THE THIRD POWER.

The editor has Just finished read
ing a volume of absorbing interest
to the farming class. The title of
this little volume. The Third
Power. " does not indicate anything
to the uninitiated, yet as soon IS
the book Is opened it Is seen that
the third power refers to the farm
erS and the other two to capital
and labor respectively. The author
shows very convincingly that an
organization of the farmers of the
United States would be of great
benefit. This organization, which
has been started. Is known as the
American Society of Equity. The
intention Is to secure a million
members and then adopt such by
laws and constitution as will allow
Of the regulation of prices for
farm products by a committee of
the society. There is no doubt in
our mind that the farmers get very
little. comparatively, for their pro-
ducts. and that they have TO pay
the highest price for their machin-
cry and materials. This Is caused
by two organizations, one known
as the elevator trust, and the other
the farming implement trust. The
only relief appears to be an organ
ization among the farmers. The
printers, plumbers. cigar makers.
engineers, painters. carpenters.
bricklayers. and every other form
of labor in this country, have
unions, into which are admitted
only members of their respective
trades. The only weak point we
have discovered in the Society of
Equity Is that it allows others than
farmers TO become members. That
Is the rock upon which the Farm
ers Alliance went TO pieces. Law
yers and shrewd politicians secured
control of the Alliance early in its
life, and it was only matter of
time until it went down to defeat.
The Farmers Alliance was a good
thing, and would have been help
ing the farmer vastly today. but
for the fact that it was drawn into
politics. So it will be with the
American Society of Equity. If
no one but actual farmers are al
lowed TO become members. it will
be representative body and will
do great good for the farmers. but
so soon as any man not an actual
tiller of the soil is allowed TO ioin
1t, just so soon will its end become
apparent. The only thing that has
kept the labor unions alive today
Is their irOn-clad laws against mix
ing in politics. And the only way
To keep the American Society of
Equity out of politics is to prohibit
any person from joining who is
not an actual farmer. The Third
Power" is an interesting book.
Some of the authors propositions
are little widely drawn, but time
and experience will take the rough
edges off them. To the farmers
we would say, your only salvation
as an organization lies in keeping
your skirts clear and feet free
from the mire of political ambition.
To twist an old quotation, LAS he
was politically ambitious, we slew
him."

A Fine conversationaIist.

II was a much confused debutante
who, during her first Washington sea-
son, suffered agonies OF torture from
self consciousness. One day she met
the late Secretary Hay at a reception.
Her embarrassment was evident and
in striking contrast to the ease of the
Secretary and his two daughters.
Tell me what to say and how to say
It," she whispered to the Secretary as
he shook hands with her.
With ready wit he responded: Say
the same things that people say TO
you. Then listen closely" -
The girl did as shf was hiddeh..
When people said, How do you dor
she replied, How do you do?" When
they said, $50 glad to see YOU" she
simply repeated the formula. One
after another of the sentences she
managed to stumble through. And as
she went along ease began to come to
her and she noticed that people con.
versed with her. She said so little
and listened so much. At the close OF
the evening she had the satisfaction
of hearing some one say: What a
brilliant girl is Miss X, She is such
a fine onversationalist."

WIKI SUDDEN spring ne was over the
side Of the boat.
step, the great bending ferns, whose
sweet odor lulls and satisfies wearied
brain and body, he longed intently for
all this without ever having known 1t.
The nearest he had come to it was
an occasional hour in a city park, and
his country birthplace claimed recog-
milton In his heart. But 1t cost money
to ride even in a trolley car, and the
boat was free-to him-while there
was a certainty that Dick would col
lect pennies, and they were hungry.
People almost always seemed attract
ed to Dick and the plate seldom came
back empty when he carried It,
The two had a merry time racing,
digging holes in the sand, as all boys
love to do, now stopping before a
group OF children or little picnic
party for a dance or two, and more
pennies. When the boat left they
were tired out and Tom found a cor.
ner where they hid behind some boxes
and both fell asleep. Later there was
commotion and . sudden rush. Tom.
only half awake, jumped to his feet
and was pushed along by the crowd.
Dick saw him waver a moment on the
edge of the boat and heard a shout,
boy overboard!" With a sharp,
piercing cry he sprang after Tom, but
the crowd separated them. He could
not understand all that happened for
he was so short he could not see
much, and he could not ask, but he
knew that they were trying to save
his friend. He looked piteously into
the faces about him, uttering the shrill
moan of the dumb. He heard a voice
say:
"Of course, it was useless, the boat
was moving so fast they could not
find him. Poor little street beggar!
he is better off as it isl"
The mate had tears In his eyes
when, passing across the deck. he
spied Dick.
Poor little fellow, what is going
to become Of you?" and he lifted him
up. Nobody ever wanted to touch
Tom, but some way Dick never looked
dirty and his hair was not so untidy.
''Ill take you home and you shall
live with me-" said the mate, putting
his arm around him, but Dick kept
up the same pitiful cry and his eyes
| were fastened on the dancing water
| that had seized his loved companion.
He had nobody In the whole world but

that was where he wanted tn be.
Where his Tom was he could be happy
again. Poor ignorant, untaught waif
of the streets. but faithful unto death.
He wrenched himself free from the
mate and with a sudden spring he was
over the side Of the boat and the
water closed over him. There was
stir and cry among the passengers, and
the man who had spoken before said
In a subdued voice.

Cause Of Ocean rid.a.

Tides are caused by the gravita-
tional attraction or pull of the sun
and moon upon the water, and upon
the earth itself. The moon being so
much nearer than the sun, is, of
course, the principal cause. When
the moon is directly over a given
place it pulls the water under it, and
thus tends to keep up a tidal wave
just under the moon. At the same
time 1t is pulling the earth itself; but
1t pulls the water more than the earth
underneath, simply because the moon
is nearer to the water on the surface
than it is to the solid earth behind il.
