with a guilty thrill the masterfulness
Of his tone, as well as it's real concern.
I'm often wet"
His gaze searched her face, feature
by feature, noting her pallor, the blue
black shadows beneath her eyes, the
caught breath, uneven like a child's
from crying. He still held her hands
in his.

intended to tell me by those flowers

the dark, after l read your letter.
Who told you? Your-mother?"

never have told mel"
His face lighted. With an irresist-
ible movement he caught her to him.
Shirley" he cried. ut shan't be!
1t shan't, 1 tell you! You can't break
our lives in two like this! It's un-
thinkable."

Listen. Your mother loves you.
If she knew you loved me, she would
bear anything rather than have you

She tore her hands from his and
faced him with a cry. "Ah, that is it,
You knew your father so little. He
Why, I've been all the life she has

cises only his brain and his mouth, or
the pushing of fountain pen, rock
pile looks like a mountain. The ma
iority of automobile owners, unless
they happen to be golf players, sell
dom get more than this amount of
exercise. Consequently, when they
are furnished with picks and ordered
to attack said pile of rocks their
hearts are as lead.
In Portland the automobile driver
who is caught at speed in excess of
the limit prescribed is hurried to the
police court, tried, and if found guilty
escorted to the rock pile, there to
work out his sentence. No fines are
levied. Every conviction mean a
soiourn with the pick and rock squad.
AS a result there is little or no
in Portland, a city Of 100000 people.
And, again, because there is no
speeding, there are comparatively no
automobile accidents. The record of
the last nine months shows the eff
cheney of the ordinance. 1t is hard
on the undertakers and doctors, but
it's a pleasant protection for those
residents of Portland who find it nee
essary to travel the streets on foot

PURCHASING POWER
OF FARMERS.

The purchasing power of the farm
er depends not only upon the money
value of what he produces, but also
upon the money value of what he
buys. From 1899 to 1909 census
years. the money value of one acre
of the farmers crops increased 72.7
per cent, but in the same period the
money value of the articles usually
purchased by the farmers had in
creased 12.1 per cent; consequently,
as result of the greater increase
in the price of what the farmer sold
than in the price Of what he bought,
the net increase in the purchasing
power of the produce of one acre was
50 per cent; that is, acre of the
farmers crop in 1909 could buy Sd
per cent more of the articles usually
bought by farmers than in 1899.
Upon the basis of the purchasing
power of the value of ] acre of pro-
duce, the year 1909 stands as the
most prosperous for farmers of the
past so years for which there are
records.

A GOOD THING.

The Industrial department of the
M. K & T. reports that through the
efforts of Fred L. Wenner, Secretary
of the Commercial Club, and J. A.
Fareuharson, County Farm Agent
for Logan County, a monthly sale
day has been inaugurated at Guthrie
Oklahoma A unique feature is the
provision for a sale day for farm
women.
The following account of the first
sale day is given in Mr.. Farquhar-
sons weekly report:
To-day was the first monthly
sales day of farm products. 1t was
a great success. Notwithstanding
the very disagreeable weather the
farmers were out in great numbers
and had for sale on the auction cor
ner everything from an old scythe
blade to fine pedigreed stock. Horses,
cattle, hogs and farm implements
all sold at very satisfactory prices,
and changed hands from the man
who did not need them to the one
who did Everything had to be guar
anteed from the seller to the buyer
to be as represented. The man with
out money could buy provided the
amount of the purchase was ten dol
lars or more and his note was good
at the banks.
an the ladies' and girls depart
ment, conducted by the Ladies' Aux
iliary to the Farmers Institute, there
was for sale great variety of stuff
such as fancy sewing, cooked foods
dressed chickens, canned fruits, but
ter, eggs and farm made sausage
Every thing in this department sold
for the price asked and the supply
fell far short of the demand.
"This scheme of bringing the buy
er and seller together in something
we have been planning for nearly a
year and this is the first try-out on
a large scale. 1t has been successful
beyond our expectations.
Why can't we start such a move
ment? 1t would benefit everyone. II
brings the farmers into town and
gives them cash with which to pat
ronize the local merchants. The
right kind of advertising by the mer-
chants, preceding the sale day, would
result in stores, shops and mills being
crowded by farmers and their wives
eager to secure the bargains offered
Or the other hand it would give the
town people a chance to purchase
many home made articles hard to
secure otherwise. Let's start some
thing.

