THE CRATER AND THE SUCKER.

One of my esteemed contemporaries
takes his pen in hand to land on the
sucker. He claims that the sucker is
a nuisance and an abomination and
should be speedily confined il not
wiped bodily off the face of the earth.
The sucker, as this editor claims, en-
courages fake enterprises and in this
way does a great harm to society and
all kinds of legitimate business.
All of which is true. But when he
talks about shutting up all the suck
ers or eXterminating them he is con-
versing through his head covering. L
all the suckers were confined in jails
penitentiaries or insane asylums, OF
whatever might be decided on as a
proper kind of place to confne them
these institutions would need 10 be
enlarged and multiplied by 30 and
there would not be enough left outside
to guard of care for the suckers in
side
For a vast majority of men are suck
ers. Man is prone to be a sucker as
the sparks are to fly upward. 1t is
true that We don't all snap at the same
kind of bait. What catches the eye OF
one doesn't appeal to another, but il
the CRATER only knows with what kind
of bait to conceal his hook he can
gather his victim every time.
The dweller in the city remarks
"ha, ha," and again "he! he!" as he
sees the Reuben invest in the gilded

The Unused Acre.

TIE unused acre is almost as COM
mon as farming, and Is everywhere
and always a menace to the business
success OF the farmer. 1t lowers the
income of the farm; it adds its bur
den to the tax; it costs for fencing;
it levies toll of time and patience;
and when the farm is for sale it stands
cut like a SPAWN on horse and de-
' preciates the value. 1t wastes var
liable property, it breeds a spirit OF
slackness, it stands out as the visible
and ineffaceable sign Of the poorly
managed and under-productive farm
