DO YOUR VERY BEST.
And Then Be Sure That You Are Sat-
isfied With Yourself.

II is not what people say about you
Its what you are that counts. The
one person in all this world whom you
should aim to satisfy is yourself. You
alone know yourself Other people
know your outward appearance, your
actions, your deeds You, and you
alone, know your motives. your ambi-
tons, your thoughts.
Are you satisfied with yourself? II
Is your own fault if you are not Are
you satisfied that you are doing the
best you can in your work. that you
are making the most of your time?
Are you confident that your conduct
toward your family, your friends, your
neighbors, your employer, cannot be
improved?
Look yourself straight in the face
this morning In your minds looking
glass Ask yourself whether 1t Is
what people say about you or what
you are that hurts. AnalyZe your own
conduct in all matters.
Put yourself in the other fellows
place and try to see your actions
through his eyes. Imagine that You
are your employer instead Of yourself.
Answer honestly whether IL he knew
as much about you as you know about
yourself he would discharge you or
would raise your wages. II you do
this conscientiously there are many
things you will do differently.
Remember this. too-other peoples
opinion of you is based on your own
opinion of yourself. Are you self re-
specting? Other people will respect
you. Are you truthful? The world /!
viii believe you. Are you honest? Ey-
cry one will trust you.
But weigh yourself frequently. Weigh
yourself carefully. Be certain that
your own opinion of yourself is jristi-
fed. Be satisfied with yourself.-Wil' I

CRABBE, THE NEGLECTED.
A Poet Whom Byron Called Natures
Best and Sternest Painter.

Dante was a great traveller and the
greatest pen impressiouist who ever
wrote. He describes landscape in a
line so that it stays with you forever.
He uses the fewest possible number OF
words, hardly any adjectives, and the
picture leaps up before you, immortal
and unforgetable. Who can do this
among the moderns? Keats could.
Tennyson gives you English landscape.
III you read I'm Memoriam' you have
lived year In the English country
and seen the march of the English
seasons Crabbe can do 1t. Who reads
Crabbe? Nobody. And yet he is a
wonderful poet. as realistic as Tolstoy
and Arnold Bennett Byron called
him the best painter of nature-"Na-
lures sternest painter, yet her best"
He writes about the poor as they
are, without sentimentality and with
out exaggeration, and as a painter of
English landscape he still remains the
best. He may not be read by the mod
ern generation, but he is not forgotten.
A Frenchman wrote long ard excel
lent book about him not long ago. lie

THE COUNTY FARM AGENT.
Some Reasons Why windham County
Should Have One.

In addressing body OF grangers and
representatives of civic organizations ut
Brattleboro last Friday evening in the
interests of county agent for Windham
county, John Gleason, a successful
farmer of Wardsboro, said in part
THE securing of an agricultural ex-
! pert TO devote his whole time and energy
| for the next two years to the promotion
of the agricultural interests of Windham
county seems assured. A short time ago
| the average yankee farmer OF this Sec
( ton was prone to look favorably upon
scientific farming, but instead was in
clined to take pessimistic attitude
toward book farming" as he called il,
and think that practical knowledge was
all that was needed. The general appre-
citation as expressed Friday afternoon by
the delegates from the various sections
of the country, of the idea of securing an
agricultural expert to advise the farm
ers of Windham county shows that such
an expert viii be able to accomplish good
results on account OF the willingness of
many of the farmers at the present time
to farm by up-to-date scientific methods.
Ii il quite generally conceded by observ.
ers of the situation that an agricultural
expert can accomplish double the good
throughout the county now as compared
with 10 years ago, simply on account OF
the agitation for scientific and intensive
farming instead of keeping on in the old
"rnt" and the general appreciation Of
the value of this training by large
number Of the leading farmers through
out the county. There seems to be no
question that the necessary funds can
be raised for the project as 1t il only
slight burden when distributed over the
entire county. Each town will have to
raise small amount in order to take
advantage of the liberal offer available"

A FIRE HOUSE ROMANCE.
The old Horse Did His Part. but the
Old Chief Weakened.

Not long ago fire horse was brought
in from the farm, horse thirty-six
years old. that had not had harness
on his back for eleven years. This
horse used to pull the chiefs wagon.
He had the faculty of getting under
the shafts quicker than ever any horse
did that stood on four feet. He never
made mistake, never a false move.
BY the time the driver was in the wag-
on the horse was ready to go, and
when he went he went on the high
speed. SO behold the old horse brought
in from the country witnessing again
the frills and frivols of the city.
The horse was barefooted. his name,
tall and fetlocks grown out long and
shaggy The fire laddies went to work
cleaning him up with loving caress.
The old red wagon of the chief was
brought out. The shafts We're lifted in
the air with the harness hanging. The
horse was standing, loose, 200 feet
away.
At signal the gong was sounded,
and like a flash of light the old veteran
leaped for the shafts A fireman snap
ped the harness into place. The old
fire chief watched the whole perform
ance, intending to spring into the wag-
on, provided the horse had not forgot
ten his cue.
TIL horse knew how to do it; but,
alas, the venerable chief, now grown
gray, merely stumbled and tumbled for
ward, threw his arms around the old
horses neck, burst into tears and cried
