Harvest.

harvest.
In a current humorous paper lady
on horseback is represented looking
over a wall at farmer. She says,
II am so glad you are going In for
wheat, Mr.. Hayrick! My husband
made great deal of money in 1t on
Wall street" The satirist has touched,
without intending 1t, the profound fact
that under all our material prosperity
lies the produce of the earth; that
every man, from the farmer to the
master OF the stock market, succeeds
or fails with the crops One OF the
most promising American novelists,
who died In his prime, set for himself
the splendid imaginative task OF
tracing through series Of novels the
kernel of wheat, from the field to the
loaf of bread. In his Epic of the
Wheat" he attempted to tell in new
kind OF harvest fable the story Of mod
ern man. AS far as he went, he did
succeed in making the kernel OF wheat
the heart Of a large section Of our
highly complex life. The flooding In
Of millions of bushels Of wheat about
his hero, who stands in the wheat
pit" In the stock exchange, is as pow
erful as the rush of armies In the old
military epics. All summer long the
world watches the crop indications.
There Is a shortage Of grain-crops."
"The cotton crop Is moderate COM
pared with last year" IAN improve
ment of a hundred million bushels
was made in the corn crop In July"
Complicated by other forces not sure
ly discerned by the wisest statesman
and the shrewdest capitalist, these
crop reports swing the world up and
down, says Youths Companion, until
the harvest is all In and the facts are
known. There Is q momentary settle
ment In business and politics, the
world breathes sigh of relief and
than all industry that depends on the
crops begins to hum. Harvest Is a
great taking OF stock between the
coming In Of the raw materials Of life
and the winter months, when those
materials are converted to the mani
fold uses of man.

The Sinful Human Heart.

A clergyman was addressing a
youthful class in Sunday school. To
illustrate the idea of regulating the
sinful human heart he took out his
watch and held 1t up that all might
see it.
"See this watch" he said. "Just
imagine that it does not keep good
time-that it goes all ways but the
right way. What ought to do with
it?"
Instantly little boy held up his
hand.
II know!" he shouted "Sell it to
+. friend"

Hospital STORYTELLING.

1t is curious that philanthropists
in search of novel means of doing
good do not engage reciters and story
tellers to visit hospitals and amuse
the patients. A rich man in New
York engaged Marshall P. Wilder, the
diminutive entertainer, who has given
pleasure in nearly every city, to visit
regularly certain hospitals in New
York. Mr.. Wilder was welcomed en-
Enthusiastically by the convalescent pa
tents, and his merry stories did them
