Oar plan is this, t. erect an elevator
of say i50, eco bushel capacity, and to b.

1000 to 1900 bushels. No wheat is 70

the bins will be for rent to anybody

mer, or track buyer or commission
man; but no grains will be put in until
1t is weighed, and'a sample Of each load
retained BY the elevator superintendent,
who wsulds be required to give q good
bpnd. The idea is, to have the grain
weighed and sampled by q perfectly
disinterested party, and any track
buyer putting grain in will be governed
BY the weight of the chief weigher. A
farmer putting in a car Of whent for
shipment will get his scale weights, and
the superintendent will take sample
from each load brought in, by the reg
ular grain sampler used by the State
Board Of Inspection; all these samples
will be put in q receptacle for that Iur-
pose, and when the bin is full, this re-
ceptable will show an average of the
entire lot.

sent to Minneapolis, and sold to arrive
ut any time. 1t will not be necessary
to sell OIL weak market, as is required
if your grain is on the track, but the
samples can be carried along from day
to day, and when a favorable market is
reached, it can be sold and the shipment
be made. This in many cases will save
the shipper much money, as it is often
the case that grain of the same quality
will sell for two or three cents more one
day than it does the next, even when
the list is the same, but the graia is on
the track and must be sold, or eaten up
by demurrage. Oats. barley. hax, rye
and wheat will be handle.. in the same
way. Three or four private buyers can
do business through this elevator, or
any commission man, or private indi.
vidual can inspect the samples, and
make offers for the grain in bin. This
would practically make us sample

THE MEANING OF LIFE.

cloth; price 81 90.
Simplicity of language and distinctness of
thought are characteristics of Mr.. Dresser,s
writings, and this essay on the conduct and
meaning OF life will enhance his reputation as
a thinker and as sincere friend of humanity.
With becoming modesty the author claims no
originality for his essay, but in his thoughtfr,,
appreciation of the wisdom of the ages he has
taken advantage of "the best that has beer
thought and said' in the past He has lent
the fresh value OF personal experience to en-
phaSlze the problem of problems and has
given full and frank expression of individual
conviction. The purpose of the book at hand
is psychological, meta physical and
practical. As a psychological ANALYSIS it is es-
pectally concerned with the higher or spiritual
nature of man. AS philosophical dis
cussion, it aims TO develop a generally sound
view of reality by consideration of material
ism, agnos tlcism and mysticism ain the light
OF their shortcomings when compared with the
demands both OF reason and the spiritual
sense" 1t points out many important cistinc-
tions essential to just view of life and indi-

servient to the one central idea for which It
stands-the unity of all that exists in an ulti
mate spiritual reality. The author declares
that, with true spiritual insight "the whole
wide universe OF beings and things is seen to

infinite beauty, love and goodness receive
their full manifestation in that unsearchable
whole whose name is eternitvu

