The superintendent of the public
schools of Meridian, Miss, asked the
pupils of the first four grades to write
letters to Santa Claus few days before
Christmas. The twelve best letters in

that city. Among the letters by the
pupils Of the second grade we find one

eight years old. She has many friends

'It is an important lesson that one piece or first rate work Is worth 1.U00 pieces of second rate work. After a De remembered s's by what iiVsosss it's sons have @ produced Tn the way of masterpieces, not of pretty good work.
 But there is another side, and of this I want to speak. It Is the side that pro- duces service to the nation. Out of 100 men one may be productive scholar. but the other ninety nine can do decent work if they take the pains. If they do not. or t they content themselves with service. they will be of little value.
 Object Lesson in Politics
 When we are inclined in these days to be pessimistic over American political af- fairs 1t is pleasant thing to look hack over the last twenty years in the life the way of an object lesson to have a man serve twice as Mayor of Brooklyn. see him for twelve years President of one of the foremost institutions of learn ing In the country. and then see him be- come the chief officer of this city. It is not merely creditable to MT. Low, it Is creditabie to us. s <
 Tt is a mark on our credit side. Heav- en knows we have one or two marks on way to make 1t balance even.
 Now. when it comes to rendering ser- vice, what counts most in the college man, as with every other man, is not intellect, not honesty or courage, but character. Better than a strong body sound mind. Is that aggregate of virile and decent qualities which makes up what we call character. man strong in mind or body who misuses his strength be- comes a foe to the body polite, and should be hunted down by all decent men. On the other hand. if he is a nice man, but of no account, one can do little with him. In life. as in war. patriotism and devotion are necessary. but if a man have away his usefulness Is impaired.
 Qualities to Insure Success,
 Tn civic strife we have little use for The man who makes himself a force for cleanliness, for civic righteousness. is the man who counts. First, he must have honesty. then courage, for the timid good man avails little in doing the worlds work. Lastly and above all, he must have common sense. Without this he is at the mercy of those who without his how to make wrong effective.
 ITO you. men of Columbia. much has been given. We have a right to expect much of you. We have right to expect from you service in philanthropy and de- cent political effort. And remember that the man who does his work for the sake of doing 1t well alone does it well. The man who is impelled to try one partie- ular job and to do 1t well is of value.
 Tn doing such service to our nation we need not only the soft and gentle virtues. but the virtues belonging to a race of vigorous men, virtues of courage and honesty, and not merely honesty which refrains from doing wrong, but honesty that wars aggressivelv for right"

 It is amusing enough to discover that the cattle rancher. though thousand cows come up to water at his tanks every day or two, will yet serve condensed milk from cans that come from New Jersey, that his beef bears the mark of Kansas City, that even his poultry and eggs are imported at enormous prices from Kan, sas. His butter also comes canned. If 1t were not for the patient Chinese garden. Ar. even the best irrigated valleys would he without fresh vegetables. But if the Houthwesterner fails in garden-making, he does delight in flowers vines and shade trees. They relieve the rnonotouv nf the gray desert. and link him with his old green home in the East.

In few .vears white oranpos mo

In few years white oranges may
grace the American dinner table or
the Italians fruit wagon. One of the
explorers of the Agricultural Depart
ment discovered this freak of nature
in his rambles along the shores of the
Mediterranean some months ago. and
brought some cuttings from the tree
to the United States. These were
carefully grated on an ordinary stock
at The Department grounds, and arc
now three feet high. A cutting oi
this plant was sent to Santa Ana, Cal.
to be tried IN that climate. A couple
of years will sec the first fruit. If il
proves of fine flavor, cuttings will b,
widely scattered, and in time the whit,
orange may be as plentiful as the seed
less orange.
