I'liidlnu: Out a Hoy's Talent.
The power of M-cupation to rouse
faculties that are dormant in children
has met with such marked success in
industrial schools that in instances
where it is impossible to stimulate
children who have not the advantages
of these schools parents would do well
to familiarize themselves, with their
methods. A well-known educator of
boys says of some of his pupils whose
interest could In not aroused in the
common schools: Some were natur
ally so weak that after weeks of con
scientious work on the part of the
teacher, they were not able to repeat
from memory a four-stanza verse of a
I" "' lov ''hiUren.
Others could not
apply themselves long enough to b-arn
anything.' Some of these boys were
placed in the day-modeling and wood
carving shop.
The boys who had been !
regarded as almost idiots soon began
to show signs of improvement. When
a Ihiv begins to work with clay he
seems to feel himself in the unity of
things and he lecomes happy accord
ingly, and as he sees the formless clay
take shape lieneath his touch a sense
of nower is born within him which
arouses and quickens him. A boy j
who has been cruel, cunning and
vicious, presenting no point for reach- j
ing his nature, one day in the wood-
working shop asked his teacher to
look at a molding board he had made.
Another boy. a persistent offender in
shop and school, expressed a desire,
when decorating was introduced, to do
work of that kind. The request was
granted, and his first effort showed his j
ability, and a new manhood asserted
itself within him." New York Even

Why Not Raise Potatoes.
It is a well known fact that the soil
of Southeast Missouri is a fine soil
for the production of Irish potatoes
and it is a wonder to us that our farm'
ers do not discard wheat and other
priceless crops and go to cultivating
something that will pay them for their
labor. The land here will produce
from two hundred to three hundred
bushels of Irish potatoes to the acre.
Say an average crop of two hundred
bushels per acre could be raised and
say the crop would bring only twenty
five cents per bushel that would be
fifty dollars per acre. What other
crop would bring that sum of money?
At the present pries of wheat the farmer
who gets twelve dollars and fifty cnts
ler acre for the wheat he raises is
doing well. There is more hard work
in raising wheat than there is in rais
ing Irish potatoes.
There Is Nothing in slslit.
That we are to have hard times din
ing the coming winter months there is
no question. Wheat is worth only
forty-four cents per bushel, corn will
be low, potatoes are selling for forty
cents per bushel, and there is nothing
that the farmer produces that he can
make a profit on. Hetofore the farmer
got good prices for everything he had
to sell. His fruit brought him con
siderable money, but this year he has
no fruit and his other products lieing
worth nothing he will have no money
to spend with the merchant. He will
le comjielled. therefore to economize
and live without many comforts that
he has been used to in prosjierous
times. This of course will cut down
the sales and also the income of the
merchant make money scarce and
thereby make life a burden to the poor
people in the cities and towns who live
from hand to mouth.
Let us Have Some Attractions.
It is only a little more than a month
now till the annual Fair of the South
eastern District Agricultural Associa
tion will take place and if wearegoing
to do anything to advertise the city it
is high time we were making some
preparations in that direction. There
will lie large crowds of people here
from all parts of the country and we
should get up some attractions that
will impress them with the idea that
we are a live, progressive jvople.

The Bicycle In Kentucky.

not in all. A case in jKiint came un

Grass Kentucky, where the roads are
superb, and in the course of my visits
to agents. I ran across a farmer who
lived about five miles from town, and
;ot to talking to him on the subject.
He was rather progressive, and con
ceded that the bicycle possessed many
advantages over the horse. It saved
feed. toll. care, shoeing and a lot more
things, and was a good deal speedier.
Why. then." said I. "don't you

' 'Well, there's only one thing that

back to his family in fairly good

Yet the man from Maine is proud of
it. like a mother of her puniest off
spring. Once upon a time the ex
Speaker was taking his famly to a
neighboring town, and entered the
railroad station to purchase tickets.
He pulled out a large bill, paid for
his tickets and walketl away without
taking his change. He had been seat
ed in the train hut a short time when
the conductor approached him.
"Did you leave your change at the
ticket station?" he asked. .-'
Mr. Reed suddenly recollected that
he had.
"The ticket agent who sold you the
tickets." said the conductor, "describ
ed you as a very large man with a
smooth face "
"And a mustach." put in Mr. Reed.
:No." said the conductor "he didn't
say anything about a mustache. I
guess he didn't see it."
Mr. Reed thrust his recovered change
into his pocket with a pout.
"Confound it." he said to a mem
