TO SHOW HIS GRATITUDE.
~ONN~~ON~~~

When Hannah Perry was dying.
Gould, the good-for-nothing old fellow
who had been practically supported by
her charity for years, and who had
shirked even the slight Jobs" which
she had given him, underwent a Curl
GUS change. He hovered about the
house continually, knocking at the
kitchen door and asking the woman
that HaDnah's sister had go to cook
during the illness, how "she' was. For
some reason he never called her oy
name.
"IIe came round the first day it got
noised about that Hannah was ailing,"
said the sister to caller after the
funeral, "and wanted to know what
he could do. OF course didn't know
him from Adam, not having visited
here since father died. l told him
Nothing kind of sharp, guess, and he
went off looking shamefaced.
1.-The next day he came round again,
and wanted to know If he could chop
some kindlings. l had found out who
he was, but there wasn't any wood to
be split, Sc told him mo- again, and
he disappeared. l never laid eyes on
him till the day before she died. What
do you suppose he had been doing
that shiftless old fellow? Why, he'd
been bu lding chicken coop for her !"
"a chicken coop!" echoed her listen
er. "Of all things!'
"Yes, Mrs. Douglass, that's what it
was. Not particularly good one.
either. said to him, What is this
for?'
He said, It's for her. and jerked
his thumb up at the window.
"Then he looked so sheepish that
told him to set it next the shed and
come into the kitchen. Hannah gave
up keeping hens ten years ago, and
woman on her deathbed, and got
money saved up the. way she has, isn't
going to start in any poultry bust
ness. OF course l didn't say as much
to him, because it was just plain grief
that made him go to work and do it."
What did you do?''
"Oh, | gave him some pie, and told
him that it was a nice coop, but
didn't think that Hannah'd ever use
it, and sent him off. Poor old fellow. !.
l guess it was the first piece of hard
labor he'd done for many day."
''Or will do"

that his heart is good"
Il wonder" mused the other, "if l
can't find some things for him to potter
round about, now that Hannahs gone.

AUTOMOBILES AND HORSES.

The fight of the horse car men
Against the trolley car is remembered
by all. The claim was then made that
100000 horses would be thrown out
Of work and that horse breeders would
starve. The trolley is well-nigh univer-
sal, and yet more horses are raised
each year than the year before and
they bring better prices.
The horse interests have ever fought
the automobile. There have been thou
sands of columns Of argument publish
ed against it and short-sighted men
have advocated such heavy taxation
against it that great and ever-grow-
ing industry would have been sadly
hampered had half the unwise legisla-
tion planned been put into execution.
Now highway experts, aided by the
motor car interests and powerful as
sociation of London and its suburbs,
have turned like the trodden worm and
started an attack on the horse, the
United States director of office of pub
lie roads says.
The claim they advance is that the
polluting of all public thoroughfares is
done not by automobiles, but by horses !;
that If no horses were allowed to drop
organic matter on public thoroughfares
the dust nuisance would soon be naught
but an unpleasant memory. They ad-
vance the logical statement that the
nuisance created. by hundreds Of thou
sands Of horses is detrimental to pub
lie health and menace to the pave
ments and they charge that the contin-
ual cleansing of the streets because Of
this traffic imposes vast and unjust
tax upon the citizens.

WHERE "DRY. FARMING PAYS
Application of Scientific Method,
Has OYercoma nrnuuha

Application of Scientific Method.
Has Overcome Drought.
Growing reports are reaching here
about the success of dry farming in the
semiarid regions, says Los Angeles
dispatch to the New York Post. New
Mexico has added more new postofices
to Its list during the year than any
other State or Territory; and in re-
gions where rational dry farming"
methods have been adhered to the new
settlers are uniformly prosperous. This
years experience, in fact, has demon.
strated beyond question the full eff
cacy OF the new system Of dry farm
ing. Wherever 1t has been tried. the
results have been good, in spite of
drought Of almost unprecedented length
and severity. 1t can no longer be pre-
dicted that when dry year comes,
the Campbell system will fail" The
dry year is here, and the scientific dry
farmers ere reaping record crops. The
result will be a phenomenal develop
ment in New Mexico, Arizona, and
other regions in the semiarid region
within the next decade.
From New Mexico and Arizona hav>
come widespread complaints of damage
to crops and loss of live stock on ac-
count of the protracted drought. Thous-
ands Of sheep have died of thirst on
the ranges, and many inexperienced
dry farmers" have learned the costly
lesson that farming in the semiarid
lands demands very different methods
from those practiced in the older agri-
cultural communities In one week of
July more than 1000 farmers whose
crops have been almost ruined by the
drought secured leave Of absence from
their homesteads, and went to Kansas
to obtain work as harvest hands in the
wheat fields. Moreover, practically all
OF these will return when the Kansas
wheat harvest is over, and hereafter,
1t is safe to say, they will put in prac-
tice methods better suited to success
full plains farming. The drought in
New Mexico and Arizona has now been
broken, and no further loss or suffer.
ing is anticipated. In spite of these
difficulties the influx of homesteaders
into both the southwestern territories
continues to grow In volume.
