A Bank President Who Did Not For
get His Old Time Friend.
"Come in in the morning, and the
bank will have something for you t.
d." said the president Of Broadway
bank to meek looking man whose
hair was white and whose eyes were
marked by deep crows feet as he left
the office, with a bright look of salts
faction on his face that had not been
there before.
LET me tell you n story" said the
president as he motioned to me to re-
main. II was living in Iowa, and
three city lots composed the capital
that looked to to give me start In
business. l held on to them for long
time while working for $35 month
in real estate office until they had
advanced in value to $1,000, when
sold them to st. Louis man.
ut was nearly o'clock, and hur.

posit slip and laid it, with my gold and
handbook, in front of the receiving

and you had better not make your de-

Next morning the banks failure

POULTRY POINTERS.

Pure water is more essential than
clean grass.
Even though turkeys are good for
ayers it will not pay to let them 60
without proper feeding.
Everything in the rearing of young
poultry depends upon their care and
management at least until we'll feat.l-
cred:
Fowls inclined to fatten too easily
are not good layers. The flesh they
carry makes them lazy, and this never
promotes laying.
Middlings make good food for poul-
try, but if wet up alone it is too sticky.
The better plan is to mix with bran
or corn and wet with milk or scalding
water.
Whitewash IS better than paint on
the poultry houses, for the reason that
it costs less and has a purifying influ-
ence. 1t may be applied as often as
once a month to advantage.
The properties of sunflower seed are
peculiar, and a small quantity fed at
the proper time will essentially aid in
imparting to the plumage of adult
fowls gloss that no other grain will
produce.

WHAT WISDOM DENIED us.
The Most Fatal Gift That Could BE
Conferred ON Mankind.

Conferred ON Mankind.
Granted the power to do it, which
would be the most fatal gift that could
be conferred on mankind?
OmnipOtence without omniscience.
An omnipotent man. with the best of
Intentions toward his kind. could cas-.
lily wreck the universe and probab
would, since, unless he knew every
Thing, he would infallibly make some
mistake which could not fail to have
very terrible consequences. Next to
this would be the power Of foreseeing
events. This would eliminate the great
est factor In human happiness, because
the man who could foresee everything
would have no hope. He would not
only know his own fate, but that Of all
other human beings and also all their
feelings and intentions, which, Of itself
alone, would make society impossible.
Equally terrible would be the power
of praioaGing life at will, since no man
or woman woSd willingly die so long
as life remained eran tolerable. This
is proved by the shocking conditions
under which people now .Sasent to
live. The race would probably con-
tinue to multiply indefinitely until al,
the habitable portions Of the globe be-
came overcrowded. Then would CON.
'mence a struggle for existence which
no human imagination could portray.
War would be an impossibility, since
no man could kill another who did not
wish to die, and humanity would reach
some Uncomfortable climax of misery
from which nothing but the interven-
ton Of a higher power could possibly
release it.-Pearson's Weekly.
