Have you ever thought how
many hours out of every week can
be saved for yourself, your family
and vour teams by the assistance
of the telephone? if two you ever
calculated the minutes that can
bo gained in case .of sickness or
business emergencies? Have yon
ever thought of the dollars that
you might gain were you only in
close touch with markets? Can
you conceive the pleasure to be
derived from having in your
home means of i mined into com
munication with relat ions, neigh
bors or friends., though situated
mi 1(33 away?
The telephone will pay for it
self by getting better market
prices.
It will save several dollars every
month by avoiding needless trips
to town.
It will deliver and receive tele
grams and important messages
immediately and without extra
expense.
It will keep you informed on
weather predictions.
It will order repairs instantly
when machines breakdown.
It will do the visiting and make
social calls without the trouble of
“dressing up” and making a
dusty, sultry or freezing ride.
It will get a doctor on a mo
nvent’s notice, and maybe save a
loved one’s life.
It will get election returns as
soon as they are in.
It will keep away insolent
tramps and prowling burglaVs.
It will keep the boys on the
farm, and also the daughters.
It will make homo happier,
brighter and better and more de
lightful in a thousand different
ways.
Progressive farmers throughout
the country are installing tele
phones in their homes, and in the
near future every agriculturist
will have a direct means of com
munication with the outside
world. —Charlottesville Chronicle.
A Sad Love Story.
An old New England farmer’s
wife lay dying after seventy years
of life and fifty years of steady
drudgery as housekeeper and
mother. As the end grew visibly
near the husband stooped to her
ear, the tears forcing their way
from his eyes and down his rug
ged checks.
“Goo.l bye, Hannah 1 You
have always been a good wife to
me!” came with a struggling sob.
The glazed eyes opened; the
numb hand raised with a rebuke
ful gesture.
j “Then, why, in the name of
! mercy, didn’t you tell me so be-
j fore now.”
The whisper was her last breath.
I All! my brothers! ■» 1 ell the faith-
! ful, brave, overworked wives the
I blessed truth before the tonic
j comes too late to brace the spirit
j and tide nervous forces over the
| sandbars that ridge the channel

Deeds His Farm to God.
A peculiar deed lias been filed
at CartcrsviMe in which Kev. W.
II. Kerr transfers a tract of farm
land to “God the Father, Christ
the Son and the Holy Ghost for
many mercies received in hand,
paid receipt whereof is hereby
I Acknowledged,” 011 coudif-ion that
tile farm is to lie used for an or-
1 phans’ homo to be known as the
J “Kerr Orphans’ Home,” and that
the Kev. Mr. Kerr and his family
are to be the Lord’s trustrecs and
that the land is still to bo liable
for Kerr's debts. The reason for
j this peculiar deed, it is said, has
j just been revealed by a suit tiled
j by an uged couple of the name of
1 Cochran, members of Kerr’s eon-
j gregation, who charge that he de-
I frauded them out of the land in

i which he said was worth much
| more than its true value, and that
! they were led into the trade by
' their confidence in Kerr. 'They
ask to have the trade set aside and
j the land restored to them. In
i the bill filed by the Cochrans it is
charged that Kerr had 110 inten
tion of devoting the land to the
service of God, hut that lie made
the deed simply to protect him
self from the results of the fraud

I Cure For the Talking Habit.
i One part horse sense and two
parts of manly determination to
keep still. Mix with an unlimited
amount of the best quality of
thought. It is impossible for a
woman to talk all the time with
out saying a lot of tilings that she
shouldn’t or without proving a jol
ly bore to everybody about her.
This tattling habit is not confined
entirely to women, though. Some
moil have the affliction terrible.
Sometimes it’s wheat, sometimes
it’s chess, sometimes it’s baseball.
A steady diet of one kind conver
sation is always tiresome. Take
a nibble of this and a nibble of
that, and your chatter will lie
more interesting, porticnlai ly if
there are plenty of rests between
nibbles. Talking improves when
there’s silence by way of contrast.

The Editor’s Mishaps.
We are suffering from a broken
leg and we have been criticised by
gumheads for not saving it when
we could a done so, but any gen
tleman will understand our posi
tion. It was this way: We was
riding in a horseless carriage,
drawn b3 r a mule, with a jug of
ten-year-old liquor by our side.
We came to a hog wallow into
which the wheels on one side dip
ped and the buggy was overturned
throwing us out,, Our right leg
caught in the spokes of the wheel
and we could have drawn it out,
but the jug was there in jeopardy,
also, and had we saved our leg we
would have sacrificed the jug.
We saved the jug, and we did
right. Anyhow, our leg was
broken only in two places.—

“You must have a bunch of
humorists working on your
linotype machines, haven't you?”
asked the poet, according to the
Indianapolis Sun,
“Haven't noticed that any of
them have any failing in that
line,” answered the editor.
“Well, you’re a poor observer.
Do you read your own paper?”
“Occasionally. ”
“Did you rend my poem, ‘To
Agatha,’ in yesterday’s issue?”
“N—no,”
“1 thought not. In the poem 1
wrote a line which read, ‘1 love
you better than 1 love my life.’ ”
“That was a neat line.”
“And one of your linotype
humorists made it read, ‘1 love
you better than I love my wife.’ ”
“Er ”
“Exactly—my wife. And my
wife, not being acquainted with
the failing on these key thumpers,
thinks the poem was printed ex*
actly as it was written.”
For A Model
Village.
A dispatch from Asheville says
that Mr. Geo. W. Vanderbilt is to
establish a railroad station and a
model village between Hendersons
villeand Brevard, about 30 miles
from Asheville. N. C., at a cost of
$1,000,000. Mr. Vanderbilt owns
many acres of timber land around
the proposed village, and further
to the cast, toward Mount Pisgah,
are his great hunting preserves
of 80,000 acres. The Biltmore es
tate has contracts of the delivery
of the great quantity of timber
produces from this region. Mr.
Vanderbilt has expended approxi
mately $10,000,000 in Western
Carolina, and in Buncombe coun
ty lie pays taxes on something like
$1,800,000.
A Sure Remedy.
The humorist Marshal 1*. Wild-
der, was not unaturally, in the
best of spirits at his recent wedding
iu New York, says the Kansas City
Journal, One of the the things he I
said was this: :
“I am going to tell you about
an experience that an Irshman had
with a doctor. This will be up -
propriate, for the reason that my
wife is a doctor's daughter, and 1
thought seriously of studying mods
icine in my youth.
“There was an Irishman who
rushed late one night to a doctor’s
house in great haste and terror,
lie rang the doctor out of bed, Hnd
he said ncraly weeping:
“Doctor dear, my little son Pat
has swallowed a mouse. What in
the world is to tic done?”
“Swalloweda mouse, has he?,’
said the doctor gruffly. “Well go
back home and tell him to swallow
a cat.”
