Mommsen's "Ro,aan history"

Some one has well said that but for
the Roman History" Mommsen would
be great man taken Oh faith" That
ts probably true, but we have the "Ro-
man History" perhaps the most re-
markable piece Of German literature
written In the middle of the nine
teenth century. 1t is wonderful tes-
timOny to the power Of humanity over
humanity that the most human work
which Mommsen wrote should be the
most popular. The Roman History
was the expression Of the whole man,
and II ever 1t should cease to have
value as Roman history 1t will never
cease to be of value as spiritual doc
ument, as IL picture Of the hopes and
ideals Of Theodor Mommsen. BY q
happy chance when the book was
brought into the world 1t appeared in
the naked simplicity Of its narrative
without the swaddling clothes Of foot
notes and sources. The clear cut style
showed forth to It's best advantage.
The world ut large took Its statements
as faith. Scholars were at liberty to
test them In other books Of Mommsen
himself or Of other men.-Professor
Jesse r. Carter In Atlantic.

Spring Work in the Fruit Garden.

The first warm days of spring are just
the time to trim your raspberry bushes
and get out the old wood. You will
find it so much pleasanter, too, to be
able to pick the fruit without tearing
your clothes and the bushes to pieces.
A handy method of tying up the canes
is to drive a few stout posts along in
the rows and string wire along and tie
the canes fast to the wire.
Currant bushes should have a lot OF
the old wood cut out each year to keep
them in vigorous condition and so pro-
duce large fruit.
The fruit trees need little care if
they are to pay for the ground they
cover Just as much as your live stock
or your farm crops.
Almost all fruit trees tend to grow
too dense in our rich western soil.
Trim lot of the branches out and in
some cases cut back severely and you
NAV be able to get lot of fruit where
you got only fine showing of leaves
before.
Look over your catalogues and see ii
little money spent on some new trees,
bushes and vines won't look like a lot OF
pleasure for the future.-New England
Farmer.

sight of Barney and replied quickly:
"There's Barney Mcdonald. Why not
give him chance? He used to be able
to turn them fast enough"
The conductor glanced in Barney's
direction. Its worth try" he said.
1t took but a moment to call Barney
to the engine The conductor hurriedly
explained the situation, winding up by
saying: Now. get up here and take the
train in. I'll he responsible for every
thing. but I'll guarantee that you never
heed worry if you only get there on
time"
Barney's railroad training came to
the front ON the instant. He knew
there was no time for haggling or ex-
PLANTATION. He merely said. "All right;
I'll do it," and swung himself up into
the cab. A gleam Of his old time spirit
came to his eye as his feet touched the
deck, and it was with almost childish
eagerness that he picked up an oil can.
jumped down and began to "oil round"
He hurried from one side to the other,
feeling her boxes, touching up Der
links. dropping u splash or two on her
guides, and in an instant was back In
the cab, and they were started.
"She's bird" he remarked to him.
self as they began to leave the town
behind them, land brand new. Her
drivers must be at least seven feet
high, and that tank holds over 4.OOO
gallons. We've lost twelve minutes.
he continued as he hooked her up a
notch and gave her little more steam,
"but unless I'm mistaken this Is just
the sort of a mill that will make 1t up.
We've got coal enough, and we've only
got one stop to make for water. It's
good seventy miles. but an hour and a
half ought to get us there easy"
That he had forgotten nothing OF his
former skill was soon evident from the
way the train was handled. He knew
every foot of the road from one end OF
the division to the other. and as each
familiar landmark was reached and
passed his every move clearly Showed
that he was still the Barney of old.
The curves were approached with just
enough caution to keep her inside the
limit; the holows were gauged to q
nicely: she was held up at just the
proper instant OF the falls and dropped
| to her place ut the right spot OH the
hills until her speed became something
terrific. The fences seemed to be van.

A Benutiful Art.

Without disparagement Of any of the
other arts, to attain proficiency H.
which people make such long and val
liant struggles, It may be truly said
that the one art of smiling warns more
hearts than all others together. Most
children-in fact, all happy children
have an unconscious mastery of This
beautiful art, but unfortunately they
often lose it as they grow older. Chill
dren are the best judges Of smiles In
the world. Her lips smile said a
child, speaking Of Il hard faced woman,
"but she doesn't" A widening Of the
mouth in vain endeavor to look pleas
ant is not smile. 1t deceives nobody.
A smile, to be worthy Of the name,
must come from the heart 1t is the
result OF an honest willingness and
readiness to be pleased with little as
well rs great things.

Macon, July 15.-That gentle human

Pathfnders into the dim baseball be-
yond and stacked up another victory
to-day by a score of to 8.
Savannah got in bad early in the
day. and the evil influence caused
everybody on the team to balk. They
left the hotel at 2:3O p. m, ordinary
time in bus drawn by two horses,
one of which was formerly used to
drag cars through the streets of the
Central City, and since it was dis
charged for that mental capacity it
has risen in the world, and is now
handling ball players. This veteran nag
is blind, having lost it's eyesght some
fifteen years ago in a collision with
another hayburner on Fourth street
With the Pathfnders slowed in the
bus the blind horse stuck on the CEN
ter in front of the postoffice. A pass
ing automobilist, from force of habit.
started to crawl under the horse with
a monkey wrench. but the driver said
it didn't need repairs. One team aided
the other. The Pathfinders got out
and pushed, hauled and showed while
the gay Mulberry street throng cheer
ed them on.
Still the horse baked and would
have been hanging back at this mo-
ment had not King Kel strayed in
front of it to yank at the bride.
Kels brilliant and peculiar style of
beauty pierced the sightless orbs,
which resembled poached eggs. and for
the first time in fifteen years the ami
nal was able to see. 1t must have
been something it didn't like, for it
lifted the blockade on Mulberry street,
and built a new record to the ball
park.
If the blind horse didn't balk the Sa-
vannah athletes the presence of Brin-
die Bayne. in a new pair of pants. did.
Everything was in a trance until the
seventh, when two or three mistakes
were made. and with one or two other
troubles, three kicked the joy gum
tieing matters W. But no one had
hopes that this lucky bunch in Ma
con would not be able to pinch out
that one winning run, and they sue
ceeded. The score:
