So that they may abide with me for ever.

Good in all religions,
Good in all men,
Good in all living things.
The only sin to me is selfishness;
The only happiness the good we do,
o, let us drop these empty sounds and
forms.
The letter that divides in warning sects;
And let us fill our hearts with love to
men.
o, build a church as wide as human
needs;
Undue It with the spirit, not the husk;
And henceforth leave the race unfet-
tered, free,
To follow out its impulses divine.
For God is in us and will lead us on,

Three DAVIS, Hereford Sale.

The writer takes pleasure In calling
the attention of all beef cattle breeders,
especially those interested in registered
HerefOrds, to the three days sale an
nounced elsewhere in this issue. One
hundred and fifty head, so each from
the herds Of Sotham, Nave and Horna-
day, consisting of bulls, cows and heif-
ers, ought to attract the attention of all
progressive Whiteface breeders through
out our entire country. After a day
spent at each of the three several farms
in looking over the cattle that have been
selected from an aggregation of over 500
head and catalogued, the writer takes 1t
upon himself to state that in his judg-
ment no better lot, either individually
or in breeding has been offered at Kan
sas City in recent years.
The sOtham Offering.
Of the three herds sending representa-
tives to this sale, Mr. SOtham's is the
Oldest, dating back to 1889. No herd in
this country since the early eighties has
achieved more victories in the cOmpeti-
tive annual beef cattle exhibits than has
the Weavergrace herd. This also includes
long list OF prizes won at Omaha last
year, where the largest, strongest, and
doubtless best Hereford exhibit ever
marshalled in the history of the breed
met and competed for honors. The read
er may, If he consults a copy Of Mr..
Sotham's sale catalogue, obtain better
idea Of the 1000 premiums won by the
Weavergrace herd, especially those of
recent years. Among those that will go
into the sale is the first prize 3-year-old
bull at Omaha, Sir BredwelI $685.. Such
is the type, character and promise Of Sir
Bredwell and his get that seeing them
is sure to stimulate the ambition Of all
Hereford breeders in endeavoring to
have better ones in their herds. When
asked by the writer why so many extra
good ones were going to the sale Mr..
Sotham replied: I'VE have the sires and
dams all here in the herd and can now

WHEAT--Fear Of damage to the fall
crop from the cold wave, which extend
ed all over the winter wheat belt to-day,
started wheat strong. May opened NO
Nc higher at 77h0Bc, but met such
heavy selling that the price clipped off
to 77c. Liverpool and continental mar
kets were weak and lower and New York
wired that foreigners were selling freely
there. This had tendency to discourage
the bulls, but on the other hand bears
were held in check owing to the eXpecta-
ton of bullish government crop report
this afternoon. few buying orders
from New York sent May up to 7715c, but
as soon as the price got anywhere above
77c local traders and st. Louis commits
sion houses would flood the pit with SELL
ing orders Under this selling pressure
the market became heavy, with May
hanging around 76%0Bc. Receipts were

"The six prohibitionists could vote
directly for prohibition and thus enact
a prohibition law.
"In thus voting, directly, some would
vote for all three measures some for two
and some for only one, but each would
be able to vote for what he wanted, for
only what he wanted, and against what
he did not want.
And the legislation enacted would ex-
actly represent the will Of the majority OF
the people.
"Of course in this movement those
who were opposed to any of the meas
ures would, by working for direct legis-
lation, be helping to secure system
under which the measure to which he
was opposed could be brought before the
people and receive the votes of all who
favored it.
But honest opposition to measure
does not make it necessary for man to
try and prevent other citizens from eXer-
cizing their right to vote on it. That
would be dishonest opposition. It would
be trying to defeat the measure, not by
convincing the people that it was wrong,
but by defrauding the people of their
rights.
Therefore all can unite in a move
ment like this who are willing to grant
to others the same rights they wish for
themselves, can honestly join in move
ment to secure direct legislation, even
though by so doing they may make it
possible for some measures to be adopted
which they would rather not have
adopted.
"This is the practical, business-like
way of securing reform:
First, Get together, regardless of diff
ferences Of opinion regarding the re-
forms which ought to be adopted, and
secure for the people the power to vote
on each measure separately
Second, Then let all the advocates of
each particular reform, regardless of
their differences in regard to other re-
forms, get together and work together
and vote together to secure that particu-
lar reform. They can do this on that
reform even if they have to oppose each
other in regard to some other reform
Jones can work and vote with Smith
on free silver
He can work and vote with Brown
and against Smith on free trade.
"And so on through the list.
Let us get the initiative and refer
endum, not as substitute for reform
legislation, but as the means, and the
only means. of getting it,"
The new party will be unqualifiedly
ON record as against the half-union
known as fusion.

