SELFISHNESS.

Here is delightful little allegory
from the old, old literature Of far-off
India. l found it in little compilation
made by Paul Carus, called "Karma. :"
There was a terrible robber and ma
rauder, who died and went into tor
ment. After suffering there for what
seemed an interminable time, he began
to pray to Buddha to have mercy upon
him.. Now it is the law of Karma that
evil deeds lead to destruction but good
deeds lead to eternal life. The
least act of goodness bears fruit con-
tanning new seeds of goodness, and
they grow until the soul reaches its
final perfection. When the Lord heard
the cry of the robber he said ''Kandata,
did you ever perform one kind act? If
so, it will now return and help you TO
rise again. But you cannot be rescued
unless this intense suffering has dis
PEELED the .conceit of selfishness. and
purified your soul from lust, envy and
vanity"
Kandata remained silent for time
trying to think of one good deed in his
very selfish, wicked life. Finally he
said, "Once upon time / saw spider
crawling on the ground, and l stepped
aside so not to crush its life"
''Very well, replied the Lord, who
straightway sent down a spider on a
cobweb and bade Kandata take hold of
the web and climb up. The web was so
strong that the poor sinner was enabled
to climb out of the flames, higher and
higher. But suddenly he looked below
him. and saw vast throng of his fell
low sufferers also hanging to the
thread. ''How can this thread hold
the weight of so many" he thought,
and straightway cried out, 'Let go the
web; it is mine" At once the web
broke, and he fell back into He'll. The
illusion of Self was still upon Kandata.
He did not know the miraculous power
of an unselfish desire to rise upward.
1t is thin like a cobweb, and yet it will
carry millions of people. The more
who climb, the easier will be the eff
forts of all But as soon as in heart
the though arises, This is mine; let
no one else partake of it." the thread
breaks, and he falls back into the old
selfhood, and selfhood is He'll.
Hell is only selfshness and egotism.
Every time you allow an envious or
selfish thought to dominate you, every
time you begrudge another the chance
to rise, you are endangering your own
happiness and lessening your own Sc
curity. We are all hanging upon the
spiders thread. Look up and climb,
and say. "God strengthen those below. -
There is room for all to climb to
Heaven.-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

EVERY MALE CAME TO AMERICA

The lure of the United States as a
land of opportunity and wealth to
the people of Hungary, Europe, has
brought about curious state of affairs
in the little village of Kerisova, that at
the last census had population of
$500 souls.
One by one the male residents heard
the call across the water and emigrated
in patches until the mayor was the only
adult male to remain by the village.
Finally, he also succumbed to the re-
ports of good wages and golden
chances in America sent back by his
fellow-townsmen, and, packing his
trunk, made his way to the emigrant
ship.
AS result of this exodus of males,
the women of Kerisova have just
elected one of their sex to the position
of mayor, and other female residents
have been elected to fill the remainder
of municipal Offices.

IRvINGToN. VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST %, 1907

troyed. If % per cent. of the dogs in
the Old Dominion could be planted two
feet deep at the root of apple trees or
good grape vines and the breeding of
dogs be restricted by heavy tax on
all female dogs, it would add many
thousands of dollars to the value of
the poultry and egg industry in the
State and many more thousands to the
sheep-breeders' revenue. 1t would also
remove one source-and a great one
too-of much i'll will and ''bad blood'
from every neighborhood in our Com
monwealth. All other domestic ami
mails have an interinsic value. We
work the horse for pleasure and profit;
we milk the cow and convert her into
beef; we clip the sleeps wool and
make lamb chops and mutton from his
carcass; the pig gives us hams, bacon,
spareribs, sausage and lard. What
does the dog give us? Trouble, sleep
less nights and rabies.
If the next Legislature wants to con-
fer lasting benefit on the agricultural
population OF Virginia it will pass a
stringent dog law. Put license tax
of So on every female dog and 81 on
every male, authorize the killing of
every dog that does not wear the
license tag, and give every one the
legal right to kill any dog caught in the
act of destroying property. Let those
people who want to keep dogs for
companions(D pay for the privilege.
CAL HUSSELMAN.
We strongly endorse this suggestion.
The colored vote which always stood
for the dogs is now thing Of the past.
Let the white voters insist that their
representatives protect their property
from these rowing ours, which largely
are owned by improvident colored peo-
pie. The poorer they are, the more
dogs they keep. The man who values
dog will not hesitate to pay tax for
the privilege of keeping one and will
see that he is well fed and stays at
home. Editor Planter.

