This story comes from Australia,
where all convention turns event
ually to matters educational, be
cause every parent is painfully
anxious that his sons shall pass the
standard which will free them
from certain years of millitary ser
vice. A visitor was conversing
with his host's small son, and
opened as a matter of course, with
the words : 'Do you go to school
now?"
"Yes."
"And what do you lean? Read
ing, writing, sums?"
"Oh, yes, and I learn religion,
too."
"Religion?"
"Yes. I learn the little religion,
which teaches that we all come
from Adam. But my elder broth
er is in a higher class; he learns
the big religion, and that teaches
that we all come from monkeys."

Weldon, N. C.
The bachelor who sympathizes
with a fair widow is lost.
Fools jump at conclusions, but
wise run the other way.
He is an ungrateful man who
lives beyond his wife's means.
Where there's a will there's a
fighting chance for the lawyers.
A good many decided blondes
got the decision from a druggist.
Many a man with a way of his
own has a wife who outweighs
him.
V
Even women who lack the sense
of humor want to be jollied all the
time.
Most of the free advice is handed
out by people who want to get rid
of it,
It sometimes happens that a pes
simist is a married man who can't
forget it.
There is said to be happiness
among some savage tribes where
money is unknown.
Suppose the prodigal son had
come home to find that his family
had turned vegetarians!
There is only one thing that
travels faster than bad news, and
that is the reputation of being an
easy mark.

If you grow ptanuti and do not uie a
Benthtll Peanut I'icker, you actually lose
money by not owning one.
The Benthall makes peanut growing
doubly profitable,
The wages you pay tha losiet from
delays in not getting your crop euly to
market the losses from birds and Heal
ing cost you more than a machine.
' If you own a Benthall, you and your
boys can do the work of a hundred hinds,
and do it better. You send your crop to
mtrketearly secure highest prices, You
top the theft of your crop.
Growers now see that hand picking li
far too costly.
Th folly of aiiemping to "thresh"
them hat been plainly shown.
For machines that "thresh" them de.
troy profits.
' They crack the nuts and cracked nuts
will not keep.
They grind the vines to smithereens
and these vines are the equal of alfalfa for
feed worth from $12 to $20 per ton.
Contrast such machines with the Ben
thall. Tht vines are fed to the Benthall jolt
as grain to the treshing machine
The peanuts are pulled off the vine
without injury to the shell. The machine
picks at delicately as human fingers
hundreds of times more rapidly.
Many buyers give preference to Beo
thill picked nuts.
The vines are saved in perfect conditlou
for hay. ,
The recleaning and bagging attachment
makes it unnecessary to i un the peanuts
over for seed the second time.
This is the picker of proved worth
proved out in the peanut fields of Virginia.
Either Spanish or Virginia varieties are
picked equally as well.
It is mounted reidy to hitch as you
would a farm wagon. You can easily
move it from place to place. a)
Tine are models suited for horse or
engine power machines that are made
interchangeable.
Every year sees more farmers using the
Benthall. It has supplanted all other
methods in many sections. And the de
mand this year promises to be greater than
we can supply.
THE MACHINE THAT PAYS FOR ITSELF.
If you don't want to let profits slip thru
your fingers if you want to make money
growing peanuts, write us for our folder

THEIR ONE BIG DESIRE.
What makes the world so odd is that men differ in desires.
One has the hope to rush around some lime on rubber tires ;
One wants to dabble all his days in contents of old jugs;
One skips across the landscape with a net, pursuing bugs;
One wants to be looked upon as the biggest noise in whist;
Another wants to don the mitts and be a pugilist;
Another daubs up canvas, painting scenes of joy or gloom;
Another has an eager wish to make the desert bloom.
A man nr tun nnw this i true ninft to he nresidenl-
One would teach youth to say "have gone" instead of just "have we
I he height ol one s ambition is to leau tne village Dana;
Another would be glad if lie could own a peanut stand;
Another wants to go across the ocean wide on wings;
Another wants the world to sit spellbound the while he sings;
Some water stock and stock the waters with rare fish-
So nearly every one you meet has got a different wish,
All of us pine for something, but it sets our brains a-whirl,
No matter what we pine for, when we turn and see a girl
With rounded cheeks and laughing eyes beneath a saucy hat
Then we drop what we'd wanted to go chasing after that !
And that's what makes the world so good; tor, be he prince or churl,
Each one is glad to sacrifice all else for just a girl.
The love that makes us turn aside from all the things we've prized
Is the one thing that Keeps us anu tne Dig worm civilized.

BEAUTIFUL DECLINE.
Ollie James, Congressman and
Senator-elect from Kentucky, was
in conversation the other day in
Washington, when the latter made
certain inquiries with reference to
a mutual friend whom he had not
seen for a number of years.
"And how does Colonel Pres-
cott spend his declining years?"
he asked.
"Beautifully, sir, beautifully!"
answered James. "Me has a fine
farm, sir. And a siring of trotters,
sir. And a barrel of whiskey 16
years old and a wife of the same
age, sir l
THE TALLY.
It isn't the job we intend to do,
Or the labor we've just begun.
That puts us right on the ledger
sheet;
It's the work we have really
done.
Our credit is built upon things we
ao,
Our debt upon things we shirk;
The man who tals the biggest plus
Is the man who completes his
work.
Good intentions do not pay bills;
It's easy enough to plan;
To wish is the play of an office boy
To do is the job of a man.
Richard Lord.
EXCEPTIONS TO ALL RULES.
When Doris climbed on her
father's knee it was plain that a
deep problem was troubling her.
"Papa, was it a wise person who
said, 'The good die young?' "
"Yes," he replied. "I suppose
he must have been very wise."
"Well," the child replied, after
thinking it over for a time, "I'm
not so much surprised about you,
but I don't see how mamma man
aged to get growed up."

more than a gale recently when a
benevolent old chap stopped to
put a dime in the hat of a shiver

The donor nearly dropped the
coin, but the tnendicrant shoved
his hat underneath it and skillfully
rescued it.
"Why, you're not blind!" cried

AN OVERWORKED ELOCUTIONIST.
i
Once there was a little boy, whose name was Robert Reese; I
And every Friday afternoon he had to speak a piece.
So many poems thus he learned that soon he had a store
Ot recitations in his head, and still kept learning more.
And now this is what happened : 1 le was called upon one week,
And totally forgot the piece he was about to speak!
His brain he cuddled. Not a word remembered within his head !
And so he spoke at random, and this is what he said:
"My Beauti-ul, my Beautiful, who standest proudly by,
It was the schooner Hesperus the breaking waves dashed high !
Why is the Forum crowded ? What means this stir in Rome ?
Under a spreading chestnut tree, there is no place like home,
When Freedom from her mountain height cried, Twinkle, little star,
Shoot if you must this old gray head, King Henry of Navarre !
Roll on thou dark and deep blue castled crag of Drachenfels,
My name is Norval, on the Grampian Hills, ring out, wild bells !
If you're waking, call me enrly, to be or not to be,
The curfew must not ring to-night ! Oh, woodman, spare that tree !
Charge, Chester, charge! On, Stanley, on ! And let who will be clever!
The boy stood on the burning deck, but I go on forever !"
His elocution was superb, his voice and gestures fine;
His schoolmates all applauded as he finished the last line.
"I see it doesn't matter," Robert thought, "what words I say,
So long as I declaim with oratorical display I"
PASS IT ON
Have you had a kindness shown?
Pass it on.
'Twas not given for you alone
Pass it on.
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
Till in heaven the deed appears.
Pass it on.
