4 SUCCESSFUL SALESMAN.

Out Purchaser Thought Him
q Wonder

The late Thomas Bracket Reed used to
relate the following incident which hap
pened one summer while he was spending
a few days in small fishing village on the
New England coast, says the New York
Times.
A young countryman who had been adj
vised to take sea baths registered at the
village hotel one evening, and shortly after
ward sauntered down to the beach. Espy-
ing grizzled old. fisherman mending has
nets beneath sign which informed one
that B had boats and tackle to let and
bait for sale. he accosted the veteran and
asked him if the water was not for sale
also. On receiving an affirmative reply
the countryman returned to the hotel, ob,
the price asked, filled them and returned
to his room to carry out the doctors IN
structions.

Russian Public Houses.

A remarkable scene was witnessed q
few years ago, when the car of Russia
ordered that the private manufacture
of vodka (the national drink) should
cease, and that the business should be
on temperance lines. The new state
monopoly was inaugurated in a re-
markable way Priests attended at all
the drinking shops by official com.
mand, and conducted special services.
The public houses we're dedicated to
God, and prayers offered that under the
new regime drunkenness might be
abolished and the spiritual welfare Of
the people improved.

FARM HELPER TALKS BACK.
He Is Evidently Tired Of the One

It is very seldom one picks up farm

petite, and his love for you is tenfold
stronger.
Find fault with everything he does,
whether right or wrong; it does him
good: he will stay with you that much
longer. Always go around with a
long and sour face. Eat as fast as you
can at the table. If you talk to the
farmland at all during meals tell him
about some article you have read re-
lating to the poor quality Of farmhands
at the present time. Take plenty Of
farm papers-six at least, one for
every weekday.
Make the farmland do all the hard
work. Use walking plows, but II you
have riding plow use that yourself;
walking is good for the hired mans
legs. Send him out to cultivate corn
about four in the morning with good
fast team, and keep him at 1t until
about 30 minutes after shutdown. Prob
ably you will have IL cows for him to
milk, and other work to keep him go
ing two hours after he leaves the field.
When a new hand comes give him all
the hard work you can find for the first
few days; that is the way to break in
tender muscles. The farmland likes
this treatment, and will probably stay
with you.
Put the farmland in the hottest bed
room in summer and the coolest In
winter. Be sure to have a hard bed;
he likes it; it makes him tough. These
things will help in keeping farmhands
from leaving you.-Breeders' Gazette.

Good and Bad Feeding.

question Of great importance. 1t Is
often remarked that this and that
breeder failed because he bought ami
mails of fancy breeding points and
then gave them scrub care. This is al
ways a fatal mistake. The pure
bred animals have received many
backsets in reputation from this cause.
Take any Of our best strains Of hogs
and let them be turned into poor
feed lot and be given little grass and
much corn. A few generations Of that
kind of feeding will give us scrub
progeny with good set OF pedigrees.
That is case where the pedigree is
worth less than nothing. It Is not

good line of ancestors; it is necessary

OLD COLLEGE CLASSES.
Plans Formed in the Fullness Of
Youthful Ambition Have Not
All Been Worked Out.

It was graduated half century ago
in prehistoric time, SO it seems to the
class of the current year. But in 1854
q group of young men stood on the
threshold, looking out into the un-
known. This month they are old men
those who have survived-and instead
Of looking forward their eyes are on
the past, wistfully, maybe, and'now and
then dimmed with tears, says Youths
Companion.
The dreams of their youth, where
are they now? The young lawyer was
going to end his days on the supreme
court bench, but somehow things were
ordered differently. The young preach
er hoped by his eloquence to sway
multitudes in the city, but he has kept
only a handful in the country true to
their heavenly vision. The physician
planned to manage hospital, but it
has turned out that it's wards have been

