FARMER’S INSTITUTE^
Three Days Session At The Court
House Ends This Afternoon.
Today’s session of the Farmers’
Institute marked the close of the
three day course which has been
held at the Court House this week.
Dorchester county has been the
only county In the State to secure
the three days’ course, the success
in securing it being due to the fact
that the Cambridge Grange made
an early application for such a
course, and did not let up in its
efforts until it had done so. The
sessions have been a complete suc
cess In every respect, the at
tendance has been unusually large
and the course of instruction very
Interesting and profitable, and if
the farmers of the county do not
get largely increased crops this
year over previous years, it will
ba because the weather or other
unfavorable conditions prevent them
from doing so.
Washington inauguration.
On account of the large number
of people who intend to go over to
Washington for the Inauguration,
passengers are advised to purchase
tickets In advance. The Eastern
Shore Development Steamship Co.
regret that they cannot accomodate
all their patrons at that time, and
strongly advise that tickets be se
cured now, in order to avoid dis
appointment, as we cannot possibly
take more passengers than the law
specifies.
The fare from Cambridge to
Washington and return is $4.60. We
cannot guarantee to accomodate
passengers that wish to go to Wash
ington March 2nd or 3rd, unless
reservations are made.
If passengers desire to return on
March 4th, sth or 6th, it will be
necessary to specify the trip they
wish to return on, in order to guar
antee accomodations.
Tickets can be purchased at our
Cambridge office, at the foot of
Commerce street. —Adv. 20-st.

are still waiting; thousands of ’em

How It's Made.
The L. & M. Semi-Mixed Real
Paint is a pure paint. One thou
sand pounds of pure White Lead,
Zinc and Linseed Oil are put to
gether in an immense mixer; then
large mills grind it, and machines
fill It into cans ready for market.
But the user adds three quart? more
Linseed Oil to each gallon to make
1 3-4 gallons of Real Paint for
$1.40 per gallon. It is the very
highest quality paint.

Barnum’e First Show Venture.
P. T. Barnum launched his career in
the show business by exhibiting a re
markable negro woman, believed to be
! 1(>0 years old and said to have been a
nurse to George Washington. An old
- bill of sale was exhibited, properly
dated, concerning Joyce Heth. then
i aged fifty-four years, and evidence was
1 also furnished that she was nurse to
. George Washington. Everything seem-
L ert so straightforward to the young
man that he was eager to become the
proprietor of this novel exhibition,
which be purchased for SI,OOO, SSOO of
which he paid down, selling out his In
terest In the grocery business, and the
other SSOO he borrowed. He saw that
the thing to do was to make people
i talk and become curious and excited
, over rare spectacles. Regardless of ex
pense he advertised in New York. Bos
ton and Philadelphia, and the halls
were thronged until Joyce Heth died.—

The Best Security.
What security is there best suited to
“the average man” possessing (1) safe
ty, (2 stability. (3t profit and (4) con
vertibility? Traveling In a circle, we
come back to our original point of de
parture-real estate. First mortgage
bonds based on the highest class of im
proved. Income producing real estate
in n large city with a large margin of
safety and an absolute first Hen return
Ing 5. 5% and (5 per cent on the invest
ment are to my mind the ideal invest
ment for "the average man" and In
deed for all others. A century or two
ago real estate first mortgages were
the only safe investment. The first
mortgage real estate bond Is simply
the modern form of the real estate
mortgage, equally safe and far more
convenient and convertible. If one can
not or does not wish to own real estate
he may at least own bonds based on it.

LADY MARY’S DIET.
Ft Was Entirely Too Dainty to Suit Her
Italian Doctor.
That recipe of the tallest Scotsman
In London—two meals a day and live
forever—would not have appealed to
the Englishman of the eighteenth cen
tury nor yet to the man who lived
abroad. Here, for Instance, are a few
trifles which Lady Mary Montagu man
aged to exist on In Italy:
“1 wake about 7 and drink half a pint
of warm asses’ milk." she wrote, "after
which I sleep two hours. Then come
three large cups of milk coffee and two
lours after a large cup of milk choco
late. Two hours later my dinner,
where I never fail to swallow a good
dish (1 dyu t mean plate) of gravy soup,
veal sweetbread, concluding with a
competent quantity of custard and
some roasted chestnuts.”
Even then the day was not done.
Lady Mary goes on: "At 5 In the after
noon I take another dose of asses’ milk
and for supper twelve chestnuts, one
new laid egg and a handsome porrin
ger of white milk.” In these degener
ate days it would be thought that the
patient had done very well.
The eighteenth century Italian was
not so easily satisfied. The parish doc
tor marveled how Lady Mary managed
to survive with such a finicking appe
tite.—London Chronicle.
THE COUNTRY LAWYER.
A Legal View of Him as the Slave of
His Clients.
“A professional baseball player in
part bases his claim for a large com
pensatlou upon the theory that in ac
cepting service he surrenders in a great
measure his liberty and becomes the
property of his employer.” writes Al
mond G. Shepard in "Case and Com
meut”
•Tf this was the basis of compensa
tion for the lawyer In the rural dis
tricts he would speedily become a mil
lionaire. For he is the property not
only of one Individual, hut frequently
of a whole community, and the greater
his success, the wider his reputation,
the more abject la his slavery. His
clients are tyrannical. They know and
recognize no office hours. The month
hand on a farm has at least a few
hours between late dusk and early
dawn for repose, but even these are
frequently denied the country lawyer
“Some of his clients are prone to con
sult him at his residence late at night,
when none of the curious minded vil
lagers can see them, and speculate and
gossip on the question and of the na
ture and purpose_of_the call. Another
