The intellectual apprehension of truths
is comparatively easy and comparative
ly profitless. Satan doubtless knows
more of them than any of us. The spir-
itual apprehension of them is hard
thing. That cannot be taught by man.
1t belongs to the inner individuality
and to the grace of God. 1t is intel
lectual still. but 1t is intellect interpen-
etrated with spirit. and unless it is in
terpenetrated with spirit it is but a
dead thing -Churchman

All are architects of Fate, v
Working In these walls of time:
Some with massive deeds and great.
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled:
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build
In the elder days of Art
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the Gods see everywhere.
Let us do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen:
Make the house where God may dwell.
Beautiful, entire aad clean.
Else our lives are incomplete.
Standing in these walls of Time.
Broken stairways where the feet
Stumble as they seek to climb.
Build to-day, then, strong and sure,
With firm and ample base!
And ascending and secure
Shall tomorrow find its place

The plan briefly suggested here is a
practical one. Thousands of comrades will
patronize each other if they are shown
the way. The only way is to advertise.
This is good time for developing the
plan, because a comrade may have ad-
vertising without cost if he will get up
club. For every dollar sent to the paper
as a clnb-raiser he may have 81 worth of
advertising.
The price of this advertising has been
fixed at 3 cents a word, which is a very
low rate. You reach n quartcr-milion
readers and will often get hundreds of re-
plies from a single ad.
All the world deals now through the
mails or by express or freight. Try it
yourself.
Write us the substance of what you
want to say, and we will arrange it in the
fewest possible words.
A few examples are given in the follow
ing columns to illustrate the idea; but
there are, perhaps, hundred other classi-
fcations that will develop, such as stock,
schools and colleges, claims, etc.
Regimental historians and Secretaries
of Survivors Associations will find these
columns very useful.
An enterprising comrade who sees bust
ness in this should send So at once for sub
scription coupons. This will get him
gueSses in the next contest, enable him to
get So back from subscribers, and, under
present terms, give him So worth of ad-
vertising. Direct letter to Adv. Dept,

attempt to cross, but the I'd Ky. Cav. en-
trapped the pickets appointed to give the
alarm.
When our Pioneers reached the river
with their boats-60 in number-they saw
the rebel pickets on the other side. One
of our batteries was stationed to COM
mand the crossing. The boats were hauled
into line with an allotted number of men
to each, and at a given signal were slid
from the wagons, carried to the water and
launched. Then, while some pushed with
long poles, others stood in the boats with
muskets pointing toward the opposite

Wide Orchard Rows.

There has recently been considerable
agitation over the question of whether
fruit trees, mainly apples, Should be
planted in wide or narrow rows. There
are many growers who have worked on
the wide row plan, that is, the wide
row running east and west of the or
chard, and found it most desirable.
There are several reasons why this
method of planting is desirable, but the
main one Is that planted in this way
the trees have more sunlight when they
reach large size, and sunlight means an
increased crop and better one. As a
rule apple trees are set much farther
apart than other fruit trees because of
their large size at maturity, YET there is
no doubt that the wide-row plan is as
desirable with apple as with other
trees. On the wide-row plan pear trees,
for example, are set sixteen by twenty
eight feet, the wide rows running east
and west.
