Be Careful What You Say

In speaking of persons faults
Pray don tforget your own;
Remember those with houses of glass
Should seldom throw stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
lis better we commence at home
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge man
Until he's fairly tried.
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some have their faults-and who have II
The old as well as young.
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan,
And find it works full well;
To try my own defects to cure,
Before of others tell.
And tho / sometimes hope to be
No worse than some | know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all when we commence
To slander friend or foe
Think of the harm one word can do
To those who little know.
Remember curses, sometimes. like
Our chickens, "roost at home.''
Don't speak of others faults until
You have none of your own.

Bevell added to the pleasure of the evening with selections from his Victor graphaphone.

The guests left, wishing MT. and Mrs. Snyder a safe return to their home A num- Der from Willimantic and South Gov entry were by special invitation guests of the club
 Barn Burned.
 Fire broke out Friday noon in the barn of Mrs. Sarah White. But for the prompt and generous response to the appeal for help. and the fact there was no wind, all of the building must have burned, as the wells were soon dry. Plenty of help razed the blazing sheds, and prevented the flames reach ing the houses. Horses were taken out with slight burns, but all else was lost. The origin of the fire is a mys- tery.

As Hank said, "Oh, Rats!"-Big rats: muSkrats: RATS!
 There isn't any earthly crop I know of which is easy to raise" in a New England garden except puSley. That
 can be had in abundance by every farmer But it isn't of special value as a vegetable There are good many other things which he can raise, if he will take enough trouble and dc enough work, There are certain le calit1eS where such things as celery and tomatoes and Lima beans and egg plants can be grown at a profit, pro- vided the season is all right There are other localities where such things cannot be produced as cheaply as they can be bought. unless in very un- usual season
 The average New England farmer, on the average New England farm, with the average New England season, can raise even so common place a crop as cabbage, unless he will take a whole lot of pains and do a whole lot of work.
 # he wants to spread himself little and grow things which naturally call for warmer and moister climate and d longer season. then he's got to take more than a whole lot of pains: he's got to camp out on the job and turn himself into vegetable mid wife and horticultural trained nurse I'm talk ing about the average season on the average garden or farm. Of course, now and then comes along an eXcep- tionaI season when the spring opens phenomenally early and the fall frosts hold off unusually late, and the inter vening summer is warm and with ample rainfall. In such a year almost anybody can grow almost anything al- most anywhere But such q year is a rarity; can never be depended on, and is seldom to be looked for
 It's worse than poor judgment,-i bad morals to try to cajole people into farming or gardening or any other like pursuit. on the pretense that they're easy"
 They're not easy" No real work ever will be. And it's only work which counts for results in the end.
 We frequently hear it said You never know what you can do till you try
 Perhaps; but there's one thing you don't have to try to find out that you cannot do it. That is farming or gardening without hard work. If you're rich enough you may be able to hire some one else to do that hard work. But it has got to be by some body, either by yourself or another. It can't be lodged; It can't be clrcum- vented; it can't be outmanoeuvered by any tricks of strategy. The only things which it is easy to grow on the average farm are the weeds and briars and bushes that are of no use to us. The things we want we have got to work for.
 This may unfortunate, or 1t may be happy. That is according 10 how you look on work: whether you regard it the primal curse pronounced as a punishment, or as the blessing which alone makes a worthy human existence DOCSib1p
