They Blamed Hard Cider.

A Missouri editor who was
brimful Of hard cider got a we'd
ding account and a sale adver-
tisement mixed, and, served to
his readers this dope:
William Smith, the only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Josiah Smith,
was disposed at auction to Lucy
Anderson on my farm one mile
east of here in the presence of
seventy guests including the fol-
lowing, to-wit: Two mules,
twelve head of cattle. The Rev
erend Jackson tied the nuptial
the least averaging 1850 pounds
on the hoof. The beautiful home
of the bride was tastefully deco
rated with a Seewash calf, a
spade, sulky rake, one iced
grinder, one, set double harness
almost new and just before the
ceremony was pronounced Men
delssohn's wedding march was
played by one mich cow five
years old, one Jersey COW, to be
fresh next April, carrying
bunch of flowers in her hand and
looking charming in gown
made of light spring wagon, two
boxes of apples, two racks OF hay,
one grindstone, mouseline deori
trimmed with about 100 bushels
of spuds. The groom is well
known and stood we'll among
society circles of twelve Berk-
shire hogs, while the bride is an
accomplished and talented school
teacher of a splendid drove of
if de-.
sired. Among the beautiful
presents were two sets Of knives
and forks, one spring harrow,
one. wheelSarrow, one go-cart,
other articles too numerous to
mention. The bridal couple left
yesterday on an extended trip,
term of twelve months time, ex-
tended to responsible parties,
otherwise spot cash luncheon will
be served at the table. After
this Mr.. and Mrs. Smith will go
to housekeeping in a coy home

OLD TIME SCHOOL HOUSE
Now Chiefly a Thing Of the Past, But
Its Memory lingers Within the
Hearts of Many.

There are some today who can
look back with warm emotion to the
life of the quaint red school houses
which once dotted the country. A
few of these one-room halls of learn
ing still stand here and there, Just
OF the dusty roadways or behind
miniature Alps in snow according to
the season. Many prominent men
and women profited by the training
OF these picturesque educational in
stltutions. Here we were taught the
three Rs and the rudiments of other
branches. The masters formed the
young minds entrusted to their care
with the aid Of the birch rod. the
Ounce cap and other primitive equip
ment The science of pedagogics Of
the period was largely based upon the
principle that ito spare the rod was
to spoil the child" It. was the day
of singing geography and the SPELL
ing bee. Handwriting and literary
style were formed upon the old
fashioned school slate. Long before
the days of hygienic equipment the
water supply consisted of pail from
which all helped themselves with the
same dipper.
The modern school is a vast ad.
vance over the methods that were en-
ployed In the little red school. And
yet the wider use of the school
plant. which would make it the CEN
ter Of community activity for civic
welfare, is only the development after
all Of the educational system which
had its first expression in that same
small. one-room, poorly equipped, I'M
lovely, but greatly loved little red
school house.-Christian Herald.

NEED is PRACTICAL LIGHT
improvements in illumination Will
Come When 1t Is Known Just
What Is Desired.

Although glare In illumination has
been described rather aptly as light
out of place" on the same principles
that dirt Is matter out of place and
condemned for that reason. the guam
titative relations of the subject are
usually entirely forgotten or misun-
derstood. Nothing is more exasper-
ating than the glare of an unshielded
arc lamp while within the field of
view and few yards off, and vet
the same lamp in the same part OF 10
field a couple of blocks away is not
in the slightest degree disturbing to
the normal eye. Moreover, a -
cheney quantity of light may become
very annoying, although it's angy ar
position in the field is such that re
it trivial in amount no one would ray
any attention to it. 1t is these qua Il
tative relations Of things that shc Z! /
be impressed on people who are work
ing with the best intentions to- I'd
ton. The public seldom realizes the
cumulative relations of things, and
when these are important should be
made to comprehend them as quickly
as it does the cumulative values BY
all means let US work toward the re-
duction of glare, but first let US ind
out from practical standpoint what
is really to be desired.-Electrical

Mad At Paint

Csc gallon for paint is about 81 so
on the average job, and lots of men
waited last year for that but they
didn't reckon !; they got mad !;
wouldn't pay it.
There are times to get mad and re-
fuse to pay but when ones property
needs protecting is no time to get mad
and pot paint.
Besides, it costs more to get mad
and wait than to paint.
Getting mad doesn't do any good
10 your property; paint does it good
by keepingsout water no water no
rot no paint, some water and rot ;
and little ros is more than enough
to make q man liberal towards his

STILL GROW ANCIENT GRAIN
Staff o. Life Made Use Of by Cave
DwelIers Is Cultivated Today In
SWtze rland.

