COLLIE ON THE FARM
Good Dog Is as Essential as
Other Live Stock.
Roush-coatsd Scotch Variety 10 Not
Only Useful Around Sheep, but

tie and Keep Watch.

There Is nothing more companion
able when rambling through the
woods or walking In the country than
fine dog. On the farm a dog-a
good one-is as essential as other live
stock.
There fs no animal more intelligent
or sagacious than a collie, and no dog
is more suitable for the farmer. Col
lies are very beautiful, graceful In
every movement and are active all the
time. Their heavy coat adds to their
beauty, and enables them to with.
stand all kinds Of exposure. A collie
is easily taught. and soon learns to
do useful duties about the place with
out bidding. They think and act for
themselves in an emergency, making
most excellent watchdogs. and always
show loyalty and love for their mas
ter.

dog just get good intelligent collie
and you will in short time think
nearly as much of him as any member
of the family They make fine COM
panions for women and children. They
are very affectionate and their affec-
dons are strong and lasting.
The rough-coated Scotch collie Is
one Of the Oldest breeds OF dogs. It's
history extends way back into ancient
times when dogs of this breed were
used by the shepherds to care for
their focks. 1t is today used for this
same purpose not only in the west
among the mountains and the plains,
but in England and Scotland, as well

Mrs. Croft was . country girl and
life in the city had been hard on her.
And there had been no children.
And ever the memory of Mildred
Carter swept over him like a food
tide, and by that sweet memory he
had tried to live and fought down
the rising bitterness in his heart.
At last his wife and he had resolved
upon a temporary separation. 1t was
not TO be permanent: they were too
sincerely fond Of each other to dream
Of anything like that Rather 1t was
to be a period Of adjustment in which,
each. alone. could examine his and
her heart and see wherein the of.
ter had come. in which she had dag.
nosed the trouble accurately. 1t was
not their love which was at fault, but
the conditions Of their life, and love
must be strong enough to overleap
those artificial barriers.
But Mildred! John Croft had never
ceased to dream Of his first love. II
those years could be wiped out once
morei He saw her now as he sat
musins in his study. passing down
the village street, swinging her sun
bonnet: he saw the shy. quick glance
that she would cast up at him. He
had those letters that she had writ
ten to him. breathing 80 many hopes,
in the drawer OF his desk. He had
never destroyed those; they were
sacred to him.
His wife would not return for three
days. Why. then. should he not go

him Just at the place where they used

she wear that sunbonnet? And would

Rush Of Work, sordid Struggle
and Cramped Quarters Kills
Romance Of Life.
BY ISABEL JONES.

John Croft had written to his wife
and dropped the letter down the mail
chute. She had been gone three
weeks, but she had communicated
with him twice during that period SO
that the breach between them was
rot irrevocable. That morning her
second letter had come. and now that
he had answered It he took 1t up and
began reading 1t again.
Dear John" she wrote. II have
been thinking Q good deal during our
separation and have come to the
conclusion that neither Of us is SO
much to blame for our disagreements
a. the other thinks. 1t Is our life in
the city, John, the rush Of work. the
cramped quarters, the killing Of the
romance Of life by the sordid struggle
for existence. John, shall we try
again and see II we cannot be kinder
70 each other?"
John Croft had come to the city
form the country. like 80 many coun-
try boys, burning to make a name and
fortune in the field where the prizes
are immense but the struggle acute.
No mercy is given on that battlefield.
He was twenty then. and Mildred
Carter had told him that she would
walt for him, II need be for ever.
They had been sweethearts for three
years and neither had been in love be-
fore. And Mildred waited. though the
wait was long. Year by year John
Croft had struggled vainly. hopeless
ly, until his sudden recognition came.
Then he had married. And that was
flve years ago and though success
seemed certain he was not yet out Of
the press of that remorseless battle.
John fell to musing upon Mildred.
He remembered her as she used to
walk shyly by his side to church;
he thought Of those many lovely hours
in the old town, where their homes
adjoined; of stolen kisses at even. Of
all the thousand and one things that
a lover recalls. How fond of each
other they had been! Then came his

Getting Seed Grain Early.

Do not walt until spring to clean
and grade your seed grain. DO It
while you have plenty Of grain at
hand from which 10 select. The best
twenty-five bushels Of grain out of a
hundred bushels are worth much
more for seed than is the grain that
can be cleaned from much smaller
amount in the spring.
The cost Of thus cleaning and grad.
Ing the grain is very slight, and It
enables one to have heavy. plump seed
grain at very little outlay.

Novel Reason for
 Granting Suffrage

The only territorial legislature in the United States (continentaD has granted full suffrage to women.
 Why Alaska has enfranchised the women is a question easy to answer. It wants more of them and it wants them on any terms. If suffrage will make Alaska more attractive to wo- men. they can have it. Jury service is a burden as well as privilege, and Alaska exempts women from such ser vice. But if they shall ask for jury service, they will get it without a dis senting vote.
 In fact, they will get anything. if they will only come and marry the miners, fishermen, prospectors and others who are unanimously opposed to single blessedness.
 Alaska suggests new way of get ting suffrage-a better way than vio- lence. Let the women threaten to emigrate from the states than deny them the vote to states or territories that grant it. In this way they will get votes coming and going, as it were.-Chicago Record Herald.
