Aid the farmer, the real farmer, will
realize that he is. aider God. the dispenser
of the bounties of Nature to his
hungry fellowmen. He will value hi?
profession accordingly.
The "fry practice cf '.he art ol
farm tug affords opportunity to
the farmer to grow to the full,
mentally and spiritually. He is
not dependent on men and things
as other men are. He is dependent
on cloud and sunshine, on the hidden
processes of life; that is, he Is dependent
on the wisdom, power and goodness
of God. He ought to be a better man
for it. Just because the farm gives this
opportunity for closer relationship with
the Lord of life, there Is a higher dignty
about this business than we have
ocmmonlv accorded it. We hare looked
at the dirty hand, and the bent back,
and we hare called the fanner uioouth
and his profession unclean. The world

Yet their reward is with them. In the

mankind is perpetually their debtor.
Your farming holds the pesslb<y
of such a career for you.

MAGIC IN GOLD AND HUMOR .
How Happy Combination of the Two j
Put End to "Run" on Famous i
English Bank.
A story Is told, with some reserva- i
tlon, by a London paper. concerning j
the grandfather of the wel!-knn\en ;
Quaker peer. Lord IVckover. The I
story goes that, during a run on the j
hank of which lie \\as a principal, at j
one time known as that of Gurtiey. (
Birkbeek. Peckover & Co.. he exhibit- j
ed. within sight of the counter, hags j
full of gold, surniount'sl by a peck (
measure, also filled \\ it li sovereigns.
"Yott see." he explained to the de- i
positors anxious to draw their bal- [
ances, "that there Is enough money
for you all, and a peck over." This is
?sj ? -? ?Q?mir?ie(t flip run. Such

is the magic of g*)ld, and of humor.
One feels by no means certain that
stacks of "fivers" would have achieved
the same happy result. Or, to revert
to the time of (leorge 111, when the
sum of twopence was represented by
a solid two-ounce coin, would a large
pile of these weighty "cartwheels"
have allayed the fears of the small
depositor? No! Not even a warehouseful

"The Woman Who Fed London."
One of the most interesting figure* [
brought into the limelight of publicity
during England's groat railway strike
was Miss E. M. Hopwood, now called
"the woman who fed London." Miss
Hopwood was secretary to a large
commercial firm in the north of England,
and her business ability wa8 so
well recognized that when the ministry
of food was organized, she was called
to the service of th< government She
scored such success In her emergency
warwork that she was appointed at

metropolitan area.
Htpa Not All Abandoned. x
Silas Threejears was watching the
grizzly bear In bis now cage to the
northwest of the lion house. A ro?
ctntly constructed chain of bear and
other animal cages there has added
Immensely to the attraction tf the
place.
Somebody threw the old grizzly a
peanut and then another, but both
nuts hit the bars and fell just outside
the cage. The bear reached his paw
through and tried to scoop the tempting
nuts in, but his long, yellow claws
seemed to be in bis way.
He had to nse his claws as a sort of
rake, and the spaces between the
prongs of his rake proved too wide,
so the peanuts slipped through.
Miss Threeyeare was most sympathetic.
The poor bear couldn't get his
peanuts. But there was yet hope. The
keeper would be around shortly with
the bear'8 dinner, and then?
"Maybe lie <-nn get it wif a fork or
a 'poon," she said.?Washington Star.
