How Reading Pays.

BY reading what other men have
done, and are doing, believe that
any thoughtful man can add at least
$500 a year to his income more than
he could without the reading The
discoveries Of scientists that are
helpful to the farmer can only be
learned by reading about what they
have done, and how their discover
les can be applied in practice the
farm press tells US. And yet. there
are thousands struggling with poor
] nd. and not knowing how to better
it, who will not read and learn. The
great problem with those who would
help these men is how to get at them
and induce them to learn. some
times think that the only way we
will ever get reading farm popula-
ton is to raise it through the rural
schools and the colleges of agricul-
ture working together, and thus to
finally replace the non-reading men
with reading people. w. F. Mas

Survival Of the Fittest.

The world is full Of men who can
drudge day after day. if their work
is just laid out for them, and doesn't
require any new knowledge or any
special thought. There are a good
many others whose minds are as fer
tile in propagating plans and schemes
as an alluvial valley is in wheat or
corn. But they have no application.
Their ideas come and go like soap
bubbles, and never do anyone a bit
OF gcoi. Once in a while there is a
man who can work. steadily and sys- :
.ematically. every day. and still use
his brain. who can evolve plans and
execute them. He is the man who
under any social system that can be
devised is going to reap the big re-
wards. The other two types don't
receive them simply because, though
no fault of their own, they don't
earn them. Arthur Aull.

FIRE DESTROYS TWO HOUSES
Thought to Have Been Started By Boys
Playing In One.

The house on the Southwest corner
of Hamilton avenue and Refine street.
and one adjoining, were destroyed
by fire about s o. clock Saturday night,
The corner house, in which the fire
started, was owned by M. S. Bates,
and had been occupied up to Satur-
day morning by Mrs. Julia Tucker
She moved during the day into the
second house, which was owned by
L. M. Wimberly.
The cause of the fire is not known,
but it is thought that it may have
been accidentally started by some
boys who were playing in the house
and on the porch earlier in the even
ing. Only the hard work done by H.
M. Frederick and other neiehbors
saved his house and the Sam Osborn
house from burning. The Osborn
house caught fire on the roof once.
and the intense heat broke the glass
in the front door of the Frederick
house.
All of Mrs. fuckers household
goods were saved. The Bates house
Of six rooms was valued at about
$1,000 and was partially insured.
There was no insurance on Wimber-
|Iy's house of three rooms, which was
valued at $400.
The fire department assisted in
saving the surrounding property. but
could not use the waterworks. as the
nearest fire plug was about six blocks
away.
