PECK’S BAB BOA’S TUOt BLEs.
“It is pretty tough when a feller
once trots a reputation for being
mean,” said the bad boy to the gro
ceryman. “Don’t you find it so in
your business? 77 and the boy held up
hi 9 elbow as though he expected to
be hit in the ear.
“I never had a reputation for
being mean, 77 said the grocery man’
“so I don’t know anything about it.
I can see, however, that it must be
very trying on you. What was you
kickiug the tomato can out of that
boy’s hand fur down the alley? If I
was that hoy’s father 1 would waliup
you till you would see stars. 77
“No you wouldn’t. If you was
that boy’s father you would come
and thank me and say I was the best
friend the hoy had,” and the bad
boy pulled a half bushel measure up
to the stove and sat down. “You
see that boy is a good boy, oue of
your sweet little angels that never
does anything wrong at home. His
parents ate very high toned, and
they wouldn’t let him play with a
had hoy like me for anything, for
fear he would be spoiled. He is po
lite to his parents, and wouldn’t say
‘darn it 7 before his folks for anything,
but he is meaner than pusley away
from home. About a week ago I
heard that he and three other boys
were in the habit of going to a low
saloon and buying stale beer and
taking it to the loft of a barn, and
drinking it on the sly, and getting
full, and having headaches, and their
parents thought the boys were sickly,
aud petted them. The boys wanted
me to go in with them and have fun
drinking beer, bull delivered them
a regular temperance lecture, and 1
went to the saloon-keeper and told
him he was doing his best to ruin
those boys, but he said it was none of
my business, and fired me out. The
boys laughed at me and said I was
an old maid, and didn’t know the
first principles of having fun. I tried
my best to convince them that they
were in danger of going to the bad.
but they hooted at me, and this
morning when I saw them going to
the barn with a tomato can full of
beer, I thought it was time some
thing was done, so I kicked the to
mato can out of the boy’s hand and
spilled the beer, and broke up that
tirunk, sure. But several nice people
who saw me kick the can called me
a wretch, and said I ought to be sent
to the reform school. I don’t care
what they say, I will put a stop to
tii oß6 boys drinking stale beer if 1
get knocked galley-west. I went to
the humane society man and told
him about the saloon-keeper and he
is going to have his license tamen
away, and if these boys put on any
more style he is going to teii their
parents. When a fellow tries to be a
reformer, aud do good, the persons
he tries to benefit go back on him,
and everybody thinks he is tough.
Say, do you think there is much en
couragement in trying to do the
fair thing? Don’t you think there is
more suspicion directed towards a
feller that tries to do good, than
there is towards one who don’t?”
“O, I don’t know,” said the gro
ceryman. “If a fellow who has been
vile, begins to do good things, people
are afraid he is not sincere, that he
has some hidden scheme whereby he
expects to reap a bent fit. If you had
always been good, it wouldn’t be
noticed so much.”
‘•That’s what I thought,” said the
boy, as he took out a lead nickel and
showed it to the grocer. “Tuesday
I was down towu, and an old farmer
was walking along in front of me,
and I saw him drop his pocket book
on the sidewalk. I yelled to him
and pointed to the pocket-book, and
told him he dropped it, but he told
me to go to the hot place. It was
April fool day, and he thought I was
fooling him, and he wont on laugh
ing, as much as to-say no town boy
could play any jokes on your uncle
Ike. Well, I picked up the pocket
book, and if was a fat one, and I fol
lowed the oil farmer, and pulled his
coat and told him here was ii is pock
et-book, but he hit me side of the jaw
and said to go away or he would
maul me. I never ft lt so mean since
my girl went back on me, but I
didn’t want to keep the old man’s
pocket-book, and I didn’t want to he
killed trying to deliver it to the own
er. So I run ahead of him and stop
ped and opened the pocket-hook, ami
when he came up I took out a roll of
bills as bigas my wrist, and showed
them to him, and asked if he knew
whose pocket-book it was. What do
yf>u think the old granger did? He
took the pocket-book with one hand
and took me by the neck with the
other, and called me a thief, and said
I ought to go to the state prison, and
he took mo into a stairway and set
me down and stood on my coat tail
so I could not get away, and kept me
until he counted ail the money in
the wallet, cussiu’ me between every
ten dollars he counted, and when he
found it was ail there, iue put the
wallet in a pocket inside his shirt
and gave me a lecture about boys
growing up to be thieves, and finally
he gave me this lead nickel, took his
foot off my coat tail and let me go,
and then tried to kick me as I ran
away. I don’t think that was right.
Only for me he would have lost his
wallet and probably gone crazy over
his loss. What do you think of that
kind of encouragement to he good?”
