BE A FARMER.

Now is the time to get a nice farm and settle down. Farms are divided into two kinds-the abandoned and those that want to be. Having se- cured your farm, proceed to settle on 1t as gracefully as possible. To begin with, mortgage your property in town, and gather together all your available resources.
 Much can be done with an aban- doned farm If one has money and courage enough. First: remove all the superfluous rocks. To do this start rockery. Whenever, in walking over your farm, you notice powder or so loafng around, left over from the heartless old glacial period, with nothing on earth to do but gather moss, pick it up care lessly and add it to the rockery. Af- ter while you will get into the habit. Then. in case you run out of resources, you can, with the muscle thus acquired. spend the rest of your life in a museum, as a strong man.
 Second: secure a respectable and even-tempered herd of kine. Kline are largely used to give milk and to furnish models for oil-paintings. You can also use them to drive to pasture. Driving a herd of kline to pasture is not only splendid exercise better than golf-but 1t also adds to your sense of the beautiful.
 Third: keep on hand a stock of hens. These delightful companions will be perpetual source of amuse- ment and profit. Accompany them with some chandeliers. As long as they cheer you by their presence, you need no alarm clock. There are, of course, many other joys to farm, which will naturally occur to every one; the old, germ-laden buck ct. the green collie apple orchard, the malaria duck-pond, the hired man who sleeps in the haymov, and the artistic leaks in the roof where the sun comes peeping in at morn-on bright days.
 But the best thing about a farm Is the rest you get. After you've fed the hens, tucked up the kine, sawed wood, unhitched old Dobbin, and locked up after the hired man. you can lie down on your lignum-vliae bed and sleep right through until nearly 3 a. m.-Success Magazine.

TAFTSTEPS DOWN
Will Now Bave Plenty of Time to Look Afler Ills Presiden.
 tIsl Interests
WRIGHT TAKES REINS

Washington, July 1.-Secretary of War William H. Taft to-day relin- quished to other hands the reins of official position and once more be- came private citizen.
 After having been the executive head of the war department for four years and five months, he retires now to undertake the duties and re- responsibilities of a candidate of q great political party for the presi- dency. MT Taft's final duty at the war department was the presenta- tion to the officials of the department of his successor, Governor Luke E. Wright He said he regarded 1t as not merely a duty but pleasure 70 induct Governor Wright into his new office and start him on the way Ee should go."
 AS private citizen, Mir Taft is inclined to the opinion,' as he eX- pressed it, that he will have enough to do for few months to occupy the attention of any reasonable man. T
 His routine campaign york began to-day. It was commonplace enough in way as it consisted of signing several thousand letters wich he had written in response to congratu- latory messages received by him both by mail and by telegraph. These messages came not only from every part of this country but substantial- ly from every part of the civilized world. In the course ot his official life Mir Taft visited many of the iri- portant countries of tho world and in each one of them he has warm per sonal friends who took delight .n sending him cordial f.lici;ations and good wishes for his future success. If is doubtful whether any man nom- mated for public office in recent years received so many messs ges of coa- graduation than has MT Taft. They are contained in several large boxes and constitute veritable library in thmeselves.
 MT Taft took up In earnest to-day the work of his political campaign. Despite rumors and conjectures which have been afioat for several days re- garding the selection of a chairman of the republican national committee assurance Is given that the choice of MT Taft as yet has fallen definitely upon no man. Tentatively at least two decisions have been reached since the subcommittee of the national committee conferred with MT Taft in Cincinnati June 20, but in both in- stances, the decision practically had to be abandoned.
 Mir Taft expects to have a confer ence on the subject late this after noon with Arthur I. vorys, the Ohio manager of his preliminary campaign. It is reasonably certain that Mir Vorys himself will not be selected. al- though he is likely to be identified with the campaign in an important capacity.
 At noon to-day General Luke Wright took the oath of office as sec retary of war.

