SENTIMENTAL FARMING

I'm thinking of buying a farm" said the lawyer. My wife is crazy on the subject says there's nothing like owning land in your old age, so you are sure you'll have plenty to eat and roof to cover you"
 That's all right unless your wife is like Theophilus Evers' wife" inter rupted the doctor. His wife said the same thing and. she bounded Theo- philus until he gave up his law prac- tice and bought farm sixty miles out of Chicago.
 He said that he had wrestled with clients and expounded the law for twenty years and he guessed he had earned<a rest. Of course, he always added, he had no idea of retiring to a do little regular work to keep in trim.
 Every day at luncheon for a month he told us how fine it was going to be to have all the butter and cream and fresh eggs and chickens that they and milxnan, but at their own pleasure All they would have to do was to go out and pluck the dinner off the farm and ask favors of no body
 "Theophilus had the money to stock a farm with provisions like that and we really envied him.
 He bought the greatest array of chickens you ever saw and calculated that he was going to have broilers enough for the whole county and his cows were blooded stock. So were the pigs and the other animals. With what he intended to grow on his land Theophiius figured that he would have to buy only a few clothes and maybe sugar and tabasco sauce.
 But he hadn't reckoned on his wife. The first time he said he guessed the time was ripe for chicken dinner Mrs Theophilus burst into amazed tears. She said she simply didn't have the heart to eat a chicken that she was acquainted with and she'd never thought it of him! So they got their chicken dinner from farmer near by, whose plebeian poultry yard was carried on for general use in stead of ornament.
 Why, it wasn't minute before Mrs. Evers had all those chickens of theirs named-and, what's more, they'd come when she called them. She'd go out in the back yard and say; Now, Beatrice and Helen and Josephine, you've been rolling in the dust again! Look at your nice white wings! Aren't you ashamed? And those white Orpingtens would scratch around in the gravel and look sheep ish and she'd dust them off Or she'd call out: Jane and Lillian and Blanche and you Bertha, you've been frisKing around without laying any

STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES.

It is impossible to look over the report of the state board of chari- ties without realizing the important service which Is rendered thereby to the state and 10 the delinquent. defec- tive and dependent men, women and children who are concerned in the in stitrtionai life of the commonwealth. This advisory board is active in the pursuit of the object for which it was created and ft Is through its efforts in behalf of maintaining proper condi- tions in the state institutions that the classes of cases with which they are concerned get the intelligent treat Enent and oversight which is demand ed. but which except for some such board could easily be subjected to neg feet and inaftention.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Waiting Awhile.

It is well for young people to fall in love, and nothing is more beautiful than to be willing to put every other consideration aside and to marry in spite of reason and in spite of rela- tives.
 But one thing is needful, and that is to be sure you are in love, and not merely caught in a fury of passion
 The person most easily deceived in matters of the heart is oneself.
 George Meradith gives a good bit of advice. You may know your love" he says. from it's power of persisting and bearing delay. Passion has not these powers. Don't be hasty and think you are trusting your instinct by grasping suddenly at the golden apple. Can you bear poverty for her Will she for you? Can she, even if she would? Remember that very few women bear 1t and retain their delicacy and charm. Some do"
 About the longest mistake one can make is the mistake of choosing the wrong husband or wife.
 If a man has found the right wom- an. he has. found the pearl of great price, and may well sell all he has to purchase it.
 But there's one thing that never hurt any true love and is the best detective of mistaken love; it is waiting awhile.

Genevieve and Anna were the Guernsey cows he had counted on for cream and butter. But 1t was no use. because they got so outrageously lazy and aristocrat1c that they wouldn't work.
 They just ate clover and switched their tails and watched in bored sort of way the hired man driving over with the milk cans to the nelghborlng farm, where there were some every day sober and industrious cows that lived the lives the Lord had ordained for cows.

If Theophilus Evers was brute enough to do that she'd feel like getting a divorce. So they bought their bacon and ham from the butcher, as usual, and Howard and William waxed fat in laziness and comfort.
 Mrs. Theophilus rarely allowed the horses to be used. She said it was too hot or too cold or that they looked pale or had the hiccoughs and must wear red flannel around their necks When Theophilus got an automobile to circumvent her it was just as bad, because she refused to have the poor hired man overworked running 1t. So they paid an expressman savage prices to cart their stuff out to them from the village.

Grafton of the possibilities OF being
able to get away for a year or two,
that new phase of the service
which the modern trust company is
performing with perfect satisfaction
is brought to his attention. While
he has been endeavorlng to make de-
sire fit duty and to reconcile wan
derlust with opportunity, right at his
very threshold is presented the agen-
cy which can solve his problem.
The trust company is not only
willing to accept a temporary trust
of this character, but is capable OF
doing the business with the very
best of modern facilities and in ad-
dition can offer abundant proof of
sufficient resources to make such a
trust perfectly safeguarded. Hhe
trust company will buy and sell Sc
curities, or real estate, invest sur
plus income; take complete charge
of the absent mans property, renting
it, keping up repairs, paying taxes
and insurance-in fact assuming all
the details Of a mans affairs. thus
leaving him free to go abroad and
assuring him of the very best finan
cial and legal care of his business
while he revels in the delights of
travel. No lnoger is II necessary for
a man of wealth to journey to that
"land from whose bourne no traveller
eer returns" before a trust company
can take under its care the affairs
he may wish to lay aside for a time.
Temporary trusteeships, with extent
and purpose clearly marked, are be-
coming a phase of the business life
of our country and are giving to the
possessors of fortunes a chance to
escape for a greater or lesser per-
iod from the penalties fortune2some
times brings, secure in the knowledge
that a capable corporation whose d.
rectors and officers are especially Sc
lected for their business ability and
integrity, will transact the details OF
business for them give letters of cred
IL to every civilized land; honor
cheques and drafts from every point
and upon demand restore to the own
ers the original property and every
dollar derived from the income re-
ceived during the interval the trust
company has been in practically com
plete possession of the estate All
this at very moderate cost to the
person who places the property in
! its care.
