from Southampton, England, aboard

wonderful and spectacular journey,
which will end when the ship docks in

Since he emerged from the African
jungle the latter part of March he
has been the guest of nearly every
European ruler, and honors have been
conferred on him which were never
before accorded a private American
citizen. AS a fitting climax to his

has been planned by representative
citizens Of the nation, and when the
colonel arrives on June Is he will
be welcomed by thousands of his
countrymen from every section of the
United States, representing all classes
Plans have been made on a most
elaborate scale, and the reception
promises to be the most brilliant his

take account of the individual and,
what means more, that the individual
must take account of himself. The
only basis for a self-respect which
cannot be lost is a definite, implicit
recognition of the right Of a mans
conscience in his life.
Men who are entering citizenship
to-day can take part in movements to
answer questions like these: Can a
new racial type be formed by sudden
blending in large proportions of the
people Of all the earth? Will democ-
racy work in a large way? Can the
nation herd together until the blend
ing take place? What is the limit of
safety in individual wealth in a
democracy? How shall a nation be
saved from imperialism in its period
of acquiring wealth? No nation has
yet been so saved. What can we
make peculiar in u own nation to
save it? The answers to these ques-
lions lie in the assertion in individual
life, and so in public life of the old
fashioned and imperious claims Of
conscience.
And 1t is a nopeful place IN which
to work. There is in this country a
hereditary strain of moral serious
ness. The biggest thing about the
American people is not pocket nor
head, but conscience, and any man
who has q clear cut moral appeal will
command a hearing and a following.
That is our safeguard. That insures
the continuance of our national ideal

Country Newspaper Best.

"I believe one of the greatest fac
tors in the improvement of country
life will be the country newspapers"
said Clarence Fl. Poe, editor bf the
Progressive Farmer Of Raleigh, N. c.,
in a recent address before the Hoard
Press club of the College of Agricul-
ture of Wisconsin. In discussing the
influence which the graduate Of an
agricultural college can exert in his
community and in outlining the field
of agricultural journalism Mr.. Poe
pointed out the great need for farmers
in the various counties who would
write regularly for their local papers
or perhaps become editors of lacal
papers interested in rural improve
ment.
"There is no method of reaching
the. farmer that is quite so effective
as through his local newspaper" said
Mr. Poe. "Many of these have not
vet been awakened to the possibilities
of live agricultural columns" he
believes that the successful farmer Of
the future will be the leader in bly,
community affairs and must aid his
fellow farmers by writing. While thf
general agricultural paper has a plae
and a mission, the local newspaper hf
a great advantage due to its str9
hold upon the frmers interest. Nv

and this enormous capital is non-pro-

nothing to the wealth of the people,
but, on the contrary, absorbs it. 1t

money and wased time. A certain

Miranda Meeks, died suddenly fol-
lowing a quarrel with her husband.
An autopsy was held and it was dis
cvoered that a needle had pierced the
woman's heart. A close examination
failed to reveal anything indicating
that the needle had gone through her
body. Her husband was arrested aud
held, but later released.
Physicians gave it as their opinion
that the woman had swallowed tie
needle, perhaps when a child. and
that it finally worked its way to tie
heart, which, together with the excite
