He was so very sorry for every
body's troubles that he walked
through his own little plot of ground
unseeing. When he found his neigh
bors' fences badly in need of repair
their gardens overgrown with weeds
their children neglected, he was sure
the good folk did not know the right
way, and he felt within himself the
power to help them toward better
things.
So keenly alive had the man be-
come to the ignorance, the misfortune,
on all sides, that he could scarcely al
low himself moment of rest. The
haunting consciousness of the pain of
the world rose between his eye and
the pages of his book. He saw it in
the flowing stream-felt it in the sun
1ight-listened for it's insistent re-
minder in every strain of music. The
realization of the suffering of the
many sripped his very soul and would
not loose it's hold.
How dared he let himself go even
into slumber, when perhaps a pro-
jected thought of his might tighten the
load?
At break Of day he knocked on his
neighbours door, at noon he carried
food and water to those who toiled
in the fields. The sick, the aged, the
stricken, watched for his ministra-
tons; but still the knowledge of 9TH
ers' misery robbed the man of peace

her who dwelt ever by his side; and

Sugar Beets for Live Stock.

There is scarcely any comparison be-
tween the value of sugar beets and
ordinary beets, the former being a bet
ter keeper, heavier yield and with
al, better food for stock. Where
roots are grown it is doubtful if any
crop surpasses in feeding value the
ordinary sugar beets, but there are
certain objections to it when it comes
to the matter of growing any consider
able area.

Machine Sheep shearing.

In a good many communities where
sheep are raised it is no longer un-
usual to see them all being shorn by
the hand-power shearing machines.
This machine is rapidly taking the
place of the old hand shear every
where. 1t does much smoother Job;
gets more wool, and the wool is longer
in fiber. The extra wool from a small
flock pays for the machine, very often
the first season.

Robert Louis stevenson's Injunction 70
a Small Nephew At Play.


A story about Robert Louis Steven
son not generally known, according to
the New York Sun, is told by Mrs.
Stevensons grandson, Austin Strong.
When Mr.. Strong was n little chap
Mr.. Stevenson liked TO sit propped up
in bed 10 watch him at play. in the
next room. And often It happened
that the bigger boy OF the two would
make suggestions for the make be
lleye games and insist that they be ear
ried out too.
One day Austin had arranged some
chairs in row, playing that they
were ships, and he, standing on the
front, was the captain. For long
time he proudly walked the deck Of
his vessel, encountered pirates and
weathered all kinds of storms until he
felt the floor positively heave under
his feet.
Mr.. Stevenson looked on in perfect
silence. but complete absorption, no
doubt playing the whole thing much
the harder OF the two. Finally Austin
got tired of his vessel, climbed of his
chair and began walking across the
room TO some object which had at
tracted his interest.
This was too much for his uncle
Still deep in the game, Mr.. Stevenson
rose in his sickbed and shouted ex-
ritedly at the recalcitrant sea captain:
'Swim. - you, swim!'

A WARM RECEPTION.
II Gave the Hungry Preacher an Ap-
petite For Dinner.

Before accepting an invitation 1t is
as we'll 10 be sure it is given in good
faith. After an afternoon service held
many years ago in n certain village in
Scotland the preacher, stranger, who
had ofiiciated, accompanied one of the
elders Of the congregation home and
was introduced to his wife. The good
man having asked the clergyman to
stay TO dinner, the latter. after little
pressing, consented.
The good lady hurried Off TO prepare
FOR the unexpected guest, and. seeing.
as she thought, her husband washing,
as was the custom in those days, at
the family sink, she seized the family
Bible. approached stealthily from be
hind and brought down the ponderous
tome upon his bald pate, exclaiming:
TAX We that for bringing hungry
preachers here TO dinner every time
they come to the parish"
As soon as the assaulted one could
get the sudS ont of his eyes he looked
about him and, after thinking the mat.
ter out, concluded that the old lady
had made a slight mistake. She. too,
came to the same conclusion when. on
returning TO the parlor, she beheld her
husband patiently waiting for his rev
erend friend.-Dundee Advertiser.

Value of Oil on Roads.