Gertrude Atherton in the London Daily News

Gertrude Atherton in the London Daily News
The fascination of Englishmen for
American women has been much discussed
of late. but the time is approaching when
the possession of England by American
women will prove subject of far more
vital controversy. In fact, it threatens to
become one of the great international
questions, for it means the reconstruction
of two races. 1 understand that an effort
is being made by the United States Gov
eminent to prevent its voting citizens
remaining abroad more than two years at
time, that it is seriously alarmed at the
increasing thousands of Americans who
are settling in Europe. The United States
press has also half awakened to the fact
that the detection of its women means a
loss of something more than millions, al
though as yet its only suggestions in re
self-protection have been to impose a tax
on the dots of American heiresses marry
ing foreigners, and to create domestic
peerage.
Meanwhile, what is the reason that at
the present moment American women
practically own London-that they set the
fashions-have, not to exaggerate, five ad-
mirers to every English woman's one, and
the pick of the best menf A great many
obvious reasons have been advanced.
They are prettier, cleverer, more vivacious,
more natural, dress better-which is to
the eye what music is to the soul-have a
born and acute understanding of men, less
religion, above all more money.
These reasons are all good, but little
analysis will show that they do not hold
water. Spanish and Austrian women are
more beautiful than Americans. The
French woman is equally clever and viva
cious, dresses as well, and what she does
not know about men is not worth record
ing. With the Catholic races, at least, re-
ligion is an airy convention, not calculated
to make man wish that all women were
pagans, and there are heiresses all over
the world.
The one N anifest point, therefore, upon
which the American woman is sui generis
is her naturalness, her habit of thinking
out loud, her lack of self-consciousness
of mannerism. All English women talk
as if they had studied elocution. An
American voice, even when trainante. has
the effect of spontaneity. And SO with
the manner, the habit of thought, the
quick, fresh way of looking at life.
But this quality, delightful as it is, is
hardly strong enough to constitute more
than passing charm, and the American
woman's foothold in England is growing
firm as the years go by. She has come to
stay, and what is more no Englishman
seems to be terrified by his brother
choice.
Under the obvious reason, or rather set
OF reasons, there must then be funda-
mental and psychological reason. English
men rarely marry European women, with
all their manifold charms. They make
love in Paris, Vienna, Seville, Venice and
Yokohama, but the foreigner they marry
is the American. 1t must be, therefore,

that they recognize in American women
something that they most want-some.
thing that the women of their own coun-
try cannot give them.
Can it be that while Englishmen have
gone forward, have become more alive
every year, have kept pace with their CEN
tury-it may almost be said that they
have set the pace-the English woman has
stood still? In many instances has she
not degenerated? Take her literature.
With some very few exceptions, no Eng
lish woman to-day is writing either INTEL
lectual or wholesome fiction. Leaving the
silly novelists out of the question, what does
the enormous success of the neurotic, NOR
bid and decadent illusions denote? One
need hardly think twice to answer that it
means general degeneracy among Eng
lish women. l hear several thousand
people remarking, "These same books
have had great sales IN America" So they
have, but because the United States is in
tellectually under the yoke of England,
and is as yet too heterogeneous to have
mind of its own on the subject of liter
allure. None of these books would have
achieved success if written in America
in fact, they could not have been written
in America. As it is, they are read out of
curiosity, tossed aside and forgotten.
To return: 1t is inconceivable that the
women who read and exist in these novels
as the expression of their inner selves do
not bore and disgust men. Englishmen,
taking them generally, are the most
wholesome, healthy-minded men in the
world. They live clean, outdoor life,
love sport better than women and make
history along the natural lines of evolu-
ton. In them is no faint of morbidity,
and it is easy to imagine how little attrac-
ton the quality has for them in woman-
kind.
Do the advanced women" and their
following actually believe that they can
reconstruct these men-the most domi-
nant, perfectly balanced, rapidly develop
ing and highly developed race of men the
world has ever known-along lines laid
down by themselves2 AS well try to
harness the sun. The end will be that
their men will let them severely alone and
marry American women. In the feminine
literature of to-day and in its success is
the note. of decay; one can smell the
mold.
1t seems to me that this Is the secret of
the. affinity between American women and
English men. The vast ma jority of Amer
! lean men are composed of two elements
only-money greed and sensuality. They
are at the very beginnings of their own
development the most elemental race
of men in all civilization to-day. Ameri-
can women have so far flashed past them
that they stand on the plane which Eng
! lish women would occupy if they had
| kept pace with their men. They are alive
to their finger tips; they have cast off the
yoke OF conventionality, cut and-dried re-
| ligion, and all the old forms and tradi-
tions which should be and must become
obsolete as the higher civilization.

rich Americans, by building great houses for
a display OF their wealth, excite envy, hatred
and malice, and he advises them to avoid
this by expanding it in erecting great public
monuments, such as picture-galleries, mu-
seums. arches, statuary, etc, which will per-
petuate their names and rid them completely
of the imputation of selfshness.
