WONDER FODDER PLANT.-M.


Longacre of 1543 West Madison street
yesterday brought to the board of
trade room a fine specimen sheaf of
the wonder Fodder Plant" This is
a plant with which the agriculturists
may be familiar. but for the town
readers who know no more about
farming than a newspaper reporter
the information is given that it looks
very like stalk of corn with a cat
tall on the end of it, instead of a
tassel the tail being covered with a
seed similar 20 but coarser than mill
let The foliage is luxuriant and the
stalks slender, making it true ex-
emplar of its name, a wonder fodder
plant. If it grows everywhere as well
as it does at 1543 West Madison street,
it should attract the attention of the
farmers generally.

he has to take IN hand a great many
different things that belong to him
and insist on being with him all the
time. He has to take charge of his
imagination, and th-t is no easy task.
Now boy naturally prefers to con-
troll others rather than himself. Think
ing he Is right. he is not apt TO single
himself out for special disciplinary
treatment. and he usually regards en-
forced obedience to those who insist
on being over him as all the discip-
line he needs. which means that the
task OF acquiring self control must be
set by another. Boys will form laws
and bylaws for their clubs. but they
do not aim al discipline In the interest
of self control.
And he has another drawback lie
is in a state of unstable equilibrium
and he must learn himself. as new
traits come out Then he seems to
drop everything else 10 get acquainted
with the latest conner among his at
tributes; while he is doing that, some
thing unexpected is likely TO take
place. Ht ItEull 10 lul anu
seeming defeat But he mounts again
and is in the saddle. Thus he learns.
A good test OF self control is ability
to fix and hold ones attention TO a
given matter as long as he wishes.
The old story is In point. on the re-
verse side. about the man who grew
rich by telling how to turn eggs into
gold. His formula was simple. The
money was collected in advance and
would be refunded IL the formula
was faithfully tried without the prom
Used results. Take the yolks of q
dozen eggs. hold them over the fire

II a boy cannot be his own man
without having control of himself
then he must be master of his body.
That means to conserve his strength
and prevent all spoliation OF It. He
must be able to handle that body as
the driver his horse. Ii means that
he keeps his powers at the highest de-
gree OF efficiency. He is not his own
master If he does not keep a clean
body. He will know how to relax and
rest. He must know himself and be
on the alert when those curious and
rapid chemical changes take place In
the body and require instant rcadjust-
ment He must control his muscles.
He must keep his imagination clean.
! He must hx his eyes on the truest
goal.
He must acquire this through imlta-
ton OF an attractive example and we
all know where he ought to find that
example. Others must have thought
IL out for him and led him into bis
kingship over himself.

II ownership OF something is es-
well. II is necessary in a man be
cause God has put him in the midst of
things that are TO be owned. has given
him a desire for possession and has
distinctly told him TO subdue and use
them.
So a boy must begin to have things
of his own, for he needs training
IN that. as well as in his memory or
reasoning or power OF speech. Through
his memory, he owns much; through
laying up something. he is providing
for the future and increasing his pres
ent enjoyments and opportunities.
One can own only what he can
know and use. The vagrant has moth
ing TO enjoy; the very rich own very
little OF what they have because they
cannot enter into 1t. just as a man
can have great supplies of food. but
only assimilate one meal at time.
But some men are like an arrow-go
through life and accumulate nothing.
A boy must crafty that desire. Sc
cure that discipline and feel that re-
sponsibility. by owning and caring
for and managing something. He must
have his own comb and brush. toys,
books. clothes and articles of useful
ness. His pockets show his passion
for possession. blind desire, work
ing without the power of selection.

things entirely useless. except to a
boy-knife. tops, marbles. bean
shooters, beeswax, bullets. buckles.
lead. scrap iron. slings, strings. fish
ing hooks. fishing lines. fishing worms.
chewing gum. licorice, candy. pills.
There is an age when he is more
active in such enterprises. but be is
doing the same thing he does when
he amasses wealth. He has a trading
age, from about eleven TO fifteen.
when he will trade any thing he has
for any thing any other boy has-cats
and dogs and pigeons and toys and
any Of the things he carries in his
pockets.
He must not only possess things,
but take care of them as well. The
penalty for not having what he can
call his own is that he never has
anything TO give to others. is thrift.
less, selfish. begging, borrowing and
tempted to steal what he would like
TO have. Possessions mean power
and thrift is preparation for peace
4 He cannot take care of his own
\ things unless he has a place for then
which is his own. That Is one OF the
reasons why a boy should have &
room. and trunk. and the equipment
with which he can take care of his
things. That is not the only reason

Every boy looks forward. with spe-
cial delight, 10 the time when he will
be his own man. as he likes TO phrase
IL, at least, as we boys used TO express
IT, BY that, be means the time when
he can do as be wishes, as the grown
folks do. and not be responsible to
anyone but himself; when he can
quit going TO school and running on
errands. II he wishes.
If he does not know II at first. he
has TO learn that be does not become
his own man by simply passing out
from under the control of his parents.
but by coming under the control OF
his own higher nature-his judgment
and will and conscience. When he
reaches the age for taking himself out
OF the hands of his parents. just as
they once reached a similar age, he
must have been so trained In the
mastery of himself that he is ready
for the new responsibility. And. I'M
less he has been given little tasks in
self direction all along. and more and
more, as he got used TO It, he will
have too big a job on his hands all at
once. The best thing his father and
mother ever do for him is to teach
him TO get along without them. while
they take their place beside him as
companions and friends
Many a boy is. in fact. wiser than
his parents and is so recognized be
fore be Is old enough to be free from
the law OF obedience. but II is not a
good thing to let him know that they
think him wiser. Before he is really
his own man two things are neces-
sary. He must reject any other mas
ter and must secure pos~ive and per
sonal control over every power OF his
body and mind. Three rivals will dis
pute his right
One rival Is some strong personality
in the form OF boy who appeals TO
h.s weakness or even his good traits.
II that toy controls him. he Is not his
own man. Another rival Is public sen
tment. in the FORM OF the bunch or
gang with which he goes. A boy will
help make laws for the crowd without
feeling the need OF any discipline for
himaelf. and yet he is not his own man
as long as allows them to dominate
his private life.
Elq other rival is found on the In
side, among the passions and i'm
pulses and fancies which are likely TO
take the reins OF government in nand
any minute. A hot temper is one Of
those rivals. When he is controlled
by temper or jealousy or envy. when
he let's any vulgar passion run away
with him, that becomes his master
Tho effect of this Is TO weaken his
will. confuse his judgment and dull

IS A FAMOUS JUR|ST
Personal Characteristics Of John

brought this veteran jurist prominent
ly before the public. The justice was
rs years old the other day and is still
strong and rugged, with every mental
faculty unimpaired. He has been on
the Supreme court more than third
OF a century. During SO years and Q
months he has absented himself from
the bench less than 20 days. He was
born in Boyle county. Kentucky, June
/. 1898 President Hayes appointed
him November %, 1877.
Twenty years ago Justice Harlan
purchased a half Of n city block on a
hill overlooking Washington, and
there built a fine, old-fashioned, ram
bling home OF brick, with wide
porches. When he took possession an
unobstructed view OF the city below
and the absence Of noise and the com.
motion OF city life made the spot IDEAL
for the home OF justice.
Although he is in the midst of the
city today. he manages to keep about
the house the atmosphere of the coun'
try. The trees which he planted in
the side. front and rear yards have
grown TO maturity A great hedge
