Russia and Its Emperor

1t is no secret in Russia that the atti-
tude of numerous section of educated
people in that country toward their SOW
ereign has latterly undergone a rapid
change. twas previously accepted, part
ly sincerely, in part as matter of policy
borrowed from constitutional govern
ments, that the emperor was favorably
disposed toward constitutionalism, but
that his ministers and others hindered
him in the adoption of his beneficent
plans. The existence of liberal minis
ter in the only ministry which now exer-
cises any influence in such matters nee
essarily suggests different view. and
patriotic Russians of all classes hope
that the emperor will realize that he has
begun to stand before his subjects in q

A 48O ACRE FARM YIELDS Is
PER CENT. PROFIT A
YEAR.
What Mercer County (ohio) Farmer
Received from One Years
Crop

Extracts from an interesting letter
from p. H. Rynhard, of Starbuck, Man
itoba, Canada, gives an excellent idea
of the prosperity of those who have
gone from the United States to Can
ada. He says:
II bought, August, 1903, $50 acres
of land, paying $4,000 for it. We
threshed 1913 bushels of wheat and
between 1900 and 1900 bushels of
oats and barley from 200 acres. But
part of the wheat went down before
filing, and was not harvested except
for hay. The crop was worth at
threshing time $4,000. Besides 100
acres laying idle, except timothy
meadow, which is not included in this
estimate. Counting the value of the
product and the increase of value of
land will pay me more than 25 per
cent. on the investment. Two broth
ers in the same neighborhood bought
100 acres each six years ago. They
have not done a single thing to this
land except to fence it and break and
cultivate about one-half of it. Har-
vested last year % bushels wheat per
acre. This year 27 bushels per acre.
They can get any day $25 per acre.
These are only few of many hun
dreds of such chances. 1t looks like
boasting, but truth is justifiable, and
the world ought to know it, especially
the home-seeker. l know of quite a
few farmers that have made fortunes
in from 10 to 20 years, retired with
from $4,000 to 100000.

THE HOME.

The strength and glory of a ma
tion rests for security upon the
homes of it's people. The strength
and power of the homes of people
is measured by the character of
the women who preside in them.
Hence, whatever strengthens and
uplifts woman makes the nation
more secure.
You can correctly measure the
civilization of people by their es-
innate of woman and the position
held by herin society.
This statement needs no en-
largement. Measured by this un-
ering standard, notsince the morn
ing stars sang together in celestial
symphony at the dawn of creation,
has there been time or country
when and wherein woman held a
higher, holier place in the life of
the nation than at this time in this
great country of ours.
This can be said to the immortal
glory of this land. Our women are
the moral and spiritual life of this
Republic. Their intellectual &C.
tivities are as boundless as their
opportunities are great. In the
realm of literature, of art, of phi
losophy, in every department of
intellectual life they are winning
golden laurels. But it is in the
home where woman rules and
reigns an uncrowned but royal
queen, superb mistress of human
destinies; it is here she is the real
saver of life to this great Nation.
Upon the South and upon the
Democratic party especially rests
the responsibility of preserving
the home and the purity and ex-
allied station Of our womanhood.
Let us not shirk or evade the re-
sponsibility.

Did you ever stop to think that
God hides away SO many secrets
under the SHOWS of winter? Who
can tell what mysteries are buried
beneath the white cover, so deep,
SO dazzling in its purity when it
first falls on the brown leaves and
withered grass? It is true to it's
trust and never whispers of the
possibilities that are being shell
tered and nourished by it's enfold-
ing. The flowers are only sleep
ing, their tiny pulses are throbbing
with life down in the darkness,
and after they awake, rested and
refreshed they will bud and bios
som more beautifully than before.
The bare branches of the trees
bend lovingly down in a feeble at
tempt to protect the little sleeping
blossoms and the wind, we say,
sighs mournfully as it rocks them
to and fro, but it is only chanting
alullaby that is known to natures
children alone. All is quiet and
peace under the snow awaiting the
sound of Springs trumpet" to a
larger life and greater loveliness.
So when 'life's winter is past" and
the snow has melted at the call of
Gods eternal spring what wonder
ful surprises await us. Life, FULL.
free, throbbing life that will never
need to sleep again under the win

Behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow,
Keeping watch above his own."
And what seemed death to the
natural sense was only a hiding
away of the germ immortal with
God standing guard, ready to bring
ii forth in good time. The king
who comes and spreads his robe
of ermine over all, treads, oh, SO
gently, because of the sleeping
buds and tender blossoms beneath
his feet in their earthly cradle.
The awakening time is not yet and
they will sleep more sweetly under
the ermine robe.
Why do we not think of this
when our hearts are heavy laden
because of what has been hidden
away from us, remembering that
there lives one who never loses
sight of our flowers, even though
theywither here in the cold blasts
that come from the sea of pain and
the valley of the shadow. He
knows they are only resting for
moment, to come to more marv-

are sun-kissed eternally, and whose
flowers know. no winter time for
