Four Farmer Boys' Fortunes

ErOm LeSlle $.
 Four farmer boys, named Miller, who received $700, on reaching manhood, from their frugal father. recently had fam fly reunion at Bridgeport, Conn.,, and it was found that their aggregated wealth, developed from the $700 with which they had started, had grown to the magnifi- cent total of $25.000,000. Each of these farmer boys carved out their own career. One became the head of a steamboat company the second drygoods mer- chant and manufacturer, the third also a merchant, and the fourth leading banker and financier. According to the muck-rakers, these four farmer boys have accumulated a lot of tainted money" If we are to believe the theory set forth by the yellow journals, no man has a right in his lifetime to accumu- late such a large fortune. On every side we have manifold evidence that in this country great fortunes have been honest ly made by men who came from the homes of toll and poverty. Men have sometimes been peculiarly fortunate in developing enterprises in which the natu- ral resources of the country paid tribute to their discoverers. but in most instances fortunes have been achieved because their makers had the brains skill and in tegrity that give commanding influence in the business world The greater the failure of man, the deeper his hatred of those who prosper. We have men who know nothing about the intricacies of a tariff law or the difficulties of governing a city state or nation, criticisings patriot ic men and measures and living simply to find fault. The nation is but an ag- gregate of families. Unless its people put themselves on a higher plane than that of mere self-interest, there can be no such thing as patriotism, and without patriotism liberty must die.

Some one has said-I think 1t was the Rev. Sam Jones-that Were it not for the good women of the church, not enough men would get to heaven to sing bass" This choice bit of philosophy has all the characteristics of the late la- mented Rev. Sam. It sounds just like him, but whether it fell from his lips or not is of little moment, for it is the gospel truth.
 Woman in every age has been the mainstay of the church. Her devotion and piety have kept the church alive; it will be largely through her influence that the world will be Christianized.
 Women build the churches if you don't believe it, just attend a meeting of the healthy church debt. care not if it is called board of stewards, or elders, or. deacons, or vestrymen, or what not. And let question of raising funds come up, and see if some old tight wad don't get up and say. well, we can count on at least $50 from the Ladies' Aid so- ciety." and the others will say, "Sure!'
 And this often in face of the fact that the Ladies'. Aid society has just paid the semi-annual interest on church debt that this same bunch of stewards, elders, deacons or vestrymen contracted without the knowledge or consent of the ladies whose help they now invoke. and, bless they put it up to the women, and bless their noble self-sacrifieing hearts, how quickly they respond
 Why, before the bunch of stewards, etc., aforesaid have adjourned they are at work, planning a lawn fete, or a social, or a church supper.
 Speaking of church suppers, we have all heard the so-called joke about the lone oyster in the soup, inferring that as rule the church suppers are hold-up Why. speaking from personal experience I never attended church supper in my life that I did not get full value re- ceived. In every instance the viands were abundant and toothsome. Furthermore patronize them all for I welcome the change from the cooking of the beanery where I usually dine (where lover ham two' is about the only reliable article of diet to order) to the choice and whole some home cooking that it has been my pleasure to enjoy at the church suppers I have patronized.
 The<next time you are asked to buy a ticket to a church supper, do so, and at. tend it and see if these statements are not correct.
 But some one will say it is the mer who have to foot the bills anyhow. This may be true, but it does not always mear that he is out anything. Often will the little woman forego some pleasure oi deny herself some needed convenience that she may do her part in raising the needed $50.
 Then, again, there is not man whc ever entered the ministry that cannot testify to some period when struggling against unequal odds that the women of the church have not come to his relief and strengthened his faith, and made lighter his burdens. Of course, there are times when even the women of the church are, as the poet expresses it.

