alton at the high school that one so
attei for professional life must go into
business occupation.
One day Tom received note from &c
old friend OF his mothers stating that
he would furnioh him S400 a year for
eAe purposes OF q collegiate and profess
sional education-that is, he would do
10 as long as the funds We're forthcom-
ing. Tom was to give him notes for
C1e amounts with interest. Tom was
-SsJ much surprised to re ceive such an
ofer from the man who made 1t, for he
Was considered very stingy. He was
not surpfiseSS that his benefactor ex-
Dected the amount to be returned and

rlom did nos forget Julia. He heard
soon after ne left her that she had be
come d teacher on very small salary,
report saying that her father had made
business losses. Be this as it may, Ju-
lila took hold of her work energetically
and every year advanced. Tom mean
while was teaching during vacations
and tutoring in term time. The small
amounts he was enabled to pick up in
this way, together with the prizes and
scholarships he won, added TO the re-
inittnnces he received, enabled him TO
get through college, and in similar
manner he secured his degree as doc
tor OF medicine. So we'll fitted was he
for this profession of his choice that
the day he was graduated he was made
assistant to noted surgeon, lectur-
er at the medical college where Tom
had studied, at salary of $500 n
year.
Tom had met many girls while pur-
suing his studies AMI Oh one or two
occasions had become somewhat inter
egted, but there was something com
forting about his old schoolmate that
made him feel when he began his life's
work that he would like her to be his
permanent companion. The result was
that he asked her to be his wife and
she consented.
But there was something more than
this well conceived adjunct TO his
plans in store for Tom Kcnworthy. Az

their wedding trip and entered for the
first time the cozy little home they had

First Christmas
(Original.l


Tom and Julia Kenworthy were re-
eurning from their wedding trip to
their quiet little homo for Christmas.
They had noNmoney to waste on an ex-
tended tour and had planned their we'd
ding for the 18th of December that
they might wind up the festivities at
time when other people were also
given over to pleasure.
But to begin at the beginning
Tom aEd Julia had been playmates,
and when they were at that age when
children pass into youth and are cast
Ing ahead for their life's occupation
Tom found Julia of immense aid and
comfort TO him. In talking over his fu-
ture Tom was both intellectual and am.
bilious. He desired to go to college and
after that to study a profession. But
Tom was the son of n widow whose
slender income kept her pinched in or
der to give her boy his schooling, and
after that Tom would not hear of her
continuing her sacrifices. Tom had

The wire fence question gets more
and more aliV" each day. The chem
lists at Washington have proved beyond
reasonable doubt that the trouble lies
in the process of manufacturing the
wire and not in the galvanZing. \ bull
letin will soon be printed which will
demonstrate This. The manufacturers.
or mt least the wiser of them, realize
what is goug on. and they know that
they must sooner or later furnish bet
ter wire. They arc experimenting and
waiting to see If customers really de
mand higher quality. Here, then, is
the need of rpdoubled efforts ON the
part of farmers The letters they wrote
and the power they displayed induced
the department of agriculture to test
the wire When the final report is
made there is to be no excuse for Il
manufacturer TO refuse to sell good
wire except the old one that farmers
only want what IL too cheap to be
good That can be settled only by
farmers themselves. Let every man
who uses wire write at once to both
agent and manufacturer that he wants
nothing but guaranteed wire, subject
to test by the department Of agricul-
ture-Rural New Yorker.
