To Improve the Weed.

The Bureau of Plant Industry of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in cooperation with the Ken
lucky Agricultural Experiment Station
at Lexington has begun a series of ex-
periments in tobacco breeding with a
view to improving the plant in those
sections where it is grown in Kentucky.
1t is hoped by seed selection and blend
ing qualities to much improve, the value
Of the Kentucky product, both in quality
and quantity. In furthering these ex-
periments several sub-stations will be
located in different sections, so that the
seed of the improved varieties may be
put to immediate use by the neighbor-
ing tobacco growers. At the present
time, the authorities state, there are
almost numberless types and varieties
of tobacco grown in Kentucky.

1t Wasn't His.

An urchin who occasionally ventured
behind the scenes of a theatre on the
lowerEast Side of New York during re-
hearsals was one day observed by one
of the actors sitting in corner, love-
ingly cycling huge sandwich which he
held in his grimy hands, says Harpers'
Weekly. He regarded it for a few
moments, and then, cautiously lifted
the top layer, extracted a piece of
pickle and ate it; then he closed it
down again very carefully and ac-
curately made all as before. A few
moments later he repeated the perfor-
nance, taking out another piece of
pickle and small fragment of meat.
and again carefully restoring the sand
witch to its original form. After
another short interval he took out more
pickle and more meat, so that now
there was very little of the original
middle layer left, and again he closed
it up carefully.
What are you doing that for,
Tommy" the actor asked. That's
no way to eat,a sandwich. Why don't
you eat it all if you want, and not pick
at it like that?"
Tommy lifted scornful eye to the
actors uncomprehending face and NUT
tered laconically:
''Tain't mine"

Remarkable Recovery.

One of the most interesting cases be-
fore the Tri-State Medical Association
which met at Ashland last week, was
that of baggage master Joe Miller,
who shot himself on a C. & O. train
near Winchester last March. The
wound was thought to be fatal at the
time, but he has almost entirely re-
covered and his recovery is ar en- akable
one. The bullet entered kthe under
part Of the chin, ranged upward, pass
ing through the tongue end crashing
into the brain, where it lodged, but
one andEa half inches back of the left
eye. There it now lies, and was photo
graphed by a committee of Ashland
doctors. The bullet is of SO caliber.
Miller seems in perfect health, and
says that the presence Of the ball there
does not give him much trouble, but
has affected his sense of smell to some
extent. The man, however, desires to
have it removed if it can be done in
safety, and is wiling 10 subject HIM
self to an operation for that porpose.

Girl Slaves In China.

A native writer in a Chinese publica-
ton remarks: when a girl is sold in
China she becomes the slave of her
owner and part of his property. She
no longer retains her freeborn rights,
but surrenders them all to the will of
those who own her. She receives no
compensation for her labor, but is
obliged to accept such raiment and
food as her owner may be pleased to
give her. In cases of tyranny or gross
cruelty she cannot appeal for redress.
She may be resOld, given away or cast
off in the streets at the arbitrary will
Of her master. All freedom is denied
her, and she remains a tool and chat
tel in the hands of her owner until she
is sold again or until death releases
her from her unwilling fate"

rird. Cross No Deep Seas.

A writer in the London Outlook
points out that no birds cross deep,
even if narrow, seas. The narrow Mad
agascar strait is impossible to birds,
though the north seas are a highway
for them. GOdwits pass from the Nile
to the. shores of Norfolk, though neigh
boring islands in an archipelago may
show no common stock. All birds, with
the possible exception of the sparrow,
are stirred to movement by different
causes-wind, weather, food, the bully
ing of parent and other birds. Birds
of prey drive off their young. Martins
love familiar caves. Successive ravens
have built on the same ledge for a cen
fury. The longer passages are only
made over shallow seas that once were
land, and when once a journey is made
the memory is strong enough to urge
q repetition. The change of home then
becomes not fashion, but an inherit
ed habit.

Catholics in Texas.

A %, O00-acre tract of land near Ray
mondville, Tex, will be colonized by
farmers from France, Belgium, Switzer-
land and Holland. The land has been

Keen Sense of HumOr.

There's nothing like a sense of
humOr, said Rear Admiral Buehler. at
Atlantic City. ''In a woman, in a
soldier, in sailor, in a clerk, a sense
of humor is help and blessing
through life. At the same time, even
a sense of humor may exist in excess.
l, for my part, shouldn't care to have
so great sense of humor as a British
soldier once heard about.
This soldier was ordered to be
fiogged. During the fogging he laugh

all the harder, but under the rain of
blows the soldier laughed.
What are you laughing at ?" the
sergeant finally asked.

