THREE FRoNTAGEs OF THE
STORE TREATED IN ARTISTIC
AND HARMONIOUS MANNER
WITH LIGHTS AND. BUNTING.

Of all the decorations none are at
tracing more admiration than those
Of, the Powers Mercantile company. The
unusual size of the store with its great
frontages on three streets made it a
difficult problem to cover SO much
space IN an artistic and harmonious
manner and yet have variety but the
firm, with its usual enterprise, has
managed to overcome the difficulties
the city as well as the firm.
The electrician and the scenic
painter worked for five, weeks to com
plete the striking features of the
decorations, the cost of which was
over $1,000. The designs, which are
exceedingly clever and appropriate, are
the work of Fred E. Powers, now of
Pittsburg. ">ft5

The Boy and the Farm.

The wonderful strides in agricultural
science, as we'll as the vast increase
in the insect enemies of growing things,
has both doomed and deferred farm
work as profession, so that the old
time ideas of farming cannot be said to
bring success except in a very moder-
ate degree. The farming of the future
must be done by the boys and girls of
to-day, and we owe it to our children
to give them the best possible chance
to gain knowledge which will help them
in their life work. If the boy Is Sc
riously Interested in agriculture, 1t will
be a paying investment to give him a
course in an agricultural college
If one cannot afford the full course
of four years, or If the boy is not sufB-
GENTLY well educated to take this
course, give him the shor3er one Of two
years, or, better than nothing, let him
take the short winter course Of from
ten to twelve weeks and study the
particular branch In which he Is inter
ested. You will find that his inter
est in the work will be enough greater
to warrant the expense. True, he may
not learn a great deal In the short
course, but it will be enough to open
his eyes to the possibilities, and he will
be placed on the right track to study
and work by himself. Talk to the boy
about it, and write to the agricultural
college of your State for detailed in
formation.

TALE OF LovE-AND TWO FOOLS.
Not the Kind of Story That Generally
Gets Into Books.

Once upon a time, Henry, a young
woman and young man fell deeply in
love with each other He fell in love
with her because she was the Sweet
est Thing Her lips were like twin
rubies, but softer; her cheeks were
like blush roses and her hair was like
Roman gold; that is, when it was
roamin'. but generally she kept it
done up. Oh, she was a peach! and
/ should blame no man who possessed
no sabe in particular for falling in
love with her.
The young woman fell in love with
the young man because he was-ne
was-Tm blessed if l know why she
did fall in love with him, Henry, for
he was about as knock-kneed, wab-
ble-legged, low-browed, sick-brailed
an apology for nothing in particular
as ever l ran across, and have met
several of the species.
Anyway, they loved each other,
and so they concluded to hitch up and
trot double. Accordingly they went
to parson, who gave them double
trotting license and expressed a hope
that what God had joined together no
man would put asunder, although he
had his own suspicious.
Thus were this charming pair
united, and ne soon discovered that
she could neither sew, cook, keep
house nor do anything useful, while
she discovered that he was not worth
the powder to blow him. On, tell
YOU. it was painful, Henry, and after
this mutual discovery you should
have seen the fur fly. If they had
saved the fur instead OF throwing 1t
around she might have been the envy
of all the ladies in her circle. 1t is
sad to see good fur wasted in such
a reckless manner.
1t grieves me, Henry, to be COM
PEELED to record that this pair now
have secured a divorce and each one
of them at the present time is en-.
gagged in the delightful enterprise Ct

Lord be merciful to such an individ-

realize, Henry, that this is not
the sort of love story that generally
gets into books, but, on the contrary,
it is the variety that gets into life
all too frequently. So 1 guess we
may as we'll have the moral of the pa
thetic tale.

SONG.

When darkness hides me, dearest,
And when this face, now ever in thy
sight,
Becomes a dream to haunt the silent
night,
And vanish when the busy noon is
clearest:
Then, dear, the love l gave thee,
Which ever for thy coming lay in wait,
Exacting often the importunate,
Shall be a memory to bless and save
thee.
Some little foolish saying
Will wander back unto thee from the
past,
Like a stray rose-branch DER thy path
way cast,
With flowers and thorns thy careless
steps waylaying.
June roses in December,
Dream roses, yet their phantom thorns
give pain,
Somewhere, somehow, when we two meet
again,
How much must we forget, how much
remember.

cLIeeINe WORK HoRsEs.
The Removal of the Coat in Early
Spring Strongly Advocated.

~ -
A horse is a valuable asset. and
should receive the best care possible.
He should be well fed, comfortably
stabbed, carefully groomed and clipped
in the early spring. If he receives
these attentions he will work well and
improve in value, A horse lives I'M
der artificial conditions. In his wild
state he required none Of these atten-
tions, for he was able to look out for
himself. The domesticated animal, be-
ing worked under conditions that are
in themselves artificial, must be kept
in condition for such work.
The clipping of horse in the early
spring is now conceded by all the
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tiaI to horses well being as shoe
ing him or giving him comfortable
bed TO lie on. Farmers in England
and France have been clipping their
horses for many years, and American
farmers are not slow to realize its
advantages. A clipped horse dries
out rapidly after hard days work,
and will rest comfortably. An I'M
clipped horse is liable to catch the
heaves, pneumonia and all sorts of
colds, rheumatism, etc. More especial
ly is this SO in the early spring. when
his hair is long and he is soft" II
worked hard he will perspire freely,
and the moisture will be held by his
long hair, and the food that should
go to nourish him will be used to
replenish the heat that is being con-
stantly taken from his body by the
mass of cold, wet hair. If clipped,
the perspiration will evaporate almost
as soon as secreted, and when put in
the stable he rests comfortably and
his food does him good.
Some years ago a Buffalo street
car company tested the value of clip
ping in the following manner: They
owned 500 horses, and $50 of these
were clipped A careful record was
kept of results. and it was found that
of the $50 unclipped horses 1873 were
afflicted with coughs and pneumonia,
while of the 250 clipped not one case
of. sickness was reported
A man would not expect to en-
joy very good health if he did hard
manual work clothed with heavv I'M
derwear, a heavy suit and a fur over
coat, and after perspiring freely, as
he naturally would, go to sleep with
out removing same. 1t is just as
ridiculous to expect a horse to be in
perfect health if worked under the
same conditions.
If you would get the best returns
from your investment in your horse
treat him right, and be. sure to clip
him in the early spring Re
