like a banner, had reached the firing
line when a fresh and more furious
volley came from the Turkish column.
He stood alone among the recumbent
soldiers who continued to fire. Then
he began to chant the hymn God
Against the Infidel.' He reached the
lines, which, in English run: 'Tribu-

of the Lord when HIS voice suddenly
gave way. He waved his arms about
his head and fell on his face with a

suit Of an attack on w. ]. Muldrow in

Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
has announced his purpose Of devoting
much time during the approaching
short session of congress to promoting
action on the house bill pending in
the senate for an extension OF the eX-
pertinent work of the various state ag
ricultural colleges Of the country. The
purpose Of the bill is to permit the co.,
leges to establish an agency in each
county of all the states, which would
carry to the homes of the farmers the
knowledge collected in the state insti
tutions. Mr.. Smith would have the ex-
periments made upon the private farms
themselves, and he says the bill would
authorize such practice. The measure
provides an annual appropriation of
$3,000,000. 1t passed the house last
season, but failed in the senate. Speak
ing of the bill last Saturday Mr.. Smith
said: THE best of farming requires
art as we'll as science, and when the
colleges of agriculture, through their
skilled representatives demonstrate
upon a piece Of land in the presence Of
the farmers of the neighborhood just
what the experiments have done for
agriculture, then the farmers will more
readily be able to apply the knowledge
gathered from it. do not believe there
is measure pending in congress,
which will bring anything like the ben
efits for the expenditures intended that
may be confidently expected to come
from this measure. 1t will carry vast
amount of valuable information, which
will be Immediately practiced among
the farmers of the country, and all the
people will receive a benefit from 1t. l
earnestly hope that this measure may
be passed at the next session, so that
the legislatures of the states which
meet in January may take it up at
once and arrange the local appropri-
ations which are required to make 1t
possible Immediately, to inaugurate
demonstration work in all parts of ev-
cry state of the union"
President Taft sang his swan
song as chief executive Of the nation
in New York last Saturday night. AS
the guest of the Lotus club the presi-
dent responded to the toast THE
President" in a speech which many
of his hearers considered the most re-
markable he has ever made. He shift
ed from grave to gay and from the
philosophy which he said four years in
the White House had taught, to dis
cussion of problems which face the
nation. He laughed at the outcome of
the election, smiled when he spoke of
some of the plans of President elect
Wilson and touched with gentle sar-
casm on William Jennings Bryan. In
his serious moments the president ear
nestly advocated the admission to the
halls of congress the members of a |
