IF ever Won lived on a farm YOU we're

If ever you lived on farm you were
glad when the days of October came
Take look at the frost tinted leaves on
the trees and think of the days of boy
hood. They were golden days. Mem.
DRY is so kind that she colors even sorrow
and brings smile, and makes you real
ize that the great happiness in the life Of
a human being almost always comes
during youth. Things haven't changed
down on the farm. There is the spot
where, under the warm rays of an Octo-
Der sun, you curied up and watched the
clouds and imagined things. Romance
filled your soul, and you saw ships, giants,
mountains, all drifting lazily far above a
boy on farm. This October is much
the same as those in the halcyon days.
Materially prospects are good for a
bountitul crop next season. The fall
sown grain is growing nicely the recent
rains being of much benefit. Everyone
is enjoying these golden Indian summer
days. Millions of boys on the farm are
happy as you once were. Millions like
yourself are enlisted in the great war of
life but are enjoying prosperity and con-
tentment Blessed October but more
blest, memory.

y onte md roavr ~ A1anae - ea,xcl, ri
game this week. Surrounded by a STU
pendous and sublime mechanism of ma
ture in mountain, lake and river, cano-
pied by armament of ethereal blue,
bespangled with gems of brilliant light,
untrammeled by the restraint of society
and artificial wants of civilization, he
ought to be having a glorious time. In
the balmy and genial atmosphere OF
Icaho, guarding his rations by night and
stalking the wild forest denizens by day
explosing an arena of nature, changing
his locality as the vicissitudes of the
weather and the increase of focks and
herds dictate, we don't know whether to
expect him back or not. Absorbed in
the contemplation of the stellar universe
and the various phenomena of the noctur-
nal heavens mere mechanical conditions
cannot excite interest. Leave plenty OF
white margin when you hear the hunting
stories forthcoming.
