succeed in certain lines, that they
are born machinist or especially to
whatever their calling may be, so why
not say born farmers. Unpleasant sur
roundings have lured many an ideal
farm hand to less lucrative occupation
and one for which he has no appetite
consequently he never attains success.
But at the same time the duty of the
employer must not be lost sight of.
The employer must be just with his
help, he should treat them as he would
like to be treated in their place. While
particular and observant, he should
avoid being too exacting. If ever out
of patience concerning their way of
doing anything, or on account of some
mistake made, it is best to think twice
before speaking once. Always be
performed. Strive as hard to please
the hired man as you would have him
strive to please you. Better consult
one another in regard to work rather
than be over-bearing in your COM
mands. In planning the work, treat
your hired man as though you had
confidence in his Judgment. By pursu-
ing this course, it will do much
toward making the ideal hired hand.
1t is a good place to exemplify the
principle of reciprocity.
The employment of farming is the
most honorable in the world and one
in which pride and pleasure should be
taken far more than it is today. But
the world moves and the day will come
when to be farmer will be to have
reached he heighth of earthly posi-
bilities. Then learn, ideal hired man
to labor and to wait.

Trap the thief. We know that he
has bank account, but he is too
sharp to deposit any Of the stolen
money as soon as this. His boarding
house is in Vine street l believe that
search Of his rooms would discover
the money. Can you remember the
denomination of any of the bills?"
There was good deal Of small
money. but there was one $500 bill 1t

changed it for Slater, the druggist 1t

he said he got it from Williams, the

While l set out to trace the bill the
girl started to investigate Yorke fur
ther. Knowing that he had sister in
distant town, she provided herself
with a travelling bag and drove up to
the house in a hack, and claiming to be
the sister come on brief visit she was
passed up to Yorkes room. She found
that money in ten minutes search. 1t
wasn't hidden away in closet or be-
tween the mattresses or under the car

say:
Nov you go to Mr. Thomas and
show him the affidavit. Then apply for
search warrant and have 1t served
right away. Inside Of two hours your
name will be cleared. and Yorke will
be a much astonished man."
Mr.. Thomas was bit surprised at
my call. He was good deal more sur
prised when handed him the affidavit
and told him about the $500 bill and
added that should apply for search
warrant. 1t took the officer an hour
and half to find the money, as he
was given no hint Of its location. met

solemn meeting in the managers room.

HYBRIDs.

Nature but rarely goes into the n.y.
Bird business when left alone by man.
Her laws governing the reproduction
Of the different species of natural life,
both animal and vegetable, are very
rigid and only In the rarest of cases
ever transgressed. While she provides
in most wonderful manner for the
cross fertilization among the members
of every given species and always ar
bitrarily for the survival of the fittest
as progenitors, the most complete or
der prevails as to the intermingling of
species. For an English sparrow to
take song sparrow for mate, for a
robin to mate with a thrush, or for
the wood thrush to take q mate In the
brown thrush, or for any of the score
or more Of the warbler family, some so
nearly alike that the color Of feather
or two alone gives the family identi-
ty, to mate outside family lines would
be almost as great wonder as for the
sun or the moon to become cratic in
its movements. This unerring fidel-
ity to the law governing natural re-
production is one of the most wonder.
full to be seen In nature. Man, how
ever, steps in and arbitrarily sets aside
this law and secures many types OF
hybrids, some useful and some merely
curiosities. His greatest success in
this line has been with the mule, and
now he is crossing the zebra and the
horse, with some prospect of success.
He has crossed the lion and the tiger
and many other animals which are, SO
to speak, first cousins to each other,
but that this work is contrary to nat
ural law is amply proved by the fact
that all these hybrid productions are
sterile and totally Incapable Of repro
ducing their kind. At best the hybrid
business is rarely a success and is as
little so with regard to man himself
as with the lower forms Of life. The
very worst types of the human race
are the mixed bloods wherever found.

The IDEAL Hired Man.

That there is such a person as an
ideal hired man will not admit Of q
doubt, although there may be some
that will question the fact. Now there
being such person the question is
raised :. Must he be found or can he
be made, and if so, how?" He is a
person that has already been found and
as a rule is found stopping for con-
siderable length of time in one and
the same place. AS a rule he is not a
verv migratory person, but on the
contrary, one that is seldom out of a
job and one whose help is much sought
after. In the first place the hired man
has much to do in making himself, so
if the hired hand is not an ideal one
he has himself mostly to blame. Many
opportunities present themselves to
him, which if he is watchful, careful
and on the alert to improve, Will
contribute much to his benefit.
The ideal hand will be considerable
to the rights of his employer, he will
be honest and never idle away the
time that belongs to his employer, for
it is just as wrong to steal his time as
it would be to steal his cash, and he
will be Just as careful of the property
of his employer as though it belonged
to himself.
The ideal hired man must possess
all the virtues and some of the vices OF
the average human being, he must be
watchful and careful in his speech and
manner, for our best and dearest are
often entrusted to his care. Often
times he must be the master" and
assume all the responsibility for the
time being, and he must be awake to
all the farms best interest. We say
this because he should desire the
farmers best interest not to the farm Is
detriment. There should be inculcated
a love for his work, not simply love
for the results obtained from the labor
done, but love for the growing
things, for the wide out-of-doors, for
the animals that claim our attention,
and with it care for the best results
possible, for in them are our dollars
and cents. The hired hand must be
a born farmer to reach ideal condi-
tions. We often say of those who can

THE QUACK DOCTOR.

One of the meanest swindles perpe-
trated on country folk is worked by the
travelling quack doctor. Nearly all
country communities are worked by
him to his profit. His method is some
thing like this: He first goes to the
local bank and gets list of names of
farmers who are rated good and whose
paper he can readily dispose of. Then
he inaugurates a still hunt for all cases
of sickness of long standing and chronic
cases which no doctor on earth could
cure. These are approached by his rep
resentative, usually slick looking and
smooth talker, and the wonderful heal
ing power of the doctor is enlarged on
and a mass of manufactured certificates
of his great success exhibited. AS is
natural, people Of this class and their
friends also are peculiarly susceptible
when any definite prospect of relief is
held out and are only too willing to
experiment in any manner and try any
new treatment. Later the doctor HIM
self calls, and he is usually got up to
still further impress the family and the
patient that he is able to bring about
the much desired restoration to health.
A deal is made Sometimes it is note
given, obscurely drawn, mo cure no
pay" contract, which is still easily
negotiable at the bank. Some medicine
is sent, and the SO called treatment be-
gins, only to be shortly abandoned as
utterly worthless. The note, however,
is realized on, and the doctor can't be
found, his great hospital in the city be-
ing pure myth. We have known of
dozens of cases Of this sort and many
others where the scheme was a month
ly payment for absent treatment,
equally worthless. Usually the opinion
Of the family physician in all such
cases is well worth needing, and no un-
known stranger should be patronized,
save with his approval. 1t is bad
enough to be bunkoed by a lightning
rod fakir, cloth peddler, a patent
right shark or map vender, but to be
done up by Quack doctor through the
love and regard one has for his family
Is the worst Of all. The safe way is
to pay no attention to his specious ad-
vertisements, and should he call per.
s0nally have the interview terminate
with the doctors coat tails flying down
the road with the dog after him
