My Creed.


/ hold that Christian grace abounds
Where charity is seen; that when
We climb to heaven tits on the rounds
OF love to men.
hold all else named piety
A selfish scheme, a vain pretense:
Where center is not, can there be
circumference
This |, moreover, hold, and dare
Affirm where'er my rhyme may go,
Whatever things be sweet or fair,
Love makes them so.
Whether II be lullabies
That charm to rest the nursing bird,
Or that sweet confidence of signs
And bushes made without word.
Whether the dazzling and the flush
OF softly sumptuous garden bowers
Or by some cabin door bush
OF ragged flowers.
-Tis not the wide phylactery,
Nor stubborn fast, nor stated prayers,
That make us saints; we judge the tree
By what II bears.
For when a man can't live apart
From works on theologic trust,
know the blood about the heart
Is dry as dust.

1t was summer evening when he
came galloping down the road and
pulled up at the gate. She was Mt the

He threw the bride over the fence

He tore himself away from her as he
spoke, and, fiinging himself upon his
horse, galloped furiously away, never
even looking round, as though afraid
that his resolution might fail him if
he took one glance at what he was
leaving. She stood at the gate gazing
after him until he vanished from her
sight Then she walked back into the

The girl is young, and we would not

we deprive her of all choice. We eld-

and either of them would gladly well

Let her choose between them. They
are young and rich, and of the true

Ferrief remained silent for some lit

last. My daughter is very young;
she is scarce of an age to marry"

UNIQUE PRoFEssoRsHlPs.


Not All the Learning In the Land is
Housed i'm Colleges.
Nowadays the professors in our col
leges would do well to be. addressed
simply as "Mr. Smith" MIR. Jones'"
the title Professor" being no longer
distinctive.
A short time ago as walked through
the hall leading to my clearinghouse
bedroom, / was surprised to see the
door open and a man on his knees i'll
the corner. l inquired of the chamber
maid, why he was there.
"Oh, he's all right" she answered.
"He's Prof. Wilkins"
Prof wilkins! Had the man suddenly
gone mad? or had he discovered some
new specimen of animated nature in
my apartment?
"Why did you bring him up hereW
I asked. Il always wish to have cali
ers wait for me in the parlor."
"Oh," giggled the girl, what would
he be in the parlor for? He's Prof.
Wilkins, the mouse man. Some of the
boarders complained there was mice
in the house, and. he's looking for
themv'
When I interviewed Prof. Wilkins,
he informed me that he was q pro-
fessor of rodentology, and found that
his mind really had scientific turn.
He gave me some interesting facts
in connection with the mouse-catching
business. One tale was of a lady who
was sued by her maid for damages,
because, in her terror at discovering
mouse in sugar basin, she had
flung mouse, sugar and basin at the
girls head.
Another story illustrated the inf1u-
ence of certain conditions on dreams.
The professor assured me that one of
his customers dreamed of mice when
ever she ate chees
On the register of hotel in a West
ern town l read: prof. Perkins and
staff" A geological survey was in
progress. Probably, I reflected, Prof.
Perkins was conducting it.
That night, through the transom of
my door, / heard an unusually pene-
trating voice instructing a class, but
the subject was not geology, The
stranger was giving points to his
agents on setting forth the merits of
certain soap. The principal point
was the purity of the ingredients. The
oil used was of such quality that in
the soap factory, at the lunch hour,
the operators left the butter provided
for them, preferring to dip their bread
in the sweet and delicious OIL This
was no reflection on the butter, which
was best creamery.
l was so interested in this stranger
that inquired of the clerk ''Who has
the room opposite miner
prof. Perkins and two of his staff"
Prof Perkins was professor of
savonology!

Russian Thistle pr Russian Tumble
Weed.

