Henry Grady O.. Rum,

Tonight 1t enters humble home to
strike the roses from a woman's cheek,
and tomorrow it challenges this repub-
lie In the halls of congress.
To-day it strikes crust from the
lips of a starving child, and tomorrow
levies tribute from the government
iteelf.
There is 20 cottage humble enough
to escape II, no palace strong enough
to shut it out.
1t defies the law when 1t cannot
coerce suffrage.
1t is fsxible to Ca Die, but merciless
in victory.
1t is the mortal enemy of peace and
order, the despoiler of men and terror
of women, the cloud that shadows the
face of children, the demon that has
dug more graves and sent more souls
unshrived to judgment than all the
pestilences that have wasted life since
God sent the plaques to Egypt, and all
the wars since Joshua stood beyond
Jericho.
1t comes to ruin, and 1t shall profit
mainly by the ruin of your sons and
mine.
1t comes to mislead human souls
and to crush human hearts under Its
rumbIing wheels.
1t comes to bring gray-hatred moth
ers down In shame and sorrow to their
graves.
1t comes to change the wife's love
into despair and her pride into shame.
1t comes to still: the laughter on the
lips of little children.
II comes to stiff, all the music OF
the home and fill 1t with silence and
des Jlation.
1t comes to ruin your body and
it knows it must measure its prosperity
by the swiftne aud certainty with
which it wrecks this world.

Wasting Feed.

The time OF the year has arrived
when all stock should be safely housed
at least through nights and stormy
days. The question of how much and
what to feed to obtain best results Is a
serious one. The farmers OF the coun-
try can be divided into about three
classes. The first class, which are In
the m jority, are wasting feed by feed
ing Just enough for maintenance or
simply keeping their animals alive,
and are not getting the growth they
might. The second class are those
that realize that you cannot starye
money into an animal and 80 feed him
with such an open hand that his stom-
ach either gets overtayed and the anil
NAL becomes diseased or else gets over
tat. / am now speaking of the stock
that are to be carried over winter and
not fattened.
1t only pays to fatten an animal
once, and that is just before he is to be
sold. The farmer that over fattens bis
growing stock is also a loser. The
third class are In the minority; they
are the ones that study the require
ments of their animals and the quality
OF their feeds and aim at all times to
feed the proper feed in just the right
amount to keep up nice growth and
healthy condition but not to waite
feed by fattening the animals at time
when fat is only hindrance to their
proper development. The time has
come when the successful farmer must
make study of his farm animals and
their needs. He who looks into the
matter closest everything else being
equal) will succeed best. Men that
have made the great success In the busi-
ness world have been the men that
have given the closest attention to their
business.-Forest Henery.

"A Miss Is as Good as a Mile"

We have all used the saying, "a
miss Is as good as mile; yet 1t is
doubtful If any know the origin OF the
proverb.
Before the days of tho great
Charlemagne, when King Peplin ruled
the Frankish Empire, there dwelt two
friends, Amis and AmiIe. According
to the story of Turpin, these men
were so strongly attached to each
other that Amlle risked his life to save
the life and fortune of Amis, and later,
when Aml'e was suffering from leprosy,
Amis sacrificed bis own children in or
der that his friend might be bathed In
their blood and cured.
Thus came that peculiarly true
proverb which will no doubt remain
With US until the end OF time.

The Farmers Greatest Need.

! The Cotton Journal.
| Turn it and twist 1t as you will, the
greatest neen of the Southern trainers
today, that which will make their iu.
ture pathway bright, happy and pros
porous, is education-the better train
ing of the mind, so that by intellectual
activity, the pitfalls of the persent may
be overcome, and the roadway OF the
future made smooth and easy. The
man who does not study, read, think
and act intelligently will always be re-
guarded as a mere mechanic to achieve
results through the influence of some
master mind behind him.
The highest type OF an intelligent,
cultivated husbandry viii, at all times,
achieve the greatest results from the
soil, and, at the same time, win proper
remuneration for the products OF their
labor from the world with which they
deal. As We ring out the old year and
welcome in the new, let us remember
that the principal obstacles which have
beset our pathway through the years
gone by, were due to ignorance of the
true principles OF life which make sue
cess sure and certain. We have exer-
clsed our muscles too much and used
our brain too little. The world at
large, which has fattened and grown
rich on the products OF our labor, has
exercised its brain power as leading
asset. The farmers have been the
draft-horses of production, their pro-
ducts the chariot, and the captains OF
commerce and finance have held the
lines sDd used the whip to fill their
own Golfers as a premium on their
superior brain. No great fight In
modern times can be whipped through
the collective cooperation OF muscular
force, no matter In whom the leader
ship may be invested Or how sacred
the trust represented. The friction of
brain against brain is the only medium
through which the success of all COM
binations is made possible, and the
farmers must begin to realize that fact
more now than ever in the past.

THE OPEN FIRE.

