you make the change. in the name of
that country you have been taught to
hold in reverence. look and do not
leap. If you understand farming there
are just as many chances on the and
to be worked out as there are in the
city.
This is a great country. and il
you do not like the kind Of farming
you are working at there are many
others. II you belong to a family that
follows the grind, grind system Of all
work and no play, when you reach
your majority and start for yourself
follow out an easier system. Do not
condemn country life just because you
have been unfortunate enough to be
brought up in the home Of a man who
knows nothing but grind. Do not over
look the fact that II such a man was
your boss in the city he would grind
your life away. Long. long before you
were twenty-one years old you would
be occupying some six feet of green
turf. where at last you would not hear
the dreaded call and curse of the boss.
Country life may not be and probably
is not what many would like to color
1t; but, all things being equal, 1t is far
preferable to city life. That is just
where it comes In. City life is never
compared with country life on an
equal plane. Remember that IL you
must works in the country for a living
you will have to work in the city for

in yourself to rise above the ordinary
workman in the city that same ability
will carve out a home for you in the
country. Look before you leap, con-

you can better yourself in the city 60;

When you talk Of chance you are
only confessing ignorance. The very
spin Of the coin is governed by the
nerve, muscle or manipulation Of the
thumb and brain that spin 1t. The
only chance about it is your ignorance
of the forces that lift, twist and catch
the coin. II you could calculate the
physical and mental forces between the
halfpenny's leap and return you might

direct effect on the hoppers by depriv-

Originality Needed.

To revive an old style OF building, no
nothing to advance the art of building.
It would at the best be but a copy Of
an old work. Painters copy old a
tiers for the purpose of study. but
copying pictures will never make a
painters reputation. Something new
must be achieved. some original work
executed, before any advance in art is
possible. So 1t is with architecture

A Way BY Which Their Lasting Quail
ties May Be Increased.

ties Nay Be Increased.
While your shoes are new or before
the soles are much worn apply with a
small brush several coats of linseed
oil, letting 1t dry In we'll each time be-
fore reapplying. The oil acts much
the ga me on the leather as 1t does on
wood, and II the applications OF oil
are repeated frequently the sole may
be preserved intact indefinitely.
1t sounds unreasonable to talk Of
preserving hosiery to any appreciable
extent, but 1t may be done. The Of
tener hosiery is washed the longer 1t
will last. BY washing l do not neces-
sarily mean the ordinary laundry
method. which is calculated to fade
and rot the fiber. Really, to preserve
hosiery it must have personal super
vision. Stockings should never be
worn longer than one day. They
should then be rinsed in !ukewarm
water with a few drops of ammonia
In it, dried and worn without ironing.
This repeated wetting Of the fiber
keeps 1t SO Arm and strong that 1t will
not break at the points Of greatest
d~istension. This treatment applies to
cotton, Isle thread and silk hosiery.
II you will treat your new hose this
way from the beginning, you need

strong, Will succumb to wear but the

GallipOli. But the brave, dominating
castles swept away both HellespOnt
and Galipoli and gave their w name
10 the two mile passage. Those ven
eEable castles, built in 1859 to secure
the Turkish feet from the insults of

b an early geographer, as the Old

two others ut the entrance of the
strait, one Of which Stands IN like

but it must have been shortly after the

gave their services, and every member of
the order worked hard collecting more

the king sent other contributions and
there was no halt in the work.

however. only a small part of the church

Owing to the great height and thick
ness of the walls of the church 1t has
been used for a fort on any and every
occasion when necessary. No wars. how

church increasing in wealth. The library
was ranked among the greatest in the

the tomb Of that frontier knight and hero
known as wild Bilp' Is visited by all

cording to the early traditions. the climate
Of Deadwood was SO 1ealthful that ''they
had to kill a man to start q graveyard -
and It was located down in the gulch
Mount Moriah cemetery Is modern and
represents the.second stratum of civiliza-
ton.
In q conspicuous spot, near the center
OF the cemetery, is a high framework of
wood sustaining wire screens Of small
meshes. which h necessary to protect
from the vandals-who Clipped away a
previous monuments rude statue in red
sandstone intended to represent Wild Bill.
It is a good deal OF q caricature, but was
we'll intended, has been greatly admired,
and brought considerable reputation to
a local artist who chiseled It out of a
block Of stone from q neighborhood quar-
ry. A fuIl-length figure is shown in a
short Jacket and buckskin trousers with
fringes down the seams, which was the
hero's usual costume. and his long hair is
coiled around his neck as IL it were a
rope intended to hang him. The eyes
are set with white marble. WHICH gives
the face q sinister expression. and a
broken six-shooter is clasped in the right
hand.
At first we thought this was intended as
a symbol of his career, for he was prob
ably the best marksman with 8 revolver
in the country, and once killed a man by
shooting over his own shoulder. taking
aim from a reflection in a mirror hanging
over a bar. But closer examination
showed that the remainder of the barrel
of the revolver is attached to the coat,
and a section has fallen out.
There is no epitaph, but a footstone of
white marble Is Inscribed:
