The Place of Character in Life
By CHARLES EUGENE BANKS,
Author Of "A Child Of the Sun" "n Hampton Road" Etc.

- The great are those whose thought is most secure,
MMXA Deep-rooted in a nowledge-nurtured soil;
&wXSMM&$# IT'S not enough that one be sweet or pure,
DWMMXMW Kind, generous, honest, free from sins turmoil;
yM&fsNP Fair blossoms these that promise fruit in time,
W#W But blossoms are not sure in any cline.
NaAAAMN ##E@Np The perfect grape that bushes on the vine,
w What constant effort was put forth that it
Might come at last to be both glass and wine,
A self-enfoldng self, beyond all wit
OF man it rests sereney on the vine
Zen SO must nature build your soul and mine.
Behold" He said, "the lilies how they grow"
There is the secret of the perfect life;
What boots tt the little we may know
Ends with a guess and perlshes in strife?
Growth and yet growth, there is no other way
By which to come into a better day.
Character is the only thing worth striving for in this life. 1T is
THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCESS. A man makes just that i'm
preston on his time that he is himself in quality. No more, no less.
This is true in art, business or the professions. The speaker may have
words without number, rhetoric of the best, a voice OF matchless pow
er and the faculty of turning sublime periods, but if he have not char
acter he might as we'll have kept silent. He will convince no one. 1t
is the same with the painter. However delicate his touch, however
keen his sense of color, however he may have mastered the technique
Of his art, if he be not great in himself no one will buy his pictures.
The merchant who knows all the tricks of the trade, but is narrow
or mean, or habby in his fiber, fails. 1t is written in the stars that
the light of a certain substance cannot pierce beyond its inherent pow,
er. No man can effect that which he is not.
1t would be well if the child at his mothers knee could be told
that his success in life would measure up to his own height as a MAN
and not a fraction of an inch beyond that point, that he could never
get anything by adopting the methods of another, but that he could
have all things if he grew to them
Observe the lilies how they grow. Quiet, serene, no fret OF
worry, no doubt, just growth always and ever. And at last beauty,
completeness. The very airs of heaven hasten to feed the growing
plant. So, too, the wisdom Of the ages comes readily to him who is
growing. knowledge cannot be put into a mans head as grain is
shoveled into a sack. The brain grows and the knowledge is there
waiting to rush into the expanding cells. And if the growth is gen.
eral in the man a character is the result! And character is I power, the
only power by which man can raise himself above his fellows. Meas
ue the success of any one of your acquaintance and then measure
all his qualities, good and bad, and YOU WILL FIND HE HAS
JUST THAT PLACE IN THE WORLD TO HIC HIS CHA
ACTER AS A WHOLE ENTITIES HIM. By growth we come to
character, and character is all.

LitigOus John Bull.

AS a race the English people must,
be very litigious, for judicial figures
given out in a recent parliamentary re-
turn show that on the average, in 1900,
one person in every 25 in Eng
land and Wales went to law during the
course of the year. These are, of
course, average figures, based on the
fact that there were $40, $50 civil cases
begun during that year. The London
Express in explaining these figures de-
clares that "the ca~ntakerously liti-
gious person and the tradesman who
is unfortunate in the number of GUS
toners who will not pay their debts
bring up the average."--Law Journal.

Mendenhalls started their thresbing

threshers about here won't make a
fortune this year on account of there
being 80 much straw for the amount
of grain.
The weather was so favorable last
week that the farmers could put in
all of six days in their harvest fields;
but on Saturday evening about six
O'Clock it commenced raining and
rained for over an hour.
The Sunday school classes in the
Reformed church taught by Mrs. Men

were about SIS, which goes for the

parents have the sympathy of many
friends in their great loss.
Several of the farmers about here
who have oats on level ground can't
cut them on account of the ground
being go soft. The Van de Haar boys
on the farm of the late {. Dykstra
have about 30 acres that they have to
let go to waste on the ground; Tone
VapZante on the Biting farm lost
about so acres; J. Q. Butler, A. Q. Noel,

Gesman Bros. 'Te11 of Splen-
did Lands In Charlton Co.

George Gesman, who has been in
Charlton County, Missouri, looking
after listed lands in that part of the
state grows enthusiastic about the
situation there in a letter to his
brother, N. J. Gesman, who is in this
city looking after business matters
here.
He says the land is as fine or finer
than Iowa land and is to be had at
prices far below that of choice Iowa
land. A number of Oskaloosa peo-
pie are going to the section to secure
farms.
George sent home some samples of
the grain that is grown on this land
and the same are to be seen at the
Chas. O. Pike drug store front. One
sample of an early variety has two
large ears to the stalk and will go
fully one hundred bushels to the acre,
1t is common thing to see fields
with the corn twelve and half to
fifteen feet high. The wheat harvest
is now in progress and theyield is av-
eraging As and 46 bushels to the acre.
There is hardly if any of the crop
that will go below thirty bushels to
the acre. The quality is of the very
best.
Land is being purchased rapidly in
hereabouts and the prices are ad-
vancing steadily on all farms. Prices
are now five to ten dollars higher
than they were sixty days ago and
they are advancing daily. The best
farms are being picked up rapidly by
home seekers and those who desire
to invest their money. 1t will be no
trouble to sell every piece of land
that we have listed and if any of our
people are contemplating purchasing
lands in this part we would advise
their coming here Immediately for
the bargains are being picked up
rapidly.
Several Des Moines men have been
in the locality and have made pur-
chases of large tracts of the land.
Henry Wallace, of "Wallace's
Farmer" has just bought another
large farm here, and others from the
capital.
