The Short Course.

1t is admitted that the person who
can make two blades Of grass grow
where but one grew before is a public
benefactor. And the same line Of
reasoning should apply 70 those who
are striving for the succ. IS Of the
short course. which commences in
this city next Monday and contin-
ues during the entire week. The
object of this course is to teach up
todate farming methods, teach how
to increase farm products and their
values; teach the worth of farm
knowledge; teach why knowledge is
power in farming as we'll as in any
other business.

The Inventive Hornet.

being the first to gather wood pulp
aud tran .orm it into thin semi-trsns-

things DR.. Henry c. McCook, writ

such originality for them, basing his
conclusion upon An extended observa-
ton of nest beneath his window.

sick man.
1t was q poor place; there were no
nurses old men loa6Dg there through
the winter on pleas of illness helped
wait on the helpless patients; the 9TH
ers did for one another.
Uncle Jerry was very homesick.
He vas seldom out of pain, and it hurt
him to see how little chance to get
vel the poor fellows had. The doc
tors orders were often disregardsd, or
carelessly fulfilled
One young boy was very sick with
the pneumonia in the bed next to him.
Uncle Jerry took to nursing HIM.
The poor lad,'h he thought hes
too young to lose his chance Of life.
He began to do things for the 9TH
ers, to keep account Of the hours for
medicine, and pin it to each rough
headboard. he made Cruel, heated
milk and fixed the FIRE. The doctor
began to depend on him. I'm good
for something, after all, - the old man
would say, "and perhaps the Lord
sent the rheumatic to just get me
here"
The day before Thanksgiving there
was sound of strong steps on the
porch, and the door few breezilY open.
A big six-footer stood there, his pres
ence seeming to ell the dingy space.
"Here you are, Uncle Jerry" he
called, "but you needn't think Johnny
Simmons is going to let you stay in an
old place like this I've just got home.
and l tell you l made things hot on
