EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon bvRev. ii. Preston
Providence meets us on the thres-
hold Of being and endows US with
great possessions. Pauperism is alb
normal. The Creator places a gener-
Gus capital at our disposal. 1t lies
around us and within us.
With capital at ones disposal, safe
investment becomes a matter of natur-
al solicitude. Few are content to let
it alone, and this is indeed one of the
worst things that "a be..done with it.
Would it not be a fine investment
that should give its earnings to you
in person after your departure, in an
other world?
The opportunity is open. Lay up
for yourselves treasure in Heaven,
where moth aud rust docth not corrupt
nor thieves break through and steal.
1t is not because the great philan-
thropists have been uniformly rich,
that they have bestowed such benefits
upon humanity, but because they
have consecrated their gifts Of what
ever sort to the good of the world.
Character is that indefinable some
thing that individualizes a man, gives
meaning and force to his personality.
Character is a most valuable asset,

Approximately complete statistics
for the crop year make it possible to
show more accurately the effect of a
world shortage on the value of a mod
crate American crop of all exportable
product of the farm, says the Mime
apolis Tribune.
1t has been we'll understood for
some time that all the American cereal
crops would fall far below those of
last year, but that the high price due
to shortage in other countries would
make the return to the producers
much greater than it was then.
Official figures and final estimates
make the ease still stronger. The
wheat crop is the smallest for ten
years with two exceptions, being l00,-
100000 bushels les than that of last
year. The corn crop is over 100000
600 bushels short of last year, but ex
ceeds that of every year hut one be-
fore 1905. Oats are 200,000,000 bush
els short, and the crop has only been
twice lower in ten years.
Cotton is more than an average
crop, though about II and a half
million bales below the wonderful
yields of 1904 and 1906. Barley, with
the most remarkable price change of
all. though % million bushels less
than last year, exceeds any other yield
on record.
The price OF everyone of these ar
%ticles, as we'll as of other agricultural
products not included in the estimate
is higher than it has been for five
years. For example, wheat is up FL
cents over last year, oats IL cents,
corn II cents, and barley % cents.
Taking the computation of the agri-
cultural department for total values,
we find the return for every agricul-
tural product at present prices the
largest in the history of the country.
The corn raised this year is worth
$l70,O00,00O more than last years

NEW YORK GOVERNOR
What Hughes Learned From
His Father.

Burton j. Hendrick, whose articles
on Great American Fortunes" are
known throughout the country, con-
tributes an article on Hughes to the
March McClure's. This article un-
wells an unusual personality and is
withal most entertaining reading.
Governor Hughes once remarked fa-
cetiously, apropos of current stories
of his reserve and coldness, that he
hoped a coroner's autopsy would
discover something in him beside
sawdust and useful information. Mr..
Hendrick has happily forestalled the
coroner and gives his readers a
glimpse of the Governor of New
York State.
Charles E. Hughes was the son of
a Welsh clergyman who raised him
in the nurture and admoRition of
the Lord. "At an early age" said
the father. Il taught my son that a
straight line was the shortest dis
tance between two points," a lesson
he has had occasion to use in his
public career.
In 1884 Hughes passed the bar ex-
aminations with rating of SO 7-8.
the attention of Walter
S. Carter, one of New York's most
successful lawyers. He became one
of "Carter's kids" and married his
oldest daughter.
1T is an interesting coincidence

A. Jenkens, of this city, offered a
feeling prayer. The exercises were
held at the home of DR.. John P. Bell.
Capt. Bell was buried in his Con-
federate uniform, which he had
worn with such gallantry and devo-
tion to the Lost Cause.
He was IA years old. having been

that the Carter firms largest client.
when Hughes entered the Office. was
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, whose irregularities he after
ward so remorselessly exposed. In
the main. however, its business, then
and afterward, was not derived from
corporations Hughes talents have
never been utilized to make millions
for large roorate interests by
teaching them how to water stock,
capitalize franchises, organize hold
ing companies, and originate the 9TH
er devices with which the public has
been familiarized in recent years.
On the other hand, he has preferred
to show old-fashioned merchants
how 10 draw agreements, enforce
and perform other offices
which are similarly essential to the
of orderly business.
According to his partner, George
w. .Schurman, general retainers, in
his commitment to any and
every kind of service, were never
accepted by him. He acted upon
the principle that independence both
of lawyer and client is essential to
the ideal relation between them"

riety of anecdotes. both interesting
and Illuminating.
