Greatest Things Are the Simplest.

The trouble with us is, that we look
too high and too far away for our
chances. We forget that the great
est things are the simplest. In hunt.
Ing for roses, we trample the daisies
under our feet. We are blind to the
chances and blessings near us be-
cause we are looking so far away for
them. Everything depends upon the
power of the mind to see opportuni-
ties. 1t is the eye that can see the
chance, the pluck and determination
to lay hold of it and wiring from it
every possibility that we lack, rather
than the chance "to make good. -

Land of Bad Snowdrjfts,

The worst snowdrifts experienced
by any railroad are said to be those
In Sweden. Although the cold is not
SC intense as in some of our western
states, the snowfall is heavy and con-
ti1 uous. The snow plows of various
kinds which are used on these roads
are said to be the most powerful in
the world. There are times, however,
when even this machinery fails to
clear the way, when hundreds of men
must be employed to ding out the
stalled trains.

There is seldom any trouble with

some sort of hog pasture is necessary,
for best results. But clover, which is
one of the best plants for this purpose
will not furnish any amount worth
mentioning until June. Some
one may ask, How can 1 secure

making, either, for I've just changed

I'm firm believer in the principles
of straight breeding in hogs, ordinarily,
and confident that by selecting a
breed suited to the Surroundings and
breeding that breed in it's purity better
results will be obtained than by an in
judicious crossing of our breeds of
hogs. 1t frequently happens that a
continued breeding means de-
terioration as it's ultimate result.

at $50 to 200 pounds that are little

desirable shipper, nor yet the desirable
feeder-they are without sufficient
bone and scale.
Il am not an advocate of the ex-

the farmer.
Nor do believe that overlarge bone

day there seems to be a tendency to

LAWSON AND INSURANCE.

Notwithstanding LaWSon's articles
have been running i'll Everybody's
Magazine for some months, the public
has just begun to take him seriously.
The first effect was a sensation. The
| public had a suspicion that he was tell
sion was produced. The public looked
upon the quarrel between Lawson and
the Standard Oil as personal matter,
| with which the public had no concern.
Slowly a change has come over the
public. Slowly the conviction is
Strengthening that all that Lawson is
telling is true, and that 1t does con-
Germ the public very much The wit
ness who turns states evidence" and
gives away his pals, thru hope OF
leniency, or to get even, never inspires
the full measure of confidence, but
when his story carries conviction he is
entitled to the same consideration as
the reputable witness. The devil re-
buking sin has never been a seemly
| spectacle. The man who would secure
the attention of his audience must HIM
self be sincere. The public official who
denounces malfeasance in public office
spires confidence. The minister of the
gospel can not impress; his flock unless
he himself is a man of spotless char
acter.
There Is no doubt: that Lawson's
career has not been one to inspire con-
fidence in his crusade against universal
business methods. His Interior mo
tives have at all times made men sus-
picious, and yet, the conviction having
been forced upon us that he is telling
| the truth, he is at last being taken
seriously. The staid old Wall Street
| Journal, the conservative Journal of
| Commerce, the New York Sun and
even the scholars paper, the New York
Evening Post, all agree that the time
has come when Lawson can no longer
be dismissed with a sineer. So long as
the controversy was between Lawson
and the Standard Oil, or Lawson and
the AmaIgamated, the rank and file
looked upon it as case of dog eat
dog, but when Lawson shows and not
/ only shows but submits incontestible
proof that the same code of morals
that governs Standard Oil permeates
New York life and is practiced by the
men who control all the great financial
! institutions, it is high time to consider
his charges seriously.
Life insurance concerns everybody
There are now 25n1illion policies in
force in the United States, more than
one to each family The money under
the control of the men who manage
these institutions is over $500, 900
