“*HOW COME YE ONf%” Long ago, when boyhood’s boon was mine, I knew a man far in life’s decline, Whose daughter and wife in the church~yard lay, Whose son wore the convict garb cf gray. Digease and poverty’s cruel pinch Sapped his vitality inch by inch. Yet he ever seemed tznquil and content; Never from him was heard lament. Thus he when we meq: ““Good morning, John, ‘\'w' o How come ye on?” e : Decide and explain it, you who can! This humble, obscure and stricken man, - Whose soul was as white as his face was black, Was the possessor of wealth many rich men lack; For his serenity failed him not,. Though he was as one by the world forgot. Neglected, ill-favored, deformed was he, But his homely face appeared fair to me When he cheerily hailed: ‘“Good morning, Johny . : - How come ye on?”’ Remote are those days of joy and trust. And mine aged friend has long been dust. But oft wheh from life’s load 1 grow faint, \'Yhen open my lips to vain complaint, A" friendly nod and a kindly look— To fretful impatience a rebuke— Gleam from the mists of that cherished time; And the old man’s voice, like sweet bells’ . chime, . Calls out from the past: ““Good morning, John, How come ye on?” —John Talman, in Chicago Times-Herald.

MICKEY FINN AND § THE BUMBLE BEE By Ernest Jarrold. z S + ; (Copyright, 1909, by Doubleday & McClure Co.) As a delineator of Irish character Ernest Jarrold has had but few equals. His “Mick€y Finn'’ stories have been read throughout the entire Engilish speaking worid, and have everywhere been popular. The late C. A. Dana said of them: ‘“They contain the most admirable delineation of character; together with a rare felicity in the description of the woods and fields.” The following story is taken from one of Mr. Jarrold's books recently published by Jamieson-Higgins Co., Chicago. The air of Cooney Island palpitated with the fervent heat of a \day in July. The hot air radiated up from the meadows and the dusty road like heat from a furnace. Even the chickens sought the shade of friendly trees, and the locusts lazily chanted their midsumimer threnody as Mickey Finn came down Murray street with a tattered geography, a worn spelling book and a thumbed first reader under his arm. ; Toe boy’'s face shone from its recent application of soft soap and water, so that the freckles stood ouf like spots of brick dust on either side of his ncse. He had a stone bruise on one of his toes, angd was forced to walk on one-heel. A$ ke limped along the roadside, half a mile away in the hazy perspective he could see the Ilittle red schoolhouse in the hollow, with its monotonous suggestions of: “Can-the-dog-catch-the-cat? Yes-the-dog-can-catch-the-cat.” ¢ In fancy he heard the:dreary iteration of the schoolroom,; and saw the blank white walls-speckled with paper ‘spit-balis* He was hot and tired and dusty, and his toe hurt. Tre truth was, that he had asked his mother to permit him to stay’ away from school. and she refused to allow him to do so. Mrs. Finn's attention had been pathetically drawn | to the sore toe, and she had said that | the injured member would nct hurt him any more at school than at home. And so the boy looked Cross | and felt ugly towards the distasteful | “eddication,” swhich his mother forced | upon him. {s he limped along the | dusty road, Ble looked off over the | meadow and saw the maples and] pines in Lindsley's wood \\'hisperingl to each other, as they waved ixl the breeze which blew fresh and cool from the Hudson river. These whispers Mickey interpreted as coaxing invitations, which sounded to him as follows: “Come, little Mike, and lie under our protecting branches! Here you will find the tender birch bark and the juicy sassafras root! Upon our shady hillocks hidden by glossy ’ green leaves, hide the red wintergreen berries awaiting your coming! The tree toad will sing his little song for you, the bubbling spring is distilling a sparkling liquor ' for your thirsty lips, and the shady coverts of our sylvan dells await you!” : With these enchanting voices in his ear the temptation to play hookey was a strong one. The tempter of men came to him with the 'liquid melody -of birds, the soft wooing of fluttering leaves, the rustle of the] pine’s thin fingers, and the gurgle of brooks. And as he stood in the dusty road and looked down into the hollow at the sun beating fiercely upon the windows of the little' red school-l . house, and realized how stifling was ; the air inside, what wonder that he . hesitated! : Then the reproachful face of his i mother rose before him. As little ¢ Mike loved his mother and feared her . rebuke more than he did her heavy ; hand, the thought of -her grief im- : pelled him onward toward the school. ! But he could not shut out of his mental sight the picture of the cool paradise in the wood where the little lake rippled in the sunlight, and where, far below, ran the wide reaches of the Hudson river as it loitered ‘to the sea. And in this entrancing picture his mother’s face-was blotted ' ~out as with a sponge from the slate of his mind; the schoolhouse was forgotten and he limped eagerly toward , the stone wall to which clung the ri- ; otous wild raspberry bushes laden with fruit. Forgotten was the sore toe, lost sight of was the long, black strap hanging on the kitchen wall, and left behind was the dusty road and all the suggestions of work - On arriving at the summit of the hill little Mike turned in his tracks and looked down upon the school‘house. He saw the master come to the door and ring the bell, and his sch&olmates; scamper like corrailed sheep into the building. Then the door was shut and Mickey realized that his sin was irrevocable. He trembled, too, when he thought that he would have to make confession to the priest. But it was too late to retrace his steps. He was now in the narrow path leading to the ‘woods, He took.off his tattered cap ~and the cool fingers of the breezes ' mfl%%fmhem As - he sat down on ¢ f*#“;fl a striped - &*fl?%i palpitating, on oA Tleg s ikt S BN MO ePR s s D S Y

