Sairy Jane in Trouble.

Our Sairy Jane hez bin to school
way back in Boston town,
A-fillin up on larnin' the perfessers
handed down.
She went away country gal, so
rosy-cheeked an bright,
But sense she struck the Of home
ranch her manners is a fright!
Her hair she wore piled up her head
in simple style and plain,
But now the way she hez it fixed
gives me an nav a pain.
An we've sneakin notion that
she's got more hair today,
All pulled an curled an primped,
than when she went away.
She used to be a master hand at
helpin' bake and cook;
Now she don't do a blessed thing
but sit an read a book.
She calls it Higher Culture" an
she SEE it hez a charm
That amt connected any way with
life here on the farm.
When washday comes she lies abed
an lets her mother scrub,
An spends the day, an mebby
more, a-bendin' 'crost a tub.
It's mighty plain to all of us that
Sairy James idee
Of what she orter do to home amt
what it used to be!
She's got some fiXin's in her room
with pulleys an with weights,
To make her figger VenuS-like an
beautiful she states;
She seems to hev forgotten that tc
churn an hour or so
Would give the same effect she
takes to make her figger grow
| don't know what's got in the gal
but thar'S one thing | vow:
These monkey shines hev got tC
quit, or there will be a row!
If Sairy Jane don't buckle in, the
way she used to do.
I'll take that gal across my knee
an use a bed slat, tool

Why Some Towns Grow.

The reason why some towns grow
is because there are men of push
and energy in it, who are not afraid
to spend their time and money to
boom the town. They erect SUBJ
stantial buildings, organize stock
companies and establish factories,
secure RAILROADS, work up public
Improvements and use every means
n their power to locate in their
city. Whenever they tell of the
advantages of their city, they write
about them in every letter and
they send circulars and newspapers
to all whom think they can get to
visit the city and when anyone
visits them treat him so kindly
that he falls in love with their city
at once. 1t is enterprise and every
one pulling together that makes a
progressive town and don't let the
fact escape your memory.
To hear every person saying
something pleasant about its people
and its interest is the sureSt, quick
est way to make a town attractive
to a stranger. One of the best ways
in which to make a town attractive
with that sort of attraction that will
draw other people to it is for every
man and every woman to have a
pleasant word for the people and
the town generally. Talk up your
town if yon feel an interest in it,
and have its people feel an interest
in you. There is no better way to
do it. And many a time one little
word of unpleasant reference to
something that does not exactly
suit you and not particularly con-
Germ you as to that matter will turn
some mans influence away from
your town and even drive him away
AT your own Preside, talk up your
town. Among your neighbors talk
up your town. When you come in
contract with strangers, talk up
your town. Talk is the most potent
agency ever set in motion for help
ing your tOwn.-MisSouri Telegraph.

Never Alone

A boy who had been going to one
of the public schools in Buffalo left
school to 90 to work for a small
manufacturer.
The boy was dull, and his stupidi-
ty annoyed the manufacturer great
ly. After two weeks of trial the
manufacturer discharged the boy at
the end of the week on Saturday
night.
You're discharged" the manu-
facturer said. TGo and get your
pay, and let that be the last of you.
You're discharged"
On Monday morning the manu-
facturer was much surprised to see
the boy in his former place at work.
"Herep he shouted. What are
you doing in this shop? l discharg-
ed you Saturday night"
Yes" said the boy, and don't
you do it again. When l told my
mother she licked me."-Saturday

At the first meal on board the
