look well into the subject of irrigation. Before making a trip
of investigation there is no better way to secure advance infor-

The Domestic Philosopher of
Britt, Io., Based on His Own
Experiences as the Head of a
Happy Family, Which Has
Twice Been Invaded by Matri-
mony.
He was a boy 15 years old and
wore “red topped boots.” This
was in a countrj7 place back in
the years when the country
boy with the new boots
was a hero. Our hero was the
best scholar in the country school
and “left off head” nearly every
night.
She was a country girl about
the same age, and had white hair.
He asked her what was the best
time to harvest flax, and she
cried. Then our hero was sorry
he spoke, and wishing to make
amends for his rudeness he began
to take more notice,of the girl
with the white hair.
Noting her absence from school
for one day or perhaps two oc-
casionally, she was asked for a
reason, and replied: “I had to
stay and help mother.” The boy
of 15 began to think. The
whit e-h aired girl, studied
long to perfect a lesson that he
could master in a few minutes.
She was strictly honest in her
recitations, whether they brought
success or failure. Then he be-
ban to reason. The girl who is
good to her mother, and strictly
honest in small things, would be
apt to be good to her husbffhd
and honest in all things.
A few years later the white
hair had changed to a golden hue,
the red-topped boots were dis-
carded, a mustache adorned the
upper lip of our - hero, and then
they talked the matter over one
night, and she promises to love
honor and obey, without mental
reservation or equivocation over
the word obey, and life began in
earnest for these two.
With two pairs of willing hands
as capital, a determination to
care for each otheT in the battle
of life, to share equally its con-
quests and defeats, its lights and
shadows, the start was mdde.
“The wife was selected.”
One night th'ere came a cry.
/“Of course there did.” The
boy—for he was still a boy—was
scared; the girl was scared, too;
but the morning sun shown upon
a woman in the place of a girl.
A little mite of humanity, cuddled
in a blanket, set forth a feeble
wail, and the boy began to realize
that he was still “going to
school.” The golden hair had
changed its sheen in a single
night to an aureole of iridescent
transcendent glory, trailing over
a snow-white brow seamed with
pain and exhaustion, and a look
had come to the woman’s eyes at
that first feeble wail that had
never been there before—an in-
expressible look of joy and moth-
er-pride, a look tha.t would last
so long as life itself, the 'magic
soul-glow of maternity, which
finds expression through the eye
of every true mother in-answer
to the inevitable birth-pang wail
of her offspring.
Yes, the boy was “going to
school.” He had thought the
girl wife the acme of perfection.
They had built Castles in the air
of what they would do in the fu-
ture, “they two,’’and now it was
“they three.”
He had never known the per-
fection of female loveliness until
he saw that mother nurse her
baby and listen to the lullaby
that hushed it to slumber.
The world will laugh at this,
but female perfection is never at-
tained until the mother clasps
her first-born to her bosom and
perfects the chain that binds the
union of man and woman as it
was ordained it should be bound
from the foundation of the world.
They began to “raise that
girl.” What a cute thing a baby
is! Who ever saw one that did
not want to see its feet and watch
its toes wriggle? Constantly
twisting, turning, expanding as
the days go bjr, getting plumper
and rounder and heavier. And
when it begins to creep —who
would accept an introduction to
an emperor who couldn’t get
down on the floor and play with
a creeping baby? And as the
days went by the dolls came, and
were dressed or “spanked,” as the
little miss deemed proper; and in
due season other real live