gers itched for his bow-gun. After hiding his books in the stone wall and covering them with dead leaves he began picking and eating raspberries until his bronzed cheeks were covered with the juices of the fruit. The scent of clover blooms and fresh grasses made his notrils dilate, and while the birds sang for him from the trees the nodding buttercups and daisies shook their heads at him and seemed to say: “Little boy, you're playing hookey!”

~ When Mickey entered the woods "he lay down upon the brown needles at the foot of the pine. trees and watched the butterflies flitting over him on yellow wings. And as he lay there the luxury of indolence stole in upon his senses and the gentle soughing of the pines fell with a soothing influence upon his ear. The drowsy hum of bees and the inarticulate voices of the wood lulled him to sleep. How long he lay there Mickey could not tell. He was rudely awakened by a big black ant which had crawled up his -itrousers‘ leg, and a great yellow, hairy caterpillar crossing the bridge of his nose. As he sat up and brushed away these insects a cat-bird in a tree near by began to ‘jeer at him with what to Mickey’'s-ex-cited fancy were the words: “Playing hookey! Playing hookey!” In some mysterious manner gladness seemed to go out of the day for little Mike at this cruel taunt. The odors of the flowers were just as sweet as they had been before, the moss at the foot of the pine trees was as vivid a green, the swallows dipped as gracefully over the field of billowy whe?t, but the charm of all this beauteous panorama was gone. His toe began to hurt again. With drooping head and limping gait, Mickey plunged deeper into the woods. At the foot of a big rock he found a spring. Lying at full length upon the sward he put his lips down to the wated and drank deep of the champagne of the woods. The reflection of his face in the spring grinned sardonically 4t him. And from the brown eyes shining from the cool depths came a reproachful gliance which seemed to say:

“The leather strap is waiting for you in the kitchen!” : All that afternoon he wandered through the woods seeking happiness, but finding none. He flew for refuge to the birch, tree, but the bark had lost all its old-time sweetness. The sassafras root which ofter had tasted like honey in his mouth now took on the flavor of worm-wood. As he retraced his steps to the stone walil where he had hidden his books the awful consciousness came to him that he would be obliged to tell a-lie in order to escape a whipping. Like a thief in the night he sneaked down the steep hiliside up which he had climbed so cheerfully in the morning, and five minutes later entered tlre shanty. So downcast was he and so furtive in manner that his mother’s attention was attracted to him. Just at this mgment a big bumble bee wearing a black velvet vest with yellow stripes blundered into the room.

_“Are ye sick, Mickey?” said his mother, solicitously. ol

*No; I'm not sick., mother,” said little Mike, “but me tce is.hurtin’ me.”

“Well, what makes ye act so quare?” .

This, was uttered in such a tone of soiicitude and with so kindly a look that little Mike's €yes began to overflow as his mother tried to *shoo” the bumbte bee out of the room. -

“I'm glad you're not a wicked little boy, Mickey, like thim Doolans,” continued Mrs. Finn. “If ye were I'd be thinkin’ that bumble bee would bé& afther stingin’ ye. Shure that’s what bumble bees does be doin"—stihgin’ little bovs fur their sins!” G

Slap went the end of Mrs. Finn's apron against the wall and away sailed the bee out of the window like an animated jewel of jet and amber. Little Mike was oppressed with fears. The haunting consciousness of wrong-doing weighed him down like the guilt of a murderer. He felt a great load taken off his conscience when the bumble bee flew out of the window, for he believed implicitly that the insect had flown into the shanty for the purpose of stinging him because he had played “hookey.” He busied himself about the yard, milking the goat and chopping wood. He was so unusually zealous and quiet in this work, that his mother’s suspicions were awakened.,

