Here stand thy veteran comrades, who, though

We're spared to life aud homo and friends,
Whose hearts like gold, found drossless. by

In loathsome prison pens, thy anguish shared
Aged before their time, long ere the roll Of

Should dim the eye Or bead the form,
Or cause the faltering step that once 10 nrm

No moro disturbed by reveille sound till Cox

1t Is the Man not Agriculture.

Young men on the farm are cir
cumstanced in many respects much
as are the great majority off the
farm. They have a future and it de-
pends very much upon their own ef-
forts what it shall be. Many realize
this and pave the way for success
full career, by reading and study, by
investigation and observation, by a
careful analysis of the means and
methods necessarily employed by
others who have got to the top, and
by practical presevering experiment.
They who do not realize that the
making of themselves is measurably
in their own keeping, take things as
they come, and indifferently rather
than otherwise, plod their way very
much as door upon it's hinges,
without aim, purpose or object.
Work on the farm is hard and unre
mitting day in and day out all the
year round, but so is the daily toll
of those in other callings.

Eckels on the situation.

Comptroller of the Currency James
H. Eckels was the guest of his pred
ecessor, ex-Comptroller A. B. Hep
burn, at a dinner at the Union
League Club in New York last week.
The affair was stated to be purely
social, but owing to the gathering OF
many leading financiers of the city
it was generally regarded more as a
conference on the monetary situation
and the prospective measures for its
relief than purely social meeting.
In response to few words of well
come from the host, Eckels made a
brief speech. The Comptroller said
in part: "The condition which con-
fronts the American people deserves
the thoughtful attention of every
citizen. 1t is not time of panic,
but of slow liquidation, the result Of
undue speculation and unwise finan-
cial legislation. If citizens would
study the character of the institu-
tions which have failed, the causes
and localities in which they have oc-
Cured, and then view the solvent
institutions everywhere also about
them, the conclusion that must fol-
low is that the legitimate lite of the
country is not threatened, but in
stead will come out of the present
turmoil stronger for having passed
through it.
bad banking must inevitably
bring disaster upon those who en-
gage in it. The present stringency
simply hastens the closing of some
banks because they were inherently
weak. Others closed as the result of
keeping alive the operations of spec
ulators.
The art has not been discovered of
making something out of nothing,
and the financier who stakes his all
upon an unbuilt city, reaching out
into waste places, must bring about
the ruin of his own and kindred in
stitutions which trusted in him and
pinned their faith to assets yet un-
born.
The Comptroller said that people
should not invite disaster by with
drawing from solvent institutions
money the depositor cannot possibly
use. People are hoping and asking
much from the banks. In turn the
banks have a right of considerate
treatment from the people. Let
those who have long transacted bus
mess with banking institutions have
sufficient confidence in them to
know and feel that if in years past
they proved safe they are likely to
do so now People who indulge in
runs on banks cause to come about
the very thing they say they wish to
avert.

Agriculture at the Worlds Fair.

The agricultural exhibition at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition is in
teresting, artistic, and shows the re-
sources of the respective countries.
The heart of the farmer must be dull
indeed which will not swell with
pride as he passes down the aisle of
that great building devoted to agri-
culture. Then all the state and gov
crnment buildings have more or less
space devoted to agriculture. In
the horticultural building are fine
exhibits of fruits, flowers and cereals
as well as canned fruits and wines.
Sugar forms an interesting exhibit.
A fine collection of insects is located
in the agricultural department in
the Government building.
