Sverdrup In 1899. to the head OF Sver-

of Ellesmere Land.
Their route then lay out through this
ford. thence north through Sverdrup's
"Heuerka Sound" and hansen Strait.
On their way they killed musk-oxen
and bear. and made caches. arriving
eventually at point on the west side
OF hansen Strait Cshore Of Axel Hell

A cache was formed here and the
four Eskimos did not go beyond this
point. Two others. Kooiootingwah and

THE HEROES OF THE STATES.

Virginia, one Of the oldest Of the
states, and Idaho, one of the newest.
have this summer caused TO be set
up statues of their state heroes in
the han of statuary in the national
capitol They will be formally dcdi-
Gated during the winter.
Idaho, which is the fourth state
west of the Mississippi to show re-
spect for the memory of its distin-
guished sons in this way, has select
ed George l.. Shoup for the honor.
Shoup was the last territorial and
the first state governor of Idaho,
and one of the first United States
senators from the state. He has been
dead about five years.
Virginia, from among its many
famous men, has chosen George
Washington and Robert f. Lee as
its representatives. Washington is
commonly regarded as product of
the nation rather than of any state,
but his native commonwealth has
now claimed his as its own in the
national gallery devoted to those TO
whom the states regard as their
great men.
1t was also for Virginia to decide
whether Lee should be honOred in
tile same way. Georgia had previous
IL oauSad the erection in the capitol
of a figure of Alexander II. Steph-
ems. the vice president of the Con-
federacy, not only because of his in
.tellectual greatness, but also for the
reason that he had sacrificed much
to prove his loyalty TO his state.
General Lee followed Virginia in Sc
cession, just as stephens followed
Georgia. This idea of state loyalty
has long been abandoned, but res
pect for the sincerity of the men who
entertained it has, in the north, taxi
en- the place of the old bitterness.
Whatever objection there might
once have been to placing the Lee
statue in the national capitol has
disappeared and even the men who
took up arms TO defend the idea
that this is an indissoluble union,
and not a voluntary association, raise
no protest against the action of Vir-
ginia in selecting Lee for this signal
distinction. Youths Companion.

SERMON WITH A LESSON.

The New York Independent prints
this human interest story: The fol-
lowing lette,' from William Z. Bar
ton, d. D., of Oak Park, Ill, tells a
kindly story and breaches a short
lesson: Some months ago | made re-
quest through your columns that
picture postal cards be sent to a
friend of mine in prison. May | now
be permitted to thank those who re-
sponded to that request, and to say
that it will not be necessary to send
any more? The gentle, kindly nan to
whom this Lindness was extended,
has been released, and is doubiy
free; he died free man. Friends
who sent him postal cards without
knowing his name will be interested
in knowing that there came to him
through the mails 1000 illustrated
postals, from every part OF the world
and that he found great satisfaction
in arranging them. and that every
a sense of the kindness of unknown
friends. 1t is something 10 have
frightened the last months of life
as those did who remembered him
in bonds As his name was not men
toned before. let it still rest in the
silence of this quiet ministration.
But let me preach this little sermon
to men who are trusted as he once
was trusted and honored as he was
once honored. Keep trust funds sep
arate from your own money. 1t is
following its direction some kindly
men. genrous and good, have learned

RAILROADS AIDING AGRICtL-
TIRAL DEVELOPMENT.

