The Country Boys Greed.

IT believe that the country. which
God made, is more beautiful than the
city. which man made; that life out OF
doors and in touch with the earth is
the natural life Of man. believe that
work is work wherever we find 1t, but
that work with nature is more inspir-
ing than work with the most intricate
machinery. believe that the dignity
Of labor depends, not on what you do.
but on how you do IT.; that opportunity
comes TO q boy on the farm as often
as to the boy In the city: that life Is
larger and freer and happier on the
farm than In town; that my success
depends. not upon my location. but
upon myself; not upon my dreams, but
upon what actually do: not upon luck.
but upon pluck. believe in working
when you work and In playing when
you play and In giving and demanding

The Bryan Eagle rightly remarks
on the cruelty of allowing horses to
stand in the hot sun all day. The
fellows who do this bring their horses
out in the winter and let them stand
in the cold, figuring apparently that
this later practice will cool them off
from their torturous experience dur
ing the summer. Fact is, the average
man hasn't much feeling for his live
stock.-Palestine Herald.

The Same, But Different.

An artist relates that newly be-
trothed lover commissioned him IN
paint a certain secluded nook in the
rocks on the shore, because there he
had declared his passion.
The picture was painted. but before
It was done the lover said 10 the
artist:
"Of course, I win see you through
on that picture. but my engagement
IS off. and, naturally, It would be
painfully suggestive to me- If YOU
can sell It 70 somebody else I will
take another picture, and be extreme
| ly obliged besides"
The painter assented TO the ar
| rangement. but within a week his
! patron presented himself.
IT'S all right" he announced. I'll
take that picture"
Am I to congratulate you on the
renewal Of your engagement" the

but quickly recovered his self-pos-
