PETER RADFORI) ON FARM
I ACTS.
Get the difficulties out of the
farmers way and the farmers' prob-
lems will solve themselves.
The increase in prices of farm
products has not kept pace with the
increased cost of living.
The farmer can produce without
organization, but to successfully
market he must be united with his
neighbor.
The farmer cannot be helped until
and operating hand of his business.
He combines, directs and carries all
responsibilities.
BOTH TRUTH AND POETRY.
Ever since time began it has
been a human fallacy to regret our
own position in life and to envy
that of another. The average bus-
iness inan wishes he were a fanner.
From his point of view, the farmer
is the happiest and most independ-
ent man on earth. But the farmer
can't see it that way. Often he
buys a three or four hundred dol-
lar horse and gets it home just in
time for it to lie down and die.
Then the farmer wishes he were a
business man whose stock can't die
—unless he is so folllsh as to re-
fuse to advertise. An exchange says
a farmer has sent In the following
which shows some of the "Joys" of
the farm as a vocation:
It's scarcely any wonder that lines
are on my brow: it's hard to make
a living as things are going now.
I plant some nice potatoes and sit
down to watch them grow; then
comes the frost a whooping and
lays the blame things low. I plant
some little seedlets to raise some
succotash; my neighbors' hens come
over and knock them all to smash.
I had a little arbor in which to
snooze and rest; a cow came in
and climbed it and sent it gaily
west. I bought a dozen egglets,
(which cost so much I cried); they
hatched a lonely chicken and it
went off and died. The insects ate
the cabbage, the worms have nailed
the corn, my horse has got the glan-
ders, my cow has lost a horn, my
pig has got the measles and squeals
unseemly tunes, my ducks are hunt-
ing water and I am full of prunes.

GETTING EVEN WITH BARNES
By ROBERT MACKAYI. •
THE routine dally life of John
II end j, broker and bachelor, in-
eluded the. rearing of a spray of
lllles-of-the-valley. For twenty-odd
years the little florist around the cor-
ner had left, twice daily, a boutonnlOre
of pure little bells at the llendy apart-
ments. Seasons did not affect the tad.
or custom wither It. In tact, Mr.
Ilendy was bo Identified with the
Bowers that he was Jocularly known
among kia fellow brokers as "Old
Lilly Bell.' The boiltonnlfcrs was the
finishing touch ot his Immaculate per-
son.
On this par'lcular day, John Ilendy
Uras seated in a Sixth Avenue trolley

fee lion ot New York's shopping dis-
trlct, and the usual swarm of parcel
laden, chattering women entered. John
Bendy uotleed in the crowd a pretty
young romar tugging along n dear unite
of a four-year-old girl. She edged her
.way along the car and stopped in front
of him—stopped because the mass of
passengers prevented her from going
farther. She was tired, anil tin s!gh
 be nt~rc£ *TC?ed Hendy arose and
gave her his seat.
She sat very close to the next pas-
senger to make room for the four-year-
old, whose eyes were quickly arres:< I
|>y the boutonntfre of lilies. Mr ilendy,
twinging as gracefully as possible from
a strap, bumped against the little one.
and as he leaned over to apologize, she
amlllngly requested him to give her a
flower.
"RuthI now dare you!" said the
young woman.
The child, her face crimsoning,
turned and buried her head on her
mother's shoulder. A few moments
passed and she peeped up shyly at the
lilies. Mr. Ilendy caught her eye aud
Willed responslvely.
"Madam," said Mr. Ilendy, "your
little girl has beeu admiring my lilies.
Will you permit me to present them
to her?" The upturned face and the
outstretched hand ot the child were
fcbe answer.
When be reached home there was
mild consternation among his soft-
voiced, soft footed servants when they
aoted the absence of the lilies. Some-
thing was about to happen, they sur- nomm<
mlsed—direful perhaps, disastrous pos- L ()|p hu|b ..
iibiy. but extraordinary surely. j^ua
Dinner was over. The man of the
l!ly sprays sat In his library gazing
absently out ^er the green dimness of
the park, amid which arc lights flitted
and gleamed like big lireflles. From
the nearby roof garden of a big hotel
came the filtered strains of a waltz.
In his apartment was that velvety
quiet that belongs to dwellings of high
rents and thick carpets. The combina-
tion inspired him to dwell with old
memories.
In business circles, Ilendy lind the
reputation of being a bulldog in per-
tinacity. This kept him on the trail
of Archibald Barnes tor a score ot
years. Both men when quite young
went into Wall Street, and prospered.
When nearly thirty years of age Ilendy
wai accepted by Gertrude Harrington,
daughter of the cashier of a small New-
Jersey bank. ltarnes had been in love
with her also, lie took the engagement
coolly, and congratulated llendy, his
closest friend, in a very warm fashion.
Shortly after the engagement was an-
nounced, llendy had months of per-
sistent bad luck. Ill" finances were so
impaired that the wedding was indefi-
nitely postponed. One day he became
cognizant of a forthcoming movement
In a group of certain industrials. The
program was cut and dried by a clique.
Go'ufc over his resources, Ilendy dis-
covered that he was short two or three
thousand dollars of the total amount
needed to bring about the coup that
meant fortune to him. Under a sworn
promise of secrecy, he confided the sit'
nation to Barnes, Barnes at once ad
vauced the money required aud inti-
mated that If Ilendy didn't object he'd
take a "flutter" himself.
"By the way," suggested Dartres,
"why don't you let your future father-
in-law in on this. He's old. can't work
very much longer, aud It would be a
Christian ait to allow him to get a
dead sure thing."
"A capital Idea, Archie." Next day
the old cashier put the savings ot a life-
time In the deal.
The movement contemplated was the
ever-old and ever-new method ot "bear-
ing'' the Industrials, buying them out
at their minimum figure, permitting
theui to slowly regain th«lr normal
prices. Inaugurating a sudden boom
and. before the strength is spent,
throwing the remaining securities on
the market. The first part of the pro
gram worked fairly well, although
there was n feeling In the air that
somebody was antagonistic to the full
fruition of the scheme. Then, Just as
the boom was inaugurated, It seemed
to burst like a nubble.
"A temporary movement," said
Ilendy.
The shorts hammered, hammered,
hammered the stocks until they "sank
Margins and again mar-
like mists of morning. At the end of
three days Ilendy was literally penni-
less. The old cashier's earnings nad
gone. Barnes declared he had been so
hard hit that he couldn't lend his
friend even a hundred dollars.
A week later, Ilendy received a curt
note from Gertrude's father. "I beg
that you will discontinue your visits
to my home," It said. Enclosed was n
line from Gertrude, indorsing the senti-
ment. The heartbroken man sought
Barnes, and Barnes unsympathetically
suld: "7i serves you right."
A few days later the newspaper® be-
gan to publish sensational head-lines
about a pudding .Napoleon of finance.
All this floated across the mirror of
Mr. Hendy's memory as he sat solitary
in his library. Between whiles would
come the eyes of the child he had seen
In the car, or the eyes of his old sweet-
heart, he scarcely unew which, they
were so alike. But, sometimes, when
the eyes seemed true and trustful, he
thought of them as the eyes of the
child, looking at him when he gave her
the lilies. When they seemed siul and
reproachful he fancied them to be the
eyes ot the woman who would surely
have cause for sadness within the next
week or so, when his wrath should
fall swiftly and surely oil her husband
aud all that was hia.

