MCCORMICK HARVESTER CON-
PANY BESTOW5 GIFTS UPON
WORKMEN.

The old remark that corporations
have no souls does not always prove
true, although from outward appear
ances some seem to be so organized,
still there are frequent exceptions.
One of tho most recent and pro-
minent exceptions to the rule,if it
be rule, is shown in the action of
the stockholders of the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Company or at
least at one time composed that
successful and we'll known copper
alton. When the old company was
sold to and became part of the In
ternational Harvesting Machine Co.
the managers decided to remember
their employees in a substantial man
ner and it took the shape Of block
of the stock in the new company,
each to be recognized somewhat in
accordance with the salary being
drawn and the responsibility OF the
position being occupied at the time.
It is understood that all employees
were remembered and the distrib-
ution has been made. There are
several in this city who are beneti-
Charles in handsome amounts of
stock some of them being as follows:
Ira G. Stark, general agent, forty
shares of the par value Of 800, or
$4,000; James C. Jensen, ten
shares, or 1000; II. W. Jensen, ten
shares, or $500. The travelling men
all had envelopes sent them but the
amounts are not at present known
but it is understood they We're for
very substantial and valuable
amounts.-Albert Lea Tribune.

JEFFERSON, Mo-, Speciai.-'The Col
ored farmers of Missouri" are words
heard in one connection or the other
nowadays. The words are an appe1la-
ton for all in one. Not until Novem-
ber 6, 1902 were the co1ored farmers
grouped under this head. Then it was
when President B. F. Allen of Lincoln
Institute organized the Farmers Con-
vention here. Then it was when men
who represent all kind of work with
the hands met. I wonder why it was
not called a workers convention. My
query was answered by the presence
of an overwhelming majority of farm
ers. Since then a great part of the
farming lands of Missouri have been
watered profusely, yea, even the farm
ers markets have been "watered"; for
the floods were mighty at Kansas City,
ST. Louis and various less important
places. 1t is easy to take it that this
abundance of rainfall was to the first
farmers Convention what an evening

ties and varieties of products yielded
per acre. The thoughts Of all were,
as 1 have said farming and kindred
pursuits"
For the last two months previous,
every one here had been thinking Art
and Artists including painters and
paintings, musicians and musical COM
positions, sculptors and sculpture.
These have been the subjects of the
presidents morning talks for this per-
icl of time. Yes, RapheaI and the
Madonnas; Millet and Angelus; Han
del and the Messiah; Hayden and the
Venus of Milo have been among us.
Some renewed old acquaintances with
them, others met them for the first
time But like a ghost they banished
as the approaching shadows of the
workers" announced their coming
The discussion of most of the sub
jects lave produced, for time at least,
this effect: The city boys and girls
have been enabled to see how they can
live in the country without losing dig
nifty or social rank. And now, with
the aid Of telephones and rural mail
systems, good papers and magazines,
they can build pure cities beneath the
shades of their yard trees and yet be in
touch with the rest of the world.
I copy the following from one Of
the local dailies:

shower is to newly set plants. On
November Z, 1903, the cover of time
one year-was taken off and to those
present there appeared the second
Farmers Convention" with new
branches, and hearty growth.
President Allen harbors the thought
that he who is really a teacher must
suggest to young minds their thought
matter, and that the man who would
lead among the people must father
thought and distribute them among
the people that they may make them
their own. Children will think and
adults must think and he who can fur
nish the things about which they will
and must think is master of minds if
we do not grant that he is a master
mind. This DR.. Allen has done. Those
who believe in the higher education,
those VINO advocate identical education
for all races, those who have never
seen farm except as a distant view
from the window of a fast-fying train,
all alike, were thinking and talking
Farming and kindred pursuits" :"
Students from the same county with
each other and those from the same
state with each other got together, de-
cided on colors for their county, for
their state, (for their are many states
represented here) made banners on
which were inscribed the name of the
county, etc, and yelled yells for their
native heaths." Many had gathered
valuable information as to the quail

Estate Superintendent of Public
Shoots, w. T. Darlington, paid a visit
to Lincoln Institute, the State School
for Colored Youths, Tuesday morning,
and upon his return declared himself
gratifed at the evidence he found
there of the thorough work being done
at the school. He said it was in better
condition than for several years, if not
better than ever before, and that the
faculty and pupils were working har-
noniously together. He expressed par
ticular satisfaction with the progress
department of the school, and gave it
hearty words of encouragement"
What is said of the success of Lin
coin Institute is said of the man who
makes possible such success. What is
said of the farmers convention" of its
mission, of results already obtained, is
said of him who conceived the idea
and materialized it.
A friend drove with me by the
main building in this same campus
on the front thereof-the Phoenix
incident appropos; the old main build
ing was burned and the present mag
nificent one is erected upon the same
spot. When my friend rehearsed the
fact that the Phoenix is the mythical
bird which, when she had served her
time, built funeral pyre, set it ablaze
and was consumed and from the ashes
of the old sprang a young Phoenix
of longer life and greater usefulness,
say when my friend tells me this and
that so has a new Institution sprung
from the ashes of the old; he tells me
that anew man has taken the place OF
the old. New, young, of great power,
greater usefulness. To separate the
history of any event from the biogra-
ply of the man who was the principle
in the history-making is to obliterate
