Happy, Tn ough Married.
Chicago Journal.

Chicago Journal.
"The mere fact that anyone in
the United States with a legiti-
mate grievance can get a divorce
proves that the great majority
who stay married are happy"
says the editor of the American
Suffragette. Her doctrine appears
to be sound.
Those cynics who constantly
harp upon the laxness OF married
ties, and condemn American wo.
men as spendthrifts and lazy,
are more familiar with the inside
OF lobster places than the inside
OF the average American home.
Big cities, it in true, have a ten
dancy to destroy home life, and
do not offer the best opportuni-
ty for bringing up children either
from the moral orphysical stand
point. But the iat-hOuse holds
just as large a percentage ofhap-
py homes as can be found am
ong dwellers in towns, villages,
or open country.
The human brain Graves q GER
tain amount OF amusement, but
II Is the occasional, and not tho
average, woman that loves the
bright lights and the crash Of
music better than than their own
home.
Half the divorces are due to
hasty and ill.con1idered action,
with no cause that a period Of
reflection and calm consi dera.
tion would not find trivial. Ere.
quently, mistaken pride and the
advice Of foolish friends are to
blame for tanning some petty
disagreement into q home de.
stroying fire.

A Great Farmer and a Great Man.

New York Sun.
A Missouri Farmer, Dayid Ran
kin, has just died leaving q for.
tune Of $3, 500, 900 which he had
made out OF agriculture honest
ly, without shaving or niggardli-
ness; for he had always taken a
great interest in civic affairs. Civ
en- in philanthropy as much per.
haps as he left, built up a poor
Missouri town into a thriving
municipality and endowed it's
college with a quarter Of O mill
ion.
His career is OF more interest
to the country than that ofmany
other men who have made even
greater fortunes, in that he proy-
ed what brains applied to the
development Of our greatest nat
ural industry will accomplish.
When men were pushing west
ward to try their luck in t b g
mines of the Rockies or on ran
ches of the short grass country
OF Kansas, Mr.. Rankia stopped
in Missouri and took up t b e
more certain means of a liveli-
hood on the rich farming lands
in the northwestern part OF the
State. He made hills OF corn
grow where none had eyer grown
before, aud acres grow in value
from SO to SIS to .$75 and
500. He had fifty poor acres
when he started; he had 1000
acres capable Of the highest cul.
tivatiOn when he died. In 1906
he planted 10000 in corn a n d
raised nearly a million bushels.
He attained a world reputation
as an authority on corn raising.
becauss he made it a study, and
agricultural experts came from
Europe to learn his meth Ols.
What Coburn of Kansas g q i d
could be done, Rankin ofMissou.
RI proved,
The last census has shown that
Missouri as we'll as many other
states has lost in rural popula-
ton, and there are those " h O
complain that people leave the
farms to become, poor stenogra-
piers. poor clerks, poor some.
thing or other. The Isolation
and loneliness" OF the country
drives them to the cities, it ia
said. Perhaps that phase OF life
never bothered Mr.. Rankin. In
bis early life he was too busy to
think much about it; in his lat
ter years this isolation was the
opening OF one OF the finest coun.
try houses in the West. He had
more horses to drive than he
needed; ns many automobiles Az
he wanted; he visited Eastern
cities when hp felt like It; lie went
to Europe when be wished. He
could afford it; his income grew
from nothing to $130,00O per
year, 1t is doubtful if many OF
those accused OF this exodus to-
the city would ever have become
David Rankin. They would have
been about as much failures on
the farm as in the city. Besides.
their presence helps some strug-
CLING municipality to keep up ap
pearances at census taking time.
Modern farming requires brains
and industry.
To people thus equipped Mr..
Rankin's career must appeal
strongly. Agriculture, though
one of the Oldest, is not the most
highly developed Of our indus.

yer.
No word of more masterful
meaning has eyer been uttered
BY human tongue, or carries with
it more depth OF power and great
mss than opportunity. This lit
tie word implies q vast deal more
than what the world has con-
ceived of. Opportunity, which
flies from the anvil and born
with power, and the success uf
every young man depends large
ly, If not entirely, upon emhra-
cling each golden spark OF oppor-
tunity which flies from the anvil
of time. The rising sun of each
day brings opportunity to our
door, and il we do not accept it
and use our energies to materi-
alize, then it is our tault, and not
the fault Of opportunity. No
man was eyer horn but what op.
portuity presented itself in his
life many, many times, and it
il the man himself that builds his
success in life. The successful man
il the young man who begins
right, taking advantageof Of every
golden opportunity offered, and
striving with diligence and retir-
ing energy to reach the goal Of
life. Without these two requisites
opportunity does not 'linger.
These principles are absolutely
necessary to accomplish any
thing, Show me a young man Of
energy and ambition, and 1 will
show you q successful nan. No
young n,an should become die
couraged because he thinks op-
portunity has not knocked at
his door. Be patient, young mani
Do the work well; be honest, be
upright IN all dealings; be just to
thy fellow-man and all things
will come to thee which will make
thy life a blessing to thee and
thy fellow man. THIS wo Id would
be almost q Paradise, if all the
golden opportunities which pre-
sent themselves in our lives were
embraced. Opportunity presents
itself at times to us when we see-
mngly are fast asleep and apPa-
rently in a world Mdreams. 1t is
onr fault and not the lack OF op-
portunity that retards our pro-
gress and success in life. This
world is not unfair to anyone.
No young man can claim that he
never has opportunities to do
better. 1t is the lault with the
man and not opportunity.
The great trouble with most
young men is that they are not
ambitions, and therefore content
themselves with the small things
Of life, and later in life blame fate
or the lack of opportunity for
their nonsuccess, when in reality
it is their fault. Wake up, young
man, and belize u military guard
ON watch, and you will find gol.
den opportunity everywhere. Re-
member there is no such thing as
Opportunity knocking at q
mans door only once" 1t is al
ways knocking, knocking daily
with love, knocking with power,
and trying to enter the heart
and soul Of every one. This ,s the
day Of opportunity. Wake up,
young man to the realization
that; this old world, every pass
ing moment Of time, is Offering
golden opportunity which will
either make you q successful and
happy man, or q miserable fail
ure.

