yet, that the bedquilt money was re-

Van got a long letter from Agnes

grieved. He thought twas a great
joke and didn't seem to care much.
Nate Scudder was glad of the whole

Sad But True.

We have seen a man and wife go
out upon a farm together as their
station in life. She was as fair as
a rose. Her cheeks were the color
of the rising sun, and her eyes like
dew drops. Both were young, and
life looked like a bed of roses to
them. In ten years, what a change!
He big, manly fellow, prosperous
as the world goes, as strong as a
horse, but what of the blushing bride
of ten years ago? She is now hol-
low checked, careworn woman, look
ing ten years older than she is. Her
husband thought she was as strong
as he and let her do her share Of
the work, but he forgot something.
He forgot that she was raising and
bearing a family; that she had the
care of the children day and night;
that there was drain upon. her he
never dreamed of; he forgot that he
had help on the farm when he need
duty when he had extra men. He
was, in other words, selfish and
thought Of no one but himself and
his property. He saw his broad
acres producing bins of grain and
his pastures herds of cattle, but he
never dreamed that the little wife
he took to the farm few years ago
was gradually but surely fading away
from overwork and care. He went
on carelessly and selfishly thinking
of no one but himself, until one day
the family physician was called in
and the horrible truth told him, that
she had only few months to live,
at the best. What were his broad
acres, full bins of grain and herds
of cattle to him then? She helped
to make, but she did not live to en-
Joy them.

Farmer Deceives His Cow.

A farmer who lives in Dallas coun-
ty has superseded his wife in the
affections of the family COW, but the
cow does not know it. He is playing
a joke on the COW and she doubtless
will be angry when she learns of the
deception. His wife always milks
the cow, but this week she decided
to go to Illinois on visit. When
evening came and the cow returned
from the pasture the farmer took
the milking pail and the little stool
and started to milk.
The gentle bovine turned her head
and started in mild surprise to see a
man at her side. Then she became
genuinely aroused and started trou-
BILE. She kicked the bucket and the
bucket holder and tore things up
generally. He was in quandary
The COW had to be MIXED and his
wife was on her way to Illinois.
Then he had an idea and he put it to
work.
He went to the house, donned a
dress belonging to his wife and pull
ed sunbonnet over his face. Re-
turning to the barnyard he approach
ed the COW, and she seemed glad to
see him. He MIXED without anJ
trouble and now he has to wear his
wife's clothes whenever milking time
comes.

Tit For Tat.

A story is told of farmer up
north who went to a neighbor to
borrow his grindstone. You may
use it," said the owner, "but you'll
have to bring your tools down here
to sharpen them" The offer was ac-
cepted. Not long after, the, grind
stone owner wanted to use his neigh
boris harrow. "You may have it
and welcome" said the farmer, "but
you will have to bring your ground
down here to drag it."
