A Minnesota man claims that'by the
careful breeding Of wheat be is going
to be able to supply a variety Of
wheat which win produce fourfold
more than any we now have. We do
not believe that this can be done, and
If it could be it is doubtful if such
discovery would be Of any real benefit.
Wheat pulls the life out Of the best
of soils fast enough as it is and, one
year with another, is one Of the least
profitable crops which can be raised.

Of clover seed-for instance, on a field
of rye in middle September. We have
never known a fall sowing of clover
north of latitude ~ to lie a success.
The plant is too tender tD endure the
extreme cold Of the winter We have
known clover to be sown among corn
at the time of the last blowing in July
and come through all right, but in that
case the plant had time TO get better
rooted and stronger. The best time to
sow the clover seed is in the spring as
early as possible.

Col. Kosterlistski, commanding the
International Bounardy Riders of So

Mayor OF Rio Yaqui letter giving an
account of the tragic death of Cali

Rome to Ireland and England--from
England to the continent, from Ger
many to America-this was the path
pointed out to the Benedictines. and
they joyously followed the heavenly
call. To-day their work for religion is
faithfully done from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, from the Dakotas to the
Isle of Pines.
THE city of Savannah forms a link
in this golden chain, writing the past
to the present, encircling almost every
state in the Union. Though here, as
elsewhere, the beginnings are humble,
yet the true spirit is not wanting, and
with your generous aid our brightest
hopes will be fully realized. If. then.
this glad ceremony which marks
giant step forward in the beneficent
work in hand is a day of joy to you
all, IL is more so to the Right Rever-
end Bishop of Savannah, in whose do
cese the work is done.
ut is a vision of gladness to the
jealous, able young priests to whose
immediate care have intrusted the
great task of laying deep and solidly
the foundation for all that is to come.
Need l add that the whole order--es-
pecially the fathers of the abbey in
North Carolina-participate in your
joy and pray Gods choicest blessing
on their work and yours ~
In conclusion Bishop Had appealed
most earnestly to all to give their gem
erous aid to the noble work. He re-
minded them of the great monuments
of Christian faith and sacrifice scat
tered all over Europe and America. He
gloried in the thought that the grand
est edifices on earth were dedicated
to the service of God. Much has al
ready been done here" he said, but
much more remains to be accomplish
ed" He reminded his hearers that in
the end they and their children would
reap the fruits of all. Bishops and
priests do their work and pass to their
reward-but congregations remain
children take their parents places, and
thus generation after generation in
herits the good we do. He also referred
to the coming fair for the benefit of
the Sacred Heart Church and eloquent
ly urged all to generous assistance.
The Corner Stone Itself.
The cornerstone, which is of Georgia
marble, and which was presented by
Capt. Brady Of Canton, Ca, bears the
inscription, III. I. o. G.. d." the motto
of the Benedictine Order, and Sacred
Heart Church, 1902 The collection
which was made for the benefit of the
new church was a liberal one. IT. is
hoped to push the work so that the
building will be finished by the end of
next year.

Honors by the Living to the Dead.
"Honors paid by the living to the dead
are as old and as universal as the
races of mankind. They follow the
bereavements of the cabin and the pal
ace Simple ceremonies attend the
humble and lowly. and frail memorials
mark their resting places; while the
long procession, the solemn and lofty
dirge. the crowded assemblage and the
voice of eulOgy all wait on departed
glory. The barbarian chants
requiem over the grave of his fellow
mortal, and the Christian celebrates
the virtues of his fellow comrade. No
one can ever die all forgotten, and no
one ever wholly perishes from the
face of the earth. The influences of
a life in this world are eternal.
THE tomb cannot enclose them; they
escape from its portals and continue
to pervade the daily walks of men like
unseen spirits, guiding human thought
and human action. Who is free from
their touch? Whose life and destiny
have not been colored and fashioned by
the influences of those who have pass
ed away even unknown to fame? The
greatest actors on the broad stage of
human affairs have pointed back from
the loftiest points of their elevation to
the mother with her prayers to the ia
Their with his toll and devotion, to un-
selfish kindred, to self-sacrificing
friends, and bowed with reverence be-
fore the living power associated forever
with their names and memories. Ev-
cry mind and heart reproduces some
of it's achievements and some of its
qualities in the minds and heatrs of
others, after 1t has gone to far off
shores and realms. These ceremonies
of ours to-day have the signification,
therefore. of not only honoring the
dead but of being an inspiration to the
living. By again recalling the happy
laugh, the smiling, radiant faces, and
the good and noble acts of our dead
brothers, and by practicing charity and
forgetting any shortcomings which
they may have had in life, the mem
ory of their career must be an infiu-
ence for good and unconsciously we
profit by having been their friends and
associates in the lodge room and In the
outer world"

Disappointment Pace gave an in

which ne outlined in a clear and sim
pie manner to those present.. His re-
marks were exceedingly interesting and
before the close of the services he dis

Superintendent Mcconnell, of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
Home, was decidedly interesting in his
remarks and kept the audience
amused from beginning to end. He
told several pathetic stories of Chris
tian childhood and the influence a good
child can have over older and wicked
persons.
Remarks were also made by the pas

of the Sunday School, the latter stating
that the membership of the school was

Superintendent Varnedoe in his
statement concerning the society drew
the distinction between the Sunday

their different anniversaries. The Sum

not the Sunday-school, but a society
composed of members of the school,

ago this month by the pastor of the
church, and its anniversary is always
celebrated in December Its purpose Is
to assist needy Sunday schools in the

MADE HIS DOG FIGHT.
On ''Tear" @. 70. Dunlop Raised the
Sand ON Bull Street.

On a ''Tear" o. e. DunIop Raised the
Sand on Bull Street.
Under the influence of liquor and at
tracing considerable attention at
Bull and Broughton streets yesterday
afternoon, Charles A. Dunlop, a young
white man, a bartender, was arrested
by Patroln1an Jernigan. A message had
been sent to police headquarters from
the Oglethorpe Club about Dunlop's
condition.
The bartender had been in a fight a.
short while before and went to the
corner where he could attract more at
tention. He was accompanied by q vi
oious looking bull dog that he had
thoroughly under control. Dunlop
amused himself by making his dog
tackle other CANNES that CHANGED to
be passing. His last act was to make
the bull jump an inoffensive dog
that was accompanied by its mis-
tress. Patrolman Jernigan was in
sight by this time and had to use his
club in getting Dunlop's dog off the
smaller canine. Dunlop was made a
prisoner and besides being charged
with being drunk and disorderly he
was charged with having a vicious dog
on the street.
Prominent members of the Ogle-
thorpe Club volunteered to appear as
witnesses against the disturber of the
peace. Dunlop seems to have a pen
chant for Bull street when he is in his
cups, and several months ago was ar<
rested in front OF the Court House after
creating quite a scene. He will be ar
raigned before Recorder Myrick in Po-
lice Court this morning.
