To the Editor of The Dallas Herald:
A loud and tormenting din and tu-
multi has been raised by some preten-
sious and aspiring demagogles over the
neglect which has been visited upon
farmers, and the farming interests in
general. The tremendous zeal so sud
denly manifested by some gentlemen
for agriculture, and the honest, hnfd-
working tiller Of the soil Is suspicious,
and is rather strongly and unpleasantly
suggestive Of ways that are dark, ana
of tricks that are sure to prove VAN.

degeneracy Of the times, that the hon

likely to be swamped in II ilood-tide OF

with the tricks and lnavery of the pro
fessed politician, and would forever
bury him out of sight, in dshonored
grave. If these gentlemen are honest
in their intentions, let them prove
their faith by their works, and not, as

A Happy Thought.

There is n good deal of fun being
poked at the Postnlaster-Gencraps De
partment just now, in reference to the
new postal cards, which, in u little
time must totally play out. The Post
master-General having decided that
postmasters have no right to read what
is written on the backs of postal cards,
but that il is their duty to exclude from
the mails all Of an obscene OF indecent
character, the Philadelphia Bulletin
makes centre shot thus.
"That was happy thought of the
Department which guards against inn
proper uses of postal cards. The car
riors are not to read what is written on
the cards unless it is scurrilous! 1t
will be seen that this is u perfect
security against the abuse of the new
SYSTEM"
From another source we learn that
" disloyal devices" are among the
things that postal cards will not be per.
mitted to contain, in view of which 1t
would he well if n definition of the
words tloyal or disloyal devices
should be issued by the Post-ottice
Department for the benefit or suffer
ing public. 1t would no doubt be con
sidered disloyal to write on n postal
card that the Postmaster-General is q

the fall or early winter, at the age of
sixteen to twenty months. This is good
evidence that this plan pays best under
all tie circumstances, and yet there is a
respectable minority who insist, and
give weighty reasons for their position,
that it pays best to have pigs come
early, "crowd" them, and sell them
when eight Or nine months old. The
argument of the larger class is that it
takes comparatively little to keep the
pigs in fair growing condition the first
winter, and that the second summer
they will make rapid growth at very
little cost in the clover field, and later,
in the stubble fields. The argument on
the other side is that it takes certain
quantity of food to sustain life, and that
the food necessary to keep the store pigs
in good condition through the winter
and spring months, and through the
next summer, if fed to them during the
first summer and fall, would give them
a fine growth and good size then much
less corn would fatten them than would
be necessary the second fall. There is
no special difficulty in making a pig
weigh three hundred pounds when nine
months old, but it is claimed that this
cannot be done where large numbers are
kept together. We wish there were
more records of actual trials of these
plans, SO as to better get at the actual
cost of raising and fattening pigs, lit
tered say at the first of April, and sold

4 SUNDAY LESSON.
BY II. II. NEwHhLL.

one Sunday morn, my footsteps led me where
The Heaven-asrirng steeple pierced them blue;
The backning bell, with sweet, persuasive voice,
Badc me to enter and partake the feast
OF heavenly viands which the gody
should with free hand dispense. l stepped within
The pcaliug organ and Concordant choir
Walked with symphony the yaulted space,
And thrilled my very soul with love for Him
Who the theme of such meodious tones;
For the well-timed recurrence of a stress,
And periodic cadency and swell
OF sounds harmonious, which are, alone,
Entitled to the name Of music pure
Act on the finer senses of the mind,
And elevate the soul nefIably.
My heart was fully open to receive
The tidings glad which He of Nazareth
Did bring-when, 10 the legate of the Lord.
iiowling his screed, with swift, persuasive fist,
Smotc the rounded velvet of his desk
And said that man totally depraved
And, furthermore he never did nor could
Do aught to please the Lord he could not help
Himself and, if he called not on his God
In such peculiar way pleased Him well,
He could obtain no favor from On High.
And thus he made the road to Heaven above
SO difficult to tread that even he
Who is than fool more wise, must err therein.
Such singular confusion of the Word
Rendered rcpulsive all the preacher said.
And east sorrow where joy had been;
For g Heaven will help the ones who help them
selves"
Is sweetest music to the faiuting soul.
I passed from out the portals of that church,
Feeling it no temple Of the Lord
And that His Word was wrtsted to conform
To narrow views of narrow-mnded men.

COLLEGE hi-hLTI.


Outside the regularly organized socie-
ties which have lodges at Cornell, there
are others which are formed for the sole
purpose of initiatory absurdities. Arthur
l.. Miller, freshman from Buffalo, was
recently victim of one of these bogus
societies, of which there are six or eight
in the University. He says that the
candidate is taken from his room after
midnight, and led to secluded room in
a secluded street, where the members
have gathered in masks to see the fun.
He is blindfolded and pinioned, and
then led over boxes, chairs, and other
obstacles until his shins are barked and
he is tired into resistlessness. The room
is in a commercial building which is fur
nished with an elevator, and down this
the victim is next dangled at the end of
rope, this frightening process being
followed by tossing in blanket. He is
then saturated with water from squirt
guns, after which the blindfold is re-
moved amid hideous noises, demoniac
lights, and fendish dresses, and q
pledge Of secresy is made. After this,
he is usually blindfolded again, placed
in coffin, and some process resorted to
which is intended to convince the vic
tim that he is dying. This is sometimes
