report give an income Of $500 per

certain that the income of the land
might be increased one or two dollars
per acre without any considerable

be brought about either by improved

One of the duties of the experiment

farmers, but this can not be done

Like many other people, he would find out that, if he gets a busi- ness of his own, he will be free to do as he likes, but will be bossing himself around more insistently than his old em- ployer ever did.
 The man who is his own boss has many things 10 contend with. He can never get up so high that he has no boss. Every customer with whom he deals is his boss as long as he is dealing with him. He must satisfy all demands of that GUS toner 1T he wants to do business with him, and put up with his peculiarities and serve him to the best of his ability. All financial obligations he undertakes. such as the payment of notes for borrowed capital or credit granted him in the nat ural way, are bosses for whom he is working constantly. Frequently they de mand his labor of an evening, when his employees are free from business care.

Systematized Designs
 for Money.

TN A comparatively short while now the

 . the denominations of various paper bills in a roll will be much alleyiated if plans of the Treasury officials bring the results anticipated. new set of notes and coin certificates are to be put Into circulation The paper currency of the country Is to be more thoroughly system atized as to design than it Is at present. There are now 19 different designs used on the various paper moneys in circula- tion. Under the new arrangement there are to be but nine. For example, five dellar notes are now in two designs. The head of an Indian chief appears on the silver certificate. while portrait of An drew Jackson, surrounded by frontiers man and his family. appear S1 the United States note. In all other denominations there is an equal variety. 6
 When the new currency appears each class of note will bear the same portrait. For example. the five-dOlar note, whether silver certificate or a greenback, will bear the picture of Lincoln. No portrait will be seen on more than one denomna- tion. The well-knOwn Indian head, the buffalo and the eagle, will disappear from the currency. as will any duplication that may be confusing. The different denomi- nations will also be distinguished by cOlor of the ink used. Cleveland's portrait will adOrn all ten-dollar bills, Grants the fifty dollar bills.

Lucky Numbers.

~ROM time immemorial superstition
 has attached luck or i'll luck to cer-
 tain numbers. and there are -: few men who are entirely free -rom this hallucination. For a long time even num- bers were considered unlucky. 1t being argued that their divisibility was sym bolicaHy. an omen of death. On the other hand odd numbers were considered lucky because they are not dvisible. The old Romans were especially attached to the number g. as it Is the smallest indivisible number. Their faith in this number manifested Itself even in their religion. Jupiter wielded a triple thunderbolt and Neptune carried q three -pronged trident. Pluto had a three headed dog. and there were three fates, three furies Id three graces. They also held that any number that could be divided by was lucky.
 The most prevalent numerical supersn- tion, without doubt. concerns the number 13. Many people will rot sit at a table where there are 13 guests. I. has been argued that this superstition has come down to us from the Last Supper of Our Lord, when, 2 1t will be re<hembered, Christ, with his twelve Disciples. was seated st the table, and the death of Himself Snd Judas followed shortly after wards The numbers and : appear with surprising frequency in the Bible, and for that reason many people attach peculiar attributes to them.

 No man is ever his own boss completely in this world. ana no man can climb so high that he does not find someone higher up who bosses him, even though indirectly.

Though he does not have to get to the office at q certain time in the morning and report to his employer, he is, never theless, employed by every one of the S0-odd millions of people in the United States. They are all his bosses. indirect Y, and he feels his obligation 10 them if he be a conscientious president. There is but one way :n which man can be his own boss, and that is-to boss him self and to see that he does what he is capable of doing In jealous fashion.

Out In the Back Yard

E% the springtime it Is surprising
 E how many men fairly revel in spadlng
 3 and digging and fumbling around In their back yards over a family garden. Aside from the results obtained 1t is good. healthy exercise. The man who goes al 1t in earnest. however. even on a small scale. will be surprised at the fruits his labor will bear.
 In q back yard only 20 by 30-feet many useful things can be raised. The ground should first be well sDaded and fertiized before any planting is attempted. The soil must be well prepared for the seed to bring results. Each bed should be from three to five feet wide and us long as the yard, with a small pathway in between them. Lettuce, radishes, beets. onions and parsley are safe ventures for the rma- teur gardner. and their seeds should be sown crosswise the beds. As soon the plants have attained an inch or so of growth apply the Darwlnian law of the survival of the fttest and weed out the weddings A corner of the garden next to the fence may be devoted to early and late crops of peas. beans and beets. Even sweet corn may be attempted if planted on the plot reserved for the peas after one crop has been harvested. Seeds for the peas should be planted about four inches deep, in ground that has been worked until 1t is very fine. Then stamp the ground down with the feet, or with the back of a spade until 1t is fairly hard. All seeds purchased at any of the seed stores have full directions IS to their planting. But the fact that seeds have been planted Is no assurance that food tIOp will result.

Is Being Ore's O,on Boss Worth While?

&0 HERE is a lot of talk nowadays about the pleasure, comfort and 3 satisfaction of being ones own boss SArz that needs looking into before ac-
