quarter section, 100 acres of land, 10 a
gentleman of our county He was a
farmer, but there are plenty of gentle
men farmers and as big a percentage
OF farmers are gentlemen as YOU VIII
ma IN any other class or people. By
this 1 do not mean that they are as
tnoroughly posted on the rules of
euquette as you viii ind laid down in
the DOCKS on that subject but you al
ways get nice treatment and the best
they can give you of what they have,
tnaJ you may want when you visit
them in their homes In fact YOU al
ways get nice treatment so far as it can
pc supplied. This gentleman died in
ASoo- foIowing his death, his widow
sent US the rent on the land he had
been renting and made application to
tease Inc land herself. We made her
lease on the same terms her husband
Hdd the land, One-third of the crops
raised on the land, and five dollars for

weeks ago we had a postal card from
her staining that she was about to
tnfeSh the wheat and oats crop. giving

olie uoWn 10 see that we got our full
snare or the rent. We replied to this
lhat she should take our share of the
crops TO the nearest railroad station
and sell it and send US her check for
the proceeds thereof A few days| later
we received her check for S566.9O, the
proceeds of the wheat and oats crop
and statement from her that she had
q acres of kaff1r corn yet to be ac-
counted for and the five dollars pasture
rent. Ihis Will make a total income
rom the land for the year at fully
Sl,SoO. Of which she has $1,000. IN
ADDITION to this she doubtless has hun
dredS of dollars for no1l1trv and eggs

circus. the we'll loved wagon shows Of
our boyhood. are undergoing the evo-
luton of the period. and the enter
priSing owner of a circus announces
that the coming year his wagons viii
be abandoned and his show Will go
about the country by automobile.
The Snowman says he has thought
the matter we'll over before he decided
on this. He says he realizes that the
average person cherishes a sort of ro-
mantle affection for the wagon show
and that people, in general, delight in
watching the wagons come into town
drawn by four. six or eight spanking
horses. The automobile will spoil all
this. but the Snowman says he believes
he can get around to better advantage
by automobile. and that it Will be
CHEAPER.
