The man who continued in the bus
iness OF teaching school all his life
was looked upon with kind OF pity
ing contempt by the men OF the real
business world. Someone had lately
said to him: "Cory. why the devi!
don't you quit teaching school and

business world looked at II: and that
was abou, the way II worked out. He
hoped .he time was not Tar distant
when the women who couldn't get
married would have the teaching bus
inefs. In the meantime he was do
ing what he could as a school super

such As did not want to teach. He
had married off some four OF his
teachers within brief period and he
had been suspected OF running mat

of these is described in Iowa Home

feet and is set several feet in the
ground, so that it will be firm enough

which the rear end OF the wagon box
rests when it is to be raised from the

Savin~ tho BRIDGE.

The Army of the Cumberland was
toiling slowly across Tennessee. The
advance guard had bivoucked for the
night, with pickets in sight of the
enemy, guarding a bridge at the only
practicable crossing Of a narrow, deep
ragged bluffs. The author of "Old
Army Sketches" tells how the bridge
was saved:
Delay meant the destruction of the
bridge, for the commander of the army
could see that the enemy was tearing
up the bridge flooring.
"Dunkard," said the general, chat
bridge must be saved at any cost.
Lead your men to the charge"
A column of cavalry filed into the
road, and without sound Of bugle or
command other than Dunkard's "fol-
low me, men," they dashed for the
bridge.
The enemy's guns had already reach
ed the opposite side of the stream and
were about to unlimber. party of
sappers were pulling up planks when
Dunkard, at the head of his column,
Numbered on to the board floor.
Dashing forward at heading speed,
with his saber arm full extended
across the roadway, as If to Indicate
that none should pass him, he sud
denly discovered a yawning gap III
the bridge flooring. Drawing in the
reins DunkarG steadied his horse for
the leap. Landing safely, he found
himself alone on the enemy's side, but
he dashed on with a loud and ringing
cheer.
The laundering noise of the charge
on the bridge and the fire Of advancing
troops caused the enemy to break, and
Dunkard found himself alone with the
guns, for the gunners had scampered
in all directions.
His men dismounted and came over
the gap by means of the stringers, and
quickly joined him. The way was
clear and the rest was easy. The
bridge was rapidly repaired, and the
crossing of the army began.
I'VE are proud of you, Dunkard ::
said the adjutant How did you ever
have the courage to jump over twenty
feet of water to a pile of loose floor
ing boards?"
Didn't you hear my old captain
say, Dunkard, that bridge must be
saved at any cost. Lead your men
to the charged There was nothing
else to do"

HAVE BUG FARM IN TEXAS.
Ladybug Is Encouraged to Prey

Ladybug Is Encouraged to Prey
Upon the Green Bug.
r. T. Miller, State commissioner OF
agriculture, wants to turn loose mill
ions of ladybugs upon the wheat fields
of Texas to kill the green bugs which
are destroying that crop.
The Legislature was asked to make
an appropriation Of $4,000 for the
purpose of gathering vast numbers of
the ladybugs together and colonizing
them upon the wheat lands The request
was made in all seriousness, but the
committee to which the bill was refer
red looked upon it as a joke and it
was killed.
The State has a bug farm in OPERA
ton at College Station. 1t is conducted
by A F. Conrad, who has demonstrate
ed to his own satisfaction that the
green bug is the natural prey Of the
ladybug.
The latter is a voracious eater and
feasts all day on green bugs without
satisfying her appetite. The appear
ance Of the green bug pest every six or
seven years is attributed to the fact
that the ladybugs, having wiped out
their natural prey, starve to death
themselves.
When the ladybugs are all gone or
greatly reduced in numbers the green
bugs begin to multiply with marvellous
rapidity and in a short time they be-
come a pest. They commit their raw
ages for year or two until the lady
bugs learn about it and increase in
numbers sufficiently to destroy them.
If the Legislature had made the
appropriation asked it was planned by
Mr. Conradi to go to some Of the East
Texas counties where vast numbers of
the ladybugs are found and gather a
few million of them and ship them into
the suffering wheat-growing region of
the State. Mr.. Miller says that if the
appropriation had been made promptly
so that the ladybugs could have been
distributed over the wheat fields
earlier in the season several million
bushels of wheat would have been
saved.
1t is estimated that the green bugs
through their ravages this season will
cause a falling off of not less than
100000 bushels of wheat in the yield
in Texas. Mr. Conrad thinks he could
have gathered enough ladybugs in one
county in East Texas to destroy every
tn Io hos
of the State.

SOUL CULTURE.

