It is a hard thing to attempt to answer
an inquiry as to which Is the host

are many good kinds. Some kinds do
well on some soils and poorly on other

conditions of soil and climate we
would place the Warlield, Beder Wood

Clyde, tie Brandy wine, the Sample,
have many admirers. If one is going
to set out a hod the best way is to get
plants of that variety which does best
in olio's own locality; see the man who
raises the most and the best berries.

times, when the relations of man and j
wife were really very much akin to j
those of master and slave, for it seems
that the shoe was an emblem of author- !

STORY OK A COMMON K Alt M 1IOA'.
Tills young man has made a success
of himself anyway. He was the son
of a small fanner?a common country
boy?milked the cows, plowed the corn
and, freckled and barefooted, cut up
pranks at the district school. AVlien
he was eighteen ids ambition had become
aroused to know more about his
business of farming, and so he determined
if possible to secure a thorough
agricultural education at one of our
b?st colleges, lie dug away for four
years, often pinched for money, and
living a life of absolute self denial so
far as the personal pleasures common
to young men were concerned, lie was
determined to learn all he could, and
learn it thoroughly and well. So well
did he succeed that when he graduated
a place was waiting for liiui at a salary
of $1,2?K) per year as manager of a
large stock farm, and now, on his second
year, he commands a salary of
$2,0(10 and Is acquiring a wide reputation
as a stock Judge, breeder and feeder.
In a financial way he would do
even better as the manager of his own
business. lie is not quite twenty-live
years old yet nnO tils future is assured.
The point worth noting hy other boys
In his case Is that he wanted to do
something and be somebody; that he
was willing to undergo the hardships
incident to securing the education desired
and patiently and persistently labored
for the accomplishment of his
purpose. The reward in his ease was
jufi iiis sure mm just ns logical a result
as are poverty, loss of self respect
and failure the results of laziness, untlirift
and foolishness.

Mrs. Lowe, wife of Robert I .owe,

tremendous partisan whenever her hushnnil

made no pretense to any mutual liking.
At a dinner once at Lady Waldegrave's
the guests had all paired off till only
Disraeli and Mrs. Iajwc were left.
With his inscrutable smile and complete
appreciation of the humor of the
situation, Disraeli bowed and extended
his arm, "I suppose there's no help for
it, Mrs. Lowe," when both burst into
hearty laughter.
