After, breakfast Miss Minerva, who
would not keep apservant, preferring
to do her own work, tied big cook

told him to churn while she washed

Realizing that he was beaten, he SUBJ

angrily, and began his weary work.
He was glad his little black friend
did not witness his disgrace.
AS he thought of Wilkes Booth Lin
coin the big tears came into his eyes
and rolled down his cheeks; he leaned
way over the churn and the great glis-
tening tears splashed right into the
hole made for the dasher, and rolled
into the milk.
Billy grew interested at once and
laughed aloud; he puckered up his
face and tried to weep again, for he
wanted more tears to fall into the
churn; but the tears refused to como
and he couldn't squeeze another one
out OF his eyes.

Farmers Read Ads.

Two farmers we're not long since
discussing their local paper. One
thought it had too many advertise
ments in it. The other replied: In
my opinion the advertisements are
far from being the least valuable
part of it. | look them over care
fully and save at least five times
the cost of the paper each week
through the business advantages l
get from them" Said the other: Il
believe you are right - l know that
they pay me we'll and rather think
it not good taste to find fault with
the advertisements, after all" Those
men have the right idea of the
matter. 1t pays any man with
family to take a good local paper
for the sake of the advertisements
if for nothing more. And if bust
ness men fail to give farmers
chance to read advertisements in
the local paper they are blind to
their own interests to say the least