came also, just like she was, with
little pug noses and pink toes.
“The hen that can scratch for
one can scratch for a dozen” is an
old saying. Though a homely
old saw, nothing is truer with
which to compare the raising of
a family. The extra plate at the
table seldom works a hardship
in this country. They came,
forming the links in the family
chain, year by year, each bring-
ing new joys to the household
and perfecting the little army
that from force of circumstances
became helpful to one another;
and all the time the “hen
scratched, and so did the rooster.”
Our hero had not long ceased
to be a hero in his own estima
tion, and kept right on “going to
school” with his daughter. The
four hands that were the original
capital of the family had always
brought sufficient to meet the de-
mands, and no discontent was
ever heard that was not laughed
away or overcome by diplomacy.
The school days came for the lit-
tle misses and boys, with their
petty griefs and large joys, while
the same school of experience at
home never closed. The teacher
had enlisted for life, raised her
own school, and had never formu-
lated a set of inflexible rules.
Day by day “that girl” grew to
be more and more like her moth-
er, and fhat family chain link by
link was welded into greater
solidity.
But stay! There was a broken
link. One time there came just
a little mite of a baby, just like
the others, only it will always be
a little mite, because it remained
but a few weeks. It had bright
brown eyes, and had just begun
to take notice of things when one
day the,little lips began to quiver
and the tired look came into the
wee brown eyes. How pathetic
it looked as the spasms of pain
came over .its face like the
shadows passing cloud over
the surface of still water! The
little catch-breaths and moans
that could not be stilled, the
half-shut lids that were watched
with apprehension, and then the
cruelly cruel gasps of pain, then
stillness, silence—baby was dead!
Slowly the features settled to a
state of repose, the little muscles
relaxed, the drawn look passed
awav as though brushed aside by
a zephyr from Paradise, peace
was stamped on the little fea-
tures, and the whiteness and
and purity of the lily was on the
tiny countenance.
Then came another look to the
mother’s eye. The mother-love
was still there, but there was a
horror—a dark, undefinable,
dread-shadowing that no tongue
will e’er depict nor pen portray- -
for just a little timer—and then
tears—blessed tears!—washed tht
horried black away, and resigni-
tion came, allowing the friends to
lay it in its little bed. It was in
the spring time, too early for wild
flowers, but the pussy willows
had burst out in their glory, and
they made it a bed of these.
How cunning it looked on the
pillow among the willow buds!
They laid it away under the pine
tree, and the tiny stone has only
the one word inscribed—“Baby.’?
It was the one broken link in the
family chain.
How they grew, those babies!
Gradually, it seemed at first, then
bounding from childhood to
youth; and one day when the
mother and “that girl” were
walking down the street, arm in
arm. some one thought they were
sisters; and when the man who
thought he was a hero when he
babies j wore “red-topped boots” saw this
step, and she never dreamed of
such a thing. So she was, but it
was the right way, and her moth-
er had guided her into it, so be-
guilingly that she never knew
she Ijad beep molded as olastic
clay.
One day there came a shadow.
It was the shadow of a young
man, and “that girl” was with
Him. There was a little murmur
of rebellion in the heart of our
erstwhile hero, but the mother
looked perfectly unconcerned.
The - j'oung man brought her
flowers after that,* he shadowed
the house—and still that mother
never said a word.
The hero was jealous. Had
he not worn his life out “raising
that girl?” Not a word from
girl or mother: they looked per-
fectly7 unconcerned and appeared
to see nothing out of the ordinary,
while conspiracy deep and dark
was going on day by day, and he
knew it.
It could not last forever, and
one day “that girl” perched her-
self on his knee and, looking as
saucy as a pet crow, calmly told
him what she was going to do,
and he knew she would do just
exactly that, too, when she said
so. She was going to get mar-
ried, and she told him with the
same honest eyes that the gol-
den-haired girl had used in other
days.
The idea of telling a father
what she was going to do and
then asking him if he was will-
ing. He might delay it by argu-
ment, but what man on earth
could argue with two women, and
that girl” had her mother on
her side from thej^t. Of course
she would be married. And then
there Was secrecy again, and
frills and flounces and • milliners
and silks and laces.
They did not do that way in
the days of “red-topped boots.”
They simply hied themselves to
a minister, he joined their hands
and hearts and dismissed them
with a “God bless you.”
Their dower was rosy cheeks
and good health, their fortune
what they could capture in the
battle of life.
EMERGENCY MEDICINES.
It is a great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases
of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A good liniment and one
that is fast becoming a favorite if not
a household necessity is Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. By applying'it promptly
to a cut, bruise or burn it allays the
pain and causes the injury to heal in
about one-third the time usually re-
quired, and as it is an antiseptic it
prevents any danger of blood poison-
ing. When Pain Balm is kept at hand
a sprain may be treated before inflam-
mation sets in. which insures a quick
recovery. For sale by J. W. Peeler.

IN PRAISE OF CHAMBERLAIN’S
COLIC,. CHOLERA AND DIAR-
RHOEA REMEDY.
“Allow me to give you a few words
in praise of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,” says
Mr. John Hamlett, of Eagle Pass,
Texas. “I suffered one week with
bowel trouble and took all kinds of
medicine without getting any relief,
when my friend, Mr. C. Johnson, a
merchant here, advised me to take
this remedy. After taking one dose I
felt greatly relieved and when I had
taken the third dose I was entirely
cured. I thank you from the bottom
of my heart for putting this great
remedy in the hands of mankind.”

he knew “that girl was raised,”
aHd raised right. She was a
companion of her mother, with
the same graceful mien and hon-
est eyes. The problem had been
solved while he was still “at
school.” No danger that any
idle loafer would ever capture
“that girl” for a wife. No
chance for her ever to go wrong.
There was a mentor who knew
every secret of her innermost soul,
who exchanged confidences with
her, who was guiding every foot-
boots” thought he was “selecting
a wife” when he married the gol-
den-haired girl. He also thought
le was major-general of the
tousehold, when she promised to
obey him. He has some differ-
ent ideas on that subject now,
but never had them until recent-
ly. He now thinks that he did
not select the wife any more than
she did a husband, and perhaps
not quite so much, as her gift of
prescience seems to have been
:he greatest. He believed he
could “manage her,” she knew
she could “mold him.” As to
jeing major-general of the house
lold, he now knows that he has
never held a position higher than
irst lieutenant at any time dur-
ing all these years, and that he
las been second lieutenant only
since “that girl” sat on his knee
and so calmly outlined the future,
without so much as hinting “by
your leaved” until she had burned
all the bridges behind her.
The reader will readily see
:hat the “selecting of a wife” in
this case depends more on the
credulity of the boy who wore
:he “red-topped boots” than any-
thing else. But we are afraid
they will also notice that the
mother was raising the girl all
the time that he thought he was
raising her.- The writer started
in to give suggestions in regard
to “selecting a wife” and ‘'rais-
ing a daughter,” but he has told
a simple life story that has con-
tained ten thousand joys to one
grief. If there is a moral to it it
is this: In selecting a wife or a
husband, get one who will pa-
tiently share either grief or joy,
success or failure. Be sure and
get the two “bears”—“bear and
forbear”—then if your union is
blessed with a.daughter, train
her to do the same thing when
the time comes for her to go out
from beneath her father’s roof,
and the world will rise up and
call vou blessed.

DEVOURED BY WORMS.
Children often cry, not from pain,
but from hunger, although fed abun-
dantly. The entire trouble arises
from inanition, their food is not as-
similated, but devoured by worms. A
few does of White’s Cream Vermifuge
will cause them to cease crying and
begin to thrive at once, very much to
the joy and surprise of the mother.
