THE GIRL ON THE FARM.
Why Not Give Her Soma Attention
Wall if the Boy?
Io recent year the problem of keep
lug the boy on the farm has been
thought serious cuotiKh to arouse con
siderable discus-dun.
The farmer has Isx-u told that lie
ought to provide the most modern agri
cultural nia hinory lit order to obvlute
the hard labor of farming and keep
the boys interested; that he should
send bis boya to a good school of sci
entific agriculture; that ho should get
a-sldo a certain portion of the farm for
the boy and icrmit him to keep the
profit from bin oiierntlon, and he tins
been told many other things. In all of
which the Importance of the boy to the
farm was emphasized and plana sug
gested to make bis lot a little easier
and more promising. The county agent
bus Interested himself In the problem
by organizing boys' corn growing and
other agricultural contests.
But bow about keeping the girl on
the farm? The girl does not ordinarily
do the heavy field work, but her serv
ices In bomekeeptng, cooking and mend
ing as well as In buttermaking, milk
ing, caring for garden and chickens,
which tasks usually fall to ber lot, are
surely valuable enough to warrant the
greatest consideration. And yet dis
cussion of tbo problem of keeping the
girl on the farm Is infrequent. Indian

OTHER PEOPLE'S AFFAIRS.
Unless You Have Real Tact Don't Try
to Be the Third Party.
Have you a reputation of being a
third party where two persons are
vainly trying to manage their own af
fairs? It Is only the most tactful sort
of persons who can successfully play
the role of third party without doing
more harm than good.
Don't try to fix things up between
quarreling lovers unless you are abso
lutely sure that you can trust your tact
and Intuition to do the right and only
thing. Don't Intervene In the affairs of
a newly established household. Let the
young people work things out for them
selves. Don't try to bring up other
people's children. They won't thank
you. Nobody thanks the meddler, no
matter how well lntentloned she may be.
Now., to the humane soul who bates
to ee things go wrong when a word
lor two will apparently set them right,
ihia withholding of Interest seems most
selfish. But It really isn't It is the
most considerate thing you can do
sometimes to shut your eyes and let
things take their natural course. They
will right themselves In time, and you
will not Jeopardize your friendship by
good natured meddling.
It Is better to stand aside than to
get mixed up as a third party In other
people's troubles. Nobody loves a med
dler. Pittsburgh Press.

When Golf la Wearisome.
It might be well for golf "bugs" to
read this story and then Indulge In a
little Introspection to see If the shoe
Bts.
An enthusiastic young golfer was In
troduced to a beautiful girl, and al
most immediately be launched on an
eloquent dissertutlon on links, brassies,
putters and scores.
"The only objection I have to golf,"
remarked the beautiful girl at length,
"Is that at times It become Just a lit
tle bit wearisome."
"Why, Miss Jones," exclaimed tbe
young man, with a look of surprise, "I
understood you to say that you didn't
play golf !"
"I douV-Kt. Louis a'osHJUpatcto.
As a Utile follow I wasn't very
strong. 1 had the measles and Km
scaiiot fen-r , ,i all kinds of thll
divu's diseases Any boy of my age
could lick mo '. easily.
Whcu I was about eighteen years old
filler cotno round glvln' box In' les
son, t. 1 went to soo him give 4 lesson
it was In a barn - and 1 was mighty
tiikled the way ho isillshcd oft noun)
o' the big fellers that be was toachln'.
Ho wasn't big himself, (hough he was
wiry; there wasn't any knotty muscles
standlu' out on his arms and logs; they
was jist giHHl ordinary anus and legs.
As for length, 1 reckon be measured
about live foot six in bis Htoekln's.
It was all in the way he douo It. A
feller who could throw a hundred
pounds o' hay up Into a loft on the
end o" a pitchfork would make a lunge
at him that If It had hit lilm square
without gloves would 'a' made Jolly of
him. But the little man wasn't there
to be hit. Before the big one could
git back Into position he got a blow on
the Jaw.