have played a prominent part in building
 up the orange groves In Florida and in
 the planting of other crops in that far
 southern territory In Florida and va
 rious other states the railways make a
 very effective distribution of cold wave
 warning by sounding four long blasts
 from the engine. This whistle signal
 thus gives prompt warning to the farm CTS several miles distant from the rail- road that cold wave Is on its way | Often steamers on rivers display cold wave flags with great advantage to farm
 CTS living near the streams.
 Among the other important informa- | ton heralded by the weather bureau Is
 the cotton region bulletin, which gives
 the temperature and precipitation in the
 cotton belt during the growing season
 A similar bulletin Is issued for the corn
 and wheat belts which covers immense grain interests in the northwest
 | It Is rare for the bureau to Ego wrong" | so to speak, in its forecasts, and the
 farmers, unlike the majority of city res- idents, place great confidence in the word
 of this great and active bureau.
 l The weather warnings are particularly beneficial to the fruit growers. In regard | to the method employed to protect the | fruit one of the reports of the weather bureau says:
 | Beginning with the fall of the year fruit Is spread upon trays for sun drying
 and curing. In September In nearly all
 of the valleys of California large quanti- ties of grapes are spread upon trays and l exposed to the sun. If these should be
 rained upon they would become dirty and
 sticky, and instead of becoming high
 grade raisins they might prove only it
 for wine vats. They would most likely Toe 1f fr1r of that,r ater Ina When the weather bureau forecasts show
 CTS, laborers go at once Into the vine- yards and stack the trays one above another. The system has so developed | that the labor unions charge at the rate of 75 cents a day if the weather bureau says showers" otherwise the rate is 50 cents. In the extreme western states the fore- | casts of cold rains or snow are valuable
 to wool growers, enabling them to protect | their sheep at 1ambing time and when
 shearing is under way.
 The storm warnings which are more,
 generally for the benefit of the marine interests, are sometimes beneficial to the farmers dwelling near the coast In the
 cotton belt the announcement of the ap-
 proach of a West India hurricane, which is almost always accompanied by driv- ing rain and high winds, is beneficial
 when there is much open cotton in the fields. Frequently the planters have
 employed all their hands to pick the cot ton before the storm arrived, saved It from being blown out of the bolls and
 soiled by the rain and mud.
 | The flood warnings are said to have
 reached a wonderful degree of accuracy.
 The warnings are usually issued so far in advance of the arrival of the crest of | the flood that agricultural and other in- terests derive immense benefit from them.

The Society Girls Ideals

"What sort of a man would I marry? We'll in the first place he'd have to be successful. Not terribly rich. though, be- cause I have money of my own. Say five thousand a year and good prospects Don't care how he makes it, but he must be a good spender and have plenty of small talk. Dress? Why, of course, tho men in our set have to dress well sor the girls wouldn't look at them. As for his principles and so on, I'm not awfully straight-laced, you know What ab- solutely insist on is thot he does not get drunk in public"
 The speaker, Miss Winnie NJ, says Robert Haven Schauffler, in Success Magazine" was a popular member of the Smart Set in the large northeastern city which she called home. She was tall, slender, animated, with charming fig ure, light, curly hair and extraordinary flashing blue eyes, She was the only child of millionaire and barely 23.
 "Of course I'd like him older" she con- tinued About 15 years older would do. The elderly ones can give girl a better position, and l wouldn't mind if he were a widower-either grass or sod. I know lots and lots of divorced people. And, of course, if I didn't hit it off with my hus- band I'd not be long about getting a di- vorce.
 "Would I prefer remaining single to marrying man I didn't love?" The great eyes opened in naive astonishment. s'Why don't you know that after a few years, if girl doesn't marry, she sim ply has no position? Loves all very nice, of course, but 1t isn't really necessary for marriage. s
 "Childrenl Oh, yes. I'd want one or two, but no more. Heredity? Now what does that word mean, anyway"
 Tbo avara fncOrna demanded hV the Smart Set girl, on which to start mar ried life, Is $700O year and excellent prospects. Besides that, as rule she expects to have money of her own. T simply couldn't be happy declares a spoiled child of fortune in the middle west, without certain luxuries such as opera seats trained servants to care for me, and beautiful surroundings. I sim ply couldn't ride in the trolley cars. It may seem snobbish, but it's fact. I hate crowds. and one cannot have pri- yacy without money"
