I've made a few lucky hits, it's true. but just as likely as not I shall be at the bottom of the percentage column in batting before the season ends" Smilingly accept ing the bouquet of cut flowers sent to him by an admirer in the grandstand, he stepped up to the plate, struck out. dodged a lemon thrown at him by a disgusted bleacherite, and went and took his seat on the bench.

On July 3l he absented himself, and on August the bank issued 9 bags Of half seyereigus 10 Messrs. Williams. Deacon's bank. and l4 of them. which had been made up by the prisoner. were found to have been tampered with. half sover- eigns having been replaced by the nee. assary number of halfpennies to make Up the correct weight. Two other bags in the banks treasury were also found to have been tempered with in the same way and the total sum missing was et.0SI.

THE DAY OF THE FARMER.
Occupation Properly Recognized as
 One of the Professions.

The farmer who Is not an amateur is q really increasing factor in ;o- days life. ln fact farming is rapidly becoming one of the professions We have our agricultural schools, just as we have our law schools.
 Ii is getting fn be business as well. Farmers have their trusts, like other manufacturers.
 l. is a far cry from the New Eng land farmer. trying 10 arrange an ex- ploded granite quarry into a stone wall that he may have room in which to plant his crop. and that master of capital, science. and black earth ten feet deep who blows with a traction engine and reaps with a ten horse team. And between these two types of farmers the drift is steadily toward the latter.
 The comic paper does not laugh at the granger" as frequently as it used to laugh. It wants his subscription.
 The capitalist does not foreelose mortgages on the prairie farm now. He berrows money Of its owner.
 And. what is vastly more impnr- tant. the entire country looks with a respect bordering upon apprehension on this new type of American who has decided views on railroads, trusts and. in fact, on every subject, from the green bug to the lecturer at his Chaufauqua. This rise of the farmer into national significance is welcome in view of the inundation of great cities by immigrants who have sig nifieanee only en masse.
 The farm is the nursery of indiyid- ualism. If you are cliff dweller in the city send your boy there this sum mer and let him see what 1t means to create wealth with the help of nature rather than with the ticker. You will help make him better American The World To-day Magazine.
