The Farm
sILAs cHREvRR MASON, Editor
Asserting Their Rights.


There are farmers in this country
who rise up once in a while and
assert their rights When they
strike, the blow comes like the kick
Of steer. II isn't graceful or ac-
cording to fashionable rules, but
there is power in it that commands
respect. A farmer in a New Eng
land State has some wild land on
which grows d quantity of laurel.
This plant has commercial value,
the same as apples, sugar or hard
ware. During the Summer good
many city people live or board in the
neighborhood. As usual such people
consider a farmers orchard or wild
land as common property, and pro.
coed TO help themselves to what they
want. The farmer posted his farm
and warned people away, yet still
they came. One day the farmer met
a good sized party Of men and
women, each with a good armful Of
laurel, which they had gathered on
his farm. According to usage he
ought 10 have smiled and addressed
them about as follows:
Good day, friends, / am glad to
have you visit the farm. Make your
selves at home Take some more Of
that laurel, help yourselves to apples
lin the next field you viii find some
good raspberries Go down 10 the
house and have some milk, which you
will find in the dairy. Take a few
eggs along with you, and don't forget
TO eat a piece Of cake which my wife
will give you. As a farmer | am
proud TO have you come aud help me
dispose Of my product"
He might have talked that way,
but he didn't. He ordered all hands
TO throw down that laurel and get of
the premises, or take the con
sequencesl There wasn't anything
else to do, and il was a great thing to
see various captains and priyates Of
industry throw down their laurels at
the farmers feet That farmer
ought to be publicly thanked Sup
pose be had gone into a store or
factory and helped himself to %
cents worth Of goods Yet why
would he not have as much right to
do so as people have 10 tramp over
his farm and help themselves to what
they see and iancyY Farmers will
have more laurels thrown at their
feet when they stand up for their
rights. - Rural New Yorker.

Questions.

A member asks, Shall | teach th,
Metric system in my schoolY
would say yes. AT least thoroughly
discuss the principle upon which il
is based and point out that il is no.
thing bat an application of decimal
fractions.
Also impress upon your pupils the
fact that, though we do not use il
in our every day work, yet il is used
the world over by scientific men and
altogether in many places, and that
il is great improvement on our
present system.
Teach the meaning of MILL, cent?,

In the fourteenth century people
lived IN mud huts. with a rough door
and no chimney. IL was not till cen
fury later that the erection OF a chin
ney was considered more than an IN
diligence IN luxury. a fire commonly
being built against the mud plastered
wall OF the hut and the smoke escap-
ing through the roof. All furniture
was OF wood. Most persons slept on
straw pallets. with log Of wood for
a pillow. Even the nobility had no
glass IN the windows during this time.
Cleanliness was not a characteristic OF
the people. and Thomas aBecket was
considered more than necessarily nice
because he had the floor OF his house
strewn with fresh stray. each day.

Leaf Magic.