Capt. Fred G. Littlehales of the Brit
ish steamer Kurdistan, in port with
cargo of nitrate from the west coast of
South America. gave an interesting ac-
count of his long voyage. just completed,
to reporter of the Philadelphia Times
+ recently. The Kurdistan is now in
Cramps dry dock, foot of Palmer street.
On her run from Caronel she came in
contact with submerged wreck, and IL
was thought advisable to have an ex-
animation. The hull, however. was found
intact.
The Kurdistan sailed In the spring Of
1899 for Montevideo and thence in ballast
proceeded through the Strait of Magel-
Ian to the west coast. On July 26 the
Kurdistan, after discharging at Monte
video. weighed anchor for Caronel. Capt.
Littlehales had determined to go through
the Strait of Magellan, both for the
reason that he might shorten his voyage
and avoid the stormy Cape Horn. To do
SO 1t was necessary to take on pilot,
and this devolved upon an American
named Gaskiel. who was found out Of
work in Montevideo and who was we'll
acquainted with the southern extremity
of South America.
The Kurdistan's run was n slow one.
Capt. Iittlehales had little cause to hur-
ry and he awaited himself OF the excellent
opportunity afforded to study those COM
paratively unknown regions.
BY far the most interesting experiences
occurred after passing through the
Strait of Magellan and heading up the
west coast. Near the southern extremity
OF Patagonia, on the Pacific side, are

several hundred miles to the north and
are separated from the mainland by

1t was in latitude 81 south that the ma
tives first came under the observation of
Capt. Littlehales. He told a reporter Of
the Times yesterday afternoon that at
that time 1t was so cold that the spray
was frozen on the rigging. Nevertheless,
despite this zero weather, the native men
were naked except for a loln cloth of fur.
and all that the women wore was a long

Keen Rats From Carrying Plague.

Russian authorities. alive to the neces-
sity of keeping out the plague, have re-
sorted to this way of preventing rats
from boarding ships, which is described
by Consul Heenan of Odessa:
II saw the other day curious device
attached to the mooring rope or cable OF
a steamer which was loading at this
port The cable was run through a piece
of iron pipe about foot long, and weld
ed on the end of the pipe was fange or
funnel which looked like the end of a
trumpet, with the wide end facing the
ship. The iron pipe was stuffed with
oakum, to prevent 1t from slipping, and
also to prevent rats from passing through
it, This novel construction was close to
the ship.
ION inquiring what purpose this device
served, I was informed that the Russian
authorities furnished these appliances,
and obliged all ships to use them when
ever they came from a port infected with
the plague. to prevent the rats on the
ship from coming on shore. 1t is conced-
ed generally that the plague has been
carried and spread by rats which have
left ships coming from infected ports. 1t
is known that rats make use OF the cable
to come on shore, and this iron pipe with
its funnel-shaped arrangement was en-
ployed to prevent such visits, If possible.
These devices are attached to each cable
by which the ship is moored In add
ton to this precaution the master of the
shin Is obliged to take down his loading
stages every night and erect them again

rats from coming on shore ~ the night
