THE MAN WHO TALKS


 Are you thinking you do not get much out of life. and doubting wheth- CT CT not life is worth Iiving7 If you are you are getting on the negative, or fretful side of life. You had bet ter keep in the sunshine. for 1t Is the shadow that makes living things wilt. lou had better see If you are not get II you are not capable of doing some thing much better. Do not look on the other fellow with envy but look forWard to your future with hope. If you are resolved to do things right and to do them well you will surely | advance. Do not shirk any duty or responsibility. for there is always someone of influence looking at you besides the Ail-Seeing Eye. Your ap- pearance and your speech and your conduct all count for, or against you Be upright and never pass out opinions capacity is shown in what you say as well as in what you do.
 Why do some young persons who serve others. advance rapidly? It is not always because they were faithful in few things but because they are faithful in many. It is not all of ens- pioyment to do what is expected of you, for 1t may be possible to do some good or useful thing that is not ex-
 
 you are employed, see your employ CTS interest and promote it in any and every way you can. Merit seems to dwell rather in the things you are not paid for doing, than in what you are paid for doing. It is the clerk that shows quality that takes with the pro- prietor; the apprentice who shows in- itiative who Is 8 favorite with the boss; the hired man who puts the tools away and locks the barn that has firm place in the heart of his mas ter. An eye to the little things and a willing hand is what makes workers worth more and more to those who employ them. Do not think it is fa- voritism or luck for it is little thoughts followed by little deeds.
 Perhaps you do not realize this is the age of the two shadowed man. It is rather a startling discovery. when shadow to the right of him, or a shadow behind and shadow before, one black and the other gray, and as he recedes from one electric arc light and approaches the other the shadow behind becomes denser and the shadow before lighter. These electric rays in wade the zones of other electric rays and man becomes an obstruction to two lights instead of one, and hence this trio of the night, the signet by which one becomes three. and three are known to be only one. That old saying that two is company and three a crowd has no bearing upon this trio of the nights highway. Dense or light long or short, still or active these three are always of one mind and one mood and inseparable Two are men of silence. and perhaps they symbolic the wisdom of the third; at all events the third could have worse companions When all nations are under the eye and all religions in sight we have in- disputable evidence that man cannot do without a God; and that Voltaire was right when he said If God did not exist 1t would be necessary to in vent him.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Baird and family
were down from near Pawuee Rock
yesterday visiting with relatives and
friends and on a shopping trip. Ray
says the wheat is very fine up that
way and is making good pasture, a
thing which is coming in mighty han
dy for him as he has quite a bunch
Of horses and other stock and was
short on feed. Ray has some of the
best horses to be found anywhere
in the country, most of his stock be-
ing registered or eligible to register.
1t was his Percheron stallion, Dakar
Jr., which took the first prize with
four of his colts at the county fair
instead of Ewing Bros, as shown in
the premium list. The gentlemen
had their stock entered together and
mat was how the mistake occurred.

OF Clover that he had seen IN
Germany. Its hardness and its hong
roots led him to believe that porb.
ably 1t would do well in the Kansas
soil. and he sent So to a seed house
N Berlin and received bushel Of
the Glove seed, which he planted In
the Spring Of 1872. That clover was
in reality alfalfa. and the field in
which it Was planted was green while
the neighbours lands we've still bare
and brown.
Inc new corp naturally excited q
great zeal Of attention and when n
matured in the early summer Mr.
Hoffman cut it. despite the protests
OF his neighbors who said that It
would never grow again. But il did

man was put to much trouble in keen
ing them from being picked.
Neighbors, seeing the success Of
the alfalfa, besieged Mr.. Hoffman
for seed and he sold it to them by
the pound, threshing 1t out on the
barn floor with a fail. At first Il
was fed only to cattle, which flour
lshed on the new feed. Mr.. H6f-
man was efrdd to feed It TO the
horses, but finally decided to try It.
He mixed the alfalfa in with com
mon hay and no Iii effects followed. |
Seed was then sent for from one
Of the Wisconsin seed houses, and
cost $12 per bushel, and the expen-
1iture Of this money meant codsider-
able none than 500 does at present. |
Within a few years practically every |
farmer i'm the vicinity was growing
alfalfa, and later It spread all over
central Kansas.
