What He Wanted to Know.
From Tit-Bits.

From Tit Bits.
A rather amusing story is told in connec-
=, ton with certain learned professor. He
had been asked to deliver lecture-which
he readily consented to do-in the village
school room. and on the important night
the place was packed with an expectant
audience.
The front seats were occupied by a few OF
the shining lights of the i.eighborhood, and
apparently the lecturer was addressing the
select few. for he talked completely over
the heads of the rest of the audience.
At length, at the expiration OF a couple OF
hours. the professor dropped his lofty style
and blandly remarked:
And now, friends. in conclusion. allow
me to say that IL any one has question to
ask / will do my best to answer him"
1t was a yillager in the back seats who
slowly rose to his feet and asked the first
and only question.

Ambition.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Ambition is one of those strange words
which convey every shade of meaning, from
the highest wisdom and virtue to the rank
est folly and vice. We may have the "di-
vine ambition" of Hamlet and Macbeths
''vaulting ambition. which o'erleaps itself
and falls on the other side" Curiously
enough. the word is not found in the au-
thorized version of the Bible. although tt
Is common is Shakespeare. In its primary
Specification it connected nothing sinister.
1t merely meant the going about" solicit
Ing votes for Office. a perfectly legitimate
proceeding. even IL attended with danger
of corruption But the illegal and corrupt
canvassing of candidates for Office was
called "ambitus." not "ambitio." and was
penal offense in Roman days. as 1t is.
nominally, nowadays.
From such a simple going about" 10 So
licit votes came a word which conveys
either approval or blame. as 1t Is uttered
In commentator or rebuke. When we call
a man ambitious we may mean that he
has wholesome desire to achieve some
ideal end. or We may mean that he has
devilish determination to stop at nothing
In order TO secure his own Acknowledgement
Washingtons ambition was to make his
country free and independent, so that lib
erty might be enjoyed by the humblest
Napoleons ambition was to enslaYe Eu-
rope and bring monarchs TO their knees
before the footstool of Cors!can adven-
turer
This variableness in the meaning of a
word, often dependent upon mere fnfec-
ton of voice. the raising or lowering OF
pitch. the slightest possible change OF EN-
phasis In tone, really indicates the exist
ence of great truth 1t implies that the
borderland between virtue and vice Is often
debatable ground Love may be the most
elevated and pure affection or the most de-
commendabe consciousness of power or
the most unjust and contemplate AFRO
gance. Ambition may be the most laudabse
desire to achieve the noblest ideal of hui
man nature or the most blame worthy de-
termination to sacrifice humanity for the

The Cotton Situation.

Notwithstanding the large re-
csipta Of cotton, the price il about
steady at The advance which oc-
carrad when Il became evident that
many plantsra mad the ability and
determination to hold their cotton
until il could be sold without loss.
Now is the time to determine
whether cotton now on hand and
cotton TO be made this year shall
bring a profitable price, and FORUM
ately this can be brought about by
those who raise cotton.
When it is shown that the
acreage planted is materially less
than that of last season, the sur
plus will be easily handled, and a
ten million bale crop will bring
more money to the raisers than
twelve million would.
The indication are. that the jap
anese war will soon end, and
peace in the Fur East means a
greater demand for cotton.
Thus the cotton outlook is bright
and the only thing that can darken
it will be to again produce more
cotton than the world will consume
at pricea sufficient to pay the
raiserz. Home and Farm.