How old is bread? Disgruntied
age of the particular bread served to
them, but that is beside the question
So long as records of civilized man
go back bread has been the staff Of
life. 1t is somewhere in the history OF
prehistoric man that man first lear III
to grind his grain, make dough and
bake it on hot stones.
In the time of neolithic man, VIII
one branch of humanity for defense
drove piles in the edges of Swiss lakes
and built huts on their tops. bread was
made. That much at least is certain.
These stone age progressfves had
learned to reap grain and probably to
cultivate it in rude way. They pos
sessed wheat of several varieties, bar.
ley, rye and other kinds. Curiously
enough, two of these prehistoric varie-
ties are still cultivated In Switzerland,
not far from where the lake dvellera
lived.
These are the BILE mottu, still grown
IN La Gruyere, and the nouette de-
Lausanne The first of these came
from the Caucasus, but no one ven,
lures to guess as to how the lake
jewellers came to have it.
Many mills have been found suited
TO make a coarse meal Of the grain.
and even fragments Of the bread have
been kept in the clay vessels that es-
capped fracture
1t is due to the lake dwellers' cus-
tom Of building their houses on piles
that we know 50 much about them.
The mud beneath their huts made am
excellent trap to preserve things foc

For a Purpose.

How do you like my arrangement
of the lights?" asked the hostess of a
lady guest at the dinner table
You mean having them of different
colors?"
Eyes. I do it for a purpose. You
see, some are blue, some red, and
some white. Well, you know, one has
to invite people to ones house whom
one perfectly detests. The other night
had to welcome the two Misses
Carr. 1 quite detest them, but you
must be friendly. They are very pref
ty, but l put each of them under a
pale blue light, and they looked per-
fectly CHASTITY. They spent very
bad quarter of an hour and l was

The hostess looked up, and grew as
red as the light above her.
The other lady looked up too.
She was under blue light!

GREEN BRANCHES AS FODDER
In the Middle Ages Hay Was compar-
atively Unknown, at Least In
England.

Hay seems to have been little known
in the middle ages. Stock was win
tered mostly on straw and leaves. Tus-
ser, who wrote in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, gives much advice to the
farmer as to the cutting and storing
of green branches, which might serve
as fodder, when pasture failed He
is particular as to the desira bility of
saving the beech cuttings for the
mich cows; whereas for sheep any
thing would do. A miserable depend
ence, it would appear to US now, but
then it seems to have been looked on,
II not as a matter of course, at least
a thing practised by the more fore
handed and capable. There must have
been some natural meadows in Eng.
land, even then, but perhaps all their
produce was saved for the horses of
kings. AS far as | can recollect, there
is no mention Of hay in Shakespeare,
if we except Bottoms remark: Good
hay. sweet hay, hath no fellow" and
even that suggests its rarity. By
Millions time, a hundred years later,
The mower whets his scythe," And
the tanned haycock in the mead" were
familiar country objects.-From

For Business Success.

If the young man of today would
observe little more closely the things
about him, always having in mind to
perfect or improve some part of the
work in which he is directly or indi-
rectly interested, his chances of sue
cess will be materially improved. In
stead of doing just the work for which
he is paid and which is expected OF
him, if he would try to do the work
of the man just ahead of him, observ.
ing how it has been done and what
chance there is for improvement, he
would not only be benefiting his en-
ployer. but laying foundation for
better and greater things for himself
Employers Of today are constantly
on the look out for promising material.
