His Last Hope Realized.

In the first opening Of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor Of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encoun-
tered much: bad water, which together
with the severe heat. gave him very
severa diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and along
in June the case became SO bad he ex-
pected to die. One day one OF his
neighbors brought him one small
bottle of Chamberlain Collie. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as last hope
A big dose was given him while he
WAS rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and i'll a few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect
of the medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for fortnight.
That one little bottle worked com
plete cui o. and he cannot help but feel
grateful The season for bowel disor-
ders being at hand suggests this item.

Difference In Two Armies.


Eleven years after Appomsttox,
only 9 per cent of the surviving sold.
iers of the arimes of the union had
applied for pensions. According to
the estimate of Commissioner Ware
before the end of 1903 there will have
boen field applications for pensions
for so per cent of the men who enlist
ed to fight for the United States
against Spain in 1898.
The impressive comparison shows.
for one thing. that the national con-
seriousness had acquired sympathy
with the pension habit. which has
been fostered by the cumulative lib
erality of the government. 1t indi-
Gates growing readiness to avail of
proaches the patriotic readiness to
fight his battles. The total number
of enlisted men and officers engaged
in the war with Spain was 223, 235.
Applications for invalid pensions
up to May /, 1903, were 81, 049, sup
plemented by $3.50 widows and de-
pendents' who desired government
aid. OF these claims, 1S, 1856 have
been rejected and "a, ,2lG are pending.
Further applications are reaching
the pension bureau at the rate of hun
dreds daily.
About one-third of the claims filed
have thus far been rejected. Assum-
ing that the ruling of the pension
bureau is nearly always correct, this
reveals a lamentable percen tage of
attempt to impose upon Uncle Sam s
generosity. But these reflections also
show thoroughness and exactness in
the army rolls and in the surgical re-
cords of men when mustered out.
This is a detail creditable to the ad-
ministration of the war department
Mt that time; it will save the govern
ment many millions of dollars--un-
less further pension legislation inter
venes. = New York Mail and Express.

The merchants are contributing
literally to the Fourth of July fund
and everything possible should be done
to give them an opportunity to receive
all possible direct benefits from the
celebration. This year the Fourth
falls on Saturday and 1t will be ex-
tremely impracticable for the stores
to close 1t is therefore to be hoped
that arrangements may be made for
the stores to remain open at least the
greater part of the day in justice to

PRAYER and Per Diem.

II there is any body of men in the
country which needs divine guidance
and blessing it is the average state
Legislature. Evidently the gentlemen
who compose these bodies feel that
way. themselves. for provision is made
for chaplain, an official prayer max
or, who is supposed to call down upon
the assembled statesmen the divine
blessing. But it seems that in Illi-
nois considerable scandal has been
created because the chaplain undertook
to champion one of the political fac
tions in his prayer. The result is a
move to do away with the political
chaplain. One objection is raised to
the opening Of the proceedings with
prayer, but the official prayer that is
paid for by the state at the rate of n
dollar minute is held to an affront
to Christianity. There is no ques.
tion but that in many legislatures
there is an undignified scramble
among some of the members. of the
clergy for the position of chaplain.
In the Illinois case the chaplain of
the last legislature was partisan of
tho speaker and on the morning after
the riot in the legislature hall he
offered prayer in which he called
the attention of the Almighty to the
speaker AZ q brave, strong man, who
rose in time of peril to guard the
state" This prayer cost the state IS
and rs the speaker is accused of
being a tool of corrupt political
gang in Illinois. the opposition siren.
uously objected to this invocation wit h
n political pull attached.
To most self respecting Christians,
this sort Of paid. by the minute, per-
functory prayer making performance
seems like travesty on religion. 1t
has in it no spirituality, and no
real good comes of it-Leadville

EORDHAM COLLEGE FARM.
Sixty Acres on Which Are Grown
Vegetables fov. Embellishments,

Vegetables for Establis hment.
st. John college at Fordham, N. Y,
is one of the largest farmers Of the
Bronx. The glebe lands of the col
lege. closely bordering Bronx park. are
about sixty acres in extent. Here the
farmer OF the college grows hay and
corn for nearly score of cows and
keeps walled garden in which are
grown fresh vegetables for the table.
The whole arrangement smaclS of the
|'mediaeval monastery, says the New
York Times only the clergy do not
work the glebe. Nevertheless st.
Johns is the only colltg sc in New York
city that In part supplies its own table
from its own land. The score Of COWS
do not give enough milk for the needs
of the college and the products of the
garden must be supplemented from
the markets, but the whole situation
serves to recall time when ST. Johns
was really in the country, when the
great ugly town had not penetrated
the grounds and the smiling glebe
lands actually produced enough to feed
both teachers and pupils.
The long row Of farm buildings and
especially the old-fashoned barn with
its dependent cowsheds bespeak the
earlier conditions. A long, narrow farm
| lane lined with giant elms leads east
ward to the rear fields of the glebe and
still looks as it must have looked when
all the region round was yet unspoiled
country. The farmer lives in one Of
the row of farm buildings, and the
strange impertinence of chllds cart
in the college garden indicates the
presence of the lay element.
Oddly mixed vita farming nipple
ments are old desks and chairs from
the schoolroom, ana old furs, ture Of
various kinds from the lodgings Of
the teachers and students, while
priests in long robe and biretta occa-
siOnally take their constitutional along
the farm lane in the wake of the farm
err and his laborers
| How long st. Johns can maintain its
old farming traditions nobody can tell
| but the time must come when it will
no longer be profitable to keep the
glebe under cultivation. The yearly
growing beauty Of Bronx park is con-
stantly adding to the value of the
glebe, and the development OF the
whole region round about It is contrib
uting to the same thing. Already the
extension of the elevated railroad to
the entrance of the park has taken a
! considerable slice off the fine Old col
lege campus. and some years ago the
college authorities leveled bit Of the
ground to the north Of the campus
proper, as if in anticipation Of time
when the campus might be extended in
that direction. The time will surely
come when the glebe will be further
narrowed by the sale of portions not
needed for ordinary college purposes,
and the farm will be merely a ira

Signs of EydrOphOiia

AS to hydrophobia: Beware of the
dog when it becomes dull and hides
away; appears restless; always on the
move and providing; whose counte-
nance IS somber and sullen; walks with
head down, like bear. Beware Of
one that scratches necessarily and
tears up things. Look out for the dog
that has become too fond of you and
is continually trying to lick your hand
and face. Beware, above all. of the
dog which has difficulty in swallow
ing, which appears to have bone in
It's throat. and one that has wandered
from home and returns covered with
dirt, exhausted and miserable.