The Pennsylvania railroad has
just purchased fifty-acre farm on
the line of its road in Delaware for
the purpose of establishing an exper-
mental agricultural station for the
benefit of farmers in the peninsula
within Maryland, Delaware and Nir-
ginia OF nearly four million acres
Of land in this peninsula, only lit
tie more than two millions are re-
ported to be under cultivation. This
movement is the result of an inquiry
by committee started by a person.
Ial visit of President McCrea last
year. The land selected is said to be
worked out" and was chosen for
that reason, SO that the practicable
be exemplified. Glass hoIses will be
built; nutritious grasses will be
grown: fruits and market veget-
ables viii be especially improved;
and the whole will be in charge of
la Cornell graduate OF practical ex-
perience says the Commercial and
Financial Chronicle.
This naturally follows along the
line of the educational train work,
in agriculture and good roads, which
has been considerably done by =
number of railroads in different
parts Of the country, as heretofore
mentioned by US. It particularly fol-
lows the work which has for several
years been done for the Long Island
road, by an agricultural enthusiast
who first entered the company's ser
vice as a publicity" agent to make
known to the public the hitherto un-
known country Of that island. It is
the belief OF this man that the island
is In every respect unique. with an
uneQualed supply Of fresh water yn-
der It, and capable OF raising almost

every desirable thing grown from
the soil of the globe. The road has
been issuing. for several years,
small fortnightly journal of results
accomplished by him on its two eS-
detrimental stations at Medford and
Wading River, and while 1t is not
needful for the present purpose to
gather together these details, a few
are especially shrinking. A cut of the
Wading River farm before work be-
gan shows as barren-looking piece
OF desolate scrub as any traveller on
Long Island ever saw; cuts Of this
spot. only sixty-eight miles from
Manhattan, now show packing
houses, corn standing sixteen feet
I high, and vegetables and other
products in proportion. OF interest
! to the city dweller is the company $
order sheet for week S supply OF
vegetables for $3.50, in a hamper,
delivered at the consumers door
within the limits of the Long Island
Express company.
The suggestiveness of this move
ment is the present point, rather than
| a summary of details accomplished;
the simple fact that the Long Island
Road has been doing this for years,
| and that the Pennsylvania now be-
! gins the same, establishes the prac-
! ticability of it. Here We see rail-
road going outside Of mere carrying
! that it may stimulate the produc-
/! ton Of things to be carried; and, ac-
I cording to the saying that he who
makes two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before is ben
! efactor to mankind, we have rail-
roads exhibited in the part of COM
bined selfishness and philanthropy,
part which Is unlike the one usual
ly ascribed to them nowadays.
The suggestiveness of these facts
reaches even further; for railroads
have sought to aid new industries by
making very low rate on freights
! in some cases so as to avoid hauling
empty cars on the return trip; they
have sought in many ways to do
more than simply carry the passen-
gers and goods that Offered. The
square deal dogma, pushed to ex-
tremes, appears to oppose giving a
lower rate to the car load or train
load than to the single package; it
thus seeks to go counter to the i'm
movable rule Of favorable terms to
the largest customers, which rule is
based on the fact that the large
transaction both involves a larger
lump profit and can be handled at
smaller relative cost. The country
must some day come to realize that
railroads thrive not only by, but
with and upon, the ge" raj prosper

MORE WHEAT AND LESS COTTON
IN ELLIS COUNTY.

A large number of Elus county
patch TO the News the other day, have
resolved to SOW wheat this season for
the first time in several years The
result of that policy ought to be
worth watching Much of this
wheat, We Imagine, will be sown on
land this year devoted to cotton, and
since that makes it both diversified
ton and rotation, the News is rath-
er gratified by the prospect. Two re-
suits may be forecast with to1erable
certainty will afford pasturage
al a time when feed stuff is scarce,
and therefore dear; and it will in
some measure improve land that has
perhaps been planted too steadily in
cotton.
There is no question as to the
possibility of growing wheat success
fully in Ellis county. That fact, we
believe, has been affirmed by exper-
fence. notwithstanding the method
of growing it is not the best. The
only chance of a crop failure, then,
is in the season, and that chance is
as small in Ellis as in any other
county in Texas. A fair crop of wheat
next year will be profitable, in all
likelihood. Last years crop was
poor; this year scarcely fair, and
the worlds normal need is growing
by leaps and bounds. 1t would seem
therefore, that only very bumper
crop of winter and spring wheat
could keep the price below a remun-
eratiye level next year.
On the whole, We think the policy
of these Ellis county farmers is apt
to vindicate itself handsomely.
