The Measure or Mankind

The cup of cold water; not pre-
ferring the great man to the man of
low condition; a heart weighing
right in the balance-how strange
that through the thousands of years
since creation, and the billions of
men and women who have passed
this way, the measure of mankind
remains. And stranger still, no man
or women who walks the earth to-day
can escaped being measured by this
standard. Whatever the class or
complexion or creed, the man or
women who would make a success Of
life must walk this way. 1t is the
way of life. Love, service, a pure
heart. By these all men measure
every man; the world-soul measures
the individual soul; and in so far as
it lacks in these it is off the road of
real happiness, and headed for mis-
cry and failure.
And life is so much sweeter when
we can attune u spirits to the
Great Spirit; when we can join u
fellows in inspiring antiphony with
the morning stars singing in glory;
when, at the g~rave-side, through
the rainbow of u tears we can
see the ra diant promise. Erman j..
Ridgway in the Delineator for July.

Concerning Trees

From many letters received by the
Secretary of the South Dakota State
Horticultural Society. it appears
that certain agents from outside the
state are now selling large numbers
of Hardy Catalpa' trees. The
Hardy Capalpa'' is a beautiful tree
of rapid growth, native of south
eastern Illinois and Indiana to
Louisiana and Mississippi. In south
ern Iowa, Kansas and other southern
states the timber is found to be ex-
ceedingly durable for fence posts,
but the southern origin of the Cat
alpa does not ft it for Dakota
prairies and it should not be planted
anywhere in South Dakota with the
expectation of good results as a tim
Der tree. 1t has been tried in many
places in the state but the general
experience is very unfayorable.
For purely ornamental purposes, a
tree or two in a place where it may
come up in bush form when killed
