NECESSITY HAS BRED THRIFT
New England Farmer Would Make
Fortune Out of What Westerner
Allows to Go to Waste.
(Rv H. G. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

An Illinois man who last year made
an extended trip through Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and other far
eastern states, declares that a New
England farmer would make fortune
out of what the average western farm
er allows to go to waste. And he is
pretty nearly right. Everything that
comes out of the soil in New England
must be dragged out by the highest
agricultural skill. The soil back
there is not as generous as it is in
the west and therefore the farmers of
that country have learned to make the
most of whatever they get.
This necessity has bred wonderful
thrift, which is evident in the we'll
kept fences, painted barns, the alb
sence of machinery left exposed to the
weather and fields that are all Guilt
waited, leaving no waste places.
In the west the rich soil produces
crops so generously that farmers have
not felt the necessity of saving. They
took what they needed, and every year
have allowed millions of dollars to go
to waste from lack of foresight and
proper care These methods are be
ing changed, however, and as the
value Of farm produce increases and
western soil shows signs of decreasing
fertility, wasteful western farmers are
beginning to read the handwriting on
the wall and taking some slight heed
of the thrift of their New England
brothers, are beginning to coax their
tired soils back to strength and to
conserve all that they produce.
True, they are only beginning to
profit by the lessons of the past, but
this beginning is suspicious for bet
ter methods, larger prosperity which
must be born of necessity

wish was the third emperor of Rome,
a probable lunatic who filed his short
reign with comic opera absurdities and
with unspeakable horrors. His real
name was Caius Caesar Augustus eGr
manicus. His habit of wearing cali
gae," or military boots, led the sol
diers among whom he spent his boy
hood to nick name him "Caligula."
Julius Caesar had made Rome ruler
of the world. His nephew, Augustus,
had been its first emperor. Augustus
was succeeded by Tiberius, miser
and tyrant. After the murder of I'll
berius in 81 A D. young Caligula
(great grandson Of Augustus) became
emperor. He is generally believed to
have caused Tiberius' death in order
to clear his own way to the throne.
The beginning of Coliqulas reign
was all that could be desired. He gave
promise of being an ideal emperor. He
lightened the peoples burdens, forgave
political enemies, set prisoners free
and governed the country so wisely
and mercifully that, when at last he
fell dangerously i'll, all Rome went
into mourning.
Unluckily he recovered from the ILL
ness. But he came back to health a
wholly different man. The sickness
is supposed to have crazed him.
That is the kindest judgment posi-

was a patriot who suddenly turned
traitor at a time when America and
liberty, needed every true mans aid.
The colonies had long groaned IN
der British oppression. When they
rose against England, in IT'S, it was
less with an idea of breaking loose
from the mother country than of show
ing resentment by force of arms where
argument and appeal had failed. They
simply wished to bring England to her
senses and to obtain relief from IN
Justice. Even George Washington
in later years confessed: THE idea
of independence was at first abhor-
rent to me-
But soon he and all the rest OF the
patriots realized that the time for
halfway measures had passed. There
must be either dumb submission or
omen defiance. And, should they choose
defiance. they must free the colonies
wholly from the British yoke and de-
clare our country free and indepcnd-
ent.
It was to discuss this that the con-
tinental congress met at Phlladelphla
in 1875.
We are apt to think that congress
was a collection of ardent patriots, pant
ing for liberty at any price. This
was not wholly true While the ma
iority of the delegates were firm in
their resolve to declare for independ-
ence several OF them threatened to
balk at so rash step.
Nor can they be severely blamed
for hesitating. They were men OF
property and Importance. They had
more to lose than had most Ameri-
cans. Should the Revolution fail their
goods would doubtless be seized by
the British government and they them
selves would be hanged. As Benja.
min Franklin said. in grim jest:
I'VE must hang together or wen
hang separately
But, to their eternal credit, these
wary delegates at last yielded to the
nopular voice. The Declaration of In
denendence was drawn up, and on
Juiy 4. 1776, was adopted (although
it was not signed until the next
month";. The grave step was taken.
The congressman stood committed.

Caligula, the "Crazy" Emperor

more than $25,000,0 00-and then over
taxed the people to gain new money
for extravagances. One of his favor
lite methods of getting wealth was to
force his rich courtiers to gamble with
him for enormous sums. They dared
not win, for fear of death. When
Caligula had won all their cash and
jewels and estates he made them stake
their lives on a throw of the dice.
When they lost their relatives were
obliged to ransom them at whatever
amount Caligula might name.
He professed to be a direct de-
scendant of the gods, and he once at
tempted to fight duel with the myth
cal deity Jupiter, by throwing stones
at the sky during thunderstorm. One
nobleman was executed for being bet
ter dressed than the emperor; another
for being better looking.
Caligula had horse he loved. He
kept 1t in an ivory stall and fed 1t on
gilded oats from manger of marble
and gold. In an outburst of insanity
he even bestowed on this horse the
ran kof high priest" and "concul.'
Seeking military glory, Caligula once
hurried an army into Germany. Tir-
ing of this campaign before battle
had been fought, he decided to invade
Britain. So he embarked his troops for
that island But scarcely were they
aboard the ships when he ordered
them all on land again. Then, draw
| ing up his army in line of battle on
the beach, he commanded his soldiers
to fill their helmets with shells and
pebbles. They did SO, and he returned
to Rome, announcing that he had con-
quered the ocean. He also dressed a
number of his Gaelic subjects in Ger
man costumes, then had them public

tured in Germany"

world as might violent maniac taken
i from an asylum and given life-and-
death control OF everything. But his
crimes and follies were too great for
even the callous Romans. An officer
whom Caligula had grossly insulted
formed a conspiracy against him.

HANDS CRACKED AND BLED

st. Clair, Monty trouble began
about fifteen years ago. 1t was what
some claimed eczema. The form the
disease worked under was breaking
out with watery blisters on my hands
which would then dry and scale, and
then would follow the trouble of
cracking and bleeding, also itching
and hurting. My hands were disfig-
ured at the time and sore. The trou-
bic was very annoying, and disturbed
my sleep. This last February it was
ever so much worse than before.
did not do all my work on account of
the condition of my hands. I could
not put them in water without max
ing them worse. I tried lot of home
remedies, also salves and liniments
that claimed to be a cure for the
trouble, but I did not obtain a cure.
AT last saw the advertisement for
Cuticura Soap and Ointment I sent
for a sample. thought they would
cure, so 1 sent for a fifty-cent box of
Cudcura Ointment and some Cuti-

pIetely. No trace of the trouble re

Strawberries in Long Rows.

No farmer should try to grow straw
berries in any other way but in rows
of pretty good length so that they can
be tended with horse and cultivator.
By thorough cultivation between the
rows, tearing UP the weeds and straw
berry plants that have set, the hand
work of cleaning out the patch will
be greatly facilitated and Ightened.

is incapable of producing over 25 per
cent. of really fine apples in crop;
therefore, the cost of handling Is in
