1t is peculiar that so many promi-

they have respectable wives of their

NOISE ON rHE RAILROADS.

A writer in the Outlook protests against needless whistling by rail- road locomotives. He thinks most of the engineers are gentlemanly in this respect. but finds some who en- joy celebrating with their >>big trum- pet.
 There are some persons who enjoy ronsfng sleeping persons at night. As Tboys they would go through sleeping towns yelling We won't go home till 11lc.r nirles. ,saHss They regard persons in their bedsat 1nidni ght as stupid and 1e1hargic, who should wake up and enjoy sporting life. Such youths grown to manhood sometimes get control of a. railroad locomotive. They seem to enjoy rousfng the natives, and want the general public. to per ceive and admire their elation of spirits. Tn some towns property near railroad yards becomes unrent- able except at low rates.
 One of the discornforts of night traye1is constant whist ling in railroad, yards. Many people have bad nights on sleepers from this cause, who sleep quietly while the train is runnbIing along between stations.

UNCLE JOSH HAS
 493 DESCENDANTS DOWN IN ALABAMA
Youngest Child Is Fifteen, Oldest Is Great Great
 Grandfather.
Especial to The Farmer.)


 Birmingham, Ala, March 14.-The little town of Oneonta, tucked away in the foothills of Alabama's mineral district, has discovered why there are so many Smiths in this region. Uncle Josh Smith, who lives near that town, is hale and hearty at nine ty-nine, and he has 493 children, grandchildren, great-grand children, at-grandchildren. They are all still alive and will soon have a family reunion. Uncle Josh's young est child is fifteen, his oldest is a great great grandfather.
 Here is the way it runs; Uncle Josh s son, Sam Smith; his son, James Smith i; his son, Robert Smith; his son, John Smith and the 1atter's daughter, aged eight. There is still a younger son of Uncle Josh, William Smith. There is John's son, Sam; a daughter of Sam and her child, Sam, who is a grand father at the age of thirty-four.
 Uncle Josh is a parson and still breaches in the Primitive Baptist churches of his section. He is ac- tive, walks five miles any time, has a fine appetite, reads several hours a day and is still a good horseman and rifle shot.
 He came to Alabama shortly after it was admitted to the Union. His advent was thrilling. A cyclone over took him, and he sought refuge in a field where a hay pole stood. Accord ing to his story, he held to the pole and was blown around it like a whir1i- gig. Finally the pole was uprooted, but he hung on, and he and the pole were landed 300 yards away on the hillside He is living within a stones throw of the place now.

WILL LOVE HURRY IF
 FOLKS DON'T INTERFERE

L. B. c. writes: t+I am married and have three children and a quiet hus- band, goodin many ways. My people are so against him that hardly love him now as I should, It is thought g. young man who declares he's in love would be proper for me to go to en- tertainments with. He jests about eloping and phones and talks a little to me. Neighbors interest themselves as to outcome. Will love him? I have Q, good home I do Iike.''
 A wife has no business to be wick edly set against a good husband or to neglect her children and home. The testing young fellow should be severe ly. punished. Have nothing to do with him., Cling to your husband and dear children. Parents should not interfere or the future will be one of deepest re- gret for all.

But I was compelled to keep them, as my parents think the world of him and in sist it is my duty to answer his let ters. He is fond of me. Fear I could never learn to love him. Loved an other. Unfortunately we fell out. I feel could never love another. What can do to regain the affection of one Iove?''
 Be sure that your heart has the right understanding of the one you will love.

Your parents have your interest at heart. You must decide. It's likely No. 2 has a girl.

With music to play Tn the pauSeS And nobody very near.
 But being poor, we must part, dear, And love, sweet love, must die.
 Thou wilt not break thy heart, dear, No more, think, shall I.'' What woman in village or small noise and hustle does not love to read
 of the life and doings of the ladies of
 the White House? Their pleasures and pastines, the fashions they set, their balls, parties and luncheons are
 of intense interest to lives dulk and color1ess.
 Their interest is awakened fresh when man from their district is sent as congressman to Washington. His wife had been a poor girl among them, a quiet, shrinking little person. How was she to hobnob with the great la dies at Washington? It would be like stepping from one world into another.
 Her letters to the friends she has left behind here are full of wonder
 nent. She tells of her visit to the capitol, meeting the "First Lady of the Land" But she is careful not to mention the trials and mistakes she made in gaining a footing with the wives of the cabinet members. The woman who has been a stranger to so- ciety finds in the official life of Wash ington so many pitfalls that she is kept ever on the alert watching and listening.
 All the women with whom she comes in contact have different ways to which she must accustom herself. Her tact or want of it may make or mar her husbands popularity. She has her lessons to learn. She must, be very careful in her speech to the ladies in p"Vver who come to call upon her not because they like her; but because it Is their bounden duty. Etiquette in off, cia1 circles must be strictly adhered to. Her country cousin may come to visit her, yet she must not expect be- cause the congressmans' wife has the entree to the White House that she can follow her there to 1uncheons, re- captions, etc.
 Not every woman is popular who Is brought into Washington society. Gold is not the passport to favor She may come back to the village with wonder full tales of the gay life at the capital, but she takes good care not to recount the defeats in which she found herself submerged.
 There are women to whom a winter in Washington is as sweet as the air they breathe. Others look forward to 1t with dread. Men have a knack of adapting themselves to each other un- der all circumstances, especially in of cia1 Washington life. If their wives are not equally diplomatic their cup has a, drop of bitterness in it.
 It is not uncommon for the congress- mans wife who has come from se- c1uded place to be obliged to repack into her trunk the clothes she brought to wear, and to place herself entirely in the hands of a modiste who we'll knows the requirements The gayety. glitter and round of excitement cause the quietest women to gasp with de- light as they are ushered into it. To come into close contact with the First Lady of the Land'' is a privilege ac- corded to but few. They are times of never to be forgotten. No wonder women who have had a. taste of life at the White House ever afterward long for it's pleasures.

ToDAY's POEM
THE HOUSE OF DREAMS

Beyond the hills, behind the lawn across the Seventh sea- . There is moonlit garden, lass, that
 waits for you and me, Where past the river Lethe flows, and
 by its breeding streams That lovers know, the poppies blow
 it is the House of Dreams. And when our hearts are weary, and
 when our eyes are blind, With tears of silent sorrowing for loves we've left behind - Deep do we drink upon it's brink, un-
 til our fingers meet, sa And all the past is gone at last. And
 oh, the draft is sweet! The heights are high, O loce o'mine,
 beyond the wales of pain. Yet shall we seek the utmost peak
 again and yet again; The paths to God our feet have trod
 shall lead, like unto thee Beyond the hills, behind the lawn
 across the Seven seas. F Kendall Banning, in the COrnhilI .
