LITTLE 4Np RIG WTLLLAM.

"It snows, it snows,' exclaimed lit- tie William, as he came running in from school one day. Now what fine times we shall have.'" So said little William in one of the old school read CTS, and very likely he said about the same thing yesterday, as he came run ming in from Sunday school. But big William didn't say or think anything like that. If he didn't swear outright he grunted as he thought of the long winter, the short coal, business, and a few other things that the big Williams have to think of Then, if he did right, he braced up and bethought himself that there would in time be a last snow, even for this winter, and that perhaps this was it; that it was near the middle of March, and that April 1, May 1, etc., etc, would surely come to those who could wait through the snoWs and the blows; that robins have al- ready appeared here, and that many more are on the way; that soon the bluebirds and the other birds will ar rive and sing of Spring. Filled with these thoughts, as Lecturer Stoddard used to say, big William felt better and allowed in his own mind that little Will Hams pleasure in the snow was justifi- able, even if he (big William didn't feel quite that way.

THE HAPPY, HAPPY FARMER.

The happy, happy farmer doesn't ap- preciate himself and his lot enough, but there are those who know the val ue of them. In Golfers Weekly it is pointed out that one million seven hundred and fifty thousand one hun dred and seyenty-eight children from 10 to 15 years of age are employed in farm, factory and personal service in the United States. Of this army, 1,054,- 446 live the natural and healthy, if fru- gal and industrious, life of the farm, Most of these belong to the families of the farmers. Even if they do not their lot is comparatively enviable. It is not necessary to observe the children of Rat Row." in Cincinnati; the 'Levee District" in Chicago, or the Lung Block" in New York, to note the con- trast. Walk through the streets in which the better class of factory operatives live and ask yourself if the worst bit of Alabama red clay, or Colorado Des- ert, or bleak New England hillside is not a better soil on whicj1 to rear the citizens of the next generation. The farmers sons and daughters are the only children without wealth who may look forward confidently to lives of in- dependence. The little red schoolhouse gives them the rudiments, and if they have the right material in them the road to intellectual attainment is open, with less obstacles than Abraham Lin coin met. In these days of rural deliv- cry, farm telephones and traction en- zines the isolation and drudgery of the farm are but a tradition.
 True as preaching, and pretty good preaching. If there were more who could be guided by such preaching it would be better for them, the cUdntry and the world.

THE ANG1 1O-JAPANESE ALLIANCE


 There is nothing mysterious about the alliance between England and Japan. At @ banquet in ToBdo the other even- ing visoount Hagashi, the Japanese minister of foreign affairs, in his speech, said that only understandings based on a community of interests were real, lasting and beneficial. The object of the alliance was to defend similar rights to D rotect similar interests, and it would increase in strength with q growing sense of the friendship and. mutual respect of the two nations It's purpose was manifest. It was not kept secret, because it was sure of a cordial welcome from all the Powers inasmuch as it was of undoubted efficacy in main- taining the peace of the world.
