and firmly to one thing, the same
motive there would be il the mind

thing demoralizing in having too

Lincoln was hungry fer an edu-
cation; he yearned for wisdom, fol-
growth and expansion. There was
no large library staring him in the
face, bidding for attention and
distracting his choice; and because
many volumesof educational means
were denied him, he appreciated
all the more the precious books he
walked miles and miles to obtain
and which, he read before the log

the energy of his nature was con-
centrated on that "Life of Wash
ington." He threw his whole be-
ing into it and devoured it as only
a soul thirsty for knowledge can.
When he secured that book,
Lincoln did not make up his mind
that if it did not prove SO interest
ing as he hoped, lie would return
to the library and tumble over a
hundred or more volumes and
select the one that might amuse
him the most. So industriously
did he continue to read this book,
that he fairly drank in it's wealth
with all the eagerness of his nature,
all the intensity of his mind. He
just lived in the book and rellved
the life OF our first president; fol-
lowed him in his campaigns, en-
tirely oblivious of the floorless
cabin in which he lay reading
before the fire. The book was not
merely read; it was absorbed. His
soul quenched its thirst at this
living fountain with as much.
eagerness as the stag quenches it's
thirst at the brooks for which it
has pined SO long. This was real
reading. Lincoln made his own,
every book ne could get hold Of
and read each as it he never ex-
pected to see another. He was
essentially home study product.
It takes pluck and unusual
ability for boy surrounded with
every luxury Of his hearts desire.
to exert himself as e1ergetically
and with the same determination
as poor boy, who knows he has
his own way to make in this world.
Nothing takes the spring out Of
the young ambition quicker than
the consciousness that all ones
wants are provided for without any
personal effort. The struggle to
keep the wolf from the door has
given the world it's greatest inven-
tions: has writtenits greatest books;
composed it's greatest songs and
built its grandest institutions.
A country lad often benoans his
lack of advantage with poor and
short-termed schools in winter, no
libraries, and only here and there
a book. But he forgets the great
advantage he has over the Lincolns
of the past in the opportunities at
forded him thru our many
good and desirable correspondence
schools of today. The history of
our country shows that it has not
been the hasty reading of many
books-not the glanclng' over of
hundreds of volnmes-but the en-
tire absorption Of the works OF a
few great minds that has made
strong men and who have achieved
world wide regulations.
Concentration is the secret OF
every great accomplishment.
Everything that dissipates the at
tention or the power to concentrate
the attention on one thing should
be avoided as an enemy to the de-
sired results. The quiet and
leisure of country life, as well as
the limitations of those deprived
Of their liberty together with the
best facilities for concentrating
the mind, often more than COM
pensate for the seemingly greater
opportunities of the city and the
advantages of established libraries.

In strict propriety of language,
arms are instruments of offence,

ton, swords, spears, cfoss- bows,

This distinction, however, does not
always hold good, for the express
sion .'murderous weapons" as we'll
as "coat of arms" is common in
modern phraseology. These are
in direct opposition to the above
explanation. The best distinction,
then, to- be made between these
words is, that arms are Instruments
made expressly for fighting; and
weapons are instruments casually
used for fighting. According to
this distinction, pokers, slaves, or
knives, will be equally weapons,
but not equally arms with swords.

weapons is used in the singular;
arms, never, in this sense.

BUYING BINDING Irvine.
Farmers Union Has Orders for $4O.-
900 of Penitentiary Product.

The Kansas Farmers union, which
has its headquarters in Topeka, and of
which E. H. Hewins is president, will
buy about $4,000 worth OF binding
Irvine from the state penitentiary this
season.

members and from other farmers not
members" said Mr.. Hewins today.
land sending these orders in to the
penitentiary in 5000 pound lots. IN
this way we all get the benefit of the
tx cent rate. The Irvine is shipped
direct from the penitentiary to the
parties ordering it. The money is sent
to US, and we remit to the penitentiary
Every day we receive from $500 to
$1,000 in cash, and orders are coming
in faster all the time.
practically all of our orders come
from that part of Kansas east of Sa-
lima. West of Salina the farmers use
headers almost entirely. That is be-
cause the fields are more level. I have
in eastern and western Kansas, and
find that the wheat looks fine. The
crop is now practically assured, and
farmers are ready to order their Irvine.
Cherokee county has ordered 1900
pounds up to date, and Shawnee has
ordered 1900.
I'VE do not restrict this arrange
ment to members of our union. Any
farmer who wants Irvine can send his
money to US and get the benefit of the
tn cent rate
There is not much doubt now that
the Kansas penitentiary will be able to
close out its stock of binding Irvine
this year.

company, resumed his testimony be-
fore the house committee investigating
the wood pulp and print paper ques-
ton. In his testimony Mr.. Whitcomb
claimed $3.50 per hundred pounds was
a fair price to charge any one. There
never was any intention, he said. to
advance the price of paper 20 three
cents a pound. The raise to $3.50
represented the extreme advance. 1t
was apparent he continued that the
company tried to sell paper at less
than it cost to make it
do you know whether there is any
combination, agreement or under
standing existing among the paper
manufacturers to restrict the output
in order to hold up prices or for any
other reasons?" asked Chairman
Mann.
ST believe there is none whatever"
replied Mr.. Whitcomb; Eat least we
have none.''
Regarding the output of paper,
which Mr.. Norris claimed had been
reduced since the formation of the
International Paper company, the wit
Sess gave figures to show that there
had been an increase in the output Of
10 per cent since 1900.
To refute the claim of Mr.. Norris
that the International Paper company
was not paying equitable wages. Mr.
Whitcomb submitted a list of 254 en-
