Bwm He CoMat See tbe Fee tie . Side of Farm Life. "Oh, yes," a man -in the hotel lobby was overheard to say. "I'm a real fanner now. My farm only costs me about $75 per month now. so you can see rm getting along." Then the man was heard to comment upon farm labor. . .. O-.v . "If 8 all right to talk about the poetry of farm life," he said, "but if farnlife is poetry I want the prosiest sort of prose in mine.' Is there any poetry in greasing harness? Do you find any rhyme and rhythm in milking a double Jointed, back action cow twice a day? Well, I guess not." N- ,.' : "But there's the scenery," his com panion interjected, "and .the smell of grain" ' "Yes," said the amateur farmer, "and the chiggers; and the red hugs, and holes in the fence, and rats in the seed corn, and the potatoes sprouting. , And If you are through plowing for awhile and haven't anything better to do you fix. the wheelbarrow for recreation, or you can see that the pen is made hog proof, or that the water trough doesn't leak too much. Then if everything else fails and it's too rainy to do any thing else you can get. out a second hand kit and fix the crupper on the harness or nail strips of boiler plate on the feed box so that crib eater of a plug won't have too many splinters in him when he dies. Oh, you can bet I'm too much of a farmer to look at the poetic side of it I'm a realist farmer; that's what ' I am." Dallas News. ' TOBACCO SALARIES. A Custom, of tbe American Colonies Before tbe Revolution. Before the. Revolution,' ministers of the Anglican church in those American Colonics where that church was estab lished by law were remunerated "in kind" instead of . in money. Maryland gave an Incumbent forty pounds of to bacco a year for every tithe payer In the parish, whether churchman or dis senter, white or colored.. These terms were handsome enough to secure the pick of the clerical market. In Vir ginia the stipends represented a fixed and unvarying quantity, by weight, of the manufactured leaf. These stipends were rather beggarly in quantity. Ia a bad year even the "sweet scented parishes," where the minister's salary was calculated on a high priced and exceptionally fragrant tobacco, yielded only about $500. a year. The parishion ers sometimes refused to induct a cler gyman unless he would consent to take one salary for serving two parishes. In 1758, when the price of tobacco had greatly risen, the house of burgesses passed a law fixing the cash equivalent of debts payable in tobacco at one- third their true value, thus wiping out two-thirds of the incomes of ministers. Patrick Henry made his first fame In defending this law when a test case was brought in behalf of the injured clergymen. . A Dead Moose. , When a bull moose lies dead In the forest he looks like some strange ante diluvian animal, .with his square pre hensile muffle and horns spreading lat erally, a peculiarity which he shares with the prehistoric Irigh elk and the nearly extinct European elk of later times. The huge form tells of strength and swiftness, and withal the still dan gerous gleam of, the eye, glazed in its last stare, bids the hunter pause and feel almost guilty of a crime in the de struction of so much that is grand and weird, a feeling very different from the sentiment supposed to attend the slaughter of a deer. But the triumph of mastering the wariest and bravest animal in the woods by fair still hunt ing and by grimly sticking to the track for many a weary mile amply atones for any regrets. Century.. . Sneak Thieve In Churche. An old sexton was discussing the amount of stealing that is done in churches. "Scarcely a day passes," he said, "when the church is open with out some distracted woman coming to me bowed down with grief because somebody has stolen her purse. There are certain contemptible thieves who prey on unsuspecting . women who pray so hard that they forget to look after their . pocketbooks. The thief .watches until the woman is deep in prayer and then leans over, grasps the purse and sneaks out. Philadelphia Record. . : Came In Handy, "The weather man said it would rain today, and I'm glad I carried my um brella," 1 "TVhy, it didn't rain at all today." "Of course it didn't, but I met the weather man on the street, and I used the umbrella to bang him good and hard." Catholic Standard and Times. Qnlte Probable.
