in the last analysis, the explanation OF
his power. Later, in his memorable
effort to retain high scholarship and
simple democracy in Princeton univer-
sity, he declared, "The great voice Of
America does not come from seats Of
learning. It comes in murmur from
the hills, and woods, and the farms and
factories and the mills, rolling on and
gaining volume until it comes to us
from the homes of common men. Do
these murmurs echo in the corridors Of
our universitiess I have not heard
them.' A clarion call to the spirit that
now moves America. Still later he
shouted, ct will not cry peace so
long as social injustice and political
wrong exists in the state Of New
jersey" (Applause.) Here is the very
soul of the silent revolution now
solidifying sentiment and purpose in
our common country.
The deeds Of this moral and Intellect
ual giant are known to all men. They
accord, not with the shams and pre-
lenses of diseased and disorganized
politics, but make national harmony
with the millions Of patriots determined
to correct the wrongs Of p1utocracy and
reestablish the maxims Of American
liberty in all their pregnant beauty and
practical =. effectiveness. (Applause.)

FERTILITY MAY BE RESTORED
Principal Factor in Restoration, Ac-
cordins to Prof. Alfred Vivian,
Is Organic Matter.

ANY soil which was once rich can
be made rich" is the declaration
made by Prof. Alfred Vivian, acting
dean Of the College of Agriculture.
Ohio State University, in a recent ad-
dress. The principal factor concerned
in the restoration of the soil fertility.
according to Prof. Vivian, is organic
matter.
THE destruction of organic matter
by cultivation and otherwise, is
largely responsible for the depletion
u our Soils" said he. This organic
matter must be restored If we expect
u farms to be productive. What
does organic matter do? 1t increases
the power of the soil to absorb and
retain moisture; improves the physi-
cal or mechanical condition Of the
soil; helps to control soil tempera-
ture, and Is a storehouse Of plant
food. How can organic matter be re-
stored to the soil?
"By saving all animal manures n
putting them onto the land; by max
ing use of all crop %residues, that Is,
putting back into the soil everything
not used for feed; by turning under
green manuring and catch crops"
Prof. Vivian pointed out the loss sus-
tanned by burning straw stacks and
other crop residues and declared that
the difference between the careful
saving Of this plant food and its wan
ton destruction was "the difference
between the salvation and damnation
of our soils"

EARLIEST OF SWEET PEPPERS
Plants Require Rather Light, Well
Drained Soil, and They Must Be
Kept Growing From Start.

Perhaps the earliest variety is the
Neapolitan. If we'll grown plants are
set out early they will produce fine
fruit in June. The fruit first turns to
a light yellow and then to a brilliant
scarlet.
The Ruby King, the Bull Nose, or
Sweet Bell are fine peppers. They are
blunt nosed, round and about two or
three inches long. The Ruby King is
a little larger than the Bull Nose and
it's flesh is very mild and sweet.
These plants grow about three feet
high and are not easily blown down.
The largest variety is the Chinese
Giant. The flesh is thick and sweet
and can be eaten raw.
Peppers require rather light, well
drained soil, and they must be kept
growing from the start. If the growth
is checked by cold weather or lack of
moisture they will not mature well.
When the plants show two or three
leaves in seed bed transplant in small
cans or flower pots, and again trans
plant when all danger of frost is
passed and, in fact, not until the
weather becomes quite warm. Place
a shovelful of well watered manure in
each hill,

to him the wound was a thing holy
Bandages long and stained were re-
moved, and the President saw.
'Oh, this war! This awful, awful
war!" he sobbed.
Down the deep lined burrows of the
homely. kindly face hot tears burned
their way. Slowly, tenderly, the
President leaned over the pillow.
Now the tears of which he was not
ashamed cut heavy burrows in it and
splotched the white sheets on which
they fell. While nurses and surgeons
and men watched there in the little
hospital Abraham Lincoln took the
pallid face of Houghton between his
hands and kissed it, just below the
damp, tangled hair.
MY boy" he said brokenly, swal-
lowing, you must live. You must
live"
The first CLEAN Of real. warm.
throbbing life came into the dull eyes.
Houghton. stiffened, with a conscious,
elastic tension in the cot. With a
little wan smile he managed to drag
a hand to his forehead. It was the
nearest he could come to a salute.
The awkward form of the President
bent lower and lower to catch the
faint, faint words.
Il intend to, sir" was what Hough-
ton said. And he did.

