Albert. I find that most men regard him 
merely as a man who invented a black 
coat, with long tails or skirts. Twenty or 
-'ll) years ago, whenever a man desired to 
clothe his form with a near approach to 
majesty, he put on his "Prince Albert.” 
and then threw out his chest. That is all 
over now. History lots not done full jus¬ 
tice to Albert, He was, in his way. a 
great man —greater, I think, than most 
of the real Fuglisb kings. It was no easy 
job to play the part of husband to a rather 
capricious and idolizing queen. * Albert 
was really a foreigner in a land strange 
and cold to him. but be played his part 
with dignity and usefulness. [ knew a 
farmer once who married the daughter 
of a rich and “famous” family, and had 
to live with his wife’s relatives. He had 
my sympathy. As for the book on “Nu¬ 
trition," it is very sound. But here is 
little Rose ready for bed. She has fin¬ 
ished her apple, and the book savs that 
sleep is as necessary ns food. Well, we 
have find quite an evening before the 
tire. I shall not sit. up to waif for 
the fGrangers. Mother always does that 
when the young folks go out—says she 
proposes to know' what her brood is up 
to. That’s a good habit, too. h. w. c.

a N’lifioi, Meeting.—O ae of fhe high 
schools near ns once in a while has a 
farmers’ day, partly for the encourage¬ 
ment tif the IS boys who are taking a 
course in farming there, and also for the 
purpose of helping the farmers and their 
wives who attend these gatherings. We 
all went down to one of these meetings 
the Other day. and could not help think¬ 
ing what a good thing it is that the 
principal of the school and the special 
teacher who helps him in training the 
hoys for their Work of the future arrange 
these meetings for the public. 
Some Thinch TtUEY Had.—A number 
of speakers had been engaged to talk to 
the boys and their friends, among them 
being a man prominently connected with 
the Farm Bureau, another representing 
the (}. L. F. Exchange, still another who 
spoke on the Dairymen’s League, and a 
couple of men who came over from the 
State Agricultural College at Cornell to 
give some up-to-date information on feed¬ 
ing poultry and stork. This part of the 
program certainly was interesting and 
well worth while. 
Tub Bovs and Thbxh Work. —And 
then we were taken for a visit into the 
department where the boys do some very 
practical things, such as learning to make 
milking stools, step-ladders, trap-nests 
and many other handy and useful arti¬ 
cles for use uii the farm. Not many of 
us could do as well as the boys are doing 
in this direction. I am afraid. Then, 
too. the boys learn how to operate the 
Babcock milk-resting machine. I have 
not time to tell all they do; hut one thing 
I do not want to forget, and thar is that 
three of the present class have lately won 
a beautiful cup for excellence in stock 
judging. The boys are all proud of this 
cup. Close by the side of the case in 
Which they keep it is a picture pf the 
hoys with their coach. I don’t know 
which is the more proud, however, the 
class or their instructor. 
Proud of !Ha Boys. —It was not alone 
the enp which made the teacher of those 
three hoys proud, nor did the work they 
had done seem To he everything to him. 
The fact that these were his boys an 1 
that thev were doing well counted for 
most. I know this was true, because 
after one of the addresses the professor 
marched down the aisle with his boys 
keeping him company, and with a good, 
earnest ring in his voire introduced them 
to those in the hall. How they did cheer, 
those farmer folks, and I am sure they 
were proud, too. 
Tub Best of It Ai.l.—A s those boys 
stood there, so straight and manly, I 
recognized one of them, and I could not 
help being glad in my very heart of 
hearts that that particular boy is forging 
to the front so well. I remembered a 
day several years ago when wp w r ere 
shocked to team that this boy’s father 
and mother and. 1 believe, some of his 
brothers and sisters, were killed on a 
railroad crossing a few miles from our 
farm. He was then a little chap, The 
whole thing seemed one of the most ter¬ 
rible events flint had over happened to 
any of the folks of our quiet community. 
What would become of those children 
Who were lefr? 
“Of a Strong Courage !” —The little 
chaps went here and there to live, and 
for a time 1 quite lost track of them: hut 
here was one of them, working hard to 
master farming; and the principal of the 
school told me thnt he was already capa¬ 
ble of going out and managing a farm 
successfully. In facl, he has already 
done a good deal of practical work of 
that kind, and by the time his course is 
finished at the school he will be ready 
for most anything in the line of practical 
farming.
