Booth as a Bill-poster,
At these times he wasin his very bes t
mood, and would tell story after story of
hislifeand adventures, and of his meeting with famous men and women—all of
the deepest interest, and told in the
most vivid manner. One story of his
trip to the Sandwich Islands remains
with me. He had gone there in 1854
in company with his comrade; Mr.
David C. Anderson, en route to Australia, aud they were to play in ihe
Royal Hawaiian Theater. They had
hired a native to paste up tho bill announcing the performance; this had "to
be doue with a preparation named "poe-
poe,:! made from a vegetahle called
"taratarr," which is a favorite food in
Honululu; but the poor man was so
hungry that yielding to temptation he
incontinently ate up the paste, and to
their surprise no hills appeared. When
the reason was ascertained they feared
to trust another native, and -it was
therefore agreed that as Booth was the
younger he should act as bill-poster,
and it came to pass that every night
after the performance Edwin went
about thc city with his play-bills and
bucket of paste, and put up with own
hands the posters announcing what the
company would play qjj the following
night.   And he assured_.iae that he did
The Case of New England Farms.
"Xou can find any number of farmers
In Massachusetts -who are ready, to
curse God and die because they cannot get rich" by farming, but the fault
ia in themselves, and there is no occupation in which they could succeed
any-better unless they proceeded hy different methods." This is the remark of
a -writer in the Boston Herald, who has
been investigating the New England
abandoned farms. As a result of his
work he is ready to stake his judgment
on the assertion that if farmers of New
England would put as much brains and
hustling, into their work as the banker
does into his business the result would
be equally good.
One cause of the abandonment of the
farms has not been greatly dwelt upon
till the Boston Herald writers mentioned
it. From time immemorial the most energetic and brainy young men and young
women, too, have left rural life in New
England and all over the country to try
their fortunes in the city. The cities today constantly draw their supply of
brains and energy from the farms. Only
for this the cities would actually run out
in course of time. They are an artificial
product anyhow and must constantly be
replenished from the strong, red blood
of the country. In New England this
tapping of rural life for tho benefit of
the city has gone on longer than elsewhere in America, The result is that
the farms are today stripped of their
brightest and most ambitions sons and
daughters. The Herald writer is bold
enough to say that the stupid and anti-
hustling ones' are those who are left behind on the farms.
These will not keep up with the
changed requirements of modern agriculture. One who succeeds in any field
of human endeavor at present must
adapt himself to the circumstances as
they occur, for never since history began did changs follow change in every
walk ao rapidly as it does at the close of
the nineteenth century. The farmer
who cannot keep up bids fair to end
his days in a poorhouse or else as the
tenant of some rich city man who
bought his old farm- and turned it into
a show place.
But The Herald man found a farmer
so besotted in his clinging "to ancient
ways that he even put his haystacks
year after year upon the same spot his
father did.
There is a brighter prospect ahead,
however. In Vermont butter making
and sheep farming are bringing even
more than the old time prosperity to
certain parts, Avkile dairying and vegetable farming are doing the same in
Massachusetts.

Should They Be Pensioned?
A sweeping pension bill in behalf of
government clerks and employees has
been introduced into the United States
senate possibly to sleep till resurrection
morn. This bill asks that a disability
pension be granted to government employees injured in the line of duty; also
that they be compensated for their injuries. Of course no reasonable person
will object to giving a pension to government clerks and employees disabled
in the line of duty, but the bill goes further and provides for pensions for all
persons retired with an honorable record through sickness or old age after
they have been in tho service not less
than 20 years.
But really is there any reason why a
government clerk should have a pension
-any more than anybody else who grows
old in a clerical situation? He does not
work for the government for its good,
but his own. The government does not
ask him to work for it. On the contrary,
it would rather so many excellent and
intelligent individuals did not apply to
it for clerkships. If the pay is not sufficient for the clerk, he is at liberty to go
somewhere else and get more. He is a
very poor stick who, outside of the military or naval service, wants the government to take care of him when he
gets old.    	
It is scarcely to be wondered at that
the attempt of the British government
to colonize the Scotch crofters in the
Canadian northwest failed. State colonization is apt to fail. The stuff of
which successful pioneers are made must
be the best blood of a land, and the pioneer must make up his own individual
mind to go and stick to it till he betters
himself, depending meantime on himself alone. Perhaps, however, if the
British government had assisted the
crofters to come to tho United States instead of to the Canadian northwest, the
es^eriment would have been successful
