d. P. Christensen said that owing to
the fact that the board of trade meet.
ings were open, many things had gotten
out that would better have been kept on
the quiet for while.
H. P. Jensen, who was presiding in the
absence of President j. B. Richards
thought it would be all right to admit
reporters if only "safety-valve" could
be put on them.
Hans Jorgensen was afraid that some
times the reporters might find the at.
tendance small and come out in the pa.
per and say that there was very small
meeting and thus belittle the importance
of the body in the eyes of the people.
j. B. Ogle remarked that the reporters
were eligible as far as the bylaws stat.
ed. Applicants for membership had to
be approved by the membership commit
tee, however. No action was taken on
the matter. The general consensus OF
opinion seemed to be that the associa.
ton would be glad to have the reporters
in if they would only "be good"
For the benefit of few new members
the new system of keeping tab on dan
gerous debtors was explained. No lists
are henceforth to be printed. Those
members who want these lists can get
them at the secretary's office at Is
cents per carbon copy. The new names
can be gotten at the meetings by those
who care to see them OF write them
down.
The old printed lists now rented out
to various members at 25 cents per
month from local attorney could be re-
turned to this attorney and thus further
liability for the payment of the rent
obviated.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Companionship can only afford hap
piness by mutual soul adaptation.
1t is not success, but obedience, that
is the measure and conditions of a
mans joy.-Rev. James Millar.
1t is possible to find in the world
true-hearted and faithful dealing be.
tween man and man. To doubt this is
to doubt the divine in life. Faith in
man is essential to faith in God.
Without thought, grave, deliberate
self conscious thought, life will run
shallow in every channel. Every &C
tive duty needs to build foundations
downward through habits of quiet
thOught.-Selected.
| believe in the sacredness of the
htilnan body, this transient dwelling
place of living SOUL and so | deem
it the duty of every man and woman
to keep his or her body beautiful
through right thinking and right liv-
ing.-P. Gerhardt.
Never give way to melancholy. Moth
ing encroaches more. l fight against
it vigorously. One great remedy is
to take short views of life; for every
substantial grief has 20 shadows, and
most of them shadows of your own
making Sidney Smith.
Most lives are thronged with ankle
ties. But there is a spirit that is not
overcome of these things, but bears
with them in the high thought of be-
ing in fellowship with God; for, if we
have to endure evils, God bears with
their existence too.-William Mount

THE MADONNA WITH THE DIADEM.

founo it expedlent to engraft upon the
new faith some of the customs and
practices of the old. Thus, long before
the Christian era "the babe in the man.
ger" was a symbol of the birth of the
new year, and was part of the Satur-
MALTA, or festival of Saturn, the mad
dest and most riotiously merry of pa
gan feasts. The decorations of our
houses with evers4 eens and mistletoes
comes from the rites of the ancient
Druids. who yearly cut the milky-ber
ried parasite from the trees with silver
knives and much ceremonial. The Dru-
Ids were not pagans, as the Romans
were; they believed in God, in future
life, in rewards and punishments for
good and evil doing. but their faith
was crude and cruel.
The giving of gifts, the feastings,
and the benefactions to the poor which
.characterize the great Christian holt

festival of the pagans, and were graft

WILL PRESERVE FOOD LONG.
New Method That Promises to Give

New Method That Promises to Give
the Best Results.
An ingenious method of preserving
food has recently been devised which
Is based on the fact that powdered
gelatin, or thin sheets of the same
material, not only do not spoil, but
are capable of protecting incorporated
substances from bacteria, moisture,
and other agencies which bring about
decomposition. Thus to make con-
centrated beef extract, tea or coffee,
extract, soup, ETC., the LIQUID is mixed
hot with 1 per cent of primary gela-
tin, which differs from the commercial
article in not having the gluelike taste
of the latter.
After cooling jelly is formed, and
this is cut into thin films and dried by
a current of cold air until it becomes
brittle. When this condition is reach
ed the sheets are then reduced to a
fine powder, which will keep indefn-
itely. While it will absorb moisture
it does not do SO to a degree to oc-
casion decomposition, and the moist
ure is subsequently given off in dry
air. The powder, while likely to cake,
forms a brittle cake, not interfering
with its use, while it is too hard for
insects. When placed in warm water
it dissolves Immediately, and is thus
ready for use. If heated above the
temperature of boiling water before
packing all disease or other germs
will be killed, and to secure the best
results the powder should be packed
alright. Such a concentrated food
possesses many advantages, and is
susceptible of wide application, as
upon orations.-Harper's Weekly

SELLING A FARM.
The Trick BY Which corrlgan Goa
His Own Price.

The Trick BY Wnich NoTrl9ah 1o~
His Own Price.
There are many ways of bringing
a hesitating buyer up to the mark
said Lawyer John E. Kehoe; "but the
way my friend and client, Tom Cor
rigan of Du Page county, managed TO
sell his farm was about as unique az
any.
tom was tired of farming in that
particular section. He wanted to sell
and get out, and his neighbor, Silss
Barker. whose farm lay across the
road from him, wanted just as badly
to buy and get in. But Silas was
great hand at bargain, and he kept
waiting for Tom to come down to
price that would please him. This
Tom was not inclined to do. The pair
occasionally met and casually referred
to the matter, one trying to conceal
that he was anxious to sell and the
other that he was burning to buy, but
they never seemed to come any nearer
an agreement.
"'Well, Mr. Barker said Tom at
length, L think I've good buyer
in view now for this farm of mine.
Still, you being a neighbor, I'm willing
to give you the preference
whats your price today?' asked
Silas.
"It's $500 more than it was last
time replied Tom.
Il guess not said Barker
Next day Silas saw Tom conduct
ing a Roman Catholic priest over the
farm as if showing him its various
points and advantages. On inquiry he
got a whisper from a friend Of Toms
that the latter was negotiating with
Father Madigan, who wanted the place
for cemetery.
For cemetery! Right at his door.
too! A cemetery, with hearSes and
carriages full of mourners, unloading

and bristling, rows of tomDstones to
look out upon every night. This would
be a sad upset to his cherished dream
of amalgamating the two farms and
owning one of the finest pieces Of
land in Du Page county.
Every soon he sought out Tom Cor
rigan. Is it true that you're going to
sell your farm to a priest?'
"'That's my own business, Mr..
Barker said Tom.
"And is it true that it's going to bs

Faith, then, it's little 1 know or

of it, 90 long as l get good price for
it,
"'Tom Corrigan, what's the price Of
your farm today?'
".H's $1,000 more than it was yester
day. answered Tom.
"'Well, them said Barker, I'll take
it at that price,
"And he took it. Now, the priest
had no notion of booming Corrigan's
real estate with his innocent visit, so
he Was angry. But he was not SO
thoroughly disguised as was Silas
Barker when the latter discovered the
trick by which corrigan had got his
own price for his farm. Chicago
