WHAT HAVE YOU. DONEq

You are going to do great things, you
say
But what have you done?
You are going to win in a splendid way,
As others have won;
You have plans that when they are put
in force
Will make you sublime;
You have mapped out a glorious upward
course #S'
But why don't you climb?
you're not quite ready to start, you say;
If you hope to win
The time to be starting is now-to-day-
Don't daily, begin!
No man has ever been ready as yet,
Nor ever will be;
You may fall ere you reach where your
hopes are set
But try it and see.
You are going to do great things, you say
You have sp iid plans;
Your dreams are Of Id hts that are far
away; 5& "a
They're hopeful ban's-
But the world, when it judges the case
for you,
At the end, my son,
VIII think not of what you were going
TO do,
But Of what you've done.

New Rnrnr Plant.

The Agricultural Department Is in
quiring into the statement of Consul
General Guenther that new pant has
been discovered in South America that
promises to supplant the sugar cane
and the sugar beet. The plant contains
a large amount of saccharine matter
and high percentage OF natural sugar
properties which are easy to extract.
1t Is said to be easily cultivated In
climates like those of the southern por
ton Of the United States. According
to experiments made by the discoverer,
the director Of the agricultural insti-
tute Of Asuncion, this plant is said to
yield sugar which is from twenty to
thirty times as sweet as ordinary cane
or beet sugar

Wide and Narrow Tires.

At an experiment station 1t has been
demonsti ated that it requires 40 per
cent more power to draw a load on a
wagon with 11A-inch tires than one
with a 3-inch tire. With a Baldwin
dynamometer careful tests were made
with loaded wagon drawn over blue
grass sward. In a wagon weighing
1000 pounds it was found that load
weighing 1922 pounds could be drawn
on wide tires with the same force re-
quired to move 1000 pounds on mar
row tires. Moreover, the wide tires
did aot injure the turf, while the mar
row ones cut through it.

Zeb Fulton had moved into the Glib
town neighborhocd, in the early winter,
from the Clear Creek country. There
he had owned a small farm; but, his
wife falling sick, he had mortgaged it
that he might pay doctors bills. A
crop failure forced him to turn over
the farm to his creditors. With an in
valid wife and four helpless children
1t had been difficult for him to rent a
farm. Landowners wanted men that
had good force OF hands" The
cabin and little hillside patch was the
best he could do. Under favoring cir

hopeless.
He walked slowly toward the cabin.
AS he climbed the fence between it and
the field the children came running to
meet him. The tired look vanished
from his face as they chung to his
trousers and reached up for his hands.
The smallest, toddling baby, he kiss

entered the cabin. Fulton sat down by
the bedside, the baby on his knee.
How have you been resting, Mol
lie?" he asked, shade of anxiety in
his voice.
There was a movement in the
quilts: thin hand was stretched out
to him. Fulton took 1t tenderly be-
tween his rough palms.

1t presented the appearance Of having
undergone a general renovating. There
was snowy linen on the bed, and it was
wheeled to where his wife, dressed in
a clean wrapper, could look through

color had crept into her cheeks and
brightness into her eyes. The chill

with new rag doll.
Some of the women were in the

Fulton and his wife stood by tho

DR.. Gaines and the village preacher,
Fora PERTH, were engaged in CONVEX
sation when Fulton reached the doc
tors office that night. So 1t happened
that the Rev. PERTH learned of Fulton's
sick wife. The next morning he drove
out. 1t was late in the day when he
reached the cabin, and Fulton had al
ready gone to the field.
The minister didn't remain long. At
ter speaking a few words to the sick
woman and the children, he prayed
and took his departure. He saw at a
glance that other things than prayers
and words of sympathy were needed.
He spent the morning visiting neigh.
boring farms. When he returned home,
late that evening, tired with the days
work, he felt that it had not been in
vain.
At noon, when Fulton was told of
the preachers visit, he said nothing,
but a queer expression came on his
face. Whether of approval or resent
ment it was hard to tell.
The next morning he was clearing
away the breakfast dishes and trying
to quiet a fretful child when he
CHANGED to glance out of the door. He
was almost startled. A dozen men were
hoeing industriously in the cotton
patch. He stood for some minutes re-
garding them, dazed. He was not a
hard man, and, touched by the unex-
pected show Of kindness, a tear came
into his eye; rolled down his cheek,
splashed on the plate he was drying.
In a moment he was ashamed OF the
weakness and quickly brushed all
traces OF it from his eye. He hung up
the dishpan, washed the baby's face,
and entered his wife's room.
