The MfstIetOe.

Many conflicting tales have been
told about the mistletoe-how it came
TO be one of Cupid's strongest cards.
In the old Morse mythology curses
were heaped upon the unlucky plant
because it had been the innocent in
strument of the death of Baldur the
Beautiful, who was beloved by all the
gods except Lolki, the mischief maker,
who naturally was envious enough to
connive at ways to put Baldur out of
the way.
But while the sorrowing gods were
heaping curses upon the plant the god
dess of love stopped them and, catch
ing up the very plant which had slain
Baldur, eXhorted them all in memory
of the bright, beautiful, gentle god to
greet each other whenever they saw it
with q kiss.
"Baldur is dead, indeed" she said,
"but Baldur's spirit lives, and that
spirit is love. Let us use the very
thing that killed him as symbol of
love-"
She hung the branch up, and one by
one the angry gods passed out, hushing
their sorrow at his death.

The BOY on the Enrm.

The boy on the farm should receive
encouragement. His is q hard job.
There is nothing under the sun, moon
or stars that he is not expected to do
from currying the horses before sunup
to milking the cows after shutdown. If
he Is Of school age he escapes some Of
the Jar Of farm work, but generally
finds pretty good allowance await
Ing him when he comes home. In this
day of scarce farm help 1t is blessing
to farmer to have a boy, or several
boys, for that matter, who can help.
1t Is still more of blessing to have q
boy who does his tasks cheerfully and
well. There is not much In this long
houred apprenticeship except board
and clothes, and so every father should
give his son encouragement. Give him
some Of the farm animals which he
can call his own. Let him raise some
stock and feed them on his own ac-
count. He will consider he is amply
repaid then for all the work he does.
II this plan were followed there would
be fewer boys wanting to come to
town.-Plttsburg Press.

A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women In
Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman
of 55 Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. j., who is a
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. She has
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. 1t is prudent
to heed Such ADVICE from
such a source.
Mrs. Pohlman writes:
81 am firmly persuaded,
after eight years of experience
with Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, that it
is the safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman to
use."

this-merit alone can produce such re-

diseases known to medicine.

MAINE ORANGES.
AN EXCELLENT SHOWING FOR THE
PINE TREE STATE.

Membership Is Now Nearly $4,000.
Mr.. Gardner Reelected Master of
the Maine State Grange - Grange
Halls Valued at $S14,OOO.
The grange In Maine is In q highly
satisfactory condition. Since State
Master Gardner has been in the chief
office 10000 members have been added
to the roll in the state. At the present
time there are about $4,000. On Oct. 1
BS7 subordinate oranges were reported,
but since that time several more have
been organized. Fifty-one oranges of
the state have each a membership Of
over 200, the largest being Houlton,
with SS7 members, Oct. 1. There are
twenty-siX Pomona oranges in the six
teen counties of the state.
Mr.. Gardner said: eve stand alone in
respect to the number of grange halls
owned by the oranges as compared with
any state in the Union. By an actual
inventory of the property we have in
vested in grange homes $S14,000, which
is the best evidence of the stability and
permanency of the Order"
That the Maine state grange is n
working body is evidenced by the char
acter of the resolutions adopted. Among
these were the following: Demanding
legislation that will be more effective
in regulating the driving Of automobiles
on the highways; indorsing the Adams
bill, now before congress- for increas-
ing the annual appropriation for agri-
cultural experiment stations; favoring
the initiative and referendum in mu-
nicipal, state and national affairs; rec
ommending that farmers take active
steps to raise their own grain instead
of buying from the west; urging strong
action against the gypsy and brown
tail moth insects; Offering premium of
$50 and $15 for the best essays on in
furious insects and method of combat
ing them; favoring the reporting of the
state grange proceedings only by an
authorized representative. This latter
resolution called out considerable dis
cussion, inasmuch as some derogatory
reports had appeared in the daily pa
pers concerning the proceedings of the
grange. 1t is probable that hereafter
the custom of the national grange will
be followed in selecting one paper IL

Janet came out of the long red farm

buttoning her dogskin gloves. The
keen, bright cold Of the November

cheeks and an awakening sparkle to
her cool gray eyes. She fastened the
gloves with final tug and ran down
the path to where a man and two
horses stood, just beyond the gate.

ELECTING OFFICERS.
The Present Method Consumes Much
Tfme-Improvement Suggested.

Ine Present MethO0 consumes Much
Time-Improvement Suggested.
Much valuable time is lost In the
grange by the usual method of elect
Ing officers. In the state grange time
is more valuable than in the county or
subordinate grange, and yet 1t not in
frequently occurs that day or more
must be given over to the election. 1t
would seem that some method might be
devised to lessen the time for this or
der. of business. The New York state
grange will try the blanket ballot sys-
tenn this year. The titles Of the offices
to be filled will be printed ON the bal
lots, with blank lines opposite each for
writing in the voters choice. The full
list of names is to be voted on the first
ballot. If any candidates fail to re-
ceive majority on the first ballot new
ballots are distributed and votes taken
until all the Offices have been filed.
This system is time saver in two
ways. First, 1t is almost certain that
several candidates will be chosen on
the first ballot; second, the grange
may go about other business while the
tellers are canvassing the ballots, as
they cannot where each candidate is
voted for separately, and the vote is
called out by the tellers as canvassed.
Those who insist on the present meth
cd in vogue i'll the national grange
and in many state oranges where the
n oin ~ 81
gives all present an opportunity to
check off the same and thus prevent
errors will not be in favor of the blan-
ket ballot, but these are few when
compared with the many who will
favor it on account of the saving in
time and who are willing to trust to-
the honesty of the tellers.
There are two or three practical
methods of canvassing the blanket
ballot. Each office may be canvassed
separately by placing in different piles
the ballots cast for the different can
didates for given office. Take first
that of master. Place all ballots for
the same candidate in q pile by them
selves and then count the ballots each
receives; then canvass for overseer,
and so on through the list. But bet
ter plan, because it saves more time,
is to have either four or six tcllers,
who should work in pairs, the one an
nouncing each candidates vote and
the other recording it. Each pair will
canvass different candidate. No. ]
pair will take master, and as fast as
they record the votes they pass the
ballots to Nc. pair, who will canvass
overseer. They count and record and
Immediately pass the ballots along to
No. pair, who canvass lecturer, and
so on until completed. The tellers need
not stop to make footings, but as soon
as each Office is canvassed the record
should be passed to the clerk Of the.
canvassing board, who will make the
footings and announce the result to
the grange. This he may do when the
entire ticket is completed or as soon as
each Office is canvassed. The latter
method serves to interest the grange
If 1t is not otherwise engaged.
