Shock.-Mr. William /. Shock, died at the
home of his brother, Mr.. Ira e. Shock, in
Towson on Tuesday last. He was 40 years of

mother, who is 81 years of age, survives him.
The Editors Burden.-Under this head
the st. Louis Christian ADVOCATE says: THAT
is to say one of the EDITORS burdens-or part
of his general burden, is the worry over I'M
readable manuscripts and this is far greater
and more constant infection than is generally
believed Sometimes we jest about the matter,
but it is smile out of tears, laugh to hide a
groan. And to our ordinary annoyance is add
ed an extra bill from the typesetters for time
lost in trying to decipher most-impossible to.
be-deciphered-(as was the case day or two
ago)-the burden becomes almost unbearable.
Nov, most generally this is the result OF
egotsm, so great as to produce an utter disre-
gard for the conventions or even the ordinary
courteses due in all such cases. The manu-
script may indeed be of such transcendent
value and far-reaching Importance as to justify
an outlay of strength or patience to secure such
gem for the paper-it may be palimpsest
faintly-very faintly-revealing glimpses of
immortal truths-but very often, if not very
generally, we have never found them worth
the expense and labor involved.
ut is possibly true that great men some
times write wretchedly-but we know there
are many who are not great that do the same.
And the really great man, unwilling to be the
cause of sin in others, generally has the grace
to employ typewriter.
Friends, countrymen! Hear us for our
cause! Write-write-write. We are always
glad to hear from you. But, oh, write with
pen, with good ink-write distinctly take time
there is plenty off Write on good paper
not scraps-and not on both sides. And do
not ask the editor to correct mistakes and fix
it up for you. He has enough trouble taking
care of his own sins Think on these things
and teach them to your children and then will
the editor in all generations rise up and call
YOU blessed"

Some Reasons Why Il Don't Pay.-As
the last meeting of the Fallston Farmers Clup
the principal subject discussed was: some OF
the reasons why some farms do not pay" We
append the views Of some OF taose Presentf the
reasons is due to ignorance. For instance "a
applying fertilizer, one does not know the neeos
Of the soil another is, we allow manure TO De
wasted and buy commercial fertilizers. Many
times there are little things neglected and put
off causing considerable loss. Many farms 90
not pay because the farmers do not have Inc
money to make them pay"
Mr.. J. w. Moore said: 'It is the man behlnd
the gun; one man can take farm and make
it pay, and another, who has not the ability,
will make a failure"
essential to succeed, adaptability. economy and
perseverance. Make study of the needs OF
the soil, as many use lime when it is not
needed; consult agricultural books and pa
pers." :
guess it is bad management; 1t takes hustler
to run a farm"
Mr.. J. B. Twining said "a great deal Of
carelessness in leaving machinery in the fence
corners is big drain it is the little things
that count. If person likes farming he Will
make a better success"
Mr.. w. G. Hoskins said II think in many
cases the man is not adapted to the business.
know man who produces lot of milk when
it is not wanted, and much is lost. Many do
not live within their means. The man must
be adapted to the business to succeed"
Mr.. Robert Preston said: Lack of knowl-
edge, energy and capital. One to be success
full farmer must know many things, and must
do things at the proper time. We have the
weediest garden we have had for long time.
because we had other things to do and could
not cultivate it at the right time. There is
always a right time to do things, or there will
be loss"
Mr.. James O. Watson said IF we would 60
out with our help much more could be accom-
plished than if we send them alone, as much
time is wasted
Mr.. w. A. Harlan said: Zone reason why
some farms do not pay is that too much is I'M
dertaken and the work is not done thoroughly.
nor in the right time. Another is some farms
are too poor to pay, as the products will not
pay the cost of production. Poor stock is kept
when it would cost less to keep good. Fertili-
zers are bought on time, when twenty per cent.
could be saved by paying cash and buying in
larger quantity. Weeds are allowed to get
start and thereby cause greater expense in Gull
tivation."
Mr.. Robert Preston asked the advice of the
club when to SOW wheat on field he is now
blowing. He was advised to SOW from Septem-
Der 10Th to Both, with amajority favoring from
18th to Goth.

Child Loses Life in Burning House.--A
3-year-old son of Mr.. Harry G. Held, of Tow
son, lost its life in shocking manner in a fire
that destroyed its home about $50 o clock on
Tuesday morning last. The fire is believed to
have started from the kitchen stove. Mrs. Held
lighted fire in the stove and went to pump
in the yard to get some water. When she re-
turned she found the kitchen full of smoke.
She at once went into the house and taking her
youngest child, an infant three months old, in
her arms, she called to her other two children
to follow her and rushed out of the house.
Her little girl kept with her and escaped, but
the boy became confused, and when he reach
ed the kitchen was overcome by the suffocating
smoke and fell to the floor. The Towson en-
CINE arrived about this time and e. Clinton
Bosley, the driver, dashed into the kitchen and
brought the little fellow out but it was too
late, as he had been too horribly burned to re-
cover, and shortly afterward died. The moth