LISTEN, DAUGHTER.

Listen, daughter. Your mother
tells me that you and she have been
talking over the matter of getting
a hired girl to do the Homework.
She also says that she feels sure
that you two could get along with
the work all right but that the young
fellow who is coming around here
evenings will think we are not swell
enough if he knows that you and
mother do the Homework. Don't you
worry about that. If he thinks such
stuff he is not good enough for you.
But he looks pretty good to me and
if he is half the fellow / think he is
he'll think all the more of you when
he knows that you not only know
how to cook and mend and bake, but
that you are on the job. Let's put
up a little game on him. The next
time he comes, receive him in your
kitchen apron. Tell him to amuse
himself in the parlor for moment
until you finish manicuring the sup
per dishes. l won't be here, you
know. He picks out my lodge nights
to make his calls So l won't be in
the parior to embarass him. Then,
along about ten o'clock, ask him if
he wouldn't like bite Of lunch. He'll
insist that it will be too much trouble
but you tell him he may come along
and help. Any man in the world will
fall for that. He'll trail along after
you to the kitchen. You'll have the
stage all set and the proper costumes
ready. The costumes will consist of
two aprons, one for you and one for
him. Oh, he'll put it on. If there
is anything young fellow will fall
for it's the kitchen apron and a job
doing nothing but keeping out Of the
way. Then you get the lunch ready.
Tell him to slice the bread and no
matter how he butchers it, tell him
it's fine. Ask him if he can make a
salad dressing. If he says he can,
let HIM go to it. And you praise it
to the skies Ask him for the rec
ipe Tel him you'll keep it a secret.
What would you like for wedding
present?

A "CABBY's" TRIBUTE.

We haven't his name, but it doesn't
make any difference; the "cabby"
who took strange young girl to the
Y. w. G., A. and left her there amid
friends, instead of dropping her at
a place to which she had been direct
ed by an friendly stranger on
the train, deserves public recognition
and praise.
1t didn't take "cabby" long to tum-
BILE to the facts in the case. The girl,
unsophisticated, had let it be known
she was coming to this city to find
employment. She had been directed
to two questionable places. The one
proved vacant; "cabby'' knew some
thing about the reputation of the
other. He knew, too, that his fare
was no woman of the world, and with
the concern Of a father and the kind
illness of gentleman he quietly sized
up the situation and placed the girl
among friends sud amid surround
ings clean and Wholesome, from
where she returned to her home.
1t refreshes our faith in mankind
to read of incidents like that. 1t
helps one to fight off the insinua-
tion that frequently comes from high
places that those who occupy low
stations in life do not have high ide-
ais Whether the public ever learns
who this particular "cahby" was OF
nc, he has T. tisfaction of know
ire. he paid as l...yh a tribute to clean
womanhood as es fell from the
lips Of any ore tor.-South Bend

GO TO CHURCH.
GO TO CHURCH every Sunday il

GO TO CHURCH every Sunday in
the year.
There are some men who are never
seen in church except on Christmas
Day. They seem to think that if
they go on that day their duty is
done. Occasionally they may be
seen in church during great reviv-
al. This appeal is made for these
men. 1t is possible that they have
forgotten just how to act when they
enter church. Let them learn now.
Let the man who goes to church on
Christmas day only speak truthfully.
Is he not uplifted by the sublimity of
the service? Doesn't he feel pang
because he doesn't go to divine SER
vice oftener? If he has father,
mother, brother or sister who has
departed this life the church gives
him sense of resignation in the loss
of his loved one. There is nothing
that will relieve the sorrows of this
world like the word of God in the
house of God.
Don't wait until Christmas to GO
TO CHURCH. Start now. Go next
Sunday. Go every Sunday. No mat
ter how young you are, no matter
how old, you are getting nearer the
day when you will have to face your
God.
The man who goes to church on
Christmas day only is not a bad sort.
The fact that he goes ON that day
shows that religious feeling within
him is not dead All that he needs
to make him go every Sunday is a
reminder. If he doesn't read this it
may catch the eye of you, his mother,
his sister, his wife, his sweetheart.
SHOW HIM THIS. Ask him to go
next Sunday. COAX HIM. HE'LL
GO.
Get others to GO TO CHURCH!
