THE FARMERS BOY

In Many Instances He Has a Mistaken
 Idea of City Life.
 The great trouble with country boys is that they are not aware of tho circum- stances under which the city boy is com pelled to work and live if he has to earn his living by the sweat of his brow. The idea held up to the country boy is to go to town and get nice, easy, soft snap such as So-an-so has. How many of them do it? Not one In a thousand. Far more go there to find work in some close, stagnant mill, to sweat amid the fumes of steam or tobacco smoke, or perhaps in some iron mill or foundry, surrounded by the curses of their fellow men, toll out weary day of eleven or thirteen hours and after the day is over go homeland to such a homel Up some little back street in n bandbox built of brick and named a house more than likely our workman has his home, there to pass away the weary hours of the night amid the heat and stagnation of probably a filthy street only 8 flow feet wide, hot, close and dirty. In any large city on some sultry night one may see the workmen and their families in these little narrow city streets stretched about the steps and pavements in all conditions. These are not slums either, but fairly respectable neighborhoods.

Lost Their Ali by Fire

was completely destroyed by fire Mon

the vain endeavor to rescue $50 in
money, which she thought Of after dis
covering the fire. The fire is supposed
to have started from the stovepipe,
which extended through the roof.
