SURE CURE FOR ENVY
HOW ONE GIRL FINDS cCNSoLA.

A Visit to Those Whom She Thinks
Better Situated Than Herself Gen
orally Leaves Her contented with
Her Lot.

IF there is anything that will cure
one of envy it is to cultivate the per.
son of whom she is envious," said the
philosophical girl. Il never feel dis
contented very long if only can get
a nearer view of what has made me
unhappy. Sometimes it seems as if l
would be perfectly happy if only
had the leisure Of some of my we'll
to-do friends. Then l clap on my hat
and jacket and go to spend an hour
with one of them. find them Dor.
ing themselves to death, devising all
sorts OF schemes to kill time. and
signing because their life is not full
of snap and business as mine is.
when l have big longing for an
extensive wardrobe just run over to
call on my next door neighbor, who
has a new gown nearly every hour
l discover her in a stew about them,
fussing with dressmakers all the time
and grooming because she must deter
mine what to put on. Then l con-
gratulate myself that have only
three gowns to my name and SO am
never undecided what to wear.
Sometimes it seems as if | would
be supremely happy If only had a
pretty face, and then l cultivate that
little Miss Doll Pretty. And do you
know she Is very much concerned
If the tiniest wrinkle appears on that
pink.and-white complexion of hers
and that she is extremely jealous OF
any other good-looking girls, and that
sometimes she cries because she will
grow old some day and be no longer
pretty? Well, she does, and so !
come to the conclusion that my plain
face is good sight more comfort.

And I'll confess a secret to you,

rough. making unloading at such times
impossible. Transfer is made by ma

A GREENSBORO FRAUD?

Speaking of assertions in the pa
pers about adulterated goods, the
Ohio Farmer said lately that flour is
adulterated, the adulterant coming
from Greensboro, n. @. The publ
cation in question says that Green's
boro is the head center of the fraud,
and that if the rascality is still GO
ing on there it may be that their
correspondent (from Kentucky has
obtained some of the stuff To this
the American Miller makes a sting
ing rejoinder and says that the Ohio
Farmer cannot "show a single in
stance of -four adulteration" of this
kind. Sometimes corn meal is mixed
with -four, but this would do no
harm. When a paper like the Ohio
Farmer makes such statements it
should be mighty sure of it's stand.
The publication of falsehoods is, as
the American Miller says, "worse
than yellow; it is devilish." The
Progressive Farmer might throw
some light upon the Greensboro
product and thus instruct and edify
it's contemporaries. The American
Miller asserts that not an ounce Of
this stuff was ever sold from
Greensboro. r. A. D.

Our New York Letter.
Editors Progressive Farmer:


The time is coming when the curse
of betting on horse races has got to
be throttled by legislative action.
The amount of money spent by the
people who can i'll afford to lose
single dollar is simply appalling in
the aggregate, and so insistent are
the betters that they cannot all be
accommodated and long lines of them
are left ''unsatisfed." 1t is leading
to the downfall of many a man, and
homes are reported almost daily as
broken up by this Internal practice.
The habit of betting once formed
seems as hard to throw off as the
opium disease. We're the matter
confined to those who had money
to burn" it would be bad enough; but
the laws of this State allow a man
to beggar a family under the pre-
tence that the races tend to improve
the breed of horsesi Thousands,
doubtless, of women and, children are
every year taken care of by charity
after those who should support them
have sunk the last dollar. There is
a rising sentiment against the prac-
tice, greater this year than ever, and
the tide will rise higher and higher
till this gambling will have to be
STONED.

VACATION.

VACATION.
We are entering upon the vacation
period this week and for the next
two months business will be slack in
almost all lines. This period of rest
fulness is most welcome to employer
and employee. 1t gives all hands a
chance to gain strength for the on
coming rush of trade, and yet there
are those-like Russell Sage-who
berudge this time off. Russell thinks
the clerk almost ought to pay the en-
ployer extra and stay at home. He
never had a vacation, and here he is
hale and hearty and way along in
the eighties. Some day he will take
a long vacation, though, and the
places which know him will know him
no more forever.
UNFoUNDED CHARGE AGAINST GAN.

The Times of this city came out
with an article in big headlines
"Borax Personalities Found Inju

ger In Canned Foods" In fact, not
a word was said in the report about
canned goods, because there is no
occasion to use preservatives IN
canned goods, as they are fully pro-
tected against danger by sterilization
by the application of heat. The re-
ports by the big dailies tend to do
a good deal of harm to the canning
industry all over the country-an in
dustry which has helped. many a
farming section, and if it were de-
stroyed it. would be a tremendous
blow to many communities. There
is, of course, lot of sloppy canned
stuff, but there is nothing deleterious
whatever in canned goods, and the,
evil of "slops" is one against the
pocket-book rather than against the
bodily health. The big stores are

idea of how many things eatable are

BRETIsH ELECTORAL TENDENCIES.

Yet we suppose nothing is more often or more

the tendencies Of the electorate and for fore

Chamberlain began his great tariff reform
campaign. Every election that has occurred
since then has been carefully watched. its re-
