gretfnully found himself unable to ac-

He has fully explained his reasons in a
letter transmitted to the board. IN which
he. says that he is deeply moved by the
generous action of the board in chOos-
ing him to this high post, the greatest
honor he ever received, or expects to
receive; that his conclusion has been
reached through no lack of sense OF puo-
lie duty which should inspire every
American citizen, but because it comes
at a time when he is nearing the COM
pletiOn Of the publication Of the results
of thirty years OF research work.
He expresses the hope that the Board
OF Regents will understand that he has
reached the decision after most con-
scienitous consideration. and that he
may still retain the respect and esteem
which prompted them 20 vote for him.

NEVER LEFT THE ROAD.

1t is a great pleasure TO the friends
of Judge Crump to feel that while "a
grave error of Judgment temporarily
assailed him and IAN act of indiscre-
ton" crowded IN among his many acts
of virtue, that he has remained stead
fast in the faith. In the celebrated al
manac of DIR. Mills be tells of another
struggling brother, who though tempt
ed, held firmly to bis better self. He
says: IAN old negro in a neighborhood
town arose in prayer meeting and said:
'bredderin aud Sisterin, been nigh
ty mean nigger in my time, had heap

One OF our city pastors recently
preached on the parable of the Good
Samaritan. After the sermon a visi'
tor said to him that he had recently
gained some light on the Good Samari.
tan which he thought might be Of
some service to tho minister. He had
recently heard distinguished lecturer
refer to the Coed Samaritan and quote
a story which was current. In dis.
cussing the matter a gentlemen main
tanned that the Good Sam aritan was a
drummer. In fact he knew he was a
drummer and gave three reasons for 1t:
First. he WAS a traveller. He was com.
ing that way again. Second, be knew
where was the best hotel 10 the place.
And third he always carried SONS

What to Feed Hens IN Winter.

Methodical care is advised among
the poultry, by men who have had a
good deal of experience in this line.
Feed small grain in the morning by
scattering it broadcast among the
scratching shed litter. At noon, give
a half-feed. Before Idark, give corn
oats or ground feed scaldsd and used
while warm. This should not be scat
tered over:litter. but put in troughs Of
shallow vessels provided for this espe-
cial purpose.
Two or three times during the week,
give a mixed ration of cabbage, potato,
turnip. beet-almost any vegetable, in
fact-cut up rather finely by being run
through feed grinder. On alternate
days, give ground bone or pulverized
oyster shells. Coarse sand will answer
very well II there is nothing else at
hand. Once a week, relish Of meat
should be provided. Here scraps from
the kitchen can be utilized to advan-
tage. A varied diet of this kind ought
to keep hens in the best possible con-
dition for laying regularly throughout
the entire winter season. - Outing
