The unexpected happens about
as often as the expected fails to.
It is always surprising how much
deeper a hole is after a man gets
into it. _
A woman had rather have her

Men and women who have been
flocking to the Pacific Coast in the
eternal quest for “something
better" are quite likely to be flock
ing back again. More men are out
of employment in San Francisco
Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles
than the authorities of those glit
tering cities know what to do with.
It is human nature, of course to
seek betterment, and it is so often
human nature to find that the end
of the rainbow is just as inaccess
ible and elusive in middle age as it
was during our youthful days of
bubbling enthusiasm and credulity.
The foundation of all good farm
ing is the upbuilding of the soil.
The man who maxes his land poor
er is a poor farmer, no matter
what else he may be doing; and
our whole syatem of farming has
been a soil-robbing system. It is
time for a change. True, the
change is being made, but much
more slowly than it should be.
Naturally, suth change can only be
made by individuals, and until the
number of individual farmers who
farm for the future exceeds the
number of those who think not of
their land, but only of what they
can get out of it. we shall be on
the wrong track.—The Progressive
Farmer.

GIVEN A STRAIGHT WARNING
English Judge Resented Conversions
Being Made at Too Early Hours
of the Morning.
Judge Perry tells a story of how
Lister Drummond, the new London
magistrate, onee received a delicious
rebuke from Justice Mathew. Par
ry and Drummond were judge’s mar
shals. “1 fear we marshals,” says
Judge Parry, “must have been some
what of a trial to our respective
judges, and every now and then
Mathew put his I’ant down. One
morning we both arrived at break
fast rather later than usual. Mathew
was reading his paper and eating his
bacon alone, and looked at us in a
verv Johnsonian and surly manner,
and only grunted a reply to our
greeting. Preakfnst proceeded in si
lence until the judge had finished,
when he put down his paper and
said, ‘Whose bedroom is next to
mine?’ ‘I believe mine is, judge.’ I
said with hesitancy. ‘IT’ni! Then
who on earth was talking to you
until two in the morning?’ ‘Well,
you see,’ I replied more cheerily,
seeing a mischievous retreat, ‘it was
Drummond, but T am sure you will
approve of it when I toll you that
he wants to convert me to the holy
faith.' ‘Does he?’ roared Mathew,
hanging his fist on 1ho table and
glaring at Drummond. ‘Then you
may take it from me that if you
continue to convert Parry' in the
small hours of the morning I leav"
the church.’ ”
SEEN FROM MOWER'S SEAT
When Memory Brings Back to Man
the Thoughts and Scenes of
■> Childhood.
I would rather ride on the seat of
a mowing machine in our alfalfa
field than in the finest upholstered
parlor ear on the fines-t railway train
in the world. There are indeed
many things of interest to be seen
from my mower seat. Here l note
the place where years hack my father
laid tile drains and here again the
place where myself and my brother
laid them. The alfalfa is’splendid
then* new. Here js the place where;
we grubbed out a thicket of willowt
long ago and here I drive the mower
across the old home site, where the
old house stood when I was a little
hoy. So the old memories come back
as I sit on the mowing machine an I
drive about the field.
There are also some very instruc
tive lessons to he learned in this al
falfa field. On one part where the
soil is inclined to be light and black,
potash is needed, and where we have
applied it is splendid strong alfalfa,
and where we have not applied it the
grasses are corning and the weeds,
and the alfalfa is thinner on the
ground. The whole field is an ex
periment station and every rod of
the wav around it is of interest.

LONDON HERMIT.
There was a hermit in the center
of London only a few years ag<V ac
cording to the London Chronicle. TI is
hermitage consisted of a cellar the
sole vestige of a house in Clare mar
ket pulled down and forgotten hv
its owners, lie lived there for a
long time, supported hy scraps of
fowl from the tradesmen of the
neighborhood, and might have lived
there longer still if a journalist had
not “discovered” him. lie was in
terviewed and photographed to death,
for the workhouse authorities, nearly
next door, who had hitherto turned
a blind eye toward him. were com
pelled to oust him from his hermi
tage and make him clean and respect
able—a process to which he suc
aurabed.
ENOUGH SAID.
Customer—Has he a pedigree?
Fancier—Pedigree he hanged !
lie licked five dogs today and—
j Customer—I’ll take him,—l’uck.
We’ve got a fine story in store
for you

You are always glad to follow the example of
wise and prudent men in all things but banking.
You have not got a prosperous neighbor who does
not carry a bank book. Why don't you? Gall to
day and make a small deposit as a starter. Try it
just once and see if you don't step a little higher
