the Overland Refrigerator Express
company which operated under a
lease from Booth e. Co.; certain re-
frigerator cars and collected from the
railroads mileage for the use of the

nary at Havana.

New York, Aug. 3.-Bishop Albion w.
Knight. the Episcopal bishop of the mis-
sionary district of Cuba, will establish a
seminary in Havana to prepare native
men of Cuba for the ministry.
According to his plans it will be open
ed about September 1, and will hold its
sessions in the Episcopal school building
at Jesus Del Monte, Havana, where
there is now a parochial day school
Bishop Knight says there is loss of
time and money in having to send all
candidates for holy orders from Cuba
to seminaries in the United States.
It is expected that the students will be
used as teachers in the Episcopal mis-
sion. There are SO mission stations in
this missionary district.
The Rev. A. T. Sharpe has been ap-
pointed warden of the seminary by
Bishop Knight Its professors include
Archdeacon Steele of Havana, the Rev.

THE BEST HE COULD GET.
Amateur Gardener Could Not Under
stand Why Seeds Did Not Sprout.

The woes Of the amateur gardener
are very amusing to others, but de-
cidedly real to the man who has
spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his
hands and lost his temper in his eff
forts to make things grow.
A young man, recently married.
early in the spring secured a SUBJ
urban place, mainly with the idea of
fresh, homegrown vegetables Every
evening he would hurry through his
supper and rush out to his garden,
where he displayed more energy than
skill. But, alas! When many little
green things began to break the
ground in his neighbors' gardens, his
W remained as bare as the Sahara.
1T certainly has got me beat" he
confided to a friend at his office one
day. II can't understand why not q

The DRINKING Orchid.

One of the most remarkable plants
known to horticulturists is the drink
ing orchid, which is found in South
America. This orchid takes a drink
whenever it feels thirsty, by means of
a tube which it let's down into the
water. The tube when not in use is
coiled upon the top of the plant.
The formation of the orchid is diff
ferent from others of it's species, hav-
ing sharp leaves, lancehead-shaped,
growing round the root and radiating
from it. From the center of the plant
hangs the tube, about one-eighth of an
inch thick and one-fourth of an inch
wide. When touched it gradually
contracts and rolls itself up in a
spiral-like coil. AS a rule these or
chids are to be found growing directly
over the water, or where water has
been, and in the latter case it is al,
most pathetic to see how the tube will
work it's way over the ground to a
Dool or river.

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities of Officers and ri.
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tons. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, on the occasion of his cleo
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that "life insurance is more
than a private business, that life in
urance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to a going bust
ness which at the same. time must be
administered as a trust"
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the
company. II understand" he says,
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur-
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to adj
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact
ing details to which it is impossible
for you to give personal attention. My
long connection with the New York
Life-covering nearly twenty years
my service in about every branch Of
the company's working organization,
gives me, as l believe, a profound ap-
probation, not merely Of the heavy
burden you have placed on my Shout
ders, but of the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
of integrity, which must be main
tanned at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders in
this high Office"
Best of all, perhaps, he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short Of
performance. my thanks, therefore"
he continues, "for ali honor which out
ranks any distinction within the reach
of my ambition, cannot be expressed
in words; they must be read out Of
the record l make day by day."

NOT A GOOD SYSTEM.
How the MaiI Order Business Injuries
the Agricultural Sections.

We must admit that the Eiail order
system is a legitimate business if 1t is
carried on legitimately. It is a great
American privilege to carry on trade
in this way. Yet the principle from
an American standpoint or any other
standpoint that is consistent with
equal rights for all is entirely wrong.
Through the mail order system the
merchants suffer a direct loss. To
them it is an unfair competition. 1t
diverts trade from established chan
nels. The loss of the merchants in the
local town a loss to the town
itself, to every resident of the town
and the surrounding community. 1t
is the business of the city or town
that makes it a live place oil a dead
one. Dependent upon the activity of
a town is to a great extent the value
Of all farm lands in it's trade territory.
Thus is the farmer affected by any
system that causes a deterioration in
his home town. Yet the farmers are
the main supporters of the catalogue
houses. They assist in feeding the
snake that is stealing their eggs and
they little realize it. They are as vi
tally interested in the upbuilding of
their home town as the merchant. 1t
is for their benefit as well as for all in
the community that the town is there.
There is a more vital phase of the
question that few farmers realize.
That is the evils resulting from the
vast capital that is concentrated in
the large financial centers. 1t is this
surplus of money that makes it easy
to build up trusts and combinations.
These. trusts affect the affairs and the
prosperity of the farmer. He does not
stop to think that when he sends his
money to the distant concern that he
is doing just so much to help along
the trusts,

Where the MONEY Is.

More than 40 per cent. of the popu-
lation OF the United States proper lies
in less than a dozen eastern states,
These states are known as manufac-
turing states, In the banks Of one,
New York state, is contained nearly
40 per cent. of the money of the coan-
try. New York city alone has in its
banks rs per cent. of the money in CIR
culation. This has been made posi-
BILE by the conditions that enable the
large cities to draw trade from all Sec
lions of the country. In fact, great
cities must have support Of a large
territory, But n of the great evils
and which injuries the masses who are
residents of agricultural district is the
system of drawing support from local
towns and communities to the cities.
This system takes from the rural dis
tricts the surplus wealth that shnuld
be retained to build them up.
