Fine tribute is paid President Will
son by the republican Minneapolis
Journal, which says that his "innova-
ton Of going TO the capitol when he
wants to see senators and representa-
tives appears to be working out well.
AS a ume-saye- it justifies itself. In
stead CT sending for 20 or 80 congress
men to come TO the White house by
twos and threes, he simply goes TO the
presidents room in the capitol and
sees them all at once. II there IS any
loss OF dignity on the part OF the ex-
ocutive, it has not shown itself.
President Wilson appears TO have a
quiet and effective way OF preserving
his dignity while doing the most
democratic things The dignity il ap-
pears is II the man himself. This is
one thing tha- makes for the success
Of the Wilson experiment"

TO SEEK sHERMAN's SEAT.

From down state comes the news
that Fred Kern, member OF the state
beard Of control, mayor of the hustl-
ing. little city of Bellville and editor
of a newspaper published in that city,
will be a candidate two years hence
TO succeed Senator Sherman in the
United States senate from Illinois.
If that section of the state is to be
listened to Mr.. Kern will not be the
Cnly candidate from Egypt. Charles
Boeschestein Of Edwardsville is quite
sure TO enter the lists. He deserves
well of his party. For years as chair:
man Of the state committee he kept
the party in good shape when there
was no chance of success. AS a mem
Der Of the national democratic COM
mittee he performed valuable services
in the campaign that resulted in VIII
son carrying Illinois. He possesses a
high order of ability and will have a
large following if he becomes a can
didate.
Another possibility is State Senator
w. Duff Piercey of Mt. Vernon, one
of the ablest men in the state. He
served in the lower house with dis
tinguished ability and was elevated
TO the senate where he became the
Duane floor leader. He is the author
Of the initiative and referendum and
made a brilliant fight for that meas
ure, the passage of which was greatly
desired by the governor.
Then too, Hon. L. B. Stringer of
Chicago are possibilities.

WHAT THE CHURCH DID FOR
EDUCATION.

what the Church did for
education. Her ten thousand mon
asteries kept alive and transmitted
that torch of learning which other
wise would have been extinguished
long before. A religious education
incomparably superior to the mere
athleticism of the mobiles hall was
extended to the meanest serf who
wished it This fact alone, by pro-
claiming the dignity of the individual,
elevated the entire hopes and destiny
of the race. The humaniZing ma
chinery of schools and universities,
the civilizing propaganda of mission
airy zeal, where they not due to her?
And more than this, her very existence
was a living education. It showed
that the successive ages were not
sporadic and accidental scenes, but
were continuous and inherent acts in
the one great drama. In Christendom
the yearnings of the past were full
filled, the direction of the future de-
termined In dim, but magnificent
procession, the giant forms of empires
on their way to ruin had each coded
to her their scepters, bequeathed to
her their gifts"

RABRoNI.
Canon FdTTer.

Sad we're thy hours on Calvary
With Christ in His drear agony
Thy bitter tears with love replete
Embalmed the Savior's wounded feet.
Thou sawst them take Him from the
Cross
How utter was thy cruel loss!
Thou sawst Him placed within the
tomb,
Thy soul was freighted then with
gloom.
Disconsolate you trod the way,
Your sad heart sang it's plaintive lay;
The sunny smile, the kingly face
OF Christ was humbled with disgrace.
How thrilled thy soul, how changed
thy fears!
When sweetest music charmed thy
ears;
The music of the Savior's voice
Which made your wounded heart re-
joice.
"Rabboni!" was your gladstone WORD
"Rabboni," yes, your sweet King
heard.
Ecstatic joy thrilled through thy
heart,
No more thy Savior would depart.
Oh, Magdalene, with joy elate,
Teach as thy love to initiate;
At Easter may our lips accord
Rabboni greeting to the Lord.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THOMAS JEFFERSoN's ADVICE TO
A BOY.

The following is a letter written by
Thomas Jefferson in the eighty-third
year of his life and in the year before
that in which he died. 1t was written
in answer to request from father
who had named his son for the inn
mortal Virginian, and who wished his
boy to have some memento of him
whose name he bore. Because of the
good advice it contains we transcribe
it for the benefit both of our boy and
our parent readers. It will be noted
that the poetry is a metrical transla-
ton of Psalm xiv:
"This letter will, to you, be as one
the grave before you can weigh its
counse1s Your affectionate and ex-
cellent father has requested that /
would address to you something which
might possibly have a favorable in
f1uence on the course of life you have
to run; and I, too, as namesake, feel
an interest in that course. Few words
will be necessary, with good DISPOSE
lions on your part. Adore God. Rev.
erence and cherish your parents. Love
your neighbor as yourself, and your
country more than yourself. Be just
Be true. Murmur not at the ways OF
Providence. So shall the life into
which you have entered, be the portal
to one of eternal and ineffable bliss
And if to the dead it is permitted to
care for the things of this world, every
action Of your life will be under my
regard.

SONGS OF bethlehem.

Four cycles of perfect song should
make of Bethlehem high place of
pilgrimages for the feet of poets.
There on the hillside, where the
sheep still bleat and Craze and are
led afield by their shepherds, David
the shepherd lad; found his song.
Before he died the King David had
written some matchless songs, woven
from his repented sin. But not even
a purple thread of sin repented is in
the web of his Bethlehem songs. The
shepherd lad, with a still untainted
heart, is Natures high priest, and
enters his holy Of holes with the
waving incense of shepherds psalms.
He is the first, and perhaps the fore
most, poet of Nature.

LESSON XIV.
RICE.

RICE.
Rice is a cereal, grown in Ceylon,
China, Japan, Central America and
the Gulf states. 1t is the richest in
starch exits per cent? and the poorest
in proteid and fat of all cereals. The
starch grains are small and easily
digested. Rice is said to be main
food of one-third of the human race.
Alone rice is not a perfect food. It
should be eaten with foods that build
and repair tissues, as eggs, milk,
meat, etc. When boiled rice absorbs
five times it's weight in water; but
loses some of it's small amount of
mineral matter.
The water in which rice has been
cooked may be utilized in mixing
bread, or it may be combined with
vegetables and used as a basis for
soups.
The older and drier the rice, the
longer it takes to soften.
To Wash Rice
Put rice in a wire strainer; put
strainer in a bowl of cold water. and
rub the rice between the hands;
change the water two or three times,
or until it is clear, the water will be
clean.
