A COOD PHILOSOPHY.

Let us not care too much for what hap
pens Let us not leave our peace of mind
at the mercy Of events.-C, G. Ames.
l like that philosophy.
1t smacks of certain audacity, and
yet 1t satisfies.
Whatever happens, happens. If you
tried to prevent it you did your best.
Let 1t happen. 1t is too late to mourn.
/ do not care how healthy or pros
porous or fortunate you may be,
things viii happen to make you mis-
erable-if you will let them.
The happiest man l ever knew had
the Ames philosophy.
He believed in God and loved boys.
He was a big brother to all of US. No
gang was complete without him. And
when something happened to prevent
nutting expedition or fishing or what
not he would say:
"WelI, let's do something else"
"But, Uncle John. the day is spoiled"
Whereat he would laugh his boyish
Iaugh-he was over sixty-and reply.
EVERY day Is good for something"
He never cared too much about
what happened, and his peace of mind
did not depend upon events. One
saying in especial well remember:
Don't cry over spilled milk Go
| and get some more. There's plenty
of milk"
Looking back to those days, when
our boyish feet joyously brushed the
| dew from the meadows of asphodel,
/ can see that his life had many hap
penings that might have spoiled it.
yet l never saw him in any but a
cheerful mood
He felt that happenings, however
grievous. must in the end be endured
! Therefore why should he spoil his
peace of mind?
Rare serenity!
When | see men and women fret
and fidget and chafe and shorten theii
lives because of that which must needs
happen / think of Uncle Ben.
Men and women die daily for wan
of his bit of philosophy.
Because none of us ever reaches his
ideal. All of us are disappointed
Despite our best laid plans. grievou'
things will happen.
Shall we therefore be the plaything'
of fate? Shall we, because Of events
we cannot stay. spoil our lives?
Let us not care too much for wha
happens.
If it happens, let it.

canfusinn Of the Senses.

If you want to see how curiously

picture show where they supplement
the films with synehronous noises,
where stage hands make the sea roar
and whistle for the approaching loco
motive. Watch the pictures and you
will wonder how the assistants make
such adequate and suitable sounds to
go with the scene. Then shut your
eyes and try to figure out what the
noises you hear mean. You are sure
you hear the washing of waves, and
when you open your eyes you see that
1t was the wind that you heard. Close
your eyes again and more than likely
what you thought was intended for
train of cars turns out to be an auto
mobile. The experiment holds good
with a ventriloquist, the moving
mouths of his puppets doing the heavy
part in creating the illusion. A ven

EDWIN A. ABBEY.

'He did his best
There could scarcely be a better cpl
taph than that to write over the tomb
of the late Edwin A. Abbey, American
artist.
Nothing less than his best was good
enough for Mr.. Abbey.
When he was struggling illustrator
for Harper's, quarter of a century
ago, it was said of him that he could
have made twice his wages had he
been content to do less than the best
that was in him.
He lived up to his ideals.
Abbey's favorite work was his IL
Illustrated Shakespeare. In these paint
ings he worked from models exclusive
". Further, in his desire for abso-
Lutte accuracy he bought the costumes
and furniture, of the Shakespearean
period and posed his models under the
best possible surroundings.
Always it was his fixed determlna-
ton to do his best.
Abbey painted many pictures only to
destroy them. They seemed to be
good. He easily might have sold them.
But they did not satisfy his artistic
sense.
| Loves labor lost, you say.
Abbey did not think so. He felt that
picture which fell below the stand
ard set up by it's maker did not de-
serve to live.
Abbey succeeded.
| He did not become a great painter
! like Michelangelo or Da Vinci or Mil
let, but his work will live, and his
death at sixty was a distinct loss to
| the world of art.
Hard work and high ideals could not
make him Il Raphael but 1t made him
an Abbey-a successful, admired and
happy man.
And you2
Hard work may not make you great,
but it will make you successful and
comfortable and, if along right lines,
! influential.
The example of Edwin A. Abbey is
of more encouragement to the strug
Cling youth than is that of the greater
genius. It shows what moderate abii
ity. coupled with conscientious endeav
or, may accomplish.
Do your best.
When you look up at Abbey's mural
work at the Boston Public library, OF
see his great picture at Harrisburg. OF
look upon Il copy of his paintings, lei
it remind you that
He did his best.

EiIIino the SiIo,

If immature crops are to be placed
in the silo do not cut when too green
or when n maximum of sap exists. So
to do would result in very sour, unde-
sirable ensilage. Allow the immature
crop to partially cure on the ground,
Let it stand until the lower leaves
burn slightly and until the stalks and
leaves have given off some of the sur
plus moisture.
When filling the silo, tramp, tramp,
tramp. Tramp the outer edges as well
as it can possibly be done. While
tramping keep the ensilage well dis
tributed This will have the effect OF
settling evenly and thoroughly, and
this is essential to the good keeping OF

Ant Bears Are Queer Creatures


An extraordinary looking animal is
the pro echidna, a species of ant bear
which is found in certain parts OF
New Guinea. says a writer in the Wide
World Magazine. The natives of the
Arfak mountains have very peculiar
theory as to the origin of this species
They believe that certain bird now
and again lays a special sort of egg
in its nest, Matching it out in the or
binary way. On discovering that
something has gone wrong and that
the shell contains some weird kind of
animal instead of a fedgling, the
mother bird, not unnaturally, gets an
CRY and decides to evict the little
stranger Noting that its snout is
suitable for burrowing, she takes 1t
down to the ground and buries 1t.
whence it later energies as full
grown ant bear The native idea, OF
course, is quite wrong, but the little
beastie itself. curiously enough, lays
eggs and lives by burrowing in the
ground for worms and insects. 1t
likes a rocky limestone country and
is only able to move very slowly.

