• THE WAY WE FEEL ABOUT IT.
Sure, card playing, dancing and
theater going is absolutely all right
when practiced with a little common
sense and discretion. There is no
more harm in a quiet game of bridge
or cards at the club or in the home
than there is in any other pastime.
The trouble begins when some rabbit
brained son of Cain hops up and yells,
“Let’s get a little pep in it,” and dis
plays a wad of money and a lot of
poor judgment.
Who has any opposition to offer
when someone suggests a dance when
said dance isn't an exhibition of the
latest thing in the way of a “toddle?”
Nothing that we ever had the privi
lege of witnessing was more graceful
than a couple who had mastered the
intricacies of the old time dances.
This present day thing that masquer
ades under the name of dancing and
consists of a series of twisting, shak
ing, grappling contortions to the
nerve-racking strains of a syncopated
orchestra, sawing out tunes that
would bring thoughts of the eternal
ly damned, is no blood relation of real
dancing. There is no harmony, no
grace, no unity of motion in it, noth
ing’, in fact, but movement and more
movement by a pair of jazz maniacs
clutched ai each other’s arms with
a strangle hold.
A motion picture theater properly
conducted and exhibiting first class
productions is an asset, not a liability,
to any town. Recreation, rest, enter
tainment, education are all obtained
there for a mere pittance. But sup
pose you should see your poor, long
suffering pastor there. Without fur
ther ado you would boil over and be
gin to sizzle around the edges. Friend
pastor’s stock, in your estimation,
would take a sudden drop. But think
it over calmly and see if you don’t
get a different view of the proposition.
A preacher has to work for a living
the same as you and I, and he, there
fore, is entitled to rest and recreation,
just as w r e are. Too many people
want a minister of the gospel to set
himself upon a different plane from
ours altogether. He isn’t supposed
to enjoy the pleasures that other men
do but, after all is said and done, a
preacher is human and he enjoys the
some pleasures of life as anyone else
does. Very few of us lead so conse
crated a life as does the average min
•. but still we seem to think that
if hg should indulge in the same
id ensures wo do he w r ould no
longer he fitted to teach the Bible.
That being the case how few r of us
have art outside chance to reach the
Onldon Portals of Paradise after the
li+’e the ordinary citizen leads and his
neglect of the spiritual phase of it if
a nreanhor is eternally damned the
moment he sticks his head inside the
door of a picture show?
PEOPLE WILL TALK.
Samuel Dodge, in Ex.
You may get through the w T orld, but
Tuvil 1 be very slow T ,
If you listen to all that is said as
you go;
You’ll be worrried and fretted, and
kept in a stew —
For meddlesome folks must have
something to do.
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you’ll have it
presumed,
That your humble position is only as
sumed—
You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or
else you’re a fool;
But don’t get excited—keep perfectly
cool—
For people will talk.
And then, if you show the least bold
ness of heart,
Or a slight inclination to take your
ow r n part,
They will call you an upstart, conceit
ed, and vain;
But keep straight ahead—don’t stop
to explain—
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress or old-fash
ioned your hat,
Some one will surely take notice of
that,
And hint rather strong that you can’t
pay your way;
But don’t get excited, whatever they
say—
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion, don’t think
to escape,
For they criticise then in a different
shape;
You’re ahead of your means, or your
tailor’s unpaid;
But mind your own business—there’s
naught to be made —
For people will talk.
Now, the best way to do is to do as
you please;
For your mind, if you have one, will
then be at ease.
Os course you will meet with all sorts
of abuse;
But don’t think to stop them —it ain’t
any use—
For people will talk.
BURNED IN.
There is an impressive story of a
man going through a great pottery
and stopping to watch a young wo
man painting with careful and deli
cate touches a beautiful flower upon
a costly vase. He remaked presently
that it was slow work. “Yes, very
slow.” she said. “How do you make it
stay?” he ask el. “You have, been
working on it for hours and with one
touch of my finger T could sweep off
every trace of it. How do you make
the impression remain after vou have
painted it?” “Oh,” she said, “I do
nothing more to it. but when I have
. finished painting the flowers on it, a
man will come and take it to the fire.
The impression is made once for all,
but it has to be burned in. After it
has passed through the fire, no power
on earth can take it off.”—Anna Bry

WIZARD OF THE ALPHABET.
Did you ever think what a strange
letter “S” is? it is a serpent in
disguise. Listen —you can hear it hiss,
it is the wizard of the alphabet. It
gives possession and multiplies inde
dennitely by its touch. It changes a
pear into a spear, a word into a sword
laughter into slaughter. Farmers have
to watch it closely. It will make scorn
of his corn, and reduce every peck to
a peck. Sometimes he finds it useful.
If he needs more room for his stock
it will change a table into a stable
for him; and if he is short of hay h.«
can get a row of tacks and it will
turn them into stacks. He must be
careful, however, not to let his nails
lie loose, for the serpent’s breath will
turn them into snails. If he wishes to
see an engine about his farm, he need
not have any coal or water to work
it; let the serpent glide before his
horses , and the team will turn into
steam. If ever you get hurt, call the
serpent to your aid. Instantly you
pain will be in Spain. Be sure to take
it with you the next time you climb
the mountain, if you desire to witness
a marvel; it will make the peak
speak. But do not let it come near
you while you are reading now, it
will make the tale stale.—Selected.

Stable Manure, Soil Building |
Crops, or Commercial Fer- f
tilizer Necessary.
Most farmers can spare enougt x
manure from their other crops to fen I
. tilize properly a one-fourth acre gar J
den plot, but in some sections, espe 1
dally near towns, manure la no longei |
to be had'in quantity and other meant |
must be found for fertilizing garden 1
Soil’s. In brief, states the United |
States Department of Agriculture, at I
least three methods of adding fertilitj |
to the soil. First, by the application a
es manure; second, by the use of sol] |
building crops, and, third, by commer |
Clal fertilizers. No one method is aa I
good as any two or the three com* I
blned, and if we are to get the best |
results from the use of commercial i
fertilizer a reasonable amount of ma- |
nure or organic matter must be in th< 1
soil. I
The amount of manure required will I
'depend entirely upon the soil Itself, |
but very few cases are found where 1
:the use of manure on gardens is bein| \
overdone. The same might be said <
about the turning under of manure \
crops or soil building crops. Even the <
weeds that grow upon the surface dur-
Lng the late summer, aside from their
seeds, are often valuable for working *)
into the soil. The method of applying |
the manure will also depend upon lo- ]
cal conditions, but as a rule manure <
that has been piled and thoroughly j
composted will give better results than
that which is in the raw state.
Too much cannot be said in favor
of the compost pile by means of which !
equal parts of manure and soli or \
sods, which are even better are piled j
to rot. This compost heap should be ;
turned once or twice during the win
ter months and the material applied j
to the garden as a top dressing dur
ing the spring. Ten tons of this kind
of material will not be too much for
Intensive Fertilization.
1 the ordinary one-fourth acre gardes. \
Commercial fertilizers are used for j
adding plant food to the garden and j
give best results when used In con
junction with stable manure or com
post. Commercial gardeners often ase
, as much as 4,000 pounds to the acre
for special crops like celery, but gen
erally speaking 400 or 900 pounds of
a fertilizer containing 3 or 4 per cent j
nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid *<
and 2 to 4 per cent potash, will be all •
that Is needed on a one-fourth-acre' E
garden. Fertilizers anould be used
most heavily on corn, potatoes, cab
bage and the root crops and more
lightly on beans, peas and toraateea,
