He was a Mason.

A well-known Chicago publisher.
speaking of scenes and incidents in
that city in the trying days after the
big FIRE, said: sThe great fire was a
thing of the recent past and the down
town portion Of the city scene of the
greatest confusion. About 9 O'Clock
in the evening, while on my way to
my home in the west division, [ was
accosted by man Of respectable ap-
pcarance, who asked me to give him
the price Of a lodging.
:"'I'm no. a beggar, said ne, 'but
IN in hard luck. A man told me
that some Masons were in session over
this way. If I could find them, Id
be ali right.
"'I happen to know lodgeroom on
Canal street, where there is meeting
to-nigh.,' said I. Come along, I'll
take you there.
"The place reached, I conducted
him up a long flight vi stairs and
knocked at door.
"'I'm not Mason, said to man
who seemed to be acting in the ca
pacity Of a guard: but I've run across
one Of your FRI ternity who seems to be
in hard luck. I take it you'll be glad
to do something for him.
"Congratulating myself on having
done good act, I pushed my chance
acquaintance forward and retreated
toward the stairway. A whispered
conversation ensued, when the guard
exclaimed:
"'You re not Freemason!'
no., replied my late charge, but
l. m stonemason out of job.
fThe roar of laughter that issued
from the half open door made me wish
myself Mason. As itwas, / hurried

Temperance societies would do we'll
to get copy of Mr.. John Morley $
late speech before the British Parlia-
ment. In attacking the conservative
policy he deals with the drink prob
lem, ungloved. He declares that to
the philanthropist it is known as a
deep root of private misery; the mag
istrate finds in it source Of social
disorder, and no statesman need to
look more than an inch below the sur
face without finding it much more. .
He especially arraigns it as disturber
Of honest politics. No condition Of
the day so seriously threatens every
party and every. policy as this traffic,
which, as he says, throws it's weight
of millions upon millions to this or
that side solely with reference to Its
own perpetuity and profit. He says
Of the English brewer, as we have long
said Of the American saloon-keeper,
in war or peace he knows but one
party, and that is the one which will
favor the saloon; he knows but one
platform and that is immunity to
trade. He is either expansionist or
contractionist as are the legislative
friends of the saloon. He will vote
for the flag or its rival as the interest
of his rum barrel may dictate. He
has but one country, it is his saloon;
but one standard, it is his license to
sell. He knows but one policy, and
that is to sell more liquor. He boasts
that for every IS raised to maintain
law and preserve order he will put
down $500 to protect the undisturbed
immunity of the bar. The liquor
traffic, says Mr.. Morley, has no inter-
est in any question affecting the vel
fare of the State; but no detail OF leg
islation is insignificant to him if it
affect his barrel or his jug.-7Hc IN

Temperance advocates certainly can
score pointin the terrible example
furnished by the death Of a Buffalo
infant Of fifteen months from acute
alcoholism. The parents Of the child
had ignorantly given it quantity of
Glove wine, and the dose proved fatal.
The imbibing of alcohol in later life
without perccptible evil results seems
to be largely a matter of getting the
system used to poison.

storms Of life grow fierce and more

that He is with US, and therefore we
cannot suffer shipwreck; for know this
we'll: He is always master of the stu

And mark me well: not until We take
Him in, and also give him the helm,
shall we exper ence the calm and rest

much of peace in life because We will
not trust the helm into Jesus hand?
There is much half -heartedness in the

despite threatening elements, to sing,

SOIL MOST FRUITFUL,
Ready for the Tiller and His
Friends for Generations
RICHNESS OF AGES LAID AWAY.
Its Own for Certain Lines of
Agricultural Productions.

