NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.

friends little story on Hibernian
friend. The kid and his friend hai
attended boxing bout and when leav
ing the building the Irishman dis
covered that his watch was gone. The
sergeant of police promised to leave
no stone unturned" in the effort to re
cover the timepiece. Next day, in
walking down street with his friend
Gleason pointed to some men who
were engaged in some excavating
work. By chance, the sergeant to
whom Gleason and the Irishman had
reported the loss was watching the
men work.
Great operation, isn't it," the ball
player asked.
"Yis, it is, indade. Phat's it all
fer?" asked Pat.
"Why, don't you remember that the
police sergeant said he would leave nc
stone unturned to get back your
watch? See, there he is now direct
ing the work.
The kids friend from the old sod
was amazed, and, walking up to the
sergeant said: Il thank yez very
much, sirgeant, but if yez is going tc
tear up the whole town, let the watch
go to the devil. It's not worth the
trouble"

JOHN SMITHS BUSY DAY.
Certainly AccompIishes Much in the

THE person in this town that

the gray-headed New York man, lis
John Smith. l admire him because
he accomplishes so much No other
man that l know of performs one
half the stunts that are credited to
Smith. A study of yesterdays news
reports reveals how prodigious are his
labors. According to the papers he
began the day-say about three a. m.
by shooting burglar. At six
o'clock he scalded himself with a
pot OF hot coffee, and at ten o'clock
he fell into coal hole in Tenth ave
nue.. But not even hese disturb
ances impaired Smiths vigor, for
after repairing damages be found time
to figure as a principal in two we'd
dings and one divorce. Also he ap-
peared in a police court on a charge
of arson, was witness at two trials,
attempted to cut his throat with a
razor, drove runaway team hitched
TO a pickle wagon, and as a wind-up
TO his activities was run in on a
charge of disorderly conduct. All
OF which, it strikes me, constitutes
pretty strenuous day even for q

ADVICE TO FARMERS
They Would Do Well to Learn To
Think and Act For Them
selves

Farmers are too apt to think that
there are only few specially ordain-
ed people who are able to do things.
This is not true. Farmers can do
many things for themselves if they
will but try. They must learn to
think and act for themselves, how
ever. They must be able to recognize
a business proposition when they see
it, and they must be willing to risk
something. The man from Missouri
may be all right in his way, but he
never builds railroads, nor constructs
irrigation projects, nor tunnels
mountains. A man must have some
imagination to do these things. He
must be able to see things that are
shut out from the sight of the "man
from Missouri"
Farmers must also learn to trust
each other and tO~~even trust other
people who seem to be all right.
Business men trust each other, al
though they are no more honest than
farmers. 1t is always we'll to watch
your agent or employe, but in order to
do business OF any kind we must
trust somebody. Farmers trust the
business men they deal with, but do
not even trust their own neighbors to
do the same thing
There is often spirit of jealousy
among neighbors on the farm that
keeps them from cooperating and
helping each other. This is entirely
wrong. 1t is that spirit which has
kept farmers from doing the things
they might do. Farmers will often
vote for lawyers to misrepresent them
rather than for farmers who would
represent them. Farmers are just as
wise as other men. They are no easier
fooled, and if they had confidence in
themselves they could accomplish just
as much in business way as other
men.-Chas. w. Browne in Up-to-
Date Farming.
