it hard, as did, to owe it to one of
them" -Cornhill Magazine.

POOR KITCHENS

The place where the goodwife spends
most of her time and does most of her
work is in the Kitchen 1t all too often
happens that this kitchen is the most
poorly furnished and worst ventilated
and arranged room in the house. This
is poor way Of doing. This room
should be well equipped with all mod
ern utensils, should be bright and
sunshiny room. should have sink
and water supply and good hard
wood floor. Some foolish people put
all their money into the furnishings Of
the best parlor and the company bed
room, which are not used once a
month, while the wife and mother
slaves along day after day in a little,
cramped up. inconveniently arranged
kitchen and plaintively sings the old
refrain, There's Rest For the Weary"
Use the best there is In the home for
your daily life and let the company
take pot luck when it comes. What is
good enough for you is good enough for
your friends.

He Got the Gun.

Several years ago Colonel Jack Chinn
visited Texas. He brought with him
negro valet, Sam. This negro had
been slave in the Chinn family be-
fore the war began in the states and
idolized his young master. One night
while in Houston the darby came to
Chinn and said:
'Massa Jack, I'ze goin out in cullud
society heah tonight an I'd like to Dor
row dat ivory handled six shooter of
yours to take along"
"Why, you black rascal" returned
the colonel, "some of these Houston
coons will take that gun away from
you and break it over your headr'
The darby Strengthened up. Like his
master, he was a man Of unquestioned
nerve, and there was peculiar glitter
in his eye as he said:
"Massa Jack, you let me hab dat gun,
an if I don't show up heah wild hit IN
de mawnin you can go down to de
morgue an throw down de sheet an
say, 'Lawd, don't he look nacherlps" IS
Colonel Chinn's body servant was
that night armed in a manner that en-
titled him to move in the best circles

AN OLD EooL.

We know of a man who last year fin
ished paying for $40 acres Of choice
farm land. 1t had been long pull
and a hard pull both for him, his wife
and two boys. Up early and late, pinch
ing, saving and each member denying
himself that the farm might be
cleared of the mortgage. And when 1T
was cleared how good they all felt, and
mother and the boys thought and said
that now there would be little com
fort in living. But this man-this old
fool = inside Of 60 days went and
bought another 16O acres which he
long had had his eye upon, running in
to debt for nearly all the purchase
price Of it. His good wife cried, and
we don't blame her; the boys got mad
and swore that they would leave the
farm the first chance they had. There
is lot of this sort of fool business go
ing on. Men don't know when they are
well off. What a farce life becomes
when a man will deliberately make a
slave Of himself and mere poems Of his
wife and children all In order that
when his estate is administered upon
by the probate court he may be able to
show up $4,000 instead of $4,000.
No man who wishes to enjoy life
should want more than 24O acres of
land.

the building is very much smaller, and
the material is white marble and Mex

done by European artists Of reputa-

away from amusement centers that the
only regular performances are by an

THE BEST OPENING FOR THE
YOUNG MAN.

You are young man who has spent
all your life up to this time upon the
farm, and you are now nearly 20 years
old and are doing a good deal Of hard
thinking about your future. You have
a notion that there is something better
for you In the old world than the grow
Ing of crops and the milking of cows
and would like to see something Of the
ways of the world as it is off the farm.
Lots just like you, my boy, and they
60 from the farm by the thousand year
by year, and some become little one
horse attorneys and parsons and some
book agents and medicine peddlers and
some Sc week jumping jacks in dry
goods stores and some worthless town
loafers and some wandering, homeless
tramps. Many make a good fight for
place and position, only to be swamped
in midlife by the merciless power Of
modern competition in all lines of busi-
ness, and the few, the very few, by vir
tue of opportunity, pluck and pull,
climb high on fortunes ladder and are
held up to an admiring world as Illus
trations of what the country boy can
do when he leaves the farm. Now,
listen, my boy. The time is coming
and is pretty nearly here now when
the man who owns piece of land and
knows how to work 1t in an intelligent
manner is going to have the whip row
over all the peddlers, parsons, doctors,
lawyers, clerks and genteel loafers In
the land. Land ownership is the con-
crete foundation of European aristocra-
cy and all that is best in foreign civili-
cation. Science is smiling most kindly
on agriculture. Unlimited possible
| ties await the man who has studied
natures textbooks. The best intel
lectual development is uniting with the
hand hardened and Drowned by farm
work. All that is best in man may
now be evolved under rural conditions.
Invention has, greatly modified the
drudgery Of farm toll without In any
degree impairing agricultural indie
pendence. Suppose, my boy. you now
decide to be first class modern farm
er, man we'll posted on the technical
as well as the practical side of your
business, a raiser of the best crops, a
breeder of the bestsstocl, an up to date
man in your profession, which you
can easily do if you will apply your
self to the doing of it with the same
persistency and diligence which you
would have to devote TO, any, outside
profession if you would make a success
of it. 1t is absolutely true that agricul.
ture SO undertaken Offers today a far
more certain reward in both financial
and man developing way than any 9TH
er vocation open to the young man.
