Furniture
The Library
is or should be a sort of "cosey
corner," and it is an easy matter
to make it such if you leave the
furnishing of it to us. From
Bookcases and Sheves to the lit
tle details of chairs and side
tables, we take care that every
thing is appropriate and fitting,
and the quality of the furniture
leaves nothing desired. In the
matter of prices we cannot be
under sold.

Edgerton's
...Farm.
ICopyriKlit, 1908, by James A. Kdgerton.

Back to Nature and Sanity.
Here is a truthful account of the
way I became editor of a farm.
1 had been a newspaper man for
twenty years. For practically all that
time I had lived in cities, the last five
years having been spent in that most
crowded and maddest of all cities
New York.
I thought I liked it. I was as mad
as the rest. We were all obsessed
with the lights, the motion and tli€
feverish chase of sensation. We were
content to live on the surface until we
forgot there is anything but surface.
People who are quite insane think
every one mad but themselves, and 1
actually found victims of Broadway
itis who imagined all who do not live
on Manhattan Island a liMle queer.
To show what a hold the disease had
on me, I was deluded enough to marry
in the city and to rear my children
there. I do not know what brought
me to sanity at last, whether some hid
den hypnotist behind the scenes sud
denly said "Kight" or whether my soul
asserted itself and caused me to look
at things in a normal manner.
At any rate, I made up iny mind one
spring morning that we had been pur
suing the glitter and leaving the real
light. Even city walls, smoke and
noise cannot stitle all of nature's magic
on a May morning. I suddenly saw
things clearly. I had not been doing
my duty to the beings dependent on
me. I owed it to them to let them
grow and be as nature and < !od in
tended—to take them out of the ab
normal and overcharged air of the
town into the sweet breath of the open
country.
I have often observed that when one
really makes up his mind to do a
thing, and it is the right thing for him
to do, the way appears. I get more
actual satisfaction out of believing In
God than from anything else I do.
The way appeared in this case. A
friend living fifty miles from the city,
far enough to be free from (he zone
in which nature is tamed—and tame
invited me out for a day. We climbed
to ,the top of a mountain, and there I
discovered a new world. It was not
an outer revelation, but an inner. I
was a Columbus who had discovered
myself. I found I had a soul. I had
been told that before, but never more
than half believed it. That view on
the mountain top revealed more than
a landscape. I saw vistas leading off
into undiscovered countries. I walked
on the delectable mountains. I drank
at the springs of beauty. For one
wild, sweet moment I even dreamed
that I saw the smile of God.
At the foot of that mountain, nes
tling between it and the river, I found
a quaint, half abandoned, little, old
farm. I thereupon hugged it to my
bosom and have never let it go.
It was not till the next day I real
ized the problem was but half solved.
I had seen my promised laud, but
could not enter in. I was still under
the obsession of cities, still a slave of
the wheel. My work would not lot me
leave, or so the remnant of my mad
ness said to me. The best I could
hope for was that 1 might die on the
little farm, but could not live there,
in this I reckoned, as we all do. with
out the loving kindness that shapes
all our ways far better than we had
planned or deserved. In a few months
the way became plain and easy togo
to the farm in the valley and to walk
011 the delectable mountains each day.
Then we really began to live.
The happiness of the little folks has
been something new and marvelous
under the sun. This alone has repaid
11s for coming four times over and
forty-four times that.
The Fly In the Ointment.
Recently the mosquitoes held a na
tional convention on my farm. Great
enthusiasm prevailed.
It was at about this time the colo
nel came to see ine. lie was eu
raptured with the scenery. This was
before he had made the acquaintance
of the mosquitoes.
"There is not a more entrancing spot
thun tliis in America," said the colonel.
"This river is like a gem in a setting
of mountains. There is not a thing
1o mar its beauty (slap). It Is a har
mony without a discord (slap), a pano
rama of nature on which the eye (slap)
can rest and never tire (biff, slap),
fee the green slopes of the mountains
tslap) reflected in the waters below
(bitlT, swish, slap). Notice how cool
(slap) and delightful is the air (drat
these mosquitoes!). This (slap) is a
spectacle (biff, bang, slam of gran
deur" But the sentence was never
finished, for just now there came on
a fresh brigade of mosquitoes, and
they immediately went to work on the
colonel's neck and nose. The result
was that his language suddenly be
came too warm to reproduce, while his
gesticulations were even more sensa
tional than Ills words.
Goto the Trees.
When a man tires of life he should
goto nature and renew his vitality.
There is an odor from the trees, the
flowers and the grass that intoxicates
like wine, except that it leaves no
headache. There is a subtle aroma
that gets into a man's heart, brain and 1
soul.