LESSON FROM THE BLIND BEGGAR
Faith which Made Him whole Neces-
snry 10 Salvation.

Rev. Daniel f. jenkins of the Presby-
terrain Theological seminary occupied the
First Presbyterian pulpit Sunday night and
drew few lessons from the miracale of the
Savior restoring the sight of the blind beg
gar. Bartinaeus He said: "Bartinaeus had
little by little caught the story which was
going around OF the healing power of the
Savior, how He had made the deaf to hear,
the lame to walk. the dumb TO speak and
best OF all to him. the blind to see. AS he
sat by the gate of Jericho he got kindly in
formation, as the subject was on the lips
OF all. He must have noticed the perver-
sity with which fellow countrymen were
discussing. the situation. He cared little
what gave TO Jesus His magical powers, nor
how they were accounted for. He cared
little for the prejudices, for he was after the
facts.
They did not want a messiah as Jesus
was, they wanted n political messiah. Bar
tinaeus wished all he heard was true and
this attitude Is half the battle in the search
for truth. A cure for doubt in reference to
salvation is belief i'm God and a moral and
spiritual sense of need. The cause of doubt
ia not an intellectual defect nor a lack of
intelligence. II all doubts which men en-
courage TO Justify a lack of religious life
were put aside the way would he clear
Many close their eyes to what they know
TO be true TO justify themselves for not
dealing honestly with God.
''The case of Bartinaeus was too desperate
TO be led astray by doubts. The grim
reality TO this man made him earnest and
honest, and he pondered over 1t because il
had possibility OF hope. The first step to
overcome doubts is to have a sense OF need,
TO be blind to sin and to have the burden OF
guilt removed from his soul
Must man understand all the healing
arts before he takes advice OF a physician ?
No man can philosophize himself into the
kingdom of heaven. He must come to a
sense of need and then salvation is simply
a matter of offer. The ministry is striving
to I'll the hearts Of men with a sense OF

PULPIT TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN

FEARLESS IN PERFORMANCE OF ANY DUTY
Integrity of Heart and Independence
of Action Two CharscterizinE EIe-
ments OF Martyred Presidents

A Lincoln memorial service was held yes
terday morning al st. Mary's Avenue Con-
gresational church, the pastor, Rev. bucius
Olmsted Baird, preaching on the topic,
The Life Purpose OF Abraham Lincoln
The words from the seventy-second psalm
so he fed them according to the integrity
Of his heart" furnished the text and the
leading thought Of the sermon. Rev. Mr..
Baird said in substance
Lincoln found hungry nation. For
bread. our dcbaters had given stones Of
controversy and scorpions of vltuperation
The people hungered for the truth, but
they received Biblical sophistrles. Missouri
compromises and Wilmot provisos. Then
appeared this man from the western clear
Ing. The color of the ground was in him.
the red earth. the tang and odor of primeval
things. He fed them with the integrity Of
his heart He could not be turned aside
from that which he conceived to he the
exaet truth. When his political friends
urged him to leave out portions of his
speech because they were impolitic and
would surely lead TO defeat, Lincoln re-
piled: i would rather be defeated with
this expression in tho speech and uphold
and discuss It before the people, than be
victorious without it. He never shrank
from an unpopular cause when he believed
It TO be right. In Lincoln was indicated
the greatness Of real goodness and the
goodness Of real greatness.
His personal independence resulted from
this integrity OF his heart. one could not
imagine a mans trying to move Abraham
Lincoln from a mature decision on ques-
ton of right any more than he would
think OF trying to move Gibraltar with n
crow-bar. His opinion was something more
than an argument for against the sub
ject In hand He seemed to impress his
hearers with the fact that he had candidly
viewed all sides of a question so that his
Judgment had the fnality OF court de-
cision.
Imagine this man of integrity OF heart
and independence of action going through
the temple of our political life today! How
he would overturn senate tables. where
modern money changers surrender indie
pendent action to corporation lobbyists, and
scourgc n senatorial attorney that would
accept large annual retainers paid from
other peoples money, while lie made no
pretense Of rendering any adequate SER
vice therefor. How he would repudiate the
sophistry whereby man Mormon can
swear to avenge his law-breaking church
against his government and then expect to
hold up his head as senator to swear to
defend his government from it's enemies.

peoples welfare. and you have made 1t a
