Fought Iii. Way Through

Many years ago 'plebe' at the
Naval academy astonished an upper
class man by going to him and an
nouncing: See here, don't like the
way my class is being treated The
upper class man was nearly surprised
out OF his wits. but, recovering from
his stupor land only one who knows
the full meaning of rate among tho
midshipman can have a correct appre-
citation of what that announcement
IRON n 'plebe' to an upper class man
carricd), the rating demanded: Mid
shipman, do yon want to fight? That's
what ] am looking for The fight was
arranged and the 'pleba' whipped his
man. Then another youngster was
supplied, and he went the way of the
first. and so on until half dozen
had been discomfitcd Sometimes sew
eral fights would follow in succession.
when the 'plebc' would say: Gentle
men, am tired now; I'll see you again
another day. The academy autrori-
ties found out what was in progress
and sent for the 'plebe', and then.
before official authority, he an
nounced: I can whip the whole class
1t turned out that the 'plebe' had been
prize fighter before entering the
academy."-N, Y. Herald.

The Reminder Worked.

There is no doubt that the tying
of piece of string round the finger is
a really good aid to a poor memory,
but there is n well-authenticated case
of man who tied a piece Of cotton
around his finger in the morning to
remind him to get his hair cut. On
the way home to dinner that evening
he noticed the piece of cotton.
"Ah, yes / remember" he said. And
smiling proudly, he entered the ac-
customed shop, and sat down before
the accustomed artist.
"Er-yes. sir?" said the artist, puz-
zled inquiry in his tone.
"Eh?-oh yes; cut my hair, please,
commanded the absent minded one
curtly.
why, certainly, sir, If you wish it,
said the artist. But you won't mind
my mentioning the fact that / cut II
this morning, will you?"

The late General Isaac ]. Wistar, of
Philadelphia, had multitude of anec-

Why Do We Matt?

And only utter loving praise
When not a whisper can be heard? ?

Close-folded. pulseless. ere we place
Within them roses sweet and rare,
And lilies in their fawless grace ?

To light and love in deaths deep

Above them with impassionetl

Why do We wait till hearts are still
TO tell them all the love in ours,
And give them such late need of praise.
And lay above them fragrant flow

How oft We, careless, wait till lifc's
Sweet opportunities are past,
And break our "alabaster box

Watching our eyes for look Of love,
And hungcring for Il word of praise!

life has a greater variety of attrac-

New England. which enjoys the dis
tinction Of being able to raise a great
er variety Of the substantinls of life
than any other part of the United
states. The farmer has come to real
ize that his calling Is an honorable
and important one. The advent Of
rural free delivery, telephone and other
modern methods has brought him into
touch with the rest of the world. The
New England farmer has health and
happiness and success and the dignity
OF the labor of the farmer is becom-
Ing more and more emphasized. This
is made possible through the agricul-
