Time for Thought.

It doesn't pay to be too busy Un- less man has some time to think in a natural way about things in gener- al he loses a great measure of men, tai growth. It is well to be active-a wholesome thing for every faculty of the mind. But as trees and flowers need both periods of rain and periods of sunshine, so men need to be some times busy and sometimes able to stcip and think. says Keystone, the ieweler's trade paper. Quiet thought is refreshing to the busy man. A great many men, in business do not at all appreciate the fact-however it may seens. They drive themselves or let themselves be driven by their work all day long. day in and day out, year in and year out. What time they have away from their work is often spent in an endless round of social and pleasurable activ' ities, leaving practically no half hour without it's impending purpose, no time to stop aud think and set their minds in order,- no time to reflect or to let the mind act from impulses other than the worldly purpose with which it is being driven continuously. Such mans mind gets into whirl. revolving in a very small orbit and making him oblivious to greater themes that lie wholly outside of the limited circle of his strenuous activ ity

Stories Delight Children

Every mother as we'll as teacher s,loald cultivate the art of telling stories to children. It can be culti- vated. It is not always a gift. Prac- tice on the children near you, your own and your neighbours.
 Learn to tell one story well. Chil- dren are not critical, and moreover. they like to hear the same thing a number of times. After you mako 2 beginning it is easy to go on. Learn to tell several stories. Familiarize yourself with those in the Bible, of Moses, Joseph, David and Daniel. Lit- tie folks never tire of them.
 Read children's magazines and pe- ssodicals. Look in old readers and pa A5, and make your own, every good, helpful story you find. One will im- press upon your child the sin of lying as perhaps your advice would not. An. other Viii teach the beauty of temper ance, of kindness, of peace making or of honesty.
 Every mother who reads them will realize the value to children of the series of stories in the Mothers Maga- zine, "A Little Boy in Big WoI :" They teach truth, nature study. kind ness to animals, and everything that fosters in the child love for things right and good
 Never tell child things that fright en him. Fill the busy thought with what is joyous, happy and good. Inn press truths for character buildingr and learn to tell stories not only for the children's pleasure, but for their good Progressive Teacher.

Big Thing Contract.

Chokio Review &C. L Penny. who
left for Shell Lake, Wis, informed
US that he had already put in 20 miles
and 70 rods of tiling on the O'Brien
farm adjoining this town. 1t required
40 cars to carry the tile here from the
factory and the expense for labor
alone was close to SIS, 900. There is
yet 1000 rods to be tiled and Mr..
Penny and his crew will be back in
the spring to complete the job on that
farm Of $40 acres which will be the
most perfectly tile drained farm in
this part of the state. The big dredge
ditch that runs thru the farm makes
an outlet for the tile which will reach
every acre Of the land and quickly
carry off any surplus water. The
O'Brien Land Company, owners of
the place are sparing no expense in
making that model farm and when
the tiling is completed. with the spa
cious new residence, large barns and a
complete set Of outbuildings now on the
place. we believe it will be the most
valuable piece of land in western
Minnesota.

WAREHOUSE BURNED.
Property of Stone & Munro
Nearly Destroyed by Fire.

Shortly after noon on Monday fire
broke out in the engine room of Stone
& Munro warehouse. Only few
moments before the fire was discover
ed Mr.. Stone had been in the engine
room and everything was all right so
the cause of the fire is not exactly
known. AS thvre was a fire in the
stove in the engine room it is thought
it started from a spark from it.
The fire company lost considerable
time in making the run on account of
a part of the harness breaking and a
breeze from the south swept the
smoke and flames thru the building
so that before the water was turned
on the flames had reached the roof
and cloud of smoke hampered the
firemen. For this reason it looked
as tho adjoining property was in dang
er and the automobiles were removed
from the garage. The firemen proved
equal to the task and with four
streams of water got the fire under
control after hard fight.
The building and contents were
we'll insured. there beirg 5000 in
surance on the building and $4,000
on the stock. The loss on the build.
ing is nearly total. and the loss on
the contents was considerable.

What is Your Capital?

Preliminary figures from the census
shows the average investment in each
Minnesota farm to be $11, 1856, says
Thomas Cooper ofNthe state agricul-
tural college. In the southern part of
the state they run from $4,000 to
$25, 900. On many farms much of
this is in unproductive forms, as too
large barns, machinery little used or
improperly cared for or perhaps there
is too much land for the care possible
to be put to it.
Merchants are beginning to sell
goods before thu annual stock taking.
Farmers should also see if they have
made six precent on their investment
in addition to wages. If they haven t
they should see how they can do better
next year. --
