With cotton seed bringing ninety-five cents per bushel at .he mills this tal', there is no tel ling what price may be asked next spring for planting seed.

A mossback, gentle reader IS, a cross between the fifth centu- ry and the fifteenth. He IS found in fossilized form in near ly every city in the United States and still lives. He raises his rents, detests a boom, loves to have other people bear all the taxes, hates to have a new en- terprise, despises anything which smacks of progress and won't help a newspaper boom its own town. There are several varie- nies of mossbacks, but none of much use to a town. They are as drones to hive of bees and like the industrious bee, the live business man should avoid these drones and patronize those who are an advantage to the place they reside in.

After they are thoroughly saturated the patient takes them up one at a time and rubs them briskly up and down on a washboard place d in the tub.

"PLAYING THE GAME"
Farm Life.)


Life. in a way, is a game that we
all must play, and the way we play it
makes or mars our happiness and that
Of others.
Tragedy and comedy are often sep
arated by a hair line; humOr and pa
tlOs often jostle each other, so close
they come; and tears and laughter
often blend.
1t all depends on the point of view.
III we look up. we see the moon, stars,
and beautiful clouds in the sky; If we
look down, we see the earth, the crawl
ing insects, the narrow streets, the
common things.
If we climb to the top of a high
tower. we can see beauty everywhere.
The town is a fairyland; the sea IS
wonderful mirror in which the face of
earth is reflected.
To play the game Alright, we need
the happy faculty of seeing the good
ness and wisdom of all happenings.
The knowledge that we are much bet
ter off than many; not the feeling that
we are worse off than the majority.
The bright side of the shield must
always be carried uppermost. The
rainbow at the end of the cloud must
be implicitly believed in.
We must be Mark Tapleys; never
Gradgrinds.
1t is all very simple and easy when
one has chosen and started on the
right road. An early start on the is
desirable. The morning hours are
foveliest. the most refreshing. Nature
awakes gleefully. She never sulks.
We turn our faces toward the morn
ing sun. A nights rest and fOrgetful-
ness have oblite rated the stains and
scars of the battles Of yesterday.
Sleep has knit up the ravePd sleeve
