Breath is the most useful thing
in the long run.
Doctors are supposed to be
healthy because they never take
their own medicine.
Men who go to church on Sun

feminine portion Of the family.
Women waste the best part of
their lives going through the big
shops hunting for triaes.
Women never think they ask
men foolish questions.
Men have but little trouble in
being fitted for clothes.
A woman loves to draw public
attention to the sweetness of her
babies.
1t is not always wise to dis
turb a man when he is reading his
paper.
Nor to ask a fat man for any
thing when he is pulling on his
boots.
Nor to discuss business with a
man who is hungry.
A true face is more desirable
than a handsome one.
1t is foolish to be chary with
your remarks of appreciation.
Hearts are hungry for it.

they hate conyentionalities are

]. w. BURGESS.

But yesterday the grass was green,
And all the world looked gay;
But now that grass so fresh aud bright
Has all been turned to hay.
The maiden spreads the pretty Howers
Upon her new spring bonnet;
But soon twill in the attic hang
With not posey on it.
The bicycle comes smiling out
All bright, and clean, and trim;
But soon header breaks its back,
Likewise its spokes and rim.
To-day baby comes to earth
To smile, and crow, and caper;
But all too soon its little life
Is blown out like taper.
The boy secures a ball and bat,
His Joy no tongue can tell:
That bat will soon be broken,
And the ball lost in the we'll.
The editor writes little joke,
'Twont do to pigeon-hole it;
He drops it in the copy drawer
His readers say he stole it.
The preacher studies three long days
To make his sermon strong:
The critics say "Twas pretty good,
But just mile too long"
The profound lawyer goes to court
To trot legal race;
An upstart buys the jury, and
His client wins the case.
Today we shovel in the coal,
Tomorrow ashes carry;
Today the lovers gush and spoon,
Tomorrow they will marry.
Man struts about, while lofty thoughts
Go surging through his head;
Appendicitis lays him low
And next you know he's dead.
We squirt the water on our lawn
To cause the grass to grow;
Then tug the mower back and forth
That self-same grass to NOV.
The peanuts that in youth we craved
But lacked wherewith to buy;
In manhood, when we have the cash,
The nuts we dare not try.
Thus all the pleasures of this life
Cloy on our taste, and spoil;
And when we want the water cold
1t always wants to boil.
And so, for years, the thing we want
Our efforts will defy;
And when at last the prize is ours,
We're old enough TO die.

The Hunt for Errors in
Magazines.

Editorial vigilance is the only
safeguard against errors in mag
azines making. Every article
that is published,in The Ladies'
Home Journal, for instance, is
read at least four times in manu-.
script form, and sll statements of
fact verified before it goes to the
printer. Then it is read and re-
vised by the proof-readers; goes
back to the author for his revi-
sion; is re-read by the editors
three or more times, at different
stages; and again by the proof
readers possibly half a dozen
times additional. Thus each
article is read at least fifteen
and often twenty times after
leaving the authors hands until
it reaches the public eye. But
with all this unremitting vigilance
errors, of the most obvious kind
occasionally escape observation
until perhaps the final reading,
but it is rare, indeed, that an in
accuracy hides itself in the pages
securely enough to go through a
magazines edition.

much, and could have spent a
couple months more very pleas

think the next trip l take
will be farther west. If nothing
prevents, / want to go to Seattle,
Washington, this fall to see the
country.
We have had some very rough
weather here this spring. We
have had three very hard snow
billiards. the last month, and they
have been awful hard on the stock.
The roads are in a terrible shape
at present-men that have lived
here for years say they are worse
than they have ever seen them.
The mud is so deep IN places that
you can hardly geta team through.
The farmers have not got any
thing done in the field yet. Last
year we had our wheat sowed be-
fore this time.
There won't be much rest for
awhile when it once gets so we
can 90 to work in the field. But
we are making our money easy
this month and can afford to work
a little harder, once we get at it.
l commenced to work the first
of March, and have not done a
thing but the chores since, about
three hours work a day.
Wages is good here this year.
They run from S23 to &25 a month
till corn picking, then we get
three cents a bushel.
Last year I picked thirty-sev
hundred bushels in thirty six
days and a half, and made one
hundred and ten dollars. Iwant
to pick four thousand this year.
Lots of the farmers do not have
hands for this summer and can
not get them because there are
none to be had. l am going tC
work for the same man that
worked for last year.
l will close by wishing my
friends back in old Fulton health
wealth and a good time,
Yours truly,

When woman isn't saying
more than she means she is mean
ing more than she says.
One Of the funny things about
living in the country is that if
your clothes fit you, half of the

living an evil life.
There is only one thing that
can look as contented as a woman
with a new silk dress on sitting

From advices received at the

their enforcement has brought in
something like $1,000 a day more
than during the time when they
were not enforced. In fact, the
