In looking over the published rec
 ords of a family of some historic i'm.
 portance, which dates back to pre-
 revolutionary times, gentleman
 found that the year of the date oi
 his birth, as well as the birth-dates
 of all his brothers and sisters, hao
 been erased by an elder sister whose sensitiveness upon that point had long been . subject of family jest. Ones age is something for which one is not responsible, and it Is the last thing that one should be ashamed of. In the lives of the best there is enough for regret, for chagrin and mortifi cation; but shame should be felt only for mistakes and offenses which could literalist. The procession of the sea sons cannot be checked. It is futile to turn back the hands of the clock We may look with charity upon a per. son in search of employment in this day when to have passed the half cen. tury mark seems to be an insuperabIe bar to entrance into any useful occu. patton, for attempting to put up more youthful front; but concealment of ones age from motives of mere vanity is intolerable to any just sense of propriety. If lady can be beauti. ful and charming in spite of her years. that is to her honor If a man can defy Time to abate his vigor, it is vastly to his credit. The fact speaks of temperate and virtuous and we'll spent life. Macbeth, when his way of life had fallen into the sere and vel low leaf, reflected despairingly that he must not look to have that which should accompany old age, "as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends" For such miscreants old age cannot fail tc be horror; but for one who can face the end of his earthly pilgrimage as one who is about to lie down to pleas. ant dreams, the years are luminous and golden. Each added one is a crown of glory upon the silver brow Experience, wisdom, spiritual under. standing, turk beneath the lines of care and the bruises of conflict. Such an old age is at once a joy and benefi cence.

FIRST WATCH AND CLOCK.

Working of Earliest Alarm Clock
 When Second Hands Were Added.
 Since celebrations are the order of the day why did we not observe the sixth centenary of the introduction of clocks? It was, we are told, in 1908 that the first clock known to the world was placed in the tower of San Eus. torgio, in Milan, the London Globe says.
 The. greatest astonishment and ad- miration were manifested by crowds who came to see the timepiece In 1S44 clock was installed in the pal ace of the nobles at Padua. This was a wonder of mechanism, indeed, for besides indicating the hours it showed the course of the sun, the revolutions of the planets, the various phases of the moon, the months and the fetes Of the year.
 The period of the evolution from the clock to the watch was seventy one years, not so very long, all things considered, and the record of the first watch is 1880. A half century later ~A- aAe~A HI NAONh AlS This, we are told, was looked upon by the people of that age as ''un in- strument prodigieux."
 The fortunate possessor of this clock was Andrea Alciato, a councillor of Milan. The chroniclers have placed on record that this clock sounded a bell at stated hour, and at the same time little wax candle was lighted automatically. How this was done we are not told, but it must not be over looked that until about seventy years ago we had no means of obtaining a light other than the tinderbox, so that the Milanese must have been centuries ahead of us in this respect.
 Not much progress was made with the watch until 174O, when the seconJ hand was added.

Everybody who had known old Hen ry admired him for the charity of his tongue when he spoke of his neigh bors. It was his most marked char acteristic-except the independence which he manifested in his political affiliations. It made young man who was visiting in the neighborhood curi- ous, and one day he managed to lead up to the subject and ask the old man what had taught him to keep such good watch on his tongue.
 Tt was my father" replied the old man, quietly. "A splendid man, as I remember him. He always disliked

A Rude LnndIubber.

It is said that every mans defini- ticn of the term gentleman" makes 1t inclusive of himself Likewise it is true that each man is prone to believe that his manners are the best in the world. A writer in the Washington Star, speaking of this point, relates the following story. On a man-of-war there was once a reception, and it happened that a distinguished states man forgot, or did not know, the usu- al formal salute on coming aboard.
 Who's that lubber what don't tip his sNypiece to the sklpper?" said a sailor.
 Choke your luff." returned another sailor. That's Senator Blank. the sa- nous tariff leader"
 Well" growled the first sailor, why ain't he got manners enough lc salute tine quarter-deck?
 'lanners!" a third sailor chipped in. What does he know about man. ners? I don't suppose he was ever out of sight of land in his life"

Dakota Farmer from Down East" Learned How to Raise Wheat
 at Critical Time.
CROPS. WERE ALL BURNED UP.
Discovered the Efficacy of the Roller and Revolutionized Agricul-
 tural Methods.

