Followers of harness racing here were greatly pleased this morning at the success of Mir. Lon Mcdonald in winning the American trotting handi- cap at Rockville, Mass. on Tuesday, with Allen Winter. Mr. Mcdonald has wintered his stable of horses in Selma for the past two winters and every member of his stable is well known by the majority of horse lovers il, the city. Mr. Mcdonald has been very successful during the Rockville meet ing so far. On Monday he won three of the events on the card and on Tuesday two more. One of the events which he won on Monday was with Ward. Ward Is a Selma raised horse and on Monday made a record of 2:l1 in the 2:11 class. Ward was raised by W. L. Ward, IT,, of this city, who nartially trained him and who later sold him to MT. Ben Renick. This summer Mcdonald took him In charge and has been successful with him so far this summer. Allen Winter was one of the unknown members of the McDonald string which spent the past winter at the Selma driving track. The big stallion was kept under cover all of the winter by Mcdonald and few heard the name of the animal. He was Kept in a separate barn from the other horses of the Mcdonald stable and was always trained by McDonald during the early morning hours and before the usual crowd gathered at the track.

Don't preach over the heads OF sin
ners. Souls are lifted up by preach
ing down to them
Don't try to be star In the pulpit.
The preacher who does invariably shuts
off somebody's sunlight.
Don't ask who your neighbor may

" kindness. He who stands upon cere-
mony NAV fail to find one OF Christs
children.
Don't place church above Christ The
Pharisees of old made this tatal mis-
take. and persisted in making it, not
withstanding the warnings of Jesus
himself.
Don't fancy that you can save the
poor by rowding your church Win the
rich AS a rule the rich lend little as
s;s+opce in making the poor better men
and women.
Don't tell the starving of the saving
grace of Christ until you have reviewed
tbair hunger. You should remember
that Christ relieved temporal wants
before he ministered to spiritual.
Don't abandon your efforts to help
vonr fellow men because you DO not
succeed as quickly as you think you
ought, In the worst of men there Is
GOOD which can be found by proper
effort.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

He rejects happiness who refuses all
sacrifice.
Success Is the ability to make step
ping stones out of stumbling blocks.
There must be something queer about
any faith that needs perpetual defend
ing.
Many man hopes to be saint
while mixing with folks who would
corrupt an angel.
To be thinking always Of your own
advantage is the easiest way to ad-
vance backward.
Too many want to hide their dodg1ng
of the ten commandments behind
doubts about Moses.
The man who says he IS too poor to
give will never be rich enough to be
other than poor in heart.
The only people who dare think they
have a right to do nothing are those
who are fit for nothing.
When you find a man who Is too
busy to think of religion you usually
find one who is afraid to stop and look
at his own record.

tianity is going to live at all it is going
to live by its big ideals If 1t once
begins to lose it's commanding hope and
faith. all will be lost l do not believe
any man has ever seen Jesus Christ
who has not seen Him as the Savior
of the world. You may see a Christ
who is a Savior of England. You may
see Christ if you like who Is a Savior
OF Europe, but you have never seen the
principal glory of the Christ until you
have seen Him as the Savior Of the
world. What l say is this; if the thing
is true here in England, it is true in
India; it is true in China. Truth is
not matter Of parallels of latitude.
If Jesus Christ is the highest and the
best here, He is the highest and the
best there. If He Is the revelation of
God here, He Is the revelation of God
there. If He is the Savior from sin in
London. He Is the Savior from sin out
there. We have got to see Him as the
Savior Of the world; and l repeat, only
the churches that hold by the big ideals
are the churches Of power.

Made Raid on SOup.

Some of the incidents of war play
now running in New York suggested to
a civilian of the present generation
that the playwright of to-day takes a
while lot of license. \ veteran with
an empty sleeve took issue with him.
"rhe incidents you MENTION he said
to the young man, may not have oc-
cnrred as here presented. But the
struggle had its comedy situations. 1t
was not all grim, and it was a good
thing it wasn't.
There wasn't much time in the clos
ing DAYS of the war for farcical Incl
dents but while the masters of the
great trouble were formulating plans
Falstaffs were plentiful in remote

ouaIttv of Grass Seed.

