Here are half hundred little parallels

working capital of 1870.
Capt. Russell says a well developed
farm-a going concern'-ought to have
working capital Of at least $50 an acre.
On that basis my capital would be about
right for the eight acres. but the trouble il
that this isn't well developed farm. It
isn't anything but arun-down piece OF land

Lucullan Emporia.

From the Emporia Gazette.
Year by year Emporia has been adding
to her bill of fare. This winter will
mark the coming Of brussels sprouts and
mushrooms in the way of vegetables,
and sasabas, kumquats and pomegra-
mates in the way OF fruit. Fifteen years
ago the green stuff at the average Kan
sas table was mighty scarce. Green let
tuce from the hothouses; then came
spinach from Texas; caulitiower followed
spinach. and French carrots came after
cauliflower: green peppers trailed along
and fresh tomotoes rom Florida widen
ed the bill of fare considerably. And
now comes fresh mushrooms and brus-
sells sprouts. The winter table OF the
average country town dweller in the
middle west Is almost as good as the
summer table. So far as a mans insides
know OF the seasons II would be hard to
tell what time of the year IL is from the
character of the grub that is stocked in.

Everybody is poet-minor in the vast
majority Of cases and more often than
otherwise quite dumb. but poet never
theless in the feelings and fancies set a
stirring by the multitudinous beauty and
movement in the common world about
him. What this mute but essential poet
is seeking Is some vocal poet to sing out
the songs of familiar things. grooming so
brokeniy in his own heart. Now, left to
himself. one would never have chosen
John Kendrick Bangs to be this voice,
this vicartous poet. For somewhere some-
how he had gathered the notion that Mr.
Bangs was pretty much bent toward
pure amusement. with little or no concern
about the retfcencies Of emotion and
imagination. But something in the mere
sound of "the foothills OF Parnassus''
threw the balance his-way-ward. and the
choice was made. And now comes the
establishment and the delight. For out
from this little book come trooping poems
Of delicate fancy and great beauty, poems
of gentle voice and tender bearing. Here
"in lyric vein." I'm lighter strain" and in
deep notes they come. flashing innumer>

sizes that remind one Of Stevenson and a
playfuiness like that of Eugene Field.

Available Working Capital.

For tho past few years. living in the
city, my salary Of $1,000 a year has
barely enabled me to make ends meet.
In fact. we would have run behind had 1t
not been for the income from James
5000. We would have liked to have al
lowed this fund to accumulate. but 1t
hasn't been possible. chiefly because of
the large doctors' bills we have had for
both Jane and Marjorie. Today there is

annual interest payment Of $112.50 will
become due This will bring our available
cash up to $4s7.bO. We are determined
before we move to pay OF every cent We
owe in Washington. and that will reduce
our fund to about $500. The rent OF our
fiat has been $50 amonth. while that OF
the place in the country is only $50. But
half Of that saving will be wiped out by
extra car fare. so that 1t will amount to

that probably a majority of home owners
think it is good business policy to carry
as much on mortgage as a first trust will
stand.
/ However. that is a decision we don't
have to make right now. The thing i'm
mediately confronting us Is how to
finance the undertaking during the year
for which we have signed the lease. Since
my talk the other day with Capt. Rus

not attempt too much, 1 realize that 1
am going to have to be careful not to get

something in the way Of accomplishment
to show for it more than a little garden
patch and a few chickens for family use.
Unless we make some kind of an effort
this year we'll not be much wiser as to
the possibilities of country life than we
would be by staying in town.
Though I shall expect to begin to get
stuff from the. garden along in June,
which will be q big help, even novice
