CHANCE FOR OUR N
Opportunity IS Offered to Win Honor at
the St. Louis Exposition.

Professor H. E. Van Norman, of
the Purdue Agricultural school, who
is superintendent of the dairy exhibit
to be made by Indiana at the coming
st. Louis exposition, has sent out
notice to farmers all over the state
asking that every one desiring to offer
country butter to be placed in the ex-
hibit shall send In one pound packages
of butter to him at once
The purpose of this is to assist pros
pective exhibitors to bring their prod
uct up to the highest standard OF ex-
cellence. AS fast as the packages are
sent in the butter is scored by an ex-
pert and the score. together with any
criticism or suggestions for bettering
the product will be returned to the
maker free of expense.
Prospective exhibitors are asked to
send in their packages of butter at
once SO that there will be ample time
for Analysing all the samples and for
all the farmers to take advantage OF
the suggestions that may be made IN
preparing a new supply. The butter
is scored 10 the same manner that will
be followed at the exposition, and by
submitting their product to Professor
Van Norman first the makers will
have a chance to know about what
rank they can hope to take at St.
Louis. The packages should be sent
by express, charges prepaid, with the
name and postofice address OF the
maker plainly marked.

The movement in the MarylSnd
legislature to abolish negro suffrage
the St. Louis Globe Democrat thinks,
may be fraught with far-reaching con-
sequences. Its view is: 1.-The Mary
land anti-negro propaganda has an
importance as a symptom. 1t means
that German and the est Of the zeal
OTIS from his section are likely to be
strong enough to put a negro eface.
ment plank in the st. Louis platform.
Such a folly would destroy the faint,
the very faint, chance which the DEM
ocrats have Of carrying any Northern
or Western state in 1904"

The Atlanta Constitution is con-

is being done by the only live politi-
cal organization the country has, the
republican party. Last Monday it had
this to say about.a measure inaugural

mo one who is in touch with the
rural life of the nation will be ready
to DENY that the free delivery mail
service inaugufated a few years ago in
the rural districts Of every state in the
union has proven an unqualified sue
cess. The system, is as yet, incooate
and imperfect, it is true, but the
farmers OF the country have seer
enough Of it to feel that it is indis-
pensable, and every effort of congress
now and In the future should be In
the direction of extending the SER
vice and increasing its ef]ciency.

Walked from Bowling Green. KY.

Jacksonville, Ind, March u. -
John A. Wyatt, his wife and two chill
dren, boy and girl. have arrived here,
~footsore, cold and hungry. Wyatt was
harnessed like a horse and hitched to
a canvas-covered, two wheeled cart,
which he pulled through the streets.
His wife and children were following
along behind on foot. The mothers
face was pinched with hunger, and the
children were so weak they could hard
ly walk.
Wyatt stated that the family left
Bowling Green, Ky, the latter part
of January, and had been On the road
ever since. He said That he was in
search of work and would continue
his journey until he found il. I'VE

What Ais the Churches?

eff a young man goes to church In
this generation, it is because he
knows bis best girl is there, - said the
Rev. Russell H. Conwell OF Philadel-
phia to the Baptist Union. "The
church is dying Though the indiffer-
ence of pastors and congregations"
Probably the Rev. Mr.. Conwell is a
bit overweight.
A great many young men attend
Plymouth church in Brooklyn. Most
OF them, if they have best girls at all,
haye left them behind in their West
elm. Northern or Southern homes.
The young men go to hear DR.. Hill
lis preach. They know he has a mes
sage to them, and that be is we'll able
to convey it.
They know that, while he broadens
their views of Christianity, he broad
ems their views Of humanity and Of
the world in which humanity is being
developed into higher form.
There is moral, mental and even
physical education in the sermons of
preachers qualified to preach, and who
do preach, out of the fulness of their
great hearts. They mov men, young
and old, and fill them with religious
ardor.
Mr.. Moody never preached to empty
pews. Sam Jones fills large auditor
iumS.
"Ain't you afraid your bishop will
sit on you sometime, brother Jones?"
an old lady asked after q of those
vivid and picturesque sermons that
were alive with the preacher S indiYid-
uality.
"Sit on mel" he replied. "You
can t sit on a lightning express train
going seventy miles an hour!"
The preachers young men like to
hear are afraid of nothing. Not even
rich pew holders.

SECRETARY snAw's GOOD ADVICE
Tells Students to Work for What Merit
There IS in the Work.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, in
a recent address to students, admir-
ably eptitomized an important secret
to success.
"If you will take my advice" he
said, '.you will never work for hire.
II you work for hire you will never
rise. II you work for hire, life will
have little else for you but drudgery,
and eight hours per day-ten hours
per day at most-is all that you can
stand and keep your health.
"But il you work for the accom-
plishment of the thing you are en-
ployed to do, you a work 16 or Is
hours a day, and life will be full of
sunshine and song. God implanted
in the human mind the desire to do
things"
In other words, real success lies not
SO much in what we can geto u of our
work as what we can putinto 1T.
If we love our work we have taken
a long stride o only toward happi-
ness but toward accomplishment that
is worth while.
The man who gets no more u of
his work than mere support, though
he nav be enabled to live iD most iay-
ish style, is no more than an animal.
The hog works only for a living,
and that is all he gets or cares for.
But man, with his emotions, sensi-
bilitieS and Inspirations. requires
more.
With man work is not merely a
means but an end. He must work
that he may live, but he also lives
that he may work.
1t is a melancholy fact that mil
lions. of men are forced to devote
nearly all of their lives to sustaining
life. 1t seems a slavery. Yet the
drudgery is due, not to the ~inceSsant
work, but to the dislike of it,. While
one man bitterly lamentS the cruelty
OF his fate, another working at his ell
bow finds his labors sweet. The diff
ference lies within the men.
The immortal things in this world
have been wrought for the things
themselves With the most of us sat-
~isfaction is found i'm the things we do
rather than in the great rewards or
in the plaudits of the world.
Usually a large measure of the sue
cess which. in the popular conception
means wealth oil public honors, fol-
lows as the result Of devotion to the
appointed duty.
Certain it is that there is small hope
for the ucces Or happiness of the
mar who does not find his work co.,
genial and a pleasure in itself.
Aside from moral and correct living
and the love OF wife, family and kim
dred, there is nothing in which a ra-
tional man should have more real
heart interest than his work.
