Prosperous and Unprosperous Farmers.

The stranger when passing through
= farming community can quite readily
distinguish the prosperous from the
unprosperous by outward appearances.
The stranger will observe that the
buildings of the successful farmer
although they may not be Of modern
construction are nevertheless comfort
able and tidy.
He will detect no places on the roof
where the shingles have blown off and
allowed to go unmended. Much to the
opposite, the stranger. will perceive if
the farmer just at that time does not
see his way clear to give his buildings
a new covering he has seen to it that
the places arc tidiy repaired.
Then. the stranger will fail to see a
hat or an old coat thrust into a broken
window perhaps for the reason the
glass has fallen out by negligence of
the farmer in not keeping the sash
putticd and timed. The thrifty farmer
always attends to these little details,
thereby saving money and sparing
himself the criticism of the stranger.
Another thing the stranger will OBJ
serve the thrifty farmer not only for
iliS oN.l convenience Dul lpT ollIcIS Ill
so has hitching post in his yard.
thus avoiding the risk of fastening
his team to Il rotten limb of a tree and
if there Ice 10 tree the wOOdhOrse or
some other substitute equally inse-
cure.
In looking further about the strang-
er will note that the farm machinery
of the thrifty and provident farmer
is nowhere to be seen. Instead Of be-
ing allowed to winter in the field it Is
cleaned and oiled and housed from the
weather. and ready for use when the
season comes around.
Since like begets like the stranger
will observe that the farmers wife has
| equal pride in the home surroundings.
| AS there is nothing that imparts such a
| charm to the external appearance Of
| home as flowers. the strangers eye
| will be delighted with "A garden set
apart for this purpose.
| If by chance the stranger should
take the trouble to look the farmer
| stock over. and also look into the
| quarters in which they are kept. he
| will at once see that he is by no means
| unmndfui Of the needs of his animals
| both as regards shelter and sanitary
| conditions for these are AS essential
to the comfort and health of animals
| rs they are to the human. In this in
| stance the stranger will note that there
are no cracks in the walls of the barn
to admit the winds of winter, for tn.
| farmer understands that this is not
| economy. for what is gained in this
| way is moro than offset by expense In
feed as animals improperly sheltered
| require more to subsist on than those
| that are better housed. AS air is as
necessary for animals as for man, the
| farmer has provided his stock Will
| means of ventilation. and with all he
has seen to it that they are supplied
with pure water. After seeing that the
animals are kept in clean stalls
and well bedded, the stranger leaves
with the impression that this is I
| thrifty and well conducted farm.

Exasperatinq Punctuality.

There are people who cOnscicntiouSly
believe themselves to be the soul of
punctuaity because they are always five
minutes before the proper time. They are
ready in the drawing room a quarter of
an hour before it is time to go into the
dinirg-rcom for lunch. 1t is the over
nuc:ual-thc -pEnctual, host who
is attacked by train fever, and who sends
his guests to wait twenty minutes or
more stamping up and down country
station Platform 50 as to prevent them
from missing the train. To be always five
minutes ahead of the clock is surely one
of the most cxaspcrating forms of So
called punctuality imasina ble.-Thc Spec

Mr. Robert Ross has written to THE London
Daily Chronicle explaining that the EngTsn
edition Of Oscar wilde's DE Profundis" does
not give the complete text. That precious boon
is not unlikely to be vouchsafed to us by him
in due course Meanwhile, 1t is available to those
who care to read the German edition 1t seems
that there are French, italian. Swedish ana
Hungarian translations of this book. Whereat
we suppose we ought to rejoice nightly; but
as matter of fact our JOY in the transition OF
DE Profundis" from the ohscurity Of manu-
script to worldwide notortety is tempered by
the fact that it has got itself printed in English.
A vast amount of disgusting cant has been writ
ten about this bit of hysteria If Oscar Wilde
had been sincerely repentant he would hava
recognized that silence the best atonement
he could make. Instead of that he proceeded
to write a book which his literary cleverness
only renders the more offensive At the end no

Mace for me has none to Offer but Nature, whose
sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, viii have
clefts in the rocks where may hide: ana secret
She viii hang the night with stars 80 that may
and send the wind over my footprints, SO that none
may track to my hurt she VIII cleanse me IN
The caIlow or the Smart critic: above all, the
critic who plunes himself on not taking preju-
these skilfu1ly turned sentences, and others like
them, in DE Profundis," and goes off to talk
about the book as "a cry of the SOUL, "a monu-
rnent to one of the bitterest tragedies in modern
letters" and so on and so on The simple truth
is that Oscar Wilde was an evil spirit, that DE
Profundis" has the sckening trail of his diseased
character over all its pages, and that his literary
executors would have rendered a service to his
memory If they had burned the manuscript.
From Brentano's we have Just received a copy
of his Intentions a book of prose made up of
1.-The Decay Of Lying pen, Pencil and Poison"
1.-THE Critic as Artist and THE Truth Of
Masks These ingenious studies in paradox
make amusing reading. Nobody could deny that
Wilde had sense and wit. But neither his wit
nor his sense had the remarkable quality at
tributed to it by his jejune disciples. Here is
characteristic passage:
The final revelation is that Lying, the telling Of
beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art
But of this 1 think I have spoken at sufficient

ghost while the evening star washes the dusk
with silver. At twilight nature becomes a won

quotations from the poets. Come! We have
talked long enough.
This quotation and the one we have made from
DE Profundis'' illustrate the same straining
after effect. One passage was written by the
author when he the crest of the wave
the other when he had sunk to the lowest depths
but neither even remotely suggests that he had

Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace
for Oconto Co., has delivered judg-
ment that is Of interest to the whole
United States. Put briefly, that judg-
ment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
today"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this Judgment. He says: Last
winter had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning could hardly straight.

was, but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking

Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. II not
cured by Dodds Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia.

other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.
