cry FOR FARMERS

Every farmer who owns his farm
ought to have printed stationery, with
his name, the name Of his postoifice
properly given. The printed head
ing might also give the names Of what
ever crops he specializes in. or his
specialtips in stock. Neatly printed
stationery gives you personality and
standing with any person or firm
whom you write and insures the pro
per reading of your name and address
If you wish TO write to your con-
gresham or member Of the Legisla-
turc, or if you have request to make
of your county superintendent of
schools, or if you wish information
from any business house, in any case
your letter will have increased weight
and receive more and quicker atten-
ton if you use printed stationery.
Get the habit. Come to The Times
Office and have us print you 500 sheets
OF good paper with envelopes to match
II will be one of the best investments
you ever made.

FROM MANY LANDS
(Jennie Hunt)

Bishop Whipple used to tell sto-
ry which will point moral. He call
ed upon a great New York merchant,
noted for his generosity to Christian
enterprises. and was given an oppor-
tunity Of presenting the needs of his
work in Minnesota. The merchant
received him in his private Office and
listened with interest and sympathy
to his appeal. When the Bishop had
finished he turned to his desk, and,
writing check, handed it to the
Bishop, who of course received it with
out CHANGING at its face and express
ed his thanks for the assistance rem
dercd.
At that moment an anxious attend
ant hurried in, bringing telegram,
The merchant read it with evident
perturbation, thought n moment and
turning to the Bishop said: This
message brings me the news of the
loss Of my finest ship with all her car
go. 1t is a severe blow. | must ash
you to be good enough to return the
check which just gave you"
With sinking heart the Bishop
took from his pocket the bit of folded
paper which meant so much to him
and returned it to the donor, who tore
it across and threw the pieces into the
wastebasket,
The merchant again turned to his
desk, and writing quickly in his CHECK
book. he handed the Bishop n seconc
slip of paper saying: "lf ! had gone OF
giving to God in the same ratio thai
have been doing, ] should not de
serve to have vessel left afloat.'
OF course the good Bishop never knew
the amount of the first check, but thu
second one was the most generous HI
had ever received.
