NOT A SERIOUS BREACH.

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX.
- a gentleman calls on two
lady friends, and upon entering
the house asks for a glass of ice
water. to which the lazy answers
that there is no ice water in the
house. but if he wishes soda she
will go downstairs to get some
for him \ question then arises
as to whether it was right for the
gentleman not to object, and tell
the lady not to go down (the
people live on the second tloorD.
and IT, according to the rules Of
etiquette he acted fair by keeping
still. A. r.
think if the young man wanted
soda water he should have gone afte
it himself. instead OF letting the cir
wait on him. However, it was no
a very serious breach Of etiquette
and do not think he need worn
over it.

AN UNRELIABLE BRIDE.

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX;
- am nearly %, and recently
met a young lady TO whom ] have
taken a great liking. She in turn
seems to care a great deal for my
company. although she says she j.
engaged to be married in the fall.
She breaks appointments with her
regular lover, however, to go out
with me, and l think that if I
asked her to marry she would
throw him down for me. Do you
think it would be proper to ask
her to become my bride?
&. Z. y.
Don't you think YOU are behaving
in rather an underhand manner wheI
you try tC steal another mans sweet
heart from him. \ girl who show
herself so untrue to one man is quit,

This Is more important than II
seems at first sight Not until
farmer learns something about tho
weeds on his farm, their names.
their life habits, the injury they are
doing, will be interested enough In
them to try to eradicate them. The
amount OF weeds upon many of the
Indian farms In this state is notori,
Gus. and it is here hat we find the
knowledge in regard to weeds and
consequently the interest taken in
their removal, at its lowest ebb. Il
is when we find the weed question
becoming part OF a farmers con-
science, q part of his moral life. that
I'VE have great hopes for the future Of
that mans farm. This can come about
only through the channel of educa1
tion. by one means or another
An observing farmer learns In two
or three years the weeds that are
most abundant upon his farm. and he
learns also those that are doing him
the greatest amount Of damage. He
can also learn the names of these
upon inquiry, or they can be sent to
the experiment station, where infor!
mation concerning them will bd
cheerfully furnished.

The land had been seeded for sew;

growth of the weed. BY the middle
of June the morning glory had almost
complete possession of the field, and
from that time the wheat crop was
doomed. Now the point is this: Had
the farmer known the weed and the
nature Of 1t a few years ago, he could
have gotten rid Of the weed without

and difficult to eradicate, whereas
they can be gotten rid of by digging
