the other day. 1t was told of
a country boy who was driving home
his cow and calf from pasture. They
encountered steer on the road, and
the calf followed the steer and left its
mother. The boy started to run after
the calf to bring it back, but they both
ran from him, and after eXhauSting
himself he stopped in the middle Of the
road and shaking his little fist at the
runaway calf, cried: "You little fool
you little fool, you little darn fool, you
will be sorry when supper time comes. )"
Now, | say my friends and when [
say my friends, the workingmen, l
mean it, every word of i'll say my
friends, who are working in these mills
not only in the MahOning valley, but
all over the state of Ohio, don't follow
the steer: ifyOu doyOu will be sorry
when supper time comes.

SHOULD GET HIM A WIFE.

A friend of ours, nice young fellow
% years old, is trying to run his farm
on the bachelor plan. He tells us that
he does not want to get married until
he gets things in better shape on his
farm. We think that he is making a
big mistake. A good wife would be Of
great help to him during these hard
years while he is trying to pay OFF the
mortgage and get on his feet financial
ly. The right sort Of woman would
delight to do her part in tightening the
burden which lie carries and In a hun
dred ways would be of assistance to
him. A wife who would not be willing
to aid her husband in laying the foun-
dations of future success on the farm
would not be the sort of wife man
would want to help him run the farm
after he became Independent. 1t is q
pretty hard sort of life to have to
work in the fields all day and come
home at night and have to make slap
Jacks for supper and crawl into man
made bed for nights rest. If we
were in our friends place, we would
take day off along toward the last Of
the corn picking and have little quiet
wedding and begin to enjoy life as the
winter comes on. 1t will cost him less
to keep wife than to live as he does,
and he will thus make some nice girl
happy and be more of man himself.
Try 1t, all you old bachelors.

DO YOU WANT THIS AGAIN7
How Things Were with the Army of
the Unemployed in Demo-
cratic Times.

[From the Chicago Inter Ocean, Dec 9, 1881
That contingent of "the army of
the unemployed" which has found
shelter for a few nights in the corri-
doris of the city hall returned to its
old quarters again last night, bring
ing along many recruits.
The night before 40 or more of the
dodgers thought to regale themselves
with sandwiches, but were set upon
by their less fortunate and famish-
ing comrades, and dread riot" was
precipitated which called forth police
officers to quell it. Notwithstanding
this ruction, the chilled and starving
applicant was not refused lodging
room last night. He came up to po-
lice headquarters obviously, but was
admitted.
At ten o'clock the long first-foor
corridor from Washington to Ran
dolph street was covered with men
and boys, fast asleep on the cold,
damp pavement. Men We're half-re-
Ginning on the stairways, and the poor
wretches on the floor had others
standing over and about them, en-
vious of the place upon which they
lay, crampeo, drawn up, and crowded
by others who shared their misera-
BILE bed

WAYS THAT ARE DARK.

The steel range peddlers work it this
way in this case: They sell their stoves
for just 500 and always want a note
and not the cash. They go to the
most responsible farmer in the locality,
a man with plenty of ready money and
who never gave his note for anything,
and say to him: Here, we want the
Endorsement by you Of our stoves, and
we will sell you 500 article for $25,
conditioned that you give us your note
for it, we paying you in cash the diff
ference-$44." OF course he bites at
this bargain, and they get his note and
use it as lever all over the commu-
nifty to get others to bite. They have
other schemes. 1t is always safe to
question the validity of an indorse-
ment of any new thing by the leading
man of q community until you have in
vestigated the manner in which such
Endorsement was obtained

A DAY IN THE WOODS.

A day spent in the October woods, If
it is one of October's best days, is
treat-the smell of the fragrant and
decaying leaves, the blotches of bril-
liant color here and there on some late
falling foliage, the chatter and scam
pering Of squirrels as they gather their
winter store, scent of distant prairie
grass afire, network of gossamer
thread floating lazily in the air, the
omen Of fine weather; mellowed sun
shine like lamplight filtered through
red globe, the splash of bass as he
makes a rush for some unlucky min
now in the eddying pool Of the river
and over all serenity and peace born
Of the summers tempestuous moods,
here crow lazily tapping and cawing
overhead, there titmouse gyrating up
and down big maple tree, here a
flock Of belated robins loath to leave
the surfeit of berries and a flock of
blackbirds noisily chattering as they
mass all the stragglers for their migra-
tory trip, and, as we homeward turn as
the evening comes, the cry of the wild
fowl as they southwark fly, beacon
| light Of a burning straw pile reddening
up the horizon, and as the air grows
cold apace we see and welcome the
home lights and end day the memory
Of which will bring us pleasure as long
as we live.

