FINDING THE RICH SELF.
BY Henry F. Cop,

By Henry F. Cope.
Whoever will lose his life for my
sake shall find it.'-Matt. xvi, %.
We all recognize the wickedness of
selfshness in it's grosser aspects, but
do we realize its folly in almost any
of it's forms? Selfishness Is regarded
as a sin: we do not yet regard it as
suicide of our own best, as defeating
it's own purposes, as being, not simply
a violation of some ideal code, but a
foolish robbery and despoiling of our
own selves.
On us all rests the obligation to
bring self to its fullness, to realize our
own powers. enter into our own posi-
bilities. We dare not fall anywhere
in life, nor stop short Of being all
that we might be. In the long judg-
ment of the ages we will find our
places according as we have really
found and fulfilled ourselves.
A real danger of some types of re-
ligious thinking is that they shall
miss self-realization in fleeing from
selfshness. Many would rather shrink
than grow; they seek to prove their
sanctity by the way they shrivel into
their shells. If religion is a process
of denying the beauty and reality of
this life in order to assert the virtues
of a hypocritical existence it can have
no value for us here.
No man is more likely to yield to
the subtle temptation of selfishness
than he who thinks to please his God
by blotting himself out of all real ex-
istence. He is selfshly and falsely
spiritual, seeking escape from life's
real business and burdens, shrinking
from its duties, and really coveting an

HYMNS AND THEIR AUTHORS
WALKING WITH GOD.


1.-THE Rev Washington GLADDEN.. D. d,
(Pittsgrove. Pa, Feb. II, 1880, is the
pastor Of the principal Congregational
church in Columbus, Ohio. and at present
the president of the American Missionary
Associa ton. He was educated at Will
Jams College, graduating in 1859. AS the
editor of the New York Independent and
of the Sunday Afternoon, and as writer
Of religious books he has become well
known, while his campaign against the
acceptance of tainted money" made him
yet more widely known. This hymn ap-
peared in Sunday Afternoon in March,
1879 In view of the time usually neces-
sary for a hymn to come into general
use walking with Coz has attained a
remarka BILE degree of popularity; it I'M
doubtedly belongs already in the ranks
of the standard favorte hynns.l
O Master, let me walk with thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toll, the fret of care.
Help me the slow Of heart to move
By some clear winning word of love;
Teach me the hayward feet to stay
And guide them in the homeward way
Teach me thy patience! still with thee
In closer, dearer company.
In work that keeps faith sweet anG
strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.
In hope that sends shining ray
Far down the futures broadening
way;
In; peace that only thou canst give,
With thee, 0 Master, let me live.

HOW Often to MIX.

Most farmers and dairymen milk
their cows only twice a day, and that
is right Sometimes fresh cowaneeds
to have an excess of milk drawn be-
tween times in order to prevent con-
gestion and fever, but not for long
period. Some cows again have leak
ing teats, which waste the milk if not
relieved three or four times day, but
such COWS are nuisance and should
be disposed Of To milk twice day
is enough as a general rule. To milk
three times day does not seem to
bring more milk, though some people
have thought so and acted on that
supposition.

Swamp Angel, Incident.

struction of the Swamp Angel" at
Morris Island. S. c., and being of an
energetic constitution himself, and not
afraid to enter swamps, his surprise
can be imagined when one Of his lieu
tenants, whom he had ordered to take
twenty men and enter that swamp,
said that "he could not do 1.-THE mud
was so deep"
Colonel Serrel ordered him to try
He did so. and returning with his men
covered with mud, said:
Colonel, the mud is over my mems
heads, I can't do It,"
The colonel insisted that it must be
done and told the lieutenant to make
requisition for anything that was
necessary for the safe passage of the
swamp.
The lieutenant did make his requisi-
ton in writing, and on the spot 1t
read as follows:
Il want twenty men eighteen feet
long, to cross swamp fifteen feet
deep"
The joke was good one. 1t seemed,
however, not to add cubit to the stat
ure Of the lieutenant or his twenty
men, but rather his arrest for disre-

