About Kissing Mother

The Garden City Telegram knows a father who. in talking to his care less daughter, said: "I want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you noticed careworn look upon her face. Of course, it has not been brought there by any net of yours; still it is your duty to chase it away. l want you to get up tomorrow morning and get breakfast. When your mother comes and begins to express her surprise, go right up to her aud kiss her in the mouth. You cant imagine how it will brighten her dear face. Besides, you owe, her a kiss or two. A long while ago. when you were a little girl. she kissed you. You were not as at- tractiye then as you are now. Through years of childish sunshine and shadows she was always ready to cure. by the magic of a mothers kiss. the little dirty chubby hands whenever they were injured with those first skirmishes with the rough old world " From the Kan. sas City Journal.

THRIFT AND ECONOMY.
Right Thinking Necessary to Great.
est Success In Every Field OF
Endeavor.

Economy is one of the essentials to
success. It matters not how great
ones earnings may be. II there is no
pennies laid by, there will be no
counting Of dollars to your credit.
From childhood children should be
taught lessons of thrift, and the value
of saving. There Is a difference be.
tween economy and stinginess. There
Is an excess which defeats the aim,
That economy which prevents the
farmer from spending money to prop
erly house his stock during the win
ter is paradoxical II Is a saving OF
dollars and the loss Of dollars by the
saving That so.called economy
which prevents the consuming OF fuel
In winter, which results in a cold
house and sickness in the family and
perhaps a death. is niggardly stingi-
ness. which is criminal. 1t is the saw.
ing of few dollars in the coal bill,
and paying perhaps hundred or more
to the doctor or the undertaken. There
II no economy in cheap things gen.
orally. A bit OF machinery that is
needed about the farm should be the
best. A cheap poor moving machine
from some mail order house may
break down when It is needed the
most, and result is the loss of tons
of hay several times the value of a
good machine. Poor articles wear out
rapidly, and are likely to give out
NJ
q continual source of expense. A poor
breed of stock is another illustration.
| Poor, bony horses eat more than well
bred ones, and the latter always find a
ready sale, while the raw.bones cannot
| be disposed of at any price. The same
with hogs. sheep, and all classes of
domestic stock. A poor lot of ami.
mails should be gotten rid of as soon
as possible. They are expensive and
1t is poor economy to keep them
1t is In looking after the saving Of
a penny and being blind to the dollar
that could be gained that is the trou-
Bile with many. Savages have no
idea of economy. They cannot fore.
go a small pleasure for a greater one
a little farther off. It is the ability
to think out these matters that makes
the civilized man superior to the bar
barian. Think, Don't get tired OF
using the reasoning brain that a good
Providence has given you. The
secret of knowledge is in thinking, and
the power to make comparison. One
of the drawbacks of many schools is
the teaching, the crammlng OF rules
and facts without combining with
them the importance of cause and ef
feet. Teach one to think, and he vii
soon be a person Of no mean knowl
edge. It is the thinker who wins II
life, and on the farm, in the workshop
in the store, anywhere and every
where, where brains are needed, yol
will find it is the active, keen ant
careful thinker who forgeS TO thu

RETIRING FROM THE FARM.
Attractions of the Town for Those
Who Grow Weary Of Life In the
Country.

The majority of farmers after years
Of toll and the accumulation of com.
potency consider the time that they
can retire from the drudgery Of the
field and barnyard and live contented-
ly in town. Sooner or later many
of them have their desires gratified
One of the principal reasons why the
average farmer wishes to live away
from the farm is the advan-
tages that the town offers their
children in an educational way. Other
reasons may be the avoidance OF the
monotony Of milking cows, feeding
hogs, bothering with hired help, and
quite often physical breakdown on
account of too assiduous attention to
work.
Whatever causes may lead to the
REIMBURSEMENT of farm life for a res
idence in the town, the truth is that
more than 80 per cent. of the success.
full tillers of the soil seek a resting
place away from the farm. The towns
afford greater comforts, life OF diff,
ferent environment that increases
longevity and sweetens life In later
years 1t may be that the rural tele
phone, the rural free delivery, and late
innovations for home comforts on the
form may change the views of many
as to residence in town being desir
able, and curtail the movement from
the farm to the town. The charge Ia
often made that farmers who retire
and become residents Of towns send
away money to the Ing city for goods
that they might as wei, have pur
chased at home, and thus keeps the
town from advancing. This is not al
ways true. Those retired farmers gen
orally become as much interested il
the trade and welfare of the town as
those engaged in business in It, Ir
fact, every farmer should feel thai
the local town is important to him
and that 1t is to his interests to hell
advance It in importance.

SAYS SNAKES ARE MALleNEo.
One Writer Asserts That They Are
Neither Vicious Nor Shiny.

