Just think of it! Nearly six
and a half billion dollars dug out
of the ground by the Drawn and
brain of American farmers in a
single year.
The estimated value Of farm
products in 1880 was only a lit
tie over two billion dollars; show
ing that this year the American
farmers produced three times as
much in money value as they did
fifteen years ago. Commenting
on this magnificent growth of
the farmers wealth the Chicago
Evening Post says:
"This unprecedented prosper
ity has caused the farmers lines
to fall in pleasant places. His
boys and girls are going to COL
lege. The telephone keeps him
in close touch with his neighbors
the town and the markets. The
rural free delivery gives him the
postal advantages of the city.
The trolley car in many instan-
ces passes almost by his door.
In his home are music and books,
every needed comfort and not a
few luxuries. Why should the
boys leave all this? Why take
their chances in the fierce COM
petition of the city, when life on
the farm offers 50 much without
worry and with only a reason
able amount of physical exertion,
thanks to this age of the ma

LOuiSviIIe'S New Mayor.

Notwithstanding the fact that
Mayor Barth is going to reduce
tax rate to $1.8O and at the same
time allow more money for street
cleaning, sewers and other pur-
poses and maintain the effic-
iency of every department, it is
learned that the public schools
will get more money this year
than ever before.
All Louisville citizens are proud
of the city's school system and
Mayor Bath is interested in it.
He wants to see it improve and
grow and the weight of his infu-
ence as Mayor is being thrown in
this direction.
After the amount of money for
the schools had been agreed upon
Mayor Barth went futher, added
One-fourth of one per cent of the
tax rate to be applied for
maintaining t h e Kindergarten
schools. Last year the feature
of the shool work was neglected
but this year the kindergardens
will receive between So, 900 and
$4,000 more than previously and
this amount will enable those in
charge to have more Of these
schools and to improve their eff
ciency.-
MayoI Barth is making these
strides without hampering any
of the other departments, but by
using the pruning knife on USE
less offices and expenditures. =

The Human Bows
ACquiSifiVneSS.

In the pocket of a small boy
brought pefore Justice of the
peace in Chicago, a few days ago
was discovered, in addition to
the chain of a poor box which he
was accused of looting, a missel-
laneous assortment of articles the
the character of which would
have a decided tendency to pre-
JUDGE one in his favor.
For instance, there was found
among other things, a sea shell,
two lead pencil stubs, a collection
of buttons -pantaloon, coat and
campaign; a knife, an iron star,
a lot of keys, a slungshot, a hook
and eye, some fish hooks, a nee
die and thread, a piece of wax,
some prize tickets, a few beer
checks, a base ball, some premas-
ticated chewing gum and other
articles of a similar nature.
The Boy who goes around pick
up odd trifes and depositing them
in his pockets, in the hopes that
some day he can trade them off
for some odd trifies which anoth-
er boy has accumulated, is not
possessed with mind that is
prone to evil. He is too much of
a boy to do harm of any kind de-
liberately. He might empty a
poor box, to be sure, not because
he meant to steal, but, rather out
of curiosity, and in the hope of
adding to his collection. The
chain of the poor box would be
priced by him more highly than
its contents, assuming that it had
any contents.
The justice of the peace ex-
pressed wonder that a boy could
carry so many small things in his
pocket. He is not the first to be
amazed over the phenomenon. A
boy will put into his pocket any,
thing and everything that his
pocket can by any possibility be
made to hold and is only in ac-
cordance with a well-known law
of nature.
