Unequal Dis tribution.

The train was leaving Lancaster
when a yol woman in the rear of
the car began to cry yioltltly. So loud
were her lamentations that young
man who sat opposite went over and
tried to comfort her
"Iop seem to be in great grief,
madam said he Is there anything
l can do for you?'
zN-no, re. lied she between her sohs.
I've just got my husband cremated.
On hearing this an elderly lady in
the next seat also began to cry VIC
lently.
The young man went from the young
to the elder woman, and asked if there
was anything that he could do for
her.
She Strengthened out and replied in
naughty tone:
"No, there is nothing I'm 60 years
old and never had a husband. Now,
please do something for this poor
woman who has them to burn. ."-Phil-

Men who nave been Iamentinng the

cultural interests of the United States
should read bulletin which has been
issued by the ceners bureau. The fig
ures which give the number and value
of American farms and the value of
their products are so big as to be al
most dazzling to the eye.
Those who think SO mary people
are crowding in the cities and towns
that farms are dropping behind in the
race should note what this census re-
pore says There are % per cent more
farms in the United States now than
there were in 1890. The number of
farms has increased in every decade
