good Roadway by this time, and the
fire department had big job on its
hands, but succeeded in combining the

or less by smoke and water. There
was about twenty carloads of broom
corn brush In the building, and as
the bales we're piled on end about
four tiers deep, the flremen had a
nasty fire to handle, as the sparks
from the burning roof kept falling
between the bales and starting a new
blaze. They had an all night job
fighting fire and removing the corn
from the building, and twice during
the night hot coffee and sandwiches
was sent down to them by Mrs. Nc

of the fire is not known. The corn

Someone without the fear Of God
in his heart is sending the Democrat

is entirely to short to read all of

through one occasionally we have
figured the documents as representing
the zero in intelligence. Any bunch of
lO-year old school boys who didn't
show more sense In an argument than
our senators and congress men do 10 a

beaten out of them by an irate school

man?' "Well, now, maam," mod

wound | was losing a lot OF blood
from this leg of mine, but | man
aged to crawl up to him and bound
him up rs best | could, He did the
same for me, All this, of course,
with nothing at all said between us,
for l know no German and the other
man not a word of English. When
he'd done, not seeing how else to
thank him, | just smiled, and by way
of token handed him my Glengarry,
and he smiled back and gave me his

Living and Existing

There Is vast difference between
living and just existing. To really
live, is worth while. To merely eX-
list, is bore and nuisance to ones
own self. Every one has it within
his own power largely to determine
whether he shall really live, or
whether he shall only exist,
To live, is to enjoy ones work and
take pleasure from the things around
him. To merely exist, is to hate
ones work and to despise the things
about him. Whether one enjoys or
hates his work depends largely upon
his mental condition. Whether one
takes pleasure from the things about
him, or whether he despises them,
depends largely upon the things
themselves.
Whether the things about one are
such as to cause pleasure or disgust
is within the control of ones own
self, for he can change them to meet
his own likes Therefore, whether
one shall rally live-or whether he
shall only exists within the con-
troll of each one himself.
A few simple repairs, a few quarts
of paint properly applied to the
buildings, flower bed here and
there, little care everywhere; these
are the things which will transform
farm from a place of imprisoned
and embittered existence into home
filled with happiness and content.
Let those who have been living the
life of Imprisonment in past years
make that simple and easy change
this spring.-The Farming Business.

A USELESS WASTE

When we buy at 20 cents a pound a strip of bacon or a ham that we might raise at home for 5 cents a pound, what becomes of the 15 cents a pound difference? The man who grew the meat and the middlemen get 1t you say? Quite true, but in so far as you and 1 are concerned, does mt this 15 cents a pound rep resent waste? Might we not as we'll throw the money in the fire and be done with it?
