Horticultural Terminolofy in Resolutions.

Students of the LewistO Charleston
School Of Horticulture passed COM
plimentary resolutions on the con-
clusions OF the initial term of this
unique school. The concluding para
graph is gem of horticultural ter
minclogy and is as follows:
Resolved, That such educational
work, if continued, is calculated to
cause the scales of ignorance to drop
from the eyes of fruit growers; to re-
move the blight of indifference from
the work of the orchardist; to Danish
the codling moth of inef1iciency in
fruit culture; to exterminate the
aphis of superstition that yet clings
to some of the branches of the tree
of horticultural knowledge; to re-
move all traces of the crown-gall,
gumOsis, twigblight, rust, red spider
canker, rot scab and mildew of defec-
tive horticultural practices, to cut out
the dead and diseased limbs from the
body OF horticultural education; to
spray the trees of modern horticul-
ture with the disinfectants of wisdom
the fungicide of common sense and
the insecticide of scientific methods;
and, ultimately. to make the Lewis
ton-Clarkston Valley the center of
8 movement that will restore horti-
culture to the place that it is said to
have originally occupied before the
first apple tree became infected.

HOW MEN ARE BORN.

A great many kind of men are born
into this world. Some are born in
happy homes where their coming is
welcomed. They always make good
lnen.
Some are born hypocrites. That
happens when one or both parents
have been playing a part all their
lives and have never been what they
seemed to be.
Some are born rogues and dissem-
blers. They are people whose births
were accidents.
Some are born natural sneaks and
liars. They cannot help it, either
the father or mother, or both of them,
all through life poses as something
while all the time knowing it was
lie.
Some are born natural scrubs.
These generally take after both par
ents. Some are born with hate
for all the world, and desire to get
even for some unexplained wrong.
They are but the product of pre-
natal hates, their coming was un-
welcome; their hands have been
against the world from the begin
ming.
Some are born high and true be-
cause they were prayed for, and the
prayer was that they would be high
and true and noble from before the
the germs of their lives had any life.
Some are born in rebellion against
God and the world and their thoughts
from the first have been dark
thoughts. They come by them nat
urally. Their mothers before they
we're born knew that their fathers
were not fit to even be fathers. God
pity them!
Some are born to be self-forgetful
and patient nnder worry, and their
whole lives are lives of self-abnega-
ton. These ere children of mothers
who repressed their real nature and
gave up their lives, without bitter
ness for what they held to be duty.
There is nothing that n nersOn
should be SO careful about as how he
is to be born.

He Found Him.

Allen Thurman Of Columbus. O., and
John J. Lentz. the former representa-
tive, went to a village about ten miles
from Columbus one night to address a
Democratic meeting. They drove over
together in buggy.
Lentz was to talk first. The agree
ment was that each was to make a
thirty minute speech and then they
would come back to town together.
Lentz is a long distance orator. He
forgot about the thirty-minute agree
ment and talked for an hour without
signs Of stopping. Thurman got sorer
and sorer as Lentz went along, and at
the end of an hour and fifteen minutes
he got up, left the hall. took the buggy
and drove back to Columbus.
In Columbus, ten miles away, he re-
pented q little. thought he had been
hasty and drove back to the village.
As he stopped in front Of the hall he
asked n man:
Have you seen anything OF John
Lentz? I want to get him and drive
him back to Columbus with me-"
"Well," said the man. III you 60 up
in the hall you'll find him. He's talk
ing yet."-Saturday Evening Post.

Nat Goodwin was at the club with
an English friend and became the CEN

the promoter said. II will give a cou-
pom. and when you have smoked 5000
Of them you may bring the coupons to
me and exchange them for a grand
piano." Nat sniffed the cigar. pinched
1t gently and then replied, III I
smoked 5000 Of these cigars I think
would need a harp instead Of q
grand piano."
There was a burst Of laughter, in
which the Englishman did not join, but
presently he exploded with merri-
ment. Il see the point" he exclaim-
ed. "Being an actor. you have to
travel around the country a great deal,
and a harp would be so much more
convenient to carry"

Human beings have been bounded
to death by fear of a hell where none
might atone for an evil deed. Those
whose destiny permitted them to
avoid evil courses in any one life
have been corrupted, in my opinion,
and encouraged to fall into the
heresy of separateness, by being
promised heaven from viii ch some
were excluded forever. OF course
we all know that there are persons
whose enjoyment of any pleasure is
enhar ced by the knowledge that
others are excluded from the enjoy
ment of it. This, when we were
children, puzzled some of us, who
were brought up in the orthodox
beliefs, but now, many of us have
learned that compassion had no home
in the hearts of those persons. Rath-
er than dream Of any heaven where
humanity may escape these condi-
tions, it is my opinion the human
race must find within their own
hearts the power of love and COM
passion.

