Preachers at Disadvantage.

SIOUX Clty Journal.
 There is no sound reason why preachers should be better men than lawyers or financiers. The real obli- gations of all men are equal But the preachers are in trying positions. because they assume to represent a high standard of morality. They pro fess religion. Lawyers and financiers can say they do not pretend to be better than other men. To certain extent they plead guilty. They claim the merit of not being hypocritical The world is quite in agreement that the hypocrite is detestable, The charge of insincerity and hypocrisy goes to the weak nerve of the preacher and his misfortune Is that the world is still so skpetical as to the rule of goodness that under the charge he is placed at once under suspicion. Relatively he Is somewhat in the situation of the rich man who Is charged with ques- tionable methods in his business of ac- cumulation.

 When a shipper asks for rate the freight agent first turns to his Classii1- cation List, which contains the names of commodities and their class, ana then to his Freight Tariff schedule :n which he may find the rate for the transportation of commodities or any class from any station to any point on the railroad. The Classification List is the freight agents Bible; the frelshI Tariff Schedule his exegesis.
 Let us suppose that a shipper in New York wishes to send some crates of crockery aggregating 200 pounds 'n weight to a consignee in New Haven. The shipper goes to the New York freight agent of the New Haven road and has a bill of lading made out for two crates of crockery, weight 200 pounds, from Pier 50, East River, to New Haven.
 The number of the car on which the freight is to move is put on the ship hing order by tally clerk. Then the bin of lading clerk looks up the class and rate. Turning to the proper page in the Classification. he finds that the crated crockery is a second class com modity by glancing down a page which reads as follows:

Select Your seed Corn.

The farmer who has a uniformly
good corn crop is generally the man
who looks after his seed himself. He
does not buy from any dealer whose
circular happens to fall into his hands
and plant the seed without testing.
The careful farmer picks out his seed
from the best of his own corn or that
of his neighbor, sees that it is properly
dried and cared for during the winter
and tests it before planting in the
spring. The careless farmer does not
do these things and then kicks be-
cause his crop is a failure. He ought
to hire a man to apply some good
lusty kicks to his own person.
The seedmen are not always to
blame. Some of them are honest. The
farmer should test his seed for himself
and ii it be good give the seedman his
due; II, on the other hand it be bad,
let him dispose of it the best he can.
A failing that growers have is to delay
securing their seed until too little
time is left to obtain an adequate
knowledge of it's real value.
| cannot too strongly urge corn
growers to see to it now that well-ma-
tured ears Oh desirable type and the
product of a variety noted for success
sive large yields be secured for next
years seeding. The time Of the year
is now at hand, therefore, when those
who grow their own seel, or aim to
supply others, should do their utmost
to secure the best possible seed cars,
and then store these selected ears in
such manner that tne.r vitality will
be in no way impaired.

IN DAYS OF OLD.

Not like the swain of olden days
Doth modern youth his mood incline
To soft guitar and gentle lays
Beneath the lattice-climbing vine,
When he would win his valentine.
All, Life moved then in joyous ways,
And all was placid and benign.
There lruked no microbe to amaze
And hurt the youth with cough
malign
When he would charm his valentine
Sc now he simply writes and says,
My health and bank account are
fine.
You'll find that matrimony pays
Ii we our two estates combine,
And you will be my valentine"
