What Is Your Opinion?

Carefully compiled statistics reveal
the fact that out Of each 1000 men who
went into the battle of Gettysburg, SIS
were killed; while SO out Of each 1000
in the Atlanta campaign, lost their
lives. Do you suppose If life insur-
ance salesman, representing company
that was recognized by all intelligent
men as being Amply Willing; yes, anx-
ious to Carry Out it's contracts, had Of
fered to write the application Of any
of the soldiers who could, by any
means have raised the premiums, just
before they entered on the battle, they
would have told him times were too
hard" or that they were too old or the
rates were too high, or that their wild
ows or children or other dependents
could shift for themselves? No, You
don't think so. They would have ap-
piled for every dollar for which they
could pay. Now it is a fact, demon
strated by just as reliable statistics as
those already quoted, that the man who
is 49 years old today, stands identically
the same chance Of dying before he is
53 as did each soldier who entered to
be killed in the battle Of Gettysburg,
while the chance of the man who is 39
today, stands the same chance Of dy-
ing before he is As, as did the man who
was in the Atlanta campaign. Yet
there are hundreds and thousands Of
them who make the excuses listed
above for neglecting to protect those
dependent on them with a Mutual Ben
eft policy of sufficient size to enable
them to live half as comfortably as
they are now accustomed to. What is
Your candid opinion Of such a Man? ;?

Humorous department.

That Was Fair.-A man Of our ac.
very near this Office says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The barber cut his hair
After the operation was over. the ton
sorial artist said, after the manner oi
his kind:
Shampoo. sir?"
Does it need it?" came back the vic.
tim.
Very badly" asserted the barber
Your hair is very dirty and should bt
washed out at once"
60 ahead!'
After it was all over, the barber
handed the patient a check for 81
cents.
What's this for?" asked the suffer.
er, feigning surprise.
twenty-five cents for the hair cu
and 25 for the shampoo" smiled the
operator.
"Oh no." grinned our friend, tri'
umphantly. You said my hair needed
washing badly. Now you don't remem
Der it, but you washed my hair yes
terday, and 1 paid you for it. II Il
needed attention again today, you did
bum job the last time. You are repair
ing IL now. Make out a new check fol
25 cents please"
And the barber did it. But he is more
careful, since then.

Force of Habit.-Captain Blank says
il was force of habit that made him
say it, according to the Hartford
Times. However, it's a safe wager
that he hasn't told his wife about 1t.
The captain is a conductor on one OF
the trains running south Of Louis
Vile. At a certain small town two
pretty girls ambled up to the station,
and it was apparent from her toggery
that one Of the fairies was going to
take trip while the other was seeing
her off.
The traveller seemed in no hurry to
board the train as 1t steamed into the
station. With his watch in his hand
Captain Blank waited. Finally he
looked toward the fair passenger i'm
patiently.
Miss" said he with another glance
at his watch. IF you are going on this
train, you must get aboard"
Just a minute" returned the pas
senger with fiustered expression. Il
must give my sister a kiss"
Get aboard, MISS obligingly re-
sponded the gallant captain, I'll at
tend to that"

Another Horror Of Wharf.-The other
day an innocent eyed young lady,
whose demeanor has always been
sweet and gentle. went to book store
and returned with three volumes un-
der her arm, says the New York Times.
What have you there?" she was
asked by a male friend. OF course he
expected for an answer the titles of
three fluffy novels full Of moonlight
and love.
Instead the gentle young thing rat
tied off glibly:
"Oh, I've just bought Armies and
Navies in the World war, The Begin
nings Of the Great European Struggle
and Battles Of the War on Land and
Sea-"
"Ye gods!" gasped the man, and
then under his breath: Sherman was
right"

Fire Away.-A company of territori-
ais were at the range, says Tit-Bits.
The usual marker had not turned up,
but a deputy was soon found in the
person of an old worthy well known in
the district who occasionally acted as
substitute in such circumstances The
first round was about to be fired when
the captain. looking toward the tar
get, was almost stupefied to see the
newly engaged marker right in the line
of fire.
stop firing!" he screeched, as he
hastened to where the old man stood
calmly smoking. You blithering
idiot" he yelled you were within an
ace Of death just now?"
Och, aye" was the reply. list fire

