TAKE YOUR MEDICINE.

"Some rain must fall into every life," no skies
are always clear
No eye but sometimes has to feel the dampness
of tear;
No heart is always light and glad, no cup is ever
sweet,
No lifepath always free from thorns that wound
the toiling feet,
But when the cares seem heaviest then courage
No angry clouds can be dispelled and scattered
with moan,
And when your sun is cloaked from sight re-
strain the rising curse
Just take your pill and thank the Lord it isn't
any worse.
The man who lodges in alright when trouble
Who cringes like beaten cur beneath affliction's
lash,
Whose lips are pale with mute despair, whose
head is lowly bowed,
Whose timid spirit is appalled, at every threaten
ing cloud,
Can never hope to breast the waves on life's
tempestuous sea,
Can never hope to hold his place with men more
brave than he;
So, timd mortal show your nerve, light every
reverse,
And take your pill and thank the Lord it isn't
any worse.

Are they who never faltered when confronted
Who sanded well the slip'ry track, kept rigid
upper lip,
And snickered in the face of care and never lost
their grip.
Then courage take. ye faint of heart; the clouds
will pass away,
The sunbeams of success again upon your paths

Don't sit around with scowling face, your every

SHE UPHELD HER DIGNITY.

Some of the co1ored folk are bound
to maintain their dignity. One Of
these ladies was employed by a
wealthy Louisvillian who swore by
the wholesale. Economy was no OBJ
ject to him whenit came to cuss words,
and he scattered these pearls of speech
over all subjects. The cook was a
past grand mistress of her art. She
knew what she knew and could turn
out dreams from the skillet and oven,
but she had ideas of her own dignity.

The old man is right. When you
get a good cook, grapple her to you
with hooks Of steel, even if you have
to leave off cussing.

RUNNING A HILL FARM.

An acquaintance of mine who owns
a hilly farm manages it in such way
that he gets about as large an income
from it as most men do from level
farms of equal size, writes F. Grundy
to Fam and Fl, eside. A small creek
runs across the farm, the valley along
which it flows being deep and its
sides very steep. This valley, in
Guiding the greater part of the gullies
leading into it, is fenced in and used
as a pasture for cows and sheep.
There is a fine sod over the whole,
and he keeps only sufficient stock in
the pasture to keep the grass reason
ably short. If any spot is grazed too
short or the grass is killed out, it is
heavily manured and seeded with
mixture Of redtop, blue grass and
white clover. The manure prevents
Aeelse- stock from graziug -itutee- chose
until firm sod is established.
In the deep gullies, where usually
W. see only a tangle of bush, crab ap-
pies, wild grape vines and weeds, he
hasplanted several varieties of native
and Japan plums and Moore's Early,
Concord and Niagara grape vines.
He says these deep gullies sre fit only
for brush and vines, and he sees no
reason why they should consist of
wild crabs, and wild grapes and other
trash when good fruit will answer the
purpose just as well.
Inside the pasture lie has planted
the lower part of those gullies with
ash and catalpa trees, while the sides
of the little creek are lined with these
and maple trees. In few years he
will have all the fenceposts and fire.
wood he needs. The upper level or
nearly level land he farms, growing
corn chiefly, which is fed to his stock
during the winter months.
In speaking of his methods and
practices he said to me: "I'm sort
of theoretical fellow aud have been
laughed at a great deal by some of
my neighbors on account of my no.
tons about planting trees and man
aging the hillsides and gullies on my
farm, but I've paid no attention to
their fun, though 1 must confess that
did feel little silly when I cleared
out that gully near the house and
planted it to plums, Siberian crabs
and grapevines also when I planted
those trees along either side of the
creek. see now that it was the right
thing to do, and I am getting lots of
fruit from those gullies, while l am
now getting enough posts from my
timber paintings to keep my pasture
fences up. 1 may be AN odd genius,
as some call me, but I am making a
good living and something more off
this ragged So, and 1 IN not working
myself to>death either
If any person imagines for mo-
ment that the netRods of this "odd
affn gffnipsnl1e liz snetae aFe - 5lgFee4shlnes, lgee
the farms up sr. down the creek.
The hillsides on these are seemed
with deep gullies and utterly bare of
vegetation, while the ravines are wild
tangles of worthless briers, vines and
weeds. The owners are trying to
scratch living from the upland and
wishing somebody would come along
and buy them out. They do not
seem to care to follow the example of
their little neighbor. Why? Because
he's merely an "odd genius p
