Taking No Risks.

While the members of a certain football team were journeying to ful- fill an engagement. the sorry pair of horses attached to the conveyance which they had hired came in for good deal of adverse criticism.
 q say, driver" at length remarked the captain of the team, you've got a whip-just touch em up bit. At this rate we shall never reach our destination"
 The driver explained that he had never had occasion to drive that par ticular pair of horses before.
 AS you remark" he added, I've got a whip, but don't like to take the risk O using it!"

Much Artificial Indigo Used.

Artificial indigo, manufactured in Germany, has ruined the indigo indus try of India. In recent times $25,000,- 900 worth of indigo was exported ev- cry year from India and the surround. ing islands and countries. But by 1909 the German export of artificial indigo had risen to $6,250,000, and the Ger man product is now imported into h. dia. Consumers of indigo, who were continually in trouble over the vari- able purity and quantity of the prod uct from the indigo plant, find the arti- ficial product pure and cheaper than the natural. The artificial production of indigo was accomplished only after 35 years of experimenting and after more than $4,O00,0O0 had been spent. The process depends upon peculiar action of mercury called catalysis. Mercury's peculiar power in these ex- periments was discovered by mere chance-some mercury happened to find it's way into an experimental flask as the result of broken thermometers. This little accident made commercial indigo a reality and reversed the eco homie relations of states.

HIS PERFECT TRUST
liARRiMAN'S FAITH IN WIFE
 BEAUTIFUL TRAIT.
Moral Drawn from Fact That Rail road King Left Vast Estate Ab- soIuteIy to His Loved
 Life Partner.

Edward E. Hartman was never given to free and frequent confidences He was naturally reticent concerning his personal affairs. He was often called secretive and distrustful. In business he took all of the usual pre- cautions to prevent the misuse of pow CT or the abuse of opportunities by other men. But it seems that in so vital matter as drawing his will he placed all of his interests in the hands of one person. He named only one heir and gave that single bene- ficiary his entire estate and his abso- lute confidence. He left everything to his wife.
 This extraordinary disposal of trust which the powerful, wary and masterful railroad magnate had in the woman who had been his true help meet and the partner of all his good fortune and bad, from early manhood. In her he reposed entire faith. Of her sound judgment and her fidelity to his wishes regarding proper pro- flSlOH LOT HIS CUliuTeu, TOT eAdInpIe, he had no doubt whatever.
 Such is the common experience of the greatest money kings in America who accumulate their vast fortunes themselves. With few exceptions they have been models of domestic faith fitness and loyalty, and they have de- pended greatly upon the women who have shared their fortunes and often their labors, through the most diff cult and critical years of their careers. It is evident that in so far as it is possible to argue from many striking examples to a general rule one of the best means of winning great business success is to marry good, sensible woman and to be en- tirely true and loyal to her and make the closest and most trusted business adviser and associate of the life part her who must share in all of the hus- bands failures and disappointments and ought never to lose her full en- joyment of any good fortune which may come to him.

 The United States department has leneaGed H. s. Mobley as organizer |of boys clubs and school extension work, and county and district corn club organizations are being rara.ly effected. This campaign conteinplates the early organization of every coun- ty and the enrollp.c..t of 25,000 boys in the corn growing contests, through the active work of MT. Mobley coop efa.,ig with the college of agriculture and the farm demonstration agents, and the state committee of the boys corn clubs, State Superintendent Geo. B. Cook, Commissioner of Agriculture Guy B. Tucker, Professor of Agricul- ture Rufus J. Nelson and J. A. Evans.
 The boys corn clubs are securing the hearty support of the Farmers Union, the congressman and county officials, the commercial organizations, the school teachers, merchants and citizens generally
 These are some of the tangible facts indicating the widespread awakening in this state along the lines of most practical wealth and comfort produc- ing advancement for the entire citi- |zenship, and especially for the farm CT who constitutes nearly 90 per cent of our citizenship.

AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS
EDUCATION AND DEMONSTRA- TON BRINGING ARKANSAS
 TO THE FRONT.

Little Rock, Dec. 27.-The general acceptance in Arkansas of the value of practical agricultural education and demonstration is being evidenced in many ways. The 4,000 farms upon which demonstration crops were grown in 1909, under the direction of State Agent J. A. Evans of the United States department of agriculture and his 27 local agents produced a yield of from 50 per cent to over 200 per cent above adjacent crops of the same class.
 The contest affidavits of the boys corn clubs showed that yield as high as 10S bushels of corn to the acre had been produced in 1909.
 The Farmers Institute work by the college of agriculture, under direction of Prof. George A. Cole, is doing much to popularize specific agricultural training.
 The annual farmers institute at the University of Arkansas, January 4 to 15, 1910, is free to Arkansas farmers. A course of great interestso. IS been prepared and the attendaroA promises to be much larger than ever before.
 The last legislature passed an act providing that elementary agriculture and horticulture be added to the com mon school course of study in March, 1910, also, the appropriation of $780, 900 for the establishment of four ag- ricultural high schools.
 The United States department of agriculture, through J. A. Evans, Shreveport, La, now offers to pay $500 per year of the expense of main tairing an agent, in addition to super vising the work, in any county in the state that will take up farm demon stration work.

WARNED AGAINST IDLE LIFE
Engiishrnan Couples Words or Wis dom with His Disposition of
 Large Estate.

A striking appeal to rich young man nor to allow their wealth to tempt them into habits of Ioafing and idle ness is made by the late Lieut.. Coi. Edward Tufnell in his will, disroslng Of an estate valued at e343,624 gross and net personality e103,19
 Col. Tufnell, who had residences in Eaton square, at the Grove, Wimbie- don park and Crowhurst park, Sussex. was unionist M P. for Southeast Sus- sex from 1900 to 1906, and was for merly a member of the kings body guard
 The appeal against loafing is made in the following remarkable clause in his will:
 "I desire to bring home to the minds of my sons, and of each and every young man who may hereafter take benefit in my property under this my will, how strongly l hold to the view that every man should, during some substantial portion of his life, have some definite occupation, and lead a useful life. and should not suffer wealth or any accession of wealth or other temptation to tempt him into idleness, and mere loaiing and use less existence
 T might have so framed this my will as to have made idleness operate to forfeit the interests hereby con ferred on my sons or other young men in my property, but l foresee that such a provision might, in certain cases, work hardships, and prefer to hope and to trust, as l do, that no son of mine and no other young man who may under this my will succeed to the enjoyment of any property of mine, will so disregard my views here in expressed as to lead the life I SC strongly deprecate.
 Col Tufnell himself always led a strenuous life. He saw active ser vice in the Nile expedition of 1SS4-5 when serving in the Eighteenth Royal Irish Regiment.-London Express.
