Looking ror a Job.

A man who does a great deal of
building in the suburbs of Boston
tells of a man whom he calls the
most original job seeker" he ever met.
Some weeks ago, while l was look
ing at some houses that l was build
ing in Everett, a travel-stained car
penter accosted me, and asked me to
put him to work. The mans shoes
and clothing were we'll coated with
dust, and l asked him how far he had
walked.
From Bunker Hill monument, sir"
he said.
But why from Bunker Hill monu-
ment?" l inquired.
Then his story came out. Il could
not afford to give a weeks wages to
an employment bureau, so 1 spent
my last quarter to be admitted to
Bunker Hill monument. l climbed to
the top in the hope that the view
of the surrounding country would
show me where new houses were go
ing up. l saw your partly erected
buildings and walked out here to look
for work"
That man, concluded the builder,
got work, and has proved one of the
most valuable workmen in my en-
ploy. He is still with me.-Youth's
Companion.

The fact that there is less dyspepsia

Roll Your Wheat

According to results obtained by the

yields OF winter wheat are usually in.
creased five bushels AN acre bv rolling
the fields, where necessary, in early
spring. The heavipg of the soil, due
to frost, aud the presence of large

but this process is likely to injure the
plants. If the seed bed is too compact
