acres Of floor space and practically

4 Many Of our presidents, even
though they serve eight years, at STA
+ 900 per year, are not able to save any
money for rainy day" but If they
Withstand the strain, almost any po-
sition in the country is offered them
after they leave Office. President Will
son has offers Of 100000 a year to
serve at the head of some Of the large
colleges and universities.
An advertisement in a Canadian
paper about the London Gasoline En-
glne. puts it this way to draw the at

A farmer lately sang the following
couplet with great feeling:
"Yader bower hut sic knecht,
Wos er dute, dute chr recht. .
Truly, Emusic hath its charms" We
have picked cherries in the shade;
we have picked cherries in the sun;
and have picked cherries with locust
3 and rose bugs trying to scratch the
back inside the shirt collar, but on
last Saturday we picked cherries I'M
der the most trying circumstances,
One of our neighbors near Town, who
would rather give fruit away than ais
low it, to go to waste, allowed us to
help ourselves. While in the tree.
filling both bucket and the inner
man at the same time, the sweet
strains of music from the farmhouse
within 25 feet, came floating to us,
hating us for nldEhent Soon mar
tial music stirred us to action, and
EWaen we were satisfied koth with
quality and quantity of fruit, we were
in no hurry to leave our enviable po-
sition. The music came from Graf
onoIa and may be the first instance
in the worlds history, when music
was furnished especially for cherry
piekers while ON actual duty.
One day last week Mr.. Charles Ho-
rich, of Greenmount, Md, had queer
experience while running his truck
from Hanover to Melrose. The wind
shield was partly open, when some
thing struck it. Part Of it came into
the truck and covered his face, neck
and shoulders, it proved to be q
4 swarm Of bees. Evidently they did not
want to start hive in the noisy ma
caine, and quickly and silently went
through the back of the machine, no
doubt, finding a more convenient
place for a home Mr.. Horich FORUM
ately was not injured, but does not
care to have many such experiences.
An old adage says
"A bee swarm in@May
Is worth a load Of hay.
A bee swarm in June,
Is worth a silver spoon.
A bee swarm in July,
Is not worth a fly.
In st. Matt "A, we read, Man
shall not live by bread alone, and we
know that we should not live to our
selves alone Does it not as we see
} the seliishness and rush for selfish
, pleasures all around us, seem so diff
, ferent to The life He led when He was
on earth. He went about, doing good
-even To- His enemies.
J Have we ever considered what an
enyiable, even if it be a dangerous,
position the president of our nation
occupies? The Government gives him
: $4,000 each year, a palatial home,
, completely furnished, rent free. Fuel
and light is free, as is the wife s
maid and his own valet. Besides this,
the upstairs work in the White House
two laundry maids, one butler, two
ehauffers, and one housekeeper, be
sides a social secretary, are all paid
FOR by the Government. If the Presi-
dents wife wants a new carpet, all
/, she needs to do is to ask for it, The
/ Marine Band, the finest in the world
is at their service. A large well-kept
green house furnishes all the flowers
they desire, and the choicest oil
grapes are at their command Even
: the stationery is free to them, as
well as the postage. The telephone
and telegraph office are in the same
: building THE MayfloWer," a 1uxu-
: riantly furnished handsome vessel
with a complete crew, is ready at the
disposal of the presidents family, at
any time during the twelvs months
of the year. The President has nc
E doctor S bills to pay. and the theatre is
: free to him at I'LL times. When he was
sick, confined to his room, the best
Movies" were brought to him
Enough money is appropriated tt
S pay the Presidents travelling expen-
: ses, and summer home is at his dis
posaI. All this will fade away as in q
dream, and, when death comes, the
t favored ones of earth. presidents and
mi1lionaires, and others, will all be
compelled to face the Great Judge
and hear the welcome words, well
Done or Depart from me, l know
! We not"