 Contractor Conklin started laying curbs on Baldwin street to-day, commencing at Madison street. Walks have been ordered from that poins clear down to Madison street, but owing to the row over that class of work it is extremely doubt full If they will be constructed that distance this year. It was thought that the new law would settle the trouble that always existed re- garding sidewalks. but this is moi SO. The cos. now is SO far below what if used to be when the work was done by contract that everybody ls willing to pay for sidewalks and as the money available Is limited it Is easy to see that many will have 10 wait.

HAND BOOK IS OUT
Congressional Commiilee oi the Democratic Party Broke For.
 mer Records.

1a
 Washington, July 1.-The demo- cratic congressional committee has broken it's record in the issuance of a handbook four months before the presidential elections. Tl.is publica- tion contains nearly 400 pages. ex- tracts of speeches made iE congress during the last session, most of them having been delivered during the month preceding the adjournment. It is composed exclusively of congress sional speeches and consequently can be franked by members of congress.
 After the Denver conyen- tion has been held hhe national democratic committee will issue it's regular handbook as usual. The present publication by the congressional committee, however, is of special interest in defining what it is believed at this time will be the issues of the cam paign. Republican extravaganza is apparently to be the key note ot the congressional campaign as it is given the first place in the hand book.
 Financial and industrial condi- tions'' form the second subject treated in the book. The republi- can party is held responsible so far as any party can be responsible, for the stringency that occurred last fall. To the "tariff and trusts" are devoted about 80 pages of the book
 Federal Usurpation," Currency Reform Philippine Policy, Tyranny of the speaker and rules Committee of the House of Repre- sentatives, Republican Responsi- bility," are all subjects considered at length.
 The alarming conditions that face the country are commented up- on and the publicity of campaign funds" "vindication" of Judge Parker, a chapter on labor, the merchant marine and the election of United States senators by popular vote conclude the category of sub jects.
 The committee regards it's chap ter on republican responsibility" as of special importance and quotes as speech by Representative Sherman of New York. yice-presidential can didate on the republican ticket.

 When Henry Clark lectures, the people listen, for they recognize in him the best type of the popular lec- tnrer. He is entertaining, and he is eloquent. His subjects are unique, and they are developed with the skill that instructs and at the same time entertains. Boxes and Play Ball were given at the.

THE RED CROSS.
By EDWIN A. WYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Wye

The editor is glad to say a word for the National Red Cross society, one of the most practically benefcent organ iZations on earth.
 This society wants 3.OOO,OOO mem- bers in the United States who will pay $1 each as an annual membership fee
 One dollar isn't so much. but S3.OOO. GOO Is lot of money and not too much to put into the annual treasury of this fine organization.
 It is pre-eminently the good Samari tan of our day. stooping to bind up the wounds of the man on the road to Jericho.
 The accomplishments of the Red Cross in the day of crisis are known and read of all men. When whelmed with disaster it is the one source of help toward which every suffering community the world over turns it's ap- pealing eyes. The history of it's labors of relief is the history of the wars and the calamities of the past half century. a large sum of money.
 ne Keu cross mas always been sup ported by voluntary gifts. The re sponse to the appeal of it's officers has always been generous because the gv- CTS know the money will be well cX- pended. The donations have been mostly from the wealthy.
 It is greatly to be desired that the average private citizen should take q livelier personal interest in the work of the Red Cross This in itself would be q desira ble thing
 But. most important of all, such co operation of the people would provide a permanent fund that could be used in an emergency. Doubtless many lives might be saved by the prompt use of such a fund without waiting for popular subscription.
 In this day of organization and pub lie appeal there is no cause more de serving of popular support than tn" Red Cross.
 If you give dollar to this societ,' you give a dollar-plus.
 Because no salaries are paid.
 Because every cent of the one hun dred goes for actual relief.
 Send your dollar to the Red Cross so- ciety and go into partnership with your suffering fellows.
