A Success That Counts.

ed woman who enjoys poor health.

you think? The other is anything
but robust, constitutlonally but she is
seldom i'll, because she takes good care
OF her he,lth, instead of talking abort
1t. I don't think I have been an un-
sympathetic mother, and I fear Pm
not made OF Spartan material; but
when my girls got old enough to talk
about headaches and toothaches and
ailtnents-real, exaggerated, Or itnagl-
nary-I made up my mind to discour-
age it at once. I refused to listen to
accounts OF mysterious aches and sensa
tons, when / had reason to believe
they were the outcome of too much in
trospectlon and too little exercise
Fresh air and occupation were the
prescription for headaches and bad
temper, and 4 bread and milk supper
and early to bed was the treatment FOR
other ailments. Real illness seld ON
comes unheralded, and whf eyes keep
bright, pulses regular, and appetites
good, there Is scarcely anything that
cannot be cured by witch-llazel or a
good sleep. We are busy family, and
there was seldom an hour OF dreaming
for the girls. They had plenty OF
pleasure, but it was active and jolly,
rather chan leisnrely. They never got
into the summer-piazza complaining
habit, because they were always play
Ing tennis, or sailing boats, or reading
books. suppose their education has
been sadly neglected as far as fancy
work is concerned, but the hours that
most women spend over fancy work
are, in my idea. like those hours after
dinner which Thackeray says women
always spend in discussing their dis
cases."

Forty Square Miles Of Wheat.
N. Y. Dispatch.

N. Y. Dispatch
What is said to be the largest wheat
field In California, is now being
planted in the grain that makes the
staff of life. 1t covers over 25,CoO
acres, or forty square miles. This en-
ormous field of grain is located on the
banks Of the San Joaquin river. in Ma
dera county. The field is part in Fres-
no county and part in MADEIRA county.
Clovis Cole is the man who Is put
ting In this vast acreage, and he has
undertaken one of the largest jobs
that any man has yet done in Cali
fornia.
While it is true that larger acreases
OF wheat have boen planted by certain
ranchers in this state, there seems to
be no record of an exact parallel to
the present case. On the Miller d
Lux ranch In Kern county, $4,000
acres were planted one year, hat the
fields were scattered about in different
places. There was really series OF
fields, located wherever there was
fertile spot. Few OF the fields were
1000 acres, ard IN many instances there
would be half mile OF bare land be-
twes-l theM. Iue acreage planted
could not be called wheat field of
10000 acres, any more than all the
wheat fields in the state could be class.
ed under one head.
The Clovis field, however, is an ideal
wheat field. 1t is almost as fiat as II
floor, with a gentle slope toward the
river The outer lines OF the field
make it almost perfect square. Each
side is little over six miles, and if
the day is clear every part Of the field
can be seen from any other part. 1t will
be beautiful sight worth seeing when
all the grain is up and waves gently in
the breezes of springtlme. There are
no roads through the clovis wheat
field. It is to be one solid stretch Of
grain, and every square loot of land is
to be utilized.
The grain will all mature at about
the same time. Then will come the
Hercn!ean task of havestlng.

A gentleman OF BERTHE related case
something like the following which
we clip from the Windsor Ledger:
II married widow who had 9
daughter. My father visited our house
frequently, iel in love and married
my step-daughter. Thus my father
became my son-in-law, and my step
daughter my mother, because she was
my fathers wife. Ny step-daughter
had also a son he was OF course my
brother AMI at the same time my grand
child, for he was the son OF my daugh
ter. My wife was my grandmother
because she was my mothers mother
I was my wiie's husband and grand
child ct The same time and rs the hrs

d. it, instead of shrinking back for fear
of imperfection.

Better failure than no attempt at
all; better any form of belief than no
belief at all; better humiliation and
confusion of face at an intellectual
tumble than no first step better weak
ness that does its best than strength
that selishly shuts itself away fer
more convenient season. There must
rise to the oren ear OF all Of us at times
the moan, the groan, the shrek of the
world as it demands from everyone ac-
cording to his ability. That voice
must be needed and our little best done,
or we prove recreant to the responsible
ity of Lying. If we are to be surround.
ed with comforts, and protected by
order and peace and justice if we are
to be carefully shielded from things
that are unpleasant and terrible !; let us
appreciate that these things all exist
because Others Just as imperfect in their
work as we may be have done their
best, made their contribution and
p ,ssed on. The thought of this little
message, th erefore, condenses itself
down to this that those who can co
and do not are selfish, that those who
want to do and therefore can do yet DO
not are blameworthy that those who
take the blessings OF life aud make no
return to the world that now Is for the
generous throwing in of effort bv those
who have gone before are VAMPIRES.
They draw strength from those who
rest from their labors, and the world
sees no result OF that strength.
