The Big knnnsack.

We were marching from Frederick
City, Nd. to Gettysburg in the summer
of '63. Sergeant Jordan, of Company
G. Nineteenth Maine Volunteers, car
ried a very large knapsack. Now this
knapsack had for long time, and dur
ing many long and weary march, been
the cause Of much comment and the
target of many impertinent and laugh
able jokes, remarks, and friendly OBJ
servations until Jordan had wearied of
them, and yet he carried that KNAPP
sack. Upon this particular day he was
plodding doggedly along In the heat and
dust with his hat pulled down over his
eyes, when a mounted man rode along
side and asked in a friendly way:
Sergeant, how far are you going to
carry that knapsackY
Jordan, without looking up. replied
Farther than you can drive your
old horse IL you swap three times"
The horseman raised Jordan's hat
rim with his sword scabbard, and pleas
antly looking him in the face, said:
"Well, you are grit, by thunder"
What was the surprise Of Jordan to
see that he was talking with Gen. Han
cock.
The quiet laugh which ran along that
rank of dusty-coated, tramping men
made the march lighter for many mile
after. 1t broke out again and again
like ripple on a quiet lake. and spread
and Spread joy without a pang-a
laugh ripple.

When the dark days of last October
came upon this country the people of
fered up thanks for the bountiful crops
of 1907, for here was the mistaken
foundation of prosperity. When the
crisis began to lift, those wise in
finance told us that the rapidity of our
return to prosperity hung upon the
size Of the crops this fall.
Bear these things in mind and con-
slider the government crop report made
public yesterday.
OF winter wheat there is estimated q
yield of 44O,GOO.000 bushels, an in
crease of 61,O0O.OOO over the esti
mate made at this time year ago, and
its present condition is placed at Sc. a
| figureN5 points in excess of the average
for ten years. OF spring wheat the
crop in sight is put at 29O,O00.O0O bush
els, the total for the nation being ap-
proximately T34,OOO,0OO. an increase of
about 1OO,OOO,O00 bushels over 1907,
with an improvement in growing con-
ditions over last year in every wheat
state in the Union.
OF oats our first "billion-bushel' crop
is promised, the estimate being placed
at 1,O56, 900 bushels, the indications
on June l Of last year being for but
924,OOO,OOO The condition of the oat
crop, too, is excellent, figuring up to
92.5, an increase Of almost 10 points
over 1907. Prospects for heavier yields
In rye, barley and hay also are held
forth by the experts Of the Agricultural
Department.
Public confidence, that most mystic
rious of all our financial possessions,
cannot long escape figures like these.
The land, the original source of our
real wealth, Is to come to our rescue
more effective than the currency bill
or any other man-made help, and every
farmer and business man knows 1t.
Here Is where confidence will be manu-
featured as quickly as 1t was destroyed
when Morse and Heinze started trouble
last fall.
The value of this extraordinarily
good crop report is enhanced hundred
fold by the psychological moment at
which 1t is presented to the country.
In the railroad, commercial and bank
ing worlds the word has been for
months: Business will pick up after
July l." A bumper crop forecast just
now ought to furnish the last ounce of
steam with which to start the ready
wheels to moving.-Chicago Post.

Dentists children rarely have filed
teeth for the reason that they are
taught to use the toothbrush with a cir
cular motion. The brush, as in the or
binary motion, goes back and forth. but
it also goes round and round Thus it
finds out all the crannies. Dentists
say that the circular motion, applied
both to the front and back Of the teeth,
will keep them absolutely clean-and
absolutely clean teeth cannot decay.
The teeth should be brushed after each
meal and especially at bedtime. The
morning brush before breakfast. which
is the only one commonly applied. does
scarcely any good at all, since the teeth,
Immediately after. become clogged with

To-MoRRow's BIRTHPLACE.
Line In the Pacific Where 1t Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.

Line In the Pacific Where 1t Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.
Most people who have read Jules
Verne's Around the World In Eighty
Days" will remember how narrowly the
traveller missed his bet, having forgot
ten that in following the sun from east
to west he had gained one day.
When one crosses the Atlantic from
London to New York he gains rather
more than half an hour each day.
From New York to Chicago another
hour Is gained, another to Denver, an
other to San Francisco. which is recl-
oning time eight hours later than Lon
don and of course the best part of a
day later than Shanghai and Yokoha-
ma. In crossing the Pacific there
comes a time when the day begins,
where yesterday and tomorrow shake
hands and where the traveller is cheat
ed out of day in his life.
In mid-Pacific, going west, one skips
from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east
he has one day Of the week repeated
two Sundays or Tuesdays, as the case
may be.
The line Of the changing day IS not q
straight one. The islands I'm the Pa
cific take their time from the continent
with which they trade and from which
they were discovered. Thus the lire of
the change zizzags down the Pacific
from south to north, lodging between
the islands.
Hence 1t might easily happen that a
ship which has already skipped a day
would reach an island which clirgs to
San Francisco time. In such q case II
would be Monday on shore and Tues
day on the ship.
If the ships jolly boat were lying at
a wharf, 1T would be Monday on the
wharf and Tuesday on the boat
And If person lives somewhere near
the line he can get sailboat and visit
yesterday and tomorrow In the most
delightful fashion.

The Indianapolis "Star" charges that

that suggests cowardice, insincerity and
Inconsistency. A few Republican pa
pers are amenable to the charge, but
the most of them have the good sense
to recognize that the reduction of the
tariff on wood pulp will not cause re-
duction In the price Of white paper or
help the. situation in any fashion. The
price of paper in the United States is
no more affected by the tariff than that

paper mills makes the possibility of
the market being invaded by foreigners
about as remote as the invasion OF
our coal market. Taking the duty of

POIiCQ| Comment. !.
Caleb Powers, Liberation.

After an incarceration in the jailS of
Kentucky for eight years and three
months, during which time he was
once sentenced to life Imprisonment
and twice to the gallOws under re-
peated convictions of completely in the
assassination of William Goebel, in
still another trial the jury having dis
agreed, Caleb Powers has been pardon
ed by the Governor of Kentucky. This
act Of executive clemency closes one OF
the darkest chapters In the political
history Of the Blue Grass region. For
while the crime of murder really lay
at the root of the long controversy
which ragged around the unfortunate
Powers, the dramatic taking off of
Goebel-On the eve Of the success OF
his man9uvrings to set aside the
verdict of the people at the polls and
to seat himself in the executive chair
was universally regarded In Ken
lucky as an act Of political partisan
ship rather than as violation OF the
laws against man-killing, and 1t was
the intensity Of that bitter partisan
ship, through all the years that have
interviewed, which has thrown the vel
of suspicion over the administration OF
justice in the local courts.
The repeated action of the higher
courts in setting aside the successive
convictions of Powers has strengthened
the impression, which has deepeneC
into a conviction, that there was nc
justice for Powers as it was admins
tered in Kentucky by his political op
ponents. Juries and courts were sc
imbued with the spirit of the feud, will