We have learned by studying the
leaf, how il is Of use to the plant in
letting the water strain through il
and leave the solid food that was
dissolved in il when il was taken
from the soil, and TO man by giving
of water taken from deep in the
ground which could fall on the sur
face as rain, thus keeping tender
plants growing. Now wish to tell
Of wonderful work that goes on
within the leaf. OF the sunlight
trap by which the heat and power OF
the sun is caught and kept Tor the
Use Of man, without which life could
not have been ON earth
First | must describe some things
about the leaf which the human eye
cannot see.
Tho little veins which spread out
over the leaf aud may be seen form
ing delicate net work all over il
are really very small tubes which
carry water from the soil up the
stem and TO every part Of the leaf.
The leaf, ia common with every liv
ing thing, is made up Of cells.
These cells differ greatly in shape,
size and structure To understand
the work Of the leaf we must be able
10 see in our Imagination the various
forms Of cells Of which il is made
Let us begin with the top that we
noticed had a smooth, glossy look
The cells Of which il is composed
form a thick, semi transparent. corky
layer which keeps the leaf from dry
ing out too fast a. the sun pours
down upon IT, Under this are one
or two layers Of cells proportioned
about like baking powder cans,
packed close together with their
ends up. They have thin walls and
the protoplasm which fills them con
tains a great amount Of the green
coloring matter Of the leaf. Below
these closely packed, regularly ar
ranged layers. comes a portion Of the
leaf forming about half il thickness
IN which the cells are about the same
shape a. the ones above but are
placed in all positions, leaving spaces
between them everywhere. They
also have much less green coloring
matter in them. Below this loosely
arranged layer comes the lower sur
face or spidermal layer. IL is com
posed mostly Of fiat. irregular shaped
cells. but scattered over il are cells
Of peculiar form. They are shaped
like your hand when you cup il up
90 hold water, and two of them are
always placed with the hollow sides
together 40 as 10 leave a little open
ing between them Through the
opening thus formed air passes in
aud out Of the leaf. circulating all
through amongst the loosely arranged
TISSUES Of the leaf wish any
teacher who may wish 10 tell this 10
the class would try TO imagine how
these four layers Of the leaf look
See II you can make a rough drawing
Of il from this description so that
you could put il on the board for
the children. Try it and send me a
copy and shall be glad 10 correct
and return IL. Remember that the
cup shaped cells that form the
breathing pores do not show when
you cut down through the leaf, but
are turned cut so as 10 be seen when
won look IA The aurfaeo
We are now ready to describe the
magic work Of the leaf, but must
leave il until next week.

Surprised Miss Reed.

Last evening about twenty young
ladies and gentlemen. friends of Miss
Alta Reed. gathered at the home of
the Misses Hull on Grand avenue,
and in a body called at the Reed
home to spend the evening. The
coming of the young people was a
decided surprise for Miss Reed, who
had no idea that she would be called
upon to entertain such merry
throng of her friends on last even
ing.
Games of various kinds were en-
joyed until very late hour and then
refreshments were served. The mid
night hour had come and gone when
the party disbanded, and the even
ing was a joyous one for Miss Reed
and those who surprised the young
lady.
Miss Reed, as we announced last
evening, will leave Monday for her
old home in South Dakota where she
will reside. Her mother will follow
her in May. Doubtless the surprise
party of last evening will ever prove
one of the cherished memories of
her residence in Grand Junction.

SERIOUSLY ILL
F. A. FaIkenburg, Head
Consul of the KOOdmen
of the World is
a Sick Man.

There are scores of Grand juno
tion people who are warm friends or
admirers of F. A. Falkenburg, the
popular head consul of the Wood
men of the World, and the sorrow
will be general when it is learned
that Mr.. Falkenberg is in a dying
condition in California, where he
went several months ago seeking
health.
The following is taken from the
Denver Republican Of Wednesday
morning:
Word comes from California that
f. A. Falkenburg has but few
days and perhaps only hours of life.
This news viii fill many homes
throughout the west with sorrow. as
Mr.. Falkenburg is so widely known
because of his connection with the
Woodmen of the World.
IF. A. Falkenburg is head consul
of the Woodmen of the World,
position which he probably would
have held for years, because the
order owed him much. When first
organized. the Modern Woodmen of
America declined to take jurisdiction
over the western states, claiming
that hazard of life was too great
to permit of safe insurance. This
gave F. A. Falkenburg. the late Gen.
J. w. Browning and others a chance
and they organized the Pacific juris-
diction. Woodmen of the World. The
order was a tremendous success from
the first and the camps in the Pa
cific jurisdiction are strong and pow
erful.
Several years ago Mr.. Falken-
burg's health began to fail and his
case was diagnosed as Bright's dis
ease. He failed rapidly, but about
two weeks ago he was able to be
moved to Los Angeles, where it was
hoped the mild climate might give
him a longer lease on life. Appar-
emily the change did little good, be-
cause word came yesterday that he
was sinking rapidly and the doctors
had announced that there was no
hope"
