ably less than fifty years hence. AS
practically all Of our public domain,

the great increase in production which

id increase in population must come from
the land now under cultivation. This
means that each state must practi cally
double its output within the next forty
or fifty years if future generations are to
be fed as we are fed at present. This can
only Re done by tie development of
greater degree OF skill on the part of the

grow everything that he needs for family

on special lines of production. The

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANSTOME
BY AN OLD BACHELOR.

Christmas to me means opportunity.
For what?
Opportunity for kindness.
1t is perhaps fifteen years since I re-
ceived a Christmas present. I'm an
old bachelor. and nobody remembers
me. Yet that doesn't make me glum
and grouchy at Christmas-no. Stree.
I'm not particularly fond Of children.
Maybe if ! were / would have mar
Ned and raised few of my own. Still,
l don't dislike the little ones. and ev-
cry year run across lot Of boys and
girls who have no Santa Claus OF their
own-little orphan fellows and Gods
poor. Well. when Christmas comes
along ! remember these children. I'm
their Santa Claus in a small way.
Last Christmas l spent 50 and made
nearly forty children happy. I've got
a ten dollar bill laid up to spend In
the same way this Christmas, and I'll
bet anybody another ten that the old
bachelor will get as much joy out Of
spending that tx" as all the little ones
combined.

Editor Tribune: The typical South
erner with long, unkempt hair, long,
lean and lank; dressed in homes pun
and high-water pants, is no more: h.
is all dead, such as used to stand
around the stockade here and shoot
Union soldiers for amusement. THIS
morning as I walked down the street
noticed a monument about forty
feet in height. I asked a colored boy
passing, what that was for, and h.,
said it was erected in the honor of
Henry Wirz, who commanded the
prison here during the civil war. In
passing around I was shown a piece
of poetry written in his honor. l
give the first four lines:
Yes, build him up a monument.

F'orty-seven years ago today, was
partaking of his hospitality Every
thing has changed here in that time.
The native pine forest has been clear
ed away and new growth, partly Of
hard wood, has taken its place. A
colored man volunteered to show nc
around. found the old stockade
ground enclosed by a woven wire
fence, and posts set, marking the
line of the stockade, and great many
