country week associations, said:
Astonishing is the ignorance Of ma.
ture shown by these little, pale, lean
slum dwellers. One child, whose
knowledge Of trees and grass and
flowers was derived from the early
closing city parks, said, as she gazed
with delight on a green rural scene
What time does the country shut
up?"
Another child watched farm
hand digging potatoes, and said:

tatoes, sir? / should think 1t would

The Oak Grove farm, one Of the best
in the county, was owned and run by
the widow Baines. The farmers
around couldn't criticise her farming
but they shook their heads over the
fact that she dressed up" every aft
ernocn and had callers now and ther
from the village, six miles away. She
also had top-buggy and silver
plated knives and forks, and she had
the best windmill for miles around.
These things were only criticised
but when it was known that the
widow had sent hcr daughter east tt
a seminary to be educated and pol
lshed up there were nen and womeI
that stood achast. Miss Minnie coulG
read, write and cipher, and what more
education was needed? She ate wisf
Ter fork, and she knew how to behave
at a party, and what was the use OF
any more polish?
At eighteen Miss Minnie was bach
hcne. She wasn't snobbish, but II
was plain that she preferred the vii
lage people, and there was hardly 8
day that calls were not being ex
changed 1t was this state Of affairs
that brought young Dick Redfern, the
merchants son, out to the farm. The
widows daughter looked good to him
Folks said it ought to make match
and no one was surprised, after the
lapse Of few months, to hear Of the
engagement.
Hes just the best fellow in the
world" was the girls assertion after
telling her mother the secret.
II never could have found another
such girl" was what young Redfern
added as he told his father Of the
engagement.
The engagement took place in Au.
gust, and the wedding was set fol
Thanksgiving day. There's a queer
thing about these engagements. As
socn as they are made the man in the
case wants to be boss. He is al
humble as pie up to that time, but

Making Cheese In oIden Days.

Cheese was made by the old-time
farmers In the summer on the Co
operative plan by which four cattle
owners, owning, say, fourteen milch
COWS, received all the milk night and
morning, according to the daily yield
Of their little herd. Thus given two
families having five cows each, one
with three and one with one, suppos-
ing that the average yield per COW
was the same, in two weeks. two own
ers would make five cheeses each;
one would press three, and one only
one cheese, but this one would be as
good and as large as any Of the rest.

the girl treated him with mere defer

or, rather, unsettled them.

'hs stamped her letter and ran over
to him and asked him please tc drop
it In the postoffice when hs gvt to
town.
'T'll do it, gal," was his hearty re-
ply. "To Dick Redfern, eh? Dicks
4 purity fine boy, and 1 was glad when
heard of the match. Oh, yes, I'll
mail your letter."
And then-he didn't. He carried 1t
In the breast pocket Of his coat and
never thought Of 1t again. Miss Min
nte looked for Dick that evening, but
she looked in vain. The same next
day and evening-the same for
week. Then she was both repentant
and indignant. In her repentance she
weut and in her anger she cried out:
II was fool to give him a chance
to snub me! Dick Re eifern can just
go to grass!"
And as the letter hadn't reached
Dick he was heaving sighs and calling
himself an idiot at the same time. At
the end Of ten days both lovers heard
some interesting news Gossip had it
that Dick was to marry Susy Temp.
Eins ard Miss Minnie had premise
her hand to Milton Swift. There was
nothing in 1t but gossip, but it made
two people very uncomfortable. Both
would deny the report about them
selves, but not about the other. With
little more encouragement gossip
went 80 far as to set the wedding days
f1d prepare the bridal outfits. The
cid love was surely off in everybody's
opinion.
Then came day when Farmer Col.
Inns took down his best coat again to
hunt through the pockets In hopes of
finding some tobacco for his pipe. All
Of sudden his good wife heard him
call out:
'Wall, now, by heck!"

"Ey heck and by hen!"
Swearing won't do any good. You

"Here-gimme the letter!" he ex

barnyard, and five minutes later was