The practical advantages to be de-
rived by the Oiling of roads has been
very conclusively demonstrated this
summer, when we have had so much
dry weather. When the Rising sun
Pennington macadam road was top
dressed some weeks ago oil was ap-
piled to a portion of 1t as an expert
ment, and everyone who has had oc-
casion to use the road since has been
convinced that the money expended
for the 10 barrels applied has gone
further and done more good than any
like amount expended on the road
since its construction. 1t has kept the
dust down, and also prevented the
topdressing from being blown off the
road by the wind and scattered about
by travel, permitting it to become a
sort of binder and being a great bene-
fit to the road.
The use of oil on roads has passed
the experimental stage, it's beneficial
results being so readily seen wherever
1t has been tried that it has become
big factor in road Improvement in
every section where this important
question is given the attention it just
ly deserves.

reason, that the possession of these

trust so stupendous as a money-mak-
er that the Standard Oil and the Steel
Trust viii be dwarfed beside it, The
steal is under way, and has been in
progress for several years. Roosevelt
made show Of conserving these pow
ers for the people, but Taft appar-
entity is running things wide open,
giving the big fellows full sway in
gobbling the water ways. AS result
there has arisen a movement for a re-
turn to the ROoseveltian policy. As

POSTAL DEFICITS

! The deficit in the Post Office De
partment last year was $4,000, 600
! the highest ever known; this year it
will go still higher and may exceed
S2O,OO0.OOO. Postmaster General
Hitchcock insists that these deficits
shall be put an end to. The govern
ment has no desire to make money
out of it's postal business, but it does
not want to lose in it, especially when
that loss is due to a poor division or
arrangement of the service Most of
our postal service pays handsomely;
some of it is a heavy drain on the
government, paying out more for the
handling of the mails than it takes
in. Many of the methods in use are
cumbersome and expensive; and
some Of the bureaus need over
hauling.
Mr.. Hitchcock seems to be going
about the matter in a practical busi-
nesslike way. Instead Of trifiing with
experiments, putting new bureaus in
to operation, he has set to work to
see where the leaks are and how the
postal expense can be reduced. The
registry department is now under in
vestigation by a special commission
Of forty-odd experts, it having shown
a growing deficit from year to year.
The money order department is to
receive a similar overhau1ing, it also
having developed series of de-
ficits.
Finally, Mr.. Hitchcock proposes to
look into the abuse of the franking
privilege, by which government off,
cials and members of congress send
matter free through the mail. This
franking provision, which had much
to recommend it at the beginning,
has grown into a great abuse, especi-
ally through a presidential campaign,
when the mails are loaded down with
the campaign speeches and literature
of all political parties. There is no
way Of determining just how much
this practice has cost the govern
ment; but 1t runs well up in the mil
lions. Postmasters General have
hesitatcd to attack it, not wishing to
arouse the enmity and antagonism
Of congress; but Mr.. Hitchcock is a
man of aggressive courage, and
shows determination to break up OF
limit this deadheading business which
causes deficit in his department;
and serves as an excuse for it's re.
fusal of many postal improvement!
We need, ought to have and could get
but for this waste Of money on
franking which brings little benefi
to the people Of the country.

THERE is LAND FOR EVERY
BODY.
The Great Northwest Is Welcoming
Tens OF Thousands of New Set
tiers.

In his article on Making the
Homes of the New Northwest" which
appears in The Delineator for Oc-
tober, F. G. Moorehead says:
Homes are to be had for practical
ly all who apply, and hardships and
high prices do not and should not
count In the face of independence and
future prosperity. Public lands in
the United States, subject to entry
and settlement, amount in area to
twenty-three times all the acres de-
voted to all agricultural pursuits in
Iowa, the greatest agricultural State
In the world. Were all the acres
tillable, no less than four and three
quarter million families might re-
ceive their allowance of one hun
dred and sixty acres and indepen-
dence. Each year the population Of
Trenton. New Jersey. or Oakland Cal
ifornia, finds homes in the new North
west and still public lands remain to
supply one hundred and sixty-acre
homes to every man woman and
child in New York city and Philadel-
phia combined.
The terms are easy, yet harder
than they were. 1t is now necessary
to make ones residence on the home
stead fourteen months before secur-
ing permission to commute, and by
paying a small amount receive patent
to the land. A short time ago the
residence requirements were eight
months. The price asked is small,
from fifty cents to a few dollars an
acre, with time allowed in which to
make the payments Or one may
live on the land continually for five
years and cultivate it and so get it
free of cost.
