The woman who is principally 5ponsible for
the formation of the Internatio al Children's
School Farm league is Mrs. Henry Parsons Of
New York city. She has made a practical issue
of the "back to the soil' idea. and has been a
real mother to thousands. of children during the
past ten years. She managed to secure from the
city the privilege of using an old dumping ground
as a garden farm. So many children applied for
admission that hundreds had to be turned away.
The system she followed was to award to each
child a plot four by eight feet for three months.
Seven vegetables were planted and twice a year
crops were harvested. This was done under the
direction of assistant teachers and the crops
were given to the children.

The central thought of this chapter
Is that the root of all worldliness is
pride, arrogance of heart towards
God, and that the only remedy Is to
submit ones self to God, to humble
ones self in the sight of God. The
spirit of worldliness here takes the
specific form of presunptuous conf
dence in the feature, calculating on
time to come without reference to the
providence of God, as if the future
were in our hands.
The writer tells US that We ought to
say that If It be Gods will we shall
do so and SO. He is pleading that
Gods will shall have the right of way
even In u planning. One can not

/. Prince Albert, consort of the
late Queen Victoria, used to say:
Find out the plan of God in your
generation, and then beware lest you
cross that plan or fail to find your

and commonplace. Often you caught

larger life. At length the time came
when you started forth. Now 1t may
not be that you have seriously longed
to go back and bury yourself, as you
used to say, in that retired sphere
again. But have not the disappoint-

Ortis Hamilton in Pen.

Walla Walla, Ore.-Ortis Hamilton,
convict No. 5683, arrived at the state
penitentiary Saturday afternoon In
charge of George CASTOR, sheriff a,
Olympia. to begin serving an inde-
terminate sentence OF from one to ten
years. He has not been assigned to
any special work, but will be shown
no favors and will be put to work
wherever there is vacancy. Ham
ilton was in good spirits. By a strange
coincidence, his successor, George b
Lamping, was guest in the peni-
tentiary when Hamilton arrived to be-
gin his term.
Hamilton was sentenced for the
theft of $11SS Of the states money
and the misappropriation OF approx
mately $4,000 in funds. He comes
to prison with a promise made by
himself, his relatives and his friends
that he will not ask for a pardon or
parole inside Of five years.
Hamilton was arrested on May
last and confined in the county jail
two days later after an unsuccessful
attempt to get the $4,000 bail de-
manded. There he had been ever
since.

EX-PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
MAKES NIGGARDLY GIFT

Paris.-Henri Rochefort is again
directed against ex-President Loubet
of France, who is also in the list of
future presidents. NJ Loubet, it
seems, thought 200 francs $40) a
goodly sum to contribute toward the
relief of the flood sufferers. M. Lou
bets son has contributed so francs
(s10). Mr.. Rochefort says that while
Emile Loubet was president of the
French republic he drew from the
treasury a sum in salaries amounting
to 100000 francs. He goes further
and hints that the economical presi-
dent economized another million over
state dinners and receptions There
is a story told of two young men ar
rested for stealing loaf of bread
from a bakers wagon. When taken
to the police station they gave as their
excuse that they had been dining
with the president, whereupon the
judge remarked blandly: I'm that
case you are excused"
Rochefore claims that Loubet ac-
tually used to sell the game shot by
his guests at his hunting lodge at
Compiegne.
In view Of all these things old
Rochewort says he is not astonished
that the ex-president could only af-
ford $40 for the victims Of the flood
| Rochefort is terrible old man, and
woe be to any one, even a president
who is caught in the meshes Of his
big net.
