Advice to Farmer Boys That They
Would Do Well to Heed.

A young man from the farm goes
into the city, where he sees other
young men who are engaged, perhaps
as clerks. They wear fine clothes, have
soft hands, and appear to be having
a fine easy time generally. The young
man from the country is quite apt to
envy these fellows, and wish that he,
too, might obtain a position as a clerk.
But he does not realize what a strlS-
gle these same clerks, who work in
stores or offices, have to pay for their
fine clothes, their board and other OK
pens2s, which the young man from the
country knows nothing of. Neither
does he realize that a clerk is liable
to De thrown out of employment at
any time, and how difficult it is TO OBJ
tain another position. This is no fan
cy sketch, as the writer had some ex-
p~erience a number of years ago in a
nearby city.
The majority Of clerks are poorly
paid, so that it IS a constant struggle
for them to keep UP appearances.
While a few of them get to the top
round and become successful business
men, the majority never rise any high
er. Few people who live in the country
realize how much it costs to live in
the city.
The rent alone, which many are
obliged to pay, would support a family
quite comfortably in the country. A
young man, Or a man with a family,
living in the city, can seldom saw any
money, even though he draws quite
a liberal salary, which is rarely the
case. The privileges and opportunities
for the enjoyment are becoming great
er and better every year. Do not be
in 100 great haste to leave the farm
with the expectation that you can Go
SO much better n the city. Stick to
the farm-learn how to farm right by
attending your agricultural college, and
you will beat the average clerk in use

Mr.. Bovser had a rather bad day of
it. When he got out to the corner
be decided that consistency demanded
that he should walk instead of taking
the street car. He had gone about
two blocks when his feet suddenly
went out from under him, and ne came

poor old man! You don't look as
IL you had had anything to eat for
three or four days. and those old
clothes won't keep you from freezing.
I pity you, and yet l must warn you
against that awful habit Of swearing"
Mr.. BOwser refused her aid with q
grunt, but five minutes later had an
other adventure. A grocer's wagon
had stopped on the cross walk, and, for
getting that he was simple Bowser,
the pedestrian halted to exclaim:
Here, you, ~boy-drive on! Don't
you know that you are blocking the
walk and that you could be arrested
for it,"
whats struck you, old tramp"
was the impudent reply of the boy.
Mr.. Bowser had just drawn a full
breath to blast him after the old Bow
serian fashion when a policeman came
along and took him by the collar and
threw him into a snOwdrift and called
after him:
That's the kind of a hair mattress
you are looking for, you old fake."
During the day he was asked at
least twenty times If he had been in
swimming and left his good clothes
on the bank or if he had made a
change and gone into the old clio
business, and nothing but his settled
determination to hang on to himself
prevented half a dozen rows. At Don
he ate the sort OF luncheon he had
described to Mrs. Bowser, and when
he started for home at ) O'Clock he
was as hungry as a wolf. He depart

CAUGHT BY A SEA TOAD
ADVENTURE OF A NATURALIST

AST summer I was hunting for specimens of sea life along the western end of the ocean coast of Long Island. The main object of my quest was to find sea anemones and marine worms. Only those who have searched the shores with practiced eyes can realize what a wonderful hunting ground every foot of sea beach is.
 On this day l had been fortunate enough to find a small stony reef. a formation which is rare indeed on that sandy coast, and therefore all the rich CT in queer life because it attracts creatures from all directions
 l saw some extremely beautiful anemones-the strange sea animals that grow and live like flowers, ris- ing from the rocks on veritable stems and unfolding arms of pink and vel. low that are exactly like flower petals. The anemones that I had seen were fastened to the face of rock that seemed to descend into the sea- As these dainty things are extremely deli cate. and I knew that such handsome ones would bring good price from the owners of some aquarium, lay down fiat on the rock with my face only an inch or so above the water, thrust my arm down as. far as it would go and felt the rock to determine

Tor to remain in the treasury depart ment Secretary Shaw, a westerner him. self, was not long in discovering the worth of the ex-governor of Wisconsin. When puzzling questions would arise about the construction of public build- ings or the proper application of the immigration laws, Mir. Taylor had the faculty of going right straight to the main point of the question in way that pleased Secretary Shaw very much. When Mir Taylor first preached the sub ject of retiring from the public service short time ago, Mir. Shaw said: Look here governor, don't want you to leave the treasury What will do without you! want you to stay in until the end of my four years term, at least
 The dependence which Secretary Shaw has on Uncle Hod" is apparent when the records of the department show that MT. Taylor has been acting secretary of the treasury more than half the time since Mir. Shaw first took office. Secretary Shaw feels perfectly confi- dent that while he is away Assistant Secretary Taylor is conducting affairs as they should be, and he does not hesi- tate to take advantage of this fact.
 Mir Taylor. when he goes out of of- flee, will go of his own volition. Some few years ago the assistant secretary believed he saw great possibilities in a business way in Alaska, and he estab- lished bank at the City of Nome. His foresight has been justified. and the business of the bank has grown so great and mining interests with which he is connected are so important that he now feels compelled to give them his undi- vided attention.

great political master, the late Senator r M. s. Quay.
 Col. Andrews is fine example of the self made man, and those who know his worth believe that the governorship of Pennsylvania is not too great re- ward for the work he has done He Is a man of less than average stature, rather spare of form with clear complexion and kindly, but piercing eye, and gives no outward evidence of the tremendous amount of work he can perform. It is no unusual thing for him during the bus days of the session or in the heat of campaign to work 20 hours out of the 24. He can keep three or four stenog- raphers busy taking the dictation nec- essary to dispose of Senator Penrose's heavy correspondence.
 Col. Andrews is a brother of the wide ly known "Bill'' Andrews, now of New Mexico, but lately of Pennsylvania, where he was recognized as the late Sem ator Quay's first lieutenant, There is vide difference. though in the character of Wesley R. and William H.

ing. It is situated in low-lying dis trict, much of which had for years en- joyed the more or less euphonious name of "Swampoodle," where negroes of the lowest class lived and where crime was rampant. This low ground Is to be filled up and the big union depot will almost be on level with the capitol, and the group of magnificent public buildings that are located and to be built about the capitol plaza.
 The earth necessary to fill up this hol- low would constitute mountain all most, and it is being obtained from the excavations already made and in prog ress for the house and senate office buildings and from the tunnel which the Pennsylvania railroad is digging under Capitol hill. The rapidity with which landmarks have been removed and form CT well built-up squares of the city have disappeared has taken away the breath of the old inhabitants. The big square adjoining the northeast corner of the capitol grounds less than three months ago was covered with rows of houses, some of them luxurious mansions. To- day big steam shovel is rapidly con- verting that square into a big hole in the ground, The dirt and the debris as it is being scooped out is loaded on cars and quickly deposited on the ground around the new depot, so that by the time the walls of the latter have been built, the surrounding squares will have been raised to the height of 50 feet or more.
 The new depot will be in keeping with the magnificent government buildings, of which it will form an addition. It is to be of white marble. and will be in har- mony with the capitol when that old building has been remodeled, as is now intended.
