The activities of the Richmond organization, and the success with which Mr. Albus carried on its work, became known to the Evans ville men, and led to the offer to Mr. Albus. - Japan Not Studying Intervention in Siberia LONDON,' March 25 Count Teranchi, the premier, Informed the house of peers that the Japanese government was not studying the question of intervention in Siberia, according to a Tokio dispatch to the Daily Mail dated Wednesday.

.Back

By CHAS. JOHANNING. "I was always after father to sell the farm and move to the city, said the farmer's wife. "I just got sick, so sick of living in the country and doing without things. I wanted close neighbors and nice places to go shopping, and some stir around me, and street cars, and libraries and theaters and such. It just seemed as if I was wasting life out on the farm, with nothing to do but work. And I told father that now we're getting along in years and the children all married, we ought to think of ourselves and take some comfort. "Well, I finally got him to say he'd try a year in the city. He wouldn't sell the farm, but he found a good man to run it. And so we moved to the city. m "Well, I liked the city first rate. It just suited me. I used to turn on both the cold and hot water faucets just to see the water run, thinking of how I had to work that old pump on the farm and how we had to boil every bit of hot water m the kitchen stove. And when I wanted to cook, all I had to do was to light a match and turn a handle in the gas stove and there was my fire. And instead of wood stoves all around the house we had steam heat furnished by the janitor. My, it was fine. I just got fat on it. "But Pa, he got kind of peeved. He sat around and didn't know what to do. He didn't like the crowds in the streets and he hated street cars and he couldn't go shopping and he went to sleep in the theater and he complained he didn't see any of the old faces he was used to. "Nobody says anything to you here," he mourned. A feller might as well be a mummy." "Anyway hepeeved so and got so mournful looking, I just said we'd go back, and here we are again. "But things are going to be different. Father sees it himself and says so. We're getting Chas. Johanning, the best Plumber in Richmond, to install a Hot Water Heating Plant ready for next win ter and . father's figuring and going to have running water in the house and the barn. He says he doesn't see why we can't have a simple, useful, nice, comfortable Bath room. I guess he took notice more in the city than I thought of. Anyway he's strong now for city conveniences says he never knew how hard it was for women on the farm till he saw what could be done to make it easier. "And I've learned something, too, that I'm going to teach the country women around here. Country folks living right around the big cities need to be taught a lot about better days of living. We learned by going to the city and staying for a year, but most country folks can't do that. Knowledge has to be brought to them. As father says, out here we've got God's blessings, but we've got to learn how to apply them for man's use. Yes indeed, that year in the city did us both a heap of good."