Russian InfStle Or huSSA0n IunDAe
Weed.
The Experiment Station of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, st. Anthony
Park, has just issued a bulletin on
the Russian thistle or Russian tumble
weed. AS this bulletin gives direc-
tons for handling this weed every
farmer should have it. and no school
director, teacher, nor road overscer
should neglect to at once send for one
of these bulletins, requesting that they
be supplied with out enclosing Il
mounted specimen of the plant. This
weed has already gotten started in
the Twin Cities and quite number
of other places along the railroads in
the state. 1t is important that none
of the plants growing this year be al
lowed to grow large enough to ripen,
as each one blowing about is liable to
infest considerable area of the sur
rounding land. "A stitch in time saves
nine" when dealing with this pest.
This bulletin was gotten up at the sug-
gestion of Gov. Nelson who has re-
quested the railroads to eradicate this
weed from their right of way, and the
bulletin will be sent to each section
foreman in the state that he may know
what the weed is. The author of the
bulletin recommends that laws be en-
acted to control this weed 1t is said
that where this weed has gotten
firm hold in Dakota that the farmers
often find that it costs as much to clear
the land of the thorny weed as it does
to plow and prepare the land for a
crop This is of course terrible tax
on the farmer and if it is introduced
into Minnesota and can be stopped or
even retarded it would be great bless
ing to the farmers. Certainly heroic
measures should be taken looking to
the prevention of all weeds going to
seed which would be large enough to
blow about before the wind and scat.

Everybody knows great deal about

where he was formerly employed about
six months ago on account of the hard
times. The Lease home. at 335 North
Wabash avenue, is large frame house
surrounded by cottonwood trees and
thanked with flowers and vegetable
beds. Mr.. Lease is described as IAN
old man with long, white mustache, a..
most as bald as an infant, and with
only a. thin fringe of white hair to pro-
tect the back of his neck. HE was
carelessly and shabbily dressed, and
there was weeks growth of beard on
his face" He was brought up on q
farm near Freeport, Ill, and left home
to become an apothecary, finally NOV
ing to Kansas. where he married Joan
Of Arc. He failed in business, and with
the failure ambition fed. He impress

the outcome of the recent activity of

The rebellion in the interior, which ut

COSTLY AMERICAN TEA.

Grown I'm Gadrens In south Carolina
"A State AGriculturist's Opin-
Ion.
Some specimens of American tie,
have been sent from Fayette, N. c.,
this season to northern markets, and,
according to the New York Evening
Post. the results of the sales seem to
Indicate that the culture of this crop
In parts of the South may yet lead to
large fortunes. 1t is not generally
known that attempts were made to es-
tablish tea gardens here before the
war, and that since the end of that
outbreak systematic efforts have been
made to revive the old gardens. Pro-
fesSor Massey, of the State Agricultur-
al College, has been instrumental in
trying to spread information among the
farmers concerning the culture OF tea,
and few have been induced to put
out gardens, The tea sent from the
old Smith farm this season brought
so cents pound, and some from South
Carolina brought as high as 81 a pound.
Last summer the cut at Summerville
amounted to a dozen or two pounds,
and this year several times that
amount has been sold.
DR.. Shepard says that the leaf grown
in the South is better for black than
for green tea and that the cost of
picking is about % cents a pound of
cured tea. On a large scale, and with
the best apparatus for gathering and
curing, the cost might be largely re-
duced. He feels confident, however,
that cheap-rate culture could never be
made profitable here ON account of the
lower wages that rule in Japan and
India and China, but the higher grade
teas can be grown with considerable
profit. DR. Shepard is increasing his
tea gardens every year, and when the
plants are old enough to yield good
crops he proposes to put in good ma
chinery and start into tea selling for
money. Professor Massey says that
the finest tea he ever tasted was grown
in the South. and he has no doubt but
it will be a future profitable crop in
the Carolinas. Mr.. Jackson, an expert
tea grower from Assam, who had
charge of the SNmmeryille plantation
under General LIE Due, says that with
negro labor he can raise tea more
cheaply than is done with coolie labor
in India because of it's greater RELIABLE
ity. In regard to the hardness of the
tea plant, all observers seem to agree
that north of thirty-five degrees it is
unwise to attempt to cultivate 1t.
Around Old Point Comfort, where some
plants have been growing more or less
feebly for years, the winters cut the
plants badly, and on the upper parts
of the Delaware Peninsula they were
entirely killed. But south of these
points, in the piney woods country ex-
tending from Raleigh to the gulf, tea
plants can be grown with great sue
cess, and the time may not be far dis
tant when American tea will compete
openly in the market with that shipped
from China, Japan and India

men during one of the college races.
The distance, a four-nlile course, or 81,
120 feet, was traversed in twenty-one
minutes, there being speed of about
1000 feet minute. The resistance of
the boat ut this speed was determined
by experiment to be seyenty-tive

the eight men, therefore, was $4,000
foot pounds, which is 02S horse power

which strong laborers are compelled
