he says, "All right" Another comes
the same way, and another, until the
whole thousand bushels of corn la

and no one of the different persons
concerns himself about It for It
Is a small amount they owe the farmer
aud of coursre that will hot help him
any. He does not realize that the
fanner has frittered away his entire
crop of com, and that Its value Is due
lu a thousand little driblets, and that
he Is seriously embrassed in his business.
because his debtors treat It as i
ness, because bis debtors trerat it as
a little mater. But if all would pay
him promptly, which they could as
well as not, it would be a large sum
to the farmer and enable him"to carry
v ou his business without difficulty.?
See the point?
A few days ago a rather bashful
young woman went into a store carrying
three chickens. She inquired the
price of chickens and at the same time
put them on the counter. The clerk
didn't kpow the chickens feet were
tied, and asked if they would lay there.
She bit her handkerchief and said:
*- "No, sir; they are roosters."

German Squadron Crereps Upon the
North Coast of England and
| Bombards Three Cities?Many
Houses ,Wrecked.
London, Dec. 10.?For the first
time in modern history English towns
have suffered from the attack of a
foreign enemy,. .>:$
A German squadron, the sice of
which Is npt yet known, crept upon
the northeast coast of England dunight
opened fire on the towns of Scarborough,
Whitby and. Hartlepool A
distance of about 40 miles separates
the first named port from the last
This stretch of coast is about 200
miles from London.
British flotillas fere engaging the
invaders and the fortress of West
Hartlepool, off the mouth of. the rivet
Teen, fired upon simatluAHOETAOI
, Teem fired upon the enemy.
Official reports do not reveal the
number of the attacking force, nor do
they say whether the sea coast towns
4vere fired upon simultaeonsly or one
after another.
Unofficial reports reaching London
by telephone were confused and probably
exaggerated.
An eye-witness at'the seaside resor
of Scarborough estimates 50 shelli
landed in the town, enveloped It in
smoke and destroyed the Balmoaa
hotel, a number of houses and th<
railroad station
One of the Objectives of the attacl
was St. Martin's church, which wai
damaged. A woman behind the ooun
ter of a shop was killed and her hus
band was wounded.
Mesages from Hartlepool say th<
local gas works and the lumber yardi
were set afire by the shells of th<
German ships. The estimate of th<
casualties at Hartlepool, nine peopli
killed, probably is guess work ant
greatly exaggerated.
Two German (warships threw 3<
.shells into Whitby and wrecked se
veral houses, according to a mesagi
from that place.
Thousands of people witnessed ,th<
firing from Korear, across Tees Baj
from Hartlepool, according to a
message from that watering place,
pfeveral <it-i-?u)n ships were engaged
> and the fort tnorth the mouth of
the river Teees. replied . Redcnr reis>rts
also the bllef that British ship?
engaged the hostile vesels.
Scarliorough is wholly unfortified,
except for a small battery popularly
l>elieved to l?e absolute. Whitby also
is uufortiflied and Hartlepool has only
g small fort, but is a large shipping
center and temptinm to an invading
fleet.
The ruled castle on the cliff 800
feet nlK>ve the sea, together with the
. (Jrand hotel, and the tower of the manici]ial
amusement hall, made Scarborough
an easy target Onee of the
report says the old castle was shelled.
The .Clernian raiders are 400 miles
. , from the shelter of Helgoland and
the adinirality report that the situation
is "developing," gives the En
Kuan nope tnat tbe Germans will not
escape.
Making Children Think.
There is no end of discussion-as to
what courses of study shall be taken
up by the schools. Different views
are expressed, reusing from the bare
outlines of the old-time "three R's" to
the most elaborate idea of culture
study, or more 1 practical forme of
teaching hand work and home arte.
Meanwhile, there is one great essential
running for all Instruction. That
Is, that children he taught to think
things out for themselves. Almost any
course of study Is good If this power la
given.?St. Joseph News-Press.

Men at Church.
There fa something wrong when
men must he 6oaicd and bribed to go
to church like so fnai?y children, remarks
the Pittsburgh Gazette Times.
Within the last few years this country
has witnessed a recrudescence of masculine
interest in the work of the
church. Laymen are no longer content
to leavo the burden to the minis- "
ter on the plea that he is paid to bear
It. The man in the pew is coming to
realise that he is an active stockholder
in the church, with responsibilities
td discharge as well as privileges to ^
enjoy. Sensational methods of attracting
men, that tend to turn a
church Into a sort of soCIable club, are
not llke'y to be productive of lasting
benefit either to the religious institution
01 to the men themselves.
