bits of steak left over, and the Parson 
out these up and mixed in. The boys 
declared it great. Our “put-down" eggs 
are corning out fine, and we use those 
now—fry them for breakfast. IWe have 
a lot of pressed tin cups we use in the 
mission work, and the Par son takes five 
of these and puts in a little cocoa in each 
and pours in boiling water, filling about 
half lull, leaving them right on the stove 
till tlie 1 k>,vs are ready. Then if the bread 
is a little old, the Parson toasts a few 
slices. Of course this is not necessary, 
but toast is good in the morning, ami the 
Parson loves to fix it up for them. Even 
Shelley, IS. has not yet so much as tasted 
coflee. It is dreadful how children drink 
coffee. Fortunately the schools are doing 
a great deal to discourage it. 
A Trip. —Well, as the Parson writes, 
Mrs. Parson is upstairs getting ready to 
go on a reel triii and vacation. She has 
not been South to see her people for nine 
years, and this afternoon we start off. 
Little Ta will go with us, and he has just 
now put an empty cocoa can in the Par¬ 
son’s grip ns his share of the baggage. 
We stop in a nearby town tonight, where 
the Parson makes an address at a big 
church supper; tomorrow we wend our 
way toward New York. We shall go by 
train. In New York the Parson expects 
to attend the big conference of the Com¬ 
mission on Rural Work and Life, to be 
held at Teachers' College, Mrs. Parson 
stopping with friends in Northern New 
Jersey. From here we will go to Wash¬ 
ington. Mrs. Parson's native city, and 
from there to Richmond, where she lived 
several years ago We expect to be gone 
about a month. As we may not be back 
for Thanksgiving, we are having quite a 
feast for dinner. Clossie and I sacrificed 
the higgest rooster on the place for the 
occasion, and a neighbor has kindly 
brought in some celery This, with tur¬ 
nips and potatoes aud squash and plenty 
of stuffing, will give us a parting meal to 
be remembered—a sort of Thanksgiving.

The Farmer Always Gets Stung 
The recent railroad and miners' strike 
is estimated to have cost the farmers 
in California, alone, $25,000,000. 
How much has it cost you? Will 
yet cost you? 
No matter who wins in a capital and 
labor fight, the farmer has to pay— 
and pay big. 
How can these conflicts be stopped? 
How can the farmer be protected from 
having to foot the bill every time? 
Governor Allen, of Kansas, has devel¬ 
oped a remedy. A number of other 
prominent men have been studying all 
phases of the way this industrial situa¬ 
tion is grinding down the farmer. 
What they think they tell you in 
vigorous fashion in the next thirteen 
issues of The Country Gentleman. 
Every strike you can help prevent 
puts money in your pocket. Get be¬ 
hind this movement to abolish strikes.