Her Credit Was Grained.

A young country merchant who had
something of a reputation for close
fgr ing was especially attentive to
the village schoolma'am. The young
woman had a sweet tooth and was not
at all retiring about making the fact
known. Accordingly. she limited to her
admirer that a box Of chocolates
would be greatly appreciated on the
occasion Of his next visit. Later the
suggestion was repeated and again
duly needed. The third time the sub
ject was broached, however. the dis
penser Of sweets turned a deaf ear to
the entreaty.

y Hung in the choicest corners.
~ In the glow OF crimson light.
The tiny scarlet stockings.
With hole in the heel and toe
Worn by wonderful journeys
The darlings had to go.
And heaven pity the children.
Wherever their homes may be.
Who wake with the first gray dawning
An empty stocking to see.
Left in the faith Of childhood
Hanging against the wall
Just where the dazzling glory
OF Santas light will fall!
Alas for the lonely mother
Whose home Is empty and still.
Who has no scarlet stockings
With childish toys to fill.
Who sits in the swarthy twilight
With face against the pane
And grieves for the little baby
Whose grave IL out in the rain:
Oh. empty shoes and stockings
Forever laid aside!
Oh. the tangled, broken shoestring
That will nevermore be tied!
Oh. the little graves at the mercy
OF the cold December rain!
Oh. the feet in the snow white sandals
That never can trip again!
But happier they who slumher
With marble at foot and head
Than the child who has no shelter.
No raiment nor food nor bed.
Oh, let US help the living
Children OF want and pain.
Knowing no food nor pasture.
Out tonight in the rain!

Health on the Canal Zone.

Sir Frederick Treves, one of the
most distinguished surgeons of Eng
land, was in New York the other
day on his way back to London from
the Panama canal. He was enthusi-
astic about the sanitary condition of
the Canal Zone and said, among
other things:
l think that Colonel Gorgas'
work may be accepted as stand
ard of what preventive medicine
should be in the tropics. The Amer
ican Army doctors have done SER
vice to the whole world by what they
have demonstrated at Panama in
making that a livable country for
a man from another climate. |
would 60 so far as to say that the
sanitary work done under the
American Army doctors on the
isthmus is the one thing that has
made the digging Of the Panama
canal possible.
Every visitor to the Panama canal
feels that the sanitary work is justly
to be considered one of the marvels
of the undertaking.

THE FROST.
TROM northern plains We hear her
l. coming feet:
In every sudden breeze her tones
L We hear.
And through the days. still warm
and bright and clear.
Her cricket heralds fiddle loud and sweet
When In the chilly wind she speaks at
noon
The trees all shiver and mourn for their
leaves:
In saddened monotone the river grieves
Knowing that winter follows fast and
soon'
in all her splendor earth awaits her doom;
Each flower wears an unearthly lowell
ness.
As though 1t sought with pity to impress
That untamed spirit bringing death and
gloom.
In vain they strive, still louder and more
clear
The echo Of her footsteps meets the ear.

CONE THEN.
BY lUE T. VERNON

do not want you when your feet
With buoyant footstep tread on air,
And you can smile on all you meet,
And Danish care;
But when the road is long and old,
And care seems the way of men,
And you are weary, sad and cold,
Come then.
l do not want you when your name
From lip to lip is proudly rolled;
l do not want you when your fame
Has brought you gold;
But when you fight and strive and press
And no one reads the songs you pen,
And life is full Of loneliness
Come then.

One with the ruined sunset,
The strange forsaken sands,
What Is 1t waits and wanders
And signs with desperate hands?
What is 1t calls In the twilight,
Calls as its chance were vain?

Or the voice OF an ancient pain?
