HIGH SCHOOL CLASS DAY.
Graduates Held Exercises Last Night
at Auditorium.

The annual class day exercises were
given by the seniors of the Walla Walla
high school last evening to large and
audience. Miss Angie
Sheldon as president of the class spoke
we'll, while Miss Perry delivered the
class poem in a faultless manner. Miss
Sweetser was entrusted the honor of
handing down the class cane. The eX-
ercises concluded with a laughable
play and it must be said that if the
Young people can surmount difficulties
and evade trouble in their future life
as easily as they did in the play they
will have an easy time of it. The

from you.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-While visiting some
friends in Onslow County three weeks ago / saw
The Progressive Farmer and enjoyed reading it
very much. / also saw the two dear Chatterers-
Rebecca and Sister Kate. They are two very
sweet ladies. l also noticed that one sister in the
Social Chat signed her name Patience. I like the
name. l wonder how many of us have patience
in times of troubles, and how many of us young
people have the patience to persuade our little sis
tiers or brothers to do right instead of scolding
to make them do to please us? How many teach
the little ones their prayers at night and of the
glory of heaven and the horror of sin; and how
many of US take the time at night to help the lit
tie ones to get their lessons instead of letting
them study until their little minds are tired and
their heads ache?
There are but few that realize the meaning of
Patience, Duty and Friendship. I sometimes
think if we had more patience, and tried harder
to do our duty, and would be more friendly, we
shouldn't have as many enemies, and there might
be more souls saved. 1t is our duty to de every
thing that is right, and it is right to do everything
good that is in our power. We do not often find

A Little Talk About Reading.

Dear Aunt Jennie :-The realm of literature is
too wide for most of us to hope to know it very
thoroughly; but I can conceive of no excuse for
any person who can read at all, yet who chooses
to remain totally ignorant of the best books. Did
you ever notice in a company discussing books
someone who remained hopelessly silent and plain
ly uncomfortable? Did you not almost unconsci-
ously pity that person? Yet this embarrassment
when with better informed people is one of the
little things of the case. If you can imagine
what your life would be if the memory of all the
books you have read and loved was blotted out,
you can realize something of what he has missed.
Yet how many are doing this thing solely be-
cause they choose to do so. / know young men
and women who consider themselves accomplish
ed yet they know practically nothing of Scott or
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-05-03

Irving, Emerson or Milton, Shakespeare or the
Bible. 1t may be surprising to hear that there
are supposedly educated people who are unac-
quainted with the Bible but anyone who will in
v~estigate the matter will find this to be the case.
Think of what that person has lost who has not
thought it worth while to read the story of Jo-
seph or Ruth or Jesus.
1t is bad enough to be ignorant of Longfellow
or Tennyson; but not to knowIsaiah or Job is in
excusable. The man or woman who Is not famil-
lar with Bible stories and Bible teachings is GER
tainly to be pitied. For the Bible is not only the
basis of our religion, but has for centuries been
so interviewer with literature and laws, customs
and manners of speech that it is an essential
part of every phase of our life. Like the force
of gravitation, it's influence is ever present and
ever active. Yet there are people who have
chosen to grow up so ignorant of it that they
could not tell whether it was Samuel or Solomon
who killed Goliath, or just what Samson had to
do with the fall of the walls of Jericho.
If [ might presume to give advice to parents
and teachers I would say: "See that for the
children under your care access to the world of
books is made easy and pleasant. Let them
know the Arabian Nights and Robinson Crusoe,
Hawthorne and Dickens and Uncle Remus, and be
sure that he learns about Moses and Daniel; for
beyond the gates of literature lies the golden land
of happy dreams and wonderful fancies and noble
ambitions"
So to the young man or woman who does not
Ike to read l would say: "You know not what
you are missing. Take up your Bible and see If
you can't find something interesting; before you
have exhausted it, you will have learned to appre-
ciate Whittier and Longfellow, Tennyson and
Milton and all that goodly company into whose
works it has entered so largely" E.

