A handsome young fellow, but
given to drink, thought himself in
love with a beautiful girl.
She came into a friend's room
one night and said:
"John proposed tonight. He
went down on his knees and said
I was the only power on earth that
could save him, and that if I did
not. consent to marry him he
should fill a drunkard's grave."
"What did you say?" asked her
friend.
"Well," she replied, "I told him
that I was not running a Keeley
Cure, but if he really wanted to be
saved I could give him the address
of several which I had heard high
ly recontnended."
That girl was level headed.

WHY HE DECLINED IT.
THE HEART'S DEAREST DREAM.
MARGARET B. MARTIN.
Sweetheart of Mine, from the Land of Some Day
livening Shadows fall,
Dim grows the world of work and of play,
Dreams seem the truest of all;
Prince of my dreams, come and whisper to me,
Of truth and faiih front above,
Whisper of beauty and whisper of hope
And whisper to me of love.
Home of Our Own, from the Land of Some Day,
Lift in the shadows your walls,
Let me creep in at your wide-open way
Into the warmth of your halls.
Lights in Our Home let me kindle for him,
Of truth and faith from above,
Lights of beauty and lights of hope
And lights of eternal love.
Child of My Dream, from the Land of Some Day
Nestle so close on my breast;
Safe in Our Home, in my arms softly lay,
Love's song lulling to rest,
Out of the years as they come, as they go,
Child of our heart's purest ray,
God and the Mother will send you, 1 know,
Into Our Home of Some Day.
LIFE'S AIM.
W. T. McLLROY.
The sweetest songs come not from the throats
Of those who are known to fame,
For over and over the wild bird's notes
Will put them all to shame.
The tenderest heart is not the heart
That makes the greatest show,
But the one that comes in the hour of grief
And helps to bear the blow.
The greatest life is never the one
That of wondrous acts can boast
But the life that sweetens some other life
And supplies its needs the most.
And the life most needed is not the one
That ciimbs ro the mightier deed
But the one that helps pnoiher on
And gives it the love it needs
And so our prayer is not for a share
Of the things the world calls great,
But the power to help some brother on
To a happier and higher state.
A South Side young man who
has a reputation for wearing the
sportiest clothes to be obtained re
cently decided to give one of his
very light suits to the colored
houseman. The young man took
the suit from his room and went
down into the yard, where the
servant, who is especially black,
was working.
"Look here," he said, "I've
got a fine suit here which I would
like to see you wear."
The colored fellow took one
look at the suit and exclaimed.
"Lawsee, boss, I couldn't wear
that suit. 1 would look like a fly
in a bottle of milk, and you knows
that's a terrible disgusting sight!"
Kansas City Star.
IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
"I'm disgusted with the whole
political situation. There are no
statesmen in this country any more.
Where will you find a McKinley,
or a Blaine, or a Cleveland, or a
Thurnian today?"
"But I think 1 have heard you
make disparaging remarks about
e.ich of the great men you have
jti it named."
"Perhaps you have hut not
sii ce they've been dead." Chica

Secretary Wilson of the depart

about the record crops of 1912.
"These wonderful crops," he
said, "are almost enough to make
you believe the cross-cut saw
story.
"A farmer, you know, sent his
hired man to a neighbor's with a
note saying:
"Friend Smith: Will yn plmse
lend me your cross-cut saw, as I
wish to cut a watermelon up so as
to get it into my dray?"
The neighbor wrote back ;
"Friend Jones: I would be

An I H C Manure Spreader Is an Investment
Not an Expense
MACHINE that makes two dollars where
one was made before is not an expense-
it is a good investment.
Careful tests made at the Ohio Experiment
Station showed an average increased crop j teld
of $15 an acre when eight loads of manure were
properly spread. Spreading with a fork, it
would take at least sixteen loads to an acre to
produce the same result. By fertilizing twice
as much ground with the same quantity of
manure and doing the work better, an I H C
manure spreader soon pays for itself. Add
to this saving an increase of $15 an acre in the
value of your crops, and you at once see why
we urge the purchase of an
1 H C Manure Spreader
Kemp 20th Century, Corn King, or Cloverleaf
Ask the I H C local dealer to show you the
self-aligning, removable boxes on the main axle;
notice that the axles are roller bearing to reduce
the draft; study the apron construction, and
note the large rollers on which it runs. I H C
spreaders can be used in any corner of the barn
yard. There is no reach to interfere. The seat
folds out of the way when filling the spreader.
If you appreciate machines of extra merit;
machines that spread manure in ample range
of quantities; machines which can be equipped
with drilling attachments for use in market
gardens, and ahove all, machines which are
made in sizes convenient for every farm, in
vestigate I II C spreaders. Go to the local
