LITTLE THINGS
Their Greatness, the Subject Of Dr..
Halsey Yesterday Morning.

At the Baptist church last Sunday
morning Rev. DR.. Halsey preached on
The Greatness of Little Things, "
from the text found in Zacheriah 4:10,
''Who hath despised the day of small
things?"
Great men are usually careful about
little things. Abraham Lincoln, whose
birth the world celebrates today, when
postmaster made a mistake in making
change and walked for miles after Of
flee hours to correct his error. 1t is
said that Washington, burdened as he
was by the cares of camp and state,
always in writing crossed his is and
dotted his is. The busiest men often
find more time to attend to trifles than
do others, because what they do, they
Go well, and so have nothing to do
over again. The man who is doing the
most is the man who can be depended
upon to do more. He does every little
thing well, suffers no minute to go to
waste, does not despise the day of
small things, for he knows that every
great work is accomplished by the oft
repeated little strokes of long contin-
ued labor Said one of Americas mer-
chant pioneers to a new clerk: Don't
cut the string; unite it" Pointing to
ii Iucil DGIliilu the counter ne Sdlu-
There is a good salesman, but he will
never be anything more; he always
whips out his scissors and cuts the
strings of his packages. He has never
learned to save!" If the thought can
be deeply impressed upon the mind of
the beginner in life that nothing was
made to be wasted he has laid the
foundation for success. Yet there is 4
false economy that is sometimes pro
digality When Dewey, instructed by
Roosevelt. sent a requisition for more
powder for artillery practice, was met
with the inquiry from the war depart
ment: What do you want with so
much POWDER" His answer was, ITO
burn" 1t may be asked, What have
such Illustrations and teachings to do
with religion and the doctrines of the
bible? I answer: Much, everyway."
They illustrate the teachings of the
Master: Gather up the fragments
that nothing be lost" and it is Of the
fragments of time, of opportunity. of
the little things. the odd minutes, the
Insignificant efforts. that I am speak
ing today. He who despises these lit
tie things, disregards the teachings of
the great Master. Every earnest stud
ent of the worlds history has been
surprised at the immense influence
which has been exerted by things in
themselves of the slightest Importance.
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1905-02-13

What are you doing to satisfy that
need? To be at work, to be doing
something for somebody, to be building
up character for ones self, to be Great
ing character in others; "to make our
existence a positive element even
though it be no bigger than a grain of
sand in the great system in which we
have our being" this is really to live.
Life which seems little and weak to us
is great in Gods sight and belongs to
the eternities. 1t is but a little thing
in the eyes of men, when a man or
woman or child feeling the need of
divine forgiveness and aid, says: 1.-The
best 1 know, L take Jesus Christ to be
my Saviori" but for that soul it is the
greatest thing in the world, and angels
look on and are glad. Would that
some soul here would come to that
decision at this moment! Your atten-
ton has been called to the importance
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1905-02-13

of little things-the opportunity We
have of receiving a blessing by doing
little duties faithfully-the way in
which we may improve that Opportun-
ity. There is hope for the man who is
willing to do little things well. IL
seems to be but a little thing TO trust
and obey. The Centurian OF whom we
studied in our Sunday school lesson
found it to be life for himself and his
loved ones.

The practice of throwing missiles at E. P. & s. w. trains from the slag dump neighborhood, no matter the spirit in which the offense is commit ted, is assuredly to be broken up. An of this intention has been made on several occasions, but the fact did not deter w. E. Stewart, a car man. from getting into trouble to the extent of a $5 fine yesterday.
 Stewards offense consisted in throw ing a snowball at engine No. II, with the fireman of which he is on frien1- ly terms. The action, Stewart said in the court of Judge Mcdonald. Tas talk en purely in fun. Officer White was in the neighborhood when the offense was committed, looking for some such commission from boys. He arrested Stewart The court held that Stew art owed S5, and had in addition a warning coming as to the serious offense which throwing at a railroad train embodies. Much of the latter trouble that has occurred at the slag dump is now believed to have come from men who have meant no harm, but who have nevertheless greatly dis Iurbed the railroad people. The ac- tion in Stewards case will be follow. ed up until some other avenue for the venting of humor is forced.

Admitted the Lie.

Concerning King William Nv. of Eng

Countess of STAFFORD being responsible
for it.. THE king was at dinner. Next
to him was a titled woman whom he
was entertaining with some extraordi-
nary anecdotes, which the lady found
it impossible to believe were true. She
therefore answered, oh, sir, beg your
pardon, but really do not think that
can be true To her surprise he in
stantly replied, You are quite right,
marm, there is not word of truth in
it. It is lie, marin, lie In fact,
marin, we all lie; we can't help it. We
had. it from our motherv This" con-
cludes the Countess of STAFFORD, twas
the biggest lie of all, for Queen Char
lotte was very truthful person, never
given to lying"

A PRAIRIE DINNER.
cooking Utensils May BE Dispensed
With In Preparing 1t.

Suppose you start on trip across
the mountains. You have plenty of
grub" but you accidentally left your
cooking utensils behind-not a dutch
oven, not a frying pan. not tin plate,
even a tomato can. Do you suppose
for a moment would sit down on that
sack of -four and starve? Not quite.
Build a big fire and when it gets low
shove lot of good old spuds under the
Goals. If you have fresh meat the way
is clear for broiling. If not. slice your
bacon. impale it on a stout switch and
when your spuds are done break them
open and allow the good old bacon
grease to drop on them as it broils on
the end of that stick. You want cof-
fee. Rip the jacket off that canteen,
bring the water tOoa boil. funnel your
coffee in. and your coffee is ready But
how about the bread? No pan to mix
the dough in. no article in which to
bake the bread. You don't like ash
cakes? All right Just mix your bak-
Ing powder carefully in the top of the
sack, form the flour into a funnel
shape, pour in very little water at
time-don't be afraid of getting your
fingers balled up-miX that dough right
there. and when it is the desired con-
sistency roll it out like snake Cut
cane from any old thing, wrap this
snake shaped piece of dough around it
in long coil, turn it before the fire un-
til it is good and brown, and you will
have finer bread than grandma ever
made.

DEEP FLOWING.

SOM men have the notion that deep
blowing is the great means of keeping
up the fertility of the soil and raising
big crops. this notion perhaps growing
out of the old saw:
Pillow deep while sluggards sleep,
And you shall have corn both to sell and
to keep.
But this is not an infallible rule for
promoting good system of farming
by good deal Many a man has found
that deep blowing has proved a posi-
tive injury to his land. 1t is always
that way with gravelly or very porous
subsoils. Land with a hardpan sub
soil is benefited by subsoiling rather
than by deep blowing. Flowing to an
average depth of four inches, with an
extra deep blowing once in five or six
years to the depth of six inches, proves
to be the best treatment for all prairie
soils of black loan on clay formation.
We have never yet known q deeper
working of this sort of soil to increase
the crop yield and have known it many
a time to decrease it. That soil is best
worked where capillary action is most
promoted and surface drainage best
secured. "A possible exception can be
made in the case, of root crops-sugar
beetS, carrots, mangelS and parSnips-
which to SECURE their best development
need a mellow soil to grow in TO the
depth of one foot or more.
