From "the Ring of Pope Xyslus. g

Nothing is good which cannot be held in common.
 Wound man with any weapon rather than with word.
 Wouldst thou be an educator--- then train myself in gentleness.
 If thy brother show lack of sense. urge him not to show it; and if he be incurable, help to guard him.
 Reckon it execrable to punish anyone even justly.
 Torture not thy body with thy soul, nor shalt thou torture thy soul with the pleasures of the body. - In liberating from his wrong-doing a doer of wrong thou wilt punish him as God punishes.

Better Farming and Soil Fertility

To the Editor of The Star.
 Dear Sir:---Please spare me space to speak a few words for better farming. farming that will build up and maintain the soil fertility.
 Brother Farmer, as pass through the country see so much land so nearly exhausted by continuous cropping that it has put me to study ing as to what must be done. There must be better farming to build up and maintain soil fertility. 1 have learned that it is as easy to build up as to run down a farm. Does not a man know when he continuously takes crop of corn, cotton and oats from his land and returns nothing to it that he is robbing it of it's fer tility. A better system of crop rota- tion must be followed. There should be one or more legumes in the rota- tion, such as clover and co wpeas. Here is my plan:
 Divide your farm into four fields. PuS one in clover, to remain two years, the first for meadow and the second year convert it into pasture, then in corn, then oats, followed with cowpeas, then repeat the clover. Do not have any crop except clover on the same ground two years in succession.
 And don't overlook the great value of barnyard manure. Save it with care and get all its strength into the soil.
 Every framer, to succeed as he should, must be a student of the requirements of his soil.

A Poet Lost 10 the World.

At Alton, H.. little girl Is years old---a mere baby---quivering under scolding given her by her foster mother, committed suicide in school house in the presence of her teacher and thirty of her school mates by drinking carbolic acid. Just before drinking the poison she wrote the following letter, which was found after her death:
 Dear Teaeher:-My foster mother has scolded me dreadfully. and my heart is broken. When the heart breaks there is no use to live any more, so am going to die. Please, dear teacher, l want to be buried with my doll. She is niy only friend now, and please don't let them take the band ring off my finger. Your heart broken ''Nina.'
 What pity the poor child died and what loss. No one lacking the soul of a poet could put so much pa.hos and so much pathetic beauty in so few words. Gazette.

Failed to Print a Date.

Ills only cam, when It IS dhdA1 1Sui IS that the American failed to print dearly the date on a photographic .acsimile of one of the documents in .Ee case against him, although She American carried the same date in the same document clearly printed in type in the text of the article.
 What a petty quibble for an i'm portant man, or rather what quibble eor a petty man who holds important position.
 Anybody who knows the nigh char acter of the gentlemen who edit the American knows that no matter how much they might despise Mayor Gay nor they would never seek to take an unfair advantage of him.
 Anybody who knows the ability of the gentlemen who edit the American knows that if they had desired to omit he date of any document they would not have been so childish as to print the date conspicuously in the type while they were leaving out of the picture.
 when WdTTGNhS Wd5 ToiOs
 Finally, anybody who can read and think can see clearly that the date in question Is not the important date, anyhow, but that the important date Is the date of January 4. a date fl Mayor Gaynor's administration upon which the payment of Cehalan of S4S, 900 was finally signed and actually authorized.
 The January signature was affixed by the assistant chamberlain in the
 flee of Chamberlain Hyde, Mir. Gay. aor's law partner.
 This latter gentleman, who is popu larly known IS "Gaynor's thick Hyde" IS not only Gaynor's law partner, but the person who figured conspicuously in Gaynor's golf ball decision in favor of race track gambling.
 The two constitute the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of law and politics.
 Mr. Chamberlain Hyde claims that his assistant Chamberlain is an hold over from the last administration But assurediy he is very permanent hold over, for he is still assistant Chamber. lain. although the last administration aas been for months out of office.
 Mir. Hyde May Explain.
 Mr. Hyde might go so far as to ex- plain why this same assistant Cham berIain was not allowed to sign the Cohaan warrant under the last ad. minisration and why he was allowed 10 sign the warrant under the present administration Why do not MT. Gay. nor and His Thick Hyde" discuss the date of January 1, about which there is no question of bad printing; about which there is merely a question of bad administration?
 And the really important thing for Mir. Gaynor, mayor Of New York, guar dian of the peoples property, is to answer clearly and quickly.
 Say your law partner paid the war. rant, if you please, MT Gaynor: say your law partners assistant paid it. if | you please; but at least explain why | a warrant which the former admins tration held up as exorbltant was paid by your administration without ques. i ton and without investigation.
 Answer, Mayor Gaynor as a matter of duty, as matter of decency, and as matter of policy.
