LITTLE SEEDS OF KINDNESS.
How Representative Curtis Came Near
MakinQ an Enemy

Secretary Wilson is receiving nu-
merous requests from all parts of the
country for seeds, and is replying to
all OF them that congress at this ses-
sion has made no provision for seed
distribution, and there are no seeds
eft on hand at the department of ag-
riculture. Representative Charles
Curtis OF Kansas, who was one of the
contestants in the recent fight for SEN
atorial honors, told story to-day
about the farmers in connection with
this matter. One of his newly elect
ed compeers came to him in great in
a1gnatlon. The compeer was rapidly
reaching the conclusion that career
congress was humiliating sort OF
business. With a few words more
orcible than elegant, he showed Cur
It's postal card he had just received.
It's back merely bore this inscription:
III. d. Jones, Ownena, Kansas" Moth
! ,ng more, nothing less. There was no
Key to the possible code; no accom-
! panying diagram to explain the brief
!, but apparently ineXplicable puzzle.
WHdt are you gong 10 uO dOOut
it - asked Curtis, smilingly.
DO about it? Fold up the postal
very carefully and throw it in the
waste basket, of course"
Then you can count on losing a
few votes next campaign.
'Why?" asked the surprised new
statesman.
Simply" replied Curtis, that that
{ is an tablished way for asking for
government seeds. You'll get a great
many of them before the time comes
or the annual seeds distribution to
begin, and what such postals mean is
to put the name forwarded on your
list of those to whom you will have
the seeds sent this year out of your
allotment from the agricultural de-
partment." 1t was surprise to the
new member, and he went away NUT
tering at the divers duties of congress-
men, but. nevertheless, his constitu-
ent, Jones, was one of the first to get
the seeds in the ensuing distribution.

Sweetness That Never Pals.

During a sleepless night the VeZier
Muejjeduddn Kumija dispatched his
slave, Bedruddin Ejas, to bring him
sweets. The slave procured a copper
kettle heaped with many kinds Of
fruits and sweets, and Mujjeduddin
began to eat.
you relish them. my master?"
asked the slave.
The veZier shrugged his shoulders.
These fruits are sweet for the mo-
ment, he said; but show me fruit
the sweetness of which will endure
even unto the Judgment Day"
Such fruits there are, my mas
teri, cried the slave, and hastened
toward the Mesched Husa. where he
awoke the starving orphans in the
house of Alvin and led them forth
and into the room of his master.
Overioyed, the famished children le-
VOured the fruits
Look, o, my MASTER said the
slave. Here you see fruits the sweet
ness OF which endures unto the judy.

The wledxe Of God.

1t is the knowledge and life Of God
that change the world of mankind for
good. And great and wonderful and
glorious as is God, SO likewise great
and wonderful and glorious are the
changes which he effects in the life of
the individual, of society. Of the church
and of the world. Not too great things
can we look for at the hands of God
for he "is able to do exceeding abun-
dainty above all that we ask or think"
Rev. G. NJ. Donaldson. Episcopalian,
New York
Cling to the Pillars
While the world is not so bright as
the words Of Christ has promised it
should be, we should not desert the
teachings of Christ The pillars OF our
faith can be found in the answer made
by Peter to Christ. Peter said that
there was no alternative. We must face
this question squarely, for by eompro-
mise we would take long step toward
hypocrisy. There is. then, no other
accomplished so much as Christia nifty
Rev. DIR. S. A. Martin, Presbyterian
Chambersburg, Pa.
Need of Self Examination.
Let us examine ourselves; let us be
honest as we examine into the evidence
of departed blessedness. \ man is
really what he is when he is alone with
God. There is no ear listening that
he wishes to captivate, no eye that he
seeks to favor. Just as you are with
God. that you are really aud will find
yourself to be on the last day. So your
dropping may be traced. 4 life with
out religion fades. What water is to
the plant what winding is to the
watch, just that is prayer to the Chris
tan. There may have been times
when you cried out, ooh. for a closer
walk with God"' If this is your spirit
you are near the Lord.-Rev. Madison
G. Peters Baptist Philadelphia,
Christ and the Common People.
| don't wonder that the common peo-
pie have ever felt a deep interest in Je-
sus There is that in his character to

man who has a spirit to appreciate true
nobility. He possessed Il moral cOur
age which WaSa a most attractive charm.
DO not think of him as all gcntlHness
and tenderness. With Il scheme of re.
demption free from all moral verte
bratcdneSs. He believed tremendously
in great spiritual truths and had the
courage of his convictions. How he
made the proud pharisees quail under
his just charge of hypocrisy. How the
money changers fled before the crack
of his ScourGe! No man ever became n
great leader who lacked in moral cour-
age. The common people have always
felt that i'll Jesus they had a moral
leader who feared no foe and who or
dcred no charges when he himself was
not ready to lead the way. He never