Aside from the physical and chemi.
cal character of the soil, the vegetable
productions depend upon moisture,
heat and light. BY virtue Of the law
of compensation, Il partial deficiency
in any of these is overcome by a re-
action Of the plants themselves to-
ward a habit of growth that still in
sures their success. And, moreover,
the regions Of high latitude, though
lacking in the yearly aggregate
amount Of heat, allow Il larger per-
ccntage Of light during the growing
season.
The land Of short seasons is also
that of long summer days, which, for
agricultural purposes, may outvalue
the former.
Abundant light makes plants dwarf
and stocky. Dwarting produces fruit
fulness. The conclusion is easily drawn
hand, while abundant light makes
plants dwarf and fruitful, it also
us a rapid growth. Plants grown
rapidly are tender n have delicate
tlavors. Carrots, turnips, parsnips,
radishes or celery, grown slow, are
stringy in texture and rank in flavor.
Il high temperature also favors q rap
id growth. Like other regions in the
interior Of continents, North Dakota
has Il high summer temperature. This,
with the long hours Of sunlight, rem
ders plants very active, and the result
Of the activity is seen in the unusually
large percentage Of starch, gluten,
protein and other nutritive elements
found in the plants Of this region. a
greater rainfall in the western part Of
the state would give a heavier yield
Of grass, but at the expense, no doubt,
of the present high nutritive value,
which is almost exactly so per cent
more than of similar species grown in
the Middle states.*
The rainfall of that part Of the state
east Of the Tooth parallel is more than
twenty inches, ranging to twenty
three inches in the Red River valley.
AS this falls upon land that is nearly
Or perfectly level. and possessing a soil
very retentive of moisture, and fur
ther, as the greater amount comes
through the growing season, particu-
larry in the spring, the quantity in gen.
eral is quite sufficient.
From the conditions enumerated,
then, it will be seen that this region
has advantages all its own for certain
lines Of agricultural productions. The
grass family is decidedly at home
here. For thousands of years the wide
eXpanse Of plain and majestic sweep
Of hill and valley, have yielded their
successive generations Of the four
score or more native grasses, and the
soil thus enriched is eminently fitted
to yield a%bundantly Of the grasses that
man, in the past, has especially select
ed for his needs, the barley, oat and
wheat.

dent Worst spoke on invitation OF FRO!
Hays OF Minnesota. and welcomed the
convention &c the city and to the agrl-
cultural college and state. MI. Worst
said that he agreed with the PROPOSE
ton that it was impossible to get rich
in Il year or two. The greatest thing
to he done was to improve existing Op-
portuIiticS. This WAS Il problem III
the people OF the state. The :gricult-

eliminating smut. weeds and other i'm
puritics, much good would be accom-
plishcd. If the yield could be increased
one peck per acre. and the grade so
that the price would be 1 cent better
per bushel, it would mean a million of
dollars to the people of the state.
BY neglecting to secure pure seed

doing more to reduce the grade of

On the other hand, there are regions
In China and Egypt that have main
tanned their fertility through thou

populations. Such regions are invari.
ably those in which the geological pro.

address was a rich one, and thorough.

es q very nimble wit, and kept the au-
dience in roars Of laughter. His re-
marks were along the same lines as
those Of Prof .Waldron and he urged
the farmers present not to disregard
the facts brought out by the college
professors, but to take home their sug.
gestions and experiment and profit
thereby. The agriculturist, he claimed,

W~ednesday's Session.
Supt. Gregg, vice president, presided
during the morning session. The en-.
thusiasm Of the farmers in attendance
wholly crowded out the latter part Of
the programme arranged by the com-
mittee. The most practical feature Of
the session, looking to permanent re.
suits, was q resolution offered by N.
P. Rasmussen, ex-railroad commission
er, for the appointment Of a committee
Of nine members to report a permanent
organization Of the grain growers of
the Northwest.
Thomas Harrison spoke on barley
hay as feed for work horses. Papers
for a $25 prize on "How to Make the
Farm Pay" were read by G. A. Fuller
Of Warren, Mimi, and w. F House OF

Prof. Bolley, of the North Dakota
experiment station, discussed "Potato
Scab." Prof. Bolley's investigations
in this line for Graduating scab are
said, by Supt. Wegg, to be worth all
the experimental stations in the United
States have cost.

tee of nine to arrange for a permanent
organization. Three members Of thu
committee are from Minnesota, Nortf
Dakota and South Dakota, and
