The happiest man In the land today
Is the successful farmer. Ho Bits un
der his own vine and fig tree, undis
turbed by the maddening nolbe of the
great city. HankH fall, railroads go
into the hands of receivers, booming
towns collapse, all busluess stagnates.
But' the wise farmer can snap his lin
ger at these things. He is the monarch
of all he surveys on his broad acres.
And the honesty of his boys and the
purity of his girls is guarded against
temptations, and in them he is giving
the country its best manhood and
womanhood. The farmer is to be en-
Tied, and if he is not contented with
bis lot, he is lacking in wisdom.

The pro-Taft organization is having
hard time these days in its vain en
deavor to bolster up the disheartened
Tory sentiment. It believes that thin
country has bad enough splutter about
freedom and liberty and condemns the
bo called progressive spirit that is
awceplng the country from coast to
coast. In Its eyes It Bees a contented,
prosperous and happy people becoming
soured, unrestful and discontented.
Toryism Is always surprised aud anger
ed whenever the people do not follow
the advice to let well enough alone
, and when they refuse to, .tako every
ilaaseou. Jose rof 'political trickery
Toryism sulks and loudly cries that
we are ruled by the demagogs.
As a matter of fact the great common
people arc ft long suffering people and
wlli uot revolVor InterfeVo with exist
lag conditions until those conditions
become unbearable. Mr. Common
People is the great Htand patter and
never takes a hand until he is forced
by sheer uecesslty to rise up for his
own preservation. The Democratic
party has for years sounded the warn
ing aud at last a bllud man can see
that the vested iuterests have been
overdoing tilings. The American peo
ple are awake this year and the great
est proof of that fact is the long wall
from the Tory camp. .
CM toy CM of Pittlaft m Airs
A few mouths ago the son of a Brit
ish railway director was, through his
father's iuttuence, given a position of
some importance on a large railway.
He was fresh fron Cambridge, aud
'la the orders which he from time to
tine issued to the men under him al
ways made use of the longest, most
unusual words.
This habit led tosomeratherexpenb
ive blunders, aud the matter coming
before the general manager, he wrote
the young official the following letter:
"In promulgating your esoteric cogi
tations and lu articulating our super-
cial seutlmentallties and amicable
philosophical or psychological obser
rations, beware of platitudinous pond
erosity. Let your conversational com
asunlcatiou possets a cariiled coucise
ess, a compacted cotnprehenslbleuest,
a eoale&ceut cousifcteacy, aud a conca
tenated cogency. Eschew all conglom
eration of tlatulent garrulity, jejuue
babblement, aud asinine affectation.
Let your extemporaueoas dosoantiuKs
end uaproraedltatcd expatiutlon have
Intelligibility and veracious vlvaotty
withoat rhodomontado or thrasonical
bombast. Sedulously avoid all poly
eyllabiu protuudlty, ponpois prolixity,
psittaceouu vacuity, vcutrilociual ver
bosity and vnuiloqucut vapidity. Shun
double entendre, prurient jocosity and
pestiferous profanity, obscurant, or ap
parent. In otliur words, talk plainly,
brieily, naturally, sensibly, purely uiul
truthfully. Don't put on ulrs; say
what you maun; mean what you say;
and don't use big words."
Tho young otlluiul took the gentle
bint and changed his stylo. London

Saturday Mtht
The man who goes down town Satur
day night and sees the lighted streets,
Illuminated stores and throngs of hap
py people perhaps does not stop to
think what pays for It all. It is not
paid for by taxation, for if so it would
be a burden. It is uot paid for by con
tribution, because that would uot be
practicable or possible. Rut It all
costs money, and something must pay
for It. It is paid fbr by the money
that is spent nt home.
The merchants reinvest their profits
largely lu better stocks, better stores,
and better facilities. They pay their
share of the cost of paving the street
and laying tho sidewalk, fu doing
many tilings. So it is plain to be seen
that the busy street that people enjoy
on Saturday night is paid for by them
selves, Is their money returned to them
In the shape of a better towil.
When you go into u local store and
buy goods from a local merchant, you
do, not get only the goods You get
the thrifty town, the paved streets,
tho schools which yourchlldren attend,
tho churches which preserve the moral
atmosphere of trio community, the
things you enjoy and use, which you
and the merchant and the manufactur
er pay for in common. You can bend
the money to some other town and get
the goods; but you cannot get these
other things and, even if you think
the price Is smaller, it.is larger in the
long run, since you get less in return
for your money. -
It is plainly evident, then, that the
more of your money you spend at home,
the more will you get for your money,
the quicker will the crossroads become
a village and the community a town
with all of the conveniences and none
of the inconveniences of the metropo
lis. The more money yon spend ut
home in patronizing local merchants,
in 'building a house for yourself, iu in
vesting in real estate, in dressing bet
ter aud living better and feeling bet
ter, the more will you be able to have
aud to enjoy these tiling".
Why make the futal error of hurting
your towu Instead of helping it, of
diminishing your towu instead of en
larging it, of damaging your town in
stead of improving it, since you can
not hur or hinder your town without
hurting and hindering yourself?
Why teaoh your children that the
city is the place to trade and expect to
teach them that it is not ithe place to
go'.' Why constantly encourage them,
when they marry, to leave the home
towu and settle in some larger place?
Why be the hand, to break home ties,
to seperate yourself from your children?
The more you speud at home the
more attractive will your town be to
the coming generation and the more
pleasant to yourself in your old age.
If you have friends, here is where they
are. When yoiv make a rover of your
money you make rovers of your child
ren and of yourself. You make your
town a poorer place in which to live
instead of a better one.
The money we earn let us speud in
securing the largest return for it. If
you send your children away they may
never return. If you send your mouey
away it may never corae back. Your
prosperity, your happiaWss, your chil
dren, are likely to follow your money
wherever it goes. Why not spend it
where your children will grow up with
it, where it will do you the most good
now and give you the most comfort in
the future?

botltr. Many af these glasses were
timed to run 24 hours, and prior to the
ship leaving land the glass was set ex
actly at noon. If It was carefully
watched and turned as soon as the
sand ran down the skipper could
reckon the days with fair accuracy.
