Arthur and His Violin,

Dear Uncle Jed: Many years ago
there was a boy whose name was Ar
thur His father was too poor to send
him to school, but his mother taught
him to read and write. and at s years
Of age he knew as much as most little
boys do. -.-
He was very fond OF music and his
father made him a violin 1t was
made Of rough boards and did not look
fine, but IL would make good music.
Arthur had TO help his father at his
work. but when he had a spare hour he
would practice on his violin It was a
long time before he could make sweet
sounds and play the tunes which he
had heard sung.

An Odd Clock.

AS all inventors are supposed to be
absent-minded, the reverse may have
been true of a certain Pennsylvania
man who turned inventor.
Disturbed in all probability because
of the fact that on several occasions
he had forgotten to wind up the eight
day clock and consequently everything
had gone wrong when the clock stop
ped, this gentleman invented and pat
ented a device by which he was re-
minded when it was his duty to wind
up the clock What very simple
device it was: At certain time an
indicator was released and popped into
view. On 1t were the words:
please wind me-"
And it stayed in sight until the
clock was wound. When the clock
was wound this indicator was carried
out of sight, to remains SO until the
time came around when it. should be
released again.

least 100 ears; and 200 is much better.
1t is still better to select some of the
same variety. Such work of the sort
should be done in the early spring be-
fore the field work demands atten-
ton. The best time to grade seed
corn is before Smelling.
The soil should be fertile and loose
to a great depth. Sand is plowed
in order to loosen it and enable wa
ter to enter in great quantities The
lard should not be too wet nor too

Poor blowing can not be done with
a good pillow. Use large plows and
plenty of power.
Corn is much use to man.
Corn flakes are used for breakfast

 The reservations received last were for fifteen New Workers and forty philadelphians, the latter comprising two parties of pleasure seekers that will tour the west before making the Northern trip.
 Az a result of the war. eastern tour ists began to make reservations as far back as last August Five weeks after the war broke out, Samuel R.
