TAKE NO sURsTITUTE.

The May issue of BOB TAYLoR's
MAGAZINE more than fulflls the
promise of the first number, and the
phenomenal success of the publica-
ton stands fully justified on it's
merits. In solid excellence, artistic
illustration, and varied interest, the
current number takes high rank and
deserves praise.
The editor-in-chief is represented
by an Address to Old Confeder-
ates," one of his most eloquent eff
forts, a continuation of ''The Fiddle
and the Bow" and some character
istic comment in his own depart
ment. Of all the Taylor contribu-
tons, that entitled ''Frenzied
Politics" will perhaps attract most
attention on account of its pungent
and spicy description of the Great
Game as it is sometimes played.
Richmond Pearson Hobson con-
tributes a striking paper on Cotton
and War" showing how the indus
trial future of the South must be
affected by our national policy.
Chancellor Kirkland, of Vanderbilt
University, discusses Training

in his usual finished style, and Chas.
Baskerville, whose recent chemical
discoveries have attracted so much
attention, gives us a suggestive ar
ticle on Serious Problems of Science

Southern Mills" Leonora Beck Ellis
presents an important phase of the
Southern industrial and sociological
problem inamanner at once thought
full and sympathetic, James Henry
Stephenson in "A Royal Residence, "
gives an interesting account of
Windsor Castle.
In fiction the number is especially
rich. A serial novel by Claude M.
Girardeau, is begun, and at once
strikes a most unusual and fascina-
ting note. Grace MacGowan Cook,
Will N. Harden, Roger Pocock, A.
Lyle Peterman, Eva Williams Ma
lone, and G.. D. G. contribute some
good short stories, and there are
poems by Eloise Pickett, Garnet
Noel Wiley, Isabella Howe Fisk and
darcy Moore.
The various departments are full
of interest and attraction.
The illustrations consist of draw
ings by Lamira A. Goodwin, Magma
Treanor Avent and Mayne Cassell,
and half-tone reproductions Of photo
graphs, the latter accompanying the
articles of Chancellor Kirkland, DR..

Chastising Not Necesaary When

The rod, the sparing Of which

cessity be made Of the time-hon-
ored hickory, as is shown in an an
ecdote related by the Washington
Star. An old man, who in his boy
hood received the chastisement.
tells the story. He says it was the
worst logging he ever had, and
that the instrument by which his
father administered it was the
sharpest backed, hardest trOtting,
most awkward old horse ever
seen.

was undeserved, and i know it
cured my propensity for mischief.
] lived then some three miles from
the post Office and eight miles
from friend Of ours who had sold
father a pig to be delivered when
convenient.
One day, when / was in the post
Office with a neighbours boy, this
friend came riding down the road,
and tying his horse, deposited the
bag containing the pig near by.
He was accompanied by miser-
able-looking cur, which sat down
by the bag while his owner went
into the Office. Quick as a wink,
we caught the dog and substituted
him for the pig. We placed the
pig in pen not far off; then we
scurried home.
We were hanging around the
yard when the man with the dog
rode up. Handing father the bag,
he dismounted just as the string
was loosened and the dog jumped
out.

"That dog was a pig when left
home. l put it into the bag my
self"

have you been?"

did you see this bag?"

"Who changed the pig for the
dog?" he demanded.
81 did," l faltered.
1t was a little past supper-time
and l was hungry, and / hoped
father'd fog me and have it over
with. But that wasn't his way.
He just spoke up quiet like;
"Get out Old Rocks, put a bride
on, but no saddle, do you mind, not
even a bag. Take the dog back to
it's owners house, then ride to the
post office, get the pig and bring it
here. No supper for you tonight,
young man."
Off I started, and do what
could, Old Rocks kept up his hard
trot until got back, at nearly
midnight. / rode in all about 1G
miles, and you better believe

razor-backed old horse that

derive a great deal of benefit and all
who are interested in dairying or
creamery work are urged to do so.
The short course for farmers be-
gan January 10th, and will continue

Farmers are welcome to take any
part or all of this course.
