every department Of life the well
done is always an incentive to
better doing.
"Wait not till your friend is
dead,
Ere your compliments are said"
If you think your wife is too old
to appreciate word of good cheer,
put your arm about her and as you
kiss the care worn cheek, tell her
that she looks better to you than
she did forty years ago and watch
the smile and bushes that chase
each other over her face.
While life is a serious proposition,
it is entitled to a great deal more
happiness than many people get out
Of it and when the secret of every
day living is more fully discovered,
there will be more JOY than sorrow
and more sunshine than cloud.

To whom it concerns:
Foul weeds, such as thistles and

be rid of them, but people who wrote
slanderous letters on July % and
mailed it on Aug. 4th, and pried loci S

allowed stock to get in my corn, are
certainly worse. I moved to this farm
to work and support my family and

that other people do the same.

If you have word of cheer
That might light the pathway dreal
Of brother pilgrim here,
Let him know.
Show him you appreciate
What he does; and do not wait
Till the heavy hand of Fate
Lays him low.
1t your heart contains a thought
That Will brighter make his lot,
Then, in mercy, hide it not;
Tell him so.
Wait not till your friend is dead
Ere your compliments are said;
For the spirit that has fled,
If it know.
Does not need to spend it on
Our poor praise; where it has gone
Loves eternal, golden dawn
Is aglow.
But unto our brother here
That poor praise is very dear;
If you've any word of cheer
Tell him so.

ever reached, they propose to COM
nence the enjoyment Of life.
In the meantime the finer sensi-
bilities are sacrificed in the monotO-
nous grind of every day toll, and
the capacity for enjoyment is weak
ened or destroyed. The little court
estes, that contribute so much to
the happiness of the home, are neg
lected and the CHEEKY good morn
ing" to the friend on the street, is
forgotten. The business of life be-
comes absorbing, and there is no
time for sentiment.
It is all mistaken notion. While
ambition should be encouraged and
work accomplished with will and
to purpose, yet living should be a
matter Of daily completeness. There
is no promise of a future where
matured plans may yield enjoyment
and if the plans work out, they are
under changed conditions and dis
appointment results.
~
An old gentleman, who had been
50 busy all his life, that he could't
find time to visit his children in a
ueighboring state, said to one Of
his friends as he said good bye
to him at the old homestead:
"Tell your boys that if their
grandfather don't get time to visit
them here, that he will make them
a good long visit up in heaven after
a while" To which the boy re-
piled, ''I'm afraid you won't know
them when you meet them"
There are many families in the
same condition, and some of them
live under the same roof. It is a
fact, not always considered, that
families either grow apart, or be-
come cemented in a bond of loving
fellowship and the home life de-
termines which direction the de-
velopment shall take.
It is possible to make the home so
attractive, that the boy and girl
leave it with regret, when they
start out in life for themselves and
the memory clings to them and
calls them back long after their own
homes are established.
In these homes, love was the cor
ner stone and loving sympathy and
helpfullness entered into every
fibre of the structure. The honey
moon of early experience, stretched
on into the years, and the children
recognized in the father and mother,
a pair Of old time lovers. Every
want was anticipated and every
thought taken in the family circle.
1t was no uncommon thing to
hear the father say. as he pushed
his chair back from the table.
THAT was good breakfast Mary:
you always knew how to cook, +"
and then the mother would smile
at the compliment and say, ''Thank
you, John. Pm glad you enjoyed
it," There was no lack of apprec1a-
ton and no false modesty about
expressing it and the expression of
appreciation means everything in a
home.

The choice sentiment expressed in
the little poem, is well worth cult
waiting. The journey of life is so
eventful and so uncertain withal,
that It's significance is not always
appreciated.
1t is so natural to live within
ourselves, that the habit is easily
formed and the complex conditions
of surroundings are not always taken
into account.
There IS an old saying found in
the old book, that reads, mo man
liveIh to himself and no man dieth
to h1mself," hut that was written
when the world was young and be-
fore the days of modern society.
While it is true in a sense today, it
is also true that in this age of rush
and hurry, that too many of us live
too largely within ourselves.

There is another class of home S
and they are all too common, where
the children are glad to escape The
place has but little connected with
it, save food, shelter and raiment
to inspire loving memories. The
altar fires have been burned so low
that the warmth of love is exhaust
ell.
The father is SO absorbed in bust
ness, that he has but little time to
devote to the home and the family
see SO little of him, that they hard
ly know him. The mother, left to
her own resources, has long since
discovered that she made a mis-
take in casting her lot in life with
man who had no time to live and
SO they drift apart. They never 60
into society together, and have but
little in common.
The children scatter and the man
and woman are back where thew
starred, both prematurely old and
unhappy. The wife drops out and
her resting place is marked by a
monument that is travesty on
love and a burlesque on the sacred
name of home.
There are too many roses in the
grave yard, and too few in the par
Tor. While it is we'll to reverence
the memory of the dead, it is better
to help the living. If the sentiment
expressed IN the little poem. Tell
him so'' was generally adopted, life
would be prolonged and some of the
graves that receive so much at
tention, would be without occupants
for years to come.
The expression of appreciation
should be cultivated, not only in
the home, but everywhere. The
child Graves it and word of En-
enlargement causes the eye to
sparkle. 1t is like tonic to every
life when honestly expressed. In

Society, of whatever strata, is
made up Of two classes. "The hale
fellow well met" applies to a limit
ed class of men and women whose
presence is like ray of sunshine.
They have kindly greeting for ev-
erybody, and the warm clasp of the
hand leaves the impression that
they have personal interest in in
dividual welfare. You may not
know them very well, but you are
not long in finding them out, for
they belong to humanity.
If you have ever studied the char
acter of this class of people, you
have discovered that they were
optimistic. If there is any bright
side to a proposition, they always
find 1T, and if there is any trouble
to be cultivated, they studiously
avoid it. Borrowed trouble is not a
part Of their creed They have
learned that choice secret, that real
trouble is not the common lot, so
they never cross any bridges in ad-
vance.
You say of this class of people, Il
don't understand how they manage
to get SO much out Of life and yet
they are simply getting the share
that was INTENDED for every man
and woman in normal condition.

GOVERNMENT FARMS.

From the Pueblo (Cal), Chieftain:
The United States will set aside co.
900 acres Of prairie land in the south
western part of Pueblo county for the
benefit Of the agricultural department.
A. government official who has been
examining the locality yesterday gave
out the information.
Rangers will soon be detailed to re-
move all wire fences, and new sur"
vey will be made. The land is held to
be naturally the best watered in the
county. Recently the town of Mprrissy
was established in the vicinity, COM
posed entirely Of farmers who depend
on rainfall alone. They have been
surprisingly successful.
Their success has led directly to the
governments step, according to the
information. The belief has been grow
ing among the experimenters OF the
agricultural department that there IL
really no arid belt along the eastern
enough rainfall to produce certain kinds
of crops especially adapted for the re-
gion without Irrigation. The agri-
cultural scientists have been, and are
still, securing all parts of the earth
for the discovery of useful trees and
plants adopted for the small rainfall
of Colorado and the other Rocky noun
tain states. Many such have been
found and the experimental stations
and farms of the department of agri-
culture are now engaged in practical
tests Of the discoveries.
1T Is more than likely that the set
ting aside of the $4,000 acres in Pueblo
county is to continue the practical
tests. The result would be Of immense
benefit to the county and state, another
great step toward the complete elm
nation Of the uncultivated belt that
for SO many years has been held as
worthless for all purposes except that
of limited grazing.
