Fight your own battles. Hoe your own
row. Ask no favors of any one, and you'll
succeed a thousand times better than one
who is always beseeching some ones intlu-
ence and patronage. No one will ever help
you as you help yourself, because no one
will be so heartily interested in your affairs.
Thet first step will be such long one, per
haps but carving your own way up the
mountain you make each one lead to anoth-
er, and stand firm while you chop still an
other out. Men who have made fortunes
are not those who have had $4,000 given
them to start with but boys who have
started fair with a well earned dollar or
| two.
Men who acquire fame have never been
thrust into popularity by puffs begged OF
paid for, or given in friendly spirit They
have out stretched their own hands and
touched the public heart. Men who win
! love do their own wooing, and never knew
a man to fail so signally as one who induced
his affectionate grandmother to speak good
word for him Whether you work for fame
for love, for money or for anything else
work with your hands and heart and brain
Say II WILL and some day you will con
quer. Never let any man have it to say

friends sometimes hurt a man more thar

there is no timothy in the ground the clover
keeping it down. But after the clover is
off il will he most surprising where 50 much
timothy could have been hidden under it.
Timothy and clover seed if sown now, may
be followed with a seeding Of timothy alone
next September, dragging lightly, 50 as u
make little loose earth on the surface for
the seed to root in This, however, willnot
give pure timothy meadow, even in 1890,
and this we suspect is what our correspond
ent wants. 1t is what most farmers are
trying for when they mean to sell hay.
This is not so good for the land as growing
more clover, the roots Of which pulverize
the subsol and remain in it for future
crops. 1t is very hard on land to grow and
sell timothy hay from it for a series OF
years, and there are few soils rich enough
to continue this process very long.-Am

The Farm Home.

1t is truly desirable to reestablish all over
our country those family homesteads which
once existed in New England, but have
been mostly broken up by the now nearly
ended wild rush to the West. As thought
full writer says: IAN old home acquires
power over the heart with the course of
time. 1t comes by degrees to touch the
imagination with a sense of life inherent in
itself Its timbers are not dead wood, As
the vibrations of the music constrain the
iibers of the violin till, year by year, it
gives forth fuller and deeper tone, so the
vibrations of life as generations go by,
shape the walls of home into respon-
sive accord with the human experience
that goes ON within them" We hope to
see many young New England farmers en-
deavoring to found such homes. When
that is done, the great obstacle to better
farming will be overcome. How can one
put his best work into a place which he is
willing TO abandon any day for western

BoULANGER's BACKsET.

BoULANGER may console himself
with the reflection that it is better to be
a live dog than dead lion, for that
thought is about all he has left for con-
ISOLATION. There is no country in the
world where courage is more apprecia-
ted and cowardice more thoroughly
condemned than among the chival-
rous Frenchmen. Hence it is that
the man who was a year ago
the idol of France is to-day so far
down in the scale of popularity that
there are none so poor as to do him rev.
erence. When BoULANGER ran away
from France he bursted the bubble of
his reputation, and dimmed his pros
poets forever. His overwhelming de-
feat in the French elections of Sunday
was not the result of fickleness on the
part of the French people, but it was
done purposely, to emphasize the con-
tempt his cOuntrymen have for the man
who was chosen leader and then de-
serted his followers the moment his
personal liberty was Imperfect. If he
had possessed a moiety of the stuff of
the first NAPOLEON he would have
stayed in France, even though confined
in a dungeon, and thus have expressed
his willingness to die for the people who
confded in him. If he had pursued that
course Sundays election would have
been the climax of a series of triumphs
that would have landed him on the
French throne, if his ambition led in
that direction. AS it is, he will go down
into history as the sorriest figure that
ever coveted national leadership.

WHO GOT TIE STUFF?
Investigation of the Sale OF the
Oklahoma Country.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, July ga spe-
clal to the Gazette from Muskogee,
Ind. r., says: When the Creek nation
desired to negotiate for the sale of the
Oklahoma country, Messrs. Pies, POr-
ter, B. M. Hodges and Isparechee were
appointed delegates to represent the
nation. They drew 10 per cent of the
purchase money, and claimed they paid
that as per agreement, to ex-Gov. Craw-
ford for attorneys fees. The 10 per
cent drawn amounts to 1928, 600, being
$40 per capita. On the other hand. it is
claimed that Secretary Villas cancelled
the contract with ex-Gov. Craw-
ford. To receive Indian money
without the sanction of the de-
partment is an indictable Otfense.
The matter was brought to the notice of
the authorities at Washington and Gen.
Gardner was appointed special agent
to investigate the matter. Gen. Gard
ner arrived here few days ago and
organized court of investigation. A.
p. McKellOp, clerk of the house of war
riOrS, was one of the witnesses. He
testified that the house refused to &C
cept the report of the delegates, and
the house of kings refused to concur.
The investigation will be continued for
several days, and if the services of pO-
litical Whitewater is not secured, the
true inwardnesS of the transaction will
be developed. The accused desire,
thorough investigation, and Gen. Gard
nei will crafty their desire to the full

suite of the shah of
Mascot. Persia is a young
boy of twelve, whom
the shah has covered with dignities and
titles, and who is an object of envy and
fear to most of his majesty's ministers.
His name is Goolamali Khan. He is
the director of the corps of ''royal
pages" and one of his titles is AziZus-
Sultan, ''Favorite of the Mon
arch" Neither minister. vizier
onr royal prince has ever yet
been allowed to sit at the shah's table,
Dut lIO0lamall knan Is an exception TO
this law of the Persians. He is CON
stantly by his masters side, and has
more servants to wait upon him than
any two of the royal ministers. The ex-
PLANTATION of this extraordinary treat
ment IS to be found in the Persian mon
arch's conviction that his life is insepa-
bly, and mysteriOusly bound up with
that of Goolamali Khan, and that wise
men have foretold that the sfah's
death will be preceded only a few
days by that of his young favorite;
that the health and prosperity of the
latter will mean the health and pros
perity of the former; and that, gener-
ally, whatever befalls this little one will
also happen to his royal protector. This
belief has resulted in the boys leading
life of ease and luxury unknown to
the most fortunate courtiers in Teheran.

RAILROAD RUsINEs g.

While the railway magnates talk so
lugubriously of the railway future with
out unification, and there is but little in
the way of new enterprises or extern
sions going on this year, it is a fact that
there are marked gains in business and
profits over last year. The first five
months of this year the reports of
eighty-eight leading roads show an in
crease of SIS per cent in gross earnings,
and net gain in earnings of 1917 over
the same period in 1888. The gains
were much the largest in the last
months, and since then the figures, If
gathered, would make a still better
showing. The average of the crops in
the West is greatly above that of last
year, and there is growing activity ON
all business lines. The railroads will
all have larger earnings than for some
years past, with a reduced percentage
of expenses, if they do not waste the
opportunities in improbable rivalries.