KISS BROUGHT BACK A LIFE
Incident Showing Tenderness Of
Heart of Martyred President
Scene Worthy Of Artist.

No story of Abraham Lincoln SO
well illustrates the great tenderness
of his heart as that which tells of the
kiss he gave a wounded soldier-hero.
In a narrow cot in the military hos
pital at City Point Maj. Charles H.
Houghton was dying. He had been IN
command of Fort Haskell, a strategic
point in the rear of Grants lines,
against which all the fury of Lees
attack was being directed in an effort
to break the Union lines. Against
Maj. Houghton, a mere boy of 20 years
old, were pitted the science and STRAIT
egic knowledge OF Gen. John B. Cor
don, Of Georgia.
Shortly after. at 9 o'clock n morn
ing, the door at the end Of the ward
was opened and DR.. Macdonald, CHIEF
surgeon, called:
Attention! The President Of the
United States"
Those on the cots who had the
strength sat erect; nurses propped
others against pillows. Hands went
to pallid foreheads in the military ga
lutte and weakened hearts beat fast
again as in the doorway appeared
the form Of the man who stood for
all that thousands of other men had
fought for, died for and would live
for.
There outside the door, the sunlight
streaming into the room over square,
gaunt shoulders, stood Abraham Lin
coin. Into the room he stalked, bend
ing his awkward form ungracefully,
for the doorway was low. At cot
after cot he paused to speak some
word of cheer.
At Houghton's cot the two men
paused. 'This is the man." whispered
Macdonald.
With a large, uncouth hand the
President motioned for a chair. ST.
lently a nurse placed n at the cots
head. Houghton did not know; he
could not. AS though he were afraid
it would clatter and hurt the sufferer,
Lincoln softly placed his "~stovepipe"
hat Of exaggerated fashion on the
floor. Gently as a woman he took
the wasted, colorless hand in his own
sinewy one Of iron strength. Just the
suspicion Of a pressure was there,
but Houghton opened his eyes. Slow
ly, duly be realized who it was be-
side him.
A smile which had forgotten suffer
ing answered the great Presidents
smile Of pain. In tones soft, almost
musical, it seemed, the President
spoke to the boy on the cot, told him
how he had heard Of his great deeds,
how he vas proud of his fellow coun-
tryman. how he had saved al army.
A few feeble words Houghton spoke
in reply. At the poor, toneless voice
the President WINGED. The doctor
had told him that Houghton would
die. Then happened a strange thing.
The President asked to see the wound
which was taking SO noble a life.
Surgeons and nurses tried to dis
suade him, but Lincoln insisted. The
horrors Of war were for him to bear
as well as others, he told them. and

All farmers know that excellent

BELIEFS OF NATIVES
Mysterious C~ereGaony of lulu in
West Africa.
BLACKS Worship Smallpox Victims
and Even Put Their Faces Against
Patient to Obtain the De-
sired Scars.

