Rights of tho Hired Man.

A little thought and little put
yourself In his place would do won
ders In solving the problem of "How to
keep the hired man on the farm" OF
course there are many worthless fell
lows strolling about the country looking
for jobs as farm hands, and any en-
ployer Is liable to get one OF them.
On the other hand, there are many
employers who treat their men in such
2 manner that no self-respecting young
man would remain In their service.
AS rule the hand who goes Mt his
work cheerfully and does not complain
IL little extra job comes his way, is
the man who can always find a place
at the best wages going, while the one
wAo grumbles at his regular work and
fatty refuses to do an extra task Is al
ways moving from place to place. The
employer who is considerate to his
men. who does not impose upon them
by word or deed, is the one who can al
ways get good men, and he seldom has
20 hunt them up. The hired man is
entitled to a good bed and comfortable
room, with place for his clothing. He
Is entitled to good, wholesome food.
and, above all, ne Is entitled to decent
treatment and kind words.

New Instrument Sends and Receives
without Making Mistakes.
The latest device in telegraph Is a
telegraphing typewriter. 1t can be at
tached to and placed under any ordin-
airy typewriter, says the Electrical
World. When so connected it becomes
a complete sending and receiving tele-
graph instrument, and both sending
and receiving instruments record the
message.

ner in which you would proceed TO
write letter on an ordinary type
writer. This same message will be re-
ceived on the receiving typewriter ex-
actly as 1t appears on the sending one.
In some respects It resembles the
familiar stock ticker and other print
ing telegraph instruments, but unlike
these it makes possible the use of capt.
tai and small letters as IN ordinary
letter writing. The receiving machine
records the message just as written
and gives what corresponds to a carbon
copy made on the original machine.
There is said to be no chance for
mistakes The machine takes down the
message just as sent. There is no hui
man receiver to make mistake by
faulty earingorcarelessness or neglect,
as is the case with the present Morse
system of dots and dashes in use all
over the world.

LYDIA E. PINKHHM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia Il.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, OR has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, anywomananyd aymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is SO
successful is because ii contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to a healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these

chine might the machine was pref
ty nearly worn out. The officer in COM
mand tried to rouse them in vain. He
shouted to them of glory but the fever
cursed men had no yearning to be glo-
rious Just then. He dashed along the
line and tried TO inspire them with the
idea that the protection of the hOples
of the South from all sorts of dire dis
aster and disgrace rested upon their
shoulders alone. The men, shaken
with ague, fixed their thoughts not
upon homes. but upon the empty drug
stores of their beloved land-and felt
that home would be mockery with
empty quinine bottles
One officer shouted q brief speech to
the reserves to the effect that this was
to be the turning point of the war, and
that the success or failure of the Con
federacy rested upon them and them
alone Inc men sat or lay sullenly be-
fore him. and no CLEAN of enthusiasm
stirred them Only the steady, awful
shake of break-bone fever occupied
their minds. The Confederacy was
dream. This was reality. The Yam
KEGS were far off. Each man clutched
to his own breast the terrible enemy.
The officers were In despair. No one
could win a battle with men so in
different and so sullen as these.
At last a happy thought struck the
mo Tor IIa raSbaI aIopo tho limo with
fresh news from the front He told the
company officers that which put new
life into them. The word was swiftly
passed along the line from man to man
as they lay in the reserve line.
The effect was magical. Every man
prepared with that vim and energy
which means success to obey the next
command. A battery had for long
time held for the Northern troops the
vantage ground. Behind that ugly bat
terry were the supply wagons of the
Federal army. The major had sent out
word that those wagons had just ar
rived, laden with quinine. That was
enough.
When the command was given to
charge not a man failed him, not a
man was too I'll to reach-over breast
works and cannon-the one thing that
IL wanted. So when the major dashed
out In front with uplifted sword and
shouted: Charge. Charge, boys
Give the Yankees fits, and charge for
quinine :" his ranks were full, and not
man stopped of his own free will I'M
ill he was in the enemy's rear.
A good many there were who stopped
short of this, it is true; poor fellows
who needed quinine no longer, and only
left the more for the comrades who
captured the battery and CALAMITY
saved the day. So says history and
history is right as to facts. But as to
the motive for this gallant and desper-
ate charge history is silent, and glory,
not quinine, is enormously supposed TO
have been the-inspiring stimulus with
which the major in some mysterious
way infused his men at the last mo-
| ment.

Value of Trap Nests.

