MAN AND RELIGION.

In the every day walk Of business
life religion frequently gets below
par. 1t is not the fault Of the re.
ligi0n but of the man who handles
it. When a mans religion wOn'I
get him credit at the grocery store
for sugar, potatoes, etc, 1t is below
par. When a mans religion won't
get him q small loan at the bank
without two or three endorsers on
his note. it is way below par.
When the nelghbors say Of a fellow,
lie belongs to church and claims TO
be awful good, but | would not
trust him an inch, the fellows re-
ligion is below par. When the
people laugh at a man as he wends
his way homeward on Sunday morn
ing and call him a hypocrite, the
mans religion is below par. Re-
doesn't make the man. Man
makes the religion. Religion in the
hands Of the trickstcr, schelner and
h~ypocrite is bound to be below par.
In the hands Of the honest and sin,
cere man it scars to the skies and is
accepted at face value over any
counter in town. Exchange.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

m new orleans Picayune OF
last Monday contained the following
editorial comment on the weather
and crops during the week pric7 TO
that date:
THE past week has brought rain
to practically all parts Of the Cotton
Belt. In some localities the rains
have been decidedly heavy, and in
north Texas and part Of Arkansas
they have been excessive. The tenn
p%erature has been seasonabIe. and
where the rain was not excessive.
conditions have been favorable to
field work, and the various crops
have made excellent progress.
On Friday stormy conditions pre-
vailed over a considerable section Of
the South, and in a number of local
tiles destructive tornadoes developed,
which did a great deal of purely
local damage, but which had hardly
appreciable effect on tYf' cotton or
other crops as a whole. Enough
rain has fallen all over the belt TO
meet present requirements, and
farmers are now anxious for a brief
period Of fair weather to permit
thorough working of the fields to
keep down the grass and cultivate
the crops.
So far the cotton crop has met
with no important setback and is
making excellent progress. Where
planting has not been finished it is
nearly 80, and in the more southerly
portions Of the belt the crop is not
only up and growing, but has al
ready progressed to a vigorous and
promising stand. This is particu-
larry true Of the portion of Texas
where early cotton is usually looked
for, and should no setback be en-
countered early cotton can be looked
for in abundance.
Despite some efforts that have
been made to restrict acreage, it is
generally believed that about the
same acreage will be planted as last
Some small decreases in a
few States have been fully offset by
gains in other States. There is ap-
.parently little probability of a vol
curtaiIment of acreage. Last
season much of the acreage planted
was later abandoned owing to the
continued rains, but there {
'eems no probability of a repetition /
the same conditions this season. {
The corn crop is making practic- :
lily as good progress as the cotton ,
'rop. The corn acreage planted has s
undoubtedly been liberal, as the
allure of last year and the high :,
'rlce Of grain made a good corn 4
rop unusually desirable. An ex- e
ess of rain is now the main fear of a
farmers, but from present indi- Q
a good corn crop is prom e
sed." Il
