Rev. DR.. Cranes subject was THE
Modern Outlet for Heroism." The speak
er began by quoting a poem picturing old
time chivalry, after which he said In part:
'The field OF battle is closed TO heroism;
not because men are less heroic, but be-
cause the art OF killing men has be-
come so highly perfected that the per-
sonal courage OF men Is not now so reqri-
site as in the olden days. Bullets have
been displaced by ballots, brute force
by brains and morals.
THE modern outlet for heroism must
be in a new field. must find new weapons
and must have a new spirit. The new
field, spirit and weapons are to be found
In the passive virtues as compared with
the active virtues. The passive virtues
are those which shine more and more
unto the perfect day"
Rev. Mr.. Wadsworth preached upon
'Toilers in Royal Poateries." He said
in part:
1--WE are coming today more and more
TO recognize the dignity OF labor and TO
care for the comfort OF him who labors
Never in the history OF the world has
there been so profound respect shown 20
the one who tolls. The larger and more
influential and abiding power which goes
forth from the life OF a workman may not
be In the Immediate conscious and in
tended act, but rather Il is from tho un-
conscious and unintended which springs
from the character within. 1t Is not how
great a thing one does. but the motive
with which he does it,"
The exercises of anniversary week will
be continued In a recital by pupils OF the
elocution department this evening. who
will give scene from THE Merchant OF
Venice with other exercises, under Tie
direction OF Miss A. Jennie Palmer of the
department
The annual meeting of the corporation
was held this morning at 1880.

The Growing Of COWpeas for
Forage Seed.
IWeekIy AerIenItural Letter.l


The growing OF cowpeas for hay
is becoming quite common in many
parts Of Missouri. The frequent
failure OF clover on many OF our
more level prairie lands Is partly re.
sponsible for this practice. In fact
the cowpea has several advantages
over clover as hay crop when
properly handled. They are much
surer than clover, requiring only -
days to make a crop instead Of two
seasons. aud unless properly cured,
the hay Is less dusty and just as nu-
tritious. The disadvantages lie IN
the greater time required TO cure and
the resulting uncertainty Of securing
% well cured hay.
Ii has been the practice at the ex.
pertinent station when sowing peas

In this ease the ground is tnickly