DISHONEST COMMISSION MEN.

A case where q creamery, tempted by
the flattering promises of new COM
mission house in an eastern city and
further baited by higher prices for its
butter and prompter returns for a
time, was induced to leave an old and
reliable house and consgn it's product
to the new firm, only in the course Of
two months to be left to the tune of
several hundred dollars, is only repe
tition of what has taken place scores
of times and what is going on all the
time and will continue just so long as
the cupidity of men gets the better of
their good judgment. In this particu
lar case, it being cooperative con-
Germ, the patrons have to suffer the
loss incurred by the foolishness Of
their officials. When we take into ac-
count the fact that there is no phase of
ordinary business where men trust so
much to the honor of other men as
when goods are consigned to COM
mission house, the standing, good
name and established integrity of such
commission house become question
Of the very highest Importance. 1t
matters not should the old house be
little slow and not topping the market
with your consignment as you would
| like to have it do. The chances are
that the firm will get you all your stuff
is worth and honestly sells for. There
are always shrewd, sharp and unprin-
cipled scamps posing as representa-
tives of commission houses soliciting
business from the agricultural pro-
ducers Of the country. and we know Of
no form Of semilegalized swindling
which brings better returns to the OPP
orators or more certain woe to the vic
tins. 1t matters not what your con-
signment may be, whether poultry,
eggs dairy products or fruit, at least
be wise enough to consign your stuff to
a well known and reliable house.

EXTENSIVE VERSUS INTENSIVE
FARMING

When a man rents farm and in the
effort to see how many acres he can
skin over succeeds in raising crop
of 25 bushels of corn or oats to the
acre, 1t represents the poorest type Of
farming to be found, as well as the
minimum of production of which such
land is capable. Between this type of
agriculture and an intensive method
of using the land, where each acre
shall be made to produce a crop of the
value of over 500, lies the field where
agricultural education can get in it's
work. 1t will be great thing for the
interests Of agriculture when. instead
Of the cry for more land and more
acres to cover, men shall become inter-
ested in seeking how best to increase
the productiveness of the acres they
/ now have

FOR THE ENTERPRIsING.
Good Prospects for Profitable Invest
ment in the Philippine Is
lands.

A most promising field of endeavor
is being investigated by agents of
the United States department of agri-
culture in the Philippine islands. 1t
is believed that the rubber tree can
be successfully grown in the southern
islands of the archipelago. If the ex-
periments prove successful new ave-
nue. for American enterprise is open.
The country's demand for rubber is
constantly widening, the imports in
1894 being SIS, 162,333, while those in
the year ended June 80, 1900, were over
twice as much, or $31,555,4s3. The de-
mand is growing at a still greater
ratio.

THE FARMER AND THE HIRED
MAN.,

The farmer hired the man in March
to work for him eight months at SOP
per month, board and washing. 1t was
a verbal contract, as such contracts
usually are. Nothing was said about
what would happen if the man quit be-
fore his time was out There happened
to be good deal of railroad work in
the neighborhood that summer, and
the contractors found it hard to get
men. They put wages for shovelers up
to 50 per day, and along in July, just
as haying was coming on, our hired
man as he was blowing the corn be-
came uneasy and called himself fool
for working for II hours a day on the
farm for less than 81 when he could
get 50 a day for ten hours work on the
railroad. So the more he thought about
it the more he became dissatisfied, and
when the corn blowing was finished he
told his employer he was going to quit
and wanted his pay. The granger was
pleasant with him and reminded him
| that he had agreed to work for eight
months and that it was not the fair or
right thing to quit when hired men
were hard to get and the work press
ing. The man said he did not care; he
was going to quit and wanted his pay.
Then this granger told him that if he
got his pay it would be at the end of a
lawsuit and for him to sue for it just
as soon as he wanted to. The suit was
brought. The farmer put in an offset
of the extra amount he was compelled
to pay for help during the busy season,
which came to over $50 more than he
owed the man on his wages, and OBJ
/ tanned judgment against the man for
the amount. This decision was based
on good law and good sense and should
be q warning to hired men and valu-
able pointer for the men who hire
| them
