The Pennsylvania coal fields will be exhausted in S4 years. If you want uture generations to have fuel, plant trees.
 Which state do you think produced he most tobacco last year? If you say Kentucky, you're wrong. It was Missouri.
 Under the same conditions the edu- cated and refined man lives differ ent life from the uneducated and un- refined man. Yet, the education need not be altogether of books; and re- finement is not the veneer of social life.
 The person who fails to speak kind words does himself injustice and in justice to others. It is best to get into the habit of saying kind things, and the way is to begin by having kind thoughts for others. If you think kindly, then kind words will come so naturally that you will speak them unconsciously.
 No one has the right to poison the water or the food of his neighbor. His right to poison water, or food, is as great as his right to poison the air. Food is ordinarily eaten three times per day, water drunk many times oft ener; but air is taken into the lungs millions of times each day. The dan ger trosn poisoned air is greater.

Every visitor at the new capitol at Harrisburg, Pa, who gets as far as the registration room, is expected to write his name in big book, together with his birthplace and present resi-. dence, says the Troy Times. Not long ago, when a cro vd of excursion ists visited the grounds and buildings, stout girl started to register.
 She paused, pen poised in air, and called out to an elderly lady, com fortably seated in a big chair, Mon, were vas I borned at?"

cELIcAcY OUT OF sEAso:l
Farmer Absolutely Unable to Under stand the Possibility of
 Ice in July.

We are so accustomed to having things "out of season." and especially to the cutting and storing of ice for use in the summer, that it is hard to put ourselves in the place of the sim pie old farmer told of by writer in the Toledo Blade.
 In the summer of 1900 a party of surveyors was working through the state of Arkansas, surveying and To- eating the Midland Valley road. One day the surveying corps stopped at a farmhouse and shouted for the farmer.
 The Arkansan came out, and the surveyors asked him if they could get drink.
 Certainly, boys," he said. "I'll give you the best I've got, and the best I've got is buttermilk.' .''
 That will be fine," the surveyors said, and the old farmer gave each of the gang glass of buttermilk.
 Its mighty good" said one of the surveyors to McLoud.
 "Yes, indeed" McLoud replied, but it would be better if we had some ice to put in it.'
 Turning to the farmer, McLoud said, Have you any ice?"
 'Ice!" shouted the farmer. tugging at his whiskers. Heel Who ever heard of ice in July?"-Youths Com panion.

TOTAL LOSS OF HAIR.
Seemed mminent-ScaIp Was Very Scaly and Hair Came Out by Hand fuls-Scalp New Clear and
New Hair Grown by cuticura.

About two years ago was troubled with my head being scaly. Shortly after that I had an attack of typhoid fever and was out of the hospital possibly two months when I first mo- ticed the loss of hair, my scalp being still scaly. I started to use dandruff cures to no effect whatever. l had actually lost hope of saving any hair at all. I could brush it off my coat by the handful. was afraid to comb it. But after using two cakes of Cuti- cura Soap and nearly a box of Cuti- cura Ointment, the change was sur prising. My scalp is now clear and healthy as could be and my hair thick CT than ever, whereas I had my mind made up to be bald. w. F. Steese, 5812 Broad St., Pittsburg, Penn, May and q, 1908"

Bones of a Famous kina.

According to reports from Sofia, the grave of the famous Polish king, Lad islaus ". has been discovered near Varna. It was at the battle of Varna in 1444 that the king was taken pris- oner and killed by the Turks. The skeleton now found is headless, which makes it's identity with the remains of the king more likely, since it is re- corded in history that the Turks cut off the head of their royal prisoner after he was dead and carried it round the battlefield at the point of a lance. Should the authenticity of the bones now discovered be proved be yond doubt, the Poles will take steps to have them brought to Cracow and laid in the cathedral there among the tombs of other Polish sovereigns.

HARD UP FOR A CASE
He Bit.


 Ex-Police Commissioner Bingham of New York said of graft at recent dinner: "The grafter isn't so easily caught; he isn't quite so naive as an old fellow they used to tell about in Andoyer. This old fellow was suspected of tampering with the church collections. A couple of clumsy traps that were set for him failed to work. Then one day young deacon walked past his house leading new horse.
 That's fine horse, deacon, the old fellow shouted Did you buy him at the fair?'
 "'Yes,' said the deacon. Then, as the other came nearer, he added:
 "I bought him with my pickings out of the collection plate 'The old man looked mortified.
 Good gracious! he said. I've often taken enough myself to buy a hat or pair of trousers; but, deacon, in takin' enough to buy horse aint ye committin' positive sin.'"