“Faix,”? said she, “I’m afeerd me little boy’s been up to mischief, he's actin’ that quare. Skure, he has berry stains on his face, an’ there's no berries at school. Musha, I'm afther thinkin’ he was playin’ hookey!” - Just then Mickey came into the shanty with another armful of wood. His mother looked at him closely, unobserved by the boy, and saw that his knees were stained with grass jnice and that to the back of his jackei clung some tell-tale pine needles. But she kept her own counsel and awaited deveiopments, satisfied - that Mickey would confess his guilt. Another armful of wood had been thrown under the stove, and little Mike looked up to catch the expected approving glance of his mother, when Mirs. Finn cri'ed‘ tn alarm: : ey

“Look out, Mickey; here comes the bumble bee fur ye!” Again the fears of the boy were awakened, and turning quickly he struck a frantic blow at the bee. This evidently angered the insect, for it avoided the blow, flew over the boy's head and stung him on the back of the neck. Having punished the truant and satisfied its vengeance the bumble bee flew out of the door. As Mrs. Finp bound & handful of mud wupon the swelling wound little Mike 'ooked up in his mother’s face, and, with trembling voice full of remorse and, pain, said in a hoarse whisper: “M-m-mother!”

~ “Yes, Mickey,” said Mrs. Finn, knowing that the time of confession had come. The boy continued with quivering lins: : ; ~ “I know why the bee s-s-tung me. Bekase I—bekase—mother—l —l—l was playin’—play—playin’ hookey!” As he hid his face in his mother's dress she stooped over him and her lips touched the bronzed, berry-stainec face in the fond kiss of forgiveness. ' As ‘her warm breath dried the brine upon his cheek the bumble bee buried itself for shame in a biue and white morning glory which hung like an infant bell over the doorway.- : :

PROFITABLE PRACTICE.

Soaking Corn for Feeding Is Said to Result in the Saving of 20 Per Cent, of Grain.

For two years we have soaked all the corn fed to hogs, whether shelled or on the ear, writes 0. C. Wiggin, Charlotte county, Va., in the Southern Planter. We were led to the practice by the reports of experiments made by the Karnsas experiment sta6N, e

I take it that the chief advantage fn soaking corn lies in the better mastication which the animals give the kernels. I find that the-teeth of pigs soon become sore when fed continuously on hard -corn. When fed on the ear, the frent teeth become so sore that they can hardly shell it. The excrements of animals fed on dry corn contain a large proportion of undigested fragments. This is apparent to the most casual observer. ¢ All last year we had been feedfng our horses and mules on soaked corn with decided gain. Many horses have a vicious habit of bolting their grain, while old animals have faulty teeth, which prevent them from crushing hard grain. .

I believe we are saving twenty per cent. of grain by this simple praetice. !

We never allow the soaked corn to become sour. It is well to have two barrels to use on alternate days. If the weather be very hot, the corn should not remain in soak more than 12 hours. In cool weather it may remain 24 hours or longer. Nothing can so certainly and quickly derange the digestive organs of any animal and throw it off its feed as sour corn or meal.

HINTS FOR HORSEMEN.

Look out for musty hay. Clean the stall flocrs daily. . Never jerk or yrank on the reins. Again the market reports a shortage in Lorses. : ;

- “Shoulder lameness” is generally in the foot. :

Heavy horseshoes and big nails are dangerous. ;

Remove warts by putting a tight rub. ber band around them.

Did you ever notice how quick ‘an illfitting shoe will take the grit out of a man? ' : ‘

Good winter colts are always profitable. Give them a warm, roomy box stall with a ground flcor.—Midland Farmer. e

Breeding Lambs for Market,

My way is to have the lambs dropped in March. At about five weeks old build a lamp creep and trough for them. Mix bran, salt and chop made of corn, oats or barley.’ In August take them away from the ewe and put them on fresh pasture. Increase their feed. Their ration is corn, oats, barley, wheat, rye and pumpkins. Their feed should be changed occasionally, as they will thrive better. Salt twice a week. or have rock salt to run to, and water also. House the lambs from every storm. Length of time to feed, two months or a little more. The best time to market is when the price is the best. The best market is flpv:ays at home. One sale at home is worth three away from home. I will never be a shipper. —Richard W. Benedict, in Ohio Farmer.

Shell the corn and soak it till soft, but not sprouted, and feed it to the sows and their pigs, scattered on the floor, where they will eat it slowly and masticate it all. But do not feed it in troughs, the sow will get the lion’s share, will bolt it to disadvantage, and the pigs’, too. Then store the cobs to be burned to charcoal later.—Barnum’s Midland Farmer,

STAY ON THE FARM.

