 The above are some uf the sayings and practices of J R. McLendon, ths Montgomery county farmer.
 The words of Mr. McLendon are worth the while of every farmer and every business man, for what applies in one line may be applied and worked out with profit to another. Mir. Mo- eLndon had one of the finest displays in Montgomery we have ever seen. in fact, his display would have done credit to any county.

sorry for the poor invalid, and felt he
was doing an act Of genuine philan-

One evening late, as he was smok-

sister of the subject Of his thoughts
approac ching him.

she said, placing in his hand a NINA

In India. "She wanted me to ask you
If you couldn't come over to the cot

Clinton Calorme followed her. With

The need Of more men In the army
and in the navy is attracting serious
attention. General Mills, the chief Of
artillery, reports that, although nearly
1900 officers and men are required
to man the coast defenses of the Unit
ed States, only a few more than IA,
900, of all ranks, are available. The
need Of more artillerists Is especially
pressing, for modern guns are compli-
Gated machines, knowledge of which
cannot be mastered in a moment. The
same need Is felt In the navy. The
present complement-otficers and men
lncluded-is only about one-half what
1t should be to man the ships properly
In time of war. Seven thousand addi.
tional enlisted men alone are required
The need in the navy increases, OF
course, whenever a new war vesse
goes into commission.

THE APRIL FOOL.


OF all the schoolmasters Of the nine
teenth century, says the author of "Six
Great Schoolmasters," Doctor Kennedy,
head master of Shrewsbury, England
1886 to 1856, was in many respects the
most remarkable. One of the most
striking Of his characteristics was his
remarkable memory.
Few members OF the United Service
could have We'd with him in familiarity
with naval and military annals. In
Wellingtons dispatches he was as
much at home as in 1nucydides.
He once met the late Commander
Maynard at the house Of his brother-in-
law, Mr.. How, when the conversation
turned upon a certain naval engage
ment in the details of which the COM
mander considered himself we'll post
ed. What was his surprise to find that
the schoolmaster not only knew the
name Of every ship engaged, but their
exact positions during the fight, and
was in every way better informed on
the subject than he was himself.
Another instance of Kennedy's &C
curate store of knowledge occurred
when certain boy, who had to show
up an original copy of verses, was &C
hard put to it that he searched out 6
certain rare and obscure classic, COPIED
out a dozen or so lines, and sent then
up to the doctor as his own. "Ah, yes,
said Kennedy, beautiful verses! And
If remember right, they go on thus,
and he proceeded to quote the rest O
the piece"
An amusing anecdote Is told of hi
kindly humor and readiness to forgive
On the first Of April mischievous boz
had put the clock forward and cause,
the bell for morning chapel to be run
an hour too soon. The delinquent wa
discovered, and much alarmed by a
invitation to call on the doctor a littl
before noon, at the usual place of exc
cution.
Swish! But, strange TO say, the Gu
prit was untouched. Swish! as b,
, fore. The boy Was still trembling &c
, the third stroke, when there came tt
, words, go away, you April fool!"

WHAT ENERGY WILL DO.


What the official board of Brook
Ign hospital was unable to do, that
is, to get q second horse for Its ambu-
lance, was accomplished by a boy. This
lad, says the New York Tribune, was
brought into the hospital with severe
cuts and burns on July Fourth. The
doctors begged him to rake some anes-
thetic while the injuries were being
dressed, but he pluckily refused.
In the same room at the time were
two other doctors, discussing what
severe strain the hot weather had been
on the ambulance service. 1t was stat
ed that the work was proving too much
for the single horse, and the fear was
expressed that he might give out Men
ton was made Of the fact that various
appeals for money to buy another horse
had been unsuccessful. No thought was
taken that the boy, who was suffering
great pain, had paid any attention to
the conversation in regard to the need
for another horse. But he was on the
alert, as was shown later.
He was In the hospital FOUR days
during which time he became great
favorite among the nurses and doctors
on account of his sunny disposition
One day early In August he came bach
and asked for the superintendent.
"Have you got that extra ambu
lance horse you wanted?" he asked.
He was told that the horse was still
only In prospect.
"Well. I've been collecting money 70
that horse" he said, land l expect sool
to have enough to buy as fine on
as there is in Brooklyn"
Then he showed a much-worn sub
scription list, which showed pledges o
from ten cents to several dollars
amounting in all to nearly ten dollars
The boy had canvassed all the stors
keepers in the vicinity, and his enthu'
iasm had won small amounts froI
them.
This showing Of interest on the pal
of the boy so encouraged the Official
of the hospital that they renewed the
efforts for money, and the prospect
now that the second horse will be pu
chased In a short time. There Is tai
of naming him after the boy, who's
appreciation of the care that had bee
taken of him had made the ACOUSTIC
possible.

Almost anything is likely to happen
to us II we just sit around and wait.
The man who kills himself because
he has lost all interest in life should
always give himself six months more
when he seems to be at the very end
Of his rope. In those six months 1t Is
within the bounds Of possibility that
his mine may begin to pay dividends,
that he will find $40 gold piece on
the sidewalk. that somebody will
think he is a pretty good fellow and
leave him $4,000 In his will, that he
will see a good dog fight or get a
chance to beat the coal trust. Don't
kill yourself. Wait!

Is Hetty Green happy? An eastern
paper has devoted a page to a sympo-
stun of views on this question. I'm |
fortunately, Hetty's own view was not
included. The consensus of conviction
was that she Is an unhappy woman be-
cause she is so rich that she Is to bc
pitied because she lives friendless and
alone; that she is mean because she
wrangles with the grocer and washes
her own clothing, and that she cannot
be happy because she walks in "a vain
shadow" and disquiets herself, heaps
up riches and cannot tell who will
gather them The value Of this decision
depends entirely on the point Of view.
If q symposium of multi-milliona1res
should tell US that Hetty Green must
be unhappy because she is rich, we
should be bound to believe them, for
from actual experience they would
know whereof they speak. But the
fact is that we hear precious few rich
people complaining that riches bring
unhappiness. So it is quite safe for
us to guess that some people may be
happy, though rich, just as some others
may be unhappy. though poor. Is the
scientist unhappy because he has made
more discoveries than his fellows? Is
the scholar unhappy because he knows
more than the average man? Then why
must the one who devotes his acumen
and zeal to business be unhappy be
cause they have achieved for him more
than is gained by most? The money
maker finds his Joy in his work, JUS
as any other man does. Simply be
cause he has emancipated himself from
