The Meaning of Education.

THAT man, think, has had a lib
eral education who has been so
trained in youth that his body is the
ready servant of his will, and does
with ease and pleasure all the work
that, as mechanism, it is capable of;
whose intellect is clear, cold, logic
engine, with all it's parts of equal
strength and in smooth working or
der; ready, like steam engine, to
be turned to any kind of work, and
spin the gossamers as well as forge
the anchors of the mind; whose mind
is stored with a knowledge of the
great fundamental truth of nature
Whose passions are trained to
come to heel by a vigorous will, the
servant of a tender conscience, who
has learned to love all beauty, wheth-
er of nature or of art, to hate all vile
ness and to respect others as himself
Such an one and no other, conceive
has had liberal education, for he
is in harmony with nature. He will
make the best of her and she of him.

A Harvest Home Party.

In Sweden they make ceremony of
bringing In the last sheaf of wheat

originality issued invitations for
Harvest Home" party at her place in
the country. 1t is now quite the thing
not to return to town until the first of
November, so the beautiful foliage
and the glories of autumn are enjoyed
to the full. At this party, which was
given last year. too late to get in the
department owing to the fact that it
must be made up several weeks in ad-
vance, the house and spacious ver-
andas were literally covered with gor-
geous oak and maple leaves, as was
the lower floor of the great barn
where dancing took place at eight
o'clock. The hours were from five to
ten, which just permitted the making
of trains to and from the city.
A novel feature was the playing of
the band composed of the workmen on
the place. They were mostly Ger
mans, and as each department had
its own foreman with helpers the or
ganization was quite complete as well
as unique. They played for the dan
cling, and to most stirring march
they led the gay party to the last
sheaf of wheat in the field. 1t was
laid in the pony cart belonging to the
ten-year-old daughter of the house,
who drove the prettily decorated
pony into the barn, where the sheaf
was placed in the middle of the clean
ly swept floor and the hostess paid a
tribute to Ceres. a health being drunk
in mulled cider made on the place and
served by the hostess. After a supper
of fried chicken, boiled ham, hot muf-
fins, rice and tomatoes cooked to-
gether with shrimp, which the colored
cook said was "Jumbalaya," tea, cot

and pumpkin pie, the dancing began,

was what the hostess called Farm

pertained to work on the farm, and
the favors consisted of big straw hats
sunbonnets, whips. milking stools, tin
pals, spades, rakes, hoes, etc. 1t was
all very original and pretty. Cider
frappe was on hand for the dancers.

Fatal Gift Of Humor

vain witticism. There was once a
man named Franklin = Benjamin
Franklin-who joked himself out of
the loftier range of Office, tradition
says. And on the other hand, only
q few years ago. and in our own town,
there was harmless fat man who be-
came mayor. and first citizen, and
all that sort of thing merely by look

ADDED TO THE MISFORTUNE
Discarded Auto Simply Acted as De
coy to Bring Other unde-
sirables.

Asa Paine, vice-president of the
American Automobile association, said
In st. Augustine of the automobile
industry:
Cars are now made to last. The
rich man no longer finds his 1907 car
questionable, like his 1907 coat, in
1909.
"At the beginning of the industry
car was antiquated in no time-so
antiquated that people laughed at it.
They tell a story in Detroit about
a dealer who had, in 1900, an anti
quated 1895 car. He tried vainly to
sell this car. He put lower and lower
price tags on it-s100. $50, $1e-and
finally he put on a tag to the effect
that the car was to be given away.
even then there were no takers.
$50 one evening, desperate, the
dealer left the 1895 car in vacant
lot beside his shop, hoping that some
one would steal it in the night. But
when he came down to work the next
morning, not only was the old car
| still there, but another one of similar
pattern had been placed beside it,"

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-

ence of others who have made the
trial.

nights of sleeplessness. tried to give
up the use of coffee entirely, but found
it hard to go from hot coffee to a
