[ LOANS
On the Best Terms Offered
by any Company.

We are prepared to make loans on
improved farms for a term of ten years,
with interest payable annually. We
will give the borroWerer the privilege
of making a payment of as much as
one-fifth of,the principal at any time
each year, thereby stopping the inter-
est on the amount paid. BY this
method the borrower is enabled to pay
off the full amount of the loan in five
years. The privilege to pay one-fifth
each year is optional with the borrow
err He can, if he chooses, keep the
loan for the full time. No extra charge
for this privilege. which enables the
farmer to be out of debt in five years if
he chooses. Should the borrower con-
clude to pay only one-tenth of his loan
each year, he would then be out of
debt at the end of ten years. As most
borrowers pay the agent commission
for their loans, lit is very easy to see
the advantage of the above plan. 1T
enables the farmer to save the expens-
es Of making a new loaE every three
or five years. Our mortgages have no
gold clause.
If you want a loan, Investigate our
plan before going elsewhere. Address

Prussia-They Embrace.

Hela, Prussia, Sept. 12.-The meet
ing between Emperor William and
Emperor Nicholas was favored with
perfect weather. The Hohenzollern,
flying the German and Russian inn
perial standards at the mainmast,
welcomed the Standard with an inn
perial salute, which the STANDARD re-
turned, both crews dressing ship
while the bands played the Russian
and German national anthems.
Count Plateu, the kaiser's aide,
went on board the Standard to escort
the car, who went on board the
HohenZollern. The kaiser received
his imperial visitor at the gangway,
where the two monarchs embraced
each other. They then inspected the
guard of honor together, after which
they retired to the quarterback, where
they remained in animated conversa-
ton until luncheon.

THE WOMAN OF polsE.
Her RestfuIness IL Not the Result Of
Accident But OF SeIf-EducatiOn
Along Right Lines.

The woman of poise is restful to
those with whom She comes in contact
To the woman aspiring to this enviable
state of mental equilibrium, of con-
trOlled power, would say: First, re-
member to be saving of your nervous
force. Do not dissipate your strength
upon meaningless movements of
hands, feet, eyes or head. Let each mo-
ton have a purpose, and expend no
more strength upon it than it calls for.
Learn to relax and keep the body in
that state except so far as some mem
Der of it is called upon for action. Do
not give strong grasp where light
touch will do the work. Learn to be
like an elastic band, which stretches
no more than is required, and the
strain removed returns at once to it's
normal condition. Second, it is trite to
say: Don't worry" so I shall modify
the advice and make it possible to fol-
low by saying: Don't worry unneces-
sarily." With most women worry be-
comes habit, and habits are hard to
break, this one particularly. But it
can be done. Sit down some day and
think how few impending calamities
ever get beyond the potential stage.
Worry if you must, but do not begin
before it is time. LIES tangles have
way of Strengthening out when we
come close to them. Third, talk much
or little, as is natural for you, but be
sure that when you speak you say
something. Endeavor to put individ-
uality, which is very different thing
from eccentricity, into your remarks.
Let your speech, even though it be
about trifies, have pith and point. In
conversation, as in most things, it is
well to have goal. The mention of
goal suggests a word about what is
perhaps, aside from nerves, the great
est enemy to poise. This is ainless-
ness. Too many women are aimless in
their talk, aimless in their actions,
aimless in their lives. Thus they fritz
ter away the forces which, if concen-
trated, would result in that useful and
tremendously beautiful product of
civilization, the highest type of wom-
an-the woman of poise.-Ina Bre-

SYMPATHY SEEKERS.
They Are Uncomfortable People, a
Burden to Themselves and Their
Intimate Friends.

sympathy is soothing balm for
hurts of soul or body, a precious cor
dial for human ills, but, like other
cordials, one must be careful not to
grow too dependent upon it, and be-
come weakly, unable to bear any hurt
without its aid. There are many sor-
rows that bring naturally and gra-
ciously their share of coincidence and
tender ministering, but there are other
wounds and heartaches which no hand
but that of the Divine Healer should
be allowed to touch, no eye but His to
penetrate.
Yet there are persons so morbid in
their craving for pity that every woe
must be revealed. The want of har-
mony in the home, the detection of
friends, the faults of husband, wife.
brother or sister-nothing is too
sacred or too private to be uncovered
for sympathy. The habit grows with
indulgence until every skeleton in the
closet, every pickering at the dinner
table, every disappointment and I'M
happiness, is made the property Of the
Observation-Disclosures.
