At one time farming could be
done mainly by muscle. The time
has now arrived when the main
power on the farm is brains. not
only are brains needed to keep
up or restore fertility, but most
particularly to manage the
business end of the enterprise.
The chances are that nearly all
farmers have brains enough to
farm successfully if they will use
them; therefore we say cultivate
the habit of thinking and
reasoning. 1t is not necessary to be
a college graduate to be a success
full farmer. The education that
can be obtained on the farm by
the person who keeps his eyes and
oars open and uses his brain may
be suf6cient.-Western Farmer.

 'Is there any danger of that?''
 'Danger?"
 And MT. Davenport promptly took an- other track. Well, just don't wear your self out"
 You are making yourself sick," he warned, at close of the first day, when cheek and hot of hand invaded his attic to tell him she was confidently spoken of as the coming president.
 'You'n kill yourself and much good will the presidency do you then," was his second day dark prophecy.

Davenport repressed an impulse to ask if it might not be postponed un- til the weightier matters of soup and roast had been disposed of. Discretion carried the day and with a cheap witti- eism he sank receptively into the indi- cated easy chair, instead of his seat at table.
 Clubs are trumps. Your play
 Yes,e clubs are trumps. If I had not gone to my fortpightly on Monday and heard that Mime. CoFinne Sedwick would address the ladies of, the Nine teenth on Tuesday, I never would have heard the grandest speech that ever was spoken, or, been one of the charter mem bers Of the Don't Worry Club. Her sub Ject was worry; how it ages a woman; how 1t allenates a husbands affections; and how to cure the worry habit Oh, 1t was grand; If had never heard her I would never have known the absolute serenity that fills my breast at this mo- ment. l will admit, dear, that have had growing consciousness of vacuum somewhere in my moral makeup; I could not locate 1t, but have worried over 1t dreadfully, for I felt it blemIsh."
 MT. Davenport surreptitiously laid a hand on his stomach, pantomiming his conviction that he, also. was conscious of vacuum which he could locate at a seconds notice., Instead. he murmured with vague pollteness, t''Immense."

THE DON'T WORRY CLUB
BY JEANNETTE HADERMANN

(Copyright, 19O3 by Daily Story Pub Co.)
 It was such an unusual experience for Mir. Drake Davenport to come home to dinner and find his wife placid.y occupied with bit of embroidery; her pretty hair decorated with an aggressive bow of wide blue ribbon; her rocking chair osciliating nontentedly tn front of the heliotrope scented window in short. general air of pervasive peace breeding over his home that, after brief stare of pleased sur- prise. he advanced with a broadening grin and the apprecative declaration. that:
 This Is something like, well now"
 A studiously composed face was turned towards him. Mrs. Drake Davenport folded up and laid down her just begun center piece; her plump white hands toyed gracefully with the gay silks that en- cumbered her lap.
 ''Something like what?" she questioned, with a brand new smile.
 She was pretty and a youthful look ing matron, whose friends were given to saying, that, 'Bessy Davenport might be called a beauty if she could only rid her self of her work wrinkles and the peevish expression that drew the curves of her mouth in such petulant lines"
 A resounding conjugal kiss prefaced MT. Davenports answer.
 Something like 1t should be to find you be-ribboned, instead of be-wrappered and sorting embroidery silks instead of sulk- ing over a grocer's book I rather like the change myself"
 The changed one smiled serenely. T be- lieve do myself. I am going to stop worrying, Drake, dear It don't pay"
 If I am not mistaken that is the gos- pei I have been propounding to you these fifteen years of our married life But I began to fear the good seed of my sowing had fallen on stony ground
 You? Oh, yes in your mans fashion, not at all convincing you're always say ing now don't worry, Bess. .gft will all be oiR in hundred yearsr as if there was any comfort in that especially as you were so densely ignorant of what I had to worry me. But this is altogether a different matter"

 Roast burnt to a cinder, sir?' MT. Davenport sniffed angrily. "A trile overcome, sir. Cook says she dozed off while waiting tor the mistress | bell"
 Mrs. Davenport rustled sillxily into her place and shook her napkin out of it's folds with airy grace.
 | Pity It was an especially fine look ing roast. But worry won't unburn it,
 now will it. dear?'