RAPPAHANNOCK RIVER,
Some OF the Attractions Of Irving
ton, on Beautiful Carter's
Crock

THE following was written nv DIR
J. b. Hodgkin, and published IN his
home paper, Manassas Journal, and
has since been reproduced by several
papers in the State:l
Irvington, Lancaster Co., Va.
Tidewater folks like to get to the
mountains; and per contra-mountain
people sigh for the salt water and the
swash of the ocean tides. Both have
their attractions, and certainly in the
Old Dominion one may find in pleasant
proximity salt water and mountain
breezes. Here, along the Rappahan-
mock, close down by the Chesapeake,
find restfulness and quiet, far apart
from railway rattle and the smoke and
din of the swiftly moving trains. Here
no sound of the whistle of the locomo-
tive reaches the ear, for the nearest
one is at least thirty-fve miles away,
with two big rivers between. But the
steamers come and go with reasonable
frequency, the only vexation as to that
method of transit being that all that is
HNiAO"AA Va SAAOoN ASNlaILdllo VI CuC QccR
is that 1.-The boat is coming" This,
however, is not so great vexation as
might at first sight appear to the up
countryman, for there is a telephone
connection between the wharves, and
one can learn the whereabouts of the
boat away down or up the river and be
guided accordingly. Meantime he can
bring along his fishing tackle, and try
his luck in the briny waters of Carter's
Creek, or he can most likely hunt some
acquaintance who has pair of oyster
tongs, and take dozen fresh from the
water-oysters as are oysters.
The Rappahannock is 120 miles long
from the bay to the head of the tide
water Fredericksburg and is about
five miles wide at its mouth. Fol
forty miles its bed is covered will

NEEDS OF VIRGINIA.
Governor Swanson Points Them
Out TO a Commercial 0r9aniza-
finn

The Upper James River Valley I'm
provement League held its first annual
meeting and Governor Swanson was in
troduced. He declared that he had not
prepared any formal speech for the oc-
casion.
There is no State in the Union
which is possessed of the material re-
sources that Virginia has," said he.
There is no vegetable that grows, but
is grown on her virgin soil. and upon
her mountains blue in the dis tance, Craze
the finest cattle in the world. We have
the finest mineral exhibit at the James
town Exposition ever shown by any
State of these United States.
LET me tell you, gentlemen, that
the machinery of all the United States
could be turned by the water power of
Virginia.
TOO MANY SOAP BUBBLES.
eve have got TO stop making soap
suds and must start washing clothes.
Many States are like some people,
make lots of suds. but do no washing.
We want TO be the exception to this
class of bubble-blowers.
'The best way to develop the State
is by organization of leagues, such as
you have formed.
You can count on my earnest help
and cooperation to assist you in your
laudable task of development.
Recent censuses of the nation show
that the city people are going back to
the country. Electric cars and trains
help to distribute this population. tits
now up to the country people to
make the country inviting to the city
folks.
1--WE need agricultural labor here.
We need immigration. At my sugges-
tion the last Legislature empowered
Commissioner Koiner to bring immi-
grants to this State. He has done his
work wonderfully well: efficiently has
he served his State. The promise of
future accomplishments in labor lines
in Virginia gives brighter hopes than
does any other Southern State.
"You have country of fertile quail
tiles. 1t is broad enough to furnish in
dustrial laborers food. Bring man.
ufacturers to your district; feed their
laborers, and your section will prosper.
1 know of no portion of the State which
has the advantages of the James River
Valley.
"You can dam its water and have
deep water communications from one
point to another, and thus you can give
your manufacturers competitive route
to rival the railroads.
FIGHT THE ROADS, IF NECESSARY.
eff the railroads refuse lower and
more reasonable rates, let them COM
municate by water.
Eyes, gentlemen, you must fight the
transportation companies, if they do
not accede to your demands for lower
rates. Ask them peacefully; but if
they do not surrender. then go at them
tooth and nail, and if they do not give
up, force them to do so.
eff the railroads will not accede to
our persuasive purposes, then we will
go at them strenuously in true Virginia
style. We will have the same fair and
equitable rates as are given to oul
friends in other States, and if we don't
get them peacefully, we will know the
reason why"

