REFUSING TO RETURN PICTURE.
Better sit still where born, I say,
Wed one sweet woman and love her

Drink sweet waters, and dream in a

In search of love, and And you at last
On the edge of the world and a cursed
outcast,
"Should a girl allow a young man
who is a frequent visitor only at her
knowing that he is a constant caller
and that he takes pain to instill in
her mind that he thinks a great deal
of her. (Often he gives her to under
stand that he thinks more of her than
of any young woman he has ever met.
For the time being he is sincere and
means what he says. But how does
she know that they may he Intended
for life partners in the near future?
He may be only a deeply interested,
friendly visitor, and actually not hav
ing considered betrothal, nor even hav
ing serious intentions, although she
has made quite an impression upon
him.
If he is a far-seeing young man, he
believes in calling constantly upon the
girl who is pleasing and makes his
visits enjoyable, concluding that he
has plenty of time and opportunity to
consider whether his heart shall be
given into her keeping or not. He
■eons over the selfish fact that, as he
<s heart-whole and fancy-free, he is
at liberty to pay attention to first one
igirl, then another, perhaps, until he
Comes to propose.
While their prospects are unsettled,
. girls should be earnestly advised not
to allow their thoughts of love to
dwell upon him captive-like. There
in lies the source of many a heartache.
During the love time, naturally, bright
young women choose a sunny day to
have their photographs taken, in their
prettiest fetching white frock and rib
bon bows, coquettish looking hats, the
•dainty costume looking too sweet for
Anything; captivating those who are
privileged to look upon the smiling
face of the picture proudly shown. The
young man takes it from her and
gazes long and rapturously at the
lovely bit of femininity the card re-
Veals, exclaiming: “I think it's per
fectly splendid I Don’t you want to let
me have one of them? I would ap
ipreciate it more than words can tell!”
This little flattery, and thinking it
/would be constantly a reminder of her,
won a hesitating consent. “Take it till
you tire of it and the subject; then
be sure and return it.” “I promise
that faithfully,” is his response, as he
pockets the photograph.

A JILTED GIRL’S CHANCE.
No one Is so accursed by fate.
No one so utterly desolate,
But some heart, though unknown,
Responds unto his own.
It has often been noticed with con
siderable wonder that the fairest of
girls to look upon has possibly been
left alone in love’s race at some one
time by a fickle lover. At the time
when he took his departure it
seemed that there was no more trying
position the wide world over for the
girl to find herself placed in than this
turn in her devotion. There is noth
ing more appalling than a faithless
lover.
She must face foes and dear ones
alike, knowing that they are scrutiniz
ing her oearing at such a time. Gos
sips, too, must come in for their share
of meddling. The girl has much cf
her proper pride and spirit left; this
has never failed in coming to her
rescue.
There were circumstances that she
-could not control which prevented her
from staying away from places where
sho would unfortunately be likely to
meet him with another whom he had
chosen. She resolves that her wisest
course to pursue is to school herself
to meet the ordeal and to get through
it bravely, holding her head high. The
| man who without just cause jilts ths :
woman who nas learned to love him
is not worthy of the least respect from
her or one heartthrob from ner bosom.
Such a man should not observe, by tne
faintest sign or word, that she nas a
remnant of love left for him in her
wronged heart or that he has the least
place in her regard. She conceals the
resentment and bitterness from show
ing, for that would but humiliate her
tho more.
Her only course to pursue is to treat
him entirely as if he were a new’comer
she knew scarcely anything of. This
