The Worthless Man.

They said he was a never-do- weil;a vagrant, shiftless sort. Just what he did no one could tell to gain his scant support; the village loafer that was all-yet no man was his foe; moreover as we now recall-the children loved him so. A friend to every dog and child was he, this good for-naught, and though by thrifty folks reviied, his life lesson taught; even as the lilies in the field he lived, nor die he know the cares within the fu- ture sealed-and children loved him so. He'd take you-none were willinger-where first dew berries grew and, like Schehera- zard's were the stories that he knew; the famous fishing holes he d find where willow boughs dropped low philosopher, so sweet and kind, the children loved him so.

Is Your Drinking Water Pure?

Is the water in your we'll pure? If you had typhoid fever last year it vii, pay you to have the doctor send bottle of it to the state boar i.ef health to be examined.
 Have your well enclosed, 1t you possibly can. Remember that most of the typhoid-bearing water comes from springs and open wells.
 If you are not sure of the water, b il it. It is a great trouble but 1t is easier than caring for a typhoid patient.
 The unpalatable taste of boiled water is due to the fact that the boiling drives the air out of the water. Unless you have some perfectly clean, fly-proof, wide mouthed vessel to let the water stand in, pour it from one pitcher to another from a height that it may regain it's air.-The Progress i've Farmer.

Where Art Ceases.

All art is a matter of nature or life acted upon by man, part taken out of it's accidental surroundings and given artistic form. At either side of the field of true art is a waste place, where art ceases to have beauty And the waste on the enc side is reached of life that he forgets to interpret, to give artistic form, and only brings forth photographic image; while the waste on the other side is reached when the artist perfects his form but forgets to put life into it-Sheldon Cheney.

SWAT THE ROOSTER;
 SAVE THE HEN EGGS
Experiment Poultry Expert Suggests Practical Method of Preserving Eggs During Hot Months of Sum nner Season.

Eggs get very cheap in the summer to dispose of his supply, knowing that the eggs are forced down in price at this time for storage. The producers should and can enjoy the profit of their eggs. The eggs are bought at a low figure and placed in storage and held for the raise of the market The producer can do the same thing.
 Water glass is safe method for storing eggs. To Is gallons of water that has been boiled and allowed to cool. add one gallon of water, sodium silicate and stir thoroughly. Pour this solution in receptical and keep in a cool place A cellar or basement that is well ventilated is good
 Place the eggs in the solution as gathered. Do not allow the eggs to set around several days before plac- ing them in the esolution. Fill the re- cepticles with eggs to within about two inches of the top, allowing for good covering of the solution over the eggs.
 The males should be separated from the females when the eggs are placed in storage. Fertile eggs will not keep in good condition like sterile egss. Eggs that are sterile, gathered and packed promptly will keep in perfect condition for several months.
 Good recepticles are earthen jars, 50 pound lard cans or five gallon kero- sene cans with tops melted off. Any farmer can use the method as describ- ed above with safety, but he must be very careful to pack select article.
 Eggs to be packed should be can died, unless known to be perfectly fresh and even then. candling is a good precaution.

This Is Not a one.Man Job

/ TNHE President has decided to devote the
| l. next three weeks to mastering the prob

| States to the belligerents He has Cancelled
all his engagements and has let it bc known
that he will sec no political callers. He
wishes to give his undivided attention to the
matter In hand.
1t is not necessary to dwell on the criti-
csm of his own state Department involved
in this decision. Enough has already been
said and written about the amiabc inefri-
cheney of the Secretary Of State to suffice
for three weeks at any rate. Mr. Wilson
apparently understands the limitations OF
the man Mt the head Of his Cabinet And
he also understands the critical state Of
affairs growing out Of the sinking OF the
William p. Frye and the destruction Of
other American ships by the belligerents
Somebody with a broad knowledge of inter-
national law and firm grasp on the basic
principles of International relations must
take the helm or the country will be on the
rocks before we know IT,
Mr.. Wilson understands that he lis re-
sponsible for what is done, and he appar-
emily intends to be his own Foreign Minis
ter in more active sense than he has vet
been. Although he is not a specialist as
John Bassett Moore is. or as John Hay was
and as Elihu Root became he has a mind
capable of graphing with the subject. If
he can break loose from his temperamental
limitations and will accept the assistance
and the advice of the best minds in the
country he will have no difficulty in steer
Ing clear of the rocks that beset him on
every hand. While he has decided not to
receive any political callers he will be wise
If he summons to his assistance the men

The Building Boom

F A city about half the size Of Harrisburg
l. were lifted up bodily and set down in Phil
adelphia the population here would be in
creased no more than 1t actually grows every
year by small aCcretons. About 20 new fam
ilies come here every working day in the
year to make their home. The popuIatiop
grows at the rate of 600 week So when
1t is announced that 1900 new houses are
to be built this spring no one need wonder
where the families are to come from to FIJI
them The normal growth of the city re-
quires several times 14OO houses to accom-
modate 1t, provided each family occupies a
house by itself.
There has been no more favorable time in
years for building than the present Labor
is plentiful and building materials are low.
When conditions are such that from $500 to
$1,000 can be saved in the cost of a house
the whole community profits by the economy
as long as the house stands for the smaller
investment decreases the cost of living for
those who occupy It and the amount saved is
free for use in other ways. The announce
ment that 1900 houses are to be built this
spring is likely to be followed by another
that many hundred more are
TO be erected before the summer is over.

misJudges the value which these people put

business holiday, instead of doing his duty
as freeman, would willingly pay $40 rather
than be compelled to go to the polls and
stand in line until he has an opportunity to

IS not a local matter This port serves a
large territory more satisfactorily than it
can be served by any other port, and It Is
able to offer inducements to shippers and
to steamship companies unsurpassed by any
other port in the country. All that is needed
is for the energetic, optimistic men of the

The Law and the Kline

CovERNOR FGELDERs curiosity about
VI the origin of the law under which
Ephraim T. Gill will be permitted to collect
S225 apiece for his thoroughbred cattle,
KILLED by the New Jersey officers, does him
credit. The law was rushed through the
Legislature after it discovered that Mr.
Gills herd was infected with the foot and
mouth disease Without it he could have coll
lected only $3.50 a head for the animals
There is no doubt that thoroughbred cattle
are worth more than others. and the State
should pay more when they have to be
slaughtered for the protection of other stock,
IL II is to pay for any diseased cattle that
have to be destroyed But the proceeding
looks as If there had been a conspiracy to pro-
tect Mr. Gill rather than a serious attempt to
remedy defects in the law for the benefit of
every one. The case demands investigation.
