TOO CONSERVATIVE.
Disinc1inatiOn for Change Has Free
quently Injured the Best In
terexts of Our Farmers.

It is but natural that farmers
should be the most conservative of
all classes of people, from the fact
that their lives are the most indie
pendent and less restricted by the
policy spirit than any other indus
trial class. The farmers dealings are
largely with Providence direct, with
no machine-made rules to control his
acts or motives. Thus he should, and
does, possess sounder integrity and
more stable moral sense than is found
elsewhere. This conservative quality
has without doubt been a safeguard
to the nation at many critical times
in our history, when political in
trigues and partisanship were rife. It
has also been a handicap to the farm
ers themselves in some instances,
Their disinclination for change has at
times blocked the wheels which would
have advanced their interests materi-
ally, had they been more ready to ac-
cept innovations. An instance of the
truth of which was shown in the an
tagonistic attitude toward rural de-
livery of mail. For time the oppo-
sition was the strongest from many
of the farmers themselves. That
same movement for extending postal
convenience will do much toward
making farmers better business men.
Quicker to take advantage of circum-
stances which would promote their
interests. or to oppose those that will
react against them. Farmers should
be the most independent and fearless
of citizens, which is their right, and
that should not prevent their becom-
ing up-to-date business men.-Agri-
cultural Epitomist.

A different process is required If we
desire after the fashion of Columbus to
stand an egg on its head. First the
blown-out egg must be filled with tiny
grains Of meal and pieces of sealing wax.
Then it must be placed in a warm stove
with the end downward. AS a result, the
sealing wax soon melts and forms
solid mass with the grains of meal, and
this mass, when it cools, will complete
ly fill the lower part of the egg. The
holes can then, as above explained, De

A Wonderful Beaver Story.

A story comes from the Yellow
stone National park to the effect
that a keeper caught and tanned a
young beaver. When left in room
alone one day the youngster asserted
its inherited traits and industry
and built a dam across one corner of
the room, using among other things
chairs, books, pair of old boots,
and even an empty pistol that had
been left within his reach.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE.

1t is feeling common to the
majority of us that we do not
get quite the amount of happi-
ness we are entitled to. Among
the countless things which tend
to make US more or less mis-
cradle i'll health takes first place.
Hannah More said that sin was
generally to be attributed to
biliousness. No doubt crippled
liver with the resulting impure
blood, is the cause of more men
tai gloom than any other single
thing. A chronic dyspeptic, says
an eminent English physician, is
always on the verge of a mental
upset. And who can reckon up
the fearful aggregate of pain,
loss and fear arising from the
many ailments and diseases
which are familiar to mankind.
Like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
boasting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing &C.
tually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves it's
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has such a record of
success in Anemia, Nervous De-
bility, Scrofula, Throat and Lung
Troubles, and all emaeiating
complaints and disorders. It's
use helps to show life's bright
er side. DR.. W. II. B. Atkins, of

tory" Every dose effective. cit

A traveller through dusty road
Strew acOrns on the lea
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into tree.
Love sought its shade at evening time
To breathe its early vows,
And Age was pleased, in heats of noon
To bask beneath it's bougns
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music bore;
1t stood, a glory in its place,
A blessing evermore
A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern.
A passing stranger scOoped well,
Where weary men might tnrn;
He walled it in and hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not Of the deed he did,
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed again-and 10! the well,
By summers never dried
Had cooled ten thousand parching
tongues,
And saved life beside
A nameless man amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall word of hope and love,
Unstudied from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown
A transitory breath;
1t raised brother from death.

But mighty at the last

northeast of here, Sunday afternoon
two darkies whose named could not be
learned got into a dispute over 90 cents
in crap game. A fight followed in
which one darby shot another through
the leg. The row then became general
and nearly everyone who had a pistol
and lived in or about the camp began
shooting at someone or something.
A white man named Cox, foreman of
farm near by, took a hand and is
said to have used his pistol vigor-
ously.
No one was killed, but one negro
was shot, one badly beaten up and a
great many people were badly scared
One of the fleeing nergoes was pur-
sued into the house of white man
named Glaze, and was there beaten
badly by his pursuers in the presence
of Mrs. Glaze and her chilrden.
No arrests were made, it is said,
because of the intercession of inf1u-

A THING OF BEAUTY.

A thing of beauty is joy feorver.
| It's loneliness increases it will never
Pass into nothingness, but still will
keep
A bower quiet for us and sleep
Full of sweet dreams and health and
quiet breathing.
Therefore on every morrow we are
wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of dependence, of the inhuman
dearth
OF noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and Ger darkened
Made for our searching; yes, in spite
of all
Some shape of beauty moves away the
pail
From our dark spirits. Such tn sun,
the moon,
Trees, old and young sproutlng shady
boon
For simple sheep, and such are daffodils
With the green world they live in and
clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert
make
'Gainst the hot season; the mild
forest brake,
Rich with sprinkling of fair musk
rose blooms;
And such, too, is the grandeur of the
dOoms
We have imagined for the mighty
dead;
All lovely tales that we have heard or
read,
An endless fountain of immortal drink
Pouring unto us from the heavens
brink.