The Maine law regulating the sale OF
agricultural seeds requires that grass
seed shall be sold under a guarantee as
to purity. Bulletin 13S of the Maine
agricultural experiment station, which,
doubtless, many of your readers have
received, gives analysis of the seeds
which were collected by the inspector
and those sent to the experiment sta
ton by correspondence in 1906. The
dealers are very generally conforming
to the law and the purity Of most seeds
is now guaranteed. The question nat
urally arises in the mind of a farmer,
should a seed be strictly pure. and, If
not, how nearly pure should it be?
The purity Of seeds varies greatly
with their kind. 1t is possible to grow
timothy seed so clean that it shall car
nv practically no foreign weed seeds.
1t is not as easy to grow any of the
other grasses or clovers so clean There
is no need for the sower to ever buy
timothy seed that is much less than
99.5 per cent pure. Samples have been
examined by the station the present
wear which contained not single for
eign harmful seed.
The best red clover seed will fire.
uuently carry as much as 1 per cent
Of foreign matter, although these Inn
purities are usually comparatively
harmless. It Is, however, poor policy
for the sower to buy a red-clover seed
that is less than % per cent pure. The
best grades of alsike clover will run
about 9S.5 per cent pure on the average.
It is doubtful if the purchaser should
buy an alsike whose purity is less than
97.5 per cent.
Redtop is the most difficult seed Of
all. 1t will, of course, contain more
or less chaff. 1t Is difficult to grow red
top free from timothy, and the seed
cleaners find 1t difficult to separate tim
othy seed from redtop after 1t has once
been introduced. Samples of redtop
carrying as high AS Il or even 10 per
cent of timothy are not unusual. II
one could be sure that the impurities
were harmless like chaff and timothy
IL might be safe to buy redtop even
as low as So per cent pure. Unless one
is assured of the character Of the i'm
purities. it is unwise to buy redtop
less than 90 per cent pure.

How SickIes Got His Medal.

The presentation to General Sickles
by the War Department, after long
delay. of medal for meritOrious con-
duct at the battle of Gettysburg, re-
called an interesting incident. At the
national G. A. r. encampment at Buff
falo, General Ruggles of the regular
army and General SicEles were two of
the conspicuous old generals in attend
ance. Ex-Governor Upham Of Wiscon-
SIM together with Il. A. Shores of the
same State, were guests at the same
hotel with General Ruggles. On the
Shores was presented to the general.
The conversation turned upon the sub
ject of badges. several of which Gen
eral Ruggles was wearing, when he
remarked that It was unfortunate that
General Sickles was unable to get Il
medal from the War Department.
"Sickles deserves the bade," said he,
"for he commanded his regiment to
the end of the engagement after he had
lost his leg by the explosion of a shell;
ing, SO far as is known, who was an
eyewitness of the generals action. and
the testimony of an eyewitness is abb
solutely necessary before the medal can
be awarded"
When General Ruggles had ceased
talking Mr.. Shores said: General. |
think can furnish the evidence that is
desired. | was General Birney's order
ly in that battle, and was sent with a
message to General Sickles to say that
General Birney was ready to take COM
mand at any time 1t was then we'll
known among the Federal soldiers that
General Sickles had lost a leg, and it
was supposed he would be taken from
the field. When | found General Sick
les he was on stretcher with a clamp
on the stump Of his leg to prevent loss
of blood, and he was giving orders
while sitting on the stretcher on which
he had been carried to the front l
delivered General Birney's message,
when with a vigorous adjective Gen
eral Sickles said: You tell General
Birney that when | want him to take
command | will let him know"
The next day at the suggestion of
General Ruggles, Mr.. Shores called
upon General Sickles. and repeated the
statement made the day before, which
evidently reached the War Department,
for General Sickles afterward received