A light battery was quartered at
Point of Rocks, on the Appoma*tox,
in 1862. The fat pigs of the farmers
ran at liberty about the camp, and
orders had been given that they were
not to be disturbed by anyone. One
morning planter rode to the Cap
'tain's tent and complained of the loss
Of one Of his pigs. Captain r., who
was a whOle-souled kind of fellow,
told him that he was very sorry for
it, and further, that his camp should
be searched, and the offender made to
search failed to get any clew to the
pig, or tho men who killed 1t, and
athere the matter dropped. The Cap
tain declared, II he could find out who
killed the pig, or any one who ate any
part Of it, that he should pay for it.
The next day some of the non-com-
missioned officers invited the captain
and his lieutenants to dine with them,
as they had just received several boxes
from their homes. The invitation was
accepted and the next day the feast
was spread in grand style. In seating
the officers at the table, the captain
was given the most prominent seat, be-
fore which had been placed fine cut
of shote. This the officer was asked
to cut. Soon all were seated and
having a good time, when burst Of
merriment told the story Captain r.
had carved the pig as requested, dur
ing which act he had placed piece In
his mouth; this was a part of the
planters lost pig, and so, in accord
ance with his own orders, he had to
paw for it.

HOG SERUM.

A successful demonstration of the
value of the new government serum
for preventing hog cholera has just
been concluded at South Omaha, Neb.,
by the bureau of animal industry of
the United States department of agri-
culture. The efficiency If the serum
has been proved many times in the
past. but in order that its value might
be brought more strikingly before the
people of Nebraska a demonstration
was arranged for at the Union Stock
Yards at South Omaha in cooperation
with the Union Stock Yards company
Of Omaha.
The stock yard company purchased
thirty pigs, weighing from 40 to 60
pounds each, from a farm which had
been free from hog cholera for sever
al years. These pigs were brought to
the stock yards, and on July %, 1910,
four of them were injected with blood
from hogs sick of hog cholera. These
inoculated pigs were placed in a pen
by themselves, and with five days they
had become sick, at which time eigh-
teen of the remaining We're each CIV
en- one dose Of the serum, while the
other eight pigs We're not treated in
any way. The eighteen serum-treated
pigs and the eight untreated pigs were
then placed in the same pen with the
four pigs which had been made sick
by incubation.
The four pigs which had been CIV
en- hog cholera all died, and the eight
untreated pigs all contracted the dis
ease from them. The eighteen pigs
which We're given serum, and which
We're confined in the same pen with
the four original sick pigs and with
the sick untreated pigs, remained per-
fectly well, and were finally turned

company upon the completion of the

The experiment was witnessed by
representatives, of the Nebraska Agri-
cultural Experiment station and Of the
Nebraska Swine Breeders association,
as well as by representatives Of agri-
cultural papers published in Nebras-
ka.
The department Of agriculture does
not distribute this serum to farmers,
but is en~deavoring to bring the value
of this method to the attention of the
stock-raising interests in order that
they may arrang to secure state
funds for the manufacture and distri-

authorities consider that this new SER

will result in the saving of millions

MARVIN HUGHITT RESIGNS,

A Chicago dispatch says that Mar
vim Hughitt, who has been president
of the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
way company for nearly tw~enty-four
years, has given up that position to
accept the craftsmanship of the board
of directors.
At the annual meeting the board
reluctantly ACCUSED in Mr.. Hughitt's
refusal to remain longer in the presi-
dency and elected William A. Gard
ner, formerly vice-president in charge
of the operation of the road and also
president OF the Chicago, Minneapolis
and Omaha, to succeed him.
MI. Hughitt, who is in his seventy
third year, Is In many ways one of
the most remarkable men in the rail-
way service. With the almost sole
exception Of e. P. Ripley, president of
the Santa Fee, he is the last OF the
"old guard" of famous railroad presi-
dents who made railway history from
the time they attained their first i'm.
portant positions. There probably is
no man in the railroad world TODAY
who is more widely known and vet
about whom so little is known in de.
tail as Mr.. Hughitt. This Is the re.
suit of a lifelong policy Of doing things
rather than of talking, and it has been
by his achievements in the railroad
world that his reputation of being one
Of the foremost point OF ability IN
the entire railway world has been
gained.

When at the end of two years a
play can show a clean profit OF two

is the proud achievement OF Paid in

which wound up the plays second

producers, a round quarter of a mil
lion. In addition it has put a COM
Portable fortune into the pocket of its
author, Eugene Walter, to be trans
ferred in part to automobiles and a
country estate and other things that
brighten the life of a successful dram
atist, but that is another matter. To
have enriched author and producers
to this extent Paid in Full' must
have drawn cash 10 the theatre box
office from hosts of persons. To be
exact, two million five hundred thou
sand of the big public in all parts of
the United States and Canada stepped
up and put down money to g this
play. They did it for two years
straight away il New York while
paid in Full ran there, for six
months in Chicago. and throughout
the length and breadth Of the contin-
ent last season when, for the first
time in history, five companies We're

that Paid in Full" is the biggest hit
