his life was he caused more trouble

during his pastorate in the Windy
City" The embarrassment was SO
great that he always carries manu-
script for the newspapers when he
speaks in that city.

Failure of Cooperative Stores.

The history of cooperative busi-
ness ventures in the United States,
presented in the report of the Wis
consin Commissioner of Labor, af-
fords no encouragement to future
enterprises of this character.
After describing the earlier expert
ments, the Commissioner says that
no great progress was made with CO.
operative stores until 1867, when the
Patrons of Husbandry, or grangers,
were organized, but by poor business
methods, together with popular dis
trust and industrial depression, the
State agent purchasing system was
abolished.
The great majority of the cooper
atiye stores established after the
panic of 1873 met with failure. OF
the fifty started by the Knights of
Labor between 1871 and 1877, few
are still in operation. The Farmers
Alliance Exchange, which transacted
a business of s1O,O0O,0OO in 1890,
fell away"
The Commissioner observes that II
is now apparent that no lasting, eff.
fective reform in the industrial situa-
ton in this country can ever be ac.
complished by the application of CO.
operative doctrines. - Philadelphia
Ledger.

Optimism and Health.

Have you ever noticed that the
pessimist is always an invalid? He
may be upon his feet and moving
ments and complainings. Do not be-
lieve that his pessimism is due to his
ailments. No; his ailments are due
to his pessimism.
Pessimism is as destructive a force
in ones health as it is in ones pur-
pose and performance. The pessi-
mist seeks the shadows and wllfully
deprives himself of the life giving
sunshine. The sun. the flowers, the
trees and the green earth smile at
him in vain. The most common dis
ease he encounters is neurasthenia,
an ailment brought on by evil power
of mind over nerves.
Hypochondria, which breeds in
idleness as malaria breeds in stag
nant pools, atrophies the nerves and
rots the body. The common ten
dency to magnify small ailments, in
order to excite sympathy. or because
the mind is given to nothing else to
dwell upon, causes these ailments in
time to become real and serious.
Emerson may not have meant all
this when he said: "a sick man is
villain" But there is no mistaking
the precise meaning of Thomas Hux-
ley, who said time was coming
when a man who became i'll will be
regarded as a fool or a criminal

Soda Mines,

California miners are now as any
ious to find soda beds as they were
to strike a good gold mine in the
days Of 40. Manufacturers are
elamoring for soda for domestic and
medicinal as well as commercial uses.
Pure soda commands fine price, and
the great California desert has been
found to contain vast deposits of
salines, notably soda In at least one
OF the dry lakes. Here then is the
miners opportunity, and they are
hocking to the soda lakes in great
numbers. Soda occurs in varying
forms in this region, but the only
beds which are of value from a mer-
camille point OF view, or which fur
nish quantities enough of the saline
salts TO be worthy of operation are
in dried out lake beds. The largest
and most important of all of these
is the one known as Dandy Lake,
some thirty miles southeast of the
small desert town of Dandy in San
Bernardino County. This lake not
only contains vast beds of pure soda,
but about eighteen million tons of
salt as well. In point of fact this
lake is probably the most valuable
saline deposit in the world, and as yet
only its borders have been entered
by prospectors; development has
hardly begun.

Death of a Great Tree.

tree on Magnolia avenue. What was
once one of the most beautiful por,

an unsightly blot. Nature cannot in
hundred years restore q beauty that
was destroyed In few hours, and
the trees beyond will for many years
continue to stretch out their long,
bare and unsightly arms in mute pro-
test against the wanton destruction
which revealed their nakedness and
unsightliness. 1t was the finest tree

Farmers and Bankers.

In speech before the convention
of bankers recently held in this city,
E. d. Durham, of Illinois, had this to
say about the farmer and country
banks:
"As land is the source of all wealth
1t is a fine sort of property for the
banker to own. While 1t may be a
bit slow of conversion into cash, 1t
has IA standard value in time of
stress, making 1t attractive to the
most timid customer. In times of
panic and stress a mortgage on a
piece of land is better than any other
security. have never seen the time
when the farmers mortgage could
not be. converted into cash without
discount.
THE relations between the farmer
and banker have now changed. The
farmer Is still a borrower and the
banker is still lender. but the man
who dictates the terms ia now ON the
other side of the counter. The Amer
lean farmer is an uncrowned king.
This is exactly as It ought to be, for
on the well-belng of our food produc-
ing community depends our prosper
ity as a nation" a
