Make RELIGION AN UMBRELLA.
Rector's Ready wit Rebukes Golfers
Who Enter Church to Escape
q Shower.

When the bishop of Colorado, DR.. Sanford
olmsted, was rector of the Church of st.
Asaph, at Bala, Pa, his ready wit made him
at once the admiration and the fear of the
people of the neighborhood, says the New
York Tribune
There is a fashionable golf and riding club
at ba!a, with grounds that adjoin those of
the little church, and it happened on a
certain afternoon, when DR.. Olmsted was
holding special service, that a number of
golhng clubmen were caught in drenching
shower, and hurried for shelter into the
church.
they entered with great clatter of their
golf sticks, and with much suppressed chuck
hing and hard breathing. Their noise and
ther gaH sporting attire made Earring
note on the simplicity of the service But
DIR: Olmsted paid no heed to them till the
end OF his sermon. Then he said, with a
smile:
I'VE have heard of people who make a
cloak of religion. Now we know that there
are others who make of religion an umbrel.

during the last few weeks. Every one is
talking of the wonderful case of G.. w.
Gray, of Broadland, the particulars of which
which Mr.. Gray has just published:

I had been ailing with Kidney Trouble for
many years and it finally turned to Bright's
disease. All medicine had failed and was
in despair.

Everybody expected that Nj. Gray would
die, and his remarkable recovery is regarded
as little short of miracle by all who know
how veryilow he was. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly wonderful remedy.

Pear Growing PonnIar.

Every class of fruit has its day with
the amateur. just now the pear is on
the rising tide of popularity and is
being doomed by the nursery agent
Car loads of this delicious fruit are
shipped into the north annually, and
the home grower who has fruit to sell
has no trouble in realizing good prices
If you have rolling land, with good fair
drainage and clay soil, and there are
number of such locations in the cen.
trail west, you may be safe in trying a
few. But for the northern half of the
belt or on low black soils, beware
Under such conditions the pear blight

Care of Horses in Spring.

Called shoulders are very common in
the spring when the horses are first put
to work, and are easier prevented than
cured, especially if the animal is kept
at work. 1t is very important to see
that the collars and harness fit proper
ly; then the collars should be kept
clean; keeping the collars well oiled
will be help. Wash the shoulders at
noon and night with soft water after
removing the harness. When the teams
are stopped for rest in the field, pull
the collars away from thel horses
shoulders; in this way gals may gen.
orally be prevented.-Midland Farmer.

Farm. Orchard and Garden,

A good, thrifty, well-kept orchard
and small fruit garden on the farm
adds materially to its value in dollars
and cents, as well as providing health
and pleasure for all members of the
family. The profits are in many ways
far in excess OF the cost of mainten-
ance, and there is not one valid reason
why a single farmer should deprive
himself of good variety of the home
grown fruit.-Midland Farmer.

MAKING AN OPTIMIST.

Mr.. Bryan is doing very we'll in
Europe. In his Thanksgiving day adj
dress in London, as printed officially
in The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan began:
"Mr. Chairman, Your Excellency,
Your Grace, My Lords, Ladies' and
Gentlemen" After this gracious be-
ginning Mr.. Bryan complimented Am
bassador Choate as one of the great
est of American lawyers, and admit
ted that he was proud of the achieve
ments of the United States, that he
contemplated the present with salts
faction and looked to the future with
hope.
This was admitting more in Lon
don than Mr.. Bryan would admit az
home, but he went further, and said:
Our nation must discharge it's debt
not to the dead but to the living"
and must furnish to the world the
highest ideal the world has ever
known" He said also: I'VE must do
better than those who have gone be-
fore. We would not meet the re-
sponsibilities Of today if we did not
build still higher the social structure
to which they devoted their lives"
At home, Mr.. Bryan, in the last
eight years, has said very little in
commentator of what has been
achieved by the United States. He
has said very little about hope, and
has taken very pessimistic view of
the present and the future.
Once in Europe, however, he talks
very much as some OF the republican
leaders talked in the last presidential
campaign, and in the campaign OF
last fall. There has not been a
single note Of despair in anything
that Mr.. Bryan has said in England
or Italy or Russia. He has exhibited
pride in what his country has accom-.
plished, and he has not admitted
once, so far as his remarks have been
reported, that the country is going
straight to destruction under republi.
can rule.
1t seems probable that Mr.. Bryan
will return to the United States a
wiser If not better American than
he was when he went abroad. He
seems to have escaped from the envi
ronment Of defeat that narrowed his
vision as to American achievement
and distorted his vision as to the i'm
mediate future of the country.
