None, Thank
You

a stationery drummer recently called upon
one Of our merchants who was in the habit of
purchasing receipt books from him. How
about receipt books" asked the drummer,
arent YOU about out of them?' We'll,
yes answered the mere liant, but | don't
believe that I'll need any more. You see
most Of my customers do business at the
bank and pay me with checks. When / offer
them receipts they say, Oh, it will not be
necessary, Mr.. Blank, you will have to re-
ceipt on the back of the check before you
Get the cash on it, You see Thu is true and
it saves me very much work, as it is really as
good a receipt as | could give y, hen you
have your checks returned from the bunk
you will find that the payee has acknowl-
edged receipt Of the amount on the back of
the check. Have You ever known it to fail!

Agriculture The NobIess oecu-

The Philoponia OF Leonard Hall
attempted, at their last session, TO
prove that above agriculture there
is none, no occupation so noble,
none, so ideal, so we'll adapted to
exercise the powers Of man. II
A scientific view was taken. The
affirmative showing the uplifting
effects of the ayocation upon those
who take it up as q life work. De-
claring that to be an up-to-dat sue
cessful farmer necessitases knowl
edge OF inorganic and organic chem
islry, training Ia 10 ology, and
close study Of the operation OF the
physical laws That a contempla
ton OF the operation OF the works Of
the Creator is enobling and the farmer
is constantly watching and partici
pating 10 this noble work in his daily
care Of guiltisss beasts Of the field
and the growing Of innocent useful
plants,
He was represented IS benefac-
tor Of his fellow man, supplying his
very sustepance and the covering
for his body.
In spite OF good argument on the
part OF abe affirmative. the negative
seemed TO impress the judges.
II is to be hoped that many OF
these young enthusiasts may, never.
the less, take up agriculture as a4s
occupation aud pursue II for the
