TO raise the increase thereof until
he became OF age. Al sheend Of the
fourth year the boy had four hum
dred bushels of potatoes and the
man wanted 70 be released from his
bargain Another man in Kansas
gave one OF his children two old
hens and said he would feed the
increase for four years. Two years
have passed, and the boy has two
hundred chickens and sixty-four
dollars in the bank. The man says
he is afraid that in two more years
the boy willown the farmand charge
him rent for living there.
Give the boy share of the gar
den truck. IL he has a colt or a
calf he is more apt to care for il and
the rest of them better. You could
let him have pair OF skates, gun,
and maybe a watch, without missing
the cost very much. III he wants to
use a hammer, saw or axe let him
use them, but teach him to put them
in their places when he gets through
with them.
What advantages has farm boy
Perhaps you say he has none; but
does the city boy have all the sun
shine or exercise that he needs /?
The city boy does not come in con-
tact with natureas muchas does the
country boy. Compare the farm boy
of today with one Of fifty years ago
Then he didn't get much schooling,
generally went barefoot, and even
when snow was. on the ground he
bad to put ON pair of old shoes
that his brother wore year be-
fore.
A boy should be thankful that he
doesn't have to shuck corn hare
handed and always take down
row; or bind wheat by hand. Who
invented the machines for labor saw
ing that are now on the up to date
farm; did the city boy invent these?
The common country boy knows
enough to make his head save his
heels.
What more can farm boy want
He has good reading matter. good
schools, good exercise. and good
living.

New Light on Jas. K. Polk.

The Chicago Historical Society is
said to have secured a treasure IN
the diary and correspondence Of
James X. Polk, which has been pur-
chased from his heirs as Nashville,
Tenn, for the comparatively small
sum OF s3,99o. The diary is report
ed to be contained in fogty volumes
and to Include not osly important
data, but interesting comment on
men and affairs of the time. The
President seems 70 have had habit
of iotting down in his diary his inn
pressions OF themmnbers Of his CAB
met, leading Senator's and public
men OF the day as they revealed
themselves to him in private con
versation, conference and the Ca5i-
net meeting. The correspondence
recently secured covers twenty
years, some Of them among the most
important in our hi sory, and IN
cludes letters from Andrew Jackson
and Polk's replies, she negotiations
regarding the O.eyo1 boundry, the
annexation OF Texas aad all he dip
lomatic questions that arose during
his Administration
President Polk has been one ofthe
least understood oiPtesie.epts:. Few
writers OF history nave assigred
him the plIce he deserved, AID many
have placed aim as am nor Egure in
the a2itltion chat led ~ TO tae war
with Mexico, tae conduct oitlat war,
and the subsequent ACQUISITION of
an immense aud valuable terr aory.
While not as strenaous rs Jackson
nor as resourcefuI as Lincoln, Polk
met the emergencies Of the war with
Mexico with ability ard decision.
He was an ardent pan .o5 aul would
be known today a. an e5sige
American.
One ittle-known incident of the
beginning of the war with Mexico
is ofinterest. Polk sentamessage 10
Congress stating that Mexican troops
had shed the blood of American
citizens on American soil, and call
ing for declaration OF war. The
preamble to the bill appropriating
10000, 600 for the prosecution ofthe
war read: Whereas, by the act of
the Republic OF Mexico, a state of
war exists between that Govern
ment and the United States. The
Wings protested bitterly against
the war and offered what we're known
as the spot resolutions" calling
upon the President to "aame the
spot of American territory whereon
the outrage had been committed.
The Congressman who introduced
these resolutions and denounced the
war was Abraham Lincoln, who a
few years later called upon Cong
ress and the country to support him
in waging one of the greatest and
costliest wars in history.
Mr.. Polk was nominated for Pres
ident in great national convention
in the city Of Baltimore, which met
here May q, 1874, with Geo II. Dali
las for Vice President. He is prob
ably the least known of all our war
Presidents, and his real snare id
the events of his time has never
beenaccorded him. II is hoped that
the mass Of correspondence which
is now open to the student and his
torian viii throw new light on the
character and career OF a President
who added vast territory 10 his
country an ardent expansionist.
but never an imperialist. Baltimore
