NOT FOR MANUEL.

1t may seem a little strange to the
ordinary citizen that some of the kings
ana emperors Of Europe DO not lend
| hand to little Manuel and get him
back his throne. They not only should
do this for family reasons and from
sympathy, but it stands them in hand
TO stop at the start a stampede which
may run over some other royal per-
son.
But the crowned heads of Europe
won't do it. In spite of all their pomp
ana pageantry, their gilded uniforms
ana splendid palaces, they ''dassent"
40 IT, There is not a ruler in Europe
VINO dares go against public sentiment,
and the people of every country sym
path1ze with the insurgents in Portu-
gal. King George of England couldn't
turn wheel to help Manuel, Emperor
William has all he can do to keep his
own crown on straight. The Italian
| king does not dare look around. AL
fonso of Spain has his own automo
| bile ready to run for safety. The car
| of all the Russias does not have the
ability to start little war on Portugal
without knowing he might get the next
bomb himself.
Only a few years ago and Manuel
could have had the help Of some of
the monarchs of Europe. but in this
year of our Lord. 1910. not one of
them dare give him a pleasant look
and the representatives of every one of
them will recognize the new republic
in spite Of the feeling that it is only
step in the direction of their own
downfall.-Hutchins News.

A GOOD TOWN.
Every town has it's advantages and
should make the most of them. Every
town is fitted for some one enter
prise more than another and as soon
as it is ascertained what would be
most conducive to the growth and
mr. nP In ri RitiznnC
should take hold of the matter and
push it for all there is in it. One man
can not make town. The newspa-
pers can rot do it. But one man on
a newspaper with the help of the wide
awake men of the place all pulling to-
gether can make a wide difference in
a place. Every man who succeeds In
a town is a help to it. The more
money he makes, if he spends it, the
better for the community The larger
business he builds up, the more he ad-
vertises, the more attention is called to
the town. A man can not build up an
honorable business in a town without
helping the town. A town can not
build up without helping the country.
The interest of one is the interest of
all The rivalry that sometimes exists
between towns in the same country is
short sighted policy.-Harveyville

FIELDS oWAfSM With bAOAGINAA
Now the farmer is told that he has
other friends and enemies than these
he has been taking account of. The
fields he cultivates swarm with ba-
terra. If those which are hostile to
him get the upper hand of their in
visible adversaries he will have poor
crops. If victory shall incline the
other way he will have big harvests.
There are helT full bacteria which add
nitrogen to the soil and make it more
fertile. There are other bacteria whose
malignant activity may undo that good
work. These unseen foes are more to
be dreaded by the farmer than the
crow, the field mouse and other visible
adversaries on which he has wasted
many hard words. AS he invokes the
aid of religion so that good may over
come evil in his bosom, so should he
call on the scientist to clean out the
bad bacteria.-Winfield Courier.
