very plain what he expects, and
what he does not expect, of those
who draw salaries from him:

Rule IV-You owe so much to

Rule N-Dishonesty is never an

men, cant see temptation when
they meet it.
Rule Nl-Mind your own bust

THE LETTER s.

Did YOU ever think what II very
strange letter 49, il? asks the
Chicago Herald. 1t is II serpent in
disguise. Listen; you can hear IL
his-s-s. 1t is the wizard of the al
phnbct. ltgiVcs possession andmul-
tiplies indefinitely by its touch. It
changes IA tree into trees, aud Il
house into houses. Sometimes it is
very spiteful and will change pet
into pest, pear into spear, IA
word into sword, and laughter
into slaughter.
Farmers have to watch IL closely.
1t will make scorn Of his corn, and
reduce every peck to speck. Some
times he finds it useful. If he needs
more room for his stock, 1t will
change table into stable for him;
and If he IL short of hay he needs
only to set out raw of tacks and it
will turn them into stacks. He
must be careful, however, not to
let nails lie around or 1t will turn
them into snails. If he wishes to
use an engine about his farm work,
he needs not buy any coal or have
any water to run it; let the serpent
glide before his horses and his team
will turn into steam.
II you ever get hurt, call the SER
pent to your aid. Instantly your
pain will be in Spain. Be sure to
take 1t with you the next time YOU
climb the mountains If you desire to
witness II marvel; 1t will make the
peak speak. But don't let it come
around you while you are reading
this; 1t will make the tale stale.

THE MAN AND THE PET FERN
Daily Proceeding That Turns Wife's
Hair Grey Many Years Before
Her Time.

After supper Mr.. Man lights cigar
and sits down for comfortable
smoke. His wife, with regard for
husband and thc'neatness Of her home
evenly divided, places an ash tray on
the table near him, and cuspidor on
the floor. The man is comfortable
and happy and would get mad II any
household disturbance caused him to
leave his chair, but he notices ashes
on the end OF his cigar, and gets up,
passes the ash holder and euspidor,
and crosses the room to drop the
ashes on his wifes pet fern. The
wife has piled as many as ten ash
trays near the man, and surrounded
him with cuspidors. but he ignores all
OF them to find his way to the pet
fern The wife objects, and has been
known 20 put the pet fern in another
room to save 1t, but the man passes
the ash trays and euspidors and walks
into the next room to flick OFF the ash
on his cigar. The same man will
walk through six rooms, II need be,
and pass 375 burnt match holders to
drop his match beside the pet fern. 1t
does no good for the woman to object,
or to invest all her pin money in more
ash trays, burnt match holders and
cuspidors, FOR the man will never see
them on his way to the pet Tern. And,
so far as domestic history relates, this
is the only recognition the man ever
gives his wife's plants. And he never
does give recognition to the ash trays,
cuspidors or burnt match holders.
