ARIZONA WILL FLOURISH
When Artificial Irrigation Is Applied
to Its Arid Acres.

w nGu 40 -AppA'No
to Its Arid Acres.
PERHAPS the most striking illustration
of the benefits to be derived from the
artificial irrigation of arid lands is to be
found in the territory of Arizona. vi
the - 192. 800 acres of land in this terri
tory, but 5,62S.662 acres have been ap-
propriated to private ownership, about
221a per cent of which is under actual
cultivation at this time. The natural
flow of mountain streams has been taxed
to its utmost to supply water to irri-
gate this land. often failing to provide
enough for Il single crop-from four to
seven crops of alfalfa being harvested
from the same land under favorable con-
ditions. When the rains come, the
streams are swollen and the flood water
rushes off to the sea. Water sufficient
TO irrigate millions of acres is carried
off without rendering more service than
TO soak the ground 20 Il depth of an inch
or more.
1t frequently happens that the long
DELAYED rains come in the form of cloud
bursts in some sections, overfowing the
cultivated lands and completely destroy
ing the crops Agriculture under such
unfavorabe conditions is an uncertain
and hazardous pursuit.
With 100000 acres of land in the
territory of Arizona susceptible of irri-
CATION, but 250,G00 acres are actually
cultivated. Storage reservoirs and sys-
tens of irrigation would increase forty
times the wealth producing power of
this one territory alone. and there are
thirteen more States and Territories with
similar conditions existing.

A Minister'S Chart.

The Rev. Or. Herrick johnson was
president of the Mccormick Theologi-
cal Seminary In Chicago. A chart
hung In his library, showing by Dyra-
mids the amount of money spent In
various countries of the world for al
cohol Corresponding pyramids on the
same chart showed the sums spent by
all denominations for missionary work
in the world. At the bottom Of the
chart In large type were the words:
How God Is Robbed"
One evening while DR.. johnson was
walking In the business portion of his
city he was stopped by a man VINO
asked him for ten cents. DIR. John
son told the man that he would give
him the money il he would tell nim
honestly what he wanted it for.
The man replied: Il want to rob
God"
He formerly had been employed
about the seminary and had seen the
chart referred to, and of course he
knew DIR. johnson. He got the ten
cents.

The Appoiutiup Power.

General Grants generosity to his
foes. his many private and official
kindnesses TO the widows and orphans
Of Confederate soldiers, is an old tale.
but it bears repetition in the form of
an incident which Helen d. LOngstreet
gives in Lee and Longstreet at High
Tide
The widow of q Confederate officer
applied to the Post Office Department
to be appointed postmistress In small
Southern town. AS she heard nothing
Of her application, she went to Wash
ington to press it. She was unable to
move the authorities at the Post Office
Department, and was about to go home
in despair, when friend suggested
that it might be worth while for her
to see the President.
With much effort she summoned
courage and appeared at the White
House. The President received her in
most friendly manner. and after
hearing her story, took her application
and wrote a strong but brief indorse-
ment on the back of it. She hurried
in triumph to the Post Office Ddepart-
ment.
The official to whom she presented
tie application frowned, and pom
dered over it for some time, and then
wrote under the Presidents indorse-
ment: "This being fourth-class Of
flee, the President does not have the
appointing power
The application was handed back to
her, and she went away in deep dis
tress, and was again preparing to re-
| turn home. when another friend told
| her by all means TO take the paper
back to the President. so that he might
see how his Endorsement had been re-
| ceived. When the President read it
| he wrote under the last Endorsement:
| while the President does not have
the appointing power in this office, he
has the appointment of the Postmas-
| ter-General," and summoning his sec
retary. President Grant directed him
to accompany the lady to the depart
| ment and in person deliver her appli-
| cation to the Postmaster-Geheral.
She received the commission before
| she left the office.

The COuntersi2n.