would require polite indifference on
her part, a ladylike way which is plain
er than words can speak: "Your un
worthiness has not broken this heart!”
Most all men are chivalrous by nature
Few if any would be base enough to
look down upon a worthy girl for
this cause. Pity is akin to love. She
seems more beautiful and more re
fined, because of her pitiful treatment
and her return of good for evil.
Silence was golden to her. She
could not be induced to go from one
end of the town to the other and to
rake him over the coals, as he de
served. She avoided him when she
cotild. Her face wore a sweet expres
sion and she did not despise all men
on account of one man’s doing. Mr.
Right whs one of the many whom
she appealed to. He took an active
part in aiding needy charities; made
unknown contributions to the poor
and suffering. It proved best and
providential that her former lover
freed her, as it was the means of gain
ing a better and devoted husband, who
dearly appreciated her true value by
making her life rosy and happily
blest.
MERRY WIVES.
I walked in the world with the worldly;
I craved what the world never gave,
And I said: "In the world each ideal
That shines like a star on life’s wave
Is wrecked on the shores of the real
And sleeps like a dream in a grave.”
There are women whose only de
light consists in leading a merry life,
planning ahead for ever}' day and
evening’s amusement. The more they
go among gay pleasure throngs the
more they want to be in their midst.
They assume an air of sunshine and
the fragrance of roses is about them.
If their lives ever had a desire to
change into busy, important spheres
of womanhood, this dear privilege
seems denied them through their go
ings, which they cannot break away
from.
The women who have reached this
stage should not be blamed, and ex
amples of useless lives pointed out by
those who do not consider the cause
and effect of what takes them into the
path of'never-ceasing revelry. Quite
a number of these fair women who are
lovers of sport have in their hearts re
solves, thoughts, rich, mellow and of
deep appreciation for their loved ones,
the stay-at-home folks, who do not
leave the hearthstone any oftener
than they are obliged to.
Very often they are married to men
whose dispositions and fancies are
just the opposite to their own. The
regret of one or both since they wed
is that no dear little one has come to
their household to hold their devotion
within the four walls of their home.
This is the serious drawback which
has led her to seek solace and pass
away time merrily in the outside live
ly world.
The merry wife is popular and
never lacks an opportunity to push
forward as an attraction, added to ne»
alluring knack of making herself beau
tiful, together with adopting pleasing
styles. The seasons of merry wives
pass by with countless rapidity. The
first few seasons she is full of vim,
radiant over the idea that she has
taken the shine off from her young
woman rivals. Conquests by the
score she knows she has made. Bache
lors, married men, those who have
, come in contact with her, have never
missed paying homage to her merry
, moods. She expected this sort of life
’ to go on and last from one season to
another.
As they winged their swift flight by
the merry wife at length looked long
and earnestly into her faithful mir
ror, realizing the truth. Youth and its
’ purposeless years have fled; beauty
\ she can no longer boast of. It has
faded under the relentless hand of
time and artifice. With hands clinched
lightly, lips too mute for a sob, eyes
♦oo dry for a tear, she faces the in
evitable—the problem of what she had
better turn to the rest of her years,
the misspent, merry life which opened
out so rosily. She is not lonely now
in her home. She creates a new in
, terest in home and dear ones. There
is a grateful exchange of deep true
love, which experience has taught is
a wife’s only happy tie that is lasting
and full of tender sentiment and devo
tion. Husbandlike, he is glad she
took her time to find this out.

