READY FOR 1HE OCCASION MOOEL ARM ON cApE con
Mary Had Looked Ahead and Was
There With Help for Her
John Dear"

A New York business man tells
this story on himself
In the 'brave days when he was
twenty-one" his income was not
only limited, but his prospects were
discouraging. AT that time he be-
came engaged to a winsome lassie
whose affections could not be doubt
ed, but whose financial prospects
were as shadowy as his own.
One evening when his sweetheart
and himself we're strolling about
the outskirts of the city he was par
ticularly despondent and disheart-
ened.
Mary" he said, 81 don't see how
we are ever going to get married.
There doesn't seem to be any chance
for us at all. Why, all I've got in
the world is dollar and a quarter.
1 could not even pay the parson for
marrying us"
"John, DEAR" said Mary, snug
Cling a little closer, eff that's all
that's bothering you, you don't need
to worry. I've a dollar here that |
swiped out of grandmother's pocket
book when she wasn't looking, and
you can have that so as to give the
parson two dollars"
They were married then and
there.

Town OF Sandwich Conducts one for
the Benefit Of the School
Children.

The little town Of Sandwich,
down on the ankle of Cape Cod, is
teaching its boys and girls how a
community which numbers some
1,500 souls conducts a model farm
for the benefit Of its public school
children. But the children are not
the only ones who take advantage
of the opportunity to get some real
practical farm schooling right in
town, says the Spokane Spokesman
Review. Men from all parts of
Barnstable county, in which Sand
wich is located, go to the farm
school when there is room for them.
Two years ago the town came into
possession by will of a farm of about
l6O acres, large village residence,
a small greenhouse and nearly $685.
600 in cash. The conditions of the
bequest were that the village should
use the entire property for the agri-
cultural and industrial benefit Of the
region.
After consulting with the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural college, the
trustees Of the estate decided to
turn the property into a model farm
to teach practical agriculture. AL
bert W. Doolittle of Hackensack, N.
j., was selected to take charge of
the project, being a practical farmer
who had taken a college agricultural
course and specialized in horticul-
ture, pomology and poultry raising.
Small fruits and vegetables are
grown on the village farm at Sand
witch and in addition model poul-
try raising plant has been installed.
The most approved methods are fol-
lowed, but nothing is done which
would be beyond the means of any
one who desires to take up a similar
work.
Boys from the schools of Sand
wich may go to Mr.. Doolittle for in
struction in planting, pruning,
spraying and caring for fruits, the
growing of vegetables, the building
of poultry houses, operation of in
cubators and brooding and raising
of chickens.

SHE HAD HEARD THEM ALL
Wife Of Club Member Got Her knowl-
edge From the Wives Of the
Other Fellows.

A man who never could tell a
story Joined a story tellers' club
that thought it had corner on the
humor of the universe. The man
got along very well so long as he
didn't have to say anything, but
there came a time when he was put
on the program for a humorous
story and then his wife coached
him for week beforehand on one
of her own funniest stories. When
he came home from the story telling
contest she asked him how things
went. He said: "Pretty well. All
the other fellows told some mighty
good ones" Then he gave synop-
sis of the good ones the other fell
lows had told. 'Darned clever, those
chaps are" he said. 81 don't know
what they would think of me if they
knew 1 learned my story from a
woman. They don't think much Of
a woman's sense of humor."
"You needn't let that worry you,
DEAR" she said, sweetly. 81 have
heard the other fellows wives tell
their old stories at card parties for
the last five years"

YOUNGSTERS" KEPT IN PLACE
Veteran Congressman Strong on Rule
That New Members Should Not
Make Speeches.

William Pinkney, considered in
his day the greatest of American or
ators, came to the house in the full
ness Of fame, having been attorney
general of the United States and
minister to half the courts of Eu-
rope. Soon after arriving he took
the floor one day to speak on the
treaty-making power. An old mem
Der of twenty years service, voicing
the general opinion that a new MEM
Der should serve an apprenticeship
before becoming an instructor, re-
piled to him, with the reference,
"The gentleman from Maryland"
and then, pausing, as if not certain,
added, 81 believe he is from Mary
land"
Less delicate hints are sometimes
given now when a new member sets
out to instruct the house, as did a
young man of some good reputation
few years ago. A veteran gray
haired member crossed the hall, set
tied himself in a chair directly in
front of the young orator and, look
ing up into his face, said: ''Now,
give us a good one, young man.

SNAKE TOO MUCH FOR HERON.

A heron's attack on a snake was
Witnessed nea. Bettws-y-Coed,
Wales, recently. The snake was
crossing the Llugwy river when a
heron swooped down and picked it
UP and flew away with it. The
snake, however, wound itself round
the heron's neck so tightly that the
bird was forced to seek the refuge of
a high fir tree near the Swallow
Falls. After short struggle the
heron was forced to relax its hold
of the snake, which fell to the
ground.

While the anti-saIoon league has
not been making much noise the fact
seems to be that it is making progress
in this state in its fight against the
saloon. One OF the most prosperous
towns in King county is that of Kent,
situated in the White river valley.
It has a payroll of more than one mil
lion dollars annually. Kent has five
saloons. The Anti Saloon league
started out to put the saloons out of
the town and has succeeded. Last
Tuesday the voters declared in favor
of dry town which means that in
ninety days there will be no more
liquor sold at Kent. A few days be-
fore the election the mayor of Wenat-
chez made the trip to Kent Just to
tell the people how we'll mis- town GOT
along without saloons. There was a
time. the Wenatchee mayor told the
people of Kent, when Wenatchee
spent lots of money to maintain a
jail in which to house its prisoners !;
now there are no prisoners. The bus
mess blocks formerly occupied by sa-
looms are now housing substantial
business firms. The people of Kent
evidently concluded that what was
good enough for big, prosperous town
Ike Wenatchee was good enough for
Kent and they voted to wipe out the
saloons.

Seattle officials that the colonist rates
of 1909 will hold good this year be-
ginning March 1 and ending April
Is. This will mean S25 rate from
St. Paul and S33 from Chicago.
Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and other transcontinental railroad
officials admit that inquiries from
the east and middle west are very
heavy and they expect to see one of
the greatest rushes of emigrants in
the history of the Northwest These
officials state that the exposition held
last summer is largely responsible for
the coming rush of settlers. The
states of Oregon, Washington and Id
aho never received so much advertise
ing in so short a time; in addition
thousands of people took advantage
of exposition rates to visit the north
west and investigate for themselves
the stories that out here is the land
of milk and honey. They returned
home satisfied that from the farming
standpoint, as we'll as from one of
climate. the northwest could Lot be
beaten anywhere in America. They
have told their friends and their
friends have repeated the story, so
every corner of the northwest may
look for an increased population this
year.
