The cigarette fiend is being hit
hard upon all sides in the business
world. The Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad company has an
nounced that every employe found
smoking cigarettes for the company
will no longer give him employment,
they have ascertained to their sat
isfaction that the cigarette fiend can
not, or does not. perform his duties
in as satisfactory a manner as does
the other fellow. This is poor en-
conra cement for our boys.

mething New About Farm Help.


This is the title of an article in the
last Farm and Fireside. written by one
of their regular contributors. We do
not remember having read anything
for long time, which more fully just
flied its title:
Last fall | received a letter from a
farmer who said he had learned some
thing new and he wanted to tell me
about it. After reading the letter |
decided that he really had learned
something new, and that quite a num-
ber of others might be benefited by
the lesson. | will give parts of his
letter.
"Just then one of my men got a let
ter from a cousin of his who is work
ing his way through college. asking
if he knew anybody that was wanting
a man to work i'm the house. to do
hOusewOrk. He said he had done lots
of it, was fairly good cook. and knew
just how to take hold and do things
up right. He wanted twenty dollars a
month, board and washing. and his
railroad fare, which would be about
three dollars each way. He said be
would begin work at five in the morn
ing. work till two p. m., then have two
hours for study, then work till seven,
when he would quit for the day
''Wife and 1 talked it over, and had
the man write for him to come on He
proved to be a strapping young fellow,
twenty years old, and a typical stu
dent. He talked straight from the
shoulder, and said he expected to do
hOusewOrk. and he would feed no
calves. pigs nor chickens, and neither
would he work the garden. He would
gather fruit and get the vegetables
out of the garden for the table, churn.

ing after chickens other than to get
them for the table | did not object to
his IDEAS particularly. except his rule

Hundreds of times we did not get sup
per before that time. many times not
until eight, and even nine He said
there was no sense in any such way
of doing business. That if we would
quit earlier and rest up properly, we
could do much more the next day. be
cause we would feel more able to
work. and do good work He said for
us to be in to supper at six and we
would find it all ready. Then get the
milk in right after supper and he
would have everything cleared up and
away by seven. Then we might live
an hour or so before bedtime

Grandma's days. | know women who
are doing their hOuSewOrk exactly as
they did it twenty years ago. In Il
very few minor particulars they have
improved. but in the main they are in
the same tracks they started in. One
farmers wife told me that there was
plenty of chances for improvement
in teamwork. but very few or none for

Farmers are complaining about the
difficulty of obtaining help on the

they are largely to blame for this.

help that is not at all desirable, gener

Gen. Matt Heads Decline.

The late Gen. Matt Head of Hook.
sett, n. H., former governor of New
Hampshire, was man of imposing
appearance and of generous proper
lions. A fui' length portrait of Gen.
Head adorned his bed chamber, being
placed at the end of the room, OBJ
posite the feet of the bed.
During his absence, in attendance
upon a reception given the governor
and his staff in Boston, Mrs. Head re-
arranged the room, and changed the
pcs ton of the picture, substituting
for Gen. Heads portrait one of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Gen. Head returned late upon the
following evening, and retired at once.
Upon awaken ng the next morning the
frs; ject that met his gaze was the
tall, ank fern of the ma:tyred Presi-
dent occupying the accustomed place
of his own portrait, and his charac.
teristic comment was: my God, how
haze fallen Tway!"

Two of the heaviest members of the
hub were Enos Adams, prominent
lanufa cturer, and Oliver Ayres, who
zach tipped the beam at 800 pounds,
With James B. Meacheam, leading