OUR SOCIAL CHAT
All letters intended for this department should be ad-

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

What a bright beautiful morning and how I
should enjoy fishing to-day with. a party of
friendsi But alas! I am in the city and the river
is miles distant. Happiness letter caused this
longing for outdoor life. We have our flowers,
but they, too, must grow in conventional beds or
in prim little pots, and our birds must sing be-
hind the bars of some cruel old cage. Even
our water must be paid for, and sometimes I feel
grateful that we can breathe a long, full breath
of pure, sweet invigorating air without extra pay
for the pleasure afforded us. Had I been reared
in a city, perhaps things would seem different,
but having once realized the delights of country
life causes at times an impressible longing to
roam again amid the forests and fields and be
free-away from the habitations of man, or at
least far enough away to throw off all convention
alities and hea: the pulsating of natures great
heart and listen to the whisperings of the pines.
IT'S well for man to be associated with his fell
lows, but to forsake all solitude is to forget how
wonderful is nature and thrust God in a corner to
be partially viewed on Sunday perhaps, and for
gotten the rest of the weak. A man or woman
who is perpetually busy, whose every moment
must count for dollars or cents, has little time for
contemplation and must needs forget self in the
struggle, and forgetting self, he thinks little of
his fellow-man. Many men have degenerated and
are now simply machines, thinking little and car
ing less for all save the Office and the magic of
dollars.
Is this right? Have they no responsibilities as
men? Can it be possible that they believe that
they were created for no higher purpose than to
turn that same old wheel year in and year out,
eat three meals a day, sleep soundly at night,
and let this old world with it's freight of human
souls jog on to destruction, if it will, and pay
no heed to its going? How can they be so blind
when so much depends on their seeing and feel
ing an interest in things surrounding them9
Some one has suggested that sel6shness prompts
them in the beginning and then gives place to
stolid Indifference. This may be true, for selfish
ness can do wonders with us if we do not chafe
at the bit and refuse to wear the bride.
Our letters are good this week. Let us hear
from you. AUNT JENNIE.

Frem a Burke County Farm.

Dear Aunt Jennie: Il am sitting by a good fire
this the 18th of April. We had a heavy frost
yesterday morning; I fear the fruit is all killed.
The poplar trees were looking beautiful, but their
green is turned to brown. Tomatoes and cab
bage plants were frozen. I had not set out any,
so mine escaped. I am sorry for those who lost
theirs.
l went fishing to-day; had fine sport; every
fish [ caught fell back in the water. I am going
to try again tomorrow. I hope to get some, as
I am going to the river.
I have been very busy planting out flowers and
shrubbery as it is a new home we have moved
to. | planted fower-seed to-day. I know I am
late about it, but [ thought the weather too cold
to plant any sooner. [ read the articles on beauti-
flying the homes. It was just what the farmers
needed. If it were not for the farmers wives and
daughters the farms would be desolate places. /
passed a house not long since; the building was a
good one, but there were rags in the front yard,
rags in the back yard and everywhere else I
think, even hanging on the telephone wire along
the big road in front of the house. Well, I
thought that farm could be called Ragtown. We
call our farm Hollybrook, as there are so many
beautiful holly trees along the creek. I think
every farmer should call his farm by some pretty
name.
/ have been in the woods to-day hunting wild
flowers. [ found a quantity of trailing arbutus;
it is SO pretty and very fragrant. found heart
leaves with the pretty little pitchers at the roots.
There was a vine with brown flowers but no
leaves. [ do not know it by name, and was afraid
to touch it for fear of poison.
We have rural free delivery now; it brings our
mail to our door once a day. 1t certainly IS an
improvement on going to town once a week to get
our mail in busy times with farmers. | hope we
shall have a telephone before many years roll by.
HAPPINESS.

TIE PROGRESSIVE FARMER

anything in life that is really more beautiful than
real, true, unmeasured friendship. The word
friend is often used when acquaintance would
sound far better. Most of us can number our
acquaintance by the score, but how many of
us can say we have a dozen true friends?
Friendship is an oft-abused and much-misplaced
word. When we would know who our real, true
friends are, we should not undertake to number
them when we are enjoying prosperity and know
nothing of want, because should we at such a
time make the attempt to ascertain the number of
our friends we may make the sad mistake of
counting even those who are our enemies, among
those whom we think are our surest friends, SO
hard is it at times to discriminate one from the
other, not outstanding the vastness of the real
difference between them. A person who has money
and pleasant surroundings and occupies a high
position in life and society is never apparently
wanting for any number of friends, friends who
would do anything for him or her; friends who
can never do enough to show their love and es-
TEEN. But let this same person who is blest by
such a multitude of friends ca be overtaken by
misfortunes, let his fortune be swept away and
let him be left a penniless man in the world
then look and 10! where are those hosts of friends,
those who focked around him so short a time
ago offering such a glad and willing service? Last
week, last month or a year ago when he was
enjoying the good things of the world to so large
a measure and counted himself as wanting moth
ing, his friends were oh, so numerous, so ready
to give him any help, so full of praise and adora-
ton for him; but now where are those dear
friends? He wants them now; he would be glad
of a hearty welcome, a kind word, a friendly hand
shake, and few words of sympathy and encourage
ment. But where is he to go to find any of these
that his very heart and soul are so yearning
for?
Perhaps out of that large number of so-called
friends there are now in his days of misfortune
and want only one or two who are as ready to give
him assistance, to offer him a friendly hand and
sa~ as warmly and readilv as in those other days,
"My friend" Who will say those two are not
worth more to him now than all those others
who were so profuse with their greetings be-
fore, but who pass by him now with only a slight
and cold inclination of the head?
We have all heard the old saving: a friend in
need is a friend indeed, but perhaps few of us
ever appreciate how true is this old saying! SO
if we wish to know who our friends are, let us
number them in the time of our troubles and
hardships, for at no other time can we be sure of
who they are, and when we are once sure we have
a friend, let us value that friendship, for it is
worth more to us than we can tell.
Yours truly,
