The FARM ER.

The farmer is a man OF wit,
There's simply no denying it,
He leads a life of pampered ease,
And is as happy as you please.
At nine o'clock he's ready for
His morning rolls and cafe noir;
And when the gourmet thus is fed,
His valet helps him out of bed
From ten to one he reads the news,
The market tips and trade reyiews1
To corn and wheat his heed he gives,
For It's by these the farmer lives.
So having figured for the day
Which way the market he will play,
His batch of daily bread is made,
BY dealings on the Board of Trade
His daily labors being through,
The farmer takes his lunch at two;
Then DOMINIC riding garb, he'll cali
His favorite motor from the stall
He rides about to view his farm
And feel the restful country's charm
Illo Nilty VIII paints anu 1hGbNhlHG
pad.
And all The trinkets of her fad.
Her easel sets beneath tree,
And paints the view from two to-
three,
At six o'clock they dine in state
The farming life is simply great!
The products of the earth and air
Are on the table groaning there.
Sweet milk is always at their hand,
Bought by the case all neatly canned.
The trolley line that ratles down.
1t brings them butter fresh from town,
And eggs and luscious chicken fries,
The best the city's mart supplies;
Green truck and fruit all crisp and
nice,
Just taken from cold storage ice,
And juicy, luscious ham, o my
The best the packers can supply.
No wonder life upon the farm
Has always held so rare a charm
The cry of 'Rubel" which town folks
shout,
Is only envy, inside OUT
Kansas City Star.

crust trimmed off, is the foundation
for these. When making the mayon-
naise filling add a mustard spoon of
dry mustard, and use cayenne, lemon
juice and touch of sugar for other
seasoners. The whole bite will also
seem far more delicious if the filing
includes two fragments of lettuce,
these incIosing the mayonnaise in a
roll.
Herring sandWiches-The homeless
strips put up in glass jars or small
boxes are convenient for these. If
the herring seems unpleasantly strong
soak the strips in cold wafer for
half an hour. After this cook them
gently in a hot pan with a little but
ter, and add, while cooking, a little
cayenne. White bread which Is not
too fresh is suitable for the casing.
Stuffed eggs-Boil six eggs for fiji
teen minutes and let them stand in
the same water till it is lukewarm.
After this thoroughly chill them in
cold water, cut directly in halt take
out the yolks and mix them INTO
paste with three tablespoons Of fresh
ly toasted bread crumbs rolled to
powder, one tablespoon of olive oil
or more as he Iiked-a teaspoon or
lemon juice, and salt and cayenne TO
taste If the oil and acid are not
liked, use melted butter or cream
and season with chopped parsley
Eggs prepared in this way are in
valuable for excursion lunch baskets
as they are as filling and appetizing
and not the least messy.
AnchOvy tartines-Select the SWed
ish anchovies, which are put up in
bottles: Wash them off with warm
water and let them soak for an hour
in fresh olive oil Put between salt
ines or thin slices Of day old white
bread A few drops Of lemon juice
improves them.
Caviar bites-Cut rye or white
bread in long inch strips, and sDreao
with a good paste of Russian caviar.
Lemon juice is indispensable with
such bites.
Appetizers-A single, big, black
radish cut in straw strips and sea
soned with salt makes a cheap and
piquant picnic appetizer. One good
sized radish is enough for a dozen
persons. Ripe olives, cured in the
Italian way with salt, strips of smok-
ed salmon, picked mussels, oysters
and shrimps are other appetizers
which may be found in any grocery
store. The sea things are better,
however, if bought from the fish man

A City of Misfortune.

