WYLIE, The Good Old Farni If You own a farm hold it in your possession as you live. If you have a mortage on it do not yield to temporary discourage ments and sell out, pay off the mortgage and be free. This you can do; any tract of productive agricultural land will pay for it more than once in a decade of good times. A farm that has grown old in one family becomes the realm of sacred, happy memories; it nourishes the spirit of the past, inspires with whole ome purpose and makes a subtle plea for kindly, loving care. Think of the farm as a living hing, as sensitive abuse, as ap preciative of zealous management, is the benefactor of your ances ors, and your posterity. There is good in everything,but ,he farm is the habitat of earth's nost coveted bounties, for from it omes all that is essential to nankind. Sentimental love for the old arm, whereon your boyhood days were spent, is praise worthy; cher ish it, keep it ever alive. That which we love is capable of giving as the greatest pleasure and sat gfaction. Blessed is that man who at the ndof his earthly journey in calm happy resignation can say: "On this old farm I was born; on his kind, generons old homestead [ shall close my eyes in eternal sleep." Although this is the greedy age of old commerce, there lurks within avery healthy man a leavening orce which for want of a better iame we call sentiment. He who s without sentiment is deficient n all other noble attributes. Life s empty, devoid of a world ower, if it be without sentiment. A iaan with sentiment will. love the old farm and hold fast to it, ror it is good.-Farm and Stock, R. Joseph, Mo. A Young Mother at 70. "My mother has suddenly been made young at 70.

"You can borrow one from the Phompons next door," suggested MIrs.. Ferguson. "They never go to church." "No," he answered, with iron armness. "It is wrong to bor row umbrellas on Sunday. I hould have bought one yesterday. I shall punish myself for my carelessness by not going to church this morning."~ Thereupon he proceeded to punish himself still further by reclining in an easy chair and reading the morning pa's.

A song of national circulation, "I: the Sweet By and By." written by S Filbnore Bennett of Elkhorn, Wis., had Its birth in a country store. Mr. Ben nett told the story, which Is given in "Wisconsin In Three Centuries," as fol rows: It was about time for closing busi ness in the evening when J. P. Web ster, whose melodies have made Wis consin famous, came into the store feeling somewhat depressed. I said to Webster, "What is the mat ter now?" He replied, "It is no matter; it will be all right by and by." The Idea of the hymn came to me like a flash of sunshine, and I replied: "The sweet by and by. Why would not that make a good hymn?' "Maybe it would," he said indiffer ently. I then turned to my desk and penned tha, hymn as fast as I could write. I handed it to Mr. Webster. As he read It his eyes kindled and his whole de meanor changed. Stepping to the desk, he began writing the notes instantly. In a few moments he requested Mr. Bright to hand him his violin, and he played with little hesitation the beau tiful melody from the notes. A few moments later be had jotted down the notes for the different parts and the chorus. I do not think It was more than tir. ty minutes from the time I took my pencil to write the words before the hymn and the notes had all been com pleted and four of us were singing it exactly as it appeared in the Signet Ring a few days later and as it has been sung the world over ever since. A NAVAL REBUKE. Two Admimais, a Captain and a Fool In Manila Bar. When Dewey's fleet was at Manila the late Admiral Chichester was then , captain. On one occasion Admiral Diedrichs, the German, sent out the rene on an unrevealed errand and without the customary notification to the commander of the blockading fleet, Admiral Dewey had suffered, he thought, sufficlently from that sort of thing, and so the admiral sent a vessel icross the Irene's bows and notified 2er captain that she would not be per nitted to depart without a statement is to her destination. It was not Ad mlral Diedrichs' mission to quarrel with both the Amerlcan and the Eng Ish fleets on this critical occasion, so se sought to find out Captain Chiches ter's purpose in cace of a collision. Go. ng on board Chichester's ship, he an grily exclaimed, "Did you see what Dewey did to my ship?' "Yes," repiled Chichester. "What would you have done if it had een an English ship?' "Well," said Chichester, convenient y assuming that the Irene's captain lad sailed without orders from Die richs, "I'd have put my captain in ar 'et, and then I'd have gone on board :he Olympia and apologised to Admiral Dewey for having such a fool in comn nand of one of my ships."-Harpei's Wekly, _____ A Poet's Nomsely Paes, The poet Rogers was affieted with a ~otably uznpleasaxnt, cadaverous coui enance, which, with all his intellectual ower, was a mortideoation to him, To ide hWs annoyance, he joked about bi$s agliness incessantly and deceived his trIends Into supposing him indifferent to t. He once turned to Sydney Smith, who, with Byron and Moore, was dining with him, and said: "Chantrey wants to perpetuate this iserable face of mine. What pose would you suggest that 1 should take?' "If you really wish to spare the world is much as possible," said the wit, "I would, If I were you, be taken at my rayers, my face buried In my hands." Rogers laughed with the other per ons present, but he shot a malignant gance at the jester and, it Is said, nev ir fully forgave him for the bonmot. Thanktulne.
