Coyetousness.

Covetousness does not consist in
a lawful care about the things of
this life. or in proper regard to
the principles of prudence and fru-
gality, but it consists in too eager
desire after worldly things. That
is. setting our heart upon
them; loving them; giving them
oursbest and chief desires until we
lose interest in all else. It may be
known by the tenacity with which
we hold on to the things of life;
treating them as our chief good,
making great sacrifices to retain
them, feeling extreme regret at los
ing them, and thus making life q
burden. The general causes of
coyetousness are many and diverse,
such as corrupt and perverted
state of mind, false idea of the
value of things. living hV1 sens
alone without real principle. afraid
of trusting God, and a desire to
have within ourselves wherewith
to oonfide and wherewith to sup
port. To such the body is every
thing"

A striking example of the grow
ing power and insolence of aggre-
gated wealth in this country was
afforded last week by the attitude
of the anthracite coal operators in
their conference with the President
of the United States and the rep
resentatives of organized labor.
These operators treated the Presi-
dent of the United States, the man
who occupies the chair held by
Washington, jefferson and Lin
coln, as if he might have been a
constable who had been negligent
in the collection of a debt, or in
the eviction of a tenant. These
spoiled children of monopoly have
learned to estimate even the Presi-
dent of the United States. Their
personal manners were rude and
overbearing, quite in contrast with
the quiet dignity of John Mitchell.
They scornfully refused to accept
Mr.. Mitohell's proposition that all
matters in difference be submitted
to the President or such arbitra.
tors as the President might select,
suggesting instead that local or
CARNATIONS might submit their
grievances to courts of Common
Pleas in Pennsylvania. If the an
thracite monopoly can thus on the
verge of winter and. in the face of
an impending national calamity,
defy public opinion and disregard
public interests, what may not all
of the monopolies of the country
accomplish in the full fruition of
their powers? Vote against the
trusts by voting against the men
who represent them.-Huntington
Advertiser.

II You Cannot Say Something
Good About One, Don't Say
Anything.
Eva Former" records dispatch
from Richmond, Va. "stood be-

She left note saying goodbye to
her mother and Tom the young
man to whom she was engaged to
be married"
Poverty had nothing to do with
this suicide. for Eva Farmers
father has means Her health was
good, too, and life seemed to hold
every promise of happy future.
Why, then. did this girl quit the
world in SO dreadful manner. leav-
ing behind her broken-hearted
mother and father and desolated
lover?
Because slander had been busy
with her name. Her farewell note
said that certain rumors sgainst
her character were SO unjust that
she could not stand them, and SO
thought it best to get out of the
way of people,"
Only an innocent victim of SLAM
der's tongue could have been thus
tortured into despairing self-de-
struotion. If guilty, Eva Farmer
would have had the hardihood TO
defy the gossips and brazen it out.
Guilt is not sensitive.

ing of Eva Farmers death ought
to have far wider influence than
upon the little circle of chatterers
who drove her to her untimely and
shocking end.
Everywhere the tongue of SLAM
der wags. Often malice moves it,
but much oftener still the impell-
ing cause is mere love of gossip,
which springs from the thought
lessness of idle minds.
Many women who mean no harm
are given to gossip. Talk about
the personal affairs of people of
their acquaintance makes easy and
piquant conversation. 1t grows
into habit, pernioious always, and
hard to shake off.
There are men gossips, too, who
are much more despioable than
their female counterparts, for the

if he knows her to be not innocent
he should have the masculine pro-
teotive instinct and scorn to throw
stones. Only a small-brained and
meansouled male creature can find
delight in ungenerous prattle about
the sex to which his mother and
sisters belong. What he needs is
the correcting hand of real man.
A good rule for women to follow
who are tempted to gossip is never
to say things in the absence of
other people that they would shrink
from saying in the presence of
those people.
Had that good rule been in force
in Richmond poor Eva Farmer

harrow fields IN which the seeds has
been deposited for three weeks or
more.
Flooding Of the land before the
crop is up is, also, practiced much
more than is good for the beets.
There seems to be a tendency this
year to neglect sub irrigation in fur
rows but to food the fields and then
use harrow, and this very often long
before the land is dry enough to
allow this work. Narrowing Of seed
ed beet fields is, generally speaking,
against the rules of beet culture, and
while in some special cases it might
be the only means Of breaking the
crust, it should always be considered
the last step before replanting. A
large number of acres of imperfect
stand are entirely due to these two
factors, and when the beet growers
will lay the cause to the dry weather
and somewhat unfavorable climatic
conditions, they are deceiving them
selves, as the actual cause IN about
rs per cent of these cases is entirely
due to too deep planting and flood
ing, followed by narrowing. I be-
lieve that this years experience has
taught great many growers good
lesson, and that they will next sea-
son plant again at moderate depth,
and, also, fall plow and winter irri-
gate their land, which procedure has
proven extremely favorable this year.
