The Wise Man.

Once upon a time there was a poor
over-worked Muck Raker who had
become tired of his job He was am
bilious, and felt that his efforts were
not appreciated. He had long nose
and wore magnifying glasses. One
day while raking assiduously he was
accosted by a stranger whose aspect
was even worse than his own This
man was Herald of Light. His mis-
sion was to seek out sweetness and
virtue in a naughty world. and he was
admirably equipped with "a dark-lan-
tern without any OIL and wore spec
tacles with smoked lenses. what
are virtue and honesty" inquired
the Muck Raker. 81 can't tell you,
answered his companion sadly. 81

conversing, they were Joined by a
wise man who proved to be a real re-
former disguised as an oculist, and
who, perceiving their error, persuad-
ed them to exchange glasses. The
remedy was simple but effectual. The
Muck Raker is now working union
hours and is happy and contented,
while the other has already made
some most astonishing discoveries.

State Can Prohibit Dealings in Future
Natures Color Pots.

There is something very remarka-
bic in the persistence with which
Dame Nature expresses herself in
color.
In olden times. before people
knew as much about her fascinating
ways as now. it was thought that the
flowers quite satisfied her in the mat
ter, but today 1t is known that they
are only one small medium through
which she finds vent.
over the helds she goes in early
springtime with her color pot. and
here and there, and everywhere. she
FLASHES her paint brush; a splash OF

La stripe OF purple, AMI whole
stretches of white for contrast. The
fields are finished. but the artist does
not rest. on to the mountains and
gloomy gorges she goes. boring tun-
nels here slipping through the ra-
vines there, diving down where the
gems, and rocks hide. "They might
think intended to neglect them -
says Dame Nature to herself. mo.
no, that would never do" and she
CLOSES over the ruby as with blood,
gives the emerald share of the
same green she bestowed upon the
grass and leaves, touches the tur-
quois to the same tint the forget-me-
nots wear, and the amethysts to
that OF the hellotrope. So she goes
through the whole underworld, and
then to the sea where the fishes
dwell. Around her they circle gladly.
Tor they love color as well as she,and
delight to deck themselves and sport
in the waters which reflect their
briiliance. The blue fish whirls by
for the stroke OF her brush, the sal
mon for the CLINT of gold she espe-
cially desires. and the Paradise fish,
which perhaps of all receives the
greatest variety of tints and shades.
Coming from the ocean depths,
Dame Nature scars into the sky
kingdom. and here, round and round
the fsathered tribes whirl, as she
paints their -pinions and touches to
glorious shade the soft down Of their
breast. So, everywhere, above. be-
low. she passes, and in the western
sky at nightfall she would seem to
spill all the leavings of her color pot.
for there may be seen her red, her
blue, her orange and emerald, and
it's from this supply the rainbow
dyes its sample ribbons which are
flung out across the azure sky.-To-

kipltng the Man.

There is very graceful act con-
nected with Kipling that few people
know. For years no literary man re-
ceived SO many requests for his au-
tograph. He hit on this plan to sup
Iply all who wanted them. and to do
a good deed at the same time: he
sold the autographs for dollar
apiece. and presented the proceeds
to the Fresh Air Fund of the New
York Tribune" AS a result the fund
has been increased by thousands of
dollars.
His modesty is sincere. Once a
party Of tourists stopped in the road
In front of his house and stood for a
while.
That's the penalty Of being a
great man." said one of the authors

"Nonsense," exclaimed Kipling;

Lining the Soil for Alfalfa.

Il will generally be necessary 10
lime soils Intended for alfalfa. Ere
quent tests with litmus paper seem
to indicate that a large per cent. OF
our soils are acid. The bacteria
which live in the nodules of legumin-
Gus crops and give them their power
to assimilate atmospheric nitrogen do
not seem to thrive in an acid media.
and lime must be used to correct this
condition. Lime Is useful in many
other ways, though II is not direct
fertilizer, as many suppose, and a
word of warning on this point may
not be out of place. Lime does in
crease the crop-yielding capacity of
the soil, because 1t assists In setting
free forms OF potash which may not
have been available as plant food be-
fore now, and II has somewhat the
same action toward insoluble forms OF
phosphorus. Besides correcting acid
lty and thus making possible the rap
Id growth of various desirable forms
of bacteria, 1t aids in the digestion of
vegetable matter, bringing ii into
forms where 1t will be most useful to
the growing crop. II ameliorates
the general condition of the soil
through hocculating clays and maxi
ing them more porus. Therefore, lin
ing soils intended for alfalfa is quite
as important as increasing the vege-
table matter or adding to the avail
able supply of phosphorus and pot
ash. Prof-A. M. Soule in Southern

Washington. Dec. 26.--The opinion
of the supreme court of the United
States in the case of the board OF
education of the Kentucky annual
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church VS.. the state of Illinois,
which was handed down today by
Justice McKenna. was favorable to
the state.
The suit grew out OF a contention
over the point as to whether the Iili-
noil state law exempting religious
and educational institutions from
the operation of the inheritance tax
|applies to Institutions outside the
state. In the case decided the state
authorities undertook TO collect the
tax on a building in Chicago which
was devised by a Kentucky lady to
the church in that state.
The Illinois courts held that the
law was intended only for the pro-
lection of state institutions. and that
II did not cover the Kentucky be-
quests. The opinion Of Justice Nc
Kenna affirmed that decision. In con-
Guiding his opinion. Justice McKenna

The Novelist Who writes Up" His
His Neighbors.

While more than one author OF
the day is finding himself persona
non grata with people and communi-
ties which be has portrayed posi-
bly, with too unsparing a hand an
old question rises. How far has the
literary artist a right to put his fel-
low-beings down in printers Ink?
The question, of course, really
Sits down to the matter of persons,
and concerns the novelist alone. An
infnity of human material lies
around him and unless Othello is to
lose his occupation altogether he
must be at liberty to use 1t as he
sees fit. Individuals suggest their
type to an artists mind. and II he
represents the type, which he has
every right to do, and the individual
happens to be a well-develope6 spec

are hurt, he must console himself by
the reflection that he has written for
posterity, and posterity viii absolye
him.
But deliberately to record circum-
stances and characteristics which are
not essential to the type, which will
Identify some living person beyond a
doubt and make things uncomforta-
bic for him, means as rule, that
the writer is not only betraying his
own artistic limitations, but is for
getting the law of love.
