We recently visited n man who
Was a successful farmer and
stock raiser. He had, for years,
kept about the same amount Of
stock on the farm from year To-
year. We asked hiu how he
reached sucn a condition. He
replied that when he bought the
farm he estimated the amour. Of
each class Of stock il would carry
during the average years. Then.
he stocked up gradually until he
reached the limit set. After that
he kept the number which his
experience told him was the a.
mount Of stock the farm would
carry.
He quietly remarked that mer.
chants kept their stock up to the
requirements Of their business,
and he could see no good reason
why the farmer could not ap-
preach the same mark.

Next, there are those who never do .

no honors and small pay.
Next. there are those who do the right
thing only when necessity kicks them
from behind. and these get Indifference In
stead Of honors, and a. p~ittance for pay.

DISASTROUS FIRE IN
 THE ELLSWORTH STORE

Fire broke out last evening in the Ellsworth store and the fine stock of goods has almos' been completely de- : stroyed. The stock was valued at something like eight thousand dol lars and is covered only by two thousand dollar insurance, so that the loss to Mrs. Ellsworth is very severe. The cause of the fire has not been as certained. About half an hour be- fore the alarm was sent in Mir. Els worth extinguished the fire in the stove with water and the appearance of the place near the stove today in- dicates that the stove could hardly have been the cause. It is thought possible that a spark flew through a hole and down between the double boards of the partition. Water was turned in by the fire department in great volume and whatever escaped the blaze fell a victim to the flood. Much excitement was created as the wind was blowing towards the great store building of Brown X Hawkins, next door, but, fortunately, the flames were got under before injury came to anyone else. A fact worth noting in connection with the occurrence iS that the Ellsworths would have nov ed into their fine new concrete build ing in five or six days.
