Carried Samples,

During a meeting Of the Louisville
presbytery a delegate told this story
of pioneer days and vouched for its
accuracy: One Of the circuit riders in
my part Of the state was extremely
fond of pepper sauce, and as he could
seldom find any strong enough at
places where he stopped he always
carried bottle with him. He happen
ed to be at hotel one night, though
he usually stopped at the home Of a
friend. A man sat across the table
from him and, seeing the sauce, ask
ed if the minister would share it with
him. The request was granted, and
the stranger poured out a liberal al
lowance of the sauce into his soup.
At the first swallow he made a wry
face and blurted out, minister, do you
preach hadesW Eyes, brother" was
the reply. why do you ask?' BE
cause you are the first preacher 1 ever
saw who carried samples" was the
answer

rHE NITROGEN BACTERIA.
Getting Them into the Land-Sweet
Clover Soil Lnoculates Alfalfa.

Getting Them into the Land-Sweet
Clover Soil EnocUlates Alfalfa.
The home Of the nitrogen gathering
bacteria is the tubercle upon the roots
of various leguminous plants, and there
is one kind of bacteria for red clover,
another for coWpeas and another for
alfalfa, and SO on.
Many Of the older farmers of Illinois
have stated to DR.. G. G.. Hopkins of the
experiment station of the state that
when this country was very new it was
commonly found difficult to get
"catch" of clover on new land After
a good catch was once got then it
was easier to get clover to grow on that
land the next time. There was a say
ing among the farmers that clover
would not do we'll until they got the
wild nature" out of the land Their
final success was undoubtedly due not
to getting anything out of the land,
but rather to getting the bacteria into
the land.
In discussing the nitrogen bacteria in
connection with various Iegumes on IL
linOis soil DR.. Hopkins has said:
On one of the soil experiment fields
on the university farm at Urbana
where soy beans have been grown for
three years no tubercles could be
found on the plants either the first or
second year, and only an occasional
plant with tubSrcles could be found
the third year. In 1902 a series of
plots, some of which had been treated
in different ways with applications Of
limestone, phosphorus and potassium.
were seeded with soy beans. No tuber-
cles could be found at any time during
the season on the soy beans growing
Oh any of the different plots. In 1903
the same plots were again seeded to
soy beans, and at the same time part
of each plot was inOcuIated with in
fected soy bean soil drilled in with the
seed at the rate of about 500 pounds of
infected soil to the acre. When the
plants were only q few weeks Old tu-
bercles were to be found upon many
plants growing where the infected soil
had been applied, and before the close

along with his. Give me two weeks,
then send for him and talk things over
and decide"
The two weeks were blissful ones
for both, but Margaret could not de-
termine how great a share Of the joy
giving was Jacks. They trudged con-
tentedly along the dusty roads togeth
Ell, picked berries, stole apples and
waded streams. They logged gayly be-
hind old Don, Jacks raw bOned deliv-
cry horse, and were as satisfied as
though he were a thoroughbred.
Then she sent for Walter Antler and
waited in Strange INDIGESTION for him to
come She wrote him frankly of her
desire for the country, her uncertainty
as to her feelings for him and told him
about Jack.
81 don't think [ understand" he said
uncertainty, standing tall and immacu-
late beside Margaret the evening of
his arrival. His handsome, keen eyes
smiled good humoredly into the girls
perturbed face. "You say if l will live
in the country you will consider my
proposal U-h-ml l would lose my

and pretty, yes, but tive % $ Of it

to her earnestly. "The city will seem
different with a home of your own and
plenty Of servants and theaters and
concerts. Inside of a year you'll say
the city's the only place on earth to
live, Really, my darling, you can't
mean this talk about the country. It's
rank nonsense"
Just then Jack swung lightly out of
his buggy and ran up the walk. He
did not know Antler had come. The
two men eyed each other for mo-
ment tensely. Then Margaret intro
duced them.
She looked full into Jacks tanned,
earnest face, then turned slowly to
Antler's clean cut, virile features. The
men breathed deeply. Each knew that
the woman he loved was deciding for
or against him. Margaret herself did
not realize what she was doing. She
broke the rasping silence with low:
81 can't so driving this evening, Jack.
Come tomorrow evening. I'll so then"
you've decided against me-" Antler
said, a strange lump in his throat, as
Jack drove away. "You-you love
him!"
yes" she answered gently. "He
loves the life l do. You and I are
so far apart on things. It's the out
wardness of each other you and l love.

thing that comes from within. l

You would not-even then" he
asked eagerly. She was very lovely,
and he thought he loved her enough
for the sacrifice She smiled in Won
drous sympathy. for had she not meas
ured love that way herself?

said softly. He and l can be friends
and comrades as we'll as husband and

MeissOnier admitted that he would
not have made a good pOrtraitist by
profession, for with few exceptions he
had succeeded only with sitters whom
he liked and knew we'll. He was not
satisfied with painting things as he saw
them: he had to understand how they
came to have such or such an appear
ance. Though he claimed to remember
every drawing that he had ever made,
he also claimed that he did not reduce
his knowledge to general formulate.
Before nature, l know nothing in adj
vance'-not even, it appears, what size
he was going to make his picture or
how much he was going to include in
it. This is the reason that many Of his
drawings and some of his paintings
have been extended in one direction or
another by bands of paper or canvas
glued on. Meissonier had strong dra-
matte imagination and an uncommon
sense of harmony, yet they were both
occasionally smothered by this devo-
ton to literal fact.

The round faced daisies, not the boys
pleading eyes, held her gaze, yet she

the daisies a moment against the Grim

She leaned her fair face to the roses
and breathed deeply. 1t was so sweet
to know that she was all in all to the
winning, successful man. Her eyes
fell to the daisies. and with a sudden
suffocation she opened the window.

asked courteously of the plain, mid

her away from her father and mother

Jack met her at the train. He was

 Duality of Thought and Language, by Emil Sutro.
 In this book, embracing a continual
 ton of the study begun in Duality of
 Volcen in connection with song and ell oeution, the author, having again for five years given his entire time and at
 tention to further research, repudiates the materialistic tendency of the age, presents proofs derived from an inyes- Etigation of the essence of language,
 that mans nature is divine in It's very
 being. He demonstrates that the bad is but a peryersion of the good and is lighted by the good; that We must look to the divinity in man and not to ali outside, imaginary influence for our trust and confidence. our support and guidance, our consolation and comfort lin misfortune, our higher thoughts and
 aspirations, and all that is great and holy. As Christ was a Goa man, so are all high, pure and noble men and Wo- men. born Of the spirit. "
 It further argues that divinity, as we conceive it and as man has ever com leeived it, is an ernanation from otr- selves; that the God of any period and nation is an outcome of such period and nation; that man is subject to eternal laws, of whose origin 1t is i'm possible for him to attain any knowl- edge. These laws not only influence him from the exterior, unknown void; !;
 but are also irnbeddedin his nature and einanate from him. This fusion Of
 spirituality from the outer world with that of his inner being, which is physi- cally represented by the tracheA and the oesophagus, or respectively, tlla thorax and the abdomen, make him
