The Wife as a Conscience.

You may think you had q conscience
and believed In God, but what Is con-
science to a wife? Wise men of yore
erected statues of their deities and con-
sciously performed their part in life
before those marble eyes. A god
watched them at the board and stood
by their bedside in the morning when
they woke, and all about their ancient
cities, where they bought and sold or
where they piped and wrestled, there
would stand some symbol Of the things
that are outside of man. These were
lessons, delivered in the quiet dialect
or art, which told their story faithfully,
but gently. 1t is the same lesson, II
you will-but how harrowingly taught
when the woman you respect shall
weep from your unkindness or blush
with shame at youA misconduct. To
marry is to domest tie the recording
angel. Once you ar Married. there Ia
nothing left for you, 1t even suicide.

ABOUT COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The Roanoke Evening World
says that there is growing
sentiment in Virginia IN favor
of compulsory education, and
this sentiment grows out OF con-
sideration for the children Of
the state and their protection
against the seeming cupidity
or the indifference of many
parents to the child's best and
highest interest.
All the information we get
points 10 that conclusion. The
more the rights Of the child are
considered, the more the public
are disposed to recognize and
protect them.

oke contemporary, chat some
people oppose the interference
of the government in domestic
affairs, and claim for the home

THE AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

Ahc fcpOrt OF ne department
of Agriculture on the crop of
1908 is a most remarkable one.
With the exception of a few
dry spots here and there, the
crop of 1908 is a record breaker;
the crop of 1907 was so large
that the. railroads of the coun-
try were taxed to their utmost
capacity TO handle it, but the
crop of 1905 il appears is going
TO break all records. But a very
few people of this country real
ize what a tremendous factor
the great crops play in our
prosperity Beginning with
May Of every year, our million
aires begin going 20 Europe and
il has been ascertained that
they take over to the old
country about 100000, 600 of
our money. During the sum
mer and fall Of every year
another 100000, 600 is sent over
by European laborers working
in this country. Then about
October and November Of each
year, a large number of foreign
ers Who have been in this
country two or three years re-
turn to their European homes
and carry away in their peck
cts another 100000, 900. This
makes about four hundred mill
lion dollars transferred from
this country TO Europe between
May and December of every
year. This is a big drain on
the money market and last
November the tension in money
matters was so great that it
and we have not vet
recovered from that panic. Now
after these millions dollars
have been transferred to Europe
the farmer begins 90 sell his
wheat, corn. pork. beef and
cotton 20 European markets
and that not only brings back
The four hundred million dol
lars carried over, but some
thing like five hundred million
dollars additional. Thus the
monetary market is thoroughly

Curious Incident In the Career OF
Novelist Crockett.
s. r. Crockett. the novelist, told q
rather remarkable story of an incident
that befell him in his early writing
days. before fame and fortune had
come to him and while he struggled
on for living At that time he was
obliged to write for very small sums
indeed, and among the publications to
which he contributed columns and half
columns was the st. James Gazette.
London penny evening newspaper.
One morning the postman brought to
MI Crockett a letter from the editor
of the st. James Gazette containing
a small check as payment for a con-
trfbution. Mr. Crockett knew that
nothing was due to him, that he had
been paid for all his articles. andre
markable mamie did the check up in
an explanatory note and returned it to
the editor
The next day back came the check
from the editor - remarkable man
with a note saying it was due. The
st. James Gazette had published an
article from the pen of Mr.. Crockett
which had not been paid for; hence
the check. Again Mr.. Crockett-re-
markable man ~ returned the check,
and still the remarkable editor refor-
warded it. this time with the article
cut out of the columns of the st.
James Gazette
Now comes the curious feature of
the incident When Mr. Crockett clap
ped eyes on the article, he was aston
ished to find it one of his dreams
materialized. One night. going to bed
extra tired. he dreamed that good
idea for st. James Gazette column
had occurred to him; that he then and
there sat down, wrote it and posted it.
Next morning he remembered his
dream and made up his mind some
day to write the article exactly as he
dreamed he had written it, when, to
his establishment. came article and
check from the newspaper Few writ
ers earn checks while asleep
