reason is quite plain. The country boy
IL he is the right kind of a boy spends
his time building himself up mentally and
physically. The city boy too often spends
his days in idleness and his evenings
at saloons or theaters. He is not pre-
pared for the battle of life, and is left
behind by the country boy.
Another advantage of farming is that
the farmer can be absolutely true to his
convictions. The lawyer, doctor or mer-
chant must study the whims of clients
patients or customers. The farmer has no
one to please but himself He is a free
man.
Still another advantage of farming Is
that the farmer never becomes either
very rich or very poor. neither of which

a good suit of clothes and adorn and

Mrs. Burke becomes her own daughter
in-law, that position being held by the
wife Of her son-in-law. which she herself
IS.
Mr.. Burke's son now has a combined
stepmother and grandmother.
As his father married his grandmother.
his father naturally became his grand
father.
