so scarce that the canal boats of
our distracted country were rotting at
their wharves and gilded horseshoes

Richly has it repaid us, however, with its
long, green, timber branc hes and its little
yellow nubs on the end. How full of
promise is the glorious Scandinavian plant
we call the Ole Andre. How full of prom

of all. 1t is the amateur statesman who

How the Name Came to Be Applied to
Southern Illinois.


How the Name Came to Be Applied to
Southern Illinois.
IS. L. Dwight, in Springfield Republican
was born and raised in Jefferson Coun-
ty, Illinois, and grew to manhood in the
family of my grandfather, Governor z.
Casey, one of the early prominent men OF
Southern Illinois. He came to Jefferson
County (which is part of Southern ILL
nois) in 1916, while Illinois was yet Ter
ritory. Governor Casey was at one time
Lieutenant of the State, for a
number of years a prominent member of
Congress from Illinois, and held other i'm
portant positions. He was fully identified
with the State and psople up to the time
OF his death, which occurred in 1852. /
mention these facts to show you that !
know whereof I speak. Governor Casey
often explained to me in my childhood why
Southern Illinois was called Egypt
and it was this: About the year 1885 q
am not certain as to the exact year,, there
was throughout Northern and Central Illi-
nois a great scarcity of corn, while all
through Southern Illinois there was very
great abundance; as a consequence, the
following fall and winter great numbers
came down into Egypt" las in ancient
times the people went down into ancient
Egypt for like purpose) to buy and carry
back corn to supply the wants of the peo-
pie in that part of the State where the corn
crop for that year had been a total failure.
The chief product of the State at that time
was corn; but little else was cultivated.
1t was the staple article of food, both for
man and beast. And thus Southern uli-
nois came to be called Egypt The
''thick darkness" and the extreme ignor-
ance never did exist here,

STICK TO THE FARM.

why Agriculturalists Have No Cause for
just Complaint. @ EM
We often hear farmers complain of
their calling because the profits are 50
small, while in some other kinds OF
business, of which they know little,
the profits are said to be so large. As
class, farmers have no reason to COM
plain, for their profits will average as
large as those realized in any other
kind of business where the risk so
small. Farming is safe business.
Few farmers fail. The business will
not, it is true, allow its owner to livein
idleness and luxury, but it will, u
properly attended to, give him good
living. Large profits, as rule, mean
great risks. The Spectator in stocks
may, by lucky turn in the market
make large profits, but the market may
turn against him and he be swamped in
day. Such person can not get much
real enjoyment out of life, while the
farmer may get comfort and enjoyment
in solid chunks. ~
There is no better way than to &C
eumulate competency little by little
The farmer can do this. There is
scarcely year when he can not lay by
something if he will. Contentment IS
the secret of happiness, and no one
should be more content with hislot
than the prosperous farmer. Il It Is
said that not every farmer is prosper
Gus, it may be said in answer that there
are not more than ten out OF every

failed sometime during their lives.

Ciaverhouse and his burly soldiers, or
John Brown, the Edinburgh carrier, and
his wife? Mr.. Atkins, the prosecuted min
lister of Jesus Christ in Scotland, was

Claverhouse rode up one day with his armed
men, and shouted in front of the house.
John Browns little girl came out. He said

horse and he put it on the little girls hand,
and began to turn it until the bones
cracked, and she cried. He said: ''Don't

thumbscrew, this is a nosegay. And they

FLOODED CATTLE,

The heavy investments being made
by our people in all parts of the State
in fine dairy stock, is one of the most
hopeful signs of the times. We un-
derstand that a great many of the fine
Holstein cattle imported by the late
Colonel Archibald, of Lafayette county
last Fall, have been purchased by farm
ers in that, and adjoining counties.
Creameries are springing up all over
the State. Lauderdale county has re-
Gently established one, and following
close on its heels comes Holmes county
with an enterprise of like character.
Over three hundred shares, at five
dollars per share, have already been
taken in the latter, by such men as E.
O. Sykes, Judge L. E. Houston, Chan.
cellor Mcfarland and J. W. Howard,
who head the subscription list with
twenty shares each. 1t really begins
to look as if the COW has come to take
the place of the negro as a wealth
producer. 1t is a change to which no
one will object. The men of twenty
years hence, instead of boasting, as
many men of the present day do, that
they drew sustenance in their babyhood
from a black mammy's breast, can
boast that they drew life and strength,
for a grander devel pment, from nc
such slothful fountain, but drank the
rich cream of progress from the
generous udder of a docile Holstein OF
a meek-eyed Jersey.

THE BLAIR EDUCATIONAL
BILL.

This bill, providing for National aid
to Education, is being vigorously
pushed by its friends in Congress, and
there is every reason to hope for its
passage. The Aberdeen Examiner,
which gets its inspiration from its
editor, Major S. A. Jonas, now in
Washington, in discussing the bill,
says:
We still adhere to our original view
that it would be far better for the
country, and in the direct line of equity
and justice, to provide for a distribu-
tion IN accordance with the ratio of
population instead of the ratio of IL
literacy. In such a distribution we
would get our full share, and every
State would be treated fairly while no
one of them would be punished, or
fined, as it were, for having made great
educational progress.
If the plan of compensating illite-
racY should become a settled policy OF
the government, it would not be long
before the New England States would
try to show more ignorant people than
the Carolinas.
