The Kane County Supervisors are
discussing the propriety of repeating
the bounty on wolves and substituting
one on crows, the only bounty on wolf
scalps in the last few years having
been paid by the clerk being on those
of some infant foxes: whereas crows
uproOt corn and other grains, suck
hens eggs and destroy prairie chickens
by eating their eggs and killing the
young. We published a pretty story
lately about some farmers who drove
away the crows to save the corn, but
found their crops so ravaged by cut
worms and other insects that they
were glad to coax the crows back.
Moral: The farmer has no better friend
than the crow.

They took along for refreshments two

The papers ridiculed them for taking
along such an enormous quantity of
solid in proportion To the liquid re-
freshment, but the HcrdH next day
makes it all right by stating that the
loaf of bread was brought back in the
evening untouched, having been taken
along as mascot. In rigidly prohi-

mistake was likely to he made as that

THE SUPREME SERVICE.

Our Chief Concern Ought to BE to Live
Deeply, Richly and Nobly.
One Of the heresies which mislead US
is the belief that we are useful only when
we are actua ly doing something with
our hands and feet. The word doing. says
the Christian Union, is underscored in
almost every mans practical philosophy
of life; the word being is generally
written in small characters. No wise
man will underate the Importance Of
activity, because every such man un-
derstands that there can be no real life
which does not bear fruitage. But the
tree does not live consciously for the
sake Of bearing fruit; the fruit Is the
overflow Of its vitality. We ought to
live in the same fashion. Our chief con-
Germ ought to be to live deeply, richly
care of itself. No one can make the
word being full Of depth and meaning
without also giving new depth and
meaning to the word doing. To be great
implies the doing Of great things, but
no man becomes great by any activity
outside Of himself; he is first Of all.
great in himself, and his activity is
simply revelation of his greatness.
The first concern of us all is to be
noble. The idea that activity is the
only measure of usefulness con.
stantly misleads superficial people,
who are continually doing things
with very little thought and very little
spiritual force, into the belief that they
are attaining great spiritual growth
while, on the other hand, it constantly
misleads people who have 1taall strength
or small opportunities, and who can do
but little with their hands and feet, into
the belief that they are of very little use
in life. The real measure of greatness
is always an inward and spiritual meas
ure. 1t is a test which can not be
evaded, which dissipates false standards
and conventions like the mist, and gets
at the very heart of character. The
greatest service which any of US can rem
der to our fellows is, first and foremost,
to be so evidently strong, earnest and
cheerful that the discouraged take new
lease of hope from us, the doubtful Sc
cure new vision of faith, and those
who have fallen, new impulse to get
on their feet again. 1t Is of infinitely
more Importance to-day to pour a new
tide Of victorious faith and hope and
strength into the souls of men than to
do any thing, anywhere: Besides this
supreme service of feeding the spiritual
life of the world, all doing, however
magnificent, is comparatively insigniti-
cant. The greatest servants Of human
ity are those who, by embodying a no
BILE ideal of life, constantly reinforce the
faith OF those who are feebler in the pos
sibility of such life. reconcile them to
the hard conditions Of their own exist
ence, and inspire them with faith
which of themselves they could not
achieve.