I'm our army at the West said a
captain of the Third Missouri Infantry
in the Civil War;" ''the word Potomac
was given as the password for the
night. A German detailed for guard
duty understood it to be ''Bottomic,'
and thus transferred TO another Ger
man guard as 'Buttermilk' Soon aft
erward the officer who had given the
word wished to return through the
lines, and, approaching the sentinel,
was ordered to halt and the password
was demanded. The officer gave 'Po-
tomac.'
"'Nicht right: yen don't pass init
me dis way said the sentinel.
..'But this is the word, and I will

NO: you stand at the same time

that Potomac didn't pass in Missouri.

HAVE ANIMALS SYMPATHY.
Dog May Have, but Certainly No Other
Saws Burrouxhs.

says BURROUGHS
An Iowa correspondent asks me TO
give him my opinion as to whether or
not any of the dumb animals have
sympathy, says John Burrough in Out
ing, and added that minister at
funeral in their town had said that
no animal except man was capable of
sympathy. 1 agree with the minister.
sympathy, / think, is beyond the low
er animals When we sympathize with
person we put ourselves in his or her
place: we feel sorry for him: we pity
him; we would gladly alleviate his
suffering-all OF which implies more
or less Imagination and disinterested
regard. Susceptibility to the suffer-
ings of others is one of many higher
attributes. When sympathy was born
the race lifted above the purely animal
plane.
The next step is taking the suffer
ings of others upon yourself, which
is the highest form of altruism. Pure
selfishness rules the lower animals,
and necessarily so. sympathy is not
necessary for the continuance of the
species. but affection for their young
is. Animals certainly have a feeling
of comradeship for each other. and
experience something like grief at
separation, yet a dog or a cat or
horse or a COW will sniff at the body
of it's dead fellow with apparent un-
concern. A cry Of distress among the
birds will bring every bird within
hearing to the spot, and cause them to
be more or less agitated, but 1t is only
because they are alarmed for their
own safety; a common enemy may be
about. In the herd and the flock sick
or wounded member Is often fallen
upon by its fellows and destroyed.
II any aniplal ever experiences the
emotion we call sympathy it is, of
course. the dog. The dog has so long
been the companion of man that he
often shows in his nature trace OF
the purely human.

A conscientious, hard-working and
eminently successful clergyman writes:
II am glad to bear testimony to the
Measure and increased measure of eff
cheney and health that have come to
me from adopting Grape-Nuts food as
one of my articles of diet
"For several years was much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast, usu-
ally consisting of oatmeal, milk and
eggs. seemed to turn sour and failed
to digest. After dinner the headache
and other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away. only to
return, however, next morning.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food,
finally concluded to give it fair trial.
1 quit the use of oatmeal and eggs,
and made my breakfasts of Grape
Nuts, cream, toast and Postum. The
result was surprising in improved
health and total absence of the dis
tress that had, for so long time,
followed the morning meal. My diges-
ton became once more satisfactory,
the headaches ceased, and the old feel
ing Of energy returned Since that
time. four years ago. 1 have always
had GrapeNuts food on my breakfast
table.
II was delighted to find also, that
whereas before l began to use Grape
Nuts food was quite nervous and be

preparing sermons and in study, a
marked improvement in this respect re-
suited from the change in my diet.
am convinced that GrapeNuts food
produced this result and helped me to
sturdy condition of mental and ply
sical strength.

who were formerly troubled as I was,

Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
of W. s. Taylor's little son is locked

er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-

not walk or put his shoes on The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good. and
two or three people said his days were
short. even the doctors, two of the best
in the country, told me he would not
get better. 1 stopped their medicine
and at once sent for DOdd's Kidney
Pills. 1 gave him three Pills day,
one morning. noon and night. for eight
days; at the end of the eighth day the
swelling was all gone, but to give the
medicine justice, 1 gave him eleven
more Pills. / used thirty-five Pills in
all and he was entirely cured. / con-

given him, he could run, dance and

God, 1 am free; yes, 1 am free" He was
picked up in a semi-conscious condition
and hanged second time, the rope draw
