Tribute to the Hon.

The hog occupies a conspiciou.
place in the annals of the American
farmer. The more he is studied the
more he is appreciated. And the
more he is appreciated the more he
is cultivated. A writer in the Ne.
Draska Express. Mr.. A. H. Kidd. paws
him the following tribute:
Take off your hat to his lordship,
the Hog. There is none more worthy
our obeisance than he. Though of
lowly origin, he is the king of he
mighty West. Though by the inexor-
able decree of fate he is doomed to a
life of confinement ard self-denial.
yet he gives up his life hat his
captors may wax fat and inherit the
earth. Such an example of self
sacrifice for the public good is rarely
TO be found. Sprung from a race that
was ~despised and reviled by all men,
yet by his innate worth and his
philanthropic deeds, he has made for
himself an honored place among the
be%nefactors of the human race, He
enters the homes of the rich and the
poor with the same lordly demeanor,
fully confident that his presence is
welcome, and his absence greatly to
be deplored.
Men OF all nations struggle with
each ether for the privilege of max.
ing him his business partner, and the
man with whom he enters into bust
ness alliance is envied by his neigh
bors while he yearly adds to the size
of his bank account, and gathers in
the surrounding farm lands. He is
the greatest mortgage litter and the
unsurpassed happiness producer.
Give him but a comfortable place
in which to roam, a frugal meal Of
maize and slop, a bubbling spring 20
quench his thirst, and he becomes a.
once your truest friend in time OF
adversely. Kings have been crowned,
have strutted their brief time upon
the stage, have died, been buried and
forgotten, but his lordship, the Hog,
reigns on forever. Each year extends
the boundaries of his dominion, and
strengthens the fealty of his subjects.
Cotton may be king OF the miasmatic
regions in the South; rice may be
queen of the land of the alligator and
the moccasin snake; the gentle COW
may reign DER the rolling acres of the
dreary East; the horse may lord it
over the land where the blue grass
grows and the moonshiner hides;
wheat may be king of the land where
the billiards. blow and the torrents
fall; but the king of the broad and
the sweeping West, the land of sun
shine and happiness, of fair women
and brave men. of peace and content
ment, of plenty and prosperity, is his
lordship, the Hog. Take off your hat
to the king. Long live the king

COLORS FOR THE AUTUMN.
Brilliant and Beautiful Tones Are to
Be in Vogue.

The new pistache shade indicates
the o of the shell, a dull, soft will
low green with a faint yellowish cast
in the lighter tones, while the darker
ones are more on the order of sage
n moss green, all uncommonly sub
dued, yet expressive.
Flowers have had their beautiful
hues initiated in the new colors. There
is, for instance, the %nasturtium in its
gorgeous tints of rich, golden apricot
and warm brOwnish copper, all of
which are shown in Henne, one of the
most beautiful shades of the season.
They are exceptionally deep and eX-
pressive, and are sometimes called
girof1ee, as they resemble the colors
of the walltiower.
The beautiful hue of the lapis lazuli
is Signified by the dark and medium
tones of sirene-a warm, Opaque blue
with just the very faintest touch of
gray-green underlying it. The light
er tones are gorgeous in their rich,
clear bril!iancy.
Among the neutral shades there are
Two lONSly new SrdyS--NdpSur ana elG-
plant. The former is on the pearl
gray color, only blush instead of pink
ish and exceedingly clear and delicate
in all of the three tones. AS the name
implies, it is exactly the cloudy, fragile
color of vapor, while the latter is a
beautiful, deep gun-metal gray, almost
black in the darkest tone, unlike the
real color of the elephant, which is a
dusty, muddy gray.
Rouen blue ranges between tapestry
and Tokyo blue tones, with a tinge
of steel gray very noticeable, particu-
Largely in the lightest of the three
tones. The darker mes bear some
likeness to the perfect dove color and
are extremely rich despite their sub
dued softness.
There are two new shades of tan;
Isabelle, the one, composed of six
tones, of which the darkest are eX-
tremely dull, almost a blackish brown,
while the medium ones are more on
the order of fawn color and the light
est are a decided pinkish beige, very
delicate and smart, and particularly
suitable for being blended with other
colors.

The Farm the Ideal Life.

