Fairer than the Rose.

A young matron who lives in
Washington apartment house with her
little daughter, is viewing with great
interest courtship going on under her
very eyes. The daughter, Naomi, is
,.le most en-, ,;aging, dignitied and duti-
full little girl of II ever seen in that
part of the city across the creek. So
she has been taken by her mother to
call on great many older persons and
has made the acquaintance Of numer-
GUS boys of 10 or thereabouts. Not
long ago one of these boys came to see
his friends mother very formally and
sat and talked with her until the tens
ity Of formal call nearly burst his
Jacket. Then he arose with a polite
bow and asked for a portrait of the
little girl. The matron demurred, Of
course.
We'll" said the young suitor, ''if
YOU will give me good picture of
Naomi will give you back a picture
have already. 1t isn't good one
at all. But I'll give it back to you for
a better one"
The mother was greatly mystitied.
She decided after awhile that the boy
had photographed her little girl on the
sly, and in order to find out she sent
him word should make the exchange.
Next day there came to her door
long box with a note on the outside.
81 am greatly privileged to send you
Naomi's picture" read the note. ut

The young matron opened the box
curiously, says the Washington Star,
and looked at its contents a long time
without saying word. 1t held a sin

A FARMERS EXPERIENCE.
How Many Bundle, Can You Bind Tor .
Dollsrl

To the Editor: Dear Sir-I noticed
in your last issue an article headed
Points on Binding Twine," in which
YOU call attention to the fact that the
farmer should figure on how many feet
he gets for a dollar. Anyone, without
much thought, would know that is the
important thing, and still we overlook
it, being caught by the old bait OF
cheap price. 1t is not question
whether the twine costs 10 cents
pound or 20 cents a pound, but the es-
sential point is how many bundles can
We bind for dollar.
Last year | was deceived in thinking
that the Standard Manila was Manila
twine that would 20 800 feet TO the
pound, which impression | got from
the dealer, although he may not posi-
lively have stated that as fact, but
one thing l do know is that the result
at the end of harvest was that the total
cost oi my twine was more, although it
was less in price per pound than it for
merly had been when | used the Red
Clover Leaf brand of Twine, which we
All kiloW CoSlS more per pound, Dut
which l am now convinced is the
cheapest and most satisfactory in the
end. We have all used it for good
many years with pretty general satis-
faction, but, in this as in other things,
we teel that it is necessary to make a
change, in order, as we imagine, to bet
ter our condition, and most generally
find that the change does not accom-
plish what we expected.
The Manila twine, being cheaper per
thousand feet than Sisal, from patriotic
motives we ought to use it, rs all tho
Manila fiber in the world is produced
in the Philippine Islands, and it is GER
tainly to the interest of the Pacific
Coast farmer to develop trade with that
country as much as possible, and l
have read that all the Sisal comes from
Iucatan, with which country we can
have no trade from this coast, and as
long as it does not cost us anything to
be patriotic and trade with our own col
onies, why shouldn't we do it?