To become convinced Of the amount
OF good there Is In trap nests, one
must use them. He will then find out
for a certainty which of his hens are
laying well and which are not. Per-
haps he will be surprised to learn that
some Of the best egg producers he has
are apparently his poorest specimens.
This is quite likely to happen. for not
by any means is 1t always the finest
looking hens-the hens which would
score highest in the show pen-that
will lay the most eggs. Needless to say,
the best layers only should be kept. If
flock is disgraced by egg-eaters, the
trap nest will pick the guilty ones out,
likewise the drone, so that the flock
may be culled until only profitable
stock is left. AS but one hen can be
present at a time to lay, it also does
away with crowding and quarreling'
whereby the danger of breaking the
eggs in the nest Is lessened. 1t indi-
Gates, too, which hens are the winter
layers, the layers of the most fertile
eggs, the most symmetrical ones and
the brown, the white aud the speckled
ones. At the same time 1t necessi-
tates frequent handling by taking the
hens off the nest, so that even the
widest birds become more tame, and
are less likely to scare. Summed up
briefly, it enables the breeder to get
in touch with the individual hen, ascer-
tain her good and bad qualities, and
satisfy himself Of her general condi-
ton. The only objection that can be
raised against II, any way, is that II
requires a lot of attention. The nests
want visiting every other hour, at
least, and every hour would be better
through the day. For the shiftless
poultryman, therefore, they are hardly
TO be recommended.-Agrl Epit

THE ROAD TO WEALTH
Il II the First Thousand That Counts

and Is Hardext to Get.
The thing that counts" said a man
OF independently large means accumu-
lated by hard work, saving and wise
investments, lis the first thousand 1ol-
lars. When you've got that amount
together you are beginning to get some
where, and with that start you viii
want to keep on. The red ink interest
ertries that you see put down in your
savings bank book twice a year will
strike you very pleasantly indeed. As
interest on your thousand dollars you'll
get $50 or $40 in a year; your money
has begun earning money for you.
you've got an income now and you'll
want to add to it. You will leave that
interest In the bank to be added to
your principal, and now your interest
will begin to draw interest, and to be
sure you will keep right on adding TO
your principal, too, and every six
months you'll see those red figures
growing bigger and bigger, pretty fig
ures to contemplate, and you'll keep
right along saving. But the thing that
really counts is the first thousand dol
lars. Get that and you're all right.
And you'll always be glad you save
il.
''For there really is nothing like fill
ancial independence, or like having ut
least some money laid by. Then. If You
want money, you've got 1t. You don't
have to go to friends to borrow and
take the risk of being refused, the fisk
Of being compelled to go without what
you need. If you've got money in the
bank you can 60 there and get it. There
might come a time when you would
need money for your family or for
yourself very much; it's a grand ching
to have it where you can get it.
There's nothing mean about being
saving and accommodating money; on
the contrary, it is every mans duty
to make himself financially indepcnd
ent. / don't mean at all that man
wants to set out to accumulate great
wealth there's no fun in that. Dui
what he does want to do is to get TO
gether enough to live on modestly."-

CHASTITY hand withholds not only food
but medical skill and medical supplies
as well. This was the condition of af-
fairs in the divisions of the Southern
army to which the major belonged.
The men were not unusually hungry.
They had become quite accustomed to
short ratlons. There was not an I'M
due proportion of wounded sufferers !;
but break bone fever had settled like
pail over the entire camp; and the
peculiar form of desperation engender-
ed by this fact was what might be
called a quinine mania. There was
nothing the men would not do to get
quinine. Some of them had been
known to steal the carefully boarded
ounce, held more precious than dia-
mOnds by some isolated country fami-
ly. Others had obtained 1t by dire
threats from even those whom they
were protecting, and men who were
known as perfectly respectable had re-
sorted to devices for obtaining the COW
eted drug that would bring a flood of
crimson to their cheeks were IL record

Just at that time they were in Ar
kansas and the fever, malignant at all
times, was holding high carnival. Men
who were accustomed to the climate
were doggedly desperate and those to
whom it was comparatively new ex-
perience were in despair. Everybody
was sick and almost everybody was
sullen. In short, ii was a particularly
inOpportune moment to ask for brave
deeds or expect to find heroes.
There was pretty brisk skirmish
going on which merged itself into a
battle later in the day. The Confeder-
ates were lodging and firing-Or lying
on their arms-according to the orders
given-in a logged and half-dead con-
dillon. They obeyed orders as a ma
