Advice Worth Having.

You may disregard advice, butt lis
ten to it.
Don't scorn at it, no matter who the
person is that>makes it.
Many fool has helped wise man.
Even the worst advice presents one
side Of a question.
An astute man said that he always
wanted advice, not to follow it, but to
help him to make up his mind If you
once get this idea about it you will be
much the gamer IN the battle OF life.
NO one person can, present all the
points CT view, and a person about to
take an impoI tant step should be
able to know what is all around the
horizon
Listen to everything everybody has
to say, if you have the time; if not,
always listen to anything that is pre-
scented strongly, whether or not it
agrees with your opinion.
And above all things never .scof at
the criticism, with it's implied advice,
of an enemy. There you get your
weakest points exposed. If you are
wise you will be thankful for, the OPP
portunlty to strengthen them.

on rural estates merely to crafty u

however, who have made millions on
the farm. 1t is not such an easy thing
to do, but the success of these men
shows some of the possibilities that
the farm holds for the man who de

Probably the most notable OF TIE
men who have made fortunes ON The.
farm is David Rankin. When David
Rankin was married he handed the
preacher his last five dollar bill with
the remark that now he could start
square with the world. He bought
land on time and borrowed money TO
buy cattle. His first purchases were
in Illinois, Later he removed to Mis-
souri,, attracted by the cheap prairie
land that needed only a little drainage
to make it yield abundantly Today
David Rankin owns nearly 10000 acres
of this same Missouri land. and it

living on forty acres of land. His
average net income is $500 a year. He
has very comfortable house. To rent
such house in the city and live as
we'll there as he and his family do on
the farm would cost him $500 a
year. Considered in that light. his lit
tie farm is really paying him salary
of $500 a year.
In the east the greatest opportunities
are in truck farming. Only a few
acres are required. and the returns are
large. A certain truck farmer in the
vicinity of Boston is making a small
fortune on fen acres of ground He

the sausage and beer. "Is not the life
more than meat?" 1t would not seem
so; not much more, at any rate. At
least it is difficult to raise life above
that level.
Such is the condition we are set to
fight. Not in the interest of asceti-
cism, but of manhood; with a gener-
GUS thought for every creature COM
fort, but with supreme concern for
character, we may need to ask our
selves more frequently, Us not the

how much more? Life without a
definite port at the end; life unthrill-
ed and unfed by the Father; life un-
sanctified, however sleek, is the sor-
riest failure.

Time was when a transatlantic trip
made the event of lifetime. People
prepared for it with all but fasting and
went up the gangplank his friends had
good reason to fear and his enemies

Travellers count their voyages as a
commercial man might reckon his
trips to Boston. Ones chief anxiety
nowadays is concerning the size and
location of his stateroom and the ex-

ellers wake in the morning with a
sort of wonder at being alive so far
from shore, but rather specializing as
to whether the coffee will be better
than yesterdays.
Nevertheless the voyage itself is
the real Thug. What matters any
thing or everything else as compared
with the safety of the voyage? Who
cared afterward that the salon was
luxurious and the cuisine unexcelled
when the Inflated Bourgogne lurched
to her frightful doom? It needed only
the jar and shudder of steel to declare
that the voyage itself is the real thing.
Nothing really counts as against that.
The stewards may gather the tips, but
the crew deserve them.
So in life. the voyage ought to be
the paramount concern. The real
business of manhood and womanhood
is to make port at length. Yet what

JOAN OF ARCS PRISON
Foundation of Ancient Tower Dug
Out in Convent Grounds at
Rouen.

The prison of Joan of Arc has been
located near Rouen. The foundations
of the ancient tower in which it was
have been discovered and opened up
through some new construction work
undertaken by the government in the
grounds of the Ursuline Convent, from
which the nuns have recently been ex-
PEELED.
The workmen in digging for the
new foundations came upon a massive
wall enclosing a circular space with a
diameter of about 80 feet When this
was cleared of earth well was found
in the center measuring feet across
and about 80 feet in depth Water
rose III II clear and cold as soon as the
earth had been cleared away from the
bottom
When the antiquarians got busy
they identified the wall as the founda-
ton of building which was known
for ages as The Maids Tower" A
document dating back to 1641 was pro-
uuced, which, taking it for granted
the Maid of Orleans 210 years pre-
viously, gave a description and meas
Urements of it, including the well,

The structure appears to have stood
unchanged from the death of Joan in
1431 to 1890, whe nit was reduced to
ruins in the course of a siege In 1863
she city leased the site on which the
ruin stood to Louis Mouchard.
In 1880 he appears to have stopped
paying the rent. The greater part OF
the ruin was cleared away about this
time, but as late as 1889 visitor writ
ing about the place mentions the foun-
dation of the tower as visible and
speaks of the we'll. After that it was
filled in with earth and later the site
became part of the nuns garden and
the existence of the ruin and the ira
dition attaching to 1t were forgotten.