BY Rev John s. Heis1er.
Text: Grow in grace, and in the
knowledge of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ"-II Peter i'll. IS.
We are expected to cultivate every
part of our being. Physical culture and
mental culture must aways claim our
attention. But above every other kind
of culture is soul culture, as the soul
is the supreme part of our being. After
God made mans body out of the dust
of the ground he breathed into him the
breath of :ife and he became a living
soul 1t was Gods own nature which
He breathed into him, thus making him
a partaker of the divine nature.
But this divine nature was lost in
the transgression, and now it is neces-
slry that God shall do for fallen man
what He did for the first man, to
breathe into his dead soul the life of
God Here is the doctrine Of regenera-
ton or the new birth, when we are
born of God, which consists in right
eOusness and true holiness Here is the
foundation Of soul culture.
And here we call attention to the
provisions which God has made for our
advancement in the knowledge and love
Of God. First, we have the holy scrip
lures which are able to make us wise
unto salvation. This Book is lamp
to our feet and q light to our path.
Here is set forth every duty which we
owe to God and men, and if any ext
cency arises in our lives not directly
nOinted out in the letter. our Savior
points out great principle which may
always govern us He furnishes us
with his brief summary Of Gods law,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, mind, soul and strength
and thy neighbor as thyself.' In this
is fulfilled all the law and the prophets.
Some things in the scriptures are not
easily understood, but everything which
relates to practical life is as clear as
sunbeam.

The Small Gar6nn

Lie small garden is the one that
gives the owner pleasure. Probably
the majority of those who cuItivata
small gardens make no profit, but ac
lGaIly suffer loss, when the crops are
compared with the prices received and
the cost OF seeds, fertilizers and labor
But there is considerable pleasure do
rived, the value of which cannot be
estimated. No matter how small the
plot owned or rented may be, the one
who can bestOw portion of his time
10 the cultivation of crops the coming
spring should do so. There are some
things grown in a garden that cannot
easily be procured in market, when the
freshness and quality are considered.
No one can buy tomatoes in market
equal to those taken from the vines
and placed in fresh condition on the
table. If the plot is very fertile and
is not equal to more than half an acre,
the amount of produce that may be
grown thereon will supply a whole fam
lily from early spring until late in the
fall. Beginning with onions and peas,
beets, carrots, parsnips and early cab
bage, followed with string beans, Lima
beans, tomatoes, corn, turnips and late
cabbage, two crops can be grown on
the same location during the season.
Potatoes need not be planted in a gar
den, as this crop demands protection
from the beetle. IL April or May, if
desired, small strawberry patch may
be started, which will come into bear
ing the following spring.

opinions; he is not fearing punish
ment for intellectual vagaries or credal
shortcomings. So if you answer his
deep questionings with a demand that
he accept certain doctrines, that he
force himself to faith in certain facts
about even the greatest of the sons Of
men, your remedy seems unrelated to
his disease; he turns away empty and
unhelped.
And yet the answer that satisfied
men long ago has in it all men need to-
day. But it contains more than we
realize. 1t means something more by,
far than the formal intellectual acQui-
escence with certain historical state
ments. No man ever solved the prob
lens of his life or found firm places
for his feet by seeking his way through
any intellectual propositions
But if we can but see the significance
of that life lived long ago; if we can
but receive its wonderful message, then
we find life, we overcome the past, and
enter upon our own salvation. 1t is not
words about Jesus that save men; it IS
taking him and all his life as the word,
the message about God and man, about
the way of life, and the truth of all
things, that leads the life out into full
glory and freedom.
Here was life, lived on the plane
Of our own, meeting our needs, sor-
rows and assaults, yet marveously
clear, uninterruptedly in touch with
heaven, revealing supernatural sources
of spiritual strength, touched with the
feeling of our infirmities, but show
ing the possibility of overcoming them
by yet closer touch with the infinite.
Here was a life that ever turned it's
face to the Father of all; life that
looked up and lived up. Sin is living
down, missing, and falling away from
the mark of mans possibilities. Saliva
ton is living up, growing, going for
ward, reaching toward the mark. Catch
the trend of that life, look on life with
his eyes, turn in the direction he faces.
In other words, believe that he is right
and set yourself with him.
Here was a life that ever believed in
the possibilities of better things. Jesus
had faith in the possibility of good
ness; he believed in virtue, honor,
truth He may not have seen much of
these things in others; but he believed
there could be more, and he looked on
the virtues as things not unattainabe
for himself. A man indeed Is lost when
he has ceased to believe in the POSSIBLE
ity of goodness for himself or in his
fellows.
Nor was this all; here was a life i'll
the beauty of harmony and helpfulness
with all other men. He was hated by
the breeders Of discomfort and preju-
dices because he was by his own life
teaching men to live together as broth
ers. His was not only face turned
toward Father in heaven; 1t was
tender face and helping hand turned
toward all his fellows.
To believe on Jesus Christ may have
little to do with questions of history
or of philology; it has to do with see
ing in him and in his life the best in
depreciation of life, the secret Of our
living, the message for our own man.
hood; with seeing life through his
eyes, setting the face in the direction
that he lived, seeing God and man as
he saw them, finding in him our teach
er, following him as our master in the
art of living.

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE sAvEDp

BY Henry +. Cope.
"Sirs, what must l do to be saved?
Believe on the Lord Jesus

The answer that satisfied that par
ticular man at that particular time
may not satisfy every man to-day. At

comes with such question and re-

at all he turns away with a puzzled

Of his difficulties the answer had but

The man who asks this question in

illogical definitions of salvation, he
seeks to find freedom from certain

with apprehension of a yaWning pit !;
he is filled with Ioathing at an unsatis-

With the true man, to be sGTed is
something other than being taken just

spot where he may be protected from
the consequences of his own evil-doings.
He desires change in character rather
