 Entertained by Mir. and Mrs. Scott.

Mir. and Mrs. Frank Wolfolk Scott threw open the doors of their beautiful new home to a few of their friends last Saturday evening in honor of the teachers. It was their first At Home and proved a brilliant success.
 A green and white motif prevail ed throughout the house. Masses of fragrant white roses intermin- gled with feathery fern and honey suckle made beautiful floral set ting for the guests.
 The ladies in full evening dress and the gentlemen in black suits formed a pleasing picture.
 The green and white color scheme was emphasized by green shaded candles that filled the sil- yer candelabras in the dining room The buffet table was covered with cluny over green silk and eentereo by bowl that overhowed with white roses and ferns. Green ano white hints and salted nuts fillee the cut glass and silver bon bor dishes, peppers filled with cream cheese, chicken salad on lettuce leaves, sandwiches and coffee formed the menu.
 The evening was most enjoyably spent in contest games, but the cfowning feature was the propos- als written by the young ladies anc the refusals by the young mer which provoked much laughter.
 Mir. and Mrs. Scott proved them selves such a charming host anG hostess that the minutes flew by with lightning like rapidlty unti the electrician. who like time, waits l for no man. warned us of the late ness of the hour.

keatness on the Farm.

The farmer who is a farm owner should take as much interest in how his farm. premises look. as the farm wife takes pride in her dress and personal appearance.

It is an absolute 1ess to neglect 1t. It pays to keep the gates and hinges in order. and the fences in good repair. They look better and protect the crops. You know the crops and the loose stock can't both do well in the field to- gether. Itis better for both for them to be separated.
 ltcosts something to keep weeds, briers and bushes cut down along the turn rows, but 1t will pay to co 1t. Sow some good grass along the the ditches, after leveling the ground. and then keep it cut down for hay. The hay crop can be har- vested at a small cost. and 1T will pay well for the trouble, and the ditch will be kept in good order at a profit Treat the turn rows and road sides in the same way. or blow up the waste space when the crop is laid by and plant in peas. It is perhaps best to break. harrow and plant turn rows to peas just after the last blowing. The tufn rows will make lots of peas and hay. When you find the fence rows growing up it is a rood idea to run couple or three furrow8 alongside and turn the grass and weeds under. Keep the space clean.
 When. you are through eultivat- ing the crop, plant the fence rows to peas You can gather the peas or cut the vines for hay. The out lay of labor is less in the long=run than to let these waste spots grow up. and wait until the late summer  and clean them eff. and the eroT yield will more than pay. for ths trouble.

 Watered stock is a method of making wealth swellby soaking it like tapioca.
 Watering stock is more profta- ole than watering deserts or gar dens or cattle, just before delivery. The profits of gold brick peddler in district that hasn't time to read newspapers are trifl'ng beside the guardian of our national pros perity. when he begins making two shares of stock grow where only one had been before.
 Stock is not Watered with a foun- tain but with a fountain pen. If the proprietor of a railroad capital ized at $5O,OOO,OOO looks over it's stock and decides that it is getting dry and season cracked. he moist ems it up by issuing another fifty million dollars worth of stock. The money which is gotten from the stock naturally belongs to the holders of the old stock. Thus ev- cry share of stock has swelled into two shares, and the general nanag- CT is ordered to take one section hand out of each crew and extin- guish the switch lamps an hour earlier each morning. in order to save enough money to pay the ex- tra dividends.
 Stock can only be watered suc- cessfully in time of great prosperi- ty. when the company which is go= ing to get soaked is earning a great deal of money. After the stock has been Watered times often be- come harder, and the railroads in order to pay it's dividends must n= crease it's rates. Some people are so wicked as to insist that this should be done. but they are agita- tors ana have no respect for vested wealth. M
 Watered stock has been a great blessing to this country, increasing the value and magniicence of pri- vate residences in New York. and enabling us to introduce the justly celebrated American Duchess in all the courts of Europe. In the good old days. when the financial rainfall was greater than it is now. a man could start with a branch line road worth $5O,OoO, and by judicially bonding and watering the same, could in time purchase Q trans-eontlnental system before the one locomotive of the original road was sold for taxes. But a cruel and ruthless public has ob- jected to paying higher rates every time the president or a railroad owner gets social ambitions, and it looks very much as if in the bleak henceforth the preferred and con- mon stock of our glorious republic would have to thirst in vain.
