Farmers Caught Coming and Going

According to all sayings the instance of
most complete omission Is the play of
Hamlet with Hamlet left out. But there
are other similar instances-for example,
the increase In freight rates granted by
the Interstate Commerce commission. AS

how In the world the farmers came to be
left out Of that remarkable gift, estimated
to be worth annually to the railroads all
bly, more. But If you go into the figures
far enough you will SOC ind that the
farmers. are not left out-they were merely
not mentioned. They are there all right,
to the tune Of millions.
It will cost them more to get their prod

get their machinery and supplies and ma

ExiSENCY FORCED oUAKERS
TO PREPARE FOR WAR
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
About 1744 Great Britain was at war
with Spain and france. Among the
american colonies Pennsylvania was
the only one that was absolutely de-
Eenseless. The Quaker assembly re-
fused to pass a militia law, and there
was no reason why the enemies Of the
mother country could not sail up the
Delaware, land a force and devastate
the commonwealth.
Benjamin Franklin was Just coming
Into public life. He had changed the
old night Waterman system into a reg
ular police force. formed a volunteer
IRE BRIGADE. founded a public library
and established the Philosophical So
ciety. He was determined that Penn
~Bylvania should no longer be defense
less-the doctrine of nonresistance to
the contrary Notwithstanding. After
publishing a pamphlet, entitled: plain
Truth" he called a meeting Of tho
younger citizens Of Philadelphia, ha-
rangued them on the impending obllt-
Grafton OF the city by re Spaniards
and French, called for volunteers and
then n there raised a regiment OF L.
200 men. Within q very brief period
adjacent places contributed their quota,
and Pennsylvania had an organized,
drilled and accoutered militia 10000
strong.

Emmy brought in an armful of wood

She lifted the heavy case of berries
to the table and sat down to look them

I'D help you II I wasn't waiting for
Bates to come over and look at the

The grocer's boy deposited a dollars
worth of sugar on the floor and Emmy
took 1t up and put 1t in the sugar pail
on the lower pantry shelf.
"You really shouldn't" said her hus-
band.
Finally she Iugged the iron preserve
kettle to the sink for the last time and
went out for another pail of water.
IT hate to see you lift so, Emmy.
My, how many glasses have you got?
It's my favorite jam. I'll get you a
case Of cherries tomorrow" ,.. a."
Emmy went On getting up a hearty

somebody would only take suitable
care of them. He cured many merely

He also noticed that when he left the
