II don't want to see any more of your

was opened and soon thereafter dinner
was served, and Jess, who said he was not
at all hungry, in fact, had about quit

THE REAL FARM E r.
Is Not The "Reuben" of City Folk
But a Man OF ndspe denos.

NJ. X. Boyer In the Farm Journal says
There are quite number Of jokes cracked
AT the expense Of the farmer, or the Reu-
ben" ar city folk delight Ia sty ling him.
But after all the cities are more crowded
with genuine Reuben.-twO to ont-than
can be- found out on Gods broad acres
Look at the list Of financial wrecks
strewn along the shore Of the city. Zee
the thousands who are taken In by

sch mes. by fOOlhardy sPtculations.
n no are these viclims7 Where did they
come from Born and raised In the back
woods. and this their FIRST experience at
making money without wOrk lou
might think 40, but the truth Is they are
city bred and have been raised ON the
yer, threshold upon which they meet their
Waterloo.
The are the men who paint the iarmer
in all sorts Of comic dress and maDntr;
they are the ones who imagine that The
farmer il lacking In brain power and that
the life he leads is one continual happy
go.lucky aifair-an oceupaii that re-
auires no study and which only calls Tor
muscular labor.
The fact that IA man was born aud
raised where brick houses aud pave
ments predominRte is no more proof oi
intelligence than is ignorance established
by birth on farm.
As an unknown writer puts IL. The
farmer of the stage and Il the humorous
press il about IA near like the real tarmer
as the caricatures Of Uncle Sam are like
the real Americans. The man who buys
the gold brick Ia not the ungrammatical
scarcecrOw in cowhide boots and rag
ged hat. with little bunch Of whiskers
on his chin. but the man who thinks the
modern farmer looks like that.
The truth il the American farmer IL up
to date, and ia most sections enjoys
most ol the conveniences of the city, and
these. too, coupled with advantages
that city folk do not have.
Electric light and gas companies are
extending their lines TO the rural dis
tricts, the electric cars go by the farm-
house door, the telephone IL found in the
country home, and the free delivery
brings the mail direct. All these conyen.
fences are costly in the city; they are
comparatively cheap on the farm.
As the prosperity OF the country Is
measured by ts crops. the farmer surely
holds the entire situation in his hands.
v Uho is to be pitied-he who is free and
independent. who enjoys purity OF food f,
of water, Of air, OF life, or he who IL a
slave to Others, who has hand-to-
mouth living. who is compelled TO eat

from several Atlanta ladies OF their
experience with negro women taught

This statement was made by DIT j.

among others Of a similar nature which
precipitated a lively discussion at the
meeting. The discussion at the time
followed the reading of a paper by Dr.

Another statement made by Dr. Olm'

Lieutenant Woodruff was born In
Indiana and entered the service from
the state OF New York. Lieutenant
Hall was born In Alabama and was pro-
NOTED TO his lieutenancy from the
ranks.
When IL was announced last Noyem-
Der that General Wood had captured
and destroyed the mountain fortress OF
the Moros. near Jolo. after a five days
battle. In which 300 OF the natives were
slain. II was believed that the trouble
with the sultans men was at an end.
The expedition under General Wood
returned TO Jolo, and the scattered
Moros were allowed to return to their
homes
II was alleged subsequently that the
Moros. who are Mohammedans. had
been stirred to revolt by the action OF
Colonel Rodgers In burying with a pig
the body OF a fanatic who had been
shot TO death after killing a member OF
b Troop. 10th cavalry. AS the Moham-
medans believe that the touch OF pork
bars them from heaven. this burial was
the greatest insult that could be offered
to them. About 2OOO Moros. armed and
ugly. watched the proceedings from the
plain outside Jolo. and after the troops
withdrew these laid siege to the city
and grew more and more aggressive,
until General Wood sent his expedition
against them.
Previous to this burial, however. the
Moros had been threatening revolt, but
II was hoped that they would be so i'm
pressed that they would be afraid to
take up arms.
The Moros, who are Of the Malay
race. have always been brave lighting
men. and we're never subdued by the
SpanIards. who held only the coasts
within range OF the guns OF their war
ships. Every effort to force way into
the interior had always been defeated
with heavy loss. The American SOL
diers. however. were made OF different
stun. and over two years ago they sue
ceeded in subduing the Moros, VINO
remained apparently peaceable until
