BOYS BREAK INFO JAIL
TO OBTAIN LIQUOR

II Is not uncommon to hear Of men
breaking out Of jail. but 1t IL rather
unusual for outsiders to force their
way into one. Nevertheless this was
done here by Arthur Voorhees, and
Clinton Bader and their object was to
gain possession OF some liquor taken
by the sheriff IN a raid and stored In
the jail. 1t seems they made q deal
with the prisoners whereby those on
the inside were to help them to break
in. Then, the w boys promised, they
would return and furnish them with
files and saws with which to cut their
way out. This they failed to do and
the prisoners told on them and they
We're arrested and placed In the very

How to Help Our Friends.

We often attempt to regulate the
lives of our friends through imposing
our own wills upon them. This we do
under the impression that our con-
ception of truth is superior to theirs,
and that we see more clearly than
they do. This is really but a form Of
selfishness, and binds all who indulge
in it, both the strong and the weak.
OF course there is point where a
kind and friendly desire to help an
other may be productive Of good, But
when the desire to help another in
wolves the subjugation of his spirit
and understanding, then that desire
becomes a selfish one. For you can
not force knowledge of truth upon
anyone. Only love and patience and
living the truth yourself can bring it
to the consciousness of your friends.-

FARMER AND
PLANTER
The Boy and Life on Farm.


The following very sensible article
is from the New England Farmer. and
we commend it to every father on the
farm:
If you are farmer and you want
your son to be farmer after you,
teach him from his earliest boyhood
t, respect his fathers calling, lnstil
into his mind the fact that the great
men of all ages were sons of farmers.
Teach him never to feel ashamed at
the senseless and threadhare jokes Of
would-be humorists over old Haysecd
and his numbering old market wagon
and his quaintness of speech when he
visits the city and stares around at the
sights, and does not make half so much
Of a fool Of himself As the average city
man when he comes to the country
do not FIJI his life entirely with
work. Recreation is as necessary to
happiness and to Z healthful develop
ment of the spiritual and physical
faculties as is pure air, and there is
untold wisdom in the old saying, All
work and no play makes Jack dull
boy
Encourage him when he tries to do
even if he fails. Failures which teach
us how to avoid future disasters are
successes. Make him feel that you
rest upon his faithfulness and truth
in what ever you instrust to him.
DO not blame him when he is not
at fault, even if things do not turn
out as you have expected Never dis
parage his efforts Continual dispar-
agement breaks his boys spirit, and
there is nothing more inspiring, moth
ing more refreshing in the world,
than the broad, courageous. undis-
mayed hopefulness of a manly boy.
Take him into your confidence
early. Let him know what you are
going to plant in the ten-acre field,
and how you propose to make the up
land fields pay
Don't snub him. The man who
snubs a boy is unworthy to be the
father of a son. Let him have the
money he earns. You would have to
pay the hired man for taking care
of the calves and the colts; why not
remunerate your boy
"Do not disgust him with farming
in the beginning by telling him that
he does not need anything but his
board and clothes now, because he will
have it ALI when you are gone. Five
dollars when the boy is ten years old
is more to him than five thousand
will be when you are dead and gone
and he has the farm.
do not devote all the land to corn
and potatoes and things that pay
The garden and the orchard are i'm
partant factors in the life on the farm,
and the flower bed ought to receive
just as much attention as the onion
bed where you expect to raise the
strongly favored candidates for the
first premium at your county fair next
fall.
do not starve your family for the
sake of taking the best of everything to
market. A broad and generous soul
cannot develop in starved body. Live
in just as good a house as you can
own, free from mortgage. Have
pleasant, sunny living room with the
books and papers and music.
Encourage your boy to invite his
friends there, and yourself greet them
cordially when they come. The lack
of social privileges at home is one
fertile cause of the temptation exerted
by city life on the country young man"
