Wood B. Weed and his friend. Darby
jerks, were in distinctly straitened cir
curnstances They had exhausted al
possible sources Of credit and they could
rot possibly pay their hotel bill Al
last, Darby hotly demanded that Wood
s. take immediate steps to better theil
position. Wood B. was perfectly willing
to do anything within reason. except
work, SO he asked Darby If he had any
ideas Darby had a very good idea II
was simply that Wood B. should marry
B. was delighted. The proposition ap-
peaIed at once TO his romantic and mer-
cenary instincts So he went out with
Darby to call on Amanda
Amanda was very glad to see him. So
was her father when he understood that
the Young man wanted TO marry his
daughter. But in spite of It all, Wood b.
did not make a hit. To begin with, he
was distinctly i'll at ease in the gorgeous
surroundings in which his new beloved
lived. He began by shaking hands with
the footman, and breaking magnificent
Chinese vase. Then he spilled tea on
Amanda's aunt. Finally. when Amanda s
father offered him a drink, Wood b. did
curious things with the siphon, effectually
drenching the entire party. Amanda
father quite properly ordered him out of
the house But Amanda insisted on his
staying and took him into the drawing
room. When father found Wood BIS
borrowed hat and cane in the hall he
demolished them and started for Wood B.
with q long sword.
Wood B. rushed to the pantry, and got
into the dumbwalter. By sturdy hauling
on the ropes. he managed to evade the
furious Mr.. Muggs. Finally Mr. Muggs
cut the rope. and Wood B. and the dumb
waiter fell down TO the kitchen. The chef.
excited by Mr.. Mugs ferocious pursuit
OF the dumbwaiter, stuck his head in tho
shaft just as the dumbwaiter fell. The

You may be one of those
persons who has long
dreamed about a little fam
tucked away in a smiling, fer
tile valley. If you're really in
earnest about it, you ought to
begin reading the Farms for
Sale" advertisements. Yoa-
should study poultry raising
in fact, you might expert
ment meanwhile with several
chickens in your back yard.
Don't buy roosters, however;
they can't lay eggs, while If
you buy hens you might get
a few.
1t may be somewhat early
to think about cows, but you
ought to know the differences
between a Jersey and a Hol-
stein.
Pigs? Well, you can decide
later. They're not so afec-
tionate as COWS.
Of course, you'll want a
horse. A farm isn't a farm
unless there's a horse about.
Then, you'll need operalls
and big, wide straw hat and
a pair of rubber boots.
But, seriously, any one who
has a parcel of farm land IN
good country possesses some
thing of sound and perma-
nent value. 1t is a comfort to
the mind.
Perhaps, though, you're not
thinking about the days when
you would like to settle down
comfortably. If you're young,
ambitious and eager to strike
your stride along the road of
success, spend this money on
education. Education will
broaden your ideas and your
scope; it will develop your
latent power; it will bridge
many years and much work
by giving you the benefit of
the experiences of others. The
opportunities for education
are nurnberless today. You
may use the money for col
lege, for night school, for
correspondence school, or for
special work.
