Uses of shopping"

who boards a crowded and spends
strenuous afternoon shopping for fun, Will
always remain a puzzle to her father. The
young husband can never quite understand
why his bride enjoys wedging her way into
the hot, excited atmosphere of an afternoon
tea, where tension is the watchword from
her entrance TO her departure. when she
might spend the time in their peaceful,
charming new home, hanging pictures and
busting bric-a-brac. The intensely busy
man whose idea of bliss is kind of brain
Nirvana wonders silently, or perhaps aloud,
why in the world his wife should frequent
a club where the lectures on Huxley the
Subliminal Self would strain the attention
of a philosopher, and call the performance
recreation.
But shopping and teas and learned lee
lures have their place in the scheme of
things. They mark a wOmans instructive
obedience to the law of alteration, her
seeking after the variety which keeps all
experiences fresh and interesting. When
the man of the family snatches his last
swallow of coffee, and Struggles into his
overcoat going down in the elevator he
does not appreciate the variety that comes
TO him ready made. The hours of his day,
crowded with the customary details of the
business world the settling of problems,
the parrying of crises interviews with
chance meetings on noisy street, give him
contact enough with his fellow creatures,
so that the quiet world beyond his own
front door. when he turns the key at night,
seems paradise.
His wife loves it quite as much But even
paradise uninterrupted becomes monoton-
Gus. The four walls press the babys in
cessant demands make ones nerves CULVER
NorahS culinary dependence becomes
burden. The woman with well-developed
social instincts feels a sudden longing for
her kind, even for crowds and confusion, as
a contrast to her daily diet of quiet and
solitude. So she runs away TO her after
noon tea or her card party or what not, and
shakes off her everyday habit of thought
for awhile When she returns, home seems
a refuge once more, and she catches up
the chatterbox with a fresh realization of
his graces, and reminds Norah almost
cheerfully that she has forgotten to salt the
soup for the seventh time in a week.
Among the women, however, with their
own bread to earn, who are doing the work
of men in the battle and fray Of the bust
ness world, taut nerves and weary brains
have given warning that the precious hours
of recreation must be spent restfully. For
them the usual amusements of women who
live quiet lives are too exhausting.

Early Gardening.

Farm and Home.
The farmer who does not have a nice
garden of all kinds of vegetables, so his
table can be bountifully supplied with
fresh garden products in season, misses
almost half his living. AS one rides
through this country, it is a deplOrable
fact to see many farmers with scarcely
any garden or a little patch 1Ox15 feet.
Some are too busy with other work and
leave the garden to the women folks.
Others are too shiftesS or lazy to bend
their backs to SOW a seed.
No matter how busy, every farmer
should devote an hour or so day. or one
day a week, in the garden, for no labor
spent on the farm pays so well as that in

When the tear-staired flags are furled
When the battle drum is no longer grum

May bloom in that isle affair."
Der the hallowod graves of the gallant braves
The boys who died in Samar.
When the last long march is over:
When the rushing battles cease;
When the cannons in the fields more
And the bugles all sing peace
God send that loving people
Still know where their heroes are;
That they bare the head for the noble dead,
The boys who died in Samar.
Writ high on the page Of glory,
And lined on the honor scroll,
With the pen Of fame is the golden name
OF each daring. dashing soul.
No faint Of the fear in them.
Nor finch at the wound scar;
God give them rest Tor they fought their best
The boys who died in Samar.
When the last heart-sigh is whispered;
When the last heartbreak is healed:
When the trumpet call and the musket bah
No more sing across the field.
May the hush or peace make holy
The ground where they sleep afar,
And the daiSies CLEAN where our soldiers dream

The Useful Angora Goat.

Mr.. George B. Ellis, of Columbia, Mo,
secretary of the State Board of Agricul-
ture says that Angora goats as farm
hands are a success and his statement Is
backed by facts and figures. Experiments
in clearing farm lands of weeds and shrub
berry by goat grazing have been conducted
in many sections of Missouri during the
last twelve months and from reports of re-
suits received here 1t is evident that much
expense can be saved by utilizing these ami
mails as farm labOrerS. Farmers and az
ricultural authorities are giving this ques-
ton very serious consideration at present
and the experiments will be continued on
much larger scale. 1t has been clearly
demonstrated that goats when pastured
on lands overrun with weeds and shrub
berry will consume the obnoxious growth.
eating to the roots and suffer no III effects
therefrom. The experiments have proved
that goats of the Angora breed do the best
work The ground on which the goats are
pastured should be surrounded by hign
wire fence. This is about the only expense
involved aside from the cost of the herd
They require no attention while at work
In speaking of the vast acres of Missouri
rendered useless by the constant growth
of weeds and shrubbery, Secretary Ellis
said:
1T seems that there Is a splendid OPP
portunity in Missouri for men of little or
much capital TO invest in this cheap brush
land, stock IL with goats and as fast as
it is cleared of brush and weeds set it in
grass and orchards. There are thousands
Of acres, perhaps millions, of this land In
this State much Of it in old settled coun-
ties. and some in the southern part OF the
State, that can be taken by homestead,
that when once cleared of brush will pro-
duce as much grass orchard fruits as
land that is now worth from $50 TO $50 per
acre. The people are just finding these
things out and a great development may
be expected in the goat industry within
the next few years. with profitable results
to those who intelligently take up the bus
mess.
The agricultural authorities are receiv-
ing inquiries on the subject from many
sections of the State and it is evident that
the farmers have taken up the goat Ques-
ton in earnest