“Well, that granger was simply a
hard hearted old simoon, and you
ougiit to have taken the wallet to
the police station, and let him hunt
for it,” said the groceryman. “The
world is full of people who have no
gratitude, and who suspect that
everybody is a thief until they find
out to the contrary, and then they
reluctantly believe it. What this
country needs is confidence. We
want to fe. 1 that everybody is hon
est. When people go into a grocery
to buy coffee they want to believe that
they are getting pure coffee, and—”
“Yes that is all right,” said the
hoy, as he was paw ihg over some
roamed coffee in a barrel, “hut here
are quite a lot of peas, 1 notice, in
this coffee. There’s a dozen peas to
every handful. Somebody must have
cheated you, or did you put them in
yourself? 1 thought it my duty to
tell yen as you were speaking of cof
fee.” And the boy looked astonish
ed when the groceryman kicked him
out of doors, as a customer came in,
and he went oft' with his hand on his
pistol pocket, saying, “Tried to do
three decent things, stop a hoy from
drinking, return a granger his pock
et-book, and show the grocer that his
coffee was full of peas, aud I have got
kicked twice, and hated once. I)ou’t
know whether there is any money in
being good or not.”

Valuable Collection of Agricultural
Items Gathered for Farmers.
John M. Stah.il in Rural Xew-Yorker.~\
SOI YD IKB PITHY ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Underdrain.
Keep a diary.
Have a home.
Keep accounts.
Weeds are robbers.
Stick to your business.
Give stock salt regularly.
Rotate a variety of crops.
Keep sheep dry underfoot.
Plant a few trees each year.
No man can farm by proxj’.
Keep everything in its place.
Keep mauure near the surface.
Don’t sign a paper for a stranger.
Read agricultural hooks and papers.
Feed the soil with the food it needs.
Quality is as important as quantity.
Consult experienced, successful
farmers.
Never buy land till you are sure of
the title.
Use pure seed, carefully selected,
in season.
Bell when your produce is ready
for market.
Neither a chronic lender nor a bor
rower be.
Insure your property in some good
company.
Paint will cost less than new boards
and beams.
Swine plague is not “at home” in a
clover field.
Sow rye between crops for pasture
and manure.
Have well and wood shed near the
kitchen door.
The beat bank in which to deposit
is a hank of earth.
Have the least possible fencing, but
always substantial.
Do all work at the very earliest
seasonable niomenr.
The doctor will ride on if he sees
you have a good garden.
The most profitable acres are the
deepest, no! l 'e broatiesr.
The man without e hay mow is not
without a hole in tiis pocket.
Raise large crops that leave the
farm richer than they found it.
Keep out of debt. When the farm
is mortgaged it is already half lost.
Belter go to the lumber yard and
the crib than to the “cattle doctor.”
Shelter farm implements. Rust
and rot eat faster t han wear and tear.
Money spent to make the home
and farm attractive bears good inter
est.
Plan and work ahead. Bright
brains and brown hands make the
farm pay.
Judiciously concentrate all efforts
on a small area, economizing mate
rials and stock.
Ventilate stock shelters by open
ings under the eaves. Light them
by glass windows.
Select crops with reference to the
size and soil of your rarm, the cli
mate and the markets.
Color the butter before it comes
from the cow with cl jver (green or
dry) and corn-meal mush.
Farmers should seek not only to
increase their productions, hut to
save and market them better.
Never plant an orchard on un
drained land, or make a mule pasture
of it. It must be fed and tended.
A little ready cash will not wait
long for profitable u-e. Better have
money in your pockets than land un
paid for.
Pumpkins, squashes, turnips, beets,
etc., do not tako up much room while
growing, but make a big itPin in the
feed and heaith of the farm stock.
Ventilate, light and make warm
poultry houses, and don’t feed hens
all corn if you want them to lay.
Put sulphur in the dust bath. Pro
vide lime.
Lastly, cleanliness is godliness on
the farm. Clean implements, clean
harness, clean animals, clean fence
corners, clean fields, clean garden,
clean orchard, clean seeds, clean pas
ture, clean yards, clean stables, clean
shelters, clean troughs, clean food,
clean water, clean litter, clean sleep
ing quarters, cleau granaries and a
cleau conscience.
110 W TO COOK WATER.
I must tell you the old story of
how the late Charles Delmonico used
to talk about the new hot-water cure.
He said the Deltnoriicos were the
first to recommend it to guests who
complained of having no appetite
“Take a cup of hot water and a lem
on and you will feel better,” was the
formula adopted, and the cup of hot
water and lemon was simply a little
hot water with a drop of lemon juice
in it to take away the insipidity. For
this anti-bilious remedy, the caterers
Charged the price of a drink of their
best liquors—2s cents or more—and
it certainly was a wiser way to spend
small change than in alcohol. “Few
people know how to cook water,”
Charles used to affirm. “The secret
is in putting good, fresh water into
a neat kettle, already quite warm,
and setting the W’ater to boiling
?[uickly, and then taking it right off
or use in tea, coffee, ot other drinks,
before it is spoiled. To let it steam
and simmer aud evaporate until the
good water is all in the atmosphere,
the lime and iron and dregs only
left in the kettle—hah! that is what
makes a great many people sick, and
is worse than no water at all.” Every
lady who reads this valuable recipe
of a great and careful cook should
never forget how to cook water.