The Man at The Pole.

St. Louis Republic.
IT. a man could live at the north
pole through 100 days he would
be 100 years old, for a year at
the pole is made up OF just one
day and one night.
About the 21st day of March
the sun peeps above the horizon
but not in the east, for to b G
man on the pole there is no east,
or west or north. There is no.
where to 60 but south. A few
days later the sun is apparently
rolling around on the horizon
tor the entire twenty. -four hours.
Without a time piece the man at
the pole could not distinguish
the Goth day Of March from the
30th of March. To paraphrase a
popular saying, all the. days in
the calander look alike to him.
After apparently rolling over
the horizon for sixty or seventy
honrs the sun, always in full
view, begins a slowly ascending
spiral until it reaches an altitude
OF twenty.three and a half de-
grees. There are ninety degrees
from the horizon to the zenith,
and twenty-three and q half are
considerably lpss than q third Of
ninety degrees. So the man at
the pole doesn't have to lean
backward to gaze at the midday
sun.
After some two or three days
at it's greatest altitude the sun
begins a slowly descending spiral
course, and about the middle of
September it IL again rolling q.
round the horizon, aud @ few
hours later, at the last edge Of it
disappears below the horizon,
night ensues-a night that lasts
from Sept 21 until the fol low.
ing March 81.
The man at the pole sees all
the stars in the northern half OF
tue celestial armament at one
time. He does not have to wait
fer the revolution of the earth
on the axis to bring any Of them
into view. But he can never sec
many Of tue stars we see, just as
we stay ct homers are never able
to see the Southern Cross a n d
other consultations oi the south
ern celestial hemisphere. The
moon visits the man at the pole
and keeps him company for
weeks, circling the horizon just
as the sun did, but q lower alti-
tude.
The north star, Polar is, is al
most directly overhead. 1t ~ q
degree and a fraction, you know,
out Of true north.
At the pole all meridians OF
longitude meet. So to describe
ones position there no longitude
is necessary-only latitude 80 de-
grees.
The north pole OF the compass
points south at the north pole
So. indeed, does the South pnle
Of The compass, for south is the
only direction away from the
north pole.
The stars appear brighter, a
star OF one magnitude less than
can be seen in the United States
being easily visible in the arctic
regions.
No rotation Of the earth takes
place at the poles. So II Mr.. Man
was at the equator he would be
turning with the earth at the
rate OF over q thousand miles an
hour, while u at the exact pole he
would not turn at all-or at
most, II be stood stock still for
twenty four hours, he himself
would rotate inst once.
The pole is the nearest point
on the surface Of the earth to the
center Of the earth. Conseq uent-
ly on leaving the pole one would
have to be continually marching

The problem OF proper accommoda-
tions for Afro-Americans seems to
have been adequately solved in New
Orleans, La, by II. E. Braden in the
maintenance of the Astoria Hotel.
which to all intentS and purposes is a
real. first class hotel. Constant trav-
elers bemOan the fact that it is ex-
ceedingly difficult to find a public
place, even in our largest cities, where
comfortable accommodations can be
had with the security, freedom and
yet absolute privacy furnished in well
regulated homes.
Mr.. Braden deserves special com
mendation for the effort he is making
at New Orleans, and it is well to note
that he receives liberal patronage from
the travelling public and the people of
the city.
The cafe, private dining rooms and
all lodging compartments are all tha.
could be desired. Telephone connec-
tions, baths, respectful attendants go
to make up that peculiar service that
is gratifying to the traveller, who, SO
to speak, has been up against it, in
the average places Of accommodation
for our people.
The cafe is the general meeting place
for New Orleans society people, and
here on frequent occasions private
parties, theater parties and many of
the best people Of the city entertain
and are entertained. Mr.. Braden's
success is remarkable example of
what good and courteous treatment
and splendid service will bring to a

Fifty years of suooess have proved
the merits Of this preparation.

What is more attractive than beautiful
head of hair? 1t has been the ambition OF
women in all ages. The use Of Ford's hsir

curly hair softer, more Q p!iAbls and glossy.
easy to comb and arrange in any style de-
sired consistent with its length as long as
the Pomade remains in the hair. This result
may be obtained by one thorough application
according TO directions. Two to four applica-
