night and wrapping ourselves in the robes, talked
of the boast-or was it the confession we had
lust heard. The spirited team, chilled by waiting
and impatient for the stable, fairly dashed down
the road bearing us back to the train, and as the
fields slid behind us in the moonlight, there came
again to me that stern bit of philosophy from
an old book: '"What shall it profit man if he
shall gain the whole world and lose his own
soul ?"-Jared Van Wagemen, Jr., in Country

Strenuous Miss Alice.

Town Topics printed story to-day (Which was
promptly denied) to the effect that Miss Alice
Roosevelt is engaged to Senator Beveridge of In
diana, and Immediately all the yellows began to
throw fits. 1t was thought here that the publica-
tion was intended for Saturday, which would have
been altogether appropriate. Friends of Miss
Alice say she has no idea of getting married in
the immediate future. They have picked as the
fortunate man young Edward Mclean, the only
son of John K. Mclean, well-known Ohio Demo
crat. The couple are together great deal. Miss
Alice is having most too good a time as the
daughter of the President to be preparing for
marriage. The statistics of her indefatigability
have been gathered by German journal which
estimates that In fifteen months the Presidents
Popular daughter has attended 4O9 dinners, 800
parties, $50 balls and $50 afternoon teas shaking
hands in that time with $4,000 persons, besides
paying 1,TOO calls.-W ashington Cor Post

Presidential Advice to Mothers.

In very earnest address to the National Con-
gress of Mothers on March 13th President Roose-
velt returned to his favorite topic of suicide
After telling the mothers that man ought to be
a good husband and father, and not brutal, or
cowardly, or selfish" the President paid his re-
spects to "vapid self-indulgence" and "sterle
pseudo do-intellectuality" in women. He admitted
that a mother who did her duty could not expect
an easy time. "She may have to get up night
after night to take care of a sick child and ye,
must by day continue to do all her household
duties as we'll; and if the family means are scant
she must usually enjoy even her rare holiday
taking her whole brood of children with her
Such mother, in the Presidents opinion, dc-
served even more respect than the man who
fulfilled all the obligations of his own sphere
But she was the hope of the nation. Mr.. RooSe,
velt fell upon unfortunate clergyman who hau
said that people of moderate means ought %
be satisfied with two children. so that they migt
staste few of the good things of life" Inc
intelligence of that idea, he thought, was ION d
par with it's morality" for FEthe most rudimentaN
mental process" would have shown the speaker
that his plan would lead the nation in two OF
three generations to deserved extinction, so tna'
the people who had acted on this base and selnSn
doctrine would be giving place to others Wln
braver and more robust ideals" He held tha'

eide would thereby conclusively show that 1t "a'

Hated to Do It.

During the last Congressional campaign the
candidates for the honor of representing certain
East Tennessee district, says the Washington
Post, gathered to meet the voters at a country
courthouse.
There was a rough-looking old mountainer in
the audience. He looked over the asrirants ON the
platform with critical eye. One of them had
done him several favors, and he felt in duty bound
to vote for him.
''Not very promising lot, are they?" he re-
marked in an audible whisper to a man three seats
away "Them's only the kind we used to run for
constable when I was a boy. Thar's my candi-
date-that yaller-headed chap, third from this
end. I've got to vote for him, but I'd give ten
dollars if hadn't seen him first"

So He Hurried.

A visitor to the St. Louis Exposition con
graduating Joseph W. Folk upon the speed with
which he had brought the "boodle aldermen" to
trial.
"Speed," said Mr.. Folk, smiling, "is an excellent
thing thing that will achieve wonders. | heard
the other day of an Irishman, though, who ex
pected too much speed.
''This Irishman was painter. Usually being
paid by the hour, he worked rather slowly, but a
friend. one day, found him painting away like
a steam-engine.

matter.

THE HOME CIRCLE
Foreboding.F

IF love could pass as die away
The summer winds at ebb of day
That through the amber silence stray,
Sweet heralds of repose;
Whispering in the ear OF Night
The memory of the Mornings light,
The fragance of its rose;
Then we might love and never dread
The awful void when love is dead.

