Singing to Keep Step.

olnging 10 heep step.
 But the statutes of the Lord were more than sacred memory of the scenes of David's boyhood. They were the songs by which the youn man and the middle aged man kept step in the journey of life Just the same as the German soldiers when on a line of march invariably start up one of their national airs and sing as they tramp along and all in unison keep step to the music, so this marvellous man of my text kept step to the laws of God during his journey of life and sang as ne walked along. I am very much impressed with &lis figure by an experience I mad some Hears ago in the German capital.
 At that time I was young boy and physically very much fatigued from sight seeing. l had crawled into bed thorough ly tired out and almost instantly had fallen into one of those deep sleeps winch come to healthy boys and girls after a long days tramp. Suddenly I awoKe m the early hours of the morning. Like Paul In his vision, l knew not at first whether l was in the flesh or out of the flesh. From everywhere and yet from mo- where there seemed to roll into my room great tidal waves of harmony. The vol ume was so great and yet the time so perfect that the voices sounded like the chorus of many waters. Louder and louder swelled the song. I leaped out of bed to- see what was the matter. Then heard the tramp tramp, tramp of long line of soldiers marching. As these sol diers marched they sung with their deep, powerful Teutonic voices. AS they sang they kept step to the music. So in David S journey of life the laws of God were the songs by which he kept step after he had left the old homestead.

NEWS OF THE WORLD,
Important Events Of the Week
in Condensed Form.
The HAYWOOD TRIAL.

William II. Haywood, on the stand
In his own defense, in a lengthy nara.
tive Of his life and his work as a
leader of his fellow miners, denied
guilt OF the murder of Frank Steunen-
berg and the manifold crimes charged
against him by Harry Orchard. Hay
woods testimony was chiefly charac-
terized with positive denials of allega-
tons made against him by the prose-
cution. He denied that he met Or
chard until some time after the.vindi-
Gator explosion; denied that he sent
Orchard back to Cripple Creek to blow
up the Independence station; denied
participation in the Lyle Gregory
murder and denied suggesting or dis
cussing the S~teunenberg murder. He
swore that he never gave Orchard
any money at any time or place for
any purpose. He declared that he
never made a threat against Steunen-
berg, whom he said he regarded only
as he did any politician who is being
swayed by capitalistic influence.
Senator Borah's cross-eXamination
of Haywood was more rapid fire than
usual, but from the first to last Hay
wood preserved complete s%elf-control.
At times his replies came as quickly
as the questions were flung at him.
Once when Senator Borah pressed
Haywood as to his sentiments toward
former Governor S~teunenberg Hay
wood said quietly and with a smile:
II felt no different toward Steunen-
berg than I do toward you or any OF
those people," Haywood in many
particulars confirmed Orchard, but
where Orchard connected Haywood or
the Western Federation with crime
the witness was emphatic and prompt
In his denials.
Sensation followed sensation quick
ly in the Haywood trial Saturday
when the state commenced it's rebut-
tai evidence. One witness confessed
to participation in a labor riot result
ing in the death of two men and the
record of conviction of murder In the
second degree of a witness for the
defense was introduced. Finally,
after court adjourned for the day, in
formation was sworn to and a warrant
for perjury issued in a magistrates
court against Dr.. I. l.. MCGEE, a physi-
clan of Wallace, Ida, who was n OF
the witnesses for the defense.

GUESTS THROWN INTO PANIC
Terrific Gas Explosion Partly Wrecks
St. Paul Hotel.

St. Paul, July ia terrific gas
explosion partially wrecked the Avon
hotel, injuring a score of people and

Seven rooms of the hotel, two hall
ways and a landing and stairway were
literally blown to pieces. The shock
of the explosion vas felt for blocks
and the detonation was like a broad

The explosion was occasioned by a
leak in the gas meter in the bath
room. A paperhanger working in the

the meter and when the repairman
scnt by the gas company to fix it
lighted a match in the bathroom there
was a fash, a roar and a wrecked

PRIZE TOMATOES.

Livingston, Prizetaker, Perfection and
Paragon do well, says American Agri-
culturist.
In the same journal Professor r. L.
Watts writes of the tomato industry in
Maryland as follows:
tomatoes are grown very extensive
ly in Maryland. Thousands Of tons
are used by the canning factories, local
markets are well supplied and a large
quantity is shipped to northern mar
kets. The industry is most important
in the Eastern Shore counties, but it is
by no means restricted to this section.
Thousands of acres of sandy and gray
ely loans in different parts Of the
state produce the finest tomatoes. Gil
matte conditions are particularly favor
able for this vegetable. The seasons
are sufficiently long to SOW the seed in
the open ground and have plenty Of
time for the crop to ripen before severe
frosts occur in the fall. Many varie-
ties are grown for canning factories.
The old standard Stone has numerous
friends; the Greater Baltimore. the
heaviest yielder at the Maryland sta
ton, is successful on many farms. The
u Y L is well spoken of by many
gardeners, and q large number of other
varieties are grown to a less extent.

BRONZE GRASS.
Il Grows In Dense cIumps and Spreads
With Rapidly.

With Rapidly.
Bromus inermis is a perennial grass,
growing in dense clumps and spread
ing rapidly by underground stems or
root stocks.
Land broken this spring and sowed
to cane, Kafir corn or corn will make
an ideal seed bed for grass next year
by thorough disking and narrowing,
writes a western man in Kansas Farm
err. During the first year the grass
makes but little growth above the
ground and should be kept from being
smothered by weeds by clipping with
a mower until the list of July, when
the weeds may be let grow for a Win
ter cover and to catch the snow.
Bronze grass starts very early in the
spring, from II to two months before
buffalo grass, and therefore is 4 great
aid to the cattle and other stock, as it
comes at a time when they need it
most.
Its Dense Root System.
Owing to it's dense root system
bronze grass becomes sod bound in
from three to five years. This can be
remedied by severe disking every
spring after the second year and har-
rowing with a tooth harrow. Owing
to the fact that Bromus s%ecalinus, or
common cheat seed, is often found
mixed with Bromus inermis Or sold as
Bromus inermus seed it would be well
for parties contemplating the sowing
Of bronze grass to secure a sample of
the seed and have it examined by some
M familiar with the grass. No relia-
BILE seed house sends out adulterated
seed knowingly, and it is my opinion
that the trouble frequently arises from
the farmer sowing the grass on land
already infested with cheat.