Overcoming lsnoranee.-A man from
the Middle West was coming over from
Catalina Island to Los Angeles. says
the Saturday Evening Post. In one
hand he carried a bottle, tightly corked
and full to the top with a clear green
liquid.
What you got in the bottle, sport?''
asked fellow passenger.
Some water from the Pacific ocean
The folks back home won't believe the
sea water is salty. They're ignorant,
but I'm takin this bottleful home to
prove it,"
But" said the other, you've got
the bottle plumb full. When the tide
comes in that water will rise and bust
the bottle
rs that so?" asked the man with the
water. Il hadn't thought of that. I'll
pour out little" And he did.

Thew Didn't Understands

They Didn't Observation-Disclosures
Joffre once told a good humored story
of a party of four British tourists who
entered Paris restaurant one evening
and announced that they wanted din
ner, according to the Pittsburg Dis
patch.
And we don't want any of your frogs
or snails, or horses" one Of them told
the waiter, severely. We'll start with
soup-some sort Of plain soup
Certainly, sir" replied the waiter
and next minute the four Britons heard
him shout down the speaking tube to
the kitchen: Cat soup!"
Without a word the tourists seized
their hats and bolted. 1t was not until
some time later that they discovered
that in French -four soups"-"qua-
tres soupes"-is pronounced almost ex-
actly like "cat soup"

Value of the Manure Spreader.

use manure spread er, and know
that there is no comparison between the
old way and the manner in which now
apply it. Manure should be used with
economy in applying 1t to certain land
where it will do the most good, not in
large quantities but in light dressings.
1t is impossible to do this by hand
spreading. Different pieces OF grouud
require different quantities of manure.
When applied in the old way, every.
thing receives the same amount but not
evenly distributed. The manure spread
or has made it possible to put on heavy
OF light, at the operators will, aud as he
thinks the soil needs 1t.
The old way Of hauling and piling Is
waste of labor, az barnyard manure
should DO spread as soon as hauled, for
it loses from fermentation when thrown
in piles. There never is time when 1t
furnishes 30 much plant food for the
land as when taken directly from the
barn and applied to the field. As .
rule, 1t can be loaded on the manure
spreader and thus only one handling Ia
required.
use from six to eight loads per acre
of my seventy .bushel spreader, unless
have a very thin piece Of land, when
increase to ten or fifteen loads. / apply
| to all field crops az far as have manure,
and prefer to apply it in the fall after
the crops are gathered, and in winter.
l keep on spreading, even after the crops
are up and started to grow; in fact,
try to spread as fast as 1t accumulates IN
the barns. The manure spreader has
made this possible, with less labor and
better results, and consider 1t the best
and most necessary of farm tools.-Ar-

Intelligent Driving of Horses.

Perhaps all farmers know how to
drive horses, aud perhaps they only
think they do. | will mention few
simple rules which will help some, and
ipjure none. Start your horse quietly
and work easily for the first half hour.
A heavy draft horse should never be
driven faster than walk, with or with,
out load. Keep close watch OF your
harness, avoiding these faults especially
Bride too long or too short; blinders
pressing on the eye or tapping; throat
latch too tight; collar too tight or too
loose; shaft girth too loose; traces toe
long; inside reins too long.
In driving, guide gently, avoid all
Jerking. Teach the horses to go into
the collar gradually. When load is to
be started, speak to the animals, and
take a firm hold Of the reins, 80 they
will arch their necks, keep their legs
under them and step on their toes. A
loose rein means sprawling and slipping
often with one horse ahead OF the other
Ii Is astonishing, the amount OF conn
deuce that can be communicated
through the reins by the driver to the
horses.
Water as often as possible, giving
moderate quantities only. In chilly
weather never allow animals to stand
unblauketed. especially IL they are
little warm. Nothing will age an AMI
NAL SO rapidly as this. In hot weather
watch the horses breathing closely. II
it becomes labored, short and quick, Il
is time to stop. The horse Is nervous
animal and little things irritate him. H'
will be contented or miserable according
as he is treated.-B. W. p. in N. Z
Homestead.