The country life has always been
pictured as a strenuous one, but Boil
ton Hall, a writer for the Circle,
describes it as an ideal place to live
he simple, transformations life worth
living, the happiest and more care
free of all. He says in part:
The simple life does not consist in
becoming careless and slouchy, or
wearing unbecoming hats, or in alien
ating the affections of ones spouse
by making ones self a drudge.
1t consists in natural social sur
~roundings, suited to cultivated tastes,
where parents and children can live
instead of merely making a living.
The simple country life means a
material reduction in the cost of
living.
The home itself can be less preten-
tlous and more commodious.
The modern American bungalow
gives the maximum of comfort and
dignity at the minimum OF expense,
and is rapidly taking the place of the
W ulicI ouUul jail VI COulltIS IOllIc.
Esthetically, the country means
stretches of field, meadow, and wood
land, liquid bird-notes, tilmy gossamer
webs in the morning, cooling dews in
the evenings, the perfumed breath
OF the blossoms and fruit, all oppor-
tunity to get near to natures heart.
From the practical viewpoint it
can to me working in the rich
blossoming elbowed earth" tilling the
soil, producing what one eats, testing
the of nature first hand,
winning vigor and a clean conscience
from natural relations to the soil. 1t
means knowing ones human neigh
bors and wild ones, as they really
are; it means hours with ones family;
~well-earned rest; to be a producer as
we'll as consume and thus fill ones
proper relations to mankind.
1t meal further a new opportunity
not only for me, but for those who
have never had a change. They have
it now. A new boom is on, the farm
land boom; a new development is be-
ginning, intensive agriculture; a new
discovery, the riches of the soil; a
new opening, the intelligent use of

The Irish (?) Potato.

The potato is a native of the Andes,
particularly of Chile and Peru, and
some writer's claim that it was found
growing wild as far north as the
Toltec gorge in southern Colorado.
1t probably was first introduced into
Europe by the Spaniards about the
middle of the sixteenth century. In
1850 it was taken to England from
Virginia, where, however, it was
probably derived from a Spanish
source. Its progress in Europe was
slow, it's culture, eve in Ireland, not
becoming general until the middle of
the eighteenth century, but it is now a
staple food in most temporary
climates.

PRESCRIBED cUTlcURA
After Other Treatment Failed-Raw
Eczema on Baby's Face Had
Lasted Three Months-At Last
Doctor Found Cure.

Our baby boy broke out with &c.
zema on his face when one month old.
One place on the side of his face the
size of a nickel was raw like beefsteak
for three months, and he would cry
out when l bathed the parts that were
sore and broken out. I ave him
three months treatment from a good
doctor, but at the end of that time the
child was nc better. Then my doctor
recommended Cuticura. After using
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a
box Of Cuticura Ointment, and half a
bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was
well and his face was as smooth as any
baby's. He is now two years and a
half old and no eczema has r%eappeared.

FARMING in
THE SOUTH
The Old Homestead.


In the quiet shadows of twilight
l stand by the garden door,
And gaze on the old, old homestead,
So cherished and loved of yore.
But the ivy now is twining
Unframed DER window and wall,
And no more the voice of the children
Is echoing through the hall.
Through years of pain and sorrow,
Since first | had to part.
The thought of the dear old homestead
Has fingered around my heart.
The porch, empowered with roses,
The gables dropping caves,
And the song of the birds at twilight
Amid the orchard leaves.
And the forms of those who loved me
In the happy childhood years,
Appear at the dusky windows,
Through vision dimmed with tears.
| hear their voices calling
From the shadowy far away,
And stretch my arms toward them,
In the gloom of the twilight gray.
But only the night winds answer,
AS | cry through the dismal air;
And only the bat comes swooping
From the darkness of his lair.
Yet still the voice of my childhood
Is calling from far away,
And the faces of those who loved me
Smile through the shadows gray.

Sometimes Hard to Tell.

George Eliot says that the express
sion on a woman's face when she is
sewing tells the story of the woman's
heart. If she is happy and contented,
or possibly slovenly and Indifferent,
she may smile and look the happi-
ness she either feels or is incapable
of feeling. If she has many things to
worry her and is possibly planning
how to make ten cents do a dollars
worth of good, or if she is naturally a
vixen, it will show in her face, so aft
er all it is not safe to predicate as to
what her sewing face reveals.

Our town road does not look much
like it did three years ago this spring.
However, it always reminds me of the
old Nad because it is so different.
Then we dragged through two feet
of mud and water or took dow the
fences to go through the fields. Now
the road is good most of the time and

The Narrow Cravats.

The long narrow cravats of velvet
ribbon are bidding for favor, and as an
accessory will probably brighten many
of the new frocks for fall.
Those in black velvet are appliqued
with colored flowers and are finished
with steel beaded tassels or a similar
decoration, while those of black satin
are knotted at intervals and end in a
ruff1e of plain white Brussels net
hemmed and tucked on edge.
Then there are crocheted cravats in
white thread, besides many other de-
