WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act of Street Wait That
Gained Him a Friend In
Great Novelist.

Charles Dickens, the creator OF
many delightful child characters,
earned million collars during his
lifetime with his pen, but often walk
ed the streets Of London In search OF
material for his books without penny
in his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by small boy who
asked him for penny. Dickens search
ed his pockets, but they were empty,
and 80 he told the boy. who was shiv-
ering in the cold
Poor mani" exclaimed the III tie
fellow, well &c hunks together!"
Dickens stood back In the shadow
OF the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued to beg.
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with Jolly
ring In his voice.
Now" he said we'll have two hot
buns apiece!"
Such a generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
30 forc!DIy that he took the lad home
with him, and there he was fed and
clothed, and started on the road to a
better life.

make very good stuff under such con
ditions; but on soils that must be
worked to have them give forth their
store of plant food, such cultivation
would avail nothing
Therefore, 1t Is absolutely necessary
to know the character Of the soil and
then apply the method which will
yield the largest returns, and this can
only be done when the soil Is made a
study.
Many farmers say that 1t does not
pay to replant corn because of the
loss OF time, cost of seed, etc. Some
think 1t better to pillow up the ground
and put In some other crop, but the
experience of good many go to show
that 1t does pay to replant. Speaking
on this subject, Mr.. II. w. Owsley OF
Missouri, says: II regard replanting
just as essential as any part Of the
work essential to raising the crop.

without doubt in good many locali-

There are numerous stock designs for

BY this way of cultivating am sure
you will have very few weeds to
bother at gathering time, or cutting
time, or when you cut It for silo.
OF course there Is great difference
of opinion among men in regard to
the best way OF cultivating corn, and
In sense there should be different
methods. Some soils will naturally
need deeper cultivation than others.
Ia all cases, however, thorough til.
lage is absolutely necessary to secure
the best results. Some will say, as |

very well placed The front bedroom

The exterior material for this

stained with creosote oil, which is
a very appropriate, economical and
substantial material for this type Of

gable end by means of cement plaster
with board paneling. The attic space

The bungalow, rightly understood, Is

within that sphere has some exceed
ingly creditable features Of work to
show.
The perspective and floor plan
shown herewith illustrate a very ar

bungalow style. Five good sized
rooms are provided, each one very
well lighted. The arrangement pro-
vides for that convenience which has
become typical of the western bunga-
low style of houses.

keynotes of this style as illustrated
in the accompanying design. At q
