BUCKLEY WHEELER's WIT.

Some Cold Weather Stories.

One Of these days that bright and
squarkling wit, Buckley Wheeler, al

upon the distressing state Of ice in
the Hudson.
1T takes pretty cold weather to
precipitate such field Of ice as this,
he remarked. 4 remember hearing
my brother say one day after he re-
turned from the Klondike, that when
he was living at Dawson City in the

To abate such a nuisance it is necessary to call the attention of the selectmen of the town and have them give notice to the owner of the dog It is said Selectman Fox did send a notice, but the question is whether that Is equivalent to a notice from the selectmen.

Sliding doors divide the main barn

room for cleaning The walls are
plentifully supplied with large win

FARMERS NAME
THEIR PLACES
Caves Sort of Dignity and Air
of Permanence to Farms and
Ia Always of Great
Convenience.
(Ry c. s. MILLERN


I am glad to see so many farmers
naming their places. A name over
the main gateway or on the gatepost
gives sort of dignity and air of per
manency to the farm. farm name
is always a great convenience to trav.
eiers because few of our country
roads are named and n farm cannot
easily be located except by name.
| know some farmers say IT is a
silly and sentimental practise but
do not agree with them. | do not
think much of a man who is not
proud enough OF his home to give 1t a
distinctive name.
In the south nearly every planta-
ton is named and these names carry
with them something of the true spir-
1t OF the love of rural life. II we
give our farms name we will think
moro of them and our children will
always associate with the name some
of the pleasantest memories OF their
lives.
