SECOND STATE In
CORN GROWING.
Missouri Average For Last Four
Years Exceeded Only By
Illinois

COLUMBIA, January 30 George b.
Ellis, secretary Of the state board OF
agriculture, to-day gave out a state
ment of values on Missouri crops for
1905. Had 1t not been for the very
unfavorable weather during August
and September, causing an immense
loss on the corn crop, the value OF all
farm crops for the last year would
have exceeded any other year In the
history OF the state, except, possible,
the great crop OF 1902. Prices for farm
crops have been reasonably good, and
farmers, as rule, are In good financial
condition, Missouri now stands sec
ond among the five great corn-produc-
ing states in the Union. Taking the
sum Of the average yields for the last
four years, Missouri has produced more
corn per acre than any other Of the
great corn states with one exception,
that Of the State OF Illinois.
The state has exceeded the yield Of
Iowa during these four years by one
bushel per acre; Nebraska, nearly 2
bushels, and Kansas, nearly bushels.
Compared with last year, corn shows
value increase OF s1s, ass, 600, and an
increased yield over that Of last year
amounting to 7l,2s5, 900 bushels. The
wheat crop for this yeas shows an In
crease over last year Of 2,093,00 bush
els, but on account of the reduced
price the total value is s2,647, 600 less
than last year. The hay crop for 1906
is worth only s24, ,52s, 900.
The magnitude of the corn crop pro-
duced In Missouri this year may be
illustrated by saying that II corn pen
10 feet wide and 10 feet high we're
built on the border of the state, sur
rounding the entire state, the corn pro-
duced 10 Missouri this year would fill
1t II the coru were loaded into box
cars, 500 bushels to the car, 1t would
take three rows of cars standing close
ly copuled bordering the entire state
to hold the corn produced in Missouri
this year. Estimating that a man
can husk so bushels day, II one man
should husk this corn crop, working
Si2 days year, IL would require him
1916 years to complete the work.

DOCTOR SAYS HE PUT
PATIENT OUT OF MISERY,
Milwaukee Physician Tells How He
Gave Woman Fatally Burn
cd an Overdose Of Nor
phine to End Her
Life.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 25 III have my
self given q patient fatal dose Of
morphine when death was certain In
order to prevent further suffering. =
This was the statement made by
DR.. Walter Kempster in talking Of the
proposition before the Ohio Legisla-
ture TO permit the killing Of patients
who are suffering and are certain to
die.
II cannot be certain that the NOR
phine whict-I administered was the
cause Of death, but the woman died.
l think death was due TO her injuries,
as death could not have been avoid
ed The case happened in New York.
1.-THE wife OF a colonel In the army
burned herself frlghtfully. In fact
she was literally roasted, When | en-
tered her room, In response to a call
from her regular physician, she lifted
her hand to shake hands with me, and
the flesh dropped from her bones,
leaving tbe forearm absolutely bare.
Her body was in the same condition.
She was suffering frightfully when !
entered ner room. She had tried to
commit suicide and expected to be
dead before she was found. When 1
saw her condition, / asked the other
doctor: "What will you do?"
Give ten drops Of morphine solu-
tion,'" he said.
"'Why don't you fill the syringe9" !"
/ asked
'Will you administer the morphine
II dop''' was his answer.
Certainly, said /.
''He filed the syringe and l admin
istered the morphine.
"The woman died short time af-
terward. When the priest came to
administer the last sacrament, accord
ing to the rites Of the Catholic church,
we told him what had been done.
"'You did exactly right" was bis
comment.
II believe In cases like that 1t is
right to stop suffering. am not sure
this woman died OF the morphine. In
fact, believe she died Of her burns.
She would have died any way

REFERRiN0 to Hon. Champ Clark

REFERRING to young men working
for wages the Breeders Gazette editor
| tally says: when the writer was .
young man be worked for Others. II
was hard work, strenuous endeavor
part OF the time and steady, ploddine
drudgery the rest Of the time. AS hs
looks back at II now he sees that II
was all good for him, all necessar,
training. And he can stick a pin and
| say: Here Is where l began to rise ID
In life.' Where, think you, was that
point? 1t was the time when be
awoke and got up before his foremanl
Somehow after that time things went
easier, and yet be worked the harder.
But when there came within com.
pelling force that caused himself to dc
things, then life was pleasanter and
brighter, and from that day bis for
tune was made. Fortune comes,
moreyer, from within. 1t is not a
thing that can be grated on. 1t
comes from desire to do things, from
habit OF doing them and doing them
well. II comes from Instinct that
leads man to do always his best
work, to choose service that brings out
his best efforts. No man need despair
OF achieving the best OF life II only be
can blow into living flame the spark
that dwells always within him, the
spark of desire, OF ambition, and that
flame once kindled, If fed with pa
thence, win show the way little by
little past all the hard turnings. All
things have their use. The young
man working for wages needsthe toll,
the drudgery. Without IL be can
never know Alright how to direct other
men to do the same or similar tasks.
He needs the sympathy that this toll
will give to him, the sympathy with
those under him, sympathy with the
toiling, grimy world that must always
be. He needs the skill that comes
from often doing thing. Some day
he can look back on that toll and
know that it was needful and good.
The young man working for wages
should be well assured that bis EN-.
ployer is watching to see what he Is
doing. He may give no sign, but ev-
cry time that young man does . task
well, or one that he has set himself 10
unmasked, be is marked up notch in
in that employers estimation. And
some day it will all tell. One might
say with truth that the young man
who works for wages has his fortune
made the first time be seeks out and
sets himself unasked to perform a
needed task, since then there is start
ed TO develop within him that price,
gift, to originate, to execute. Given
these the young man is no longer a
drudge; he is ready to stand with the
captains. Fortune comes ever from
"tptin.
