frank face and big blue eyes made you
his friend. The bushwhacker peered
over the log and saw his victim lying on
the stony road and the horse galloping
away in albright, and smile of satisfac-
ton came to his face as he rose up and
hurried through the woods, War is not
always war. Sometimes it is assassina-
tion-murder.
Twenty rods beyond the body lying in
the road is humble cabin, tenanted
only by woman and two children. War
has forced the husband and father into
the ranks. At sound of the shot and the
clatter of hoofs they rise up from their
frugal monday meal and run down to
the gate. A dead man is by no means a
rare sight to mother and children. Hun
dreds of dead have been left on that
highway in the last two years, and at
times the cabin has been full of wounded
men who groaned and cursed.
ats Yankee who's been bushwhack-
ed" whispers the mother as she leads the
way down the road, and presently the
trio are looking down upon the lifeless
form of our Little Jim. No. not lifeless.
The bullet struck him in the side and in
ficted a severe wound, but even while
they gaze at him he opens his blue eyes
and tries to realize his situation.
Looks jest like Uncle Dan!' whispers
one of the children.
Lets begood to himr' pleads the other.
She would. Assisted a bit by the
children, she got him to the house and
had captured prisoner and patient at
the same time. Her husband and her
neighbors had come home with gunshot
wounds, and she had helped to nurse
them and send them back to fight for
the cause she believed was right. Aside
from surgeon our Little Jim could not
have fallen into better hands. She probed
for the bullet and found it. and if living
today he wears it on his watchchain.
The Federals had been holding that road
for weeks, and all that afternoon and
evening the woman listened for the clat-
ter of hoofs that she might report what
had occurred and have her patient taken

One advantage in having the pigs come
in February is that they have that much
longer time to grow before cold, freezing
weather sets in the next fall or winter.
The brood sows must be kept in good,
thrifty condition, and it will not require
very much larger amount of food for
her with a litter Of pigs than without.
If the sow is well fed while they are
sucking, SO as to induce a vigorous,
thrifty growth, the pigs win usually be
ready to wean by the time grass makes
o good start to grow. When they can
have the run of a good pasture. they can
be kept growing at low cost.-Ex-
change.
Devon and Shorthorn beef cattle do
NOT thrive so well on light sandy soil
They want heavy pasturage. They dc
well among hills where the grass is
rank. In river bottoms and in sugar
cane fields in the south they are profit
able.

impossible of accomplishment. He will
not do more now for us or for our chill
dren. Violated laws will have their re-
venge, and whatever remedy there is
must be sought for and applied by the
race under penalty. tt has always been
so, From protoplssmlc germ to man
there has been no suddenly arising crisis
of development. That theory Of epochs,
in which at once and in response to some
catastrophe Of nature, life took sudden
stride forward and rose up q new and
higher creature to surprise the world, is
exploded. Cstsstrophes have overtsken
and will agsin oVertske the lsggsrds in
the march; but the great advance to
manhood, as we know it, bas been by q
uniform growth, by seizlng OF every
opportunity-not to become a wealthier
pearl oyster or more obese hog, but to
become a nobler, higher, more ideal
creature by the search after and the
constant following toward the glimmer-
ing, growing light Of what we call soul,
by striving constantly toward immor-
tslity. Scientifically soul can be nsught
else than the presence in all living things
Of the ideal and Of the purpose Of growth
toward more perfect life; and it's con-
stant presence, in that sense, is proven
by it's constant effect Of growth. Does
such q growth continue to be? Is the
ideal Of life now because, after all the
wild road it has travelled, heaping to-
gether of yellow discs or Of paper certifi-
Gates for them? What a crown to what
a TOLL II there were no God the uni
verse could not so stultify itself. If "the
fear Of God is the beginning of wisdom"
it is not less true that the love Of man is
the beginning Of divinity. Now what is
divinity? If we are to answer from q
scientific standpoint, it 10 the ideal
toward which the law Of development
compels it's highest existing type to
grow, If it grows at all. II il does not 30
grow it does not merely stand, but it
loses its right Of higher life; that is its
soul; that means it retrogrsdes. That is,
to say, man is following the true line of
his necessary development only when he
is becoming God. II we are to be
answered by revelation it comes to the
same thing. The word Of the infinite
whole is not divided against itself. The
mandate is "Be ye holy as I am holy" and
the accompanying promise is I'VE shall
be like Him, for we shall see Him as He
is"
I do not intend now to follow out an
from revelation, but in the
further course Of these papers l will re-
turn to this point. An attack has been
made recently by the Kansas City Times
upon Mrs Lease and cher friends" as il
they were opponents Of Christianity, and
l must pause here to say that while
some Of us care little or not at all for the
"church, " so-cslled, yet that Divine man
who went about doing good in this
world, who was born of a poor lsborer's
wife, who condemned in more scsthing
words than are mine to utter the COM
mercisl and social economy of his day,
who died as q malefactor because Of that,
and who carried the wounds of mems
infiction with him away from this earth
and to the throne of God; that man is
