there to make heaven the happier
for his coming.
Talking one day to his friend,
William Dean Howells, on the vlsi-
tudes of the humorists earlier days,
Mark Twain said: "My difficulties
taught me some thrift. but | never
knew whether II was wiser to spend
my last nickel for cigar to smoke
or for an apple to devour." 81 am
astonished," replied Mr.. Howells
THAT n person of so little decision
should meet with so much worldly
success" Mark nodded wisely. In
decision about spending money, he
said, "is worthy of cultivation. When
couldn't decide what to buy with

came rich" So Mark Twain, be.

better than if fed whole grain.
Though pigs require less salt than
other farm animals, they should be
supplied with it regularly in a trough

coal, ashes. mortar. soft coal and many
other 'crunchible" substances and a