A BUSINESS PARABLE.
You Cannot Fail to Appreciate the
Point In This Story.

Once farmer had 1,SOO bushels of
wheat, which he sold not to q single
grain merchant, but to 1900 different
dealers, a bushel each. A few of them
paid hIm cash, but far the greater
number said it was not convenient
then; they would pay later. A few
months passed and the mans bank ac-
count ran low. "How is that?" he
said. ''My 1,sOO bushels of grain
should have kept me in affluence until
another crop is raised, but l have
parted with the grain and have instead
only vast number of accounts, so
small and scattered that cannot get
around and collect fast enough to pay
expenses.
So he posted up public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. But few came. The rest
said, mine is only small matter, and
| will go and pay one of these days" I"
forgetting that, though each account
was very small, when all were put to-
gether they meant large sum to the
man. Things went on thus. The man
got to feeling so bad that he fell out of
bed and awoke and, running to his
granary, found his 1,S00 bushels of
wheat still safe there. He had only
been dreaming.
Moral-The next day the man went
to the publisher of his paper and said:
Here, sir, is the pay for your paper,
and when next years subscription is
due you can depend on me to pay it
promptly. I stood in position of an
editor last night, and / know how it
feels to have ones honestly earned
money scattered all over the country
in small amounts. "-Exchange.

BIRTHDAYS.

One Is a necklace,
Two is a charm,
Three is an amulet
On a round arm;
Four is garland
Of imagery when
The child-fancy climbs
TO the visions of men!
Five is ringlet
Around a sweet face;
Six is a curlyhead
Phantom of grace;
Seven is a glimmer,
A CLEAN of the life
Through schooldays foreboding
The far cry of strife!
Eight is ladder
That climbs to the stars
Blooms for it's standards
And gold for its bars;
Nine is a pathway
That leads far away
For little lads footsteps
Of fancy to stray!
Ten is a courier
From Dver the hills
A voice from the cities,
A call from the mills;
Eleven a message
From valleys of light
To childhearts grown eager
ForsG God and the right!
Then the sweet teens,
And the blooms that enfold
Girlhood and boyhood
With banners of goldl
To the music of morning,
The bugle's wild trill,
Up, up, and then over,
Far over, the hill!
Twenty, and thirty,
Ho, coursers, bewarel
Thy swift, flying feet,
Not so fast, have a care!
The valleys are under,
The skies are above,
Let us rest in the wonder
And drift in the lovel
Twenty, twice twenty
A fond looking back
Along the old pathway
And down the far track;
A heart of high purpose,
And sterner the will
But the roses, the roses,
They fade on the hill
And the mornings are paler,
The moons are a mist,
And the night is a dream
OF dead lips that we kist;
That we yearn to kiss still,
AS in childhood's sweet trust,
AS they lean to our cheeks
Through the shadows of Dust
All, onward, far onward;
Yea, upward and on,
Till sixty and seventy
Have rung through the dawn
But the heart travels backward,
And love calls again
For three with its amulet,
Six with it's chainl
Six with its rose-chain,
Seven with its bloom
Down through the shadows,
Oh, love, in the gloom
Lead us to childhoods
Of laughter and cheer
Through dreams of an infinite
Year after yearl
Dawn through the shadows,
Light to the last;
The farther we wander
The nearer the past
One is necklace,
Forty rose,
That blooms where the footstep
Of lost childhood goes!
