WILLIAM flKLL,

How much hotter It would bo if
the people Intent upou killing oth
ors and then themselves would but
begin with themselves.
When a man bIiowb the Uriah lleep
brand of humbleness H is Just as
woll to keep him at arm's length.
Such humbleness Is spurious.
How disappointing some people
are. They are so full of gunh nnd
promises that, uiilll one knows them
by experience, greut things are ex
pected of them. Hut soon It Is real
ized that they ore nothing but fonm
That boy who was presented with
a $7,000.00 pluy liouso by his indulg
ent and nnwlao futher will not get
one-quarter of tho satisfaction out of
It that a boy does out of an old hut
or tent that ho puts up by his own
efforts and those of his chuuiH.
This is the season when seed cata
logues entor innumerable homes to
gladden the ojob of prospective sub
urban gardeners and bring visions
of succulent vogetaliles and many
tinted flowers of tho glad summer
timo. It Is very fortunate that the
catalogues roiuu at a time when a
largo portion of the country is shiv
ering by reaHon of tho phenomenal
cold. It is possible I hut the man of
vivid Imagination, as lie looks rnptly
at tho highly colored pages of gigan
tic strawberries, monster roses and
other creations of the artist, may be
so affected as to Torget the north
winds and bitter cold, and Imagine
that gentle zephyrs are playing with
out and robins singing In the tnt'H.
Dntlhtlcfls it Is n good thing to gel
bark to the land, hut tho city man
hus to be careful that in so doing ht
does not make a mistake. That. Is
what ho usually does if with no pre
vious experience In farming or out
door life ho glveH up ills city home
nnd calling for a home in the coun
try. That thousands of city pie
would do far bolter In purtie nnd
health by turning fanners goes
without saying, hut before farming
on their own account they should
have some previous experience in j
working for others cr by attending
an agricultural college. With such '
training there Is no reason why the
groat majority of city men who tuke
up laud cannot make a success. Itul :
let It never be forgotten that fai ni-
lug, llko every other calling, memm
plenty of work, lie who looks at
country life simply through the eyes
of the poet and painter Is linuinl to
be disappointed when lie gets down to
actual experience. Watteau shep
herds and dairy maids and an un
varying round of Joy and pleasure
do not and never did exist except on
canvas or In the prospei-t uses or
land agents.

Wife in the country? J
All alone in the house?
Caught in the rain last night?
Trousers look like a gunny-sack this morning?
I don't care.
An ironing board, a damp cloth and a turn
cf the electric switch and in c minutes mv
trousers look like new. ,
And when my wife comes back I am going
to get her an Electric 1'ercolator, an Electric
Samovar, an Electric Range, an Electric Toaster
and an Electric Hot Water Cup. fff
I have been told all about these things for
years. Now I have actually used an Electric
Flatiron and I know all theelectric comforts that
I have been missing. . -- - - - J
