They Dread RidicuIe.

According to a missionary, the JAP
Anese are so sensitive to ridicule that
one reason why children are SO sell
dom punished for faults is that they
can be SO easily laughed out of them.
The fear of riricule, in fact, accord
ing to the authority has had no small
pant in forming the Japanese charac-
ter, promoting the national zeal for
efficiency, and the minute attention to
clothing, manners and speech.
At Japanese school the children
were once asked what they consid-
cred the most dreadful thing in the
world. ALL sorts of answers were
given-murder, ingratitude, earth

said that in his opinion the worst

"FARM LIFE" By A FARMER.

At the last meeting of the Cecil Farmers
Club Mr.. G. Ross Biles, an active member of
the organization, read specially prepared es-
say on Farm Life" in part as follows:
Farm life is very different today from what
1t was when / was boy, or when began,
forty years ago. 1t is useless for me to tell of
the many changes, as they are well known to
all of you, or to most of you at least. The
advantages are many, while the disadvantages
Pare not a few. To derive the full benefits from
the farm it is not best to depend on any one
thing, but have variety and if you miss one,
you will probably hit another. Be prompt;
always have time for doing everything, and
everything done in time.
1.-THE greatest disadvantage of today is not
being able to secure help. Why is it This is
a question that must be solved. for it is very
serious one. Is it because the young folks have
been taught at home that there is nothing in
farming but hard work that there is an easier
life, and if they wish to be of importance they
must become professional men or must migrate
to the city think it is a great mistake not to
encourage the rising generation to stay in the
country. While 1 admit man will not be-
come millionaire at farming, yet man on
the farm can do without the millionaire; but
what becomes of the millionaire when you do
away with the farmer? Let the farmer be
prosperous, and our country is prosperous, for
the farm is the foundation of all industry.
Take any industry and trace it down and you
will find that it depends on the country and the
man who tills the soil. This being the case,
then, why should we not be proud of our &C.
cupation as farmers2
Through improved transportation facilities
the country is becoming suburb of the city.
This, believe, accounts for the scarcity of help,
for just such boys and girls as we have in the
country are in constant demand in the cities,
which, with shorter working hours and places
of amusement and alluring attractions, are
very enticing. Why should we as country
people desire to forsake our country homes?
1t will be but a short time, and have reached
the age that one of our noted physicians has
said a man should be removed from this life,
as his day of usefulness is done. If this be
true, want all the advantage possible for the
country to give during the few short years that

The degree to which solids slowly intermix is
one of the recent surprising discoveries. A New
Zealand teacher mentions the dark patches
which appear opposite the steel winding-stems
on the inside of silver watch-cases forty or fifty
years old, tests showing that these patches are
iron which has yaporized dissolved in the silver,
and diffused into the solid metal. Still more
remarkable is an instance of the penetration of
carbon into porcelain. Fresh pencil marks are
easily removed from an old porcelain writing
tablet, but some notes written forty years ago
have sunk into the tablet to considerable depth
and cannot be erased

scripts or printed matter, the object is placed
face upward on a table, and a mirror is arranged
above it at an angle of 42o. The reflection is
focused in the camera in tn usual way. A
smooth surface bromide or negative paper is
used instead of glass plate, and the picture
shows white letters on dark background. With
proper exposure and development positive
print is unnecessary, the characters being as

earn good salary. A young lady

could manage to get along, provid-
ed the young man doesn't play
billiards, smoke, cigars or drink
booze. II he does, $50 won't last
him a week. 1t takes money to
keep up young husband who goes

it out when they tackle the job.

Is II Worth While.

Is it worth while to fret and
worry because certain things have
been denied you, when you could
scarcely enumerate your blessings
if you tried? Better spend the time
in endeavoring to cultivate CRATE
full, happy spirit, and the sunshine
that wells up III your heart will
overflow and come back to you in
a thousand ways.
Is it worth while to make your
self miserable if others speak ill of
you and attribute your actions to
wrong intentions? Their judgment
after all, is feeble. and may vary
with the wind. Learn to live in
beautiful, calm atmosphere,of re-
ligion and high ideals, and the i'll
natured words CT others will scarce
ly be needed by you.
Is it worth while to let the little
petty annoyances of every day
sour your disposition and make
you a burden to others? If you
have learned to smile when the
meat is tough or the cook leaves
Unexpectedly, you are pretty sure
to have a happy home. A man
may overlook a bad dinner oc-
casionally, but he grows weary of
a frowning face.
Is it worth while to be discour
aged because you have failed in
some undertaking? Success comes
only to the brave heart and after
repeated effort. If we work for an
object and long for it with all our
hearts, it will most probably come
to us, though seldom at the time
or in the manner we expected; and
should it never come, this frail
life is not our final rest.
Is it worth while to say unkind
things of others, when by doing so
we injure ourselves mere than we
do them? Better a word of pity
for a fallen brother, since we know
not but that we may share his fate.
In a word, is it worth while to
stop and gather thorns and thistles,
when fragrant flowers are beckon-
ing to us from tree and hedge; but
we must reach up to gather them,
they will not come down to US

A CENTURY OLD WARRIOR.
Spent Most Of His Days Far From Civil.
ization and the White Man.

Clinton, Ok.-In the death o
Mad Wolf. the once noted wa
chief, on his allotment near thi
city a few days ago, there passed
to the happy hunting ground al
unique character of the Cheyennt
tribe of Indians.
Making his advent upon the
stage of life almost if not quite :
century ago, his early days were
spent far away from the white
man and civilization. Rowing over
the almost boundleSs plains, hunt,
ing the buffalo and antelope. he
grew up a typical Indian brave,
his highest ambition being to be-
come a noted warrior. With his
people he fought at Adobe Walls,
where his only son was killed. He
claimed to have been in Custer :
last fight.
The old man enjoyed nothing
more than to sit down, and by the
aid of an interpreter talk to his
white friends Of his many adven-
lures. He would tell of the raids
made by his people into Texas and
Mexico. In one incident he related
that a number of Cheyennes went
on an expedition to Mexico.
In addition to stealing horses,
they at this time took captive sew
eral Mexican girls. When they had
gone for two days and nights with
out sleep, thinking they we're now
cut of danger, they placed Mad
Wolf on guard at the top of the
hill while the remainder of the
party went into camp in the valley
below to get much needed rest.
True to the trust confded in
him, Mad Wolf watched the long
night almost through. but just as
the dawn began to break sleep
overcame him, when suddenly he
lwoke to find the white soldiers al
most upon him. There was no time
% give warning to those below in
he valley; twas all he could do to
ave himself.
Ere the sun was an hour high
III his comrades lay dead on the
round. After days of travel, and
frequently from hunger
nd thirst, Mad Wolf reached his
amp alone, in disgrace, no troph-
rs, no companions.
Poor old man, he was ever true
0 the traditions of his fathers.
While he chung to the ways and
of his race, he never
orgot kindness and was ever
rue to those whom he considered
is friends.
In one thing he was far above
lie average Indian, and that was
is devotion and loyalty to his
life. When she grew old and blind
e did not throw her aside, as is
lie Indian custom, but tenderly
lred for her, and there was moth
lg more touching than to see him
leading her by the hand,
: taking tne dinner given him in
imp to be divided with the poor
ind woman.
When she died he had her buried
Y the white minister, and could
ot himself rest until an enclosure
I'd been placed around her grave
order that she might not be dis
rbed by cattle tramping over her
ave.
