 Will every Local represent at that meeting? Is question frought with great importance. Surely no true thinking farmer can fail to recognize the impor- tance of a close alliance of those engaged in producing the supply of food and clothing of the whole world. Every other business melts into insignificance when compared with it. Paralyze it for one year and every other business and profession known to civilization will sink into oblivion. No set of men under the shining stars deserves the praise and admiration of every class and condition of men, as do the farmers. The world ought to tip it's hat to every brown faced and horney hand yeoman they meet, in grateful acknow- Judgement of the fact that he has been lively factor in helping to secure to him and his, that which insures to him, and those de. pending on him, every comfort of life. Down deep in the hearts of men and women there ought to be an abiding consciousness of the real worth of the men who content themselyer to live on mere pittance. To sacrifice the prospects of those dependent on them from an educational point of view. To lay themselves out for the good of others. Yes a thousand times over the most praisworthy of Gods universe.
 In the summer just passed and gone 1 saw one of the most beau tiful sights that ever greeted my eye. By the road side two beau tiful girls blooming into woman hood vieing with each other in a field of growing cotton. l invol- untarily stood still and could not refrain from tipping my hat in honor of the fairer sex who could and did step into the breach of necessity and filled it with grace and beauty. Not beautiful be- cause desirable, for 1 could but wish that conditions were such as to relive this state of affairs. All honor to the girls who can lay aside their keener sense of pride and like true heroines meet con ditiOns and surmount difficulties. Two years ago 1 was travelling one of the common thoroughfares of this county and passed the home of one of our noblest sons of toll. It was at twilight and he was putting forth his depleted strength in trying to rid his crop of the growing weeds and grass. I returned at 3:30 the following morning to find him still at work, but in a different place. He was now in his garden bent with years, but still bending every nerve to the task before him. 1 honor such men.
 On the same road and almost a stones throw of this sturdy old farmer and honored citizen, lives woman. Death had come to that home and robbed her of her husband, leaving her to fight life's battles with a family of small children and two larger girls. She was blowing and the two girls hoeing the crop. Again 1 pulled off my hat and made obe- silence to this worthy, honorable trio.

An Oasis With a History.

In the mountain range of El Guet.
terra, writes Captain A. 81 Haywood
in the Wide World. came across that
precious and rare thing in the desert
clear spring. OF course these springs
are very few and far between, and
there is tragic little story attached to
this particular one. A man and his
wife were making their way across the
desert not ong ago, and their water
supply ran short. They struggled on.
weak and parched with thirst. One by
one their camels died, and at last,
overcome with suffering, the woman
died too. The man dragged himself
painfully onward in the weary search
for water. 1t was all in vain. how
ever, and at last he. too. gave up the
struggle, and. tortured with burning
thirst, death came upon him and mer-
cifully relieved his suffering. Some
one, passing that way soon after,
found his body, lying barely 100 yards
from the little mountain spring Of Ell
Guettera. Little he knew how close he
was to his goal, poor fellow!

Ono Divided by a Half.

II you ask the man in the street the
simple question, What is one divided
by half? he will either reply that the
operation is an impossible one or that
the answer is a half. When you point
out that one divided by two is half
he will see that there is something
wrong somewhere, but will still be
quite unable to give the right answer.
When you tell him that the answer Is
two he will either accept the assertion
without understanding 1t or will dis
pute 1t tooth and nail. If you attempt
to convince him of his error you will
find 1t Is not at all an easy task. His
mistake arises through the confound,
Ing of two distinct ideas-namely, one
divided into two and one divided by
two. One divided into two is one d.
vlded into two parts, each part con-
tanning half One divided by two Is
the ratio of one to two or the number
of times two is contained in one To
any one who has thought the matter
out this seems clear enough, but to the
man In the street 1t is sheer nonsense.
and he will tell you so.-Exchange.

Old Time Toasts.

Toasts are now rarely proposed ex-
cept at public dinners, but there was
a time when they were the order OF
the day at every convivial gathering.
The compiler of book published In
1897, The Toastmaster," remarks In
his preface that 1T is the custom In
most societies, whether public or pri'
vate. for the president to call on the
company In their turn for toast. In.
dlvidhals are consequently often at a
loss. This collection OF genteel senti'
ments and toasts will supply their de
ficiency, as it contains a larger number
than ever was before published, the
greater part Of which are spirited and
new" The genteel toasts range from
the righteous, such as MAY contempla-
ton upon our last resting place check
vain hopes and prevent weak despond
ency," to the frivolous, such as Lots
of beef, oceans Of beer, n pretty girl
and a thousand year."-London
Chronicle.
