through the six rounds he made no effort
TO mix it up with the Pittsburger welter-

between the men at the finish. and d

HOLLAND BULB TRADE IMMENSE.
Over 10000 Acres Devoted to Raising
Tulips and Hyacinths.

An industry characteristic OF the
Netherlands is the raising OF tulip
and hyacinth bulbs. Attempts have
been made In several parts OF the
world to grow these, but nowhere can
the experiment be said to have been
successful. as the proper kind of soil
for propagation of perfect bulbs seems
only to exist in the small space of ter
ritory between the cities Of Leyden
and Harlem.
This stretch Of country is In reality
the bottom of the old Haariem sea,
which was laid dry about the year
1852, and this sea-bottom dirt, a com.
bination of sand and decomposed vege-
tables and plants, appears to be the
only soil capable of producing the
flower bulbs mentioned.
These bulbs are exported to all parts
Of the world; the demand is constantly
increasing, and an increased area is
from year to year set apart to the cul-
tivation OF bulbs. The statistics for
1906, the latest available, give this
area as 4,o5S hectares, equal to 10.027
acres.

TAXPAYER FEELS HIS DIGNITY.
Effect Of Ownership Of Property 10 to
Make Better Citizen.

Many a time" said q policeman In
the southern part Of the city, when
arresting men, especially intoxicated
men, l have been told by my prisoner
that he was taxpayer and that he
helped pay my wages.
Il always regarded this sort of back
talk as merely drunken insolence, and
never paid much attention to 1t until
about a year ago, when | bought a
house and lot and became myself q
taxpayer. | had always rented be-
fore and never gave a thought to
taxes, but as soon as moved into my
own house began to appreciate the
feelings Of the men who resented ar
rest because they paid taxes. There
Is certainly considerable addition to
the dignity Of the man who helps sup
port the government. He feels a de-
gree Of responsibility that a renter or
roomer never understands, and my
idea is that every man in the country
ought to become a taxpayer as soon
as he can, and the mere fact that he
does help to support the government
and bears his share OF the expense,
makes him better citizen. Habitu-
al criminals, excepting. OF course, high
financiers, are rarely taxpayers. They
know they may have to 1'un any day
and perhaps never come back, SO
they do not buy real estate, but are
roomers and dodgers all their lives."--

EXPLAIN. ,esENcE OF SHOT.

u > Ephrlam.

Polk Miller Ct Richmond blew into
the editorial o.fce Of the Almanack
nike fresh breeze from the south a
few days ago and was promptly asked,
OF course, for the latest darby story in
Virginia. He said II was about substi-
tuting wild turkey for tame tur.
key. One Of his friends bought a tur-
key from old Uncle Ephraim and
asked him, In making the purchase. II
1t was tame turkey.
20, yais. sir. it's a tame turkey oil
right
Now, Ephraim. are you sure It's a
tame turkey?"
%. yais, sir. dere's no so't o. doubt
bout dat. It's tame turkey oil right"
He consequently bought the turkey,
and day or two later when eating 1t
he came across several shot. Later
on when he met old Ephraim on the
street he said: well, Ephraim, you
told me that was a tame turkey, but |
found some shot in 1t when was eat
ing it."

How 70 Helm Our Friends.

We often attempt to regulate the
lives Of our friends through imposing
our own wills upon them. This we do
under the impression that our con-
ception of truth is superior to theirs,
and that we see more clearly than
they do. This is really but form Of
selfishness, and binds all who indulge
in it, both the strong and the weak.
OF course there is a point where
kind and friendly desire to help an
other may be productive of good. But
when the desire to help another in
wolves the subjugation of his spirit
and understanding, then that desire
becomes selfish one. For you can
not force a knowledge az trutA upon
anyone. Only love and patience and
living the truth yourself can bring 1t
to the consciousness Of your friends
