WISE WORDS.

Money makes the mare go, not a
pedigree.
Too many people expect medal
for doing their duty
There are times when even kbig
man acts mighty small.
A woman is never so full of gossip
that she won't hold more.
Some men even take their pleasure
as though they meant business.
Many a man displays lot of in
genuity in making fool of himself.
Even when fellow goes broke he
might save a few chunks of hope.
1t is hard to convince self-made
man that he has cheated himself.
Some people are as easily pleased
as an old maid looking for husband
The average girl has good many
false alarms before she meets her
fate.
It's an easy matter to see the sill
yer lining in other peoples clouds.
Many a man has stubbed his toe in
frantic effort to put his best foot
forward.
An ugly frame of mind doesn't set
off a girl when she tries to be as
pretty as a picture.
A womans hidden intentions are
generally so well hidden that she can
seldom remember herself where they
are.
The swindler isn't exactly a philan-
thropist, but he is always looking for
the good things he can do.

SIN GIRLS.

The boys of this country must not
get the idea that they are the only
smart things in it. There is a girl in
Mississippi who lost both hands three
years ago, but has learned to do good
typewriting with her toes. There is
a girl in Ohio with a wooden foot
who plays football and runs races
and beats all the boys.
In Wisconsin a girl of twelve years
of age swan horse across river
and saved passenger train from
disaster. Michigan. has girl of
fourteen who can do any sum in
mathematics you give her and not
be over ten seconds about it. Penn
sylvania has one of eleven years who
can learn and repeat any chapter in
the Bible in twenty minutes.
Delaware has miss, now sixteen
years old, who went into the grocery
business when she was only ten, and
at the present date she is making
$4,000 year, and Connecticut has
one of fifteen who has traded horses
and got the best of it over forty
times.
The American boy is pretty cute,
but the American girl isn't going to
be left very far behind in the race

FACTS ABOUT THRIFT
AND IRRIGATION.
What the Two Are Accomplish
ing on One Acre of irrigated
Land in GARRISON, Wash.

William Howard Kirkbride tells In
The Century what one man, an en-
gineer, broken down by long, confin-
ing work, is accomplishing in Clark
son, Wash, on one acre of land. JOS
eph Lipe bought one-acre ranch
with small house and few fruit
trees on it,
"The first few months he passed in
experimenting, drawing upon his pen
sion for living expenses. He read
all that he could find upon the sub
ject, talked with men who had made
study of irrigation farming and
went among those of his neighbors
who were successful, working in the
fields with them. He saw that the
climate, soil and natural conditions
were favorable for agriculture in all
its diversified forms; he saw the re-
suits obtained through the practical
operation of scientific methods, and
that intelligent effort and careful SUI
pervision were what counted. not the
amount of land one possessed. SO he
went to work upon his one acre. He
pruned the trees and set out thirty
others of different Varieties; he
plowed out the old vegetables and
vines and planted new ones; he sold
the half dozen sick chickens and re-
placed them by thoroughbred black
Spanish rooster and three hens, and
built them chicken yard, sowing it
to wheat
From the main lateral, running
past his house, he extended a small
fiume across the west end of the tract.
In this fiume he placed a series OF
stops and plugs. Now, by removing
one of the plugs, small rivulet of
water was made to flow between a
certain row of trees. When the thirsty
roots had been refreshed he replaced
the plug, turned the stop and the
next row received watering. A few
moments with the hoe and the rivulet
was made to wind in and out among
plants and vegetables to any part of
the tiny ranch. A turn of the hand
and the rain was over.
He soon learned in just what
quantities each tree and vegetable
required the life-giving moisture,
with the result that his crops have
never famished for want of water or
drowned from excess of it.
At the end of the first year his
pension went into the bank. The sale
of fruits, vegetables and chickens had
not only paid all living expenses, but
had left surplus as we'll This was
returned to the land for improve
ments. The house was painted, new
chicken houses were built and the
old fence was replaced by neat wire
one.
People, hearing Of the great sue
cess, came to see for themselves if so
much could be grown on one acre,
thus augmenting the owners pride
and interest in their venture. While
the husband experimental with every
variety of fruit and vegetable, and
found which were the best growers
and sellers, the wife experimental
with her preserves until they became
as famous as her husbands crops.
Winter and summer, spring and au.
tumn, they were raising something,
until -four and beef were virtually all
that they had to buy. Each year
there were more improvements, bet
ter crops and larger yields, and each
year more money went into the bank
with the pension.
