The Troubles Of French Academician.
The candidate, once elected, is bound
to pronounce harangue before he is
allowed to take part in the work of
the noble body. The director who hap
pens to be in Office answers him. This
grafton is invariably, or at least should
be, composed first Of thanks, more or
less humble, for the great honor con-
ferred, then of a panegyric Of the hap
by ones predecessor. And, oh. how
difficult that sometimes must be! More
than one has rushed to the encyclope-
|dia, then to the libraries, so as to get
some clear notion Of the illustrious ex-
immortal! Then fate is often ironical.
A historian may have to celebrate the
talent of writer Of light comedies, a
legitimist may have to praise Social
list. or else the newly elected member
may shave to speak of his most init
mate enemy.-Jeanne Mairet in At
lantic.

This story is being told on Swede
In central Kansas who was given to
excessive use of the bottle. He was
working at a certain house, doing odd
jobs. and the daughter Of the house
knew Of his reprehensible habits. She
thought it time for some one to re-
monstrate with him on the error of his
ways.
"Why," she asked, "are you not
ashamed to spend all your wages and
make your wife take in washing
Why don't you give her some money!
"Well." he answered, 81 have an in
come besides my wages"
"Oh, is that sop said the daughter,
somewhat Modified.
Eyes" he said, 81 have an income
from the queen of Sweden"
'What for?" asked the girl
''For minding my own business" an
swered the Swede, going on with his
work.-Kansas City Journal.

Ancient Derricks.

Probably the Oldest derricks still in
use are the two built at Trier, in Ger
many, in the year 1413 and the one
built in 1854 at Andernach, also in Ger
many. All these three derricks are
built on the same principle. In the
middle Of a massive A frame tower is
located the swinging or main boom,
20 by 20 inches, whose iron pivot
moves in pan shaped bearing cup.
On top are fastened the guy ropes and
the cap, which is also movable. The

fastened to the main boom. The; load

THE BABY CROP.
Worth More Than All Other Crops as a
National Asset.

WORM MORE ] nan All Otner drops as
National Asset.
When you come to think of it, there's
no escaping the conclusion that the
baby crop is worth more to this good
country Of ours than all the corn,
wheat, cotton, beef and poultry prod
ucts put together-wo more in dol
lars and cents. Untimely frosts, the
boil weevil, the wheat rust, the green
aphis and all the other crop and ami
NAL scourges couldn't work so great a
national disaster as a genuine baby
famine.
And it is simply appalling to think
what would happen to our national
temperament If babies were abolished.
Our sense Of humor would instantly go
glimmering, and smiles would become
rarer than black hollyhocks. The edu-
cation of parents in all the little arts
of tenderness would go into instant
decline, and we would speedily become
a nation of ossified hearts and sour
faces.
Babies are the chief apostles of I'M
selfish affection. All the world admits
that. The mother who has constantly
maintained an attitude of unalloyed
selfishness toward all the world will
go to the depths Of self denial and sac
rifice for the helpless child, and men
of fiery and autocratic temperament
become meek and plastic disciples in
schools of patience and restraint where
in their own babies are the teachers
and disciplinarians.-Red Book.

HISTORY ON A TUsK.
Picture Made by Cave Man Millions
of Years AGO.

Picture MADE by Cave Man Millions
of Years Ago.
Long ago, so long that even scien-
fist would hardly dare venture guess
as to the date, man clad with only
a wild beasts skin about his loins was
sitting at the mouth of cave In one
of the rocky highlands in what is now
southern France. He was scratching
with a sharp flint on the fragments
of an ivory tusk, perhaps picturing for
some youthful admirers adventures
through which he had passed or ami
mails he had slain. That ivory chip
was stored away as a treasure, to be
lost and forgotten after the cave mans
death. One day man named Lartet,
digging in the cavern floor, found it.
On 1t was scratched very fair rep
resentation of the hairy elephant,
probably at once the oldest picture
and the oldest human record in ex-
istence.
We know the cave man was faith
ful workman, for the melting icetfields
of Siberia have yielded a perfect speci-
men of this extinct mammal, and the
paleolithlc picture is true copy. Not
only has this ancient sculptor given us
a sample of the earliest art, but he has
left us, more valuable than all, his
,torical record Of his time, for this
rude picture is simply page from the
cave mans history which, translated
into twentieth century English, says,
Men, thinking men, We're contempt
raneous with the hairy elephant"
No record that any Of humankind
have ever left is half SO ancient as
this. The oldest Egyptian papyrus is
a thing Of yesterday compared to this
paleolithic sculpture. While the cave
man was living in Europe the valley
OF the Nile was vet only wild waste
Egypt was not yet Egypt, and civiliza-
ton as we know it had scarcely made
beginning. -Kippincott's

Farmers Conference.

Contributed
The fourth annual meeting of the con-
ference OF colored farmers of Vance
county was held in Henderson on the
7th day of Sept, 1909, at the Henderson
Normal Institute. Notwithstanding the
threatening aspect of the weather, at
an early hour of the day the farmers
might be seen coming in with their vari-
Gus specimens of products. Both men
and women as farmers were competing
for prizes. The exhibit room by II
O'Clock was filled with specimens OF vari-
Gus kinds, and cookies presented by the
ladies were too numerous to mention,
and during the time the committee and
judges were busy in their room, the farm
ers had lively and interesting discus
sion going on in the auditorium. Farm
ing as profession and diversified farm
ing seemed to be the leading topics
Concluding, the farmers resolved to go
home and set in practice the good ad-
vice preached, and to meet one another
next conference with fatter teams and
finer products. This was said to be the
best meeting in the short history of the
conference
Resolutions were passed thanking the
white citizens for their liberality in Civ
ing prizes and money with which to
purchase prizes, thereby helping to make
the conference a success.
Prof r. W. Dawkins, Of Durham, was
as good as ever was listened to by man
President Cotton seems to be acquainted
with all the good speakers and gets one

Thirty or more prizes amounting to

accessible point. | thought it must be
fine to be reporter besides, supposed

and easiest snap which would return to
me the largest amount OF shekles. My
mind has long since become dissuaded
on this point. The editor in charge OF
the city desk assigned me to the residence
OF Cardinal Gibbons, with instructions
to secure a contradiction OF story
which appeared in a rival paper that

revivalist's headquarters and finding q
seat on one of the camp stools was
soon happily clasped in the arms of
Morpheus. On awakening in a rather
muddled condition l wandered towards
the platform, thinking l was going to
the exit of the pavilion. Just at this
time the converts were advancing to the
platform with the intention OF profess

"The revivalist advancing in my direc-
ton placed his hand on my shoulder and
