Miss Smith Entertains.

Miss Lula Smith delightfully."-
entertained the I. G. Club Friday
evening. When the guests were
received they found themselves
in a perfect net work of spider
webs which filled the rooms of the
lower floor and even led upstairs.
Each guest was given the end
of one of the strings and a clothes
pin and told to follow and wind
the string until the end was reach
ed. Miss Corinne Vogt was first
in un%tangling the string and was
awarded the prize, q beautiful
picture, while Miss Myrtle john
son was last and was given the
BOBBY prize.
At The end of each was found q
stick of candy and q slip of paper
telling of some special thing each
was expected to do. For the next
hour the guests thoroughly enter
tanned each other with solos, jigs,
descriptions of ideals, expressions
of aims in life and various other
things equally amusing.
Lovely refreshments were serv-
ed and the rest of the evening
was spent in dancing, ending in
jolly style with the old "Virginia
Reel"
This first club meeting was in
deed a pleasant one and the foil
owing guests are truly grateful
to Mrs. Smith and Miss Lula for
their good time: Misses Graves,
johnson, Barley, Suggett, Vogt,
Ferguson, Suggett, Stevens and
Gupton. Messrs Hunter, Cason,
Nuns, Graves, DUNCAN. Barker,
Julian Ham, Barley and Vogt.

Two Rather Hard Hits.

The cynical old bachelor and the
pert young maiden had been hav-
ing a quarrel.
"Did you ever see a man who
painted his cheeks, twisted his
hair up into impossible shapes,
perched on his head a hat made of
feathers and things and then
squeezed his waist into a wasp?
Did you ever see a man do any
thing SO foolish?"
81 eve did," admitted Miss
Costume. "And | never saw a
woman hanging over a bar until
midnight getting rested after a
hard days work; nor fitting her
hat on the back of her head and
wiping her mouth on a dirty towel
hung on the end of a bar; MOI
sta nding on the corner ogling the
men who went by !; nor whooping it
up before men on election day and
voting with the ward heelers and
buns; nor spending a dollar for
cigars for the girls and then growl
BECAUSE her husband spent 30 cents
for a pair of bargain counter shoes
for the baby nor punching around

a sloppy table in a back room and
singing: Soldiers FAREWELL in,
maudlin tones; nor going home
smelling like a combined distillery
and tobacco factory and growing
because her husband didn't have
supper ready; nor splitting out q
big chew of fine cut before pres.-
sing her lips to those of her little
ones; nor spending the last dollar
of the weeks wages for booze when
the family at home was hugging q
cold stove and looking at an empty
larder; nor"
But the cynical bachelor had
fed, slamming the door viciously-
behind him.

What He Read.

We're sup against it," says the
Norwood Park (Ill.) Sentinel. The
other day a man told us he couldn't
subscribe for the Seminal, because
he had too many papers already.
We were interested, and asked how
many Chicago dailies. He read
none. Ho was a subscriber to an
agric ultural paper, because he was
born on a farm; a poultry paper,
because he had chickens; the
weekly "Squib," or something
like that, from some hamlet in
Wisconsin, because he was born
there, and another weekly paper
from some hole in the woolly west
''because he had to brothers and
In uncle living there" He also
had a Sunday school weekly and a
religious journal. If a stranger
had happened around with the
Stree Shave Magazine, he would
have subscribed, because he need
ed a shave badly, but the idea Of
taking the Sentinel because 1t was
his home paper, and informed him
of things going on around him, in
stead OF telling about the doings
Of uncle Josh in the west, didn't
impress him. We hope the adj
mirable gent win move some warm
day, and then he might take the
paper from Norwood Park, "bc.
cause y cot too warm tor him."

SAFE AT HOME.

The world need never shed a
tear for its sainted dead. They
are safe as the harvest is when
the farmer has bound it into
sheaves and stored it away or as
the roses are when the gardener
has wrapped their roots in straw
and housed them from the storm.
They are safe as the lark that fly
singing from the green earth out
of reach of the huntsman's share
and the aim Of the cruel sports
man. They are safe as warriors
who march beneath worn battle
hags no more, but sit down with
conquerors to festivals of song and
wine. They are safe as young
SANDS are when shepherds fold
them from the blast and carry
them over rought places in tender
arms. Weep for the living all
you choose; let your tears be un-
stayed above the dying bed where
your darlings lie like wreaths OF
fading snow beneath the glance OF
death; but if you believe in God,
and hold any faith in heaven, shed
not your tears for the blessed and
happy dead. Christianity gives the
lie to it's belief when it garbs itself
in sables and mourns without COM
fort for those who have exchanged
the inn for the palace, the wilder

n FARM.

IL IL uOJ dIWdyb tuc H6u VIII
raises the largest crop who makes
the most money. Unusually large
crops have been harvested and
sold at q loss. Cultivate and ham
die your crop on money making
ing principles.
Fruit growing to be profitable
requires good care, the same al
any other crop. If the trees OF
plants are neglected, the results
will hardly prove satisfactory but
with good management fruit crops
may be made az profitable as any
other.
Diversified farming is not q
theory, but has been demonstrated
as the one and only successful
method TO conducting a farm. Al
ways manage your crops so that
you will have something coming
in, no matter what the season may
be. To rely wholly or in part up
on maine crop is unwise and not a
money-making proposition.
1t is better says the Agricultural
Epitomist to have a COW that will
give you 300 pounds of butter a
year for five years and then die on
your hands than to have one that
will give you 200 pounds a year
for ten years and then make you
1900 pounds of old COW beat.
The farmer must be as much a
business man as the citizen who
keeps a store in town or who runs
a large wholesale establishment,
and he cannot get away from
methods employed by the sue
cessful men in other lines of BUSH
ness. The thing most notably
lacking IN the farm which is pres
ent in all business houses is sys-
tenn. The farmer may have a de-
finate routine of work, but he
should have a system of book
keeping and take into account
every item of profit and loss. He
will thus be able to eliminate from
year to year his Improbable crops
and let them be grown by the far
mer who a make a profit out of
them. Such a system would add
millions every year to the profits
of our FARMS
Most city men are apt to think
lightly of the agriculturist as a
force in civilization and to sadly
underrate his influence. The voice
from the land is seldom loud. 1t
is not herlded with the trumpet or
brass drum and often when lifted
up in times of great excitement is
not distinctly heard. Middlemen
and financiers who exploit the land
products have the advantage in
reaching the ear, but if the man
with the hoe is in the background
the Importance of his industry can
not be ignored. The very numbers
of the farmers give their opinions
force, since in the long run they
have interests in common. At the
national grange the voice of the
farmers was raised for fair treat
ment by the railroads for the
maintaince and %extention of the
rural free delivery and the install
lation of a system of parcels post.
The nature of their wants is clear,
and the difficulties in the way of
realizing them are apparent. If
they work in one body the future
is with them.

ucator is not yet over, though his
teachings now will be rather neg
alive than positive, by example
rather than precept; the lesson he
is now giving should sink deep
into the hearts and memories of
all young men, as it Is of tremend-
Gus Significance to all, for it de-
monstrates the terrible effects of
disobeying the mandates of hon
esty and straying from the paths
Of uprightness.
The spectacle Is a sad one to be
snatched in a moment, as it were,
fro m the high place he held in the
confidence and esteem of his fell
low men, honored by positions
that gave him place among the
highest and best, a palatial home
W it'll every comfort, a loving fam
lily circle where all was love and
h appiness, a host of admiring
fir lends, respected and loved by
everybody, the idol of hundreds
of teachers and thousands of pu.
pills all are gone, he has exchanged
them for the four walls of a prison
cell and in a little while he will
lose even his name and will be
known simply by number. Even
the dollars for which he sacrificed
SO much they too r gone, every
thing is swept clean and the wife
of his bosom will have to leave
her comfortable home and go out
into the world worse than widowed
to all ,intents and purposes a pau
per; and the friends who have
loved him and upheld him must
all suffer, not from anything Grim
inal they have done, but from the
confidence and friendly feeling
they have for him, and several of
those who were his closest friends
may be striped of reputation and
fortune simply because they were
too confident of his integrity.
Young men, the career of Prof.
Dougherty furnishes a frighful ex-
ample of the necessity of keeping
in the narrow path of honesty. 1t
is dangerous to turn to the right
or left; beware of the first step
outside, it is the crucial test;
without taking the first step you
are safe, but once leave the right
path you v know where your
wanderings may lead you to.
Another lesson taught by Prof.
Dougherty's fall, and we wish to
e emphasize it., that you do not go
do wn alone, all those who loye
and trust you will be O or less
affected by your downfall and
to ey that you love and that love
you most will suffer the most.
The memory of the loved ones
ought to stay your hand when you
are tempted to go wrong. We
doubt if Prof. Dougherty, in his
longe and successful career as an
educator, has ever before taught
SO valuable a lesson as the one to
be drawn from the disclosures and
proceeding which have ended that
career and placed him behind the
prison bars, bereft of home, fort
une and friend, a pariah in soci-
ETY..
Prof. Dougherty furnished but
one of many examples we would
like to place before our young
men, some of them, we regret to
say could be found much nearer
home.
