You're the slave OF n foolish pride.
With your face 10 the starry sky
You would try to look dignifed.

That around your pathway lie;
You are crushing the blossoms beneath
your feet.
And you never can see in your blind con-
ccit,
For you're holding your head too high.

No tramp of marching armies,
No banners flaming far:
A lamp within a stable.
And in the sky q star.
Their hymns of peace and gladness
To earth the angels brought
Their Gloria In Excelsis'
To earth the angels taught
When in the lowly manger
The holy mother maid
In tender alteration
Her babe Of heaven laid.
Born lowly in the darkness
And none so poor as he.
The little children of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush of hostile armies then.
But just the budding sheep.
The angels singing of the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No fame OF conquering banners
No legion sent afar;
A lamp within stable,
And In the sky a star.

Has Done More Than Any Other One
Man to Place American Aarleul-
turo on Scientific Basls--Fa-
Their OF Pure Food Laws.

Washington.-No branch Of applied
science has made greater progress
during the last Is years than agricul-
tural chemistry and DIR. Harvey w.
Wiley, present chief of the bureau of
Chemistry in the department Of agri-
culture PROFESSIONALLY has accom-
plished more than any other living
man in the work OF placing American
agriculture ON a more scientific basis,
thereby adding enormously to the pro
duotiveness aRd wealth OF the country.
Scientific agriculture, OF as It may
otherwise be termed, agricultural
chemistry, is q science OF comparative
~ recent origin, and the Indiana man
has been the leading spirit in 1t for
nearly a generation.
Prof. Wiley's interest in scientific
agriculture began with his connection
with Purdue university as professor OF
chemistry. In 1874, year after his
graduation at Harvard, when he was
also appointed state chemist of In
diana. He remained at Purdue nine
years.
Or. Wlley's connection with the gov
eminent work began in 1883 when he
was offered the position of chief of
the bureau Of chemistry OF the depart
ment Of agriculture. The offer was ac-
copied, and from that time the deveI-
opment OF that bureau and its activi
ties became DR. Wiley's life-work To
day he is recognized as one Of the
worlds great chemists. with a mem
bershlp in many foreign and American
scientific societies.
Arriving In Washington to take up
the duties of his new post, Dr. Wiley
found his quarters confined to a lab
oratory in the basement Of the anti.
quated agricultural department build
ing and little office upstairs His
full working force consisted of four
assistant chemists and a dishwasher.

work of the bureau was $4,000 Dur
