Rentinn Versus Hiring Out.

There are renters who make money
in nenting, and there are those who
do not. Where o good farmer and a
poor renter are combined in the
same parsonage, it would pay a land
lord, provided he is good business
man, to hire the man instead Of let
ting him the farm. The business
part of the farming can be run on
q paying basis, the farm improve
ments kept up, the soils fertility
maintained and the farm built up in
stead of degenerated as the SEASONS
go by. And the hired man VIII not
get rich perhaps, but he will live in
q better house, wear better clothes
and live better. and his family will
be better cared for than when knock

ed farms.-J. L. Irwin. in Country

Alice shuddered into forlorn little
heap; he had seen her SO disfigured;
that horrible nose had ended every
thing! Otherwise, at least he might
have loved her. But how could he be
expected to carry forever in his heart
the image of that infamed face? She
had not been able to kill herself-only
his love! Alice ran to the mirror,
assured herself she was frightful, and
wept bitterly.
Now appeared her mother, very ten
der to her ailing child, with Cousin
Fred, who had answered summons
in place of his principal, out Of town
on an important consultation. 1t is
possible that Cousin Fred understood
something of the state of affairs.
"How did you take your cold, Alice =
he inquired.
II took it on purpose-there!" she
burst forth. Everybody is cruel. Let
me die!"
Impossible to oblige you, my dear
little cousin. There is but one similar
case on record where the patient died
IF sneezing, and his head had been
previously sliced off with so sharp a
sword that he didn't know it until he
exploded a sneeze and his head flew
across the room. You, my good Alice,
have an acute coryza, which, being in
terpreted, is bad cold in the head;
and suspect that the larynx, pharynx
and epiglottis-in fact, the whole
Latin quarter of your throat-may
also be somewhat involved. But you
will soon get over it. We get over all
sorts of things, you know" said the
young doctor, with an affectionate
common sense which made Alice feel
little less forlorn.
The next day this assiduous physi-
clan came again, bringing box of
marshmallow caramels and the latest
bit of gossip-the elopement the even
ing before of NJ. Anatole Fleury and
Miss Lily Vansittart. A telegram had
been received from the pair, welded
in New Jersey; Lily's father, in order
to give the best appearance to the
affair, had allowed it to be reported at
once at the club. Alice blamed Bit
terly, in her heart, her impossible nose
as the cause of the sudden detection
of her adorer. allow could hep" she
exclaimed, involuntarily.
"Why not?' rejoined Cousin Fred,
cheerfully. "Sweet little soprano
pipe, beautiful girl!'-
"Oh, do you think her so? To me
she is hardly pretty"
los ~
Come, NJ. Fleury, the humbug, has not
done so badly for himself"
II wish that he may have! He IS
detestable. And she, tool"
However, the ultimate destiny of
NJ. and Nine. Fleury need not con-
Germ us. Let us think of ourselves,
Alice DEAR
GLOW, ourselves?''
"Think whether you could care for
the cousin who has always loved You
and told you so as often as you would
let him. Think, Alice, and tell me if
you will be my wife,"
But l am so hideous! Look at my
nose. Fred!"
"To me the dear little nose appears
lust now like red beacon of hope. l
will steer by it as long as llve."
According to classic legend, it was
q fortunate omen for lovers when
"Cupid sneezed from left to right"
Somebody sneezed at that moment; it
may have been Cupid; more probably
it was Alice.
But young DR.. Millard and his wife
have been happy ever since.
