I , i ‘ il'i r mf irfttft 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 mamm THE HOME CIRCLE COLUMN Pleasant Evening Reveries—A Column Dedicated |^^Tired Mothers as They Join the Homo Circle at Evening 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. With THE UNDERWOOD 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 from its sacred precincts, as portrayed in the painted lines of the old song of “Home, Sweet Home.” ’’From allurement. abroad, which but flatter the eye. My unsatisfied heart turns and says with a sigh- Home sweet, sweet homo. Be it ever so humble there is no place like home- 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 teii of gilded shams, and fields of de 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. — the type cknnot go to the wrong point. 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. ik *5\\e "Wl &e\\u\e Aft'vW 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- . can be seen green In winter's dismal The Underwood Typewriter Co., Inc.

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. : A 1 A / ■. 3i’.L Whatevei our place allotted to us by Providence, that for us is the post of duty.