New York Tribune.-Little Acapul
CO, with it's 5000 inhabitants, ha:
achieved worldwide fame as a city O
misfortune.
Twice this year it has been the
scene of a catastrophe. On February
Is, 300 persons were burned to deatE
when the Flores theater was set Oh
fire by a moving picture machine and
destroyed at a special performance in
! honor of Governor Flores of the state
Of Guerrero.
Several times before the city has
been damaged by severe earthquakes
In fact, the state of GuerrerOis known
as the home of seismic disturbances.
It's severest shock occurred in 1907.
The whole region suffered, and Chill
pancingo, the capital city, was prac-
ticaIly destroyed. In 1908, Chilapa,
city of some $4,000 inhabitants, was
badly damaged, and on March 27, of
the same year, that city was again
shaken, completing the ruin of the
former shock.
Nevertheless, Acapulco, beset by
trOpic perils and cursed by a hot, I'M
healthy climate, is one of the most
beautiful spots in the world. It's name,
corruption and abbreviatiOn of
Aquae Pulchrae beautiful waters),
rings true. The coast at this point
is sheer cliff. Not till the steamer is
almost upon it does the bluff walled
blue channel to Acapulco harbor ap-
pear.
At the end of the winding passage
is broad bay, lined with rolling hills,
covered with thick forest. The town
lies on the north shore and about the
hills are rich plantations.
Cortez himself discovered this BAY
in 1881, and it was then the history
Of Acapulco began. From there he
sent out the expedition which dis
covered SinalOa and there perished
From Acapulco, also, fernando de
AlarcOn set sail in 1910 to discover
California. And it is a quaint little
old place, more Mexican and more
artistic than most Of the Mexican
ports.
Acapulco harbor is one of the finest
in the world. 1t lies 231 miles south
west of Mexico City, of which it was
formerly the seaport. 1t had been for
centuries the chief center of COM
merce with the Philippine islands, as
well as with China and India. By
pack trail the merchandise went over
land from Acapulco to Mexico CITY
and points beyond. Then came the
railroad through from the capital to
San Bias, and with it departed the
commercial Importance of Acapulco.

Almost as she spoke there arose
upon the still air the sound of voic-
es cheering, the bell rang out in
wild, joyous clamor, and upon her
ears there smote the sound Oh horses

The sound came nearer, and pres

She would have let it pass, even

"LuciIle!"
That was all, but as they stoou
locked in an embrace that conveyed
all the longing love of those two long
years, their eyes spoke volumes.
ooh, Harry! oh, my darling! Let
me look at you! Is it really you?
All, how dark it is! If there was
more light. Let me feel you, Harry,
that I may know it is really you!
Oh, my darling, at last, at Iast!"
And he, strong man as Ae was,
! could say nothing for a while but
whisper her name. And so arm IN
arm, stopping often to ask questions
which they gave each other no time
to answer, they made their way to
the Court, where true and tried
friends-Mrs Dalton, Lady Farnley,
and last, but not least, Susie-await-
ed them to rejoice in their joy.
It was to have been a quiet wed
din; but you cannot have a quiet

Mothers Value.

Ihls happened years ago, but it is
worth repeating. In a certain home
was the oVerinduIgent mother of three
daughters. You can just imagine
what the weeks washing was with
dresses for all those girls, each with
three or four petticOats, besides many
other articles. This mother did the
washing, ironing, cooking, baking and
about everything imaginable. and the
daughters-well, they were "cuItured'
and did not do very much Of anything
except eat the good meals and wear
the clean clothes One day the father
called the mother aside The two had
a long talk and he admitted he was
not able to hire a domestic. The next
day the usual complaint was made by
the girls about the poor dinner and the
mother quietly got up, went to her
room, dressed and came downstairs.
She carried a heavy suitcase and
stopped long enough to tell the chill
dren that she hoped they would have
better meal tn next day Their
father took her to the station and she
was away from home one month.
Every one of those girls learned to
cook, bake, scrub and look after the
house, although they admitted that
for a week they lived on bakers
bread, lemonade, ounce preserves
and either salmon or sardines. It
was a hard lesson for them to learn,
but they knew the value of their
mother after that.

AT THE SET OF THE SUN.

At the set of the sun,
When our life work is done,
With all its tangled web,
When the clouds drift low,
And the streams run slow,
And life is at its ebb;
As we near the goal
When the golden bowl
Shall be broken at its fount;
With what sweetest thought
Shall the hour be fraught.
What precious most shall we count?
Not the fame of the sword,
Nor the wealth we have stored
In perishable things of the earth
Not the way we have trod
With the intellect broad,
Though that were of precious worth
Nor the gain we achieved
Through tue hearts we have grieyet
And left unhelped by the way;
Nor the laurel of fame,
When for worldly acclaim
We toiled in the heat and the fray.
All, no, It's not these
That will give our hearts ease
When life sinks low in the west;
But the passing sweet thought
OF the good we have wrought,
The saddened lives We have bIest.
And the love we have won.
And the love reckoning on,
From his island far and dim;
Love out of the light,
Shining into the night,
The night which Ieadeth to Him.

Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex-
ertion. They cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer
ing. Those who suffer in this
way should try DR.. Miles Anti
Pain Pills. They give almost
instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels; just pleasurable
sense of relief follows their use.