On the other hand, the youth who
was going back to the farm, who was
regarded by his classmates as q hum
drum fellow destined to live and die
obscure, is now conspicuous leader in
congress
There is probably not one in all that
class whose life has been ordered even
approximately as he had dreamed. This
does not mean that the men have not
succeeded. Some of them have sue
ceeded far more abundantly than they
expected, but in different way. What
a man of 20 regards as success is usual
ly more gentle and human and kind
ly thing than that which youth calls
by that name.

latter for my baggage. Relays of horses
were posted every six miles, and the lit
tie afternoons drive of Sc miles was
done under the four hours.
Govinghur was my destination, and
here I found an imposing camp, as the
agent to the governor general for the
central provinces was paying his Off
cial visit to Rewah. Christmas day was
devoted to sports, which the maharajah
personally conducted on horseback, and
the event of the day was an elephant race.
The pace at which these unwieldly-
looking creatures numbered along was
considerable. They were urged by the
yells and prods of the mahout, and also
by men on foot with long spears. The
beasts evidently quite understood what
was going on, and their furious dashes
at each other could hardly have escaped
being classed as foul riding.
Hawking is one of the favorite amuse-
ments in Rewah, and amongst the spec
tators at the sports there were several
with hawks on their arm. l photo
graphed one, giving him as companion
one of the men who acted as "whipper-
in" to the elephants during the race.
Next day the private preserves were
driven. The various passes up which
game is expected to go are each COM
manded by a comfortable stone-built
stand. The heaters on foot were over
1000, and besides these there we're q
troop of Rewah cavalry and about 30
elephants. Much was expected, and my
hopes rose as heard heavy firing on my
right; but nothing came my way except
some "lady" sambuck, accompanied by
one stag too small to shoot. used my
camera instead of my rifle. The total
bag only consisted of two sambur stays.
One bear was missed, and two leopards
we're said to have broken back, besides
many sambur. A day at the ducks came
next, then more sports, including camel
race; this, unfortunately, took place too
late in the afternoon to photograph it.
The only thing they seemed to me to be
like was a water-logged ship rolling in
heavy sea.
After the departure of the maharajah
and the officials, betook myself to the
jungles in search of big game. One
morning we were very close On large

DECLARATION IS uNFADEp.
Original Draft Of Je6erson's Mani
festo Of Independence Yet
Perfectly Legible.

Although the official copy Of the Dec
laration Of independence was recently
deposited in q steel safe, to prevent il
fading away completely, Jefferson's
original draft of that great manifesto
may still be seen in the library of the
state department in Washington. The
ink on this paper seems peculiarly
strong, states Youths Companion.
The erasures and interlineations tes-
tify to the care with which Jefferson
worked out the eloquent sentences.
Wherever change was made by either
of his principal collaborators-Benja-
min Franklin and John Adams took
pains to note it by inserting in the mar
gin: "Dr. Franklin's handwriting" or
'Mr. Adams handwriting, in order that
the exact limits of his own authorship
might never be disputed.
This is one Of the papers of the old
congress of the confederation. 1t was
put into the custody of the state depart
ment when that executive branch was
organized. Some visitors doubted that
this famous paper was really in Jeffer-
sons handwriting. To satisfy them the
department officers had framed by Its
side, from their Jefferson papers, the
slip on which he wrote out directions for
his burial.
Aside from furnishing evidence of the
genuineness of the handwriting, these
directions are appropriate there, because
they give Jefferson's own estimate OF
the importance of the Declaration. He
described the sfmpl, monument which
was to stand over his remains, and then
wrote for it this inscription, specifying
that it should contain mot a word
more"

Jefferson's first title to fame remains
preeminent. Few documents we're ever
penned which had so great an effect on
history. The principles of freedom
which it contains have not faded from
the minds of men, even though the ink
Jefferson used has begun to lose its
brililance He lived long enough to
know that the world agreed with his
estimate of the immortal declaration,
for he did not die till July 4, 1926, tho
fftieth anniversary of its adoption.
