AMBITION

1 People who know real life have fairly good acquaintance with the hen.
 Ihls, ot course, excludes big city people. Big city people live in stone and brick and steel caves, and run loose in deep canyons called streets They do not know real life or the hen.
 But other peope-peopIe who live in the open World-are on quite intimate terms with her majesty.
 We know that she is domestic and frugal and lndustllous. We know that without belonging to the unon she refuses to work more than a set number of hours day-the length of her workday varying with the seasons and the weather, which is meet and proper
 For instance, in winter, when it is cold and blustery and the days are short, she works a short day. In the summer, when the days are long and the weather is generally beautiful. she works long day
 She is up with the sun, and retires with the sum-
 She cackles and strives for food.
 She raises children tor chickens). and scolds and cuddles them until they are biz enouob and old enough and sensible enough to take care of themselves she lets them shift for themselves.
 lhe hen IS born, grows to maturity, works eats, sleeps-and dies.
 Let s think over a serious subjec ct-which we have been discussing in frivolous language
 You have an ambition? Yes sir!
 You are intelligent? Yes sir!
 You are Christian! Yes sir-usualv
 You are free American citizen? Les. sir
 You went to school you go to church. you vote. you read, you talk, you think, you are a MAN, WOMAN
 But have you real ambition?
 And how much higher is your ambition than the hens?
 You-if you are a man-see pretty attrao tive girl, and you marry her-if she will have you. The rooster "makes eyes" at the hen.
 You educate your children. So does the hen educate her children-to scratch in the oardon

SAYINGS OF SAGES

Fielding: Much may be said on both sides.
 Tennyson: Keep a clean hearth and a clear fire for me.
 Shakespeare: Some rise by sin and some by virtue fall
 J. Q. Adams: The heart will break, yet broken, live on
 Benjamin Franklin: God helps them that helps themselves.
 B. R. HaydOn, Invention is totally indepen- dent of the will.
 Young: How swift the shuttes fly that weaves thy shroud!
 Johnson Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless.
 Lincoln: No man knows so we'll where the shoe pinches as he who wears it.
 A. Bronson Alcott: Where there is a mother in the house matters speed well.
 Plautus: The bell never rings of itself; un- less some one handles or moves it, it is dumb.
 Lucretius: We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.

and hide nests where woodchucks can't find them.
 You discuss public questions; the hen cackles.
 Like you, she is especially boastfuI when she lays an egg-whch accomplishment may well be compared to little achievements of your own which you egotisticaIly consider the most won derful.
 You work hard and spend your money for fine clothes. The hen (and the rooster) are quite vain about their glorious pumage.
 The rooster struts, but cuts a figure less ridic- ulous than some politicians when they strut for your benefit just before election time
 It's an honest fact that we are not so very far advanced over her majesty the hen.
 Few of Us have all her fine qualities; all of us have vicious predilections with which the hen is not cursed.

THE NATIONAL DISEASE

The secretary of agriculture announces that our greatest need is more farms, more farmers and more intelligent farming.
 What with reclamation and deserton of farms it would appear that we are to have the farms.
 Between March 31, 1909, and March 1, 1910, ! l2,0O0 American agriculturists, numbering with their families S000O people, quit the United States for Canada. In thirteen years up to March 31, 1910, 425, ,460 United States citizens settled in Canada. Most of these were farmers and their families and it is estimated that they took with them something like $5OO,OOOO0O in cash and other property.
 President W. c. Brown of the New York Cen tra railroad says:
 So many farmers sons have deserted their homes up York state to make their fortunes in the city that 300000 acres of the best farm land in the country has been allowed to go vir- tually to waste and it has come to the point where the only way we see to reclaim it is to bring in immigrant farmers from Europe to buy and work the land
 ''The situation is shameful Hundreds and hundreds of farmers lads-heirs to the best land ever saw-have deliberately left it under the mistaken idea that they can make more as clerks and draught boys in the city,
 And their parents, lacking heirs to the farms, have either leased their acres to careless renters or have left them altogether, until the sight of abandoned misused, wasted and tum- ble-down farm lands through central, northern and western New York is pathetic enough for tears
 Do you know that you can go up into central New York today and buy 100000 acres of farm land at less than $20 an acre, including farm houses, barns, implements and even stock? Isn t that pitifu situation? And you can buy 3OO- OO0 acres more at less than $40 an acre.
 "H Heaven knows if We could get back the farmers boys it would be splendid way of re- deemlng these lands. But the boys apparently won't go back and so we're going to discuss the plan of importing desirable Europeans. It is probable that such immigrants can buy all the farm lands they want upstate with starting capital of $500
 ''Well have to aid them bit. perhaps but wei be glad to do that if they'll go about hon. estly reclaiming the land'
 What Mir. Brown says of our greatest state is relatively true of almost every state east of the Rockies
