The Farmers Advantages.

Plo 'ei' 'ne Iaru was oasliy answer
ed. A harder question would have
been why anybody stayed there.
Tho farmer had little society,", nc
luxuries, no conveniences. If he
wantedto talk to neighbor he
had to hitch up mule. His chif
dren had to walk mile OF two to
school, and when they got ther.
they found llttle, black, wooden
building, with the most p,imitive
arrangement for Instruction.
But the farm is a different place
now. 1t is not prison, hut 6
country seat. 1t has most of the
advantages of the city and u good
many that the city would he ,ex-
tremsly glad to get. MIR. w.
Frank Mcclure has described one
of them in the October mum Der of
the Worlds Work. o.
In the township of KingsvilIe,
Ohio, the shabby little district
schools have been abandoned. In
stead, there is one handsome CEN
tral graded school, built, funisned
ann heated on modern plans. 1t
has five teachers, instead of seven
thst used to he scattered through
the little local school, and althou-
Oh the salaries are better, the
school taxes have bsen reduced
nearly ene-half
Instead of walking mile or two
to the district school, the farm
er's children are now carried to
the central school in coaches. The
coach stop at the home of each
pupil, but will not wait if the
child Is not ready. AS n result
only one case of tardintss has
heen reported from the outlying
districts in three years. The at
tendasce has increased by from
one hundred to one hundred and
fifty per cent
The Kingsville system has
spread throughout OHIO and H.
hnois, and has been applied to
high schools aS we'll as to gram
mar schools. 1t has sent up the
value of farm property on the line
of the school coaches and almos,
abolished vacant farm houses.
Free postal delivery routes
have now been established in al
most every State aud Territory
Every rural delivery wagon is u

rlers sell stamps, register letters
and issue and pay money orders.
This system is steadily improving
the country roads, for the Post.
Office Department has announced
that it will Withdraw the free de-
livery wagons from sections il
which the roads are poor. The
farmers who have once experienced
the convenience of having post.

Rural trolley lines are turning
the farms into suburban property.
A farmer can put II pound of but.

Alberta Gallatin is soon to appear
here as Nell Gwynne. 1t is not only a
new and clever romantic comedy by a
bright, young dramatlst, but as pro-
ductlon Is far more pretentious than
the average seen here. The play Is in
four acts, one showing the elaborate
apartments of fashionable milliner
during the reign of Charles III, an
other the Kings audience chamber at
Whitehall, the third, the bachelor
apartments of Lord Buckhurst. The
most interesting and elaborate setting,
however, is that of an old English inn,
where Neil Gwynne. by her wit and
quick endeavor, rescues King Charles

correctly informed regarding the mat
ter the Anti-Saloon league of Harrison

raised 81 800 with which to fight the
liquor traffic in this county. The tele

fore the subscription paper had started
around.
The saloon people are now circulat-
ing petition OF consent and it is ex-
pected that they will completeit it about
the 10Th inst. Then it is that the
league expects to commence its active
work. 1t is said that the persons cir
culatlng the petition at the present
are using any kind of an argument to
secure signers, also that names of
persons who have moved from
the county are being used. To cope
with this phase of the question it
is proposed by the league to issue
for each paper in the county, which
will use it, "a supplement giving the
names of the persons, who have signed
the petition. The object of getting
out this supplement is not to intimi
date anyone but to expose any irregu

DeWet's ready escape from the
British troops in Cape Colony ought to
be regarded as a serious reflection
upon the British generals. Their i'm

equipment was reinforced by the rise
of the Orange river, which made its
crossings by DeWet and his men un-
usually difficult at this time. The Boer
