The Farmer and His Dream.

- ef hfNt ohei hAio ~ (etfs
There once lived a farmer who
harvested nineteen hundred bush
els of wheat, which he sold at one
dollar a bushel, to nineteen hun
dred farmers, to each a bushel
for seed wheat. But very few of
them paid him cash for the wheat.
They each promised to pay it
soon. After a few months the
farmers bank account was about
depleted and he sought to replen-
ish the same by collecting for the
wheat which he had sold all over
the county. Had the farmers
paid him the time they secured
the wheat he would have been
easy until the next crop was rails
ed, but the farmer parted with
his grain and had instead only a
lot of small accounts, so scattered
that he could not get around and
collect fast enough to pay his ex-
penses.
He consequently posted up
public notice asking all who owed
him for wheat to pay quickly.
Very few responded. The most
of them said: "Mine is only a
small matter; and L will go and
pay one of these days, " forgetting
though that each account was
very small but when all we're put
together they meant large sum
to the farmer who had sold the
wheat. Things went on thus
with the farmer who got to feel
ing so badly that he fell out of
bed one night when all were put
asleep. The fall woke him from
his slumber, and going hastily to
his granary he found he had only
been dreaming and that the nine
teen hundred bushels of wheat
which he thought he had sold
were in safe keeping.
The next day he went to the
publisher of the county paper
which he took and said "Here,
sir, is the pay for your paper;and
when next years subscription is
due you may depend on me to pay
it promptly. Last night in my
dreams / stood in the position of
an editor, who had long been re-
minding those who owed him that
a little cash would help him out
of a tight place. | can now ap-
preciate what it is to have ones
money scattered all over the
country in small amounts" F."
Have you, who read this dream
story, paid the publisher what
you owe him? Are you one of
those who think, "my account is
only a small matter" and it does
not inconvenience the publisher
who must pay his employees ev-
cry week and keep his bills paid
up, else he would have to suspend
publication? Have you ever Won
dered what you would do in such
an emergency were you in the
publishers place? 1t is quite
probable there are more than one
newspaper in Fulton county
which has accounts scattered all
around. Would there not be
general rejoicing if more farmers
or business men would have
dreams like unto the farmer who
raised the wheat?

SENATOR HANNA A FAILURE IN GETTING
LEGISLATION, and HIS POWER WAVES

lev tariff bills from being enacted. OI-
ten Senator Quay, who not only mas IN
fuence on the Republican side, but
many friends on the Democratic Slde OF
the chamber, has passed measures Oh
great importance to Pennsylvania and
the country at large, and the compar-
ison made by legislative OnlOokerS, De
tween Quay and Hanna, is altogether
favorable to the shreWd ana IN
scrupulOus Pennsylvania.
When Arthur Pue German represent
ed MARYLAND in the senate he displayed
far better generalship as the leader OF
the Democratic forces than has Marcus
A Hanna the self-imposed leader on
the Republican side. Mr. German was
not only able to hold the Democrats IN
line for any legislation he favored, but
like Senator Quay was able, when ne
cessitv compelled, to draw votes from
the Republicans in order to carry out
his legislative schemes
Hanna's Influence Waning.
Even with the great influence alleged
to be welded by Senator AIdrich OF
Rhode Island, Senator Hanna has not
been able, though several weeks time
has been spent in the consideration of
the subsidy bill, to get even a vote upon
that measure. This failure upon the
part of the Ohio senator is lessening
his influence. In view of the fact that
Senator Hanna will hereafter not have
an opportunity to make presidents of
the United States, he viii probably not
be an important political factor or con-
tinue to hold his alleged leadership in
the senate after the close Of the sec
ond term of Major Mckinley as presi-
dent of the United States. There are
Ohio politicians in Washington who 60
so far as to say that it would be a
hard matter for Senator Hanna tC
bring about his reelection at the close
of his present term, if he decided tC
stand for the senatorship again. The
records of the senate, since Mr.. Hanna
became a member show many defeats
for him in the legislative arena, and il
he has scored any victories they have
at this time been forgotten

NEW PASTOR COMING .
Rev. Frank Barnett Accepts Call
from Baptist Church.

Rev. Frank Barnett Accepts Call
from Baptist Church.
J. J. Corum of the East Side Baptist
church received a letter yesterday
from Rev. Frank Barnett of Pontiac,
Mich, accepting the call rendered him
by the church here q few days ago
The letter said that he would be here
in time to preach his initial sermon the
second Sunday in March.
Mr. Barnett was connected with the
work in Utah for some time several
years ago and his knowledge Of the
situation and the success that has at
tended his work make mem bers of the
church here feel that his acceptance OF
their call means advancement in the
work here. Several years ago Mr.. Bar
nett was pastor OF the Baptist church
at Ogden, and for a time after that
was general missionary for Utah and
Wyoming. For the past five or SIX
years he has been pastor Of the church
at Pontiac, where he has built up G
strong and prosperous church, the
members of which are reluctant to lose
him.
The church here rendered Mr.. Bar
nett a call about three years ago. BAT
his people in Pontiac would not release
him from his position there.
The new minister viii likely be here
with his family in the early part of
next week.

Especial correspondence


washington, Feb. Ex-senator Hanna
of Ohio, despite his ability to make a
president and to secure a seat for him
self in the United States senate, has
proved a failure as a leader in the up
per branch of the national congress.
since coming to the senate, the Ohio
senator has suffered several defeats in
attempting to enact legislation which
he favored. His most notable defeat
lies in the fact that during the first and
second session OF the Fitty-siXth con-
gress he has failed to get through the
senate his pet measure, the so-called
national shipping subsidy bill. At the
first session OF this congress he made
an energetic attempt to get the sub
sidy bill passed before the opposition
proved too determined, and the result
was a fiaScC.
At this session about to close, Mr.
Hanna, though backed by the strong
influence of the present Republican eX-
ecutive, has made a more dismal fail
ure as the leader of the subsidy bill
forces than during the session last WIN
ter. The Ohio senator has fOamed and
frOthed. has attempted to broWbeat ms
Republican colleagues, and mas PLEADED
frequently to have his Democratic OPP
ponents withdraw their opposition to
the bill. At this writing there seems
no chance whatever for Senator Hanna
to pass his pet measure.
Others Far Stronger Than Hanna.
Public men have compared notes re
garding the influences welded by Sen
ator Hanna and by other distinguished
senator's, both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, who have attempted Cand many
have succeeded to get through legisla-
ton Of far more Importance than the
subsidy bill. Senator Quay of Penn
sylvania is considered a much more
/ successful maneuVerer in this respect
