An to Sticking to tli Farm.
(Jeneral Ueub. Williame, of the War
saw Time, includes the following
observation in hia series of old-time
reminiscences: "In speaking of fann
ing, I am led to make the remark that
during my long residence in this city,
aud from obser?atinne I have made, I
should eay that it was unsafe for a
farmer after he reached the age of 4U
years, to change his calling and move
to town with the intention of entering
business. I have noticed this thing eo
cloeely from my bcyhood to the present
time that I dread In many cases espe
cially if the individual is a friend and
acquaintance to see him dispose of his
farm with that intention in view. I
have known ho many disasters to fol
low, that in a number of instances 1
have strongly urged the person not to
dispose of his farm with such an object
in view, and in some cases have suc
ceeded in preventing such a course.
Very often a wrong impreB6ion prevails
as to the easier way of liviug town peo
ple have over the farmers. This is not
thecaee and as a rule it is far more diffi
cult, requires more hours of labor per
day to live in town than in the country
and the cost of liviug Is almost double.
At any rate, 1 have always wheu I had
the opportunity advised the man who
owns a farm to stick to it rather than
to sell it and enter some other business.
I could name dozens of cases here, the
farmer has laid down his all in a re
markably short time and these in
stances have been so numerous that, as
I have said, a fet lin? of dread seizes
upon me whenever 1 hear of an in
tended sale of the kind alluded to. In
my time I presume I could name fifty
instances where total failure followed.

Valporaiso Messenger: More than
a score of farmers iu the neighborhood
of hamlet have become entangled in an
old confidence game. They ordered
portraits enlarged through an alleged
representative of a Chicago art com
pany, at a cost of i8 cents each. When
the pictures arrived at the express
otlice they were in frames and the bil
in each case was -SI. When the re
ceiver objected the agent asked him to
sigh a release receipt which now turns
up as a note.

added that they are a clat of men who

"Sworn ollicers are often accused by
irresponsible people of accepting bribes,
of "being on the make," etc, when
there has not been a thread ot evidence
on which to hang such charges. We
sometimes think tha! such accusations
