IMPRESSION that he is the master OF
his own house He learns there are
Llaces where he can not smoke, blinds
that must not be raised dishes that
can not be cooked. SO he gives up
the things he had supposed he was to
draw along with matrimony.
At such times as these he will prob
ably confide to someone that, to Keep
the peace in the house with woman,
YOU must give up>a great deal more
than she does.
His wife, meanwhile, is really de-
ferring to him more than he has any
idea. She gives up saying unpleasant
things about his family. She gives UP
comparing his mother with hers to
the advantage of the latter. She
gives up feeding him with food she
feels to be convenient and hygienic.
and supplies him with the mince pie
and things, pork tenderloins and lob
sters, and other items likely to upset
his stomach. If she is an unusual
woman she may get to the point of
giving up the last word. But this
is not generally until she is very old.
1t is said that there are women who
are capable of giving up saying: IL
told you so!' for the sake of keeping
peace in the family. This, however,
is only hearsay evidence, and not
admissible in court.

A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE.

The remark recently made by
Thomas c. Platt concerning his OWL
life was lifting of the curtain, for
an instant, to show the real feelings
OF man who has succeeded--and fail
ed
Platt said, you will remember: "My
life could have been made so much
better, or at least different from what
it has been"
$50 much better-or different"
The phrasing is characteristic-a
confession and then an adroit hedg-
ing of his words, lest he might have
said too much.
But the real feeling of the man
is plain. He knows his life has MOI
been what it ought to have been.
1t might have been better-or much
letter. Seventy-two years old and
sorry for his life!
Why, the man has gotten abont
everything man wants to get in this
life
Health? He is seventy-two and
still able to successfully head a great
corporation.
Fame? He is a senator of the Unit
ed States and maker Of presidents.
Power? For years he has been the
! supreme boss of the Republican poll
tics of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeed?
But has it been worth while?-
worth while TO himself and to the
world? With the clear after vision
of old age Platt can see that his hfe
has simply been a successful failure.
Because
"A mans life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things that he
hath" Successful living. in the true
sense, is not in having, but in being;
not II getting, but in giving. It lies
not in what man has. but in what
ne is and what he does.
Platt sees what might have been.
He might have had, instead of mil
liens of dollars, wealth of mind
and soul: instead of fame as a boss
hat Of henefa ctor; instead of Irw@'
in politics, the power to do good to
bis fellows; instead of the fawnine
of lieutenants, the esteem of friends:
instead of hollow service, love.
Yes, his life "conld have been mad
so much better'-it ne hM cared
for the real things instead of the i'm
itations.
And for the sake of the young men
of this country 1t is well that this
cid man, successful after his kind
should virtually confess his failure

When Johnny Comes Marching Home.

When Johnny Comes Marching Home.
A series of brilliant military pic

stration for New York audience, us

Brattleborough, VT, June 23.-A re-
prieve until December 10 for Mrs.
Mary Rogers. the condemned muir
deress, was signed yesterday by Gov
Bell and for the third time the wo-
man who was to have been hanged at
Windsor today for killing her hus-
band has been saved through the
coeration of the governors power of
staying the execution.
The reprieve was granted in order
that the case might be carried to the
supreme court of the United States
on a constitutional question which
was raised at the hearing before
Judge H. H. Wheeler, sitting as just
ice of the United States court of ap-
peals. Attorneys petitioned for her
release on a writ Of habeas corpus.
The court declined to grant the petit
ton but, suggested that the points of
law raised by the petitioners were
such as to be passed upon by the su-
preme court Of the United States.
The refusal Of the Judge to grant the
writ was at once forwarded by the fill
ing of an appeal. Judge Wheeler
thereupon announced that he would
render his decision on the question OF
anneal later in the day in order to
give Governor Bell an opportunity
TO reprieve Mrs. Rogers.

OUR FARMERS.
IMPORTANCE OF GOOD SEED.

Great stress is placed upon the im-
portance of good breeding in animals
kept upon the farm in order to secure
the best possible result from the teeo
consumed, all of which is true but 10"
farmers fully realize the fact that goou
and bad qualities are transmitted LII
plant as well as in animal life. Inc
idea too generally prevails that If seeo
will germinate and is of the variety
desired that is all that is necessary
to know in regard to it. 1t is OF course
important to know that the seed is
true to name and has vitality, pu1 IL
isr also important to know thai inc
vitality is of such nature as to cause
the germ to make vigorous grown
when beginning it's career in the SOIL
Great advantage has come to agri-
culture in recent years through 1he
introduction of grain and vegetables
capable of increased production WneA
given proper treatment and culture
1t is said that the wheat crop IN the
great wheat producing states has been
increased several bushels per acre
and the quality of the -four made there
from improved by the introduction
of varieties that have been established
through careful breeding by scientlnc
men. 1t is a well-known fact that
/ the potato crop has been MADE
more profitable by the introduction
of good fielding varieties of gooo
quality. 1t is also generally conceoeo
that seed for potato growing ootalneo
from a northern locality to be planted
gives better results than when OBTAIN
ed from the immediate vicinity. There
are still other conditions bearing up
on the seed used in grain and vegeta-
BILE growing that are important that
might be discussed at length.
The point, however, that we are
aiming to emphasize atthis time IS the
advantage in obtaining seed from
full crop that was so well
matured as to give vigorous germl-
mating qualities. The amount OF SEED
upon the average New England farm
is not so great but great care can De
used in its selection. 1t costs but
little to obtain the seed potatoes, seed
corn or grass seed from source
that leaves little doubt as to their quail
/ ity. It is a matter of care and atten-
ton more than the expense involved.
Such care and attention would pay the
farmers many times over it's cost in
the increased quantity and quality of
the crops produced. The importance
of good seed cannot be too frequently
stated or too vigorously emphasized
at this season of the year.-Mirror &
Farmer