ADVOCATES THE REST METHOD
Western Kansas Farmer Says He Can

/
Raise Crops Every Other Year
ENTHUSIASTICALLY Jacob Trach
sci, a big farmer of Sherman county
says he has solved the problem how
to raise crops in the semi-arid district
Of the West. He says that almost any
kind of crop will grow in Western
Kansas II the land is properly titled.
Land should receive more rest there
than in the eastern part Of the state,
he says. A few years ago some grass
hoppers cleared up some patches in a
big wheat field on his farm. The crop
was entirely destroyed in spots, He
seeded the field again and found that
his largest, heaviest wheat that time
came from the spots where the grass
hoppers worked the year before. This
set him to thinking. He conducted a
series of experiments. He has dis
covered that the crops take up so much
moisture out of the ground that 1t is
for the land in the semi
arid region to recover IL the next year.
By letting the land rest every other
year he declares enough moisture will
to raise most any kind of
a crop. Several Western farmers will
give his new discovery a test.
The Globe-republican., 1903-08-06

GREAT Enthusiastically Thresh-
ing is in full sway in Barton coun-
ty. Fully $50 machines are stationed
over the county and the wheat yield
is of much better quality than was ex-
pected. Wheat that has been thresh-
ed near Great Bend has been averaging
twenty-five to thirty-five bushels an
acre, and testing sixty to sixty-three
pounds. The Barton county yield
this year will be between 100000
and 100000 bushels. Corn is in fine
condition at present, but will need
moisture soon.

The first of what Is believed will be
number of great estates owned by
the members of the British nobility,
will be established soon in South AZ
RIGA by the Duke Of Westminster. His
Grace has purchased number Of
farms, aggregating 5000 morgen Of
land in the Thabanchu district of the
Orange River Colony, on which he pro-
poses to settle a number Of families
from his estate in England, The es-
tate will be run on the English plan.
1t will be well stocked with game.
Trees will be planted and English
methods Of agriculture will be intro
duced. 1t is said that other wealthy
noblemen and commoners propose to
follow the example set by the Duke
Of Westminster. The British govern
ment heartily approves the idea, and
will give 1t all possible encourage
ment. 1t sees in Its movement a prac-
tical method of increasing British in
Auence in the conquered colonies, and
at the same time the potent influence
toward the building up and develop

Clubs Distribution Of Relief Funds
ENTHUSIASTICALLY In the neigh
borhood of two hundred floow sui
ferers met in North Topeka recently
and instituted an inquiry into the
manner in which the Topeka Com
mercial club has distributed the $70,
900 flood fund which it had collected
T. M. Hanley, president of the North
Topeka Flood club, has been instruct

demand that the remainder Of the
$4,000 be turned over to the flood
club for distribution. The meeting
was composed of representative citi-
zens, among them being merchants,
capitalists, clerks and laboring men.
Many of the flood sufferers Of the
North side testified That they had ap-
piled for aid to the Commercial club
and that any assistance whatever had
been refused. Some of the men pre-.
sent at the meeting said that they
had been charged with $3.50 worth

WIDOW OF SENATOR WEEDS.
Mrs. Cushman X. Davis Married to
William Hunter Doll.


The greatest surprise has been
caused in official and society circles
in Washington by the wedding of Mrs
Cushman X. Davis, the beautiful
widow of the late Senator Davis OF
Minnesota, and William Hunter Doll,
of Washington.
While Mrs. Davis was abroad after
the death of her talented husband ca
BILE dispatches stated that she was be-
trothed to Don Abazuza, formerly
Spanish minister to those colonies now
| in possession of the United States.
She met him at Paris when she ac-
companied her talented husband to
that city for the sessions Of the Paris
Peace Commission. This report gained
wide currency before II was finally
denied by Mrs. Davis, and was be-
lieved in the official circles in which
Mrs. Davis moved.
Many, however, who knew Mrs.
Davis most intimately, doubted the
story, and asserted that she would
never marry again. Their theory
seemed to be borne out when Mrs.
Davis returned from abroad and began
the task of compiling her late bus
bands writings and letters. In this
work she was assisted by Bishop
Hurst of the Methodist Episcopal
church, who was an old and esteemed
friend of Senator Davis.
AT that time, denying a former re-
port that she had chosen Paris for her
permanent residence, Mrs, Davis said
Nothing is farther from my
thoughts. shall live in the home on
H street, where ! had expected TO
spend such a pleasant winter with my
husband. My intention of making
Washington my official home is in &C.
cordance with my late husbands
wishes"
But Mrs. Davis later left the resi-
dence in H. street that was so full
of associations and memories and re-
moved to 1884 s street, Northwest.
1t was here, in the parlors Of her new
home, that she was married, the Rev.
Mr., Dunlap of st. Johns church Of
That Mr.. Doll was a friend of Mrs.
Davis has been known to intimates
of both for years, but that there was
anything of romance in their acquaint-
ance is revealed for the first time by
their wedding.
Mr.. and Mrs. Doll will make their
home in Washington.
