man whose money came easy, and
one day he heard the voice OF God,
and like a brook from the mountain
he poured forth his dollars to sweet
en- and bless society, as the brook
makes beautiful the meadows through
which it runs on it's way to the ocean.
He had learned the way OF GOD In
riches. And this is what would say
whether the gift be poverty or riches,
sickness or health, prosperity or ad
yersity, cloud or shine-they are but
the acts of God, and out OF these acts
He allows us to weave the story OF
His love, and to learn the beautlluI
lesson of His ways to the children Ot
men. ~.

At breakfast time the next morning
the boaders were all excitement over
the news Allen, very red in the face

vigorously that it was nothing to make
such a fuss about. Any fellow would
have done the same thing if he'd seen

Senator Pettus of Alabama, .S6
years old, lawyer, soldier, politi-
clan, says if he had to live his life
over again he would choose the
"high calling of farmer" The
drift of young men is away from
the farm it is difficult for them, to
see it's attractions, but as they
grow old and hav engaged in the
struggle for wealth or place n for
mere subsistence in other occnpa-
tons, the independence ofthe far
mer's life appeals to them greatly.
This yearning of the elderly for
rural existence as the ideal oon-

as to be almost universal. 1t is
of a primal impulse drawing; man

Exceptionally Low
Rates to Brighter
Possibilities

The Southwest is the land
of possibilities. The oppor-
tunities for men of average
means are brighter here than
elsewhere-you can get more
for your labor or your in
vestment. The opportune
time is now while the land is
cheap. The country is set
ting up. If you purchase
land now you will soon see
grow up around you a COM
munity of prosperous ener-
getic men who like yourself
have seen the brighter posi-
bilities of the Southwest, and
have taken advantage of
them.
Along the line of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas R'y in In dian
Territory, Oklahoma and Texas
are vast areas of unimproved land
land not now yielding the crops
of which it is capable. The same
thing. in a different way, is true Of
the towns. Few lines of business
are adequately represented. There
are openings of all sorts for you.

Though last years wheat crop was

consumed, and when the new crop
reaches the market clean bins will
it everywhere. The north

Arrangements for the opening
of the Republican State campaign
are being made down at head
quarters, and the forces are to be
martialed ready for the fray. The
outlook through the State was
never better for and in st.
Louis the Republican majority is
going to be a big one. Never be-
fore have Republicans been so
hopeful and never was the party
so harmonious. There is not a
faction in the State, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Democratic
press has been pounding away all
the time trying to cause some
kind of dissatisfaction. The st.
Louis Republic finds a new faction
about every thirty six hours and
then changes it's line of attack.
The Republic has been doing this
every since it was forced to sup
port Folk against it's own wishes
in the campaign of 1904. It's lat
est discovery is a split between
the state organization and the
state officials. 1t gives the line
up just as though it was handling
a ball game and in it's usual man
ner misses the truth "a mile and a
half" The State officials are Civ
ing the State organization all the
support they possibly can. They
are aiding the organization by
giving the people of Missouri the
best administration they ever had.
This is of course a thorne in the
flesh of the Democracy, but a cold
fact that cannot be gotten around
The congressman who have just
returned home have backed up
the state organization by having
we'll and faithfully represented
the people of the State in Con-
gress. To all this the State Or

souri, to sustain the action of their
officers by getting their shoulder

lican Legislature and the balance