A Bargain.

It was in the raspberry season, and freckled
barefooted little girl In a torn blue calico gown
came to the door of a country boarding-house to
sell berries she had gathered.
sHow much are your berries? 2" asked the mis-
tress of the house.
eoThey are fifteen cents a quart, maam. But
she added, in the same BREATH eff you don't
want them you can have them for ten."
"I don't want them, so you may give me three

Mignon.*

Across the gloom the gray moth speeds
To taste the midnight brew,
The drowsy lilies tilt their beads
On rosaries of dew.
The stars seem kind,
And even the wind
Hath pity for my woe.
All. must I sue in vain, ma belle,
Say no, Mignon, say no!
Ere long the dawn will come to break
The web of darkness through,
Let not my heart unanswered ache
That beats alone for you.
Your easement ope
And bid me hope,
Give me one smile to bless;
A word will ease my pain, ma bellies,
Say yes, Mignon, say yes!

"wHAr SHALL 1T PROFIT A MANP"
A Story With Lesson for the Farmer Whose Sole
Aim is to Make Big Crops and Big Profits.

At a farmers institute in a hamlet which must
be nameless / heard the outlines of story
which to the narrator proud boast but which
to me seemed a confessional tale of aims so sor-
did. life-hstory so pitiful, that it TRACE
dy He was a man in the full prime of life-ffty,
perhaps-a man unframed In any wisdom OF
books but well taught in the hard school of life
and experience man of splendid physical mold
and as his story proves, a man of remarkable
native powers of 49, ,asa 'or5-eheVTe- that
in the hard struggle for supremacy, he had been
able to fight his way to the top.
We were discussing the old question: "Does
farming pay In financial way, and what chance
does it offer the young man who takes 1T up as his
life workP' Then he arose, willingly, enthuslas-
tically with ring of pride in his voice. and told
the story of his life. He had married young, and
begun life a farm of seventy acres and that
heavily mortgaged That was than thirty
years ago. Yes; he had worked hard, harder than
his neighbors had paid little attention TO weather
or hours; he had never expected ease or luxury.
If anything remained undone, he tried to do it
before he slept Life had been a question of
working and planning to do more work next day.
He had been willing to toll nightly, and had he
not made a most conspicuous success? Did he
not own $40 acres of land all paid for, and was
he not milking seventy COWS on the home farm!
Yes. He had all the improved machinery, includ-
ing a gasoline engine, and he handled this plant
with very little extra help. His boys had always
been good boys to work, and his wife was worth
any man he could hire when 1t came to milking.
His family had always worked-worked hard, and
had they not received abundant reward2
He had two sons, of whom sat near him;
a rather heavy-eyed young whose frame fill
ed out his red sweater with the development of a
young Hercules He the tyre of the farm
athlete-a man who, you felt, could work all day
with the tireless swing of a steel mechanism.
Physically he was splendid animal. and that was
all.
So this farmer told. with the air of proud
parent, of his boys They had been well brought
up, these excellent sons. They had early realized
that to win in life you must sweat for it. They
followed his footsteps One of them had set up
for himself a farm of 100 acres. He was mar
ried, and milked twenty cows. He hired no help
whatever, very few days in harvest His

Stacking HAY.

The bigger the stack, the less the exposure
- wind, rain and sun, and it does not take
much longer to rake down, top out and hang"
big stack than 1t does little one This
applies largely, of course, to stacking from
wagon In this case, the extra hauling,
when the hay is once on the rack, amounts to
but little between a small or very large stack.
All thtngs being equal. n narrow stack Is
mots apt to shed WELL we'll, than II wider
ems but the LONGER and narrower stack is,
the more surface there is exposed. and the
greater loss there IL in quality and sometimes
In quantity. The nearer square or round o
stack is built the more we'll housed hay there
viii be in 1t. Still, few feel like building
sqAAfe stacks when much hay is to he put up.
