A Chance to. Educate.

The best way to invest some of the
earnings of the farm is in the educa-
ton Of the boys and girls who have
helped to earn the money. Nearly all
the agricultural colleges of the differ

very practical topics. The farmer who
cannot afford to do more for his chill

penditure of money and require the

 As the result of formal correspohdNhce ,tweeu Hou. J. k. Jackson, PriNate Hee' letarv to Governor Jeiks. Who IS tus' :, dian of the Capitol grounds. and Hon F. B. Jos ph, Mayor of Montgomery. lne ,'anital City of Alabama. will present U thn state through the custodian of the CanitoI a number of squirrels which VII t.kn up their habitat in the trees on th' Capitol lawn within the next few deys The squirrels were reared in the oaks ol Highland Park and are the especial pride of the park keeper.
 Since the days when Private Secretary Jackson first came to Montgomery 1t has been his pet idea to intl oduce squlrrels us an additional attraction in the pi cturesque Capitol grounds. When the trees were first planted in the grounds. more than half a score of years ago, NIT. Jackson cherished the thought that the time would come when these trees would be large enough to shelter young squirrels and proyida acorns for their feed. That time has come, and with it the time when MT Jackson is in a position, as custodian oi the States property. to improve it.
 Strolling through beautiful Highland Park admiring the frisky festive squirrels the genial Private Secretary bethough' himself of app saling to His Honor, tn dignitied Mayor Of Montgomery, to hell along his scheme for the adornment of the Capitol grounds.
 ''IIl make bold to ask the Mayor tC give us a few of these dear little ami mals." no doubt MT. Jackson unused as h. shied a pebble at remarkably graceful and agile gray animal busying itself among the acorns in the trees.

 At any rate, the letter was written and the Mayor responded yesterday.
 Mayor Joseph presents his compliment, to the great State of Alabama and begs to say that the squirrels desired by tho custodian of the Capitol will be delivered to him at his pleasure. With assurances of distinguished consideration, etc, etc
 This is not exactly the way the letter read, but it stated in more specific terms that 1t was a pleasure to the Mayor ot Montgomery to present the custodian oi the Capitol with the squirrels. and that they would be sent to him within a very few days.
 ''I will have boxes put in the trees for the squirrels" said MT. Jackson, who is a kind-hearted man, and I think they will be great addition to the grounds. '

HOW HELEN KELLER WRITES Her "story of My Life" Was an Ex-
 traordinary Literary Work.

Not one person in 10000 of those who will read Helen Kellers own story of her life. when 1t begins in an early issue of The Ladies' Home Journal. will have the least conception of the amount of hard work it required to write the story. First of all Miss Keller puts down her ideas in Braille," as the blind express it: that is to say. in the system of 'Eoints'' raised on paper by meaus of a stylus and slate devised to aid the blind: these points being read afterward by passing the sen- sitive fingers over them When all of this Braille work has been completed Miss Keller goes to her typewriter and uses these notes as guide to the rewriting of the story.
 As son as page of matter Is typewrit- ten 1t is, so to speak, lost to Miss Keller who has to depend upon her faithful teacher. Miss Sullivan, to repeat 1t to her by spelling out each sentence by means of the hands It Is tedious task, espe- cially as some of the pages have to he read again and again, with changes here and there, before Miss Keller is satisfied Then. when the proofs are sent to her all this slow process of spelling word after word has to be gone through once more. so that each word that Helen KAl- Ter writes goes through her fingers at least five times. It will he satisfaction to everybody to know that the publish CTS of The Journal have recognized in a substantial manner the extraordinary ability and patience which Miss Keller has shown in her work.

"SaVed My Life and Kept Me
 from Insane Asylum" Mrs. Wilcox is Now in Perfect Health Through no
 Other Agency than
Paine'S Celery
 Compound
Earnest and Candid Statements Made
 by a California Lady.

The absolute need of an honest and genuine invigorator and health giver in the spring season is deeply impressed on the mind of every thinking and intelligent man and woman
 The happy cure of Mrs. J. F. Wilcox, of Winters, Cal. through the use of Paine's Celery Compound, created widespread as- tonishment and joy amongst her friends and neiGhhors who were exceedingly anx- ious regarding her condition.
 The best medical treatment failed even to give Mrs Wilcox a few days of relief from her sufferings of mind and body. At last. Paine's Celery Compound saved her from terrible end and planted her feet firmly on the rock of health.
 Read Mrs. Wilcox's letter of testimony. dear reader. and if you remain obdurate and unbelieving after such an earnest and convincing confession of cure. noth- ing but direct act of Providence can snatch you from the dangers and perils of your position. Mrs Wilcox says:
 '1 feel it my duty to tell you what Paine's Celery Compound did for me Some years ago my head troubled me SO that it seemed l should be crazy. It was caused by over study. I asked the advice of two doctors who gave me medicine to no effect and I did not know what I would do. l did not want to see any one, everything seemed so strange I had n tired, tagging feeling, my bowels were out of order. my kidneys troubled me, and I felt badly but before l had taken half of one bottle of Paines Celery Compound l felt like a new person. Four bottles cured me and would recommend 1t to all who feel the way did can't praise 1t half enough, for I know it saved my life and kept me from imprisonment in an in- sane asylum. which is as bad as death.

The New Rights of Womn.

m large way, woman never enjoyed such rights and privileges as she does today. says The Saturday Evening Post For years the avenues of employment were closed to her
 In 1S4O. when Harriet Martineau was In the United States, she found seven occupations open to women-needle-work, the Keeping of boarders, teaching, work ing in the cotton factories. type setting. book binding and household service.
 Today, the number of employments onen 10 women exceeds 300. and is estimated by some as being more than 40O
 In fact. the f1ocking of women into the professions and the avocations with the competition which it has engendered has become one of the problems of the times
 In higher things woman has proflted nobly. Her legal status in almost every part of the civilized world has been made pracucally as independent as that of man. She has been large factor in the improvement of the people. in the spread or knowledge of the sanitations, and in the plain duties and responsibilities which add so much to the sanity and yieor of human life. In education she occupies place to- day practically on a level with that of the other sex. A few places are still closed to her. but all the doors are grad ually opening, and often, when there has been reluctance. she has gone ahead and founded her own institutions and made her own way.
 Independence is everything. When a man finds woman independent he begins to yield and to vote for what she wants And really she has been very modest in her demands.
