Abandoned Farms.

There are two sides to every ques-
ton. Dean Bailey of the College of
Agriculture of Cornell presented the
other side of much discussed matter
when he talked to the fruitgrowers Of
the state a Sodus on Friday on the
subject of abandoned farms. 1t is Oft
en- declared that there is great loss Of
potential wealth in the abandoned
farms. But Prof. Bailey says that
much sentiment has been wasted on
so-called abandoned farms; that farm
ing has been suspended on some lands
for good economic reasons. and that
farming will not begin again upon
them until conditions demand it. All
this is true of course. Buying an
a bandoned farm does not always open
the road to prosperity for the buyer.
The new owner may find conditions
such that he cannot get along any
better than the old owner who left the
place. There is gold in sea water. but
no profitable way has been found to
extract it. There is land living 1un-
used in abandoned farms-though the
state agricultural department showed
not long ago that there are fewer
farms of this kind than the average
person supposes.-BuffaIo Express.

HEAD OF INeLEsIDE SCHOOL.
Mrs. William .. Black Dies Suddenly
While Travelling in Europe.

Word was received in Ansonia Sat
urday of the sudden death in Europe
of Mrs William d. Black of New
Milford, head of Ingleside school, a
fashionable boarding school for young
ladies located in that town. Quite a
number of young women from these
associated communities are graduates
of this school, and the news of Mrs.
Blacks death came as a great shock
to them. Letters received from her
only a few days ago stated that she
was in the best of health, so that her
demise must have been very sudden.
1t is presumed that Mrs. Black died
in France, as the itinerary of her Eu-
ropean visit would have brought her
into that country about this time. Mrs.
Black was accompanied abroad by her
adopted daughter, Miss Marion Gay
lord.
Mrs. Black was very wealthy and
had A large number Of persons in her
employ. Ingleside school is one of the
best known preparatory institutions
for young women in the state. Mrs
Black was seventy years of age and

the diverting of $1,000,0O0 or more

Sentiment.

1t is proba bly, true that when human
affairs were started on this globe a
principle of justice, truth and love was
attached to them for their governn en-
We sometimes fear that principle has
lost its way and that the affairs are
getting along without it. But that is
because we have lost faith: we thiIlk
that vanity, illwill and selfishness have
crept in and throttled the noble truth
and kicked it aside That is pessimism
which holds that the world was made
for the bad, and that the triumph Of
the right is not to be dreamed of. That
is the doctrine of despair and too many
people are afflicted with it.
1t is all wrong. Hope, faith and pa
tience constitute the true rule of life
These are the basis of endeavor ami
right living. They hold man true
and adorn experience. Principle Will
work out its own and be faithful to
the man who is faithful to it, II al
ways happens SO. 1t may seem differ
ent at times. but it is only seeming
Good is never the fruit of wrong, but
is always the fruit of good.-Ohio State
