WOMAN MANAGED FARM N
For FoRTY-THREE YEARS
Secured Good Living and Something
& More Every Year. II KS.

Z .5s5f - .s5r . "a
Eaton Rapids, Mich, Dec. 1s-Mrs.
Margaret Simpson, who resides on a
farm in Aurelius township, few
miles east of this city, is one of the
earliest settlers, in Aurelius. For fif-
ty-three years she has resided on her
present homestead, and it was on
this farm where her husband died in
1870. ~<-
All of the years since Mr.. Simpson
died the widow has personally looked
after the management of the farm,
and it has brought her in a good liv-
ing and something more every year.
She is now 70 years of age and
without relative in the world that
she knows of. She is surrounded by
about all of the comforts of life that
can be enjoyed in a we'll kept rural
home.
Mrs. Simpson came to this country
from Ireland when IA years of age,
leaving her parents and other rela-
tives behind. It has been many years
since she had any word from her rel
any of them are still living.
Soon after her marriage she and
her husband settled on the Aurelius
farm and saw this section of Michi-
gan advanced from an unbroken will
derness to one of the best improved
rural districts in the state, Mrs
Simpson is probably the only woman
in Michigan who has managed a farm
on her own account for a period OF
forty-three years, and without having
to go to an attorney to have any OF
her business matters transacted.

COLLEGE GIRLS TEXAS FARMERS
Will Hire Men for Hard Work and
Superintend It.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 12-Miss
Katherine Bigelow, since 1909 direc-
tor of physical culture for women at
the University of Michigan, will leave
Ann Arbor at the close of the college
year and together with friend, Miss
Christine Schott of Galveston, Texas,
also a college girl, will take up ex-
tensive farming on a small ranch
they have bought three miles out
from San Angelo, Tex.
For the past two years the ranch
has been under expert cultivation,
and a part Of it has been irrigated.
These two young women will contin-
ue along the same lines laid out by
the former owner, who is a graduate
agriculturalist, and up to the minute
on efficient farming.
The two girls will raise fruits
blueberries, strawberries, raspberries
and grapes. The former owner also
raised chickens of an expensive and
rare variety, and the Misses Bigelow
and Schott will continue to raise the
same breed, as good market for
their eggs and their chicks has al
ready been established. They will SUI
perintend their own farm, but they
have no intention of turning Maud
Mullers or raking hay under a boil
ing Texas midsummer sun. There
are men to be hired for the hard
work on the farm, but not for the
supervision of it.
Miss Schott and Miss Bigelow are
both lovers of the out-of-doors life
Two years ago Miss Bigelow spent
some time in Texas with Miss Schott
and the two rode horseback for days
at a time, and last summer they
spent together in the Adirondacks
padding over 100 miles up the Hud-
son while en- route
II suppose our venture creates
more interest in Texas than it would
in Oklahoma or any western state, -
said Miss Bigelow, "for in the West
women who engage in farming are
not such rarity. Personally I do not
see why we cannot take up the work
that appeals to us without comment -

| Leave not a dear one out,
And wake on Christmas morning
l With ringing song and shout,
For in the silent midnight
Shall Santa Claus appear
And crown with gifts Of gladness
The love time of the year.
Hang up the baby's stocking.
The cunning little elf
II still too very thin
To do it for herself
And hang the mothers stocking,
Oh, very plain in sight!
Some one must think for mother,
Or she'll forget 1t quite.
Hang fathers sturdy stocking
Right here between the boys,
And give him books and papers,
As he gives tho children toys.
Let Santa Claus be careful
About the politics,
For father has conscience
That to the right side sticks.
Hang up the old folks stockings;
Hang up the little girls. T..
Dear grandma with her silver hair,
Sweet Flossy with her c11rls,
Will both be very happy
When dawns, in roseate cheer,
The merry Christmas morning.

A Plate With a History.

A former resident of Albany has on
the sideboard of his New York home
an oldtime blue china plate which has
history we'll known to the family.
In the winter Of 1857" so the story
always begins. 'the ice broke after
sudden rain and warm spell, and the
water came upon us so quickly that
we children were bundled out of the
house to the home of friends who
lived further away from the river The
table for next mornings breakfast had
been laid in the basement dining room.
and when the water went down enough
so that one could go to that room
some of the plates and cups were found
frozen to the ceiling. for it turned aw-
fully cold after the water was in the
houses. And that's one of the plates
that didn't break when they all fell
off," One of the children says that
grandpa always told it that way, and
1t must be true."-New York Tribune.
