by winding stair, it's benches black
with age, had not been opened for
many years. Now sentiment grew to
open 1t one Sunday during the summer.
and Gideon was asked TO conduct a
service by committee of grave men.
81 am but entering college" he
cried, this lad who had plowed from
sunrise. II know nothing yet of what
i expect to learn. Men. ii will be sew
en- years before l am fit TO teach the
Word of the Lord"
The Lord will tell you what to say"
said very old man, who remembered
his grandfather, "and we have no 9TH
er 20 speak to us, Gideon"
He promised to give them an answer
on the morrow and went to see Flavilla.
There was no happier woman than she
those days. She was sitting at her sew
ing when Gideon came in, humming a
quaint country ditty. He thought her
a changed woman. Surely, she had
never seemed so handsome in the olden
days of toll and anxiety. He told her
what the people asked. It's full mean
ing dawned upon her.
You must do this thing, Gideon, )"
she said, after a silence. at will help
both you and the people"
"But a sermon?''
Flavilla struggled with the thought.
To her mind sermon meant deep
knowledge, research. feeling, convic-
ton. Had not she talked these things
over with Gideon since they were boy
and girl together? The very fact of
long, continued thought upon these
subjects served well now.
There will be nothing expected OF
you that you are not ready for" she
told him, after a time, land since
you cannot talk of great things,
would it not be as well to speak of
those at hand?" Don't preach. You
amt fit. You're just common
man now. Talk man to man."
And, Gideon, dear" she went on,
don't forget to talk little to us
women. We need lots o. God. It's
God for every day we want"
He only said, after silence: Ella
villa, | guess I'll go on home"
She understood him. They walked
down 20 the gate together. There
was a dark evergreen tree there and
"Flavilla, you must wear your bride
dress. And sit all alone on the front
bench"
He still had his misgivings as to
the propriety of his proceeding. The
next morning he wrote a misspelled
letter to the college president, ask
ing him for advice. Sunday came
and no reply had reached him.
The interest in the meeting was
widespread. 1t was Sunday in a late
August and the little church was
filled, the overflow standing about
the doors and windows. Flavilla had
! chosen some of her old schoolmates
to practice hymns with her. Their
musical knowledge was limited, but
1t would help. They sat on the sec
ond bench in their clean summer ar
| ray. On the first bench, alone, sat
Flavilla. She wore the white dress
she was to be married in, and sim
pie hat. When the house was full
Gideon walked in. He wore his new
| black suit, but looked like true sou
of toll, a lad from the very midst oi
the people, Flavilla started a hymn
all sang who could, then Gideon read
not any too well, a portion of the
| Scriptures. Afterwards he stepped
down from the pulpit and stood al.
most among them.
Gideon will never preach such a
sermon again. He has gone from

rHE WISE Man WHO EELL


There was man that people said
Was wonderfully wise;
He knew the names Of all the stars
That twinkle In the skies
The telescope and spectroScope
He wisely used to give
sEsn knowledge OF the smallnesso OF
The sphere on which we live.
HE know the number OF the tons
That distant Neptune weighs,
He knew exactly to the dot
The length OF Saturn's days.
This wise man made a map of Mars
And marked the seas up there;
He wrote on Marian density
And exc on Marian air.
But when the wise man crossed the street
Two fools shot guns one day:
The wise man stayed 20 see, instead
OF hurrying away.
The fools shot all their weapons OF.
And when they shot no more
Men gathered UP his corpse that they
Had deemed so wise before

OF
ACRES FOR RICE
GRAZING LAND RECLAIMED IN
LOUISIANA AND TEXAS-EXTEN-
SIVE FARMING IN THE SOUTH.

In farms covering less than sixteen
of the familiar sX-mile- square town
ships of the national survey, 10000, 900
has been invested. From the farming
done on this small area over 10000 peo-
pie live They produce more than two
thirds of the rice eaten in the United
States. he way in which they are do
ing this is probably the best example
of scientific, cooperative and extern
sive farming by whole communities in
the world.
The natural condition which makes
this sort of farming possible and profit
able is the existence, under this dis
triCt in Southwestern Louisiana and
Southeastern Texas, of a kind of huge
sponge. From 400 to 200 feet below the
surface, waiting only for the driller's
anger and the pump, are gravel strata
containing an unfailing supply of wa
ter. The best and most productive va
rieties of rice must have a soil not only
wet but actually covered with water
for three or four months. Yet the land
must be such that the water can be
speedily drained away when the grain
begins to mature.
These conditions this district of Loui-
siana and Texas meets as probably
does no other. Yet only within the last
twenty years were the facts discovered.
For more than century the region
had been a sparsely populated cattle
range. About twenty years ago some
open minded western pioneers wander
ed into it, They were not content to
accept the mere surface, but began to
look for elements of wealth below the
sod. They discovered the subterranean
sponge. They saw that rice hourished,
even with the rude and scanty cultiva-
ton it had received. They saw the pos
sibilities of combining unfailing water
supply with a favorable soil. They de-
voted themselves to rice.
In eighteen years they have built a
network of canals, 1,200 miles in length,
and brought 100000 acres under culti'
walton. They are producing 100000
barrels of rice annually, requiring TO-
600 cars to haul it to market. They
have built pumping plants costing an
average of $1,000 for every 100 acres.
When the crop is ripe they employ 81
600 harvesting machines doing the
work of 100000 men.
They have built rice mills within
sight of the fields. They have built
towns, one of 1000 people, where less
than ten years ago was not single
house. From an apparently barren
and well-nigh worthless soil they have
caused to spring up a great and profit
able industry, the foundation of a civil
lization manifested in education, reli-
gion, patriotism and all the other char
acterisucs of vigorous Americanism.-

WILKINS GETS
A GILDED CUBE
FAILS TO PRINT
SUIT AND NOW NURSES WRATH.

SAN FRANCISCO Sept. 16.-James
II. Wilkins, the man who dared GX-
Governor James II. Budd to knock
chip from his shoulder, has been gold
bricked by the Examiner. Several days
ago wilkins began suit in San Rafael
against that paper for 100000 damages
because it had accused him of betray-
ing EX-COngTessman Thomas j. Geary
at the recent Democratic State conven-
ton Yesterday wilkins withdrew his
suit. That is where the gold-brick
comes in.
The Examiner had no desire to fight
the suit in court, so after some prelim-
mary negotiations it offered to print a
retraction, also a letter of explanation
by Geary, if the suit were withdrawn.
wilkins accepted the terms. He was
to make good his part of the deal fist.
He did SO, by Withdrawing the suit.
This morning he saw Gearys letter in
the Examiner, but search high or
search low, nowhere in the paper could
be find any retraction. He had lifted
a thinly -gilded cube. As he realized
that he had been buncoed his blood
boiled fiercely, and his temperature
rose almost to the challenging point,
but, alas he could do nothing except
fume helplessly. His suit was out of
court and he couldn't very well begin
it again.
This was sad to wilkins, but the Ex-
aminer was not happy 1t had merely
reduced the size Of it's dish of crow.
Last week it declared in great black
letters that wilkins was a Judas. This
morning it printed signed explana-
ton by Thomas j, Geary in which he
said among other things:
Il know that Mr.. Wilkins did not di-
vulge to the opposition what he learn
ed in my rooms and never abused the
confidence l have always reposed in
him. and that he was loyal to me and
my interests all through the contest"
wilkins must take his balm out of
that He has learned one thing. how
ever. The next time he makes an
agreement with the Examiner he will
demand that it must first carry out it's
part of the agreement.
