His Beat Ideas.

That the American “man with the hoe” does not find the life of the farm stultifying must surely be inferred from the wordq. of an old tiller of the soil, who came across a classical volume and found in Plato a kindred spirit. The good American farmer called upon a doctor, and was ushered Into the library. At once the well-filled bookshelves drew his attention. “Are you fond of reading?” asked the doctor, noting the wandering gaze. “Well, yes,” returned the farmer, modestly. “I should be pleased to lend you a book to take home with you,” said the other. “Just take any one that you think you’d like to read.” v “Oh, I’m no good at selectin’,” replied the old man. “You pick one out, doctor.” So Lie doctor, in a spirit of fun, gave the farmer a book written by Plato. The old man went his way, and at the end of a week reappeared with the book under his arm. “Well,” queried the doctor, “did you read the book?” “Yes, I did,” was the emphatic answer.’ “And what did you think of it?” “It, was fust-rate,” responded the farmer. “I’ve read it through from klver to klver. I never heard tell of this fellow Plato before, but all the same, I’m glad to find that the old chap has been writing up some of my very best ideas.” You have heard of Swanson’s 5 DROPS Rheumatic Cure, still you are suffering from Rheumatism and other diseases that this remedy so surely cures.
