And some day, he hopes, men will be-
come wise enough to hesitate no long
or to shorten misfortune. BY which,
1t is inferred, he means that a kindly
hand will draw the curtain at the APP
propriate moment.
We arc indebted to Maeterlinck. as
to a host of others who have ponder
ed the enigma of existence. not SO
much for their conclusions, as for the
illuminativc value of their views. In
this superlative proposition OF the
ending of a tangible phase Of ron
scious activity-which may be the
only phase, OF. on the other hand,
merely a passing of our limitations
what any one or all Of them have
to say is a welcome addition to tho
fugitive or ultimate thought. Doubt
less they have done their best to all
~levtate, or ameliorate, " solve the
problem. II their premises are cor
rect. their conclusions are final. II
1t be simply a question of suffering
on the part of the doomed. and or
horror on the part of the witnesses.
who shall say that the verdict OF our
mystic is not unanswerahle, and that
the anodyne Of the lethal chamber is
the hest way out?
But there is a whole series Of testi-
mony to the contrary. The primeval
curse was that man should earn his
bread in the sweat Of his face. and
that the sorrow of woman should b.
multiplied in maternity. These are
words Of serious import. Beyond
them lay the pronouncement of a ces-
sation of existence. in so far as that
had reference to the tangible order
of things here below.
Is there no affirmative promise to
offset this otherwise final Judgment:
Is there 10 balm in Gileadc Whether
Maeterlinck knows Of it or not, there
is. 1t finds its place iu thai which
accompanied the imposition Of the
penalty of death. in that the serpent
not only hruise the heel Of the
seed of the woman, but that the seed
of the woman should bruise the head
"f the serpent. The waters of death
arc fearful ii the extreme. but when
the ark of the covenant entered into
stream, the waves rolled
back. Thus even did Walter rater,
Maeterlinck's brother spirit. see il.
and left the story. not his. but of the
church, where Felicitas and
Perpetua gazed with calm. seeing
eyes upon death in its most fearful
and saw neither shadow nor
unconquerable anguish.

STATES PEANUT CROP
THIS YEAR ss,375,ooO
10000 ACRES Arc PLANTED
wtBH or RAILROAD COM.
MISSION FIGURING WITH OIlMIlls
USING PEANUTS FOR OIL.

Jackson. Miss, Jan. 27. Pres.
ident John A. Webb of the rail.
road commission has been doing
some figuring on the peanut cror
in Mississippi for this year, and
has made it very Attractive to the
farmers as well as the railroads.
During the discussion of the
peanut proposition and the de-
mand of the growers and the oil
mills for a cheap freight rate on
peanuts several days ago, it was
stated by the manager of the
Gloster Oil Mill that about 150,-
600 acres of peanuts would be
planted in Mississippi this year,
and those figures Captain Webb
uses as the basis of his calcula-
tons.
The l50, 900 acres would aver
age 30 bushels per acre. and that
would mean 4,5O0,000 of the
fruit, or a, 500 carloads.
These 4,500,0 900 bushels would
sell at at least rs cents per BUSH
ell, according to the Gloster au-
thority, or SO, ,375,0 900 cash for
the trainers of the state.
The railroads would get S24 a
car for hauling a distance of so
miles or more-at the rate on
cotton seed, and which is the
rate asked by the oil mill men
and the farmers-and that means
more than $1OO,O 600 for the rail-
roads.
In view of the fact that the
railroads are not hauling any cot
ton seed or cotton in the boil
weevil district along the Yazou
and Mississippi valley. in the
southwestern portion of the state,
the coming of the peanut busi-
ness would be a godsend to them.
and the commission does not
seem to doubt that the growers
will be given the rate they de-
mand.
