So Scholastique invented stories that
she told to everybody.
The able let her say what she liked
but he became more unhappy every
day Besides his own lies, he felt ne
was responsible for those Of his ser
want All this, with the torturing
thought of the money he had appro-
priated. formed an enormous weight
of sin He began to sink under its
burden. Little by little. a deathly pal
lor replaced, on his following cheeks,
the pink freshness of a robust and
innocent old age.
The day fixed for the golden we'd
ding" of the able and the village
church had long since passed. and the
new bell had not yet come. the gooo
people of Lande Fleurie began to Won
der. Then one began to hear rumors;
discreditable things were said about
the good old man Soon some of the
VILLAGERS became openly hostile
When he walked thorugh the streets
a number of hats were not raised, and
he heard angry murmurs behind his
back.
The poor man was overwhelmed with
sorrow. He perceived the enormity OF
his sin. and it caused him great pain
and grief, but, in spite of his prayers,
he could not bring himself into a state
Of perfect repentance.
One morning, after having prayed
for a long time he resolved to free
himself from his burden by making
public confession.
On the following Sunday. after the
second lesson had been read, he as
cended the three steps leading up to
the pulpit. His face was deathly pale,
guish that might. perhaps, have been
seen on the faces of ancient martyrs.
My dear brethren my dear friends,
my dear children" he stammered, Il
have a confession to make"
He was interrupted by sound, clear,
limpid and >silvery, which reverberated
IL the bell tower and. filled the old
church Everybody looked up in sur
prise, and an astonished whisper flut-
tered over the benches:
THE new bell. The new bell"
Was it a miracle? Had the holy
angels brought the new bell TO save
the honor of the old priest2 Or had
Scholastique told her masters trouble
to the two rich English women who
had made their home in the fine old
castle which is only few miles from
Lande-Floufie?
In any case. whether it were a
miracle, or a joyous surprise offered
to the able by these two excellent wo-
men, there is one thing that is certain,
the inhabitants of Lande- Fleurie new
er knew what the Able Corentin had
to confess.

4 COUNCIL meeting of the Ma
~ tional Grange will be held in
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, today in con-
nection with the convention of the
Ohio State Grange. The matters I'M
der consideration are strengthening
the interests Of the farmer towards
reciprocity. securing a better circuIat-
ed system of crop reporting and the
establishment Of a national syndication
of agricultural resources. This last
measure provides that agricultural re-
sources may be available at any time
as assets to secure needed capital up
on cash basis In several of the
states the grange is now successfully
operating a fruit and produce associa-
ton upon the syndicatiOn basis, and
its work could be greatly charged if
the circuit were increased.
The National Grange is the agricul-
tural trade union of America. 1t oper-
ates so quietly and unobtrusively that
it is seldom heard of outside of farm
ing circles. Yet its influence is far
reaching and potent. It's existence of
less than half a century has been ben
eficial, not only to the farmer. but
70 the general public. In 1878 o. H
Kelly, a clerk in the agricultural de-
partment, established the first perma-
nent grange organization at George
town, D. c. Afterwards he gave him
self up to extending the organization,
travelling from state TO state and or
ganizing branches everywhere.
Women Are Members.
The original society provided for
seven progressive degrees, although
the offices were filled chiefly by cleo
ton. Women have had equal part with
men in grange movement from the be-
ginning, and have been quite as useful
in promoting its growth. There have
been number Of changes in detail
in the organization since its inception.
but the objects and principles have
never wavered. The grange is the
only national farmers organization in
existence and its objects are the educa-
ton, development and advancement Of
the rural population.
Acting upon its motto, IN essen
tials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty;
in all things charity" the policy of
the grange is to be absolutely nom
partisan in politics. It's members are
urged, however, to be active in the
support Of the political parties with
which they are affiliated. The loyalty

I'VE all know it was contended

When once sport of kings was out

and other states FL Paso thought it
would be a killing stroke to have the
races take place at Juarez. Mexico has
stringent laws against gambling ex-
cept once a year during the fiestaS, so
a 20 year concession was secured and
the Terrazas Park course was thrown
open with a 100 day winter meet each
year.

draw thousands of tourists and money
would flow freely. The reverse has
proved to be the case and Ell PasO
business men realize the mistake they
made
Wage earners and others play their
money on the races and lose They
never win, so all FL Paso's payrolls are
spent IN Mexico. The bOOkmakers who
win this money deposit it in one or
two FL Paso banks with view OF win