Twenty-Five years ago, during the dark days" of the west, when every crop failed and thousands of settlers were returning back east" a discour- aged farmer in South Dakota, looking over his ruined field for the last time before trekking back to Vermont, no ticed that in the tracks made by his old lame mule, where the soil was packed by the weight of the animal, the wheat had grown strong and tall.
 AS a result of this observation South Dakota now harvests one of the larg- est wheat crops of any state in the union, and is filled with prosperous farmers, while the erstwhile discour- aged farmer himself, H. w. Campbell, is owner of five big wheat farms az gregating 5000 acres, which produce an average of sixty bushels an acre, says a Lincoln (Neb.) correspondent of the New York Herald. He is known as the Bonanza Farmer" of the west. And all because a lame mule tramped across his wheat field one day.
 The good stalks of grain growing in the mule tracks and surrounded by puny stems set Campbell to thinking.
The Holbrook news., 1910-04-22

From it he evolved a new system of farming. His neighbors laughed at him and remained poor, while Camp bell grew wealthy. When he wanted new tools with which to farm accord ing to his new ideas. the farm imple- ment manufacturers made light of his ideas. Campbell made his own tools, and today they are being manufac- tured in Odessa, Arad, Hungard, Hyderabad and half a dozen cities in the United States.
 He wanted to tell the western farm CTS what he had discovered, so he turned editor and has had the satis- faction of seeing his articles repro duced in a dozen different languages. One of these, an article on soil value, was translated into Russian by Tschai- kowsky, the Russian political writer, while he was a prisoner in the fortress of Peter and Paul at St. Petersburg.
 E. H. Hartman, as he once passed through the great wheat country of the west, held out his hand to Mir. Camp bell, who was in the railroad mans private car, and said:
 If the Union Pacific gave you ST. GOO GOO every year it could not pay you for it's increased freight from your work
 Mir. Campbell now lives in Lincoln, Ieb., where he maintains a force of clerks to keep the accounts of his big tarms and his other interests. And just twenty-five years ago this summer he had nothing but an OK and an old lame mule.
 When he walked out to look once more at his burned field, he noticed small punches of good wheat His cu- riosity was aroused. He examined carefully and found that these punches were growing in the tracks of the old mule.
 What did it?" and finally the an- swer came to him.
 Tt was the packing of the earth by the weight of the mule?"
 The next year, when MT. Campbell sowed his wheat, he rolled it with homemade roller for days and days. His neighbors laughed at him.
 When the wheat sprouted every ker- nel came up, and so did that planted by his neighbors, who again laughed at the fool Vermont machinist who thinks he knows how to farm"
 Then came the long hot days and the neighbors' wheat dried up and burned. But MT. Campbell's didn't His fields were green, and in the time of harvest 1t was found that he had raised the big

to hear folks gossiping unkindly about each other. I've seen him, when they began it, get on his feet, just like a COW grazing and gradually working toward hole in the fence, and be- fore any one knew it he'd be out of the room, sos he couldn't hear 'em
 He talked to me about it. Henry, he'd say, when you're of age, never say anything about man if you can't say good of him, and always vote the straight party ticket"
 But you don't vote that way"
 Well, sir" said Henry, you see, my father said the straight party tick ct; and when came along to vote. the pesl1y thing had got so crooked that I don't believe he'd have recog- niZed it"

After the experience of recent years, which everybody has noted and has personally felt in increased expense, one does not readily agree with this statement of the New York Journal of Commerce.: Suppression of compe- tition to put up prices generally will tend to restrict consumption and in jure the very trade which it is in- tended to benefit" A notable case of the contrary result is evidenced by the meat trust, which has restricted trade. has advanced prices and is according to the showing made by the Armours to the New York Stock Ex- change-making about 35 per cent on its capital.

OIdest EnRIish surname.

The name of Smith is, according to Professor Mahaffy, the oldest English surname. In a list of names he dis covered when Investigating the Petrie papyri, there is one, he tells us, which appears regularly in the same form, and of which we can give no further explanation. It is the name Smith-unmistakab written. We have never found anything like it be- fore, and it is surely worth telling che many distinguished bearers of the name that there was man known IS Smith in the twentieth year of the third Ptolemy, 227 B. ,C..sand that ne ing it''

gest crop that country ever saw 2, r1is theory had been proved, and the next year every farmer in that country packed his wheat ground down at the bottom of the furrow.
 That was the start. To-day MT. Campbell owns and operates 1000 acres in North Dakota, GAO acres in Midland County, Texas; 320 acres near Plain view, Texas; 32O at Holdredge, Neb. |; GAO acres at Medicine Hat, Alberta, and a section in. South Dakota.

The construction of the geeat mu- nicipal building which New York is to erect at a cost of seven million dol lars has begun, and in two years t ought to be ready for occupancy. This extraordinary structure is to be twenty-three stories in height, with a pillared tower rising still farther in the air. Chambers street passes di- rectly beneath it, as footways from Bread and Market streets pass under the Philadelphia City Hall, and as Mount Vernon street passes under the state house in Boston. The lower floors are to serve as a subway ter minal, but there is room enough in the floors above to accommodate for many years to come all the city de partments not elsewhere housed. The old city hall, in City Hall Park, built over a century ago, is not to be torn down. Its architectural beauty and historic associations have saved it from that fate, and the mayor and board of aldermen will still have their quarters there.
