BREAKFAST OFF HIS PILLOW
ledger In Crowded Old Irish Inn
Found He Was Sleeping on
the Bacon.

Sleeping on a mat under the moon
in a cannibal country is a pale adj
venture compared with a lodge in an
old-time Irish inn at the height OF
the tourist season. A certain master
of the Galway hunt, says a contribu-
tor to Cornhill, arrived at a small
inn where all the beds were already
taken.
A kitchen table was requisitioned,
a heterogeneous collection OF bed
clothes was arranged upon it-into
the exact nature of which it was
perhaps not well to inquire too close
ly, as it seemed to be composed OF
contributions from the wardrobes of
the hotel helpeand the sportsman
turned in.
The pillow was an odd-shaped sub
stance, emitting a faint and strange
" familiar odor; but the master of
the Galway Blazers was TOO weary 10
concern himself over such t%rif1es,
and he slept as soundly on his make
shift couch as if it had been a cano-
pied bed of state.
He was awakened in the morning
by a gentle fumbling at the wrap
pings beside his head, and started up
to see a cleaning knife suspended
aboye his head. ~
"I'm sorry to be disturbin' We,
sir" said an apologize voice, "but

Oakland Farm Notes

WHY not keep the yard around
the house moved down so that it
looks as if people lived in your
house? If ycu haven't any yard
make one.
The knocking habit is a self-gen-
Grated acid which eats into energy
and corrodes enterprise.
The farm house has been looked
upon by many as merely place to
stay, with the idea, perhaps, that
when a fortune has been accumula-
ted fine home will be built IN the
city, where the farmer and his fami-
ly can retire and live at their ease.
Many people seem to think that it
is not necessary ever to have a good
home on the farm and to get little
enjoyment out of life as they go
along. Such people have just one
shining spot IN the horizon of
their lives, and this spot, which
shines with the brilliancy of the
MONDAY sun, is nothing more than
the almighty dollar. But this is
their goal, and in the mad rush for
that goal their eyes become so blind
ed by its brilliancy that they fail to
see any of the flowers and the good
things of life that are scattered
along life's pathway.
Remember, that the farming I'M.
plements detoriate more when left
in the sun and rain than when in
use. Build convenient tool shed
and keep your tools in it, when not
in use. Your farming implements
are your capital and you cannot af-
ford to waste it. The tool house is
a good investment.
The best work that can be done
on country roads Is just after spring
rains. Thorough dragging with the
