ROSES AND THoRNs.
An Old Eastern Legend and lts Appli-
cation to Human Life.

This world we're living In
Is mighty hard to beat.
You get a thorn with every rose.
But amt the roses sweet?
There Is an eastern legend that when
the benefcent Creator prepared the
earth for man, causing it to bring
forth herbs and trees pleasant to the
eye and good for food, each bearing
Its seed within itself for propagating
its kind, the roses had no thorns and
the lilies. violets and other poisoning
plants were free from thistles, bram-
bles and noxious weeds.
But the sons and daughters Of men
In their greedy eagerness to gather the
flowers, each one selfishly striving to
secure larger share than his fellow,
seemed likely to despoil the earth Of
its beauty and leave not even enough
blossoms to perfect their seed and per-
petuate their species. So the kindly
All Father provided the roses with
thorns for self protection and sent a
host Of defenders of the more tender
blossoms by causing thistles and briers
to spring up around them like wardens
of a castle or the bodyguard OF a
queen. And this is the reason for the
thorns and briers-nature's protection
against human greed.
The legend has a wider application.
The roses typify the pleasures of life
and the thorns it's pains. A life of
oqso and Dloasr1ro woe MT o,Iv ueo
less. but satiating. 1t would democrat
lie him who INDUCED in it, Safety
despoils the rose Of its beauty and the
violet of its fragrance; hence kind ma
ture makes true pleasure the reward
Of v1rtuous effort and Furnishes over
indulgence with penalizing suffering,
to the end that greed may be restrain
ed and self control developed with its
attendant virtues Of temperance, kind
liness, industry and thrift.-John B.
Stoll In South Bend Times.

Power Dam VIII Revolutionize Farm
Life in This Vicinity, Ac-
cordns to Quincy
Story.
TO HAVE USE OF POWER
Can Light Their Homes and Run
Machinery With Electricity.
What One Farmer Pre-
pares to do.

QUINCY, ILL.,, Nov. 1S-The build
ing OF the new power dam at Keokuk
promises to reyolutionize farm life in
this part of the country and it is ex.
|spected that some wonderful changes
in the manner in which the farmers
will live and conduct their farms will
take place in the next few years.
These changes are especially ex.
pected to take place along the line OF
the transmission trunk to be run
from Hamilton along the Illinois side
of the river as far south as East st.
Louis. 1t will give the farmers a
chance to install electricity into their
homes by the use of reducing coils
and to use power in running the ma
chinery on the& farms at compare
lively small cost. So it can be seen
that the farmers will enjoy the privi-
leges of city and many are already
beginning to make preparations for
the changes.
At every turn the farmers have
been cooperating with the power
company and encouraging the pro-
posed transmission line that would
furnish them with an abundance of
electricity Right of way for the
pole line is being freely given by the
county land owners and they are anx-
iously looking forward to that time
when their dwellings may be made
as modern as the city homes. A
couple hundred warranty deeds have
been filed with the recorder which
give the Mississippi River Power
company access to portions of their
farms for the purpose of erecting
poles and cables to carry the power
from the dam.
AS evidence of the farmers inten-
tons to modernize their homes,
Francis Campbell, a farmer living
near Ursa, is having his new dwell
ing wired and electric fixtures in
stalled The house is now nearing
completion and is as modern as the
city homes. Not only has he install
ed wiring for electric lights but he
has equipped his new domicile with
modern heating plant and modern
plumbing throughout
Mr. Campbell is the first Adams
county farmer to prepare for the
electric power that will be afforded
the rural residents but all over the
county farmers are discussing the
proposed pole line and many have
verbally announced their intentions
of wiring their houses and contract
for service as soon as active work
on the pole line is started
