his coat pocket. Picking it up.
the lad found that it contained
S1OO in currency. Being an hon.

run after the man on the bicycle
and after chasing him for eight
blocks caught up with him at the
hotel where he was stopping and
handed him the book. The man
took it, looked through it care
fully and seeing that every dollar
was there, he patted the lad on
the head and said: 81 see that
you are an honest boy. If you
stick to that principle you will
grow up a good and useful man,
And then the owner of the pocket

The Farm a Reflector.

The farm is the looking glass
which reflects the character of
the owner. If he is slovenly, his
house and yards and fence-cor-
ners show it. If he is kind and
generous, his live stock will be
slick and fat. Ii he is patient
and industrious his fields will
show an increasing fertility. If
he is a good provider, his meat
house and hay loft and corn-crib
will show ample supplies. If he
is a man of taste, the surround
ings of his dwelling will be en-
bellished with rare and beautiful
flowers. No one can ride by a
country place without making up
his mind as to the character of
the owner, for it will be reflected
in the houses, fences, fields and
stock and everything which is
under his care.-Exchange.

Poor People in the south.

In speaking of the South a
travelling man was heard to make
these remarks: 81 have travelled
all over Europe and the United
States, and there is not a place
under the sun where the poor
people live as well, or have as
many chances to become inde-
pendent as in the South. The
poorest negro lives better than
the serfs Of Russia or peasants of
other European countries. 1t is
true that the manual laborer re-
ceives better wages in the North
than in the South, but the expen-
ses of living r SO much greater
after you cross the Mason and
Dixon line that the advantage is
lost. Any man with a spark of
energy and judgment can not
only make an honest living, but
with land as cheap as it is, can
easily buy a home.-Booneville

EYE SERVICE

In the good old times. when
slavery was in vogue in the South,
a servant who could be trusted
to do faithful and efficient work
without the eyes OF master. mis-
tress or everseer being upon him,
was of double the value OF those
who required constant watch
care to bring forth their best eff
forts. In the household, on the
farm. and in the trades, this same
mental apprisement of worth
was current, aud the owner of
capable and efficient slaves could
scarcely be induced to part with
them at any price. Whatever
progress we may have made IN
! the substitution of machinery for
mental and manual labor, this
valuation of the trustworthy
laborer continues. An employer
may be forced by circumstances
to retain employees who give eye
service, but from the engineer TO
the wood chopper, or from the
secretary to the kitchen maid,
the one who can be trusted to
work without an %overseer, is tc
be preferred.
The worker who habitually
Ilgives eye-service, no matter how
high or low be his position, viii
eventually sink lower. On the
other hand he who labors with
the consciousness that self, ano
an All-seeing Eye should evel
be regarded, can no more be KEEP
t from rising in the esteem anc
confidence of his fellow-men
than the sun from shining.
The trouble is. most of Us arr
: prone to weary in the faithful

ance Of the work which consti'
tutes duty, and are careless wheI
we think no one is looking,or WI
won't be found out. We want t.