MULES SUPERIOR TO HORSES FOR WORK
Two-Year-Old Mule Colt.
Nearly everyone knows that in con
struction work in the cities where
teams are used, the mule stands alone
as the only means by which such work
can profitably be done. This being
true, it seems strange that farmers
have not seen the economy of keeping
mules instead of horses for farm work.
It is true that some farmers, scattered
here and there, have recognized their
advantages; yet, judging from the
numbei' of advertisements of mules in
the stock papers in comparison with
those of horses, it is evident that
mules are not widely used —at least
as widely as they should be.
In the first place, two horses eat as
much as three mules, while two mules
will do as much work as three horses
of the same weight. Farmers who
keep mules know they eat less than
horses, but few have probably realized
the great difference in amount of feed
consumed. In an experiment the Ne
braska station, by keeping careful
account of the rations during a, con
siderable period, found that it cost
24% cents a day to keep each horse,
and only 16% cents a day to keep each
mule, says a writer in Successful
Farming. On this basis it costs about
S9O a year to keep a horse and about
S6O a year to keep the humble mule.
When it comes to hard work, mules
are far superior to horses. They can
pull more than horses of the same
weight and can stand the strain much
longer. One breeder states that they
can pull a load almost twice as far
as a horse team dn the same length
of time. They can stand continuous
hard work much better than horses.
CAUSE OF DISEASE
AMONG LIVE STOCK
Lack of Care and Attention Is
Responsible for Much Trou
ble—Attend to Details.
Want of care is the prolific cause
of accident and disease among stock.
The master’s eye or the owner’s so
licitude are proverbially preventives
against trouble or waste; but if the
masters or the owners will not trouble
themselves to exercise the watchful
care needed, we may be sure no one
else will.
The careful farmer will never have
his teams brought ip at night without
having their legs well rubbed down,
the sweat washed off the shoulders,
then watered, the stalls well bedded
and properly fed. Old horses, care
fully handled and fed, will outlast
young horses that are badly fed and
worked. In the dairy, the least falling
off in the yield of a cow should be the
cause of Inquiry or observation until
the reason is found; for that there is
a reason we may be assured, says a
writer in Baltimore American. The
careful dairyman will have each cow’s
milk weighed and recorded at each
milking; this is the only way to find
out the profitable cows in the herd.
The feeding of the cows, sheep and
horses and hogs should be done by
the farmer or a competent hand, and
not by first one person and another.
Have regular hours for feeding, milk
ing and working. More and better
work can be done with less exertion
by man or animal.
The most prosperous farmer in our
neighborhood at a farmers’ meeting
stated that his success “was largely
owing to strict attention to little
things.” If this habit of close scrutiny
and observation becomes the rule in
stead of the exception, there will be
much less trouble and loss for farm
ers to complain of.
Fresh Air and Exercise Needed.
Breeding bulls, boars, rams and
stallions should have plenty of fresh
air, light (and exercise during the
winter. Our animals cannot develop
good bone, muscle, constitution, etc., if
they are compelled to spend the win
ter in the dark, filthy, poorly ventilat
ed pens and stables and not allowed
to exercise during the favorable
weather.
Roughage for Breeding Animals.
Clover, alfalfa and mixed hay cut
early and cured properly, are the best
kinds of roughage for breeding ani
mals of all kinds during the winter.
and have greater recuperative power.
That is, they can do hard work day
after day and still be fresh the next
day when horses are too fatigued to
work.
Mules can stand more hardships
than horses and require less care.
Indeed, it is surprising how well they
do under neglect and abuse. They
stand up much better than horses in
hot weather. They are less liable to
sickness and disease and are hardly
ever troubled with spavins. They do
not founder from over-eating. They
are patient and will do any work that
a horse can do.
Two other great advantages that
should not be overlooked by the pro
spective buyer are that mules can be
। put to light work when less than two
years old, and are useful for twenty
to thirty years.
Mules are, as a rule, gentle. They
will eat out of the same trough with
other mules and not fight. Occasional
ly, mules run away, but when they
do, they never hurt themselves as
horses do. And when running in the
pasture, they seldom get cut on barbed
wire.
A further advantage is that they
- grow more to uniform sizes and colors
than horses. If a man has a mule to
sell, he can get a better price than for
a horse, because mules are more eas
ily mated. Mules are invariably sound
and therefore marketable, while a
large majority of horses become un
sound and have to be sold at a dis
advantage. A three-year-old mule is
worth $250 and a span in their prime
, from SSOO to SBOO.
PROPER FEEDS FOR
FATTENING SWINE
Much Material May Be Gathered
Up in Fall in Orchard, Gar
den and Elsewhere.
Flesh and fat are now made at
half the cost of grain when the
weather is cold and wet. Much food
may now be gathered up in the
orchard, garden and field, which costs
little, and would otherwise be wasted.
Boil the wheat screenings from the
threshing machine with small potatoes
and mix with wheat bran; feed luke
warm to the shoats. After the slop is
eaten give a little old corn, just what
they will eat up clean. Experienced
feeders say that a better quality of
meat and at the least cost may be had
when old corn is the main grain fed
the last fattening month. Pork made
with soft corn is not cheaply made.
Keep the soft corn and nubbins for the
store shoats.
Corn fed to growing shoats, in con
nection with grass and clover will
make a better gain in proportion than
if either is fed alone. While slops are
a good feed, they should never be al
lowed to become too sour before feed
ing. An important item is to have a
dry shelter for the hogs and a clean
dry yard.
Another important matter is plenty
of pure water, wood ashes and corn
cob charcoal.
Shoats grazed during the summer
in clover and given a moderate
amount of bran and middlings made
into slop, fed slightly sour, and given
a liberal allowance of old corn and
pure water one month before butch
ering will make the choicest kind of
family meat and lard. The meat will
be firm, not over-fat, sweet and fine
grained, the fat making the best of
lard.
Plan to Induce Exercise.
Many swine breeders make a prac
tice of feeding their brood sows at
quite a ^stance from their sleeping
quarters, in order to induce them to
exercise freely; and I have found this
an excellent plan, for many sows be
’ come sluggish during pregnancy and
will not exercise unless compelled to.
Watch Sows and Litter.
Sows with a young litter should be
watched carefully, for there are many
sows that do not give enough milk to
start the pigs off well. In such cases
the youngsters should be fed a little
: 1 whole cow’s milk, warmed* at first,
■ and later skim milk, with u handful of
shorts in it

WHY "ANURIC”
IS AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATHI
Sufferers from Backache, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a nighty This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience—such as Dr. Pierce, of the
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery—
"Anuric.” Write him your symptoms
and send a sumpie of urine for test.