John Charles Mcneil.
Ills the crumple OF FOOTBALLS soft in the
snow,
The crunch, crunch, crunch, where the
embers glow,
'Tis the Hutter OF slow winds, stirring
the trees
The murmur OF distant, reckoning
Whatever the heart of a man may de-
sire
He sees or he hears in the winter
nights fire.
Alas, for the Pickering dleams that
flare
One moment, and pass to the upper
But the darker the night the brighter
the gleam,
And the sadder the heart the gladder
the dream.
The lonelier he who may muse at the
The sweeter his vision OF all his de-
sire.
Alas, tor gray ashes and smoke that is
fled,
AS soul fees from body when dreams
all are dead
But between the wing'd smoke and the
bed OF gray ashes,
Lie mounting on earth, the eager
tl,me flashes,
And upward untiring doth climb and
aspire
Mans EN- blem and nature's-the win
ter nights fire.

Refining Influences.

Lauderdale Enterprise
Let us study the value Of the teauti-
ful. The influence OF the beautiful is
largely OF subconscions nature, it is
silent, permeating and powerful. The
ministry OF the beautiful has refining
effect A taste for music, poetry, pic
lures, etc, tends to destroy the attrac-
ton for the vulgar. A home of beauty,
OF taste and refinement always tends
to elevate and ennoble the mind, and
cultivate the spirit OF contentment.
Beauty fills the world, as we'll es
heaven, If We only have eyes to see
it. 1t is open to all. The rose is as
fragrant, the lily as white and the hya-
cinth as delicately blue, when culti-
vated by the poor, as by the jeWeled
fingers of the wealthy.

The Gentle Art Of Pleasing a Eus.
band.

Ers. Lindsay Patterson, in Charlotte Observer.
Ii you have a bran new husband
and are bit uncertain Just what to
do with him, but are quite certain
that yon want the dove OF peace to
roost in the family martin box down
In the back yard, give that hu. band
sugar. Don't bother about being
either brilliant or reasonable. For
some inscrutable reason q man pre-
ie1s to think that while be is reason
incarnate, a woman has no reason
whatever--only intuition. It's q
harmless delusion and let him enjoy
it. And so, while the clear, cold
light OF reason shines like search
light In your brain keep 1t to your
self. Searchlights are better for bat
tleships and dangerous places along
the coast. A tallow Dip Is safer for
the family altar.
Deyote your spare moments to keep
ing the sugar bowl we'll filed. As ir
being brilliant, the most brilliant
speech you can make Will not attract
and rivet yodr mans attention so
quickly and 80 lastingly as the simple
remark that you wonder what you've
done to be 30 lucky as to get him He
listens to that speech with delight on
Monday with increasing joy cn Tres-
day tender gratitude on Wednesday
greets 1t with happy smile on Thurs
day halls 1t jryously on Friday asks
tor 1t on Saturday and on Sunday hur
ries home from church In order to hear
1t once more And when all is said
isn't it n comfort In world that de
mands so much, that criticises go mer-
cilessly, to pass your ex sterce with an
individual who asks for so little-j1n
sugar!

When Girls Should Marry.

Home Magazine.
Girls should not marry until there is
absolutely NJ other way cut of it,
That is to say, they should be so tre-
mendcusly in love that they cannot
live apart from their beloveds. The
n utual agreement marriages and the
marriages because single life is con-
sidered a disgrace are gone Into ar
cient history. OH m lids are not rven
bachelor girls any n,re they ere busi-
ness women. Give thought to the
unmarried women everywhere; many
OF them are heads Ct institutions or
hold spleEdid situations with large
firms No ore refers to them as old
maids. In fact, there are many men
who would like to be where they are.
And their independence Is delightfully."-
remarkable. To be sure, women as q
class do not succeed as we'll as men in
this generation, but that is easily ae.
coupted for. The boy is born Into a
trade atmosphere and has been for
centuries AS child, he rubs against
more worl1 propositions. Women as
bread winners are new to the world,
bnt in pr portion they are further ad-
vanced and more coml etent than men.
Rather than marry for the sake of
home, women should support them
selves, Tor in nine cases out OF ten, II
no love exists, ehe will either have to
do it anyway or everlastingIy dun her
husband for funds.

strength OF CrocodiIc's Jaws.

From he Chicd IN Daily Ncus
Sir Samuel Baker in his book on wild beasts
says that the power Of The Jaws OF the crocodile
IL terrlnc.
Once he had the meta II Of n large hook tho
thickness OF ordinary telegraph wire com
pletPly bent together. the barbed point being
pressed tightly against the shank md rem
dered useless. This compression was caused
by the snap OF the crocodile's jaws when
selling a live duck which he had used IA
bait. the hook being fastened beneath the
wing. On another occasion he found a fish
weighing seventy pounds bitten clean through
as II divided by a knife. This aRnin was
the work OF the swapping jaws OF a crocodile.
A Frenchman, Paul Bert. once made ex-
periments on the strength Of a crooodile's
Jaws by means OF n d~ynamometer. lie found
that a crocodile weighing 100 pounds exerted
HfoTce OF sos pounds In closing his Jaws. The
lion has an enormous jaw power. An African
traveller once pushed the butt end OF his gun
into a lions, mouth. and the pressure OF tho
laws cracked 1t as though II had been struck
by a steam hammer.
