and lonesome as 1t used to be since
there is a daily mail and daily
newspaper laid on the doorstep and
d trolley car to take the women and
girls to town without compelling the
father or husband to leave his plow
in the furrow, or take the team off
some other work.
The greatest progress and the
largest number Of innovations In ag-
ricultural settlements are in the
West, the new communities that have
sprung up upon the irrigated land,
and in the rich valleys where or
cA ards and other fruit crops are pay
ing such large profits.
In a letter from Twin Falls, Id,
not long ago / described how much
electricity was being used in the
farm houses; how the farmers wife
not only read novels from circulat-
ing binary by an electric lamp, but
did her washing and ironing, churned
her cream and washed her dishes by
electric power. One farmers wife
told me that she did everything but
milk the cows and make honey by
electricity.
AS one rides around the rural dis
tricts out west he frequently hears
the voices of Caruso or Schuman-
Heink coming floating out to the
roadside fro mthe parlor windows
half concealed by a bunch of ever
green trees, and If he will stop his
horse by the roadside he will I'M
doubtedly have the pleasure to one
of Sousa's marches or the famous
sextet from Lucia" which seems
to be a great favorite among phono-
graph owners in the West. When Q
farmer comes in tired from the field
nothing rests him SO much as to cit
on the porch and light his pipe and
listen to a little canned music" as
they call 1t. In several places !
visited this summer out West, I was
told that 80 per cent Of farmers,
families had monographs, and that
10 per cent of them had automoF
biles; and II the prices and harvesta
of the last few years are repeated
there is no telling what other add
tional luxuries and amusements that
hard-working portion of the popula'
ton may be able to enjoy.

We can rejoice and be glad no matter where we

Why not? 1t was bad enough to be in Jail. God
