SUBURBAN PROPERTY.
HOW ARE YOU GETTING ON IN THE woRLD7
Are you a wage Garner, toiling day after day,
striving to make both ends meet?
Are you rusting in the employ Of the govern
ment, with little hope of advancement and no
ambition?
Are you advancing in years and are You saving
enough money every month to assure you living
when age and competition drives you outf
Are you tired Of the vanity and frivolity Of
city life?
Are you longing for something higher and better7
The average man woman over sixty leads a
ptiable life In the city unless there children
to for him her. And how frequently Is
life embittered by the unilial conduct Of heart
less children! Worse than death to those Of sen
sitlve natures IL dependence upon charity grudg-
ingly dispensed.
Work without hope draws rest as In a sieve.
And hope without an object cannot live"
The country is the place for people who have
passed middle age. 1t will afford support, happi-
ness and independence.
II your condition and surroundings are not to
your liking and you wish to Improve them, don't
tarry In the city. Every dollar you pay out In
rent is money wasted. Go to the country.
There are many profitable industries that can
be pursued in the country by which you can add
greatly to your income. Here are a few that can
be entered into with small expenditure: You
can raise bees, poultry, squads, ducks. goats,
pheasants, frogs quail, goldfish, canaries, cats,
pets of all kinds, fruit (smal fruit Is especially
proftable), melons, mushrooms, celery, grapes,
water lilies violets and many other things for
which there Is constant demand and which VIII
bring cash. All well suited to women and
children. If you few acres Of ground and
make a speciality of some one thing success Is
yours. With persistent well-directed effort fall
is impossible. Your income can be increased
cort liyt
cut In half and you will experience pleasure and
happiness greater than you ever dreamed of.
Farm life Is more healthful and better than
life in the city.
The average farmer has more of life and lifes
truest pleasures than does the city man with ten
thousand year.
Children raised in the country physically
and morally superior to those who are city bred.
No man or woman whose early life was spent
on a farm ever forgets the old homestead.
The politician, the railroad magnate, the bank
er, the great manufacturer, all point with pride
to the farm where they loose when they
were barefooted boys. All long for the happiness
of those bygone days full of pleasant memories.
While 1t ia true that the city man may handle
more money than his country brother. does he
have the most in the endf Does not the man
with ordinary common sense the farm have
more to eat. better health and less care than his
brother In the city, Is money everything?
flower fruit poultry business has a better and
more prosperous time. with less care and TOLL
than the city wage Garner.
The fight for Life and bread in the city 10 a
hundred times harder than in the country, and
more exhaustive. physically and mentally.
II you own n country home you can have con-
slant enjoyment in the song of birds; the green
meadows; tho murmuring hum Of the heavy laden
bee; the tropical fragrance Of the wild honey
suckle; the woodland heights and mountains tow
ering In the distance like a stately cloud the
crystal stream flowing softly between shady delis;
the freshening air anu Iifegying waters, special
ly conducive to sleep and appetite and peaceful
rest; the emerald lawn, perfumed with fresh
fragrance and leaves bending with rosaries Of
dewy beads; the varied luxuriance Of growth Of
ancient trees; the marshy meads, where flags
shoot up and rugged grasses wave; the vine
covered cottage, with its ample wood fireplace
and cheerful dining room, affording broad view
of leafy woods and sun kissed hills, rich In groves
and glens. Whether In the budding Of spring. the
full foliage Of summer the gorgeous colorngs
Of autumn, tho ever-changing picture Of the coun-
try Is always one OF beauty, charming to the eye
and restful to the weary.
Who would exchange all this for the city, with
its disquietude, Its anxieties, its cares RESPONSE
bilities and worries, its mental labor; the hurry
ing, Josfling crowd; the clangor and of the
thronged streets; the strife for wealth. the envy,
ciety; the senseless pomp and show of those who
strive to climb the social ladder; the heart
burnings, the wfthered hopes OF those who fail;
false friends who ape the ways Of pride; the
streets that glare and burn; the dull and murky
air. oppressive taxation, vexatious building regu-
lations and other annoyances and restrictions IN
bearab,e and almost without number7
