In boyhood he stands at road

the call of his heart which decides
that momentous question - the call
to alleviate pain, to be an unapplauded
hero TO thousands whose lives he held
in the palm of his hand. He is never
called to scenes of laughter and D1irth
but almost always to the bedside OF
suffering humanity. There is little
sunshine for him from dawn to mid
night. When he has turned his back
on sorrow and pain, the doctors haven

who stands at the threshold to greet
him with her ever-ready kiss.
His profession demands that he

Because he is brought in contact
with other families in their homes, is
that a valid reason why he should

profession throws him in contact with
women as we'll as men. 1t is the

When one patient leaves his Office,
others are ushered in with such quick
succession that he has no time for his
thoughts to dwell on one or the other
if he would. When his weary day is
over, there is no blessing so dear to
his heart that heaven could give him
as to clasp the arms of his own child
about his neck and listen to its pratt
tie. He forgets his WEAKNESS. The
high tension of his nerves is relaxed.
He is no longer q great hero of the

wife is by his side, his babe is on his
knee.
Who would shut him out from the

by his side and to be the mother of
his children. A greater honor no man
could pay her. His wife should do ev-
erything in her power to make his life
at home holiday from care. True,
HIS time is not always his own, but she
should bow her head to duty's call.

American Military History,

One hundred years ago the little
American force pretentiously desig-
mated as the Army of the North re-
tired from Piattsburg tC the south
bank Of the Saranac river, ia readiness
to meet the British army, which was
now almost within striking distance.
General Macomb, the American COM
mander, had about $500 men in his
army, but perhaps less than 1000 were
fit for active duty. the British force
numbered between 1000 and $4,000
men, the majority of whom were vet
ereus in the service. Notwithstanding
the seeming impossibility of defense,
General Macomb Unanswered his little
army and gathered such reinforce
ments by earnest appeal as, to enable
him to anticipate the meeting with the
enemy with the utmost confidence.

She waits gladly and modestly for
him to declare himself If his manner
has changed a little from the ardor of
the earlier days of their courtship, If
he comes less frequently and very

Her hopes wreathe around the object

as to deliberately pick quarrel with
her. She forgives him, thinking he
may have business worries she knows

writing her that he has come to the
conclusion that he is not good enough

For maintaining or restoring the
fertility of the fields there is nothing
better than barnyard manure. By the
ordinary methods Of piling manure on
the ground or storing it in wooden
pens or boxes, 80 to so per cent OF
it's fertility is lost, according to the
u. S. Department of Agriculture.
This loss is brought about in two
ways: First, by teaching or washing
due to heavy rains; second, by Ter
mentation or heating caused by lack
of sufficient moisture. Since concrete
pits are waterproof, manure may De
kept in them as moist as may De
necessary and such an enormous
waste in the fertility of the manure
may thus be entirely prevented. one
load of manure from concrete PIT
is worth IL to loads of manure as
usually stored. Moreover, with con-
crete pits the supply of manure is
increased by all the liquid manure
the richest part, from the barn gut
tiers and feeding floors.
Shallow manure pits do very well
where the manure can be frequently
hauled to the fields. The walls and
floor should be inches thick. The
clear dimensions of the pit are:
Depth, 8 feet; width, 6 feet; length
IL feet. Dig the trench 8 feet inches
deep by feet 10 il ches by IL feet
10 inches. BY keeping the sides YER
tical only an inside form will be
needed. Frame the sides and ends
separately For the sides cut the
1-inch siding II feet long and nail
1t to the four 2 by inch uprights 3
feet long and equally spaced. The end
uprights for the sides are 2 by inch
pieces nailed fiat to the siding; the
others are also by 4 but are nailed
on edge. 1t is not necessary to cut
these uprights to exact lengths; they
may be allowed to extend above the
siding. Make the siding for the end
sections of the form feet 2 inches
long and at the ends nail it to the
edge of two by 4 inch uprights.
Place a single 2 by upright between
each end pair. Cut four cross braces,
to 10 inches long, from by inch
timbers. Have enough sections of
woven-wire fencing. 71z feet long, to
cover the bottom of the pit.
Set up the forms on the finished
floor so as to allow a 5-inch wall on
all sides. Join them by mailing to-
gether the by As at the corners of
the sides and ends Do not drive the
nails home. Cross-brace with by As
and with Inch boards from each cen
trail end upright to the second side up
right.
Quickly begin filling the forms with
concrete almost wet enough to pour.
and keep it practically the same
height on all sides. Puddle the con-
crete by running long paddle up
and down next to the form. Do not
punch the earthen wall Dirt in the
concrete may make poor wall. II
The top of the earthen wall tends to
erumble, hold it back with 1-inch
boards braced against the forms. To
keep out floor water, the pit may be
extended inches above the ground by
using the lower half of 1-foot board
to hold back the dirt, by allowing the
remainder to project above the ground
level, and by adding 6 inches to the
height of the inside FORM Remove
the forms after the concrete has set
four days by first drawing the nails
in the corner by As. The pit may
be used after 10 days.
Where the manure must be stored
for a considerable length of time,
larger pits or basins are required.