Recently the business men got to-
gether quietly and along with certain
banks employed detectives TO report all
persons who made a habit OF playing
the races These pony players cannot
get credit at the stores nor can they
borrow money at the banks. One man
when told he must settle an account
or stop betting on the races became
very indignant and settled up. He ap-
piled for credit elsewhere. but was
turned down cold, being informed that
no man who gambled would be given
any credit. Besides this some institu-

found guilty Of gambling

The grange aims to benefit the farm

lowest possible prices and furnishes
him with the best facilities for mar

communication with places Of direct
demand. thus doing away with clear

catalOgs containing lists of wholesale
dealers in all the principal cities, who
have been thoroughly investigated by
the grange Their commercial ratings
are furnished so that the farmer
knowing their financial responsibility
may sell his own goods to advantage
The grange controls some OF the
largest stores in the world and through
them the farmer is able TO secure ma
chinery and supplies at the lowest
rates For general supplies there are
local grange stores all over the coun-
try conducted on profit-sharing basis.

good training. Young people who

business and to attend to lessons

how to Judge. reason and decide. and
they are given the most useful infor-

You can see at once how much
more such a school can do for its

dent body grow in the last few years
from three hundred year to four
teen hundred; and its buildings in
crease from four or five so that we
now have more than twenty; and its
group of teachers mount from a doz-
en- up to nearly a hundred. Many Of
you have seen some of the young
people who have been at Berea and
you know whether they have been
improved or not. We have partly
failed with some of our students but
we believe that nearly all of them
have learned things at Berea which
are priceless In value and that they
will always look back to that place
as a second home.
Now let me tell you some of the
things we try to do for the young
people who come to us for a few
months or a few years.
The citizen., 1911-09-07

speak about one other institution
which helps boys become men-the
school away frome home-an institu-
tion like Berea College, where young
people go and live for few months
or years, giving their main time and
thought and strength to study and
self-improvement. II boys and girls
are ever to be men and women they
must leave the old home and go out
into the world. And the best way
to get them finally ready for this
great change Is to have them spend
some time in a good school like Be-
rea. Let them have a few months
or years where they shall live In
what might be called a school family,
where they shall get acquainted with
the best boys and girls from other
communities and from other parts Of
the country. where they shall have
teachers who have been specially
trained and skilled in the most i'm
portant branches OF study. In such
a school young people learn the
quickest how to manage themselves,
how to find out the things they need
to know, how to have good thinking
power. good judgment, good princi-
pies, how TO become useful, honor
able, happy men and women. Before
you start to work II pays to grind
yeur az.
| do not speak about Berea alone.
There are other schools and nearly
all of them are exceedingly good.
But | shall tell you about Berea be-
cause / know 1t best, because 1t is
one of the largest schools Of its kind
and because IL has been very specially
adapted to the needs of the country
boys and girls. l, and good people be-
fcre me, worked night and day more
than fifty years to build up this school
When | began l did not know OF a
single school that was devoting itself
especially to the boys and girls Of
the country and to the training Of
boys and girls for country life. All
the other schools l knew OF were
adapted especially to boys and girls
born in the cities and villages, and
IL they did receive some boys and
girls from the country they only
trained them for a town or city life.

in music and drawing. and they have
one lesson in agriculture every week,
and the boys are taught something
of the use of tools and the girls some
thing of the use of the needle and
the cook stove.
Now all these helps to parents and
aspiring young people Berea College
offers at rates which make II OPEN
TO EVERYBODY WHO HAS THE
DESIRE. Good people have given
us the money to build our buildings
and the money to pay our teachers.
The school is open to all who will
just come and pay small fee and
help themselves to the privileges OF
Berea. 1t is within your reach. Re-
member every scholar has chance

expenses for the fall term Of four

for an Academy or Normal student,
$32 90; and for student in the Nor
NAL, Vocational OF Foundation school
only 5000. You pay a penny and
you get fortune!
One word more. Why come in the
fall term?
Because you can come now, and
something may turn up to stop you
later on.
Because the board and other ex-
penses are cheaper in the fall than
later In the year.
Because the fall is the best time
to study.
Because IL you start in the fall you
have a chance Of having o full year

temptations of boys, the ruin Of boys,
the things that happen to the boys

track. We out-flank all these enemies
