New Hampshire Arricultnre.

The agricultural statistics of the state
OF New Hampshire, made public bv the
census bureau and printed elsewhere in
this paper may be seized upon hastily
and quoted as showing decline in the
farming interests Of the Granite state.
We do not think that careful examina
ton viii bear out this view Of the
meaning.
II is true that they show a decrease
I'm the ten years from 1900 to 1910 Of
eight per cent. in the whole number OF
farms in the state, of ten per cent. in
the total farm acreage. and of fourteen
per cent. IN the total improved farm
acreage.
The facts upon which these figures
are based are largely due in our belief
to the remarkable rise in value of timber
products and the consequent abandon
ment Of many farms as farms and the
reversion Of their many acres to wood
land. There is no doubt that under pres
ent conditions timber is the most profit
able crop that can be raised on a con
siderable portion of New Hampshire's
surface, and il is to the credit OF our
landowners, rather than otherwise. that
they are beginning TO realize the fact
and to act intelligently in regard to it,.
But look at the figures of increases"
given by the census bureau! The aver
age value per acre of farm land has in
creased 40 per cent. in the decade; as
sure sign OF industrial prosperity as
could be desired The use of fertilizers
has increased 80 per cent. in the ten
years, showing that our farmers are
abandoning rapidly the suicidal policy
of taking all they can out Of the soil
and putting nothing back Increases Of
10 per cent. in the total value Of farm
buildings and Of IA per cent. in the to-
tai value of farm machinery and nipple
ments are further evidence that our az.
rieulturists realize the aid that modern
progress and invention can be TO them
IN the intelligent utilization of their
raw materials, the soil and its prod
ucts.
Statistics TO follow later win show,
we expect, much progress on our farms
in the way OF profitable specialization
in crops and development OF markets.
In the meantime these first figures. in
our view, reflect healthy condition,
on the whole. ia New Hampshire agri

WAS ever anything more piteous:2
w asked the bride. ''Such faith ought to
bring her some reward. You must go in and
see if you can help her baby"
With all my heart. Armada mia" the
man answered And | shall say that the
Lady of Compassion has come to bring help
to the child. Only you must come with me-
Your face will bring as much healing as my
medicine"
The car stopped under the sycamores
among the flurried hens and ducks. The
strangers walked up to the whitewashed
door, the blue rObed lady going first.
Peace said the wondering cnrandera
with dignity. The house is yours" Car
mela was bent over Gracioza.
THE Lady of Compassion comes to bring
aid to your baby" said the young doctor in
his hesitating Spanish, in his rich grave voice.
Carmela turned, her face shining. So
soon, Then the Virgin had at last lstenedl
Isl, Sej5Or, the little one goes from me-
said Carmela, and she held out Gracioza,
now wasted to parchment effigy of a child,
with dark eyes pathetically bright.
What does the child eat?" the doctor
asked iudicially.
Milk, tortillas, frijoles, dulces, coffee
all that is good

And does she drink the water from this

here before Father Peyri came to build the

Listen then, Your baby must sleep out
Of doors every night and every day with
never any covering over her face. Never
must she sleep in this room again. She is
starving for lack of air and proper food
starving, do you understand"
"A fool, a fool" muttered old Angela,
while Carrnela stood dazed.
She must now have only goats milk

more. She must drink no water that has not

much as encountering a single person who
had ever seen or heard of the girl he sought
MEANTIME, rumors that Princess OF ex-
IVA traordinary beauty, wealth, and clever
ness was actually adrift, incogn1to, IN America
had been credited with truth, despite the
fact that all eager swelldom had valniy
sought to find her out from somewhat vague
descriptions She was said to be blond and
brunette together, headstrong, entirely COS
mopolitan, weary of Europe, inclined toward
an American alliance and the promised guest
of some woman once met abroad
To Alice Van Kifk these stories came, and
met exceptionally cordial hospitality Such
excitement as her nature and spirit permit
ted increased in her being every hour. AT
the end of a week of Thurley's tuition the
well known Van Kirk impatIence chated, no
longer however at the mere delay IN pre-
senting her protegee, but instead at her own
fastidiousness of choice in means whereby
to promote the impending discovery TO best
advantage.
The Horse Show was a week away, the
opera nearly two. Before the former and
the Metropolitan opening, Thurley should
already be heralded or much valued time
would be lost. A veritable triumph at Madi-
son Square was the premiere of Alice's de
mands of the situation, such power would
the victory bestow.
She dared not jeopardize structure built
upon the frailty of this new experiment by
undue haste, unwisdom, or self started claims
concerning Thurley. The cleverness Of her
intentions was worthy of her well known in
genuity and clarity of vision Hence the
worry that possessed her day and night as she
purnmeled her wits to meet the crucial mo-
ment and event of launching Thurley forth
upon a social startlc i Y Grid that would think
it instantly pierced iler IDENTITY for itself.

