How little it costs if we give it a thought,
To make happy some heart each day:
Just one kind word or a tender smile,
AS we go on our daily way;
Perchance a look will suffice to clear
The cloud from a loved ones face;
And the press of a hand in sympathy
A sorrowful tear eface.

All weary in the shade;

EGYPTIAN TO STUDY
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
They Have One, but Farmers
Need Better to Support
-Four Wives.

Denver, Aug. 2S.-In the near fu-
ture this state is to be yisited and its
system OF irrigation examined by
Abd-El.Hamid Abszs Bey, the Egyp-
tian governments representative at
the Worlds Fair, and Gen. Pierris,
who is at st. Louis in q similar ca
pacity for Ceylon.
Abaza Bey belongs to the young
and progressive class OF Egypt and is
one of the richest land owners Of that
country. He is especially interested
in the agricultural development OF
Egypt, while he is in this country
will collect products that grow In
soil similar to land Of his own, where
he will transplant them.
Although Egypt has one OF the
most complete systems OF irrigation
| In the world, and. its people have
adapted themselves to the peculiar
conditions which exist there, Abaza
| Bey and Gen, Pierris hope to learn
much additional that can be put to
practical value in the visits they
make through the semi.arid districts
OF America.
There are thousands of farmers In
Egypt who live on as small an area
OF land as four acres. and thus sup
ports often IA very large family, es
pecially where the farmer marries bis
legal allowance OF wives. He may
have as many as tour. and this
makes the financial support more
serious than most men would care tt
undertake.
However the class Of people wht
