Farmer las Benefltted.


The farmer has benefited quite as much
as the manufacturer. the merchant, and
the wage-worker. The most welcome and
Impressive fact established by the last
census is the wide and even distribution
of wealth among all classes of our coun-
trymen. The chief agencies in producing
this distribution are shown by the census
to be the development of manufactures.
and the application of new inventions
to universal use The result has been
an increasing interdependence of agricul-
ture and manufactures Agriculture is
now, as it always has been, the basis
of civilization. The six million farms of
the United States. operated by men who,
as : class. are steadfast, single minded.
and Industrious, form the basis of all
other achievements of the American peo-
pie and are more fruitful than all their
other resources The men on those six
million farms receive from the protective
tariff what they most need. and that Is
the best of all possible markets All 9TH
er classes depend upon the farmer, but
the farmer in turn depends upon the mar
ket they furnish him for his produce

What She Said and Did.

Taller than by at least half head
He surely must be, with a face bright

His eyes I'd prefer Of a violet blue,
His hair a light brown or very warm
gold;
He must sing-a fine tenor and play
nicely, too,
And tell as good stories as ever were
told.
No smoking allowed, for the weed

And, of course, no remarks that are
rude or i'll bred;
And I'd like him to always be stylishly
dressed;

And then the maid married-she did,

A three score old fellow much shorter
than she,
Who wore black wig that but awk-
wardly hid
A pate that no balder could possibly
be,
And his voice was creak, and he
growled like bear,
And his nose it was red, and dull
gray were his eyes,
And he'd sit by the hour and stupidity
stare,
And he never said anything witty or
wise.
And he smoked clay pipe, and from
morning till night
In his mouth held of strongest tobacco
quid;
And he dressed--but enough, he had
two millions quite,
And she married him gladly-she did
