I know I .would be lots happier, Iwt j'oa >:rawl' ed into niy and nestled dowis snd . i tbougrbt you had come to stay. '' I could see I Was different !tom ilxe ^^le yoU'had i^t in the city, bat jtirUe, I know they are not capable of loving you as I do, and, after all, isn^ love what makes this life seam vForth the living? '' 1 ougrht not to blame you, dear. ai!« 1 don’t blanje you, because I know ir has hurt you, tod, but proiniw me you Krill come to jtie if things don’t po jutJ light. Never feel that you are alone, because your heart nest always wVl be empty and waiting for you to re - turn. You say you want to be happy. I only wish you could tell me' how. No, dear, the only happiivess t loo?: forward to is the tender memory of our days together. Your broken hearted CHAR'JE. BEFORE ME WENT AWAY. Dear Mar;;aret: It Would have zneant so much to n'« to have one last pleasant visit ^th you, but perhaps you know what is * best, I am sorry to have made yo'j unhappy. It Was because I didn’t i™w. .1 wont trouble you again. I leave tomorrow on the 6 o’clock train -so don’t worry any more. Hnw I wish 1 could be simply nat ural in your presence! I am sure you would like me better. And I so want ed you to help me. Why couldn’t we, when I had come so far, have had at least a good horseback ride together? Usually I am a light hearted fel low and a gay enough friend—don’t take myself and those about me too •eriously. But with you it seems dif ferent—the moment I come within sight or sound of you such a flood of feeling sweeps over me a£~ to make r it quite impossible to be myself. You can forgive me, thouirh-^it’s b'icause I lovG you, Margaret. And you tell me. Margaret, that I must make up my niind not to love you. Why, that is as impossible for for the aun to stop giving its light. I fought thac cut long, long ago. And how I >.'5n live without you, I don’t know. You are everything to mn. r ^111 i was ^ dreamed about you. All my amiiitionH have centered about you—for you —and how—O, Margaret, Margaret! , Yes, throughout our relatlonshin foa hav4 always been sweet and trui>, end further, I car. say that whatever the future hold') for us I will never regret my love tor you. So far it has kept my life clean and decent and strong, and I trust it always will. You are so lovely, Kargaret, God bjess you and grant the right man doe.*) come that you shall be very, very hap py.

Senator Martirie attacked the pro posed legislation as in violation of the personal liberty of the re^dents of the District and declared the Cre ator must have planned that man should use alcohol when tie made all the most nutritious fruits and grains rich in that stimulant. He read statistics by which he show ed that crime, lunacy and other evih were more prevalent :n Kansas, a state-wide prohibition commonwealth, than in Nebraska, where local option prevails. 0 CRIME AND NECESSITY. Editor Chicago American; ' Dear Sir—Is it a crime to steal? If it has been proven that you ha'^e stolpu you are adjudged guilty and punished according to the mandate.s of the law. Who makes the laws that govern the multitude ? Is it a set of men who are hungry and have the landlord at tha door ready to evict them if the rent ib not forthcoming? EmphaticaiT ly. No. They that make the laws hoi’e ■plenty to eat and don’t have to wor ry about tho landlord. Picture a man wjtli a wife and two Ichildron, who is an ali-routid mechan ic, but is uiisbie to npocuic ;i pt'sitl n for three months. By pawning ev erything of value that he possesses he has been able to meet the demands ^of the landlord up to (he present time. that tniui guilty if he steals to feed ■his family and keep a roof over wisir heads, or must he calmly sit down and starve to death, or take the cow ard's course and commit suicide? ! Trusting you will publish this ).i your columns, I am, yours truly, A CONSTANT READER. ■ If this government doos not want Mexico as a permanent liability it had better keep its soldiers on this side of the border. 0 We cannot understand how humane people can look upon the present or any other war as a blessing in dis- gfuiae. It is too much for us. 0 DOES NOT WANT TO MARRY. “Where did you work test and now long?” dessianded the colonel. “Did you quit of ycur own accord or were you discharged, and — “Looky yuh, boss!” sourly returned Brother Bogus, “I isn’t puhposin' xflsr- riage to yo’; I’se axin’ for a job.”— Puih. 0 Dancing Master—^“You must mind your feet carefully if you want to Idani the new dances.” Student—“Never mind the teef, pro fessor; what I want to get is tike holda”—Judga. -0 While it may be hard to establish the rosponsibility for the European War, no on« of the nations engaged could prove a complete innacence. 0 She—I suppose the duke has landed astates.

Knowing how to get out of debt is indeed an important lesson to levu and Uilli^ how it has been dooe is interesting b«auie it represents a struggle in which the hiinsa.i factor figures. For the busiiicsi man who tradts, uai speculates on what others have produced d^t isn’t such a bad thing, and esjKscially is Ais true ’ivitli the “middl^i^n” who passes his interest charge ^nd other exp«i^ on t« the consumers. But the farmer is not iji position to “pass it on” to other.*.. Therefore d^ and hi^ interest charges mean slavery to the fttimer, aod he isn't free until he gets out of debt. Getting out oi debt, iiieitforc, is s process of gaining freedom for the family and for fte home. A faiiner who has o^a struggling under, the burden of debt is never quite m hap py as on the day When he pays out and throws' oR the load. Hii face is brighter, he has a lighter heart and happier smile, Thou^nds of ro mantic narratives miffht be written on "Mow I got Out of Debt.” '•HOW I STAYED OCT OF DEBT.’ Woul^ift it be well to fallow it with another seri^ of prize letters on “How I Stayed Out of Debt?” K an ounce of prevendoni is worth a ■pound of cure,” wouldn’t ah experi ence meeting of this kind (in your local unions) make a practical and interesting subject to discuss? Tell ing how you stayed out of debt would necessarily touch upon habits of thrift and well-directed industry that under lie the very foundation of good agri cultural fcifonomics and right living on the farm. To me the most interesting stories that I ever hear personally related are those told me in private conver sation with "live-8t-homa” .farmers who have stayed out of debt. No rail road chargea, no middlemen’s tolls, ho wages to pay for hired money, bat everything that is consumed in the home produced at home as far as cli matic and soil conditions will per mit, with a surplus to sell, not under compulsion, but whenever mcrkets are most favorable. No writer on agricuHmal econom ics is as capable of giving first-hand information that carries quite so much force as the farmer's own story of how he stayed out of debt. It is true this class of farmers are usual ly modest, and it isn't as easy to get their experienco as ii is the :xpcrl- ence ui U,u ing” speculative credit farmers who 'm^.ke tiLuiiey rvnd . nusy “bust^” all tl>e time. ■SPECULATION AND EXTKAVA- GANCE. I have never soon a live-at-home stay-outrof-deht famor who had cul tivate^ extravagant habits of living. When a farmer makes up his mind to ^y on a Iive-at-hons« basis and re fuses to speculate cn a so-called “money crop” for his living, the right kind of habits of living seem to get hold of him and he avoids useless ex- travagftnccs. On the other hand, the farmer ^o gambles on a “money crop” almost invariably diifts into ex- trsvagant of living and fre quently raises his children, as spend thrifts. When we hear from the stay-out- of-debt fanner wo will hear from the kind of farming and economical hab its of living that have been, and al- w.-',ys will bo, the basis of true agri-j cultural prosperity.