FOOD QUESTION =. Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by Dyspeptic.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all the members of the family at meal time as every housewife knows.
 And when the husband has dyspep- sia and. can't eat the simplest ordinary food without causing trouble, the food question becomes douhly annoying.
 An Illinois woman writes: ,-
 My husbands health was poor, he had no appetite for anything I could get for him, it seemed. .+.
 He was hardly able to work, was taking medicine continually, and as soon as he would feel better would go to work again only to give up in a few weeks. He suffered severely with stomach trouble.
 Hired of everything had been able to get for him to eat, one day seeing an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, got some and tried it for breakfast the next morning.
 We all thought it was pretty good although we had no idea of using it regularly. But when my husband came home at night he asked for Grape. Nuts.
 Tt was the same next day and l had to get it right along, because when we would get to the table the question, Hare you any Grape-Nuts' was reg. ular thing. So I began to buy it by the dozen pkgs.
 My husbands health began to i'm prove right along. I sometimes felt offended when I'd make something l thought he would like for a change and still hear the same old question Have you any Grape Nuts?
 He got so we'll that for the last two years he has hardly lost a day from his work, and we are still using Grape-Nuts. Read the book, "The Road to. Melville" in pkgs. There's a reason"

ENEMY OF FARMERS UNION
What Farmer Would Do to Injure Or ganization If Opposed to its Prin-
 ciples and Objects.

If I were an enemy to the Farmers union, have you any idea of how would try to do it an injury? No? Well, 1 would never say a word against the principles of the organization, nor would I attempt to prove that the aims were anything but right, writes J. A. Boone in Union Tribune. But I would slip around and impugn the motives ot it's officials; I would say that they were all there for the money; I would count up all the initiation fees and dues ever paid and flourish the total and ask who had the money; would never count any expense, show any profits, count any of the good effects and benefits of the organization, II mention any of the hardships of the organizers, but I would harp on the failure of other organizations and at lowing in their footsteps, and that it had not done as it had promised.
 I would magnify every tale of dis satisfaction and discontent and quote every knock, objection, dissension, dis turbance, and every personal scraI that I could hear of would be gath cred and find a place in the news re ports of the newspapers and among the members for tale bearers and fol weak-kneed and suspicious winners to harbor and spread at conventions, anG at every opportunity that offer itself Would it have any effect? Is it moi the only way that they can fight us
 But those who use the above tactics are fools, knaves and traitors to the farmers cause, and those believing them are ditto.
 Did you ever meet man that could look you square in the eye and say that single one of the principles O the union was not just, equitable ant right? Of course you never have an. you never, will. @f --
 So let us line up as one man an. go after them with hammer and tong and make Rome howl'' as never be fore. Are you satisfied with the va. conditions have been growing for tn; past several years? Has not this or ganization materially changed thes' conditions since it's advent? Aye, th' powers that be- have seen to thei consternation that a young giant f in the arena, and it is up to you an, to make it greater giant. What d. you say? Me thinks l hear you ga. aye. we will do it.
 Then, let us be up and doing; at tend your local, discuss things abou the work, have a query box to opel at each meeting, and by these and oth CT ways keep up the interest.
 The Farmers union is for the farm CT and for his benefit, and it will b. just what he makes it. Each of u has a special work to do and ou brother. cant do it for us,. becaus he has his own work to do; so VI must do our work ourselves. Don't be so much like sheep tha you. will follow the crowd withou asking where it is going, but folloy duty and let the crowd do as i pleases. Are you a part of it?

Lettuce Seeds.

Greenhouse grown seeds of the bet ter strains of lettuce have proved nearly total failure in Massachusetts, the past season, writes a prominent grower of this crop located in the east ern part of the state. There is a de, cided scarcity in these seeds. we experience" he writes, that our hot house lettuce crop of seed grown in 1905 will not germinate at all, and we has been experienced of other grow ers. This should be of interest to your readers. The cause of this we cannot give, as the seed germinated well with us last year."

Origin of Word "BibIe."

The word bible is derived from the Latin name biblia, which was treated as singular although it comes from the Greek neuter plural, meaning ''lit- tie books" This Greek diminutive was derived from byblus, or papyrus, the famous material on which ancient books were written. The title "Bible" was first used about the middle of the second Christian century in the so- called second epistle of Clement (Xiy 2)

A. Henry Savage Landor, the Eng fish explorer, who will soon make an attempt to reach the south pole, is of the opinion that Lieut.. Shackleton failed through having cumbersome and unnecessarily large expedition. MT. Landor's theory is that small caravan of trusted and hardy men, lightly equipped as in his expeditions through Asia and Africa, is best. MT. Landor's activity in aeronautic inves- tigations gives color to the rumor that an airship will be used by him in his expedition.

CUT DOWN EXPRESS RATES

Phoenix. Arizona, May 28.-The full text of the decision of the in terstate commerce commission in the case of the Maricopa County Commercial association against Wells Fargo & company was re- ceived at the office of the association this week.
 The rates which have been re- ceived are more favorable to Ari- zona towns than the association had expected they would be and the scope of the ruling is much broader than was expected. One interesting fact is that the rates from eastern points to Phoe- nix are made lower than from the same points to Los Angeles. The new rate, for instance, from Kansas City to Phoenix is $S: the rate to Los Angeles is $9 25; the old rate to Phoenix was $1O 25. These are rates on merchandise. The re- duction of this rate. of course reduc es the rate from all other eastern points.
 The rate on merchandise from Los Angeles to Phoenix is reduced from $5.25 to $4 and the general special rate applying to perishable goods is cut down from $3.5O to $275.
 The extent of the reduction may be seen from the following table of old and new rates from Phoenix to the. points named:

The popular game of whist was indulged in until il o'clock when an elaborate repast of seasons delicasies, prepared in a style known only to the most skill ed culinary artists was served. At a late hour the party of merry guests departed wishing their host and hostess many happy returns of the day.