OF the snakes lnhablting the United
States by far the greater number Of
species are quite harmless, says Coun.
try Life in America. II we may in.
clude the several species of rattle
snakes under one head It might be
concisely explained that but three
kinds of distinctly dangerous serpents
are found in this country-the rattle.
snake, the coppernead snake and the
moccasin, Two species OF the genus
elaps (cOral snalles) are 10 be found
in the extreme southern attitudes, but
they have such diminutive Iangs that
1t is almost impossible to be Injured
by them unless treadlng upon one
with bare feet or actually handling
one. The coral snakes are burrowers
and do not strike" as do the three
kinds we have mentioned as distinct.
ly dangerous. All of the three latter
are common in many parts Of the
country.
The greater number of our common
snakes are not only harmless. grace,
ful and interesting, but of distinct val.
ue to the farmer, though the mention
of the word snake brings a shudder to
most people, practically universal is
the unjust belief that the snake Is a
slimy, vicious creature provided with
formidable sting" and awaiting its
| time to poison everything living that
comes within its reach. The popular
idea is to the effect that all snakes are
more or less yenomOus, and as to
| their usefulness--that Is new
| thought to the majority of people,
even in the country.
A snake is not vicious creature. 1t
! fights only when cornered and never
actually attacks mankind. Moreover,
| the venomous kinds, which are very
| few in species and in the representa-.
| tion OF their species, as compared with
the innoCuOus snakes, are not provided
with their fangs for the purpose of
dealing an envenomed stroke, prompt
ed simply by a spirit Of mallciousness.
! Nature has given these slow.crawling
reptiles their fangs to aid them in Sc.
curing their prey
There is no species of snake that is
Shiny. The smooth scaled snakes usual
ly gleam with a metallic luster. while
those possessing keeled scales gener.
ally present a yelyety appearance. In
its general makeup the snake is one
Of the most Cleauly of the lower
creatures.
The idea that the venomous snake
may be distinguished at a glance from
the harmless one by the large, triang,
ular head of the former, Is another
mistake, This rule does not hold good
with the snakes of this country. Il
is tue that the majority of our poi
sonous serpents have thick bodies and
heart shaped heads, but It is also true
that large number of the non-yenon
Gus snakes have these characteristics

INTERESTS ARE EQUAL.
Farmers Should Cooperate with Towns.
people in Work Of Municipal
Improvement.

Among the many plans devised to
further the interests of small towns
and cities, and which has proved most
successful, is the commercial clubs In
which all business men of the commlI.
nifty cooperate for the common good.
Organizations Of this class are al.
most a necessity In any town where
harmony is desired among the differ.
ent business classes in the carrying
out of plans for town improvement,
securing the enterprises of various
kinds and the general good Of all in
the community. There is no reason
why these clubs in their membership
should be confined to the residents of
the town. The farmers in the neigh.
borhood are as deeply interested In
the success Of town enterprises as
are the business men OF the place, or
at least they should be. For what
will help along the town towards pros.
perity will also help the farmer.
In many localities there ia a sentl.
ment that the interests of the farm.
er and the business men are not par.
allel. II is necessary that this feel.
ing be obliterated as far as possible
because there is no logical foundation
for 1t. The better the town is the bet.
ter the local market for the farmers
produce; the more equitable will be
taxation and the better educational ia.
cilities. All these are matters that
concern the farmer in the immediate
neighborhood OF the town. Many
business men feel that a membership
In clubs organized for promotion Of
two industries should be confined to
business men; that perhaps the farm.
er would not be in accord with resi-
dents Of the town in matters of public
improvements. This is an error, a
lack of confidence In the good judg.
ment of the average farmer, who will
generally realize how important the
home town Is to him, and all his neigh.
bors. Then the farmer sometimes
thinks that he is not welcome In an as
sociation of business men, perhaps be-
cause he has never been invited to
take part in meetings held to discuss
matters pertaining to town affairs.
There is no good reason why these
sentiments should exist. 1t is only
by harmonious pulling together of
the residents of the rural districts and
the business men that the greatest
good can be brought about for the
home town.

COATS HAVE QUAINT EFFECTS.
Special Features Show Them on to
Great Advantage.

Nothing could be quainter than
some OF the coats contrived with cloth
for some Of the smart tailored frocks.
Although the empire vest is dainty

empire effect Is gradually giving way
to other models, particularly the semi
cutaway designs, with fronts smartly
rounded away and finished with sew
eral rows of stitching or a binding OF
elegant silk braid
Redfern shows tailored gown In
very duh mauve cloth, the skirt hav-
ing two broad box pleats on either
side of the front, the pleats beginning
Just above the knees. Across the top
of these are stretched two straight
bands of the cloth. finished at either
edge with large buttons covered with
mauve moire circled in dull gold rims.
The coat is piped with modern brown
MORE, a rather queer sounding com.
bination, but an effect beautiful to
/ look at. The pipings outline stitch
ings of the cloth, which follow the
curved lines of the coat, and the EN-.
pire vest Is made entirely of the
brown MORE, with handsome metal
buttons stitched down either side.
The shoulders are long in effect, and
one might describe the sleeves as a
series of cuffs, for they are stitched
with bands Of cloth. secured only at
the lower edge, each standing out be-
| yond the outside seam, cuff.like. with
a large button setting off each band
At the wrists there is wider piping
OF brown than appears anywhere else
on the coat, and the sleeves have sufh
