THE CALL OF THE COUNTRY
BY J. C. McAULlFFE
Sometimes a farmer gets the idea
that farming is monotonous and that
there is but little to do but toll. This
Impression is wrong, for the farmer
is a man of leisure compar'd to tin
man in business and commercial life
who ever amounts to anything in the
way of a success. There is no other
man under 4 the sun who can enjoy
life half so much as the farmer. The
rainy days and the time of rest never
come to any other man but the fame
er. The change of seasons and the
big crop years are events in the life
of those who dwell in the country, but
the man in the city seldom knows
the same old scheme -is followed day
after day, and when at .last the course
of life is run he is no nearer his
earthly goal than when he first begun.
But right there is where a g r eat
consolation may be gathered by the
average tiller of the aqil.
The man who lives the life he
should, close to the breast of nature,
out in God’s great realm, there is al
ways something in his fav»r. No
matter if he doe* not .accomplish what
the world calls great things, still he
may become a benefactur to mankind
and his reward will be above the
price of rubies and his lame shiue on

when such conditions prevail and it j past the limit of ages and light the
takes a stout heart to be thankful
when each night comes around, and a
brave spirit to face the day’s work
•when morning comes.
There is no monotony In the life of
the farmer. Every morning in the
springtime there is a bird to sing a
•new song, there is a new field to
plow, there Is a new task to begin
and there is a continual round of the
same old thing to comfort one day-
after .day. It is hard to think about
some of the duties that confront us in
this way. hut there is no way to
shuffle off the duties that rightfully
belong to us In life.
And There is one blame lo be at-
tacned to the average farmer. It Is
the lack of habit of thinking and plan
ning. Many of them go on without
giving any thought to what is really
best to do. Many a tliter of the soil
has a set plan that he pursues with
each day’s coming and no matter
whnt better Judgment would dictate
years or eternity^l
But it should be kept in mind that
man’s duty does not lie in effort alone
for achievement Is the thing that
counts. Still remember that there
are hundreds of eases where men mls-
measure the scale of achievement and
often it is the little things that count.
But the time is here when farmers
must take up new ideas suited to
their own communities and do some
thing to develop their section. The
man who depends on the other fellow
will come out without any honor or
profit. But there Is one good thing
about the man who perseveres, he will
get his own reward.
I don’t care where I may go, nor
what I may do, I’ll always hnve a
longing for a nieo country home,
where the breeze of heaven can float
unpolluted In purity across fields of
waving corn nnd growing cotton in
summer, and where grain nnd grass
CORRECTING MISTAKES
They will make mistakes sometimes —typewriter operators; but who won’t?
The important thing is to correct mistakes with the least possible loss of time.

the visible writing makes the error immediately apparent. Then the place for
a replacing letter is shown—right in line with the "V' shaped” notch in the type-
bar guide. No calculation is necessary
Blessings not vouchsafed to the
dwellers in mansions, often come to the
sojourners in homes, and the wanderer

in the painted lines of the old song of
“Home, Sweet Home.”

My unsatisfied heart turns and says with a sigh-

How these lines of living light shine
on the pathway of the weary and heavy
laden, making the foot paths easier to
find and pleasanter to follow, through
out the varieties and vicissitudes of the
journey of human life; all of which are
.unseen in “marble halls,” and unknown
in richly appointed “establishment,”
where only fashion rules the hour, and
folly crowds home affections to th^ wall;
where veiled faces and aching hearts

solation and decay of the “life that is
woith the living.”
lasting rocks. Every day finds them in
the same beautiful, steady and moral
firmness, Men look to them with con
fidence that knows no doubt. They are
fearless and brave, they have but to
kt ow their duty, to be ready to engage
in it, and though men laugh and sneer
at them, though the world frown and
threaten they will keep at it. No char
acter is complete until it is swayed and
elevated by genuine piety. No heart is
fully happy till it is imbued with the
spirit of piety. No life is all it may
and should be until'it is baptised in the
waters of piety. This divine grace of
the soul should be sought by every
young woman and cultivated with the
most fastiduoua care, for without it she
is destitute of the highest beauty and
divinest charm and power of woman
hood.

If saving of time and increase in elli-
ciency are worth securing in your office,
then it is well worth while to obtain full
knowledge of the Underwood Standard
Typewriter and the superior features it
possesses. If you will.come in, no furth
er draft on vour time and patience
will be made than you choose to permit.

Purity m Womanhood.
A German philosopher has poetically
and truthfully said. "The two most
beautiful things in the universe are the
starry heavens over our heads and the
sentiment of duty in the human soul.”
Few objects are richer for the contem
plation of the truly high-minded man
than is a young woman who lives, acts,
speaks and exerts her powers for an
enlightening conviction of duty, in j
whose soul the voice of dt'ty Is the
voice of God. In such woman there is a
mighty force of moral power. Though
they may be as gentle as a lamb, or
retiring raodest in their demeanor,
there is in them what commands re
spect. what enforces esteem. They are
the strong women. The sun is not
truer in its course than they are to
theirs. They are reliable as the ever-

Loyely Woman.
This is the ladies’ ago. There is
mistaking that fact, and in spite of I
fate she is gwing to play no second fiddle
in the near future. The ladies, bless
,em, cun do anything now days but!
fish, and already they are wonderfully ^
proficient in that urt even-as far as
suckers are concerned. The lady never
says can’t, except when she means
won’t and when she says “I will,” you
can bet your neck she is going to if she
has to sell the family hihlo to do it.
The woman of today is a different bc-
hg from the woman of fifty years ago.
The shrinking, trembling, weeping
heroines of Thackeray and Dickens have
disappeared. It is bettor that it is so.
For my part, I prefer the Becky Sharps
to the Amelia Sedleys. Not only has
the woman of today shaken ofr those
old time weaknesses, not only has she
assumed a stern independence, which
to some is well nigh disheartening, but
she has made her determination known
to the world, has waved it defiantly in
our faces in the shape of certain signs
and symbols which have a tendency to
add emphasis to her emancipation.
Another thing: A woman can go
shopping and save at least a hundred
dollars in spending fifty. Oh, indeed,
it is wonderful how much the average
woman can save when she goes shop,
ping. It is, really! She is so saving.
She would gludly spend five dollars for
the mere pleasure of saying fif tv cents.
Then, she can make fancy work. It is
simply wonderful what the average
woman can do in that direction. She
will embroider a doily for a church fair,
using fifty cents worth of material, und
at least a week’s solid labor and she
will be delighted when she hears that
some generous purchaser bought it for
75 cents on account of the good cause.
We hear a great deal of complaint from
women about the poor wages paid, and
the low value aot on woman's worj^.
But, my dear woman, it is you who
have set the value on your labor. When
a woman is willing to spend three
months spare time in order to save a
few cents a yard by making her own
carpet, is it any wonder that her labor
is considered cheap.
