You can hardly name a vegetable that he is not growing. The suake pole bean, the pride and de- light of Mr. B., and his special favorite first, last and all the time; coro of the Country Gentleman and Evergreen spe- cies; tomatoes of the Mikado, Penderiso, Peach and Golden families, all beauties and some of mammoth size; sage, a rare garden product bereabouts; Salem cul- cumbers, beets, egg plaut turnips, rad. isbes, lettuce, watermelons and musk- melous-these and more are in the gar- den and look exceedingly well and hearty. The whole little "farm" reflects credit upon its big care-taker and he has just canse to feel happy and proud over the good results attained.

Youthful Pleasures. There were at least sixty happy chil- dren last Saturday afternoon, niade so by the thoughtful kinduess of Mrs. Annie Gallisou Hawkins, who arranged a birth- day mienie party in honor of the eighth birthday of ber sup, Burnelle Gallison Hawkins, celebrating his first birthday in America. The children were accom panied by mothers and friends, fully tlurty five grown persons also enjoying the occasion. Tables were spread hear the "villa," upon which were arranged sandwiches, caudy, fancy crackers, ice cream, peanuts, with a whole ªtub of lemonade, and each little guest was pre sented with a small American flag. "Jumbo," the Italian, furnished music upan his accordeon, paying Italian aud American airs, Games and dancing were indulged lu by the guests, and the little host and his mother were assured upou leaving that all had a most enjoyable Ilme.

The free town library, one of the best educational gifts of the nine-

Free Town teenth century to the world, bids fair

Librarles, in the twentieth century to become still more than it Is now a stimulant to intellectual progress. Collections of books for the scholar and the rich there have been from the earliest times; hut a l'- brary belonging to the whole commn. nity. rich and poor, learned and ig. norant. la rer and professional man. is purely a product of the last half- leentury. Fifty years ago, says Youth's Companion, there were about a score In Massachusetts. To-day a but seven of her 33. towns have a free li- brary. In the whole country there are not less than 1 ,0 ) such l'brar'es. But a mere collection of books, with- out a faithful librarian, however val 1. able, is, like an undeveloped mine. practically of no use. The town li- brarian is, Like the library itself. a product of the closing century, and has become a new inte lectual leader in the commun'ty. The minister is responsible only for his particular congregation, the teacher for ber scholars, the doctor for his patients. the employer for his work-people. The Librarian knows no distinction of sect. age, condition or occupation. Through tha help which he gives, sermons are better, teachers more stimulating. doc- tors more skillful. The ill e schoolboy becomes an eager stud. ut. and the in- ferior mechanic an intelligent artisan Through his aid. reading clubs coun- terset the bad influence of sensational newspapers and poor novels. Interest in lova and nationa history is fos- terel, and a discerning love awakened for the munnifold variety and beauty of field and forest life. \ dispenser of light. the faithful librarian is an earnest seeker after light. We know of no body of men und women more zealous endeavor'ng to perfect themselves in their chosen profession Their rew: ni comes in such testimony as was given by the teachers of a Maine city: "We could not teach without the library "

Senator Depew estimates that "fully one-half of all charitable efforts are productive of more harm than good. They increase pauperism, and encour- age panpers to remain paupers The worst form that charity can take is when it pauperizes the recipient." The estimate of one-balf of a.l char- Ity being evil may seem startling: possibly it is exaggerated. If true it is still no argument against a contin- nance of charitable effort. Not less benevolence, but more discretion in manifesting it, is the rule suggested. The charity that encourages self-help ia always good.

Prof. Jordan says the prospect for the twentieth century farmer, from a material standpoint is good. No

THE CHARM OF LIFE

Is Lost When the Burden is Too

Heavy

Life is hardly worth the living with the never-ceasing aches and pains of a bad back. If you would remove the burden of backache, reach the cause-the kid- neys. Doan's Kidney Pills will cure sick kidneys, and the cure is lasting. Here is proof of it.

Mr. Israel A, Morse, of 10 Tyng street, Newburyport, a member of the Board of Aldermen for two years, and Common Council for three years, says : "My ex- perience with and opinions of Doan s Kidney Pills which I expressed through our newspapers in 1896, after taking a course of the treatment, have not altered. I value that preparation more highly to- day than I did when I first published my statement, and that is over three years ago. To my personal experience I car add that of many others in this city who one and all coincide with me in saying tbat Doan's Kidney Pills act as repre- sented.'

Told by the Confidence Man.