The sunshine and open air are better
medicines than come from the drug
BIK>P. are better stimulants than come :
fi'oui the ruin shop. I liave no quarrel,
understand, with people who wish to
drink nostrums or booze. I am only
stating my own preference.
Give me a wheel, a horse or a rod
and reel, theu out to the tields, the
streams and the mountains. That is
life. Human behfgs were never intend
ed to be shut up forever in the swel
tering, festering town. There is more
beauty in the granite piled up by the
earthquake than in the hideous collec
tion of bricks and mortar piled up by
men. There is more sweetness in the
grass and blossoms than in the clinking
pavements. There is more health in
one good outing than in all the doctors'
prescriptions.
Mature is wholesome, genuine, She
does not Hatter us or lie to us. Sim
does not nng at us or restrain us. She
simply gives us our liberty and lets us
do as we please. She says: "Here I
am. Take me or let me alone. I am
free to all and am never jealous. I
have 110 favors to offer, yet man can
gain from me whatever lie desires. Tu
the weary I give rest; to the poet and
artist beauty; to the avaricious wealth
to the bruised heart balm and healing
to all health, vigor and wholesome en
joyment. I sustain in life and fold
back to my bosom in death."
To one tired of the artificial, the hol
low and the insincere a day with na
ture is like a draft of cold water to one
a thirst.
A Path to Truth,
Tiie greatest crop I have raised on
my rock farm lias been a crop of
dreams, and here is one of them:
Nothing is real that is not perma
nent. Nothing is permanent that is not
perfect. All else passes away. It
strives toward perfection as the wave
011 the shore strives up the sand, only
to fail of reaching the top and falling
back.
What, then, of man Is real, perma
nent and perfect? God's thought of
man, is it not? God's thoughts are
things. They actually create in the one
Bubstuncv, which is spirit. We see but
the apparent man, the symbol in the
manifested world, the imperfect re
flection like the distorted reflection of
the moon in the uneven surface of the
water.
God's man.the one produced by the
divine thought, is perfect. There Is
the eternal of each of us. There is our
real self, the only real self that exists.
Oh, to keep this thought of our
selves ever, to function in this im
mortal nature that God makes by
thinking of us! That would mean per
fect health, perfect joy, perfect broth
erhood and service.
This is one of the visions that have
grown for me on my little rocky farm.
Joe Biggs and the Grasshopper.
The wheat stack was very high and
was just being topped out. The
stacker asked for a jug of water, and
Joe Biggs volunteered to carry it up.
The ladder was long, but still did not
reach within six or seven feet of the
top. Jimmie, the little boy, was 011
the stack, where he had been handing
sheaves to the stacker.
.Toe stood on the very top rung of the
ladder, holding tlie jug as high as he
could, so that Jimmie might reach it.
While ill this position a very large and
hungry grasshopper lit on Joe's wrist
and began operations.
Jimmie did not want to interfere
with the grasshopper's pursuit of hap
piness, so was maddeningly deliberate
in his movements. Joe tried to shake the
insect loose, but the other was so busy
with liis excavations lie did not seem
to mind. Finally Joe could stand it
no longer and, letting go his hold 011
the stack with his other hand, made
a vicious grab at the hopper.
The movement jostled the ladder,
and in a moment more there was a
catastrophe. Joe, ladder, grasshopper,
jug and all began a wild slide down
the side of the stack. First went the
ladder, 011 top of this was Joe, and in
the middle of Joo's stomach lit the
jug, out of which the water went with
a spasmodic "kelug," "kelug," "kelug."
To cap all was a large bunch of
sheaves which the wild descent had
torn off the wagon. This frightened
the horses, which began prancing and
lunging.
Out of all the chaos, however, arose
Joe Biggs, scratched and stunned, but
triumphant, holding aloft with a grim
smile the body of a dead grasshopper.
As over cloud and Bloom,
As over shroud, and tomb.
Still there is light.
So, tempest tossed today,
Truth may seem lost today.
Yet in her might,
Radiant, glorious,
O'er all victorious.
Rises the riglit.
"To liini that overcometh"'—in that:
phrase is packed the whole meaning
of life, it is not easy to overcome,
but nothing that is worth while is
easy. Rise above self. Triumph over
environment, it. is all a question of
rising, struggling, conquering, over
coming.
Anger and pride cannot live with
love and happiness, for auger starts
a quarrel, and pride keeps it going. Re
fore it is composed two hearts are bro
ken and love and happiness have gone
tu live in more congenial company.
One of the happiest men I ever knew
lived in a cabin and one of the most
unhappy dwelt 111 a palace. From this
I have concluded that where <lllO keeps
his body dues not matter so much ns
where he keeps his soul.
Most evils grow out of the fact that
v. e are too artiticlal, too abnormal, too
effected. We are too far from Nature
that she would not know some of Us
without en Introduction.