There Is No Place on Earth Where s Man Can Enjoy Mere Free- : ‘dom or Comfort,

The question of farmers moving to town will admit of considerable discussion, but we take the side in favor of staying on the farms. There is no place on earth that man may enjoy more freedom, more fresh air, and better ‘“grub,” than right out on a quarter section of land, located at a convenient distance from good markets. - What is there more enjoyable than looking among bunches of young swine, selecting the ones you think nearer your ideal, or watching calves and colts playing in the lots, frisking about and enjoying the sunlight? What is nicer than to see a hen with a flock of young chicks all of one calor, scratching for bugs, ete., each one busy and seeming to enjoy itself to a very high degree? What farmer does not love to see crops growing, from the time they first peep above the ground until the final stage of maturity is reached? People of ripe, old age may take more enjoyment in living in town, where everything is more handy, where they have their mail more regularly, and where they are not burdened with the cares of a farmer’s life; but even this class might derive more real pleasure on the farm where there is more quiet than in town, where there is always more or less (generally more) noise, and a general hustle and bustle. Another point in favor of living on the farm is the rearing of a family of children. Notice,if you will, the strong probabilities of city boys getting into bad company, and forming such habits as their parents would blush to have them become acquainted with. While the lads of the country do not come in contact with so many of these things, yet they find out enough sometimes to do them a great amount of harm. We would not try to elevate ourselves above our friends in town, but we do believe children are more apt to form habits through evil associations in the alleys and back streets of a town life than is probable in connection with a farm life. We do not consider ourselves authority on this subject, but simply write our thoughts in connection therewith, hoping it may cause some one to pause before leaving the farm in an effort to better his condition in the world. The farmer feeds the world. Just think! All the multitudes of earth. live from the labor of the socalled ‘“hayseed,” and why should we think ourselves above such work? So I would say. stay on the farm.—W. W, Young. in Prairie Farmer.

SEED WHEAT KERNELS.

Upon Their Careful Selection Depends, in a Great Measure at Least, the Resulting Crop.

Great possibilities lie in the development of seed wheat. Constant selectio of the largest kernels will have a constant tendency to improve the seced and the resulting ¢rop. Some experiments were carried on in France to determine to what extent ‘the crop could be improved by such a selection. Yhough the process was carried on for omnly three years, the results were apparent. The experiment was tried in two directions, always selecting the largest seeds for one crop and the smallest seeds for another. At the end of three years the yield on the plats planted with the large seeds was very marked over the plats that had been planted with the small seeds. Also the large wheat grains had more vigor and developed much more rapidly than did the others, and the crop matured earlier. The same experimernter carried on at the same time a parallel experiment. He selected for one lot the grains that developed soonest on the heads, and for another lot selected the grains that matured latest on the heads. In three years he had two crops growing side by side, one of them maturing six days ahead of the other. i

The top of this box can be made watertight. It can then be left in the field with the tools in it until the work is done.—Orange Judd Farmer.

Fighting the Grain Weevil,

Is the grain in the bins troubled with weevils or other evils? Bisulphide of carbon is sure preventive of their ravages. Abomt one ounce of it is sure death to all that would be in a hundred pounds of grain and other seeds, and vials of that size just thrust down into the surface and uncorked will go to the bottom of the bin, as its fumes are heavier than air, As it is exp.osive, take care not to carry any light near it. It is also sure death to other insects and to squirrels and rats. Do not use more than the above amount. It can be purchased at almost any drug store. —Rural World. Live Stock on the Farm, If the animals on a farm are considered as customers, and everything they consume is charged against them, the value of the “home market” will be appreciated. No farmer ever fed an animal because he intends to give such food free of cost. He looks forward to the time when the animal is expected to pay for what it receives. The live stock offers a market for many articles that could not profitably be shipped. and if the animals only paid for the food they received, with no extra profit, the farmer will succeed in selling much waste material in that manner,

Every family should take the precaution to secure a supply of Peruna at once, for the retail and wholesale stock of the remedy may be exhansted by the enormous demand for it. = | ) It is wisdom to have Peruna in the house even before the grip attacks the household. - . It has been ascertained by a re;l)orte‘r_ that the following people of national reputation have given public endorsement and testimonials to Peruna as a remedy for la grippe: _ Congressman Howard, of Alabama, says: ‘I have taken Peruna for the grip and recommend it as an excellent remedy to all fellow-sufferers.” Congressman White, of North Carolina, says: ‘‘l find Peruna te de an excellent remedy for the grip. Ihave used it in my family and they all join me in recommending it.” : sa. 7 : Miss Frances M. Anderson, of Washington, D. C., daughter of Judge Anderson, of Virginia, says: ‘I was taken very ill with the grip. I took Peruna and was able to leave my bed in a week.” : Mrs. Harriette A. S. Marsh, President of the Woman’s Benevolent Association, of Chicago, writes: ‘I suffered with grip seven weeks. Nothing helped me. Tried Peruna and within three weeks I was fully restored. Shall never be without it again.” - At the appearance of the first symptoms of grip people should stay indoors and take Peruna in small doses (teaspoonful every hour) until the symptoms disappear. This will prevent a long, disastrous sickness and perhaps fatal results. ; -