was the most pertect bit ot destructive
financial machinery that he had de-
signed during his whole career. Barnes
had been heavily hit over N. P., as he
knew. There were Street rumors about
certain speculations ia local transporta-
tion stocks that had further depleted
the Barnes exchequer.
Mr. Ilendy, with a grim, satisfied
chuckle, stepped out upon the balcony
to finish his cigar in the quiet ot the
autumn night. From the street came
the quick, sweet laugh of a child. The
leaf of a neighboring vine, dead before
its time, wavered toward the listening

Ills name was Archibald Barnes, and
it was averred that it was mainly by
his foresight and sagacity that the "re-
cently exploited industrial pool was
brought to such an unexpected and dis
astrous ending." llendy gritted his
teeth in impotent fury, for he now
realised that Barnes was a traitor and
was responsible for the crash.
"I'll make the scoundrel sweat for
this," said Ilendy, "if it is the last act
of my life." The sentiment was re-
peated with double force two months
later, when the wedding of Gertrude
Harrington aud Archibald Barnes was

What sentimental humbug was he In-

schemed and waited for the time when
he could serve out to Barnes a big
dose of the bitter medicine that Barnes
had compelled him to swallow. The
time was now. He l ad caught Barnes

the child's eyes so like Gertrude's ot
the days that were. Again came the
remorseful qualm, followed by a glow
of the dull steadfast hate of Barnes.
He picked up the dead leaf and eyed
It thoughtfully. Withered before its
companions! But what of that. At
best, those remaining had but three or
four more weeks of life awaiting
them. Such n little space separated

At the sides of the roof garden were

one of these llendy anchored nimselt
and communed with n waiter. Then ne
began to take cognizance of his sur-
roundings. He scarcely noted that at
the table nearest him the chairs were

had been reserved arrived and seated

In all, and, with a sort ot dumb as
tonlshment, Ilendy saw among them
Barnes, and a handsome, dignified gray
haired woman in whom he had no dilfi
culty in recognizing the Gertrude ot
his youth.
Gertrude Barnes! Iler maidenly
beauty had ripened Into matronly win-
someness. The intense blue of her
eyes remained. For that the watcher
telt curiously thankful. Barnes looked
worn and haggard. Hendy, familiar
with the Street and its crop ot physical
anc aiental ills, had no difficulty in
translating the lapses Into abstraction,
the forced gaiety, the nervous move-
ments ot the fingers, the sallow skin,
and the shifting, irritated gaze ol the
man before him. Barnes was being hit,
and hit heavily, bo these signs said
Hendy felt sure that the stricken
man saw farther nhead than his cur-
rent difficulties; and, seeing, looked
upon a hopeless future.
