The HOME CIRCLE COLUMN
Two Paths In Life.

Just in front Of every young man and
young woman who reads this depart
ment are two paths leading into the
future, and it is for them to select
which path they will journey IN. To
aid them in selecting are their neigh
bors, some Of whom in early life Sc
lected one path and Others the opposite
The neighbor who made the wise choice
can be seen returning TO his home foI
the evening meal, his face radiant with
joy as the children meet him at the
gate, each one endeavoring to get the
first kiss. The other neighbor goes
home through the alley, his step is
unsteady, his face flushed from dissi-
patton, the children flee TO the mother
as he approaches. These two neigh
bors had an equal start upon life's voy-
age, the difference now so plainly visi-
BILE il caused by the paths they selected
to travel in at the beginning Of the
journey. A few years Of training in
our schools upon the one hand, OF on
the streets upon the other hand, will
make all the difference you see in the
neighbors. a youth Of study and
training in a few years moulds Inca
ments Of the face into the resemblance
Of the first picture Of manhood, while
by law equally inc, liable, idleness
and dissipation bring out all the low
ersnimal faculties, which reveal them
selves In the depressed forehead, the
hard eyebrow, the course mouth so
plainly developed i'm the man who
chose the wrong path. The boy who
selects the wrong path soon becomes a
rowdy and blackleg and if he escapes
tine prison and thegallows and reaches
the midday Of life we find him a
drunken loafer, sneaking around the
grogshop in hope Of securing a treat
from some one who knew him in his
flush days, while he who has chosen
the other path, as he passes the "mid-
journey Of lifen and slowly descends
the slope towards age, grows daily
richer in the love and esteem Of those
around him; and in the bosom Of the
family that gathers about his hearth,
lives over again his happy youth and
earnest manhood. What a different
picture is presented in the fate Of him
who has chosen the returnless down.
ward path. The shadows deepen as
he decends the hill Of life. He has
been successfully useless, jest and a
burden to society and when he dies
there is not a soul to wish his life had
been prolonged. Two lives like these
lie in possibility EMBODIED within every
infant born into the world. Let every
young person who reads this depart
ment study well the pen painting Of
these two lives and select the right
path upon which to start upon life's
Journey.

selling for S34.15.
The second acre Melted 1895 IN 1904

The third acre netted S2S.42 in 1904,

acre never produced any wrappers.
1905 was the god season. 1t will be
remembered what sort Of season 1906
was.
In preparation for the 1905 the three
acres were seeded down in rye. The

In 1905 the net profits were increased
by the sale Of \ ton Of rye hay from

This experiment Is proof Of what may
be expected from an acre Of dark to-