Cape Colony, Africa.-Fetish trav-
elers in West Africa are unfailingly
struck by the curious forms of wor-
ship adopted by the superstitious ma
uves. They Illustrate the truth of the
statement that every human being &C
knowledges in his heart some sort OF
worship to a deity, but the varieties In
The dark continent are queer indeed.
Take a stroll through any African
town or village and you will notice a
score of little matched huts with mud
floors, on which are thrown a heap OF
ordinary stones. These huts are the
fetish houses, to which the natives go
and salaam and ask heir gods for
various blessings after leaving Offer
ings of beads, yams and nuts.
In some parts of Africa they even
worship smallpox. The natives treat
the infected patient with great rever-
ence and even rub heir faces on his
body to obtain the desired scars.
European administrators naturally re-
gard this form of worship sternly.
Only the other day a chief was sus-
pended for having encouraged it.
The belief the native has in the ef-
f~iciency of ju-ju or witchcraft is touch
Ing in the extreme. Fake the case or
q mar who believes his wife is not as
faithful to him as she should be. he
promptly proceeds to the witch doc
tor, and on payment Of a fee varying
in amount according to the required
severity of h spell, requests that a
ju-ju shall be put on his hated rival.
When one OF these rivals dies-from
a dose of ground glass or the thou
sand and one ways in which the
crime can be committed out here
the triumphant lover exclatms: "Ha!
See the power of the ju-ju," and the
witch doctor adds more kudos to his
reputation.

ried out with the strictest regard to

hoist it on to the head of one OF their
number, who leads them in procession

ers out of a live chicken and scat
tering them broadcast. Arrived at the

under the floor, and all the relations
and friends come in n drink gin

many nights as the family has money

to buy liquor. Included in these cele-
brations there is much firing OF guns
and beating of drums to scare or evil
spirits. Tenderfoot white men are
distracted by the racket, but after a
time they treat it quite as an ordinary
occurrence.
Another curious practice dating
from very early times, Is the playing
of an instrument called the orc. This
is made of a piece of native wood or
iron. shaped like a dagger, to which
a long string is tied. When this is
swung around and around rapidly it
produces a truly blood-curdling sound,
like a long-drawn wall. This sound is
supposed to be the crying out OF dead
spirits, and only the men can safely
look on the orc and live. II a woman
looks on it she dies-the native will
tell you by spells, but in reality by
being struck on the back Of the head
by the whirling piece OF iron.
The African is very fond of process
sions, and a very common sight is a
native dressed from head to foot in
weird-colored clothing, with a wood
en- idol on his head, leaping in the
air and waving his arms, followed by
an admiring crowd OF men, ome
and children. This apparition is held
by common consent to be the spirit
o. a dead man paying a visit to the
earth.

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family he
health of it's different members is
most important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative hat is certain In
it's effect is appreciated. One Of he
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle In it's
action on the bowels, yet positive in
it's effect. A dose OF, Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while it's tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles Of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.Oo
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive. yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. w. B. Caldwell,
POI Washington ST., Monticello. ILL.,,
and ask for a sample bottle. DR.. Cald-
well will be glad to send it without
any expense to you whatever.

REASONABLE WORK IN GARDEN
As Rule for Most Things II Is Safe to
Wait Until Around Corn Plant
Ing Time for Start.

We are always eager to get the gar
den started in the spring, but as a
rule for the most things it is safe to
wait until around corn planting time
or a little before. No use to put seed
into cold damp ground only to rot.
Better start the plants in the hot
bed and taper off in the cold frame.
and then when set out In the open
they will hump themselves.
It's a mighty mean man who will
permit his wife to spade up the gar
den and do all the work on it the
whole season through.
Never drill strong fertilizer, like
sheep or poultry manure, in the rows
next to the seed. Better plan is to
work it into the ground before plant
ing or In the rows just after the plants
appear and close enough SO it will
touch.
Everybody grows rhubarb, but few
farmers know that they a grow as
paragus just as easily. 1t is one Of the
most delicious vegetables grown and
requires no special care. Start with
one or two year old plants.

Marketing Vegetables.

The successful marketing of vege-
tables, beyond doubt, is the most seri-
Gus question of all our commercial
growers. In many instances, it is ap-
parently impossible to make ship
ments to the city and realize a fair
profit.
This condition is due to high freight
or express charges, INSCRIPTIONS
dealers and too many middlemen.
There is too much difference between
the price received by the producer
and that paid by the consumer, and
this is the primary Of the high
cost of living in large cities.