TIMELY hints
FOR FARMERS
Value Of Pure Bred HOdS.

Judge e. T. ,Axlire Of Oak Grove,
Mo. is one of the most successful
swine breeders ever produced by that
state. in u recent article he says that
the value of pure bred hogs depends
largely on the care and attention Civ
en- them. Care and attention pay we'll
when given to any kind of live stock,
and if we have pure breds we natu-
rally feel more interest in them and
will take better care of them than
if they were grades of inferior quail
fly.
Pure breds breed evener. are mora
uniform in color, have more style and
finish. They feed quicker, mature and
develop earlier, with less fat than
most grades. This makes them more
profitable for the farmer and feeder
to grow and feed, and, of course. they
are better sellers.-kansas Farmer

HER KINGDOM FOR A DOG.

'Have you seen Trixy?"
Trixy is a common brindle pup,

and white fore legs and long tail.
Kennel experts would say Trixy is

1t was this way:
The dog disappeared while the fam
lily was at summer resort, and the
grief of Irene was such that the cot
tagers instituted an automobile search
everywhere throughout the woods
/ without success.
Inconsolable, little Irene was taken
back to the city.
Her throat Began to trouble her, and
an operation was made necessary.
Day and night at the hospital she
cried for Trixy. The parents offered
a reward, but no trace of the missing
dog was ever discovered.
Irene was taken home.

1t threatened to make her condition
dangerous.

SPIRITUAL COURgERS.
by EDWIN a. NYR.

When the news OF the passing of
General George w. Gordon Of Mem
phis was wired to the country there
were many sincere mournerS.
None who have ever heard General
Cc-dca's silver oratOry will forget his
fervid pleas for a united country.
He was a gall6nt Confederate OIL
Ger, the idol Of his soldiers. But when
the war was over his was one of the
first of all the voices eloquent for the
Union.
He was a great friend of Grant and
Sherman and of many of those against
whom he fought in the time that tried
mems souls.
Gordon's last words were these:
Send other couriers; those may be
killed"
In his last moments the generals
mind went back to the days of car
mage, when the thunder clouds of
black war burst over the head of the
nation, and in spirit he companioned
again with Lee and Johnston and the
comrades of the former days.
Therefore his order to send other
couriers."
He had learned in the grim theater
of war that oftentimes couriers were
cut off by the enemy and the mes
sages lost.
Mere murmurings of q dying man?
What do you or / knew about the
Ielepathy between minds here and
now? Much less what do we know
about the means of communication
between kindred spirits here and yon-
der?
Is it only fancy that the spirit of
Gordon, crossing the Potomac OF
Death, should be sending couriers for
ward to headquarters to appraise his
old comrades of his near approach?
Who will say that on flames eter-
NAL camping ground" the couriers did
mot report?
1t is not strange that on the eve OF
his departure a strong soul should
feel the powerful impulse to send sure
~couriers in advance.
And so, my friends
When the time of your departure
=and mine is come, when we shall have
said goodby to those on this bank OF
the river, what more natural than
that we should seek to send quick
vcouriers to those I'VE have loved and
lost awhile to tell them Of our ap-
proach?

1t is a rare thing for a farmer to
send very far away for a gobbler, and
it is a fact that the turkeys in any
community or county are more related
than any other class of fowls.
This is because turkeys are not
raised very extensively, and 1t is 50
easy for the owner of a flock to go a
few miles away for new blood, ami
the gobbler that he secures is gener-
ally closely related to the hens for the
reason that he is usually the son of
some turkey hen in the community
that is used as breeder.
Do not use the same gobbler over
and over season after season, but send
TO some distant point where none OF
the farmers in the neighborhood have
ever sent and get good gobbler. The
results in the end will be better and
you will be more satisfied.

The VALUE OF
STABLE MANURE.
Essential In Maintaining the
Fertility Of the Land

The most universal byproduct of the
dairy farm is the stable manure re-
sulting from keeping dairy cows and
the necessary young stock, says Colin
c.. Lille. Scientific men have made
various estimates of the value Of the
manure produced by a COW in a year.
They figured the value of the nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash produced
at market prices. Some of them have
told us that the manure from one cow
would amount to as much as $25 per
year if we had to buy these fertilizer
ingredients in the open market In the
form of commercial fertilizer.
OF course we practical dairymen
know very well that the immediate
benefit at least of the result from
manure from keeping dairy COW does
not amount to $25 per year. We re-
alize, however, that there is much
benefit to a dairy farmer from this
product, and, whether it is worth SO
per year or not, we know that dairy
farms as a general thing are getting
better every year.
The crop producing power OF 1t in
creases, and it comes largely from the
fact that the crops produced upon the
farm are fed out upon the farm and
the manure drawn to the fields, thus
keeping the soil filed with organic
matter which is one of the very essen
tial things in building up, improving
and maintaining fertility. A casual OBJ
server can tell in almost any commu
nifty who are the dairy farmers. The
grain farm is gradually getting poor
er, while the dairy farm is getting
better.
