When YOU let man onto your farm
as tenant, ii is not only the satisfactory
contract YOU have made or could have
made with any man that you are to
consider. but it is that particular man
whom YOU select as tenant. There are
many men whom you would not let
manage your farm under any contract
whatever, even If they would agree to
give You all the farm would produce,
for you would know that the farm
probably would not produce much that

Ii would take some time to get 1t back

onto it, or the buildings might be bad
~ damaged, if not actually destroyed,
through his carelessness. This being
so, you certainly want your contract,
so that some other person other than
the one whom you select cannot get
onto your farm. You might naturally
suppose that if there were nothing
stated in the contract on this point no
one else except your man could run
the farm, but this position is wrong.
The tenant has a right to sublet to
any one else, unless he agrees in the
contract not to do so. In order to
make yourself safe in this direction.

THE TAX FERREr.s VICTIM.
ISioux City Journal.l

Sioux City Journal.I
The people who have been compelled
by the tax ferret law to pay some sup
port to the state are heartily ashamed
of the legislature responsible for the
statute.-Ceiar Rapids Gazette.
That may be. 1t is fine fun for ev-
erybody when the tax ferret discovers
that some man with a little money to
spare has loaned it on a 6 per cent
mortgage aud the assessing board
fixes things so the loaner shall pay
2 per cent interest on that mortgage.
1t Is huge joke on the lender, and
the community is quite ready to smile.
But the laugh isn't going to last long
at the expense OF the money leader.

NON-lINGUISTIC.
French and British Handicapped by

Indifference.
Among all the nations of the civil
ized world, or at all events of Europe,
the French have hitherto been the
most perfectly c~ontented with absc-
lutte ignorance of the spoken Ian
guages of neighboring communities.
Our own country is sufficiently back
ward in this regard. but there is a
marked shade of difference between
the Indifference of English people to
the tongues of other closely connected
and kindred nationalities and the at
titude of mind assumed in similar re-
lations Of the immense majority Of
Frenchmen. The latter are proud OF
the refinement of their language rs
an instrument for conveying thought.
The incapacity Of the average Eng
lishman to express himself in any Ian
guage save his own Is due partly to
lack of imagination, partly to a half
conscious belief hat everything which
is worth saying at all a be said in
English fully as well as in any other
tongue, and, very largely because the
absence of confidence in his mastery
of any other idiom or accent makes
him shy and indisposed, as he would
say, to make an exhibition of him.

A Bank TeIIer's Tale.

longing to Sam Dunseith, good for one
year, the price being $1,000 an acre."
said the bank teller.
Before the expiration of the time
the company offered payment, which
Dunseith refused. He wanted more.
The man could not legally demand it,
but the company, wishing to avoid a
lawsuit, asked my opinion in the mat
ter. | suggested payment in one-dollar
bills.
81 obtained a large coin sack, and
counted out the three thousand ones.
Sorting them separately and crumpling
them all up, l thrust them into the
sack, which looked like a bag of
feathers. The President of the corn
pany, together with a lawyer and a
clerk as witness, proceeded to the
house of Dunseith and again proffered
payment which was again refused.
Walking over to the large table in the
centre of the room, the president cut
the string and dumped the contents of
the sack in a huge pile on the table.
b" Here is your three thousand dol
larsi Will you take it?'
THE farmer was amazed at the pile
of money, more than he had ever seer
before. He stammered out:
