Where Education Stopped.

From the Chicago Post.
 "Under no circumstances permit any one to kiss you."-Circular issued to all schools in Indiana by the state board of health.
 SHE was young and she was pretty; she was plump and she was witty, and she had those witching manners that are dangerous to hearts; HE was big and bold and brawny. with a mustache that was tawny, with the sort of will that conquers every hin drance when it starts. SHE had come from Indiana to a ranch out in Montana where she met the brawny hero with the tawny, long mustache;
 AND her heart went pitter-patter when with rush and roar and chatter he upon his bucking broneho out across the plains would dash. so you've got the plot completely; yes, she smiled upon him sweetly, and he stammered like a school boy when she fixed him with her eyes; YES, twas awfully romantic-by some knowledge necromantic she had soft ened all his heartstrings that he thought were made of steel; AND the maid from Indiana-well, the hero in Montana had a true and rugged manner that possessed a great appeal
 CAME an evening dimly soulful when the breeze's song was doleful, and they sauntered close together in the shad- ows sweet and cool. THEN he told the old, old story while the stars shone in their glory-and she sighed: Tn Indiana, l. alas! have gone to school.' BUT he did not comprehend her. he seized on her fingers slender and he vowed that her refusal meant a lifetime of distress
 THEN, his yearning accents flushing, she, aglow with bashful blushing. set his heart to humping wildly with her gently whispered "Yes." All! He drew her swiftly to him and thrill of joy went through him-but an instant later something shattered all his dream of bliss. FOR the maid from Indiana told the hero in Montana: "1n the schools in In- diana we were taught we musn't kiss
 THEN he looked upon her sadly-O, he really felt badly,-and he moaned a bitter moaning at the cruelty of fate
 BUT her lips came close and closer. and she murmured: Do you know sir I was schooled in Indiana, but I didn't graduate!"

SOUTH WANTS MEN.
Europe is Being Ransaeked to Provide
 Farm Laborers.

The Call of the Cultivated is so loud that the Call of the Wild seems pretty faint in comparison. All over the country the farmers are bowling for laborers.
 The voice of the south comes on every breeze. Scarcely one of the southern states but has sent it's agent abroad to try to direct immigration to it's own par ticular boundaries.
 Whole colonies of immigrants are being planted along the railway lines, and still the cry is for more.
 Already several hundred German farm CTS have been located along the Southern Railway between Richmond and Danvlle. Va. Hungarians, Germans and Poles are to be found on farms between West Point and Richmond These settlements are growing constantly, says the Charleston News and Courier, and the farmers are sending to the mother country for their friends and relatives.
 At Valdese, N C., fifty families of 1tal- ian farmers have been organized into profitable community, and they. too, are inducing colonies of their countrymen to come out to America.
 Russian farmers are now engaged in trucking at Aiken, s. C., and near Sum- merville little band of French Canadian farmers are in similar pursuits, with most encouraging results. At Lumber City. Ga. Italian farmers and woodworkers have found the country sawmills in that vicinity so remunerative that they are urging their countrymen to come there.
 From Birmingham, Ala, to Greenville, Miss, Italians have been secured as cot ton growers. From Mobile to Birmingham there are scattered settlements of German Hungarian and Polish farmers, whose abilities and energies have made marked difference in. the neighborhood where they have established themselves.
