Grown Successfully?

In reply to the query as to whether
winter cereals and legumes can be
grown in the South to advantage and
at profit, the writer has no hesita<
ton in answering yes, when the con3
ditions are such ais they should be-. In
proof Of this it is only necessary to-
state that on a recent trip to Cumber-s
land Plateau as fine corn was seen
as on many OF the valley farms. The
plateau lands are very sandy, Ieachy
and poor and have been regarded as
worthless for agricultural purposes,
but when stable manure and green
crops and commercial fertilizers, es-
pecially phosphates, potash and lime,
are used judiciougly, forty, fifty, and
even sixty bushels of corn per acre
can be grown without the expenditure
of more labor or energy than would
be required on the lowland farms,
showing the value of logical soil
treatment. II one farmer. can raise
twenty-eight or more bushels OF
wheat per acre on ordinary upland
soil by giving 1t intelligent culture,
others certainly can. Even last year
a number Of farmers IN the vicinity
Of the station farm equalled or SUR
passed these figures, which fully sub
stimulates the writer's contention, ais
such yield Is quite ais good ais can
be obtained In the sections of the

One reason why winter cereals and

ourselves astray in the marshes My
maid was overcome with fright, and
wept and walled SO much that per-

continued on alone.

a vivid remembrance Of the marsh by

Suddenly the secretary arose and
pushed back his chair.

for his gold snuffbox.

He looked at her with a smile.

hands fell at her side.
"Then, if you go back, 7 will go

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-06-14

Four or five thousand of years ago
the exact date is not certain, but the
incident is-Eve told Adam that she
had given UP a career to marry him.
The precedent she set has been fol-
lowed by some millions of her daugh-
4ars since
less intimate friend of Viola Aliens
when she was girl and who feels that
she might have shared Viola Allen S
career with her. And everyone that
she knows, knows that she knew Viola
Allen and that she might have shared
that career.
She says it in this way: Il knew
Viola Allen very well. Her father
wanted to train me for the stage but
my father refused to hear of it."
The tones of regret in her voice are
really heart-rending. 1t is as if she
were ringing the death knell of her
career every time she says it. You
would believe her the most unhappy
woman alive, but as a matter of fact
when she isn't thinking about that she
is very happy.
She isn't an unusual type You
probably know at least one actress. one
authoress, one prima donna and one
artist among your women friends who
only escaped enduring fame by hav-
ing her ambitions cut off in youth
either by fate or marriage, which is
fate in another disguise.

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.

Ninety eight years ago, in Itch
field, Conn. Harriet Elizabeth Beechsr
Stowe was born. There was nothing
to distinguish the tiny infant above
the thousands of others which made
their appearance on the day, yet she
was destined to write a novel which
would be more widely read than any
previous work of English fiction, and
which was to exert a mighty influence
in the freeing of millions of black
slaves
AS the daughter of Lyman Beecher
and the sister of Henry Ward Beecher,
little Harriet Elizabeth was reared in
the odor of sanctity She acquired her
education at Litchfield academy and
at the school conducted by her sister
Catherine in Hartford When little
more than a child, at the age of IA, she
became a teacher of other children. In
1882 she removed to CINCINNATI and
from that city made several trips to
the south, where she investigated the
conditions surrounding the slaves.
Early influences made her the in
stinctive foe of slavery, and instances
of wrongs perpetrated against the
slaves confirmed her hatred of the
system. At every opportunity. through
condemned slavery and demanded its
abolition.
In 1886 romance entered into the
life of the feminine emancipation, and
she became the bride of Professor Cal

The Servant in the House

The following speech from 1.-THE
Servant in the House. has already be-
come a classic 1t is called by critics
"the best example of real eloquence to
be found in any play since the day of
Shakespeare"
when you enter it you hear O sound
"a sound as of a mighty poem chanted!
Listen long enough and you will learn
that it is made up of the beating of
human hearts. of the nameless music of
mems souls-that is, if you have ears.
If you have eyes, you will presently
see the church itself, a looming mystery
of many shapes and shadows, leaping
sheer from floor to dome, the work
of no ordinary builder! The pillars
of it go up like the braWny trunks of
heroes, the sweet human flesh of men
and women is nodded about it's bull
warks, impregnable; the faces of lit
tie children laugh out from every cor
nerstone; the terrible spans and arches
of it are the joined hands of comrades
and up in the heights and spaces are
inscribed the numberless musings of all
the dreamers of the world. 1t is yet
building, and built upon. Sometimes
the work goes forward in deep dark
ness, sometimes in binding light. Now
beneath the burden of unutterable ang-
uish, now to the tune of great laughter
and heroic shoutings like the sound of
thunder. Sometimes in the silence of
the night time one may hear the ham,
merings of the comrades at work up
in the dome-the comrades that have
climbed ahead"
