Was Told who His Wife Would Be.

How the Chinese minister at Washing
ton. Whiting Fang. secured, when a
young man and about to be married, the
unusual privilege of seeing, before the
wedding day, the girl who was to be his
wife was told by him to several friends
a few days ago, relates the Saturday
Evening Post.
''In China cur young men do not select
wives for themselves, but leave it to their
parents" said he.
I'VE know that our parents want us
to be happy, and we are willing to let
them judge who will MAKE a good wife.
The young man is never permitted to see,
before the ceremony, the one whom he is
to marry.
1--WE have few unhappy marriages in
China, and perhaps that is because we
do not spend all the affection before mar
riage, as it seems to me the young peo-
pie in America sometimes do.
Il was very anxious to see the girl my
parents had chosen for me, but they told
terview or even a formal meeting, and
that | could not even see her. But after
L had begged very hard they finally con-
scented to let me have one look at her, and
the permission overjoyed me.
so one day [ sat by window behind
a blind which entirely hid me. After
waiting a long time three young women
came down the street, and | was told
that one Of them was to be my future
wife.
But which one? Which one is she?
[ demanded eagerly, and when [ was
told that it was the one on the outside
l looked at her harder and with greater
delight than [ ever looked at anything
else either before or since"
The minister was silent for few mo-
ments, and his mind was evidently busy
with the pleasant past. Then ne said
with a half-chuckle:
what / was curious to know, but
couldn't find out. was whether the future
Mrs. WI knew | was looking at her. Oh
it was entirely contrary to Chinese Ell
entirey-but [ shall never forget
how happy | felt as my bride-to-be came
so prettily up the street,

The woodwork Of the stairs Kissed and

One Farmers Share,


The st. Louis Globe-Democrat tells
Of farmer in Nebraska who bought
1000 sheep in Cleveland's time at 1926
a head and who has sold them in these
prosperous days Of Mckinley and pro
lection at $4.35 head, the total amount
received being $500, and the profit
$4,000. This may or may not have been
this farmers share" of Mckinley
prosperity, according to the Bryan way
of reckoning, but it is a profit we'll
worth making and is about SIS, 700 more
than the farmer would have received
for his sheep if Bryan had been elected
four years ago and the Cleveland policy
Of free wool continued. The sum OF
$500 is a long way better than moth
ing, and to that Nebraska farmer the
election Of Mckinley was just as much
better than the election Of Bryan as
$500 is better than nothing. That
ought, as it doubtless will be, enough
to secure his vote for Mckinley, with
out any fine figuring rs to whether he
had his full share of prosperity or not.
One thing is sure, and that is that he
got a far fuller measure of prosperity
than ne would ever get under free
trade.

and invested it in four and half kegs
of nails. This year he takes the same
amount of wool to the market and is
able to buy nine kegs of nails.
This class of calamity howlers, who
invariably leave their farming imple-
ments out to the weather, in some fence
corner, always have Il stock Of old iron
on hand; in 1896 there was no market
for such stuff. Now they can ship say
400 pounds of this stuff and get enough
money to buy their key of nails with.
Three years ago the farmer shipped
his 3-year-old, 1,O00-pound steer to the
market and received 500 so for it; this
year he has done the same, but he has
received $50 for it. Now in 90 he took
his $50, and by adding $3.50 to the pile,
he was enabled to buy LOGO pounds OF
wire. This year he buys the same
amount of wire, but instead Of going
down into his pocket, and reducing his
eXchequer $3.50, why, he adds s. to his
wealth.
In 1896 these same fellows said: eff
we can get a good paying market for
our products we can afford to pay good
prices for what we buy" How is it
NOW with these same empty box states
men? Now they are getting just the re-
verse-kicking because prices have adj
vanced. Verify, these fellows are hard
to please.

your brains

PRICES TO FARMERS.
They Can Buy More with Produce

than Ever.
Republican farmer came TO town
with seventy bushels OF oats. He got
$1,000 for the load We asked him if
that was prosperity for him. He said
it was sound money and that was all he
wanted. The man wanted enough wire
TO put two wires on one side of his quar-
ter. He went to Hutton's and figured
on wire. He got wire last year at 212
cents a pound and was mad when he
had to pay 49, cents this year for the
same kind Of wire. The wire cost $14.
The man gave the seventy bushels of
oats and $4.30 for the wire. Last year
seventy bushels Of oats bought the same
amount OF wire and the farmer had $40
left. The money is very sound when it
buys farm products. Splendid money
then. Takes lots of oats and wheat to
get little OF it. The same money is net
as good and sound when it buys manu-
featured goods. Takes lots of money to
get a little wire and a few nails.--He-
bron, Neb., Champion.
Just such stuff as this is sent out by
this class Of journals with the sole OBJ
ject OF deceiving their readers. Why
don't they take up the price list Of 1896
and compare them with those of the
past or present year. In 1896 the farm
er took his load of corn of twenty five
bushels to the market and received the
magnificent sum of 1926 for ii. He
can take the same number Of bushels
Of corn 10 the market and get enough
money to buy a key Of nails with and

have some money left.
