MISTAKEN CHARITY.

Kalamazoo. Michigan, will be a
mecca for all tramps of the country
hereafter. This is because a Kala.
mazoO woman, Mrs. Almira Kramer
has just died, leaving $lO, 900 to be pur
out at interest, the income to be
used in feeding the gentlemen of the
road. Now let the glad news, be dis.
seminated among the tramp frater-
nifty. Let the word be passed along
that in Kalamazoo they will be fed
copiously without money and without
price: and, what is more to the point,
without work.
The people of Kalamazoo are nat
urally much concerned about the be-
quest. They don't want their town
to become a tramp haven but they
money with which to feed the buns
is there and the buns know it is there
They will surely loose no time in
claiming their GOWN, whether Kala-
mazoo likes it or not. Mrs. Kramer's
charity is sure to prove a considerable
nuisance to Kalamazoo.
1t is a mistaken charity. This no
ton of feeding every tramp that
comes along and asks for food has
been much overworked Some people
pride themselves on the fact that they
never turn professedly hungry man
away unfed. They think they are
nobly generous, that they are philan-
tropists, that they are casting upon
the waters bread that may after a
long time return to them. ThH
theory that all Corners must be fed
is foolish one. We don't believe in
turning hungry men away hungry, but
we do believe that they should be
made to pay in work, at least, for
their food.
No man who is really hungry, and
we speak now of the able bodied only,
will refuse to do some work in ex-
C0ango 1Or some 1000. NO man aDlo
to work, should be permitted to eat
without working. 1t is the indescrim-
mate feeding Of tramps by house
keepers that has built up the great
army of buns in the United States.
There are thousands of them tramping
across and up and down the country.
They ride in freight cars, on brake
beams, they even walk when they
can't steel ride.
But they never work, for they are
always sure of finding some soft.
hearted individual who will feed
them A general movement for re-
quiring tramps to work before they
eat would have the effect of thinning
out that army in a little while.

A PRAYER.
BY REV s. D. WOODS.

Almighty God, whose hand dost strew
Our lives with blessings sweet and
new,
Be thou our portion day by day,
And keep US ever in thy way.
To thee we make our humble prayer,
Imploring thee for constant care.
Our every weakness thou dost know,
To US thy tender mercieS show.
Give US heart most truly thine,
And round that heart thy love en-
tWine
So that we ne'er shall step aside,
Nor go the road so smooth and wide,
Th6t road so broad, so easy trod,
Because it leads away from God.
That leads US to eternal shame,
When we forget Thy holy name.
Hear this our prayer for one and all,
AS on Thyename we humbly call.
Comfort the sick, the blind, the lame.
These things we ask, in Jesus name.
Amen.

the best festival of the kind ever held
in this church. AS usual the altar
was piled high with the choicest
fruits: apples, pears. ounces, peaches
and grapes, corn, oil and wine, bread
and cut flowers. In front of the chan.
Gel we're masses of dahlias, marigolds
and wild flowers, bitter sweet and
autumn leaves. The music, rendered
by the united choirs of St Johns and
Trinity, was inspiring and the anthem,
''Praise Ye the Father" Gounod,
sung in place Of the final hymn was
grand. the violin solo by Arthur 1.
Platt was fine and most appropriate.
The rector conducted the service, Rev

The Rich Hill tribune. (Rich Hill, Mo.) 1903-1911, 1905-06-15

The above term Is a new one 10 us
and IL doubtless new TO most OF OUT
readers, The writer was looking ovel
some pot experiments being conduct,
ed At the University OF Illinois By Pro.
feszor Cyril O. Hopkins when he came
TO one pot In which was seer an IN.
usual condition Of plant growth The
pot contained soil IN which VAS a
large amount OF alksll, so much so
that plant life could make but little
Roadway In il. While In other pots
nearby where the soil was good the
plants stood two feet high, In this Dot
most OF the plants were OF spindling
growth and not ove four inches n
height. There were ten plants in
each pot. that the results might be bet.
ter compared.
But In this pot was one plant that
lowered above its fellows. Professor
Hopkins remarked: THAT Is what
the boys call a Shakespeare plant
The writer measured Il and found the
height 10 be % inches. Moreover Il
had stooled out n had three large
stalks In addition TO the PRINCIPAL
stalk. The volume OF the plant was at
least thirty times that OF the average
plants in the pots.
NOW as TO the cause Of such a de-
yelopment In an unfriendly medium.
Professor Hopkins did not wish TO ex.
press hts opinion as TO the cause. for
tue true scientist does not like to get
the reputation Of being a guesser. He
wishes to send out to the public only
opinions that have a strong array Of
facts behind them, and in that he IL
right. But the ordinary mortal can.
not help reaching for possible inter.
~pretattons OF unusual things.
II may be that this plant has the
power to resist slkali TO such a degree
that It Is able TO develop in spite OF II.
II this Is so, its seed may be saved
n be planted in subsequent years TO
get a variety Of wheat that cares moth.
ing for alkali. The probability is that
there is much in this plant that is OF
value to the world, for such plants
have already been found among other
economic plants. such as cotton. We
have no doubt that the seed OF this
plant will be saved and further experi.
ments made with Il.
There are, Of course. other possible.
though not probable, explanations.
One is that the alkali is not evenly
distributed In the soil in which the
plant is growing and another is that
the water used in the pot has caused
more teaching out OF the Alkail Ia one
part OF the pot than IN other parts.
Such explanations viii not. however
receive much weight TIL they have
something more than mere conjecture
TO back them. Doubtless the roots OF
this big plant ramify all over the Dot
