A young mother, announcing the
birth of her first child to a friend
in distant city, sent this telegram:
Isaiah 9, 81
1t is a Scriptual verse, begin
ning:," For unto US child is born,
unto us a son is given"
Her friend, however, was very
literal and not very familiar with
the Sculpture, 50 she interpreted
the message to her husband as.fot

Margaret evidently has a boy;
but why on earth did they name
him Isaiah? He must be healthy,
though, for he weighs nine pounds
and six ounces. New York Jour-

Good Chance for the One.Horse
Farmer,

''What is there for one-horse
farmer, if any," asks reader. 1t
all depends on the kind of man he
is. While having only one work
animal is handicap, there are
worse. For instance, we'd rather
risk making . paying crop with one
mule on rich land than to try it on
poor land with a dozen mules. Peas,
beans and the clovers can be grown
as well by the one-horse farmer as
by the larger, and crop rotations
that will build up the land are just
as easily possible with the small
fellow. Get out of the one-horse
class as soon as you can of course;
but the mere fact that you are a
one-horse farmer by no means shuts
the door of hope. One of the most
successful farmers we know, man
rated at $500, 200, started thirty
years ago with a single gray mare
and an unlimited supply of spunk.
Yes, the one-horse farmer has a
chance and a good one. Progressive

The Ready PistoI-and Liquor.

So dramatic was the scene in
Ric hmond Superior Court Monday
hen J. 7. Thompson was senten.
ced, that the Lesson" of it all will
assert itself for years and years.
Thompson had been put on trial
for murder. He had taken the life
of Marion Williams. The trial jul
ry had brought in a verdict of vol.
untary manslaughter, with mercy
recommendation. The court was
deliberating the sentence. Counsel
for the convicted man urged the
greatest leniency. Thollpson's
brother had asked short sentence.
The foreman of the trial jury added
word in Thompson's behalf
Thompson's wife and four of his
children were present. The wife
begged that her husband, who had
always been good to her and her ba-
bies, and who had consistently and
continuously toiled hard for her and
her children, be not taken away
from her. One little daughter, put
ting her arms about her father as
he stood before the court, made
mute, fearful appeal that her parent
be spared to her, for she seemed to
understand when her grief-torn mo-
ther had said: Judge, he is all I
have; all to me and the children; |
have no sisters or brothers or par
ents. / am alone in the world. Be
as light as you can on him. Spare
him to me and the children all that
you can." 1t was trying moment.
Tears were forced to the eyes of
every person IN the room.
Just before these appeals, Judge
Hammond had. stressed the les
son." That this. man had taken the
life of a fellow man; that the famil-
les of two hard working men were
in the depth of grief; that man
who had been good citizen and a
good husband and a good father
had been brought to the gate of the
penitentiary could be traced direct,
ly to two things: Liqror and the
ready pistol.
Thompson had been drinking. He
had carried his gun" in his over
coat pocket-ready at hand. But
for the liquor and the gun there
would have been no homicide. There
would have been no verdict of man,
slaughter. There would have been
no tive-year sentence-which was
finally imposed; and the life, peace
and life happiness of two familie:
would not have been destroyed.
No murder trial ever had in this
section has left an impression Sc
deep as that resulting from th'
Thompson case. Men present dur
