Bitter Pill.

The night was pitchy dark; and
Robinson seemed to have been driv
ing his car round and round in circles
for some hours and hours. He hadn't
the foggiest notion where he was; in
fact, had lost his way completely. The
hour was midnight, and now It had
just begun to rain.
Robinson felt very bitter toward the
world. At length he came upon what
appeared to be signpost; though
what was written on it, try as he
would, he could not see. He shook the
post, and swore at it. But that helped
him not at all.
So. taking off his shoes, he fumbled
n his pockets and eventually brought
out box of matches. Luckily It con.
tanned q match-just one match and
no more.
Slowly and with much labor, Robin
son proceeded to climb the post; and
at the top, anxiously and carefully, he
struck the match.
What he said then cannot be print.
ed. The Pickering glare of the match
showed these three words:

Constant Criticism and FauIt-Finding

In a Child.

Unattractive, cherries homes, and
harsh, unsympathetic parents are re-
sponsible for large part of the mis-.
cry, the unhappiness. wretchedness
and crime Of the world, and the fright
fal conditions of the submerged class.
There is many poor wretch in the
failure army today who can trace his
failure and disappointment to early
encouragement. If father wants to
get the most out of his child, he can
not do it by cramping him, by watch
ing him all the time, or by criticizing
him. Children become so discouraged
by being constantly denounced, scold-
ed and perpetually reminded of their
shortcomings, that they lose conf
dence completely in themselves, and
even their self-respect.-Orison SWEET

False Teeth an Italian Invention

No doubt the statement of firm OF
manufacturers that they sell over 12,.
100000 false teeth year, is well
founded, since everyone uses them
these days. 1t seems, however, to re-
call to memory the fact that the use
of artificial teeth is just little over
a hundred years old.
The first successful maker was Gius.
sepangelo FonZi, an Italian dentist,
who started practice in Paris in 1898,
and, thanks to his skillful treatment
Of Lucien Bonaparte, soon made his
way. After years of experiment he
discovered the substance from which
artificial teeth are still made, and re-
ceived the gold medal of the French
Academy of Science One Of the earli-
est persons fitted with false teeth was
the empress of Russia. After Water.
loo Fonzi migrated to London, and
then to Madrid, where Ferdinand VII.
of Spain, rewarded him with a yearly
pension Of thousand ducats for q
set of false teeth

THE WOMAN IN THE FIELD
The Farm Woman Needs Relief
More THAI Her City Sister.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Fa mers' Union

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the woman in the factory
and behind the counter, but how about
the woman who works in the field!
/ want to say few words in her be-
half. l regret necessity that com
pels woman to work for livelihood,
and favor not only shortening her
hours, but freeing her from manual
labor entirely. l crave for society
that high standard of excellence where
the home is woman's throne and her
life is devoted to molding the char
acter and elevating the thought o.
the rising generation. But so long as
want, greed and misfortune prevail in
this world, women, through choice or
necessity, viii work, and perhaps
they will work at one task or another
as many hours per day as they please.
We may pity the weak and admire
the strong in their struggle, but the
farm woman is entitled to her share
of sympathy and reward.

All Must Toll.

The labor problem, as relates to
men, is a most veXatious one, and
when we apply it to women it becomes
more seriously complicated. We will
always have to work unless some Pc.
litical genius can put law on the
statute book that will enable US to
live without labor. So long as every
person must meet toll face to face, the
best we can do is to equitably dis
tribute the burdens and reward labor,
and if there is to be a revision of
wages and shortening of hours,
want the farm woman to get her
share. She has more reason to com
plain than any other class of toilers.
She has, as rule, fewer comforts.
fewer pleasures, less recreation and
less opportunity for enjoyment than
her sister in the city. She has not
SO many conveniences and fewer lux
uries and less to be thankful for than
women who live in the town, but she
tolls on, model of consistency, pa
tience and womanly devotion. Ger
ta:nly she should be the first to be

The Real Labor Problem Is on the
Farm.

The great dailies with flaming head
lines deplore the lot OF women who
toll in the cities, the city pulpit
thunders with sympathy for her, and
the legislators crate in her behalf
but not line is written, word said
or a speech delivered in the interest
Of the million women who labor on
the farm. Where one woman works
in the cities in Virginia, there are a
hundred mothers toiling in the field,
and no mention is made of it. Is the
woman in the city entitled to any
more consideration than the woman
on the farm? / contend that she is
not. The city woman may be more
easily restrained by legislation, and
she may have more attentive au-
dience when she cries aloud, but the
real labor problem, insofar as it re
lates to women and children, is Oh
the farm-where mother and child,
welding the hoe and gathering the
harvest, toll day in and day out With
out hope of reward.
The City Life Puny.
The farm womeL work from sun
until sun. They do their house work
and lull a half-million babes to sleep
after the chickens go to roost, and
they get breakfast and milk the cows
before the lark sings. The city wo.
man frequently chafes under hard
ships that the farm woman would
consider blessing. The city people
are great takers and ofttimes sreat
ly magnify their troubles and enlarge
their accomplishments. This charac.
teristic permeates organized society
as well as enters into the individual
life of cities. There are orphan asy
lums which are doing commemorate
work and should be encouraged, that
boast OF their accomplishments, but
l have seen widows in the country
make a crop, drink branch water and
eat corn-bread and molasses and
raise more children and better chill
Gren than many of these city orphan
asylums. The cities need to get back
to the soil with their ideals. They
are hysterical. puny and feeble in
their conception Of life, its require
ments and its opportunities.
