value Of "Stooptng.,,

Always be civil. Try to treat rich
and poor alike. Is not the poor mans
20 shillings as good as the rich man s
pound? The working mans wife, with
her basket on her arm, says Sir Thorn
as Upton in the Strand, is entitled to
as much respect as the lady who comes
in her carriage. When Benjamin
Franklin was ambassador at the
French court, speaking to a young
man, he said: 1.-The last time I saw
poor father he received me in his
study. AS l was leaving he showed
me short way out of the house
through a narrow passage crossed by
a beam overhead Suddenly he cried:
'Stoop! Stoop!' / did not understand
what he meant until I felt my head
bump against the beam. He was a
man who never failed to give good adj
vice. You are going he said, and
have got to go through the world.
Stoop as you go through it, and you
will miss many hard thumps.'" 1
have never failed to be impressed by
this lesson of humility.

WHOLE COLONIES persisted.
Disastrous Results of Attempts tt
Transplant Races of Peoples.


A commencement has been made in a
most remarkable and long talked of en-
terprise. This is nothing less than the
TRANSFORMING of the Laps from Lap
land, where they are a dying race, to
Labrador, where it is hoped they will
flourish and increase.
Whether these hopes will be justified
or not remains to be seen. Similar ex-
periments in the past have seldom been
wholly successful, and some have result
ed disastrously.
The Doukhobors, for instance, who in
1899 were transported to the number of
5000 or 1000, from their homes in south
ern Russia to the Canadian Northwest,
were for a time in dire straits. They
also behaved erratically, marching naked
through the snow and abandoning their
fiecks and herds to the wolves. They
are now, however, reported to be settling
down and doing better
On the other hand, the attempt made
some eighty years ago to transplant the
Roskolnikis of the Don country to a
new home that was supposed to have
been found for them in eastern Turke-
stan resulted in one of the most CHASTITY
tragedies.
The huge caravan lost its way in the
desert and was never heard of again,
the probability being that hunger and
thirst, with the attacks of nomad rob-
bers, were responsible for the deaths of
the entire party.
Equally dreadful was the fate that
befell the 10000 Jutlanders transplanted
to the east coast of Greenland by Queen
Margaret of Sweden. At first they flour
ished exceedingly. Villages were found
ed, churches and schools were built, and
bishop was appointed.
Then one year the, ice pack broke
loose from the remote northern seas and
came to a standstill along the coast cp-
posite the settlements in a belt fifty
miles broad.
Al communication with the open sea
was thus cut off. The settlers were un-
able to obtain supplies, and in the end
they persisted down to the very last man.

The elderly and wealthy dentist, DIR.
Stone of Elgin, Illinois, who resented
the stringing of telegraph wires across
his building, and cut them down, created
much confusion in electrical conditions
in his vicinity. He not only interrupted
telegraphic communication between El-
gin and the outer world, but put stop
to the operation of the street cars and
put out of business the wires supplying
light and industrial power to the city of
Elgin. The Doctor has made finer
figure as a defender if the rights of
property than as an exponent of social
urbanity and civic consciousness.

How on earth will New York's best

on S15,000'a year?" This was the ques-
ton New York society asked when 1t
heard that Miss Giulia Morosini would
have to cut in two her annual allow

fathers estate had been found to be
only S2.660,509, instead Of more than

Miss Giulia was the favorite daugh-

who left her the greater part of his

per cent would be only $4,000 a year.

FALLING LEAVES.

Amid the Indian-Summer haze
The forests regal hueS unfold
With richest crimson, cloth of gold
Russell and scarlet, all ablaze.
How quickly have the days flown by
Since Spring her first faint oolors threw
In pure relief against the blue
Of charming April's sunny sky!
The budding white oaks rosy tint
The summer changed to vivid green;
The slender birch'S silvery sheen
Was heightened by the sunbeams CLINT.
Now soon each leaf all scar and Drowned,
With cutting wind and biting frost,
By ruthless autumn torn and tossed,
Will fall and wither ON the ground.
But tiny rosebuds are hidden there
TO show forth beauty by and by;
Sheltered from winters winds they lie,
Although each limb and branch be bare.
And so our lives must bud and grow,
Warmed by the sunshine of Gods love,
Showered by mercies from above,
Till we in health and beauty glow.
Thus mid the frosts of sorrow, still
We shelter those lives yet to come,
And when we fall, our voices dumb
They live to do the Fathers will.

Revival After San Jose Scale Blight.

Peaches -four inches in diameter are

of what can be done with fruit trees
reclaimed from the ravages of the San

swept over several peach trees belong

trees dead and was about to cut them
down when he discovered that the trunks
were alive. He cut off the dead branch

peared. 1t was on these new branches,

NOT FOR WILLIE

Bill Whitsett has returned from
British Columbia where he spent the
winter investigating land and eli
mate for a number of Pullman peo-
pie who had heard glowing reports
of the wonderful fertility of the soil
and mildness of climate in that sec
ton. Mr.. Whitsett went north last
fall, fully prepared to stay all win
ter and armed with a thermometer
ana rain gauge with which he in
tended to keep a record Of the rain
fall and temperature during the win
ter.
The place visited is a great plain
west of the Cascade mountains and
almost north of Seattle. 1t required
a horseback trip of 900 miles to
reach 1t from the railroad. Mr.
Whitsett says he was greatly dlsap-
pointed in the land and climate. The
land is covered with cottonwood
trees and some underbrush and the
soil does not appear to be nearly
as fertile as was represented. In
stead OF being a fine agricultural
district just opening for settlement
as was stated by those who were
trying to boom the country and in
duce settlers to locate there, It is a
wilderness which produces nothing
but timber and a poor quality of
degrees below zero last winter. There
is 10 permanent settlement. A num-
Der of persons who went in there to
locate have left or are going to leave
as soon as possible.
