noise it makes, for it will do no harm if
you keep sufficient sap running in so it
will not all evaporate in the pipe and
consequently burn.

Robbie's hat was lost. He could not
find it anywhere, and his mother was
waiting for him to go out and do an
errand for her.
Hurry up, Robbie!' she said, coming
into the sitting room. 81 must have
that yeast cake right away"
Il can't find my hatv' said Robbie,
beginning to search in every nook and
corner. 81 guess, mamma, you will
have to get somebody else to do that
errand for you. l can't go downtown
bareheaded."
Just then wagon drove into the
yard, and Uncle Wills voice cried out:
where's Robbie? l want to take
him out to the farm"
Here 1 am, Uncle Will-I'm COM
ing" cried Robbie.
And what do you suppose?-in less
than two seconds Robbie's hat was on
his head, and he was bounding out into
the yard!
His mother could hardly help smiling
at the suddenness with which the little
lad had found his hat after he really
wanted to; but she knew that it would
not do to let his deceit go unpunished,
so she hurried out into the yard. Rob
bic was just scrambling up into the
farm wagon.
Uncle WILL" said his mother, "Rob-
bic was going to do an errand for me,
but it took him so very long to find his
hat-until he heard you call-that am
afraid he will not be back in time to
go out to the farm with you to-day"
"Ah" said Uncle Will; 81 see. No,
Robbie, do not think I can wait for you
to-day. But some other day, when your
hat doesn't keep you from getting
mammals errands done first, we will
have a fine ride out to the farm"
Robbie felt his disappointment, you
may be sure. But he was an honest
minded chap, and by the time he had
returned with his mothers yeast-cake
he was quite ready to admit in his own
heart that his punishment, was just
what he deserved.
"And, mamma" he said, as he kissed
her lovingly, 81 don't think l shall ever
lose my hat that way again. Young

Tenant Farming.

Why should not the American system
of tenant farming be abolished? asks a
correspondent of the Prairie Farmer. 1t
is already a fruitful source of wrong
and a menace to free institutions, de-
throning the goddess Of justice and
supplanting her with the goddess of
greed, keeping in state Of servility our
disinherited fellow-farmers, many of
whom were robbed of their birthright
before they were born, when their right
full heritage was given to the railroad
magnates. who in turn have robbed and
now continue to rob their benef1ciaries,
the people, by exorbitant rates. We, the
surplus landowners, both rural and
urban, hold in our grasp the destiny of
this republic for veal of woe Then why
not heal the mortal disease that is
gnawing at her vitals? Ny twenty-five
years under monarchy convinces me
that the landlord and the renter system
is the blight and deathknell of republics
and the bulwark of monarchies. The
Kansas landlord paid only $125 an
acre forty years ago for the land that
now brings him an annual rental of
from 50 to SIS and upward. The system
begets an impoverished soil, impover-
ished peasantry, and poorhouse and
penitentiary candidates.

Kicking Horses.

Many years ago we were run away
with by an old horse, because some
older person would not trust US to har-
ness him to the sleigh, and hitched him
so close that he hit his heels. Some
horses would have kicked the sleigh to
pieces, but we were able to- guide him
for two or three miles without any
greater damage than bruising the
horses legs a little. Since then we
nave seen a colt that would allow the
Wh1ff1etree to hit his heels without any
protest excepting to come down to a
walk and step carefully, while another
horse we owned would stop so short as
to almost throw US over the dasher
whenever strap gave way. 1t was all
a matter of early training, and while
every one should see before starting out
that the harness Is in good condition,
those who raise the colts can easily
train them SO they will neither run
away nor kick in case of an accident.
Perhaps some colts inherit the kicking
instinct, but more get it by bad man.

EX-COngressman Cox.

Elk Congressman Cox is taking life
easy. His thoughts, pleasures and
plans seem to have centered in pas
toral life and he takes as much inter
est now in planning a crop on one of
his farms as he formerly did in out
lining a campaign. And, by the way,
the Col. had genius for organization.
He looked to details. He kept close
track of his opponents and had lieu
tenants i'll all the counties of the dis
trict who advised him accurately and
promptly of the tactics of the enemy.
His judgment upon the effect of a
movement big or little, by himself or
others, upon campaign was excellent,
and he seemed to have almost an in
tuitive knowledge of the approach or
presence OF the turning point IN a
canvass. Then he acted quickly and
rarely failed to turn the tide in his
own favor. But those days are past,
and the silver haired representative,
though taking a general interest il
the outer world, is really absorbed in
home life and the farm. His eye is
brighter, his step lighter, and his
health better than for some time, the

germ is a real danger. If this micro
scopic animalsm could be magntfed to
a size in proportion to its deadliness it
would show like giant python, or fire
breathing dragon. The one fact to re-
me mber Is that the germ is pOwerless
to harm the body when the blood is
pure. 1t is far easier to keep the germ
out than to drive it out after it obtains a
hold in the system. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the most powerful

cines. 1t increases the quantity as well
as the quality of the blood, AID enables
the body to resist disease, or to throw
it off if disease has obtained footing in
some weak organ. Wherever the di-
gestion is impaired, the nutrition Of the
body is diminished, for the blood is
made from the food which is eaten, and
half digested food cannot supply the
body with blood in quantity and quality
