FAMOUS PRAYER.
1t Has Long Been Believed To Be a
TaIisman Against Evil.
Est. Louis Republic,

[St. Louis Republic.1
Among the papers and relics of a woman
who died some years ago ON the Pacific
Coast was found what many people be-
lieye to be a very efficacious prayer, with
the following explanation
This prayer was found In the fiitieth
veal Of our Lord, and again in the year
1915. 1t was sent by the Pope to Emper-
| or Charles V. when lie was going to bat
| tie, for his safety, and whosoeyer shall
repent this prayer, hear it read or keep
it about him shall never die a sudden
death, or fall into the hands OF his enc
mics, or be burnt in any fire, or be over
powered in IL battle. Being read over
a woman in labor she shall be safely de-
livered childbirth. If you see a man in
fits lay this prayer on his right side, and
he shall rise up and thank you and he
who shall write this from house to house
shall be blessed by me, says the Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, and he who shall
laugh at it shall suffer.
Cross of Christ, ward off from me a
dangerous death and always give me life!
D adorable Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, dying on the gallows tree of the
cross for our sins; altogether holy cross of
Christ, see how / believe in thee!
O holy cross of Christ, tie up in me all
the good and truth!
o holy cross of Christ, will | be on the
right way to happiness?
o holy CROSS of Christ, ward off from me
a dangerous death and always give me life!
O crucitied Jesus of Nazareth, have
mercy on me, that the enemy may keep
off from me now and forever more i'll /.
honor of Jesus Christ; in honor OF His
blessed and sacred passion and unmerci-
full death; in honor of His holy resurrec-
ton and Godlike ascension through which
He likes to bring us in the right way to
heaven. True, as Jesus was born on
Christmas Day in a stable in Bethlehem;
true as He was circumsized on New-Year's
Day; true as the three Kings brought
their offerings to Him OH the twelfth day;
true as He assembled into heaven, SO the
honor OF Jesus Christ will spare me from
all my enemies to be seen and not seen.
Now and forever into thy hands, 0 Lord, |
l offer myself. Amen.
O Jesus, have mercy on me. 0 Mary
and Joseph, pray tor me through Nico-
demus and Joseph of Arimathea, who
took Him down from the cross and buried
Him.
o Lord Jesus, through the bitter agony
Thou hast suffer on the cross in particular
when your soul was parting from your
body, have mercy on my poor soul when
it parts from its mortal body and this
sinful world.
o Jesus save INC that I may carry n y
cross with Thee, and teach me that | may
make my danger all good. Amen.

0Oyernor-Elect Wilson's Policy

Woodrow Wilson's nomination has
proved to be a mastery STOKE tor the
Democrats OF New Jersey. His speeches
were the most chasle snu most 1Orclble
ever given on the stump Ill New jersey.

raised the party standard " a higher
moral STANDING than ever before Ill lie
State.
Dl. Wilson has Leen a close student
OF politics and a teacher al well as d
writer OF scientifc practical politics for
years. Some Call it theoretical politics.
Surely it was no The low cunning,
nor schemlng, lOgrOlling kind OF prac-
tical pollIics.
Thousands have accepted his words
as The tue theory OF practical politics
to be put INTO practice. HIS Calls to
COUNCIL, his plans for open discussions
have been accepted by the greatest
victory ever received by his arty i'll the
State. His was not a PARTISAN victory.
If lie makes as good i'll his admins

Practical Pig Pen Points
Kansas Farmer !

(Kansas Farmer)
Kansas possesses the climate, the
soil and the brains to raise the best,
the most perfect and the most pratt
able hog In the world.
Every Kansas hog should have his
! ration Of alfalfa every day of his life.
Cholera usually affects the younger
pigs and hogs first.
At present prices, it will pay well
to have as many houses as there are
sizes Of pigs In the herd.
A hog needs twice the air space In
proportion to his size than Goes the
horse or the COW, yet he canaet stand
one-half Of the exposure to the wind
ana weather.
II the hogs are dying aud the cause
cannot be found, have an expert hold
a post mortem.
FrezeR alfalfa may kill . hog as
we'll as COW or horse. 1t IS usually
indigestible.
A hog cannot sleep comfortably In
a draft of wind, he will catch cold
very easily.
A cough in hog means an irrlta-
ton In the throat or lungs and may
lead to serious results.
Pneumonia kills many pigs before
the herd gets used to sleeping ia
damp pens Or drafts.
If hog misses feed, watch him;

In 1909 letters were sent out from
Kansas Agricultural college to the
farmers Of the state IN order TO get 81
idea of the poultry conditions existing
In the state. or 234 farmers which
reported 11S kept Plymouth Rocks, So
LeghUrns, 81 RhOde Island Reds and
Fl Wyandottes. Many farmers kept
two or more breeds. This shows the
popularity Of the Plymouth Rocks
and there are several good reasons for
this popularity. The Plymouth Rock
is . tride heavier than either the
Wyandetts or the Rhode Island Red
they are slower to mature than the
WyOndsttes, but make excellent
winter layers when patched early and
bred for that purpose. During the
past two years an experiment. has
been carried on at the college to de-
