INCENSE.

(Erom the Outlook
Think not that incense smoke has had
its day.
Ny friends. the incense time has but
begun.
Greed upon creed, cult upon cult,
shall bloom.
Shrine after shrine grow gray be-
meath the sun.
And mountain powders in our aged
West
Shall guard the graves of hermits
truth.endowed;
And there the scholar from the Chi
nese hills
Shall do deep honor with his wise
head bowed.
And on our old, old plains some muddy
stream,
Dark as the Ganges. shall, like that
strange tide
Whispering mystery of half the earth.
Gather the praying millions to its
side.
And flow past halls with statues in
white stone
To saints unborn to-day, whose lives
of grace
Shall make one shining, universal
church.
Where all faiths kneel, as brothers,
in one place

DEFENDING THE GUILTY MAN
Frederick A. Browns Story illustrates
the Conditions That Sometimes
Confront the Lawyer.

Frederick A. Brown, we'll known
Chicago lawyer, told the following
story at recent dinner:
Attorneys are frequently asked
how they can defend men whom they
know to be guilty. The reply is that
we seldom If ever know that they are
guilty. once, however, became the
unwilling attorney of man whom
knew to be guilty.
II was in Judge Brentano's court.
waiting for trial to be called. when
negro was brought In, charged with
highway robbery. Judge Brentano,
finding that he had no attorney, d.
rected me. against my protest, to de
fend him.
81 took the colored man aside and
said, Well. are YOU guilty?' and to my
surprise he replied, Well, boss, they
found the pocketbook on me and have
twenty witnesses to prove It. He then
went on to tell me that he had
snatched a woman's pocketbook on

caught him as he was getting over

found that he was indicted under the
habitual criminal act, under which he
could be sent TO the penitentiary for
forty years returned to the court.
room and insisted that Judge Bren'
tano should appoint some other lawyer
which he refused to do. then made
the proposition TO the prosecutor that
II he would waive the habitual crimi-
nal count would have my man plead
guilty and save the cost of trial.
This was agreed to. the darby was
delighted, pleaded guilty, and received
the minimum sentence. After 1t was
all over the darby turned to me and
said, Boss; that was so easy that |
believed II you half tried you would

you and to your father, we express and
extend our heartfelt sympathy, and may
the flowers We sent, in small way be a
token of the sympathy we feel. Second,
that we, realizing in this, as not in other
times, our inability to aid and comfort,
commend you to our God and Father,
who in His Infinite Wisdom sees best
at times to sever strong bonds of earthly
love and to separate for time His child
from others of His children.
Therefore, do we commend thee for
strength and comfort to God and to our
Master, Jesus Christ.
Sincerely,

BRAINS MUST GO
WITH DRY FARMING

The following extract from a private
letter received from Secretary John T.
Burns of the Dry Farming Congress,
contains 80 many and great truths on
so important subject, that We cannot
resist the temptation to give our readers
the benefit of them. Mr.. Burns says:
! am glad you are taking up this Dry
Farming matter seriously and honestly,
and placing it before the people in it's
true light.
If there were more people willing to
admit the truth, that is, that they live
in the dry belt, there would be more
men with good and profitable crops to
their credit at the close of every year
There seems to have been some absurd
feeling on the part of certain elements
tending to discredit Dry Farming Ger
tain immigration interests had rather
discourage Dry Farming than to en-
courage successful crop production in the
very districts in which they claim to be
most interested. 1t has been hard
thing to overcome these prejudices, but
one would naturally think that after a
year such as we have just passed through
more people would be willing to admit
the truth.
There has been entirely too much
carelessness in dealing with the farming
problem in the semi-arid districts, and
somehow, although it is a surprising
fact the farmer seems as loath to do
what is right as is the promoter of the
get-rich-quick land scheme. There is
no question, as you know, of Dry Farm
ing where the proper methods are used,
and the seed is carefully selected. There
are two phases to this matter, however !;
first, the moisture must be gotten into
the soil /; second, it must be kept there
for the crop. Sod crops may be all right
at times and in places, but believe that
the preparation of the soil is most essen
tial, and that preparation cannot be COM
pleted in few weeks.
The Dry Farming Congress is endeav-
oring to reach the bottom in this inves-
tigation and to satisfy itself as to the
future possibilities of each district. But
we have many puzzling things present
ed to us, and not the least of these is the
fact that in districts where scientific men
persistently reiterate that success is i'm
possible, men are making good every
year, and where in other districts there
seems to be every reason for easy sue
cess men are failing. Sometimes think
that there was more in the statement of
one of our speakers at the Third Con-
vention than We are apt to credit. He
summed up the whole Dry Farming sit
uation in one line-"Dry Farming de-
pends on what is under the farmers
hat" In other words am prone to the
belief that no matter what the territory
or the soil or the moisture, provided, of
course, it has enough to be called mois-
ture, the mixture of brains with the soil
will do the work.-Dakota Farmer.

DEAR SIR: Years ago l was some
thing of an active participant in Custer
county's events. Time and tide drifted
me to Utah, but will ever retain deep
interest in my old home and friends.
Enclosed find few lines written in
memory of the late Samuel Maddox,
formerly and for many years, a resident
of Custer county.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF SAMUEL MADDOX.
'Tis but the Spirits casket was laid in
the grave,
The Redeemer he trusted this Spirit
can save.
Though the lips have grown cold, are
silent and breathless,
The Soul is immortal, eternal and
deathless.
May this promise like dew-drops fall on
hearts that weep;
And whisper, it's but form lies in deaths s
deep sleep.
This frail mortal will wear Immortality
there,
And beckon his dear ones up life's
slippery stair.
With friends you have left, fond men,
ory will linger,
And when on our life's dial, time sets
his finger;
When the dark surging waters, we too,
have crossed DER
May we meet you again, on that Beau.
