SHOULD NOT
HAVE MOVED
Story Of a Man Who Was Max
Ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best of Him.

on May 4th, 1915, the st. Paul Farm
er's Dispatch contained a very inter
esting account Of the experiences OF q
man from Staples, MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way, he decided to look up q home
stead in Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up a homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount
ing his experiences Of few years, in
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable.
with a small amount of capital, he
continues the story by stating that
in the fall after fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses, a complete set Of
farm machinery including two wagons
and a Swell" top buggy and eleven
head of cattle. He continues, How
ever, was not satisfied. had been
reading of the splendid homesteads
that were to be had in Montana.
Wheat was cheap and l thought it
would get cheaper, so began to think
that homesteading as moneymaking
proposition was better than farming.
did not stop to consider that wheat
was not the only thing; as matter
of fact / had sold pork for IA cents a
pound. Eggs and butter had kept us
in groceries and more, we had now
four milch cows, two heifers coming in
and more growing up. We had cream
separator, and some hogs. We had a
quarter section of land that could
raise an abundance of small grain.
roots and grass for feed, but l could
not see all that; had the moving
fever, and decided to sell.
set the price on the land at $4,000
cash. l could not find anyone with
that much money, however, so came
down until finally sold for $1,400.
We had an auction and sold the per-
sonal property. On the sale we got
just about enough cash to pay the auc-
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds
what they were worth. The imple-
ments sold for hardly one-third Of
what they had cost. The cattle
brought a good price.
Must Make Another Start.
We now have homestead in Mon
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled what money
we had did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need, and a little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
of our fields. We have about $500
worth of honest debts.
True, we have half section in
place Of quarter, but that is no good
to us, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work it.
In summarizing it all up see where
l made my mistake. 1t will take fully
five years to get into as good circum-
stances as we we're before we made
the change. 1t is five years lost.
My advice to anyone contemplat-
ing change of location is to think
twice before you act, and if your pres
ent circumstances are not too bad,
stay by your bush till you pick 1t
clean. ."-Advertisement.

Cynical Recipe for Success.

Oliver Onions, author of "Mush-
room Town. ETC., recently remarked:
"A cynical friend told me the other
day that the secret Of success was to
get name for incorruptibility and
then go ahead and corrupt it for much
gold. I'm sure there's weak spot in
this somewhere, but judging from q
good many, both of writer's and poll
ticians, perhaps there's something in
it. Only unfortunately can't apply
the recipe to my own work, because
/ have too much fun writing to think
about corruption one way or the

"Gavitt-John Wesley Gavitt."

"Gavitt-John Wesley GaVitt."
"All right; of with you" said the
liberator, curtly; and with that he
shouldered the sick mans load and
fell into line in the ant procession.
Once on board the steamer, he fol-
lowed his file leader aft and made
it his first care to find a safe hiding
place for the tramp's bundle in the
knotted handkerchief. That done, he
stepped into the line again, and be-
came the sick mans substitute in fact.
It was toll of the shrewdest, and he
drew breath of blessed relief when the
last man staggered up the plank with
his burden. The bell was changing its
final summons. and the slowly revolv-
ing paddle-wheels were taking the
strain from the mooring lines. Being
near the bow line Griswold was one
Of the two who spring ashore at the
mates bidding to cast off. He was
backing the hawser out of the last of
its half-hitches, when a carriage was
driven rapidly down to the stage and
two tardy passengers hurried aboard.
The mate bawled from his station on
the hurricane deck.
Now, then! Take a turn on that
spring line out there and get them
trunks aboard! LIVELY"
The larger of the two trunks fell to
the late recruit; and when he had set
it down at the door of the designated
stateroom, he did half absently what
John Gavitt might have done without
blame: read the tacked-on card, which
bore the owners name and address,
written in firm hand Charlotte
Farnham, Wahaska, Minnesota"
Thank you," said musical voice
at his elbow. May I trouble you to
put it inside?"
Griswold wheeled as if the mild
toned request had been blow, and
was properly ashamed. But when he
saw the speaker, CONSERVATION prompt
ly slew all the other emotions. For
the owner of the tagged trunk was the
young woman to whom, an hour or so
earlier, ne had given place at the pay
ing teller's wicket in the Bayou State
Security.
She saw his confusion, charged it to
the card-reading at which she had sur
prised him, and smiled. Then he met
her gaze fairly and became sane again
when he was assured that she did not
recognize him: became sane, and
whipped off his cap, and dragged the
trunk into tae stateroom. After
which he went to his place on the
lower deck with a great thankfulness
throbbing in his heart and an inchoate
resolve shaping itself in his brain.
Late that night, when the Belle Julie
was we'll on her way up the great
river, he flung himself down upon the
sacked coffee on the engine room guard
to snatch little rest between land
ings, and the resolve became sufficient
ly cosmic to formulate itself in words.
"I'll call it an oracle" he mused.
zone place is as good as another, just
so it is inconsequent enough. And
am sure I've never heard of Wahaska.

To make kissing perfectly safe, the
secretary of the American Social Hy-
giene association recommends these
precautions: Cut out square of tis-

The first white settlement was made
Just AZ years after the discovery of
America by Columbus. and the first
buildings were mud huts matched with
straw. Then a brick kiln was made
and later tiles and bricks were import
ed from Spain. The first city was of
Spanish architecture, and that style
prevailed for more than 300 years.

have come through the passage of time

captured the then rather insignificant
capital of the Gateway to the Orient,
which has been the scene of many
strifes since that time and is now one
of the main issues of the greatest of
all wars. The Arabic peoples had been
aroused by the growth Of Mohamme-
danism. The thought that if devotee
of Islamism died for his faith he was
at once destined to translation to the
seventh heaven was paramount to all
other thoughts. Then it was that the
uprising of the Christian Latins and

No building in Buenos Aires is per-
mitted to be higher than the width of
the street upon which it is erected,
hence the skyscraper will never be-
come popular there, despite the splen-
did growth and wideawakeness of the
city. Much as this metropolis is
known, it is not generally thought of
in the light of age. However. it is one
of the oldest cities in the new world.

young man who had courteously made
way for her at the teller's wicket in
the Bayou State Security; who had

he was holding his pistol aimed at
President Galbraith.
1t was said of Charlotte Farnham
that she was sensible beyond her
years, and withal strong and straight
forward in honesty of purpose. None
the less, she was woman. And when
she saw what was before her, con-
science turned traitor and fed away
to give place to an uprush of hesitant
| doubts born of the sharp trial of the
moment.
She got upon her feet, steadying her
self by the back of her shair. She felt
that she could not trust herself if she
once admitted the thin edge Of the
wedge Of delay. The simple and
straightforward thing to do was to go
Immediately to the captain and tell him
of her discovery, but she shrank from
the thought of what must follow. They
would seize him: he had proved that
he was desperate man, and there
would be struggle. And when the
struggle was over they would bring
him to her and she would have to
stand forth as his accuser.
1t was too shocking, and she caught
at the suggestion of an alternative
with gasp Of relief. She might write
to President Galbraith, giving such a
description of the deck-hand as would
enable the officers to identify him
without her personal help. 1t was
