that matter, you who go to any college or school-must have some time for light reading; and there Is some light read ing quite as useful as heavy reading provided of course that you do not read Ina spirit of mere vaculty Aside from the great classics and thinking only of the many healthy and stimulating books of the day, 1t is easy to pick out many which can really serve as tracts, be- cause they possess what many ayowed tracts and treatiese do not, the prime quality of being interesting.
 Mrs. Wlggs of Cabbage Patch.
 You will learn the root principles of self help and helpfulness toward others from Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." just as much as from any formal treatise on charity; you will learn as much sound social and industrial doc Urine from Octave Thanet's stories of farmers and wage-workers as from avow- ed sociological and eoonomlc studies; and I cordially recommend the first chapter of Aunt Jane of Kentucky" Tor use as tract in all families where the men folks tend to selfish or thought less or overbearing disregard of the rights Of their womenkind.
 DO not misunderstood me. I have not the slightest sympathy with those hys- terlcal and foolish creatures who wish women to attain to easy lives by shirlx- Ing their duties. I have as hearty a con- tempt for the woman who shirks her duty of bearing and rearing the children, or doing her full housewifes work. as l have for the man who is an idler who shlrks his duty of earning a living for himself and for his household, or who IS selfish or brutal toward his wife and children l believe in the happiness that comes from the performance of duty, not from the avoidance of duty But I believe also in trying each of us as strength Is given us. to bear one an- others burdens; and this especially in our own homes No outside training. no cooperation, no government aid or drec- ton can take the place of a strong and upright character: of goodness of heart combined with clearness of head, and that strength and toughness of fiber nec- essary to wiring success from a rough work-a- day world. Nothing outside of home can take the place of home The school Is an invaluable adjunct to the home, but 1t is a wretched substitute for 1t. The family relation Is the most fundamental the most important of all relations No leader in church or state. in science or art or industry, however great his achievement, does work which compares in importance with that of the father and mother, who are the first of sovereigns and the most divine of priests"

Drift Toward Cities.

The drift toward the city is largely de- termined by the superior social opportun- ities to be enjoyed there, by the greater sidered from the point of view of national efficiency, the problem of the farm is as much a problem of attractiveness as 1t is problem of prosperity. It has ceased to be merely a problem of growing wheat and corn and cattle. The problem of pro- duction has not ceased to be fundamen- tai, but 1t is no longer final; just as learning to read and xrite and cipher are fundamental, but are no longer the final ends of education. We hope ultimately to double the average yield of wheat and corn per acre; 1t will be a great achieve ment: but 1t is even more important to double the deslrability, comfort and standing of the farmers life.
 We must consider, then, not merely how to produce but also how production ef- fleets the producer. In the past we have given but scant attention to the social side of farm life. We should study much more closely than has yet been done the social organization of the country, and inquire whether It's institutions are now really as useful to the farmer as they should be, or whether they should not be given a new direction and a new impulse. for no farmers life should lie merely within the boundary of his farm. This study must be of the east and the west, the north and the south, for the needs vary from place to place.

From the Success Magazine.
 When the train that conveyed President Roosevelt through Virginia on his last trip scuth stopped at Charlottesville, a negro approached the Presidents car and passed aboard big basketful of fine fruit, to which was attached the card of prominent grower.
 In course of time the orchardlst re- ceived a letter of acknowledgement from the White House expressing the Presi- dents appreciation of the gift, and com pimenting the donor upon his fruit. The recipient of the letter was, of course, greatly pleased. and, feeling sure that his head gardener would be much in- terested in the letter, he read it to him. The darky who served in the capacity mentioned, listened gravely, but his only comment was:
 "He doan' say nuthin' bout sendin' back de basket, do he?"

Battle the feet in hot water-take
hot drinks of lemonade or composition

important treatment In doctoring .
cold or sore throat Is good applica-
ton on the lungs to avoid any chance
of pneumonia. People used to apply
conn horated oil, goose grease, etc., but
the finest thing for this purpose Is
Hoff's German Liniment. This is q
camrhor cream, strong and penetrat-

soil clothing or bedding. It Is q
simple household remedy, Is sold
everywhere for twenty-five cents. Be

LARGE ESTATE INVOLVED.
Cashier Croker Made Away With
Bio Funds

Charlton Bostwick and
Bank Examiner Shaw, who have been
busy on the banks books since the
latter part of last week, decline to
give out any statement regarding the
banks condition. The belief is gain
ing ground among the business men
and citizens generally that the funds
of the bank will be found to have
been touched but lightly If at all.
The reserve fund of the bank has
been found in perfect condition.
The $350,000 belonging to the Wood
men of the World and reported to
have been a deposit in the bank has
been found to have been instead
personal loan to Croker, who was
an ex-treasurer of the order. 1t Is
feared that this has gone the way
of Crockers personal estate, worth 1t
was supposed, some 100000. The
Mallory estate is reported to be
largely involved in the Woodman loan
as security. -..
There is considerable doubt as to
whether the bank will ever reopen,
even though it is found to be in per-
feet condition. In case it does re-
open it will be only after thorough
