ACCUMULATION.

ACCUMULATION. spirit is illustrated
as vividly by the
farmers of the corn belt of the United
States as by any other class of acquisi-
tive Americans. The desire to get more
land is dominant in the owner Of nearly
every farm in Nebraska. To this end
self-denial and money saving are prac-
ticed by him, and forced upon wife
and children.
Lorenzo Dow said: ''The average
western farmer tolls hard, early and
late, often depriving himself of needed
rest-for what? To feed hogs-for
what? To get money with which to buy
more land. For what? To raise more
corn. For what? To feed more hogs.
For what? To buy more land.
And why does he want more
land? Why, he wishes to raise
more corn, to feed more hogs, to buy
more land, to raise more corn, to feed
more hogs. And in this circle he moves

And is not this the same gainful am
bition which prompts the speculator in
railroad stocks and other corporate Sc
curities? Is not the general welfare
best promoted by small farms, well
titled? Is not the return to the indi-
vidual owner of a small farm better
per cent. generally than that paid by
the large farm? Is it not more difficult
and hazardous to try to operate thou
sand acres at profit than hundred
acres? Do not truck farms of ten acres
often pay bigger incomes than whole
quarter sections?
What is best for all is certainly best
for each. Which will best conduce to
the prosperity and happiness of the ma

is the one spot on earth that leads the

changeless constancy. The paths that
reach up to it's thresholds are rough and
repellent, or smooth and inviting by
reason of the character and aims of
those who make them. It is delightful
to go homeward in the shelter and shade
Of great trees of ones own planting.
Their benignant arms stretch out above
us, their foliage shields from summer

murmur benedictions. With paths
thus embowered and flowers blooming

whisper greetings and with the fragrance
of blossoms are as human welcome to the
weary who walk in such pleasant places.

the peony, the rose and the yucca, each

gorgeous colors and luxuriant growths

cred about the grand
colonnade that guards the approach to
the Basilica, vast crowd of human
beings to see the elevation and placing
of the great Obelisk which Sesostris had
wrought out for a monument at ancient
Heliopolis, but which imperial greed
and power had brought as trophy to the
banks of the Tiber.
The pulsations of the thousands of
hearts in that eager throng, were strong
and solicitous. Pope Sixtus, Pontiff at
that time, had decreed absolute silence
for each spectator. A violation of the
decree was to be punished by death. To
make the truth plain that the penalty
would be inflicted, gallows was
erected in sight of all the people pres
ent. At the word of command the mag
nificent monolith began to rise upward,
slowly towards the perpendicular, which
would set it firmly on it's base. But at
the last moment, at the very second
would have stood it firmly in position
the taut ropes were found to be wound
to their utmost tension, and the ma
chinery devised for the occasion-incap-
able of further effort. Breathless silence
prevailed. The ropes were almost ready
to part asunder, when sharp, ear-pierc-
ing voice rang out, clear and strong,
"Bagnate le Corde," "Wet the rope!"
Water was dashed upon the cords,
they contracted and the massive obelisk
rose in stately grandeur to it's upright
poise, where it still stands.
The rugged son Of the sea who had
broken silence and cried out the method
for success stepped forward into the
open space to receive punishment. But
in it's stead he met pardon, commenda-
ton, honors and renown. His educa-
tion, his learning from the wet
experiences of the surging sea, he
applied practically to a great end and
with infinite success.
Modern education fails often because
it's possessor has no quick sense as to
when, where and how it may be applied
to the every day affairs of life. That
education is best which will enable one
to live most completely and satisfactorily
in this humdrum world and to begin to
thus live at the dawn of womanhood
and manhood.
