. Progressive farmers, who know
aud appreciate the advantages OF
having birds on the land, have been
feeding their featherd family this
week. Birds are as necessary as
rains in the raising of crops, pro-
tecting trees and shrubbery. and
the saving of fruits and vegetables,
as the insect life destroyed by the
birds pays hundred fold for his
small toll of fruit, grain, etc. This
important lesson has been learned by
4 vast number of farmers, and they
protect their birds, and allow no
one else to harm them, either.

A Fable.

lere is a sad little fab -bu'

who, in his youth. possessed a soul
IA tender, true, aspiring sCul.
The man was proud of his suul;
proud of rs lofty iieals and noble
impulses; proud of Its delight in
music and IN contemplation OF
sublime thoughts Bat the man
had great ambition for wealth and
power, and, as much had to be
accomplished before he could
near his goal, he became a very,
very busy man indeed. And as
the years rolled by he began to find
his soul sore inconvenience. 1t
stopped him to gaze at the sunset,
it carried him forth, against his
will, to inhale the sweet, pure fresh
ness of the fields and woods after
the summer rain. 1t led him into
art galleries. 1t delayed him on the
sidewalk, because In home nearby
beautiful voice was singing the air
of an old, memory-laden song. To
De brief, in hundreds aud thousands

came about that one day the man

Then he bethought himself of his
soul. and journeyed TO the little
wood where he had buried it. He
saw no beauty now in sky or field,
III hills or stream: he felt no thrill
at the fresh, sweet fragrance of the
wood; the singing of the birds was
but sound in his ears, and the

would have charmed ana delighted

demands on the city treasury, there
is a general determination to re-
trench on expenditures, SO that the

est possible returns. In line with
this idea the councilmen themselves
with one exception, have pledged
themselves to accept no salary dur

Smiled on the earth, he smiled.

And hammer, he was glad.
Becau Sc he lived he smiled.
And did not look ahead
With bitterness or dread,
But nightly sought his bed
As calmly as child.
And people called him mad
For being always glad
With such things as he had.
