Rural Optimist.

The pessimisticaI tourist found the freckled farm boy sitting on the turn stile twanging penny jewsharp, says The Chicago News.
 You needn't be so all-fired hap py," warned the tourist, as he slowed up his horse. Do you know what the almanac pradicts?"
 No, indeed, mister" drawled the lad, pausing in his tune. Dad only has one almanac, and he won't let me see that"
 "Well, 1t predicts that there'll be an earthquake within the next ten days that'll shake you inside out"
 Wont hurt me, mister. I broke six mules for dad this season, and I guess when it comes to shaking you up they beat q dozen earthquakes"
 "Well, the week following there Is to be a cyclone that will toss you over into the next county"
 Couldn't please me better. boss There's a circus over there that week and I'm shy of railroad fare"
 "Hmi You are hard nut. Know anything about comets?'
 Never saw one in my life"
 Well, Halley's is due next year and it is liable to hit this old earth and put you out of business with billion sparks"
 The farm lad grinned
 "Billion sparks, mister Gee! ma always did say I'd have a brilliant finish, and I guess that's what she meant So long!"

A Great Organizer.

Joseph Arch, who has just reached his SSd year. is the man who achieved the marvellous feat of fully organiz- ing the agricultural laborers of Eng land He began his career by fright ening birds off the crop at 4d day. At that time tea was Is pound and sugar too dear to sweeten it with. The average wage among the laborers was 12s a week; they asked for 16s, and Arch got it for them. In few months the members of the national agricultural laborers' union. numbered 50, 900. and ultimately Arch was re- turned to parliament as one of the pio- neer labor members.-Tit-B Bits.

 The storm did considerable damage at Pleasant View, the bank being washed away to the board walk, except where the seawall is built. The cement walk in front of the Bliven hotel was destroyed, as was also the sun dial, with base of solid cement and beach stone, in front of the A. R. Stillman cottage. Beach stone five feet in height were piled along the frontage of the cottage owned by Christ Epis- copal church of Norwich. This storm has demonstrated that a seawall is an almost absolute necessity at Pleasant View, in order to prevent possible property damage by unusually severe storms.
