The Masterpiece.

Alma Tadema. the artist, did not
achieve fame at single bound He
had a few ups to many downs before
he was finally recognized as a painter
of ability. In his student days one Of
his unsuccessful pictures was returned
unsold by the committee of the Brus-
sells exhibition Of 1859 The subject
was house on fire, says the Asso-
ciated Sunday Magazine.
Instead of TRADE against the stu
pidity or favoritism Of the committee
the artist asked his fellow students
into his studio and invited them to
Jump through the canvas. He led the
way by leaping head first through the
oily flames.
A second unsuccessful effort was a
large sized square picture that came
back again and again to its creators
easel until at last he revenged him
self upon It in novel way by cutting
the picture out Of its frame and giving
it to an old woman to use as a table
cover
There was some one at last to APP
preciate its excellence. The next time
Alma Tadema saw the old woman she
told him that 1t was much better
than those common oilcloth things.
They always let the water through"
she explained, 'but that one of yours
is a good thick one, with plenty of
paint on it,

a. INCE corn is the principal crop
grown over so large section
of the United States 1t is i'm
portant that we learn as much
as possible regarding the best meth
DDS of producing it. The average
yield of corn In the United States In
1907 was only 1871 bushels per acre.
Many of the best farmers are able to
obtain an average yield Of sixty to
seventy bushels per acre year after
year. There is no secret in their
methods. They are simple enough to
be applied to every farm in the corn
belt There is no reason why the
average yield per acre should not be
fifty bushels or more instead of less
than half that, as at present.
In preparing to raise maximum
crop of corn there are two main fac
tors to be considered-the soil and the
seed. OF these two the first is prob

The Soul Kiss"

There is every indication Of . nota.
BILE performance a; the Gennett thea
ter on Wednesday evening. when The
Soul Kiss one of the most successful
musical comedies in years. will make
its initial bow before local theater-go-
ers. The Soul Kiss" has been popu-
larly classified at the most gigantic
musical entertainment ever seen inside
the four walls Of a theater. Although
there is 4 dash of daring in the title OF
The Soul Kiss Yet the character OF
the entertainment Is nevertheless one
OF absolute purity and inoffensiveness.
The merit of the different songs and
dances which are heard and seen in
the performance lies in their novelty
and uniQueness.
Harry b. Smith has contributed the
book and lyrics, while Maurice Levi
has supplied one Of the prettiest and
catchiest scores OF music heard in some
time. Julian Matchell has staged this
massive production in his usual tasty
manner.

that this will be found in Christian

pledge to work for the advancement OF

working for. Every Christian Endeav.

eager to lead the van in creating a
