The dastardly shooting of Frank l..
Polk, corporation counsel for New York,
has been somewhat overlooked in the
rush of great international events. but
it is pleasing to note that Mr.. Polk has
practically recovered from the effect of
the bullet which was intended for his
chief, Mayor Mitchell, and that he takes
the matter so calmly that he has re-
ceived the bullet set in the form of a
watch charm and was able to make light
remarks over the presentation. That
which is equally pleasing is that the
shooting has been fastened on no one
else, individual or cliques, besides the
doddering man who imagined he had a
righteous grievance against the chief
executive of New York city. Barre

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside j. M. Taylor writes an article
entitled college Students for Summer
Help" The following extract from the
article tells why many college students
like to work on farms:
"Now is the time for us to secure men
who are not only willing but eager to
work on farms. After nine months of
a steady diet of indoor brain work
these men regard any kind of physical
work in the open as pleasant vaca-
ton. They jump at the chance to do
farm work or, as the entire curriculum
of farm labor is expressed in their
vernacular, to pitch hay First and
foremost the physical labor appeals to
them, for it gives them an opportunity
to harden their muscles. Second, the
wages, though not princely, are as high
as they could expect to draw at many
another branch of labor, and they have
no board to pay. Through some strange
psychological quirk this fact that he
does not have to pay board appeals re-
markedly to the average student, per-
haps becaise board forms his heaviest
drain during the year."

A MISTAKEN idea

There are some people who still resort
to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unauthorized nourishnent in Scott s
Emulsion is eininently better, but refrain
from taking it because they fear it may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This is mistaken idea, because Scott
Emulsion first strengthens the body befor'
making flesh. Its blood-forming proper

building health from its very source, anc
flesh is formed only by its continued use

THE WAY TO BE HAPPY.
SELECTED

SELECTED
Some think it hardship to work for
their bread,
Although for our good it was meant;
But those who don't work have no right
to be fed,
And the idle are never content.
An honest employment brings pleasure
and gain.
And makes us our troubles forget;
For those who work hard have no time
to complain,
And tits better to labor than fret.
And if they had riches, they could not
procure
A happy and peaceable mind;
Rich people have trouble, as well as the
poor,
Although of a different kind.
1t signifies not what our stations have
been,
Nor whether we're little or great;
For happiness lies in the temper
within,
And not in the outward estate.
We only need labor as hard as we can,
For all that our bodies may need;
Still doing our duty to God and to man
And we shall be happy indeed.
