A Tramp's Sermon.
What personal Liberty" Gave to One
Man.

A tramp asked for a drink in
a saloon. The request was grant
ed, and when in the act of drink
ing the proffered beverage, one
of the young men present eX-
claimed, stop! Make us a
speech. 1t is poor liquor that
doesn't loosen a mans tongue"
The tramp hastily swallowed
down the drink. AS teh liquor
coursed through his blood, he
Strengthened himself and stood
before them with a grace and
dignity that all of his rags and
dirt could not obscure.
Gentlemen" he said, II look
tonight aot you and myself, and
it seems to me | look upon the
picture of my blighted manhood.
This bloated face was once as
handsome as yours. This sham
bling figure once walked as
proudly as yours, for | was a
man in the world of men. l, too,
once had home and friends and
position. | had wife as beau
tiful as an artists dream, but 1
dropped the priceless pearl of
her honor and respect into a cup
of wine. l had children as swee
tand pure as the flowers of
spring, and saw them fade and
die under the blighting curse of
a drunken father. had a home
where love lit the flame upon the
altar and ministered before it,
but I put out tfhe holy fire, and
darkness and desolation reigned
in it's stead. | had aspirations
and ambitions that scared as
high as the morning star, but l
broke and bruised their beautiful
forms, and strangled them, that
| might hear their cries no more.
Today I am a husband without a
wife, a tramp without a home,
and a man in whom every good
impulse is dead. All have been
swallowed up in the maelstrom

Alfalfa Acreage Larger.
Alfalfa Becoming Staple Crop in
Many Localities of Southern Texas.

High prices for forage during
the winter just passed has Undue
ed the farmers of Southwest
Texas to diversity on a large
scale by raising alfalfa. Alfalfa
raisers have reaped a harvest OF
dollars off of last years crops.
The plants grow so luxuriously
that from six to nine cutting a
season are had, and cuts a ton to
the care. John Closner, sheriff
of Hidalgo county, on the Rio
Grande, cut nine times last sea-
son, averaging a ton to the acre
and SIG per ton. Alfalfa grows
without irrigation and does not
have to be resown until every
third year, and also requires but
slight cultivation. The roots
subsoil the land, draining in
some places, and furnishing it
with rich supply of fertilizing
elements in all cases. Alfalfa
feeds upon the air as well as
upon the soil itself, and stores a
large amount of plant food in
the soil for its own use and that
of the crops that come after it.
Thi sfact is leading farmers to
use it to restore soils that have
been used continuously in cotton
growing.

His Wife Took Heart.
The Worth of soberness.

A blacksmith had in his pos
session, but under mortgage, a
house and piece of ground. Like
many others he was at one time
fond of the social glass, but was
happily induced by a friend to
join the temperance society.
About three months after, he OBJ
served his wife one morning bus
lily engaged in planting rose
bushes and fruit trees. MARY"
said he, 81 have owned this lot
for five years, and yet l have
never known you to care to i'm
prove it in this manner" EN-
deed" replied the smiling wife,
81 had no heart to do it until you
gave up drink. I had often
thought of it before, but I was
persuaded that should I do it
some stranger would pluck the
roses and enjoy the fruit. Now,
with Gods blessing, this lot will
be ours, and we and our children
may expect to enjoy the produce.
We shall pluck the roses and en-
joy the fruit" And they did.
Their cottage was known as the
prettiest in the neighborhood.-

All honor to him who shall win
the prize!
The world has cried for a
thousand years.
But to him who tries and who
fails and dies
give great honor and glory
and tears.
Give glory and honor and pitiful
tears
To all who fail in their deeds
sublime.
Their ghosts are many in the van
of years.
They are born with time in
advance of time.
Oh, great is the hero who wins
a name,
But greater many and many
a time
Some pale faced fellow who dies
in shame
And lets God finish the
thought sublime.
And great is the man with a
sword undrawn,
And good is the man who re-
Trains fro wine.
But the man who fails and yet
still fights on
Lo, he is the twin born broth
er of mine!

HARVARD TO CUT
 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

Cambridge, Mass, March 22.-Al- though the outcome is problematical, it is generally believed at Harvard uni yersity that the vote of the faculty, at q special meeting on Friday night, recommending an inter- collegiate agreement to reduce the number of in- Intercollegiate contests will have no effect whatever upon any of the matches arranged for this academic year. The baseball sceh dule for this spring has been completed and in cludes 27 games.
 But in the opinion of many Harvard men, there is a strong possibility of a radical change next fall in the foot ball schedule. There is even pros- pect, it is asserted, that the schedule may be cut to two games and that the Harvard teams public activity in this line of sport may eventually be linn tied to contests with Yale and one ether college only, probably Dart mouth. The supporters of this plan take the view that football should be put on plan with rowing, and that the football team like the boat crew, sh ould be trained and developed for not more than two or three contests.
