SWEET LIFE
Written for the Farmer by
 Cora Hartman.

It is so sweet to be alive, To walk among your fellow men, To breathe again the clear pure air, To note the morn, the evening star, To be within the human kin. It is so sweet to be alive. None so poor but have their share Of life's riches. Why! Iris free A true friends greeting, a beloved
 child's glee. The curve of babys cheek, a pass
 ing face, strangely fair. It is so sweet to be alive The exquisite pain of music, the sigh Of the violin. ..s The rapture of rich color's glow, The sunshine of pictures. the passing
 show The bright shops windows, the de-
 lights within. IT is so sweet to be alive. The tWtning of the Christmas wreaths, The scarlet holly and the mistletoe, The beaming faces around the fire
 lights glow. The remembered birds welcome sheaf. It lis so sweet to be alive. One, needs not riches, to give happy
 surprise Give little of yourself, your thought
 and care. ''The gift without the giver is bare' The blaze of diamonds pale before
 loving eyes,

 Is Christmas happiness or Christi mas hardship to lead this year? As the holidays come around year after year, there is a growing realization that the Christmas happiness in one mans home is the Christmas hardship in many another home. Christmas shopping is quite generally left until the last week, often until the last day before Christmas. What this means to the clerks behind the counters, the cash girls running back and forth with heavy parcels, to the drivers and "tail boys'' on the delivery carts, to the packers and shippers, express messengers and behind these the great army. of women and girls who manu- fracture toys and candies and knick- knacks in factories and shops and sweat shops, is little realized by those who gather around the glittering Christmas trees.
 For over half decade now the Mer- chants association of Cleveland has conducted successful campaign for pushing back holiday shopping into November and early December Pos- ters in street cars and on bill boards and. the widest newspaper and maga- zine publicity have accomplished much. The benefit is really on both sides. For the Christmas shopper has better opportunity and wider selection in early shopping, while the difference to the clerk is most marked when it is realized that the great majority of those involved in the rush to supply the Christmas cheer are women and children in the poorly paid positions.
 The Merchants of Boston Washing ton, Pittsburgh. Philadelphia and New York. either. through their associa- tions or by unusual unanimity of in- dividual actions, are following the ex- ample set by the Merchants associa- tion of Cleveland In fact the shop early'' gospel has spread to cities small and large throughout the land.
 For six years now the Charities Publication committee acting for the National Consumers League has wag- ed a campaign for early Christmas shopping. For this purpose, letter has been sent out over the signatures of leading department store men and editors to over 1000 department stores throughout the whole country, to newspapers in nearly 400 cities where these department stores are urging early shopping-early in the month and early in the day-and to ministers in every state, who have been asked to bring the matter strongly to the attention of all in theirA congrega- tions. The newspapers and magazines are asked to give the campaign the partment stores are asked to publish tisements from now until Dec. p.

The newspaper is by far the best

RAISING LITTLE deer
TAKEN UP IN TEXAS
New Species Imported for
The Purpose

san Antonio, Tex, Feb. 11.-Ten
pair of the "Muntjac" deer Of India
have been imported to Texas by Lee
Mountfort, of Robstown, Nueces coun-
ty, and ne will attempt to acclima;e
them to this state with view of breed
ing them for commercial purposes.
These animals are beautiful little
creatures, about q to % inches in
height They have small horns but
are not large enough to be combative
or dangerous The animals are similar
to sheep in their feeding habits. de-
vouring almost any kind of herbaga
The meat from the "Muntjac" is Of
delicious flavor.
Mr.. Moutfort has been a breeder Of
fine animals for several years. He de-
sires an animal which a family can
kill and eat at a meal or two.
The deer imported by Mr.. Mountfort
are the first to be brought to the Unit
ed States. They thrive on plants which
very few animals, except goats and
sheep, can eat For that reason it is
believed they will be an economical an-
imal, we'll adapted to conditions IN
Southwest Texas They also can go
long periods without water.
IF the Muntjac' thrives,' said Mr..
Mountfort, "and there is every indica-
ton they will, it means the farmer will
have an animal which can be bred very
cheaply, and which will provide him
with fresh meat every two or three
days just as he now depends upon
chicken and other fowls.
Il know breeder in central Texas
who has been raising the Virginia o.
Whitehall deer for the last four or
five years. The yenison finds ready
sale and the hides bring a high price
Buffalo and the COMMON deer are be-
ing raised in many places for profit.
By intelligent breeding there is 10
reason why any of the game animals
should disappear and many of a val
liable nature could be imported"
For many years Col. Charles Good
night of the famous Goodnight ranch
has made large profit from breeding
the Buffalo and the "cattalo," q cross
between a COW and buffalo. He has
now begun to ship the cattalo to mar
ket. The cattalo sold in Fort Worth
dressed more beef and tallow than
any other COW ever slaughtered there.
San Antonio has a park of 700
acres in which there are a large num-
Der Of deer, buffalo, elk and antelope
These animals multiply SO rapidly in
captivity that every spring the city
sells a large number to parks over the
country Several breed ars are taking
up the raising of game animals for
profit, ard in every case are meeting
with success.

TRIUMPH FOR GUITRY
Paul Bourgeois lie Tribun'
Great Success in Paris.

Paris. March 1J.-"Le Tribun." a three
act drama by Paul Bourget. produced
with great success tonight al the Vaude-
willie Theatre. is a powerful dramatic
demonstration Of the theory of philoso-
ply formulated by Auguste Comte. and
also by Balzac that the social unit Is
the family. not the individual.
This is contrary TO the principles of the
French Revolution of "the rights OF
man. and Of the whole trend of Radi-
cal-Socialist legislation attacking mar
rage inheritance. paternal authority ana

The leading part in lie Tribun'' su-
perbly played by Lucien Guitry. is tnat

Of the Juares type. who has become
Prime Minister and is about to put into
practice his socialist theories Of union,
liberty and pure collectivism He has
discovered that half of the conservative
Republican Deputies. who are his politi-
cal enemies, have been bribed as was
the case during the Panama scandals.
and this will insure the triumph Of his
socialist party.
But decisive proof Of this corruption
is wanting because Portals own son.
Georges. who Is his chief OF cabinet.
has sold TO his fathers political enemies.

incriminate them.
The young man needs this sum 10 save
