ARE ONLY WON BY PATIENCE
Things Best Worth Having In Life Be-
long to Those Who Can Wait
to Conquer.

It is always costly to raise money
many advantages we secure in life.
We saddle the future with the debts
Of today, because we are too impa-
tient to wait. 1t Is patience that
brings us whatever Is best worth hay.
Ing. Maturity and strength Of char
acter are won by waiting. They can
not be forced up in a day. 1t is the
mature man who comes and sees and
conquers, because he has ripened and
he is ready for action. The man who
fails is almost always the man who
has not been patient.
Yet it seems tame counsel to advise
people to wait The young especially
are apt to think that they can go forth
and possess the world. They believe
in a sudden raid, q quick Selling. They
thltk it both tedious and weak to de-
lay. They tell themselves that sue"
cess is for him who can grasp 1t. They
reach for it too eagerly and fall heaV-
ily to earth.
It is never wise to envy another per
son the things that are won easily. II
we coyet anything at all, it should be
those things that are won with slow
patience, fruits Of ripe and mature
growth, fabrics raised carefully on q
secure foundation. These things,
though we may we'll covet them, are
the gifts that we may all win. They
may be difficult, but they are always
possible. Patience is their condition,
and patience in proportion to their
value. Being worth much, they cost
much, and Yet their price is always

WHY ERMINE FUR Is COSTLY
Process of Trapping the Animal Is
Peculiar One, and Entails Hard
ship on the Trapper.

"This stole of imperial ermine Is
worth $1,000" said the dealer. Dear?
Nix. Just consider how the animals
comprised in it were caught!
'In the first place, they were caught
in a winter of extreme cold, for it Is
only in such winter that the weasel,
'or ermine, turns from tawny to snow
white. In normal winters the ermine
only turns to greenish white--like
this $500 greenish white stole hers
In the second place, the ermine
were caught young; for, when fully de-
veloped, their coat Is coarse and stiff
as in this $3.50 stole-and to catch
them young, the tongue trap must be
used. Any other trap would tear the
delicate fur.
1.-THE tongue trap is knife, an Or
binary hunting-knife smeared witk
grease, that the hunter lays in the
snow. The little ermine sees the

PLEASURES OF The POOR

"The pains of poverty" wrote Thorn.
IS De Quincy, 81 had lately seen too
much Of; more than l wished to re-
member; but the pleasures of the
poor. tEeir consultations Of spirit and
their reposes from bodily toll. can
never become oppressive to contem-
plate" Indeed there are pleasures oil
the poor, says the Kansas City Star,
One Is rot so sure of the delight OF
"reposes from bodily toll" That
phrase, as used by De Quincy, IS
reminiscent of Senator Vests story OF
the little negro boy who was pounding
his finger with hammer and was cry
ing from the pain. why do you do
that?" the senator asked him, oh,
he said, 1T feels 50 good when quilt.
But If the toll is not oppressive. sure
ly the period OF rest Is the sWeeter
because of It, The pleasures OF the
poor include a love of good reading
and leisure for it; appetites for the
best eating In the world. boiled din
ners; childhood. storing memories OF
swimmin' holes and bare feet and cir
cuses and humble bee fights; the treat
of an occasional good play; the not
misery exultation at money put by for
q rainy day; the selfish satisfaction OF
seif-sacrlice; the romance of youth
where marriage IS OF helpmates, "pard'
ners." Oh, there are pleasures OF the
poor-and a country whose pioneers
knew them so well, whose newer COM
munities know them yet so well, must
restore them by eradicating needless
unillumined poverty.

CROP WEATHER GOOD.
States West of Mississippi Favored
During April.

Washington, April 18.-The weather
bureaus crop weather bulletin just
issued says:
The weather during April to date
has been in mark, contrast with the
severe conditions that existed during
much of the period since the begin
ming of the year, especially in the dis
tricts to the eastwaTds of the Rocky
mountains. TO thg~Westward Of the
mountains the weather has been some
what less favorable during April, but
good rains have fallen lately in much
of that region and the soil is now
generally well saturated with moisture.
In the winter wheat states west of
the Mississippi the heavy snowfall Of
the past winter has left the soil we'll
filled with moisture and the unusual
snow covering doubtless proved highly
beneficial to the wheat plant during
the prevalence of the severe cold. In
the winter wheat states east of the
Mississippi, the snow covering was
generally lighter and afforded less
protection during the severe cold. The
soil is generally we'll saturated with
moisture and the favorable weather
of the past week has rapidly forced
vegetation forward in all parts of the
belt.
In the spring wheat region, snow
fall was generally less than usual but
good rains during the past week have
put the soil in gooG condition and the
weather was generally favorable for
outdoor work.
In the cotton region, the season is
everywhere backward and in portions
of the middle section, the heavy rains
of the past week have still further de-
layed the progress of the usual spring
operations. In Texas and Oklahoma
the soil appears to be in excellent con-
dition as to moisture and similar con-
ditions prevail over the more eastern
states of the belt. In portions of the
lower Mississippi valley, large areas
are under water from the severe foods
and much delay will occur in the usual
spring work.