I Hrsuaded dad to give me the mon
ey to tane noxln lessons, and after a
down lessons I was tin1 tn-st boxer lu
the county. What made me stuck on
It was that I was a little feller with no
great muscle, and after I'd learned to
box I was cock o' the walk. None o'
the big ones who took lessons could
down me. The reuson for thla was
that I was mighty spry, ami I could
toll by watchln' the other feller's eye
Jist what he was goln' to do next.
Oiie day dad says to me, says he.
"Jo-di, you've got a lot of lea min' In
yer Huts. I reckon you'd better git some
in yer bead. There's a young woman
0eiied a schule over to the crossroads;
yo.il bettor lam soinethiu' about readtn',
writ In' and 'rithmelle."
I thort I was too old to go to schule,
but when I got there 1 found the schol
ars was lalglity mixed. There was
scholars all the way from twelve to
twenty-four years old. The schiilemarm
was a young thing wolghlu' about a
hundred Hiunds and not more'u eight
een years old. The tlrst few days
tlilnrs wont uil'.diiy quiet, but after the
novelty wore off some o' the big fellers
Vguu to got tlntl o' bohavln' thetr-s.-lves
and showed a disiHWltlou to do
purly iiiit.h ns 'hey pleased. When
teacher told 'cm Io slop talk lu' to each
other ilurln' schule hours they'd stop
for awhile, but It wasn't loug before
tiny wore at It again,
John Whlttuker N'gan tlekllu' Bam
Tallfer with n feather, Sum slttlu' tn
the desk In front of John. Teacher
told John to stop. He did. but tn a
few mtuutes begun ag'ln. This time
when teacher told til m to stop he kept
i'l;;!it on.
1 hold up my hand, lettlu' on I want
ed to speak.
"What Is It, Josh?" asked teacher.
"Please, teacher, kin John Whlttaker
and mo take a recess?"
She looked at me, and John looked
at me, and we all understood one an
ither.
"If you wish to tic excused you may
4 out," she said to me.
"How aliotit me?" usked John.
"You may lie excused too."
John and I went outside, and as soon
as we got there be says to me, says
he, "Reckon you want somep'n o' me."
And I say:, says I; "Reckon I do. 1
want yon to agree to behnvo yoursell
lu schule. What d' ye mean, a great
hulk like you sottln' yourself up agin
a little gal like thnt?" "It's none o'
your business," he says. "I'll make It
my business," I says, and before be
knew what had happened he was
sprawlln' on the ground.
He gut up and come for me like a
mad bull. Rut what could he do? I
was never where he struck at, and
when I aimed a blow at him he was
always there. The second punch 1
give dim was In the nose, mid the
blood bothered him. The third was
In his left eye and closed It up. There
wasn't anything tender ubout 1)1 in, and
I was obliged to take him under the
Jaw with nil my might to put him out
o' the light.
While w6 was at it I caught sight o'
the winders of the schulehouse, and
they was full o' the scholars. I reckon,
ed teacher couldn't keep 'em at their
lessons while there was somethlti' no
much more Interestln goln' on outside.
Some o' the older scholars came out
to watch the proocodln's and stood
around wonderin' how such a little
doner could knock about a great hulk
of a feller Jist us If ho was a bag o'
sand. When I tuk John under the Jaw
1 knocked It out o' plumb. Ho got up
ilow, but be didn't come for me ag'ln.
HoMIn on to bis cheek, he went off
to a doctor to get It put In place ng'ln.
The rest of us went back to our
schule work. Nobody made any dis
turbance. Oncet two fellers started to
whisper, but I Jist throwod a glance
their way, and It had the sume effect
as If I'd throwod a stone. They stop
lied right away.
When schule let out teacher she beck
oned rae to lag behind, and I did. She
tuk my hand nud squeezed It, but she
didn't say nnthlu'. I reckon she feel
so much she couldn't talk.
"Don't you worry about the scholars'
behavior," I suld. "They won't get
cuttln' up no more."
"I don't think they will," she sn'd.
"so long as I have such a sergeant-at-arms
to keep order." J
John Whiitakcr didn't come back to
schule any more, and the other big fel
lers didn't make any disturbance. 1
didn't get much 1'nniln'. I reckon It
was 'cause I had to watch the scholars.
Anyway, it wasn't teacher's fault.
