comnIlments u the Season.

Whether or not this story, sent to
the London Telegraph by its Paris
correspondent, is fact or invention, il
has SO delightful a flavor Of the Orient
that every one will feel that it ought
to be true:
When the sultan of Turkey gave or
ders for the mobilization Of his troops
he sent the king of Bulgaria sack OF
millet with the following letter:
Ferdinand Effendi. Mobilize If you
like, but be assured that there are as
many soldiers in Turkey as there are
grains Of miIlet in this sack. Now, Il
you wish, declare war;
Ferdinand's reply was in kind. He
sent much smaller sack, filed with
tiny grains Of the hottest red pepper
of the country. With it went the fol-
lowing letter:
Dear Sultan. The Bulgarians are
not numerous, 1t is true, but be as.
sured that to stick your nose into
their affairs is like sticking it into our
national condiment. Try 1t and see.
They will sting you so sharply that
the whole of Asia will not be able tt
save you. Youths Companion.

In view Of its strange influence over
mans heart and life, 1t is no wonder
that the greatest minds of all ages
have taxed all language to express
their conception of the full value OF
music. Our education is too gross and
utilitarian. We have made too much
Of the intellect and too little of the
feelings. No parent has done his full
duty to his child until during the pre-
cious memory years before sixteen he
has given the child's mind as pre-
cious memory forever the great patri-
otto hymns of home and native land,
the folklore hymns of his race, the
great classic hymns that sing of mans
need and the pathos of Gods love, the
sublimity of immortality and mystery
that lies beyond. For music has full
power Of pathos and sublimity and can
lift man into the ether Of the upper
world, can wash the dust from the
souls wings and make 1t triumphant

why THE PASTOR WAS LATE
on the Way TO a Wedding He Met .
Deer, and Stopped to Kill
the Animal.

The Rev. H. H. Thomas, pastor Of
the Baptist church at Greenwood and
Womley, started to Greenwood to Off
ciate at a wedding, and, says the
Arkansas Gazette, after six mile
drive from Mount Ida he saw large
deer chased by a pack Of hounds.
The preacher forgot about the wed
ding and followed the deer He ap-
preached the large buck, which came
to him, and they locked horns" The
deer lost his footing, and SO did the
minister, and they went tumbling
down the hillside together
Il came up on top" said the preach
er, "and in some way got my knife
open and cut the deer's throat, and
while holding to the long, shaggy
horns the deer gave big leap with
me and jumped into the water, carry
ing me with him. There he died in
few minutes and pulled him out,
got wagon and hauled the deer into
Mount Ida
The preacher, after being three
hours late, telephoned to Greenwood,
and, buying a new suit of clothes.
served at the wedding Of w. r. Burt
and Miss Lillian Anderson.

PROUD OF HIS SELF. CONTROL
Mrs. Brown Could Agree With He,
Eiese Lord. Too, That It Was
Something Uncommon.

Mr. Brown was excitable by nature
but he often prided himself audibly
upon his self-control. One night while
the family were gathered at the tee
table the chimney began to roar; the
furnace draft had been opened and for
gotten Sraightway a panic ensued.
Don't lose your heads-keep cool!
cried Mr.. Brown. ITS nothing seri
GUS"
He dashed up the stairs, discovered
that the metal cap over the only I'm.
used stovepipe hole was already red
hot, and dashed down again faster
than he went up.
'K-keep cool!p he gasped, as he
passed through the room where the
family had gathered in nervous appre
hension. I'm be back in a minute"
He was back in less than that time
having observed that the flames were
spouting several feet high from the
chimney, and that a shower Of sparks
was falling upon the roof.
''Wh-where's the step-ladder?" he
painted
He was gone before anyone could
answer the question, and presently
was heard believing from the roof OF
the woodshed. He presented an heroic
figure in the glare of the blazing
chimney
I've got one end of the hose!" he
called. Some one attach the other
end and turn on the water-quick!"
Two long minutes passed.
why doesn't some one do as or
dered?" he Numbered. DO you want
the place to burn up?9

Brown, trembIingly you haven't got

was hanging next to the hose in the
shed. And anyway, the roof is covered
with ice, and | don't think there's any
great danger outside. You'd better &C
and watch the chimney from the in
side"
A half-hour later the family were
again at the tea table.
III this had happened in some
homes" remarked Mr.. Brown, "tht

completely and sent in an alarm. Self
control is an excellent thing-and fal

White and red roses are grown, the
former being easier to cultivate, but
giving only about half as much oil Of
an inferior quality. The individual
growers distil their own oil Twelve
to fifteen kilos Of roses are distilled
with 60 kilos Of water until IL
kilos Of distillate are obtained; eight
to ten such lots are then united, and
redistilIed into long necked TASKS, in
which the oil separates on standing.
To produce one kilo Of oil requires
1900 kilos OF roses OF 100000 flow
ers. The roses are gathered In the
early morning and distilled the same
day The pure oil from the various
districts shows variations in odor and
physical properties, and is therefore
skilIfully blended by the distributing
houses before sale. Adulteration Is
very largely carried on by the peas.

Lack Of Space.

Charles H. Taylor, Jr., one OF the
owners Of the Boston Globe, was very
busy in his Office one morning when
there appeared before him Charles S.
Howard, the dramatic editor Of the

cisms having been cut down so that
they filled a very little space.
Cant help it" said Taylor crisply.
"The paper is crowded with advertise.

BASEBALL FOR THE FARMER
Possibly the Game Might Be Of Benefi
to Him, But It Is Hardly
Indispensable.

Baseball never has been regarded
exclusively as city product. While
1t is true that the cities supply the
enormous crowds that support the big
leagues, it is equally true that many
of the players in those leagues are
graduates Of the bush" leagues. The
country boy has an equal chance with
the city boy to win the high honors
and generous emoluments of success
full ball player The farmer himself
has not come directly in touch with
the national game, perhaps, except or
a rare holiday. A professor in the
Kansas State Agricultural college calls
this a mistake. Familiarity with the
game, he believes, would promote sue
cess in agriculture. II the farmei
would play ball ut would take the
shamble out Of his walk" and make
him decide quickly" This is an in
teresting theory, but 1t will not be uni
versalIy accepted Some viii contend
that the motor car has already taken
the 'shamble" out of the farmers
walk Others will insist that hand
ling a high spirited horse or pitching
