Money in Locust Trees.

Farmers who are planting locust
trees declare that there is no more
profitable way of utilizing cheap land.
They figure it this way: Two thou
sand four hundred trees can be plant
ed to an acre; in eight years these
trees will be large enough to cut for
fence posts, and each tree will yield
two posts. At retail these posts will
be worth 20 cents each, or so cents
a tree. That means at retail a crop
worth $1,000 an acre at the end or
eight years, or an average of $3.50
an acre a year.-Kansas City Jour

After my granddaughter of about seven
years had been cured of the measles, she
was attacked about a fortnight later by a
furious itching and painful eruption all
over her body, especially the upper part of
1t, forming watery and bleeding sores, es.
pecially under the arms, of considerable
size. She suffered a great deal and for
three weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think Of.
Nothing would help. We tried the Cuti-
cura Remedies and after twenty -four hours
we noted considerable improvement, and,
after using only one complete set of the
Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days
the little one, much TO our JOY, had been
entirely cured, and has been well for a long

A SURPRISE, DONATION, MARI
TAI DIVORCE SOIREE.

To a man up in Lynn, Mass, II
seems, belongs the credit of originating
the idea Of a divorce party. Perhaps
In view of tbs circumstance that the
sued and the suing in these cases are
both referred 90 as parties" the event
had better Il called a divorce dance or
soiree
But this is a mere detail The really
salient point !. that a novel means of
raising funds to launch a divorce suit
was tried in tie Shoe City Wednesday
night. 1t was an affair, we should say,
that will arouse considerable interest
throughout the country sort of sur
prise, donation, marital masquerade
party.
Government statisticians have lately
demonstrated that divorce is mere pop
ular in tn United States than any
where else IL the world and that its
popularity is steadily increasing. The
general record is one divorce for about
every twelve marriages. The county
record is held by Peoria county. ILL.,,
where the ratio is one divorce for every
four and two-thirds marriages. But if
the scheme put to the test in Lynn is
elsewhere successful, then when the
next census Is taken perhaps Essex
county, Mass, viii be shown TO have
wrested this distinction from Peoria.
Hitherto, the divorce rate, high as it
is, has been kept down to some extent
by lack of money to undertake the pro-
ceedings. But if those who want to be
are to be assisted in their en-
desvor by rlblic entertainments, then
thu divorce mills must have their "a
pacity greatly increased OF else there
must be night and day shifts in the

ROME AND AMERICA, STRENU-
OSITY AND CALM.


Ancient Rome and twentieth cen
fury America bound together as the
great historic types of the highest form
of government, rational and universal
this was the picture that Prof. Fer
zero drew so wildly and eloquently in
his latest lecture. IT was indeed an
impressive study of republican ideas
and effects.
q am a student, not fatterer," said
the young and brilliant Italian. and
with this he introduced his dissent
from the opinion that the Americans
represent the sum of all the virtues /;
''but I do say that, leaving aside the
French and the Swiss, the American
is superior to the European" The
American is a citizen, the European a
subject; there has been and can be no
better form of government, no form
better calculated to develop the finest
civil and individual characteristics than
that once seen in the Roman republic
and now to be seen in the United
States.
Milton, whose ter-centenary the civil
lied world noticed more or less impas-
sively yesterday, says in his Free
Commonwealth:
"The whole freedom of man consists
either in spiritual or civil liberty. As
fer spiritual, who can be at rest, who
can enjoy anything in this world with
contentment, who hath not liberty 20
serve God, and to save his own soul.
according to the best light which God
hath planted in him to that purpose.
by the reading of His revealed will and
the guidance of His Holy Spiritg
O.. The other part of our freedom con-
sists in the civil rights and advance
ments of every person according to his
merit: the enjoyment of those never
more certain, and the excess (access)
to these never more open than in free
Though in essence related to both
the Roman republic and the common
wealth described by Milton, in practice
we have advantages all our own. and
of these none is more striking than the
spirit of quiet and caution which bids
us elect as President man of judicial
tempeTs ment after some years Of the
strenuous life.

GIVING THE MARINES A
CHANCE ON SHORE.

No doubt for the next few months
we shall hear much ABOUT the marines,
once soldiers and sailors, too" and
the proverbial repository of tales too
fantastic even to be taken with salt
APropos of President Roosevelt's order
Withdrawing this armed force from sea
duty it is recalled that less than a
year ago Mr.. Taft, as Secretary of
War, proposed that the navy, instead
of the army, should man the coast de-
lenses.
Taken In connection with the fact
that it is provided the Marine Corps
shall be liable to do duty in the forts
snd garrisons of the United States on
the seacoast, or on any other duty on
shore, as the President, at his discre-
ton. may direct the conclusion is that
under the Taft plan the marines would
be assigned, when not otherwise en-
gagged, TO coast defense work. The
basis of the plan is the inadequate size
Of the present coast artillery force and
the forthcoming need of more men TO
take charge of the new Notifications
erecting on Pacific shores.
The marines are no longer needed on
American warships; in fact, broadly
speaking, they have not been needed
there for a long time. Their withdraw
al has frequently been advocated by
