Just think, here it is th last
of the week and not a line or a
thought for The Stayer cousins
-and we have been oa the jump
all the week, a little heFe and
-there and not half done with
the promised duties of the week,
but we must fulfill our promise
to do good in ways of prompt
ness if it's only a little at a time.
A short letter is better than no
letter at all. Doing good should
be the motto of every cousin
along the line from one end of
the Panhandle to the other. We
are taught that the butter-nut
tree impoverishes the earth
uxn which it feeds but the
olive tree enriches the soil. So
there are natures as unlike in
effect as these. Some cold, self
ish, absorbing which chill and
and impoverish ever' one with
whom they come in contact.
Others radiate afiluentsouls who
enrich by their very presence
whose smiles are full of bles
sings. The latter represents
our cousins doing good one by
one and joining The Stayer's
band as we march along to high
er and more noble flights. One
of the old philosophers once bid
his scholars to consider what
was the best thing to possess.
One came and said that there
was nothing better than a good
eye, which, is in their language
a liberal and contented disposi
tion. Another said a good com
panion is the best thing in the
world. A third said, a good
neighbor was the best thing he
could desire and the fourth pre
ferred a man that could . forsee
things to come; but at last came
one and said, a good heart was
better than them all. True,
said the master, thou hast com
prehended in two words all the
rest have said for he that hath a
good -heart will be both content
ed and a good companion and a
good neighbor. Ever- one of
our Cousins should ever consid
that it is best for them to have
a good heart, having this will
prompt us not only to do good
but be on hand with our budget
of news items. Dr. Johnson
tmce said, he who waits to do a
great deal of good at once will
never do any. Good is done by
degrees and railroads are built
by the shovelful of dirt one
shovelful at a time; thus drops
make the ocean. Hence we
should be willing to do a little
good at a time and never wait
to do a great deal of good at
once. There is pleasure in con
templating good, there is great
er pleasure in receiving good,
but the greatest pleasure of all
is in doing good. Napoleon
once entered a cathedral and
faw twelve silver statutes.
What are these Emporer?
The twelve Apostles, was the
answer.
Well, said he, take them down
melt them and coin tbetn into
money and let them go about
doing good as their master did.
But for fear some of you might
become weary I will rush on
and tell you we have music in
abundance in our neighborhood
this week. Burch, Cartwright,
Parks. Kilburn and Chancelor
seperated their calves from the
cows last Saturday and we are
all chuck full of such musics
and wishing for a let up or some
anodyne to produce sleep in the
calf or ourselves, either one
will be a relief. This about
winds up the excitement in our
neighborhood except a little

Mr. S. H. Baker, of Wright,
Texas, is representing the cele-
lorateu otaric mothers nursery
of Louisiana, Mo. This nursery
is an old and reliable concern.
We do not have to take any
body's word for that for the
United States Agricultural de
partment give their methods of
cultivating orchards etc. as
models. See the photographs
taken of their Colorado orchard
and the one a'cross the road from
t in the Agricultural Report
over ten years ago and be con
vinced that they understand
their business. Mr. Baker's
eleven years life on the Plains
and long experience in growiug
and selling trees enable him to
give very valuable information
as to what varieties are best
adapted to this country. If you
want nursery stock write him at
Wright, Texas, and he will call
and see you.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Stayer:

a fine girl; secondly, born to Mr
and Mrs. Clair Gilbert on the

Mrs. Marvin McGehee, of Way

Your quill driver will also
chronicle anoth er singing here
at our good neighbor's Mr. Jim

hitch their teams, and, the boys
were too bashful to hitch -up to ,
