The Thankful Heart.

II one should give me dish of sand
and tell me there were particles of iron
in it l might look for them with my
eyes and search for them with my clum-
sy fingers and be unable to detect them,
but let me take n magnet and sweep
through it, and how it would draw to
itself the most invisible particles by the
mere power of attraction! The un-
thankful heart, like my finger in the
sand, discovers no mercies, but let the
thankful heart sweep through the day
as the magnet finds the iron, so it will
find in every hour some heavenly bless
ings, only the iron in Gods sand is gold.

average butter production per month Of
about FIVE thousand pounds. At first

before too hasty conclusions are drawn.

AS to the returns that can be made
from engaging in the dairy Industry in
North Dakota, few figures gathered
from an investigation made at one Of
the oldest creameries in the state will
not come amiss. This investigation was
for 1908 and included eighteen patrons.
The total number Of COWS MIXED was
3O4, and the largest yield of milk in
any herd per cow was 1850 pounds and
the smallest $500 pounds, and the aver
age for all herds was 4;1 67 pounds. The

40 and the lowest 3.8, with an average
! Of 4 per cent fat. The largest gross re-
ceipts per COW was $54.64,, and the
smallest 1896, with an average Of
$40.11. The highest cost of feed per
COW was 1923 and the lowest 1915,
with an average Of $12.73. The great
est net profit per COW was $43.68, and
the smallest $10.36, with an average of
$33. The largest amount received for
ST. worth of feed consumed was $3.50,
| the smallest 1921, and the average
1871.
Still more convincing should be the
report Of two of the patrons of the same
creamery for 1904 One of them MIXED
thirty cows from which he received an
average of 1850 pounds of milk valued
lat $31.77. This amount was received
from thetcreamery for milk alone, and

The action of the interstate com merce commission in postponing the hearings on the subject of private car lines. their relations with the railroads and their charges. until November 1, is likely to subject the commission 10 much unfavorable criticism. says a Washington critic The opponents of rate legislation have all along contend- cd that one of the greatest difficulties in the way of the regulation of rates by the government was that the delays of the interstate commission in several cases had shown that their attempting to adjust all differences between ship pers and carriers was an interminabIe task. To this the commission has re sponded that the delays have been due to the railroads, who sought postpone ments and kept the cases dragging.

WAR ON A CIGARETTE SMOKER.
w. C.. T. U. Leaders Complain of Ad-

w. C.. T. U. Leaders Complain of Ad- jutant- General Hughes Of Kansas. | The Women's Christian Temperance union of Kansas has made the discoy- cry that John White Friarson Hughes, adjutant-general af the state by ap- 1 pointment of Governor Edward w. Hoch is a confirmed cigarette smoker. Because of this fact the members or the organization may defeat the gov ernor for renomination next year. For several months, the white rib. boners of the state have been i'll pur- suit of the cigarette. When they met in Topeka in annual convention q few days ago the leaders announced the discovery that many Kansas young women have fallen victims to the cigarette habit. The following resolu- ton was adopted without dissenting vote:
 Resolved, That since the habit of cigarette smoking is becoming so alarmingly prevalent among girls as well as boys, we declare for a more rigid enforcement of the anti-cigarette law.
 Then resolution was adopted thank ing Governor Hoch for insisting upon the use of water instead of wine at the launching of the battleship Kansas a few weeks ago.
 It was after this resolution had been received with a chorus of ayes" that the trouble for the governor began One of the officers of the society caught glimpse of General Hughes putting in perfect serenity of mind and body at cigarette.
 She recalled that the most conspiclt ous person at the launching of the bat tleship aside from the governor and the sponsor was this same John White Friarson Hughes. He it was who, when other members of the governors staff asked permission to exchange their shoulder straps and brass but tons and tinsel and braid for linen dusters. insisted that the honor of the state must be maintained, even with the temperature lowering near the 100 mark in Camden, N. J.
 Governor Hoch afterward bOasted that Solomon in all his glory was never arrayed like General Hughes on this occasion. That the general has the uniform habit more strongly developed than any other man in the west Is the source of pride to his friends in To- peka.
 But General Hughes smokes cigar cites. In the opinion of some of the w. C. T. |. leaders this crime comes very near offsetting his gallantry and the governors act in substituting water from John Browns spring for wine at Camden.
 The women propose now to wait upon the governor and demand that General Hughes be disciplined. They insist that he must be removed, or at least reduced, or NIT Hoch himself must suffer the consequences.

Alfred Decardo. In Despair For

 NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-Alfred De eardo, who walked to New York from San Francisco to see the girl he had hoped to marry, tried to kill himself by jumping from the Williamsburg bridge.
 A policeman saw him climb from the foot passage to the outer rail and reached him in time to grab his foot. Decardo said that on his arrival here he had found that the girl he loved had returned to Italy a few days be- fore. He was without funds or friends, and the Manhattan police found him asleep near a bonfire at the Delancey street entrance to the Williamsburg bridge
 He was arraigned in the police court, and a magistrate sent him to Bellevue hospital, as doctors said he was suf- fering from hunger. He was discharg. ed from the hospital just before he at. tempted to jump from the bridge. He could give no ineligible account of his actions and was remanded for further examination.

This season marks one of the best I so far as crops are concerned that our country has ever known, and some of the newspapers speaking on the mat ter put this years crops in advance of any year in our history. Indeed there seems to be an abundance of every thing and truly God has been and is good to us. The reports of the crops which stand among our major produc- tions are as follows: "The winter wheat crop in the United States is esti- mated at 425,OO0,OO0 bushels and the spring wheat production 2S5,000,000 bushels, making the total wheat prom ise 710,00000O bushels. which has been excelled once only, by 74S,500,O00 bushel crop in 1901. The corn eondi- ton indicates . total crop of almost 2.700,O0OO00 N,Shels, which total has been approached only twice before, in 1896 and 1S09, when the final out-turn exceeded 2,6O0,000,0oo bushels. The oats, barley and rye crops are above those of last year, the estimates being respectively 950,O00,OOO, 141,O00,000 and 31, 100000 bushels. The cotton out look, however, does not seem to indi- cate so large q crop as last years, which was unusually large The gov ernment report which was made public the latter half of July puts the planted area for 1902 at about 27,OO0,OO0 acres, or reduction of 14.9 per cent"
