Farmers do not study market prices close-
ly, though the daily papers give them reg-
ularly. The farmer who keeps himself well
informed regarding prices of farm products
does not ship to market and wait for re-
turns, not knowing whether he will receive
a profit or sustain a loss; hut sells at the
opportune time, and saves himself anxiety
and annoyance. Every man, even the far-
mer, is more or less in business and should
practice business methods if he desires to
succeed,

MISS BASCOM’S WEDDING.
A Thanksgiving Episode Which Ended
Happily tor All Conéérned,
By sakes! Polly, you dom’t
tell me that you're going to mar:
===dl ry Eph Iawson?’ and Mrs
Thomson took her hands from the dougl
and looked at the prim figure at the win
dow, for Polly Bascom was trim and §
mite over 40. .
“On Thanksgiving day, Sarah. I'd like
to know if I haven't as good a right to—"'
“To be sure you have; but there’s the
parson, who lost his wife last year and
who wants another helpmeet.”
“And there’s the Widow Jones and Miss
Stickle,” said Polly. “I can’t help she par-
son out this time.”
“Really, I didn’t know it had gone so
far. Why, what have you done towards
the weddin’? This is the twenty-third—""
“And I'm as ready as I ever will be.”
“As ready as you've been for 20 years,”
and Mrs. Thomson went back to her work.
Suddenly she looked up.
“Who's goin’ to give the bride away?” she
asked, abruptly.
“We're mot goin’ to have any such hifa
lutin’ proceedings,” pursed the bride-to-be.
HELD OUT HER HAND TO THE PARSON.
“T'd like to ask the privilege of bein’ man
ried in your house, Sarah.”
“Ta be sure. To be sure,” was the prompt
rejoinder. ‘Anything to see you started
well in life, if it isa little late.” And thus
the matter was settled.
Miss Polly Bascom began at once to pre.
pare for the greatest event in her life. Mr.
Lawson was a man of her own age, a timid
bachelor who thus far had escaped the
pitfalls of love, and who, like Polly, had
come te the conclusion that ere long it
would be too late to wed. 3
His courtship had extended over a series
of months and some said that at the last
moment he would “back out” and leave
Polly still in the matrimonial market.
Thanksgiving morning. found Polly ready
for her nuptials. The whole neighborhood
was on the qui vive. And why shouldn’t it
be? Polly Bascom and Eph Lawson. Did
you ever?
“I say, Polly, what if Parson Trimble
had asked you first?’ queried Mrs. Thom-
son, as she looked at Polly in her wed
ding gown.
“But he didn’t. He had more than one
good chance, Sarah, and you know that
I don’t want to miss this one,” and Polly
laughed as she surveyed herself in tne mir
ror.
The hour of seven came on apace and
the little parlor in the Thomson home had
been arrayed for the occasion. The few
:ovited had come, and
