It was suggest ed that he might have been less mel ancholy if he had the opportunities of recreation and diversion in the fields which a liberal education would have opened to him. But the consensus was that there might also have been dangerous abatement of native force and originality.

 Twenty-six hundred years have passed since Amos reduced his sayings to writing. But the principles which underlte his splendid book are philoso- phic and fundamental. They are uni versally and perpetually applicable, Among them are these: Oppression and luxury will destroy any people. Righteousness only will exalt.

 Tn its pathetic perversity isn't 1t the overheard cry of the human bearing witness to the well-nigh futility of Heavens best planned pleasures for man? If you pivot your story on a man strike out In a few of your strong strokes a hero gifted beyond the ken of most men. and throw across his path the unusual woman-the woman who can comprehend him in all his moods and phases, then against the high, white light of his love for her paint the story of his struggle against the ascendancy of the things that are, flashing across the gloom of it the fitful flares of mans inborn horror of ridicule his abject terror of doing the unusual: and sink him at last to the sullen commonplace of the tangi- ble.

 Madison had been staring steadily at the poem from under bent brows. when DalSy made an end he pulled out, and showed toward her without speaking. the editors instructions: You will understand that we want something with a touch of today in it.: natural and real"
 There Is no touch of today In what you have been saying" he grumbled Nothing natural. nothing real"
 And instead of being exasperated by his disgruntled ingratitude, Daisy only replied in tone of thoughtful convic- tion:
 Well yes. there are several touches" and lay back in her chair contentedly studying the contrasting shades of the blue blotter on the green baise while Madison sulked because the subtle an alogies of her sharpened perception were but as blurs to his Jagged out faculties.
 You have been plotting the thing to pivot on woman" he broke out frac- tiously. "A man has no such horror of the unusual as you imagine. In the nat ural sequence of things he would mar ry the woman he loved and let the wid- ow and her proper mourning go to the bow-wows. It is only the weak that fear criticism"

judgment are practically supplanted. He Is moved like an automaton. A verse in St. James's Epistle turns a strong light upon the prophetic office and corrects our misapprehension Elijah was n man of like nature as we are" So every prophet in and out of his special function is a perfectly normal character. No prophet must be taken out of the category of the normal. St. James affirms that the prophets feelings and emotions are just such as ours would be under sim liar circumstances.

Amos is thought to have been tho nrst to reduce his prophecies to writ ing. In the solitude of Tekoa he ad- dressed himself to the task. Here hs probably composed the grand Messi- anic epilogue." Traces of the oriri- nal, oral delivery, however, show themselves in spite of the elaborate literary finish. Chief among them are the abrupt, short clauses.

CORNER
Has Advanced Burlsy Prices
From SO to So Per Hundred.

Last week was the most eventful
week in years in she Louisville to-
bacco market. Present visible re-
suits show higher range of prices
for low and medium grade Burley
tooaccos than have obtained in the
past seventeen years. There is no
longer any question but what the
Continental Tobacco Company has
succeeded in concerning the market
on Burley. Ip the past ten days
it's agents have purchased millions
of pounds at prices that would or
dinarily seem exorbitant, taking all
that could he obtained from the
farmers and dealers direct, and in
addition 80per cent. Of the offerings
in Louisville and in Cincinnati.
What the independent factories
will do for supplies to run them any
great length of time is a question
that must be answered. That they
are manifestly uneasy is shown by
the eagerness of their buyers to OBJ
tain tobacco suitable for their pur
poses at almost ann price. The
buyer for the w. r. Mcdonald fac
tory paid April 9Th $40 and $l1 per
hundred for Burley tobacco which
he would not touch four weeks ago
around SIS so.
The percentage of reflections,
amounted to only per cent. last
week out of total offerings OF l, 125
hogsheads. This is the smallest
percentage in months. Indications
all point to still higher prices, the
trust having secured most of the
available supply.

The GOOD OLD DAYs"-NOl

Hoard's Dairyman; Go anywhere in
Wisconsin and mark the rich farms,
the great barns and stables. the sil0s and
buildings all devoted to the COW. What
has changed this state over from the
low condition of SO years ago to the
condition that exists now? We answer
brain work
In Madison, Wisconsin has Dairy
school of $50 students, a Short Course Of
800, four year course of 80 students.
But this is not all. 1t has inst closed q
farmers course Of two weeks where moi
a man in attendance was less than 2;
years of age and some were % and the.
were regularly registered over one hun
bred and seventy of them. Look ut thii
picture of mental interest in the stndy
of agriculture; this arousing of the MIND
and thought Of the farmers, and com
pare it with the almost total blanl
apathy that existed a third of a century

oER srATR coNYENrIor.

Metropolitan state central commit
tee met in Madison, on Thursday last,
and decided, by a vote of seventeen to
three, to hold one convention for the
nomination of a state ticket and to elect
four delegates to represent the party in
the National convention for nomination
Of president and vice-president. The
date has not been fully determined, but
it will be not later than May 49, and
Madison will be the place. There is
some objection by the stalwart, or cor
poration wing Of the party, because two
cor vertions "a not held. But this
might be expected. The more conven-
tons TO wear out the patience and take
the time of busy republicans the better
IL pleaseg the men who make politics
tusine4s. While it is an innovation,
the.e is no good reason why one state
convention cannot do up the party work
in the state for the year. There is like
ly to be but one contest for a state Office;
all officials below She head Of the ticket
are serving their first terms, and will
doubtless be renominated without oppo-
sition. Republicans win know as we'll by
May as they possibly could two months
later, whom they want for their nomi-
nee for governor. The corporations and
their managers have been campaigning
for year and they are now as well pre-
pared as ever to 81 20 final battle, to de-
termine whether Insir united selfish ln-
terests will succeed against the common
interest. For that's exactly what the
political battle means IN Wisconsin this
year.
The stslvyart pretense of a desire to
keep state and national issues separate,
does not hold good. There Is no OPT
position in Wisconsin to, the renomi-
nation of President Roosevelt, and the
delegates selected can in no manner be
embarrassed by ENHANCEMENT with
state affairs BY rule, delegates to the
National convention must be chosen
at least thirty days prior to that
gathering Then how useless to hold
a second state convention within six or
eight weeks.
The people of Wisconsin, and es-
pecially the Third congressional dis
stict will have quite enough of poll
tics before the campaign closes with
out being dragged through two state
convention contests. The one conven-
tion proposition viii be quite as popular
w. he masses as 1t was with the re-
publican state central committee,
which decided the matter seventeen to
three. All republicans who Rave any
thing else to do except work politics,
will heartily thank that committee
for their consideration of the 'greetest
good to the greatest number.

TIE PEOPLE ARE SUPREME.

Petitions are being daily sent in to
Madison from all parts of the state ask
ing Governor La Toilette to stand for
denomination The general tone of the
petitions are as follows: I'VE favor the
denomination of Robert NJ La Toilette
for Governor of Wisconsin and desire
his reelection for tie reason that we
believe the people Of Shis state ought to
be permitted the privilege of primary
election law, the benefits of a uniform
taxation law and the protection Of a
board OF railroad rate commissioners. -
If the people want I'd csc laws we believe
it 10 be good policy to elect such men as
have shown themselves earnestly inter
esred in their adoption -Hillsboro Sen
try
Although no special effort has been
made to secure signatures, iG is estimat-
ed that more than two thousand Vernon
county republicans have already, by
written signature, requested Governor
La Toilette to stand for denomination.
If he shall determine to comply with
the appeal Of his fellow republicans
made from every quarter of the state,
there is no doubt that Vernon county
republicans viii be Overwhelmingly for
him, they have been in the past.