The usually hanilsonte, mobile face of the confidence man wore a lugubrious expression as he walked along the Bow. ery. A reflective, faraway look in bts piercing eyes betakened some retrospec- tive musings or sonie inward uneasiness of recent origin-receut because it was but a brief period since I had seen the volatile young gentleman in excellent spirits and basking in the sunshine of prosperity. It was manifest to me at Erst glance that nty usually nonchalant anI blase friend had met with some mis- bap of more than usual moment.

"What's up?" I inquired as I stepped ap to him. he not noticing me In his pre- occupation. "Yon louk as if your moth. er-in-law had eloped."

This gray bearded, prehistoric "chest- aut" evidently fell short of its parpuse, for he luked at tue with a sickly smile. After what I took to be something of an effort he replied: "Oh, nothing. I suppose it must be the wrather: it affects everybody."

For the first time since I had the honor to he favored with the volatile young gentleman's acquaintance I noticed a dis- position on his part to taciturnity, aml, led by a burning curiosity. I determined to persevere in my interrogations.

"Now, my dear boy." I continued, eu- denvoring to become facetious for the purpose of drawing him out, "In the forid nud sententious language of the small boy, 'come off.' The weather, I admit. is depressing, but it requires more than a spell of unpleasant atmospheric condi- tious to upset your moral equanimity."

Ile fidgeted, hesitated aad fiually said: "Well, to tell the truth. I'm completely aut of sorts, An unfortunate occurrence of recent origin bas upset my calculu- tions and plunged me into the slough of despond."

"Was it something out of the usual rut?" 1 ventured to inquire, a vision of "cops" und cells suddenly looming up on my mental horizon.

Ile immediately relapsed into bis for- mer coulition of preoccupatiou, aud, aft- er staring at nothing particular for awhile, he said by way of answer to my query:

"It was just this way: My pal and 1 were niourning the other day over the de- generacy of the times aud the marked pancity of desirable 'suckers," when a gentleman whose appearance was strik- ingly suggestive of pastoral associations bove in sicht, and, exclaiming simaltaae- ously. "There's our pie!' we started for him with the laudable intention of ap- propriating his plethorie 'leather.' "

"The confidence man was rapidly regain- ing his original facetiousness and volu- bility under the stimulus of my interroga- ions and attentive attitude.

"Our friend." he continued, "had just turned iuto Broadway from Chambers street when I rapidly appronched him, and, with the usual counterfeit of sur- prise and gladness, said: 'Well, Mr. Hodgson. this is a surprise indeed! Glad to see you! How are all the folks in Gophertown?

"My verdant friend assured me that his name was not Hodgson, but Williams, and that his genealogical tree bloomed in Bonlderville. I muttered something about striking resemblance and took my leure.

But I refused to assist the old lady You see, my recent lack of the needful and continned hard luck bad awakened all that was sordid and mercenary in my nature.

LESSON ON "TREATING. ""

Why Not a Social Glass of Castor 011 a. Well #. One of Whisky.

It is n well-known fact that much of 'he dissipation and nearly all of the ntemperance of the present duy is due 'o the American habit of "treating." The young man who strokes or drinks is seemingly not satisfied unless be can induce his companion to do likewise. und so it follows that not only does a man drink or smoke two or three tinw> more than he would if alone. hitl many persons who luck the moral cour- age to say Do are led into vices where they would not go if left to themselves It is a reprehensible habit, as well as a foolish nne, and the next time you are asked to smoke or drink, you muy reply by telling the following true story: Mr. Perry was a southern gentleman exceedingly polite und also a very tem

perate man. One day he met an ac. quaintance, who called out: "Hello, Perry! I was just going in to get a drink. Come in and take some- ·hing!"

"Thank you,"said P'erry ; "I don't care for anything."

"But." persisted the other, "come in and take something just for sociabil- ity's sake."

"I want to be sociable," answered Perry. "I am anxious .to be sociable. but I can't drink with you."

"All right." growled the friend. "If you don't want to be sociable. I'll go withont drinking."

The two men walked silently along for a minute or two, the sociable man in n state of great irritation, until Perry suddenly halted in front of a drug store.

"I'm not feeling very well to-day," said he, with a pleasant smile. "and I think I'll go in bere and get a dose of castor oil. Will you join me?" "What!" exclaimed the other. "In a dose of castor oil?"

"Yes: I'll pay for it."

"E-heu!"cried the sociable man, with a very wry face, "] hate the stuff." "But I want you to take a glass of oil with me, just to he sociable, you know."

"I won't do it."

"Indred! My friend," said Perry, gravely. "your sociable whisky is just as distasteful to me as my sociable oil is to you. Don't you think I have as much reason to be offended with you as you bave with me?" .

The sociable man saw the point, and it would be money, health and morals saved if the lesson could be firmly im- planted in the mind of every young man in the land .- Golden Days
