A Delicious Time,

A Trout Run maiden, who passed
several days at the Worlds Fair, wrote
the following description of her visit to
the home pastor, we are told: "Oh
had perfectley beautifell time. l
contrived there at $3.50 and took cab
by to the hotel. 1t was converted you
know? We stopped at a house where
we rode to our room in refrigerator,
and our rooms were illustrated with
electric lights. There was no stove in
our rooms, but one of them Il. lslatures

up through. | did not have any appe-
tite and could not get single thing 1

Pennsylvania State College.

At recent meeting, the Advisory
Committee of the Station approved a
plan presented by the Director for an
experiment upon the necessary protein
supply of the dairy herd. The herd is
to be divided into two lots as nearly
alike as practicable on the basis of their
records. One of these lots is to be fed
a ration which, it is computed, will sup
ply, in addition to the protein required
for the maintenance of the body, an
amount approximately equal to that
which they may be expected to produce
in their milk. The other lot will receive
ration made up of the same feeds, but
in different proportion, so as to contain
about twice as much protein. In addi-
ton to the regular herd records of milk
will be taken for check determinations
of protein The experiment will be
continued through the winter.
The Committee also authorized a
continuation of the experiments which
have been conducted for the past two
years upon the influence of shelter up
on the food consumption and gains of
fattening cattle.

gagement with the Station as Special

There were only three who bore rare
gifts to the babe in His manger-bed,
and there was no one else to offer more
than the plainest things and the hum
blest service.
Yet the radient halo was for all alike
to see. as they knelt and wondered and
worshiped. The plainest things of life
were then and there glorified, and may
we not use them now, in the name of
the holy Child and for His sake?
We would dearly love to choose
beautiful and really valuable gifts for
our friends, but slender purses forbid.
Time, too, is hard to find in this crowd
ing modern life, and, in the case of
some of us who are not strong, each
day brings the question of what we
may do and what must be left out.
But as love-bearers, forgetting our
selves, and thinking only of the gift we
carry, our hands may be filled with
treasure. Loves alchemy will trans
mute the things of trif1ing value into
precious gold.
A book that we have treasured may
be passed on; a bit of our needlework
is witness to our loving thought, wheth-
er it is a dainty thing for a friend or
only useful little garment for the
poor washerwoman's baby. A glass of
that clear jelly will do twice as much
good if we carry it ourselves and give
something of our own good cheer and
vitality with it. True, such visits leave
US feeling that ''virtue has gone out of
u.s." but if strength does 60 for time
it is also marvelously renewed.
A loving word out of our very hearts
may touch that headstrong boy or a
letter comfort some one who has seen
the grave close over her best beloved,
while life looms up before her like a
sheer wall of rock.
Every day brings its own apportun-
ity, if only for smile that wins the
little child's heart, or a CHEEKY good
morning that makes the day sunshiny
for the household.
Still the star in the east is shining
the star oflove. Let us follow it gladly,
bearing our gifts. They may be so
little that they hardly seem worth
bringing, yet when the Christ-child
came to His manhood the cup of cold
water was not beneath His mention
and His blessing.
So with loving ministries we may
keep the Christmas spirit, not only
when the days are shortest and the
Yule log burns, but all the year round.

OUR TWENTIETH VOLUME.

With this issue the Enterprise en-
tiers its Goth volume. Eighteen years
ago, Mr.. J. B. Lawton issued the first
number of the Enterprise. He brought
to the work youth, energy, enthusi-
asm, and the most sterling integrity
these qualities, coupled with prac-
tical knowledge of the printing bust
ness made the Enterprise a success
from the start. The Enterprise for
eighteen years under Mr. Lawton was
the leading paper of the Parish and
had much to do in moulding public
opinion on all the important topics
which arose during that time Its
pungent and terse editorials were
quoted by the entire press of the
State. 1t always, has been, and still
is, the mouthpiece of Democracy and
did valiant service in it's cause.

strong in Illinois, in view of the
fact that "practical politicians
with private schemes were afraid
to take the convention to Chicago,
fearing that the Inhabitants Of the
city would stampede the convention
for Hearst.
Hearst is loyal Democrat. He
has given the party loyal support
through both Bryan campaigns,
although he is not an advocate of
free silver. He is not a factional
candidate. His interests are
legitimate business interests. He
represents legitimate American
progress and prosperity-with good
wages for those who work and big
rewards for those who have brains
and executive ability.
He belives that the creation of
wealth is not more important
than the distribution of wealth
and the promotion of prosperity.
For that reason, and also because
he has sense of justice, he fights
the trusts and all tendencies to
concentration of wealth through
criminal monopoly.
Mr.. Hearst believes that univer-
sal prosperity is dependent upon
the purchasing power Of the masses
and upon the projections of those
that are industrious aud frugal.
If he is elected President of the
United States, it will be a bad day
for promoters of national gst-rich-
quick schemes.
1t will be good day for all Of
those who interests and wishes the
prosperous development of the
entire nation on Democratic lines.

BOOKER WASHINGTON TELLS or
HORRORS OF BURNING.

The Age-Herald Tomorrow will
publish the following letter from
Booker I. Washington:
"Within the last fortnight three
members of my race have been
burned at the stake Of these one
was a woman. Not one of the
three was charged with any crime
even remotely connected with the
abuse of white woman. In every
case murder was the sole accusa-
ton. All or these" burnings took
place III broad daylight, and two of
them occurred on Sunday afternoon
in sight Of a Christian church.

so common as scarcely to excite in

| have always been among those
who condemned in the strongest
terms crimes of whatever character
committed by members of my race,
and | condemn them now with
equal severity; but | maintain that
the only protection of our civiliza-
ton is a fair and calm trial of all
people charged with crime, and in
their legal punishment if proved
guilty. There is no shadow of ex-
cuse from legal methods in the
cases of individuals accused of
murder. The laws ares as a rule
made by the white people, and their
execution is by the hands of the
white people; so that. there is little
probability of any guilty colored
man escaping.
"These burnings without trial
are in the deepest..sense unjust to
my race but it is not this injustice
alone which stirs my heart. These
barbarous scenes, followed as they
are by the publication of the shock
ing details, are more disgraceful
and degrading to the people who
intlict the punishment than those
who receive it.