NEVERTHELESS, f,

NEVERTHELESS, for the two or three
~ days next succeeding her emotions of
bewilderment increased. Neither her mind
nor her nature could grasp the full signif-
icance of Alice Van Kinks prodgious wealth.
She could not behold the prOdigality of
spending upon herself and avoid feeling stag
gered and appalled,.
Alice induced her gently, with skill and
finesse of the utmost art, toward the nom
chalance, poise, and department of those
long accustomed to the favors OF the gods.
Her pupil was apt and plant. Her natural
grace, plus her exceptional powers of obser-
walton and intuition, rendered Thurley in
stantly amenable to the slightest desires and
pressures of the woman now mold1ng her
anew.
That certain regal essence of her being
naturally inherent, foWered in exquisite
charm. Graciousness claimed her for its
own. Her beauty was heightened and re-
fined. Over coachmen and footmen who
were assigned with her own particular car
riages to her needs she assumed a monarch
ical proprietorship that delighted their very
souls.
BY every possible device of modesty and
retirement, Alice conducted this schooling
of her Princess, as it were, behind the scenes.
Not even Robley Stuyverant was aware of
his abetter's find. He had fretted, stormed,
implored the Fates and Alice, and run amuck
through drawing rooms and the first of the
seasons functions, without, of course, so

The Master merely wished us TO un-

not be foretold in advance.
The parable does not show how the
foolish Virgins. excluded from the
wedding and from membership in the
Bride -ciass-wtH- e-tfeated.-0ther
Scriptures, however, show that this
foolish virgin class will share with
the world In a great time OF trouble,

for the gathering OF the elect" that
all the Virgins will be awakened by
the message OF the Truth Some Will
be able 10 appreciate, others Will not
be able TO appreciate His presence.
The latter will need to "go and buy"
the oil, the wisdom, the understand
ing, of the Divine Word. II will cost
some OF them considerable OF self-sac-
rifice and humiliation to learn their
lessons. Such as obtain the oil in time
will join the party that will go In with
the Bridegroom to the marriage feast.
Then the door 10 that High Calling
will close forever.
Thank God that IL is not as we once
supposed-that the door OF mercy Is
to close, shutting out the foolish Vfr-
gins of the Church, together with the
whole world OF mankind; and. as we
once supposed, shutting them into
eternal torment. The parable merely
shows that the closed door will ex-
clude any others from coming into the
Bride class. to be joint-heirs with Mes
siah In His Kingdom. The door will
close because the full number elected
and predestinated to this high honor
will have attained the necessary char
acter-likeness OF Christ and will have
stood the necessary testings.
As no one OF the Jewish priests
could ever serve as High Priest IL he
had a superfuous finger or toe, II is
thus shown In the type that the anti
typical High Priest, the Messiah, Will
have only Il definite, fixed number OF
members in His Body-neither one too
few nor one too many. Later on, the
foolish Virgins came to the door,
but found IL forever shut. They lost
the great prize. They were foolish In
that they did not give attention TO
getting the oil In time; foolish also
In that they cared too much for the
things OF this present life; but they
were Virgins, nevertheless. They fin
ally got the oil. which represents the
Holy Spirit, but too late: The door
was shut. They could not be OF the
Bride class. The Master answered.
know you not. could not recognize
you as my Bride.
In view of this the Lord exhorts that
His consecrated followers OF the
Church or Virgin class be constantly
on the alert, because they know
neither the day or the hour OF the
Masters coming and OF the invitation
10 90 In TO the wedding. The parable
shows. however, that although the
time OF the Masters coming could not
be known in the past. nevertheless. 1t
would be known to all OF the Virgin
class "in due time" II will be an
nounced. as indicated In the cry. The
cry will be so loud that all OF the Vir-
gins will hear II, even though the
