About Books.

Text-"Oh, that my words we're now
written! oh, that they were printed in
a book. Job, Xix23.
Jobs wish was fulfilled. His words
we're printed in a book. 1t is book
every one ought to read. Besides the
answer it gives to the age-old problem
of pain and suffering, 1t contains much
practical philosophy and wisdom. AS
you read 1t you get acquainted with one
of the noblest of characters and with
some of the grandest thoughts that ever
engaged the mind of man. Apart from
all this, there is no finer literature than
the Book of Job.
If you have not learned to read good
books, you have missed one of the great
est opportunities for getting acquainted
with the worlds best characters and
making companions of them and their
thoughts. Speaking of books, Farrar
said:
who can say 7 have no COM
panions'? Why, if you will, the noblest
Of all societies will welcome you. Kings
will utter to you their best thoughts
and saints sit beside you like brothers! !!
Is it nothing that at the turning of a

men eager to talk to you, orators ready
to pour forth for you their most splen-

and singing robes about them?"
II had rather be poor man in a

Macaulay.
If you can't have many books, get a

there is the Bible. Make it part of
your reading or you will miss the best

Leaving the Farm

The noisy city has charm no rustic
landscapes know, and boys and girls
desert the farm as soon as they can go.
They hate the endless round of chores
that farm folk must perform; the
grinding labors out of doors, in sunshine
and in storm. They hate to groom the
dairy stock and make the mules look
fine; they hate to rise at 8 o'clock and
feed a million swine. They hate to plow
long rows of corn throughout the weary
day, with nothing but the dinner horn
to break the routine gray. They hate
the sandburs in their hair, the stained
and rancid duds; they hate the change
less bill of fare, salt pork and greasy
SpudS. They leave the farm, the girls
and boys, regardless of dads tears, and
then. amid the citys noise, they spend
the passing years. And some Of them
will win renown and wealth and honors
high, and be credit to the town where
their possessions lie. AS they wax old
they'll sit in state IN their upholstered
chairs, and warn the youthful rustic
skate against the city's snares. II often
wish" the man will say, "I'd never left
the farm; of course have some wealth
today, but wealth's false alarm. Far
better is the rugged health that comes
from hoeing beans, than all my hardly
garnered wealth, and all that fortune
means" "Oh, girls" the aging dame
will cry, don't leaYe the dear old
grange! You let the best in life get by
when you make such a change" And
so the young still get advice in many a
wholesome hunk; yet counsel cuts but
little ice in this sad world of bunk.

pAvENpoRT BEFORE THE WINDOW PROVED sArsFAcroRY

When sofa or davenport does not
f1t into any of the wall spaces of the
room where it is wanted, the placing
of 1t becomes something of problem.
Necessity as we'll as comfort dictates
the presence of one or the other in
many small homes or apartments where
the living room has to be requisitioned
as bedroom also. Suggestions given to-
day have been carefully worked out in
regard to the commodious, overStuffed
davenport of thoroughly modern in
vention, and the old-time frame sofa
of less generous proportions and the
artistic contours which recall the fine
old cabinet makers handwork.
A leaf may be taken from the book
of one artistic homemaker confronted
with the problem of placing a grand
piano and a Sheraton sofa to the best
advantage of each. as we'll as to the
scheme of the room. It happened that
this one contained a fireplace. With an
eye to comfort as we'll as good effect,
she had the piano standing out from
a corner to the left of the fireplace, and
f1anked the fireplace side of it with the

up the color note of pottery lamp that
rested upon the piano, and the glow of

wishing to sit upon the sofa and read.

"And now I've come back here" re-
piled Billy, "and I think I'll spend the
Winter here or hereabouts.
Jerry Muskrat started to say That

satisfied to have had Billy Mink spend
the Winter somewhere else. He and
Billy get along together pretty we'll. but

easy, casual and comfortable appear
ance that is the usual result of the
right decorative arrangement.
An overstuffed davenport in a room
with little unbroken wall space may
appear to be rather hopeless PROPOSE
ton Such it seemed at first to the
woman, who decided to try an expert
ment by placing it across the bay VIM
dow of her living room. Showed close
to the window 1t looked as dreadful as
she feared, but pulled out at a little
distance from it the cramped effect was
relieved. The experiment became sue
cessful with her placing of a slender
table between the back of the daven-
port and the window, and putting O
lamp thereon. The davenport was not
of height to obscure any of the light
from the window, it was at sufficient
distance from It to be away from
draught when in use as a bed, and it
held the most attractive position pos
Sible in the room.
The placing of a sofa or davenport
directly in front of a fireplace, when
the room contains such thing, is still
done, but not to the extent that it was
awhile ago. No longer is it the in
evitable position, even when space per-
mits. The right angle position of the
sofa is in favor also and has the ad-
vantage of not obscuring the glow of
the fire from others in the room seated
elsewhere.

Iodin, iodine, Iodum and I Am
Done.

Done.
We make only dismal progress in the
movement to conserve time, space and
labor by spelling such words as iodine,
morphine, strychnine, caffeine and
atropine without the final "e." People
are very obstinate about this, particu-
larly with reference to iodin. In fact
they are mean about it-they come
back and ask whether this iodin Is the
same thing as iodine.
1t is the same thing, only spelled
economically.

to be unpleasant about it. They pur-

THE ROOF AND HE APPROVED
OF THAT HOUSE.
tickled to have Mrs. Muskrat approve of
it that he was quite willing she should
take to herself all the credit for it.
Little Joe Otter had passed along that
way and had nodded his approval OF the
new house. Spotty the Turtle had sew
eral times climbed up on the roof, and
he approved of that house. Grandfather
Frog swan over and declared that 1t
was the best house he had seen since
he lived in the Smiling Pool Rattles
the Kinghsher said that on his yearly
journeys he had chance to see many
MuSkrat houses, but this one was be-
yond all question the best ever.
All this was very flattering and Jerry
Muskrat enjoyed it. And then early
one evening came Billy Mink. It was a
long time since Billy had been around.
AS a matter of fact, Billy had been
taking one of his annual journeys. Billy
has the wandering foot. He likes to take
long journeys. But he nearly always
comes back to where he started from
and is content to stay there for while.
When Jerry first saw him Billy was
sitting on the Big Rock. Billy saw
Jerry at the same instant.
Hello, Jerry MuSkrat!" he cried.
"Where did that new house spring
from! It's a great improvement to the
Smiling Pool"
"It didn't spring from anywhere, :"
said Mrs. Muskrat, who had joined
Jerry just In time to hear Billy. I'VE
built it."
Jerry gave her a funny look, for 1t
was Jerry who had built that house
almost wholly. 80 we did, my DEAR"

Billy then plunged off the Big Rock
and swan over to Jerry's house He

Where have you been?" inquired
Jerry politely.
