AS usual, there is loud complaint
from farmers that the children brought
up on the farm are getting uneasy and
want to try their wings elsewhere.
This is not to be wondered at when
these young people hear and read of
what is going ON in the world. The
monotony of country life seems unbear-
able to them, especially when from the
farm they obtain only plenty of hard
work, the food they eat and the
clothes they wear. True, one may say
that is about all any one gets out of
life, but if we can plan some way
by which the young people can make
start for themselves they will be
much more contented.
Poultry offers a way of trying out
the feeling Of the young folks at small
expense. Give them a chance to raise
poultry and have the proceeds for their
own use, and in year or two they
will have become reconciled to coun-
try life and be willing to make it
their future or they will have shown
their utter lack of adaptability for it,
in which case the best thing for them
and for the parent is to let them leave
the farm and take up the work for
which they are better fitted, but don't
lose your grasp on the young people
without first giving them a chance
to do for themselves on the farm and
show what is in Acknowledgements

ANCIENT HISTORY.

NNSNON~-N-O0o
when the bells on a rural telephone
circuit began merrily jingling one June
morning half dozen young women in
as many farmhouses forsook every
thing else, and with paper and pencil
Oetore them took up the receivers. II
was the agreed time for a review of
ancient history, prior to the final ex-
ANIMATION in the consolidated" high
school on Monday.
i say, girls said the first voice
when all were ready, what does any,
body know about Moses?"
"oh. that's easy, Henrietta" was
the answer along the line. Born 1913.
went into exile 1893, came back to
Egypt 1858 and led the Hebrews out
or bondage. He died when he was a
hundred and twenty years old"
Please say those dates again,
Ethel"
Seventeen-thirty-eight sixteen-nine-
ty-eight, sixteen-ffty eight"
Aren't you saying them backward?"
why, no, stupid. It's B. c."
That's Backward Counting you
know, Henrietta" interrupted a third
voice.
"Ch, yes, of course. l ought to have
known. But say, girls, that's just
what l want to know about. How did
you do it?'
do what"
why, keep track Of what year it
was when they had to count back
ward. Do you suppose Moses knew
how old he was going to be when he
died, and kept saying, I was a hundred
and twenty when l was born, in sew
enteen-eighteen I'll be a hundred
and 50 on til he died?
"Of course not. They counted their
ages forward"
What l want to know" said voice
number four, sis how they knew what
year to begin to count with. Now Of
course we are adding a figure every
year. We started with the year one
This is nineteen-four of course, and
next will be nineteen-fve. But how
did those old-timers know in seventeen
thirty-eight B. c. that it was going to
be just that many years to the year
zero, or to whatever they called it be-
fore our reckoning began?"
Into the transmitters of half a dozen
telephones and along a dozen miles of
wire was launched a confused murmur
Of exclamation and query. At last it
quieted down when the calm voice of
Henrietta was heard coming down the
line.
"Oh, 1 can answer that one myself,
girls" she said. "It was started that
way, and all they had to do was to
keep track. It's marked here in the
Bible that Adam was born in four
thousand and four, and of course,
knowing that, all he had to do was to
subtract one every year. 1t was bound
to come out even"

An AmpIified Woman.

THE car was entirely empty, with
the exception Of one man." said Miss
Myra Kelly. He was the reverse Of
the car. AS entered he rose, made
me an unsteady but magnificent bow
and said:
Madam, phleashe be kind 'nough
to asshept thish plashe' There was
nothing else for me to do, so thanked
him and sat down.
And for twenty blocks that idiot
hung from a strap, swaying in the
breeze, with not a soul in the car
but ourselves. Occasionally have
been taken for other women; but l
never before had any one think that
l was car full"

Oldest Theater in the Countrv.

The oldest theater in America, the
Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia,
is virtually to be torn down and a
modern playhouse substituted. This
theater has rounded out nearly a cen
tury of life as a purveyor Of amuse-
ment to the people Of the Quaker City.
1t was built in 1909 and about all Of
the great American actors and actress
es who have appeared before the foot
lights since that time have trod its
boards.

Price OF Theater Seats.

There is much talk about the high
prices charged for seats in the thea
ters Of Eastern cities. Apropos of this
is a story Of Boston o1-ottice man
and a young man from the country.
The latter confidently approached the
vendor Of tickets, and inquired:
Whats your best seats worth to-
day."
Two dollars" was the reply.
The rustic hesitated for a minute,
and then pityingly drawled:
Say, l don't want to take the seat
away"

The fool-killer sat in his easy chair

When child had a very severe at
tack of Diphtheria which came nearprov-
ing fatal. Upon recovery the glands of the
neck were very much enlarged, and after
the free use of iodine, the right one was
reduced to its normal size, but the left
one continued to grow-very slowly at
first, until it was about the size of goose
egg, which began to press on the wind
pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be-
came very painful. An incision was made
and a large quantity of pus discharged.
The gland was removed, or as much as
could with safety be taken out. For ten
years wore little piece of cloth about an
inch long in my neck to keep the place
open. During this time I had to have it
cut open by the doctor every time took
cold or the opening clogged. In the Spring
or early Summer Of 1884 was persuaded
by my wife to use S. S. S., which I did,
strictly in accordance with directions. I
took twenty-six large bottles and was en-
tirely cured, for I have not suffered since

DIED

At his residence IN Evening
Shade on Saturday, March o,
1904, Capt. John M. Wassm, in
the SEVENTEEN year of his age.
Captain Wasson was born near
Smfthvillc, but removed to- Even
ing Shade in his young manhood,
where he lived an upright and
much respected citizen for more
than fifty years. At the begin
ming of the civil war he espoused
the cause of the South and enter
ed military service in 1861 as
lieutenant, in the first company
recruited in Sharp county, under
Col. VIM. G.. Matheny, and when
Col. Matheny was promoted to
Lieutenant Colonel of his regi-
ment Captain Wasson was given
command of the company. He
served throughout the war and
was in many engagements, in all
of which he was noted for dis
tinguished gallantry, returning,
after the surrender, from a service
in which he had made every COM
rade lifelong friend. He was
soon after reconstruction, elected
clerk of the circuit court, which
position he held two terms. Cap
tain Wasson was made a Mason
in Evening Shade Lodge No. 143,
nearly forty-four years ago, and
upon his written request made
more than year before his death,
he was laid to rest by his mother
lodge, brethren from Ash Flat,
Antioch, Cave City, Reeds Creek
and Gainsboro lodges participate
ing in the funeral service.
For many years previous to his
death Captain Wasson had been
a consistent member of the Christi
ian church and many members OF
that church and others visited
him in his long affliction and fol-
lowed his remains to their last
resting place.
He leaves a widow and seven
children surviving him, among
them Mrs. w. G. Snow and Mrs.
W. A. Edwards Of Evening Shade
and Mrs. Thos. B. Love OF
Franklin, and a host of friends to
mourn his loss. May all his
friends find consolation in the
beautiful thought OF the talthlui
Christian
"There Is no DEATH Although we grieve
When beautiful, familiar forms
That we have learned to love are torn
From our embracing arms''
"Although with bowed and breaking heart,
| With sable garb and silent tread.
We bear their senseless dust to rest,
And say that they arc dead"
''They are not dead! They have but passed
Beyond the msts that blind US here
Into the new and larger life
Ofthat serener sphere -
