Masters Cultivated Their Style

I-cultivation. arduous study, or wheth-
er 1t is a natural gift"
you know" began the senator,
that my native place was the little
town of Washington. in Litchfield coun-
ty, Connecticut. l had only common
school education; l had no time as
lad to study English style, Later, when
/ read law, | was too much occupied
with the problem of getting ready to
earn my living to give any thought to
securing an English style. But all
the while, | recognize clearly now,
had an unconscious teacher in English
style
"As child was a great reader OF
the Bible. The familiar Bible stories
attracted me greatly and ! pored over
them again and again. When | be-
came a young man l was greatly i'm
pressed by the majesty of the Book
of Job. l read and re-read 1t. Unsus-
pected by me, l know now, was
taught by the Bible what l know OF
the English language, for | read 1t
constantly and systematically during
my most impressionable years-a hab-
it that / have never broken entirely.
for even in my buster days l read at
least chapter of the Bible day, and
that chapter, nearly always, is one
from the Book of Job.
MY experience was partially that of
Senator Hoar,' continued Mr.. Platt
You must observe that he is mas
ter of English style, especially of mar
rative style. l once asked him how
he came by this.
From two or three sources was
his reply I am a reader of the Bible.
| also read DeQuincey. whose style is
rich, and | constantly read that old
English divine, Hooker. | have abb
sorbed his style. 1t has a majesty,
swing, unrivaled by any prose writer
since Milton.
Then Senator Hoar asked me If l
had ever noticed the limpid purity of
Senator Morgan's style. I have some
times listened intently to one of his
speeches., said Mr. Hoar, in the hope
of catching him in some grammatical
slip or some clumsy use of English,
but have never been able to discover
fault in his style
And Senator Hoar is right-Senator
Morgan never makes a mistake in Eng
lsh in his speeches. He is never call
ed upon to correct in the record a sim
gle word unless there is error on the
stenograpEer's part. Yet he never pre-
pares his addresses; he speaks extern
poraneously for hours at time, with
out even hesitating for word. His
is a truly wonderful style, yet he has
assured me he never cultivated it. I
talk as think he said, and | never
speak unless | have a clear idea of
what l am going to say
Il have heard much advice given
about the cultivation of an English
STYLE" concluded Senator Plat, but
as for myself, my experience in the
senate has taught me that any man
who attempts to cultivate an English
style spoils his own natural style, and
impairs his originality, and becomes
mere mimic. Whatever cultivation
there is should be unconscious, like
that which | received when in my
youth l constantly read the Bible"

Bluebeard explained the mystery.
1T was the kitchen, and the cook
killed all my previous wives when
they entered it
Thus we see how Bluebeard was
slandered.

Abundant oocunation.

The old custom of choosing a
queen of the May has gone entirely
out of vogue
Yes" replied Mr.. Votewell. There
are too many other officers to be
elected to permit us TO bother with a
little position like that"

Meant TO Be Real Bad.

Two little girls residing in East
Eighty-sixth street, Virginia Clough
and Claire Feldman, who had long
envied their boy playmates for their
ability to enjoy such badness as in in
herent in boys, resolved to be bad
themselves. To this end they shut
themselves up in Virginia's room and
proceeded to be naughty. In fact,
they practiced swearing-just to see
what would happen.
When they were quite sure that
none would overhear them each pro-
duced slip of paper containing the
swear word and fired away.
Bulldog" said Virginia
"Cigars!" was Claires reply.
But the ceiling didn't drop, and
there was no earthquake to swallow
them up, and the two resumed their
play, a trifle disappointed at the tame
termination of their badness.-Cleve-
land Leader.

COSTS LESS THAN So
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year of 1911 than did almost any
other portion OF the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops of all kinds showed Won
derful growth at that time and were
the usually excellent Iipening weather
in August and the effects of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and SO bushels yield OF
wheat we're reduced to 25 and 80 bush
els, while some of course gave tie
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face of these conditions, it is found
that during the months of September
and October, the total amount of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized total of 1914 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97$4 cents; that below contract
for the two months was a little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price of S91a cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
Of 35 million bushels, which realized
a total of little over thirty one mil
lion dollars.
On the first of November, there
was in the hands Of the farmers Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about $50 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had of the value
of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of a number
of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than SO cts. bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 10
cts. per bushel 1jais would make the
cost of production and freight 68 cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat Of
1711a cts. ard for his high-grade wheat
of 1919 cts; and though this is not
as large profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

ECZEMA DIsFIGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
We consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, We
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
childs face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Guticura
Remedies was surprised. He has
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura RENE
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb.,
Oct rs, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed
free on application to "Cuticura,"
