Farmers.
Aa we constantly nit?et with
loafer who complain of hard times
and nothing to do (generally fel
lows who don't want anything to
do). We will copy the following
sensible article upon the poultry
industry, a business any poor man
can g' into, tven the boys oi
Marion who tramp the streets and
beg cigarettes could start a little
poultry yard if they were worth a
settin" of eggs. Here is 1 he ar
ticle:

By the side of a darkly-flowing stream.
And a "Churchman"' dowu to the river

When I heard a strange voice call his

Good father, stop; when you cross this

You must leave your robes on the

But t" e aged ftth t did not mind,
And his long gown floated out behind,
As down the stream his way he took.
His frail hands clasping a gilt-edged
book.

And llio'iuli I put on a starry crown,

RioiMoxn Pearson
Then he fixed his eyes on the shinin
t'ack,
But his grown was heavy and held him
back ;
And the poor old father tried in vwin
A sinirle stop in the Hood to gain.
I saw him again on the other side,
But his silk gown floated on the tide;
And no one asked in that blissful spot
If he belonged to "the Church' or not
Then down the river a (juaker strayed
His dress ol a sober hue was made;
My coat and hat must be all gray,
I cannot go any other way."
Then he buttoned his coat straight up
to his chin,
And staidly, solemnly waded in;
And his broad-brimmed hat he pulled
down tight
Over his forehead, so cold and white.
But a strong wind carried away his hat
A niomeni he silently sighed over that
An then, as he gazed to the farther
shore,
The coat slipped off and was seen no
more.
As he entered heaven his suit of gray
Was quietly sailing away away,
And none of the angels questioned him
About the width of his beaver's brim.

And alter him. with his Mss.,
Came Wesley, the pattern of godliness;
But "dear me," he cried, what shall 1 do,
The water has .soaked through and

And there on the river, far and wide,
Away they went down the swollen tide,
And the saint astonished, passed

The Girl of 1894.
She can sing, ballad sweetly,
And can fascinate completely,
With a look.
She can dance a waltz divinely,
And can entertain you finely,
Can she cook?
She can write a poem jesthetie,
And recite it fo pathetic,
That you weep.
To the woman suffrage queition,
She has given deep reflection.
Can the sweep?
But in spite cf her endeavor,
To become a maiden clever.
She's so sweet.
That my heart, she's fairly captured.
And I lay it down enraptured,
At her feet.

Then gravely walking, two saints by
name,
Down to the s' reams together came:
But as they stopped at the river brink
I saw one saint from the other sink.
"Sprinkled or plunged, may I ask you
my friend.
How you attained to this great end?"
Thus, wit h a few drops on my brow,"
'But I have been dipped, jt.s you'll see
now.'
'And really I th nk it will hardly d
As I'm close eoiu:minion, to cross with
you;
You're bound, I know, to the realms of

But you must go that way, and I'll

And straightway plunging with all his
might,
Away to the left -his friend to the
right.
Apart they went from this world of sin
But at Ian together they entered in.
And now when the river was rolling on.
A Presbyterian Church went down;
Of whom they see in 'd a wonU'rons
throng.
But the men I conld see as they passed
along.
And concerning the road they could
not airree
The old or the new way. which it should
be,
Xor ever a moment paused to think
That both w-uld lead to the riur's
brink.