 Keep it up, Bess," he said, by way of adieu the next morning, "and If the Sedg- wick teaches my little wife how to take life more evenly I'll build temple in her honor. for the use of the Don't Worry Club. But I say, Bess. don't run the house entirely on the tips of your toes, old girl. Would you mind just keeping to the balls of your feet until dinner is well on the table?"
 You are guying me-" Mrs. Daven- ports air was one of offended dignity. But Madame forewarned us we must ex- pect to be misunderstood and rtdiculed. It is part of the discipline. She told us we would have to make allowance for mems total lack of imagination They just cannot accept anything that is not demonstrated by the rule of three. Closing the door on his retreating figure she made her way straight to her own apartment She had just escaped one of the old attacks "of fume." She glanced into the mirror to see if the time wrinkles were getting in their marring work.
 According to madame's manuel that was the time to exercise the ramlilar ue- mon of worry. She rose slowly and reso- lutely to the tips of her toes. She wanted to entertain forgiving thoughts of Drake. She dropped to her balls with horri- fled exclamation. There was new hole in her new lace window curtain. How and when did 1t get there?
 In her haste she seized the folds of the injured drapery. How was she to know that that idiot of a Gertrude had planted the leg of table on the cur tain and pet ewer on the table?'

 Pirrouetting was the word. Pirrouet- ting and taking simultaneously at the ex- pense of her breath. She panted a brief preface:
 -Sedgwick-says. dear-that no woman-can worry--oyer the kitchen range-or the delinquencies-of house maids and have-beautiful thoughts too here she came into her second wind and progressed more smoothly-"that Is unless she sedulously cultivates beautiful and lofty thoughts by reaching and striving for them as she would for any other high hung boon from heaven. And to cultivate lofty habits of thought one must elevate the body in unison with the mind. So up-up-up-"
 MT. Davenport started at the astonish- ing spectacle of Mrs. Davenport rising slowly, if somewhat uncertainty, to the tifyssaf her toes, where she maintained a precarious elevation while she spread her arms and lifted her hands until fancy easily converted her into a large wing spread bird preening her plumes for in- stant flight.
 Having achieved her utmost in the way of physical expansion, Mrs. Davenport descended with great dignity to her nor nal dimensions. leaving her correspond ing moral elevation to the imagination of the spectator, but as the there now with which she subsided to the soles of her feet, was full of self-gratulation, MT. Davenport supposed the experiment Lad been satisfactory in every respect.
 Did you see?' she demanded with ani- nation
 "Of course, saw"
 ''Of course you did and I assure you Drake, while I was at my apex, l don't know that Madame calls it that, l was thinking such lovely thoughts about you and your patience with me all these fret full years. Madame says 1t is impossible to think little thoughts when we are soaring. in our poor human way. You know the lark sings sweetest when it is soaring heavenward. Why, up to a few days ago, dear. I could not know a min utes peace of mind if l thought the laundress had lost a pocket handkerchief, or Roscoe. had broken a tea cup, or, cook allowed the roast to burn. 1t was just awful the importance l gave such things"
 MT DaYenport's nostri6 expanded with suspicion. 'It may be fancy on my part my, love- but don't you preceive a smell of burning mutton right now? That was an especially fine roast l sent home this morningT'
 Mrs. Davenport laughed gayly. Which means that you are hungry, carnal crea- ture that you are"
 As, fortunately, she was on the balls of her feet she was not superior to the suggestion and touched the bell to order dinner before resuming.

But, when she had lighted herself in a degree she stood forlornly but firmly on the balls of her feet berating the delinquent Ger trude and reducing herself to a maidless condition.
 It was only when she was actually seated among the don't worries at their next meeting that the full extent of her failure overlook her. It was a part of Madame's discipline that the new con verts should confess to their failures and Mrs. Davenport made quite a dramatic story of the broken ewer and the broken resolve.
 And then Drake had to be confessed to and with twinkle in his eyes he said it was pity that she had not gotten on t1p-toe, for when all was said and done Gertrude would not easily be replaced.

 And as things seemed to move with phe- nomenal smoothness for some weeks to come he marveled nightly at the power Of imagination in some women and re- garded Madame in the light of a faith curtst. One morning he took his wife's head between his hands to kiss her good bye.
