Colored I'm Fifteen Days ssby Order Of

discussion as to how to color q meer-
schaum pipe. It may interest your
readers to know how one was colored
in fifteen days.
A European contemporary tells an
entertaining story Of how a pipe was
colored by order of the car" An
artist who had spent some years in
Russia received as a parting gift from
the czar (Nicho1as - an enormous
meerschaum mounted with diamonds.
Noticing that the recipient was look
ing somewhat positively at the gift.
the car asked him what he was think
ing about. The artist replied that he
was thinking Of the time it would take
to color the pipe, probably five years.
Learning that the artist would not
be leaving the country for fifteen days,
the car took the pipe back again and
sent 1t to the palace guardhouse.
where the following order OF the day.
was issued:
Under pain Of the knout none shall
smoke any other pipe but this. All
the necessary tobacco will be sup
Piled"
The Cossaks went cheerfully at the
job day and night, and at the end Of
the fortnight the pipe was returned to
its owner. inscribed: "Colored in if
teen days by order Of Nicholas, en-
peror." -Correspondence of the New

THE Outward DRIFT.
Men C0ntented to Live in the Open
but Their Wives Want Company.

My explorations Of the souls of far
mers. backed by my own life on q
farm, and the lives my mother. sisters,
aunts, cousins. and women neighbors
lived, lead me to the conclusion that
the drift to the cities has been large
~ . woman movement. I have found
the men on farms much more con-
tented and happy than the women.
My mother wanted my father to
leave the farm and move to a college
town where the children could have
"a better chance" He did not accede
to her wishes, and one bit OF spiritual
drift was checked. But just to the
degree that farmers have reached the
plane of letting the wife and daughter
vote on the future of the family. they
have been pushed toward the city.
Out on broad cattle ranges I have
found the men and boys filled with
the traditional joy of open spaces and
the freedom Of spirit which goes with
it; but in many, many cases their wo-
men were pining for neighbors. for
domestic help. for pretty clothes. for
schools. music, art. and the things
tasted when the magazines came in.
So here we have one of our greatest
national problems related back to that
eighth or tenth person in our popula-
ton who happens to be a farm wo-
man.
Our agricultural life has been fall
ing to pieces. The fragments have
been sucked to the cities. The pride
of the nation once lay in its sturdy
farmers. From their ranks came our
statesmen, our scholars, our finan-
ciers. The iron in the nations blood
came from the blades of scythes and
sickels. and the polish from its plow-
shares. The farmers fought our bait
| ties and built our railways and
bridges. They have been the soldiers
of progress. And unless we can still
! maintain a farm life in which the
greatness of American life can flower,
the armies of progress will suffer that
decadence which comes to the hosts
| of any nation when they come from
pavements instead of from meadow
! and plowed fields.
The farm woman must bear these
oncoming hosts of strong men, or they
will not be borne. And unless the
farm women can live under conditions
which make for happiness. health and
pride, our whole nation will be weak
ened by the i'll health. unhappiness
and unrest of these mothers and wives
There is a movement for better
/ things among the farmers wives OF
the land. There is a new organization
on an International scale. There are
questioning and revolt and progress in
the rural homes. This idea is finding
recognition among them, that all the
prizes Of progress are no longer to be

NEIGHBOR HAS JOKE ON BRYAN
Commpner Worked An Day in Sun
Clearing Another Mans Land.

DR.. III. A. Lawton. who is q neigh
Dor of Secretary Bryan when the lat
ter is wintering on the Florida coast,
arrived at the Aston with a tale Of
how Col. Bryan set out to clear up
his Florida estate last winter.
You see," said DR.. Lawton, 1.-The
coloners land adjoins that of the
prosecuting attorney of Dade county.
Mr. Bfllingslea. A lot Of that ground
down there is covered with what is
about the same as a Jungle. There Is
the gumbo-limbo tree. for instance.
which will grow If you simply cut on
a twig and stick it in the ground, and
when you start out to clear ground
there you have a job before you. But
when one day Col Bryan announced
that he was going to clear his land
himself, and bought a brand-new axe
and a Ratchet to do the job with.
none attempted to dissuade him. So
Mr. Billingslea and 1 called for him
with my car one morning.
I'VE found him dressed for the
work in a checked gingham shirt. no
collar, and a straw hat, and we set
him down where he wanted to get
out
"'Now, be sure,' he enjoined us.
not to come back for me before night
fall
I'VE promised, and as we turned
back we saw ne was alredQy lacking
the nearest bit of the jungle.
when we got back at the promised
| time the colonel stood waiting for u.s.
Not only from the condition OF his
shirt was it apparent that he had
been working on that brotling hot
day, but a respectable mass OF for
est had disappeared. 1t astonished
| me to think a man could cut down so
many tough trees in one day, even
with a new axe.
"ewell,' called the colonel. as we
drove up, what do you think about
it?' casting his arm about with a
sweeping gesture.
"As for myself, I could only say it
was a mighty good days work. But
! Bilingslea looked about. H. q sort OF
surprised fashion. His eyes had
quickly taken in a boundary mark
which was inside the spot Col. Bryan
had been working on.
l "sYou have done well, colonel, he
cried, and I have to thank you. sir.
for beginning on my land
| Why. what do you mean? de-
manded Mr.. Bryan.
"'You haven't reached your land
yet explained Billingslea: you have
been working all day on mine and
he pointed out the boundary mark.
"Mr. Bryan. removed his hat and
scratched his head. Then he smiled.
whimsically. He climbed into the car.
"'Not a word of this he cautioned
us as we drove off. But I have
chuckled SO much over it that II
