Character the Har-
vest of Life.

and worry on the farm, 1t is
worth while to stop once in a
while and think what will be the
final result or harvest of 1t ALL
for a final result or harvest there
will surely be. We can not help
that; and it will be according to
our sowing. So far as we our
selves are concerned, it will be
what we take with US when we
cross over, and will be deter
mined by what we are at the
time we 60. So far as our chill
dren are concerned, it will be
what they are; and what they
are will be largely determined
by what we are before we 60,
and the training that we give
them while with them. We can
not take our farms nor our notes
receivable nor our live stock with
US. We can not even take our
regulations, for over there they
do not seem to take regulations
made here, whether good or bad,
at their face value.
It will not be a question OF
what we have, but how we got
it; for the method of getting 1t
makes character, and that's all
that counts in the court of final
result We do not need to inn
agiue ourselves over there, where
there is no money to be made. to
see how miserable a man would
be who had developed a taste for
money making by hook or BY
crook, and had developed nothing
else. We need only to look
around US to see men and women
who are living miserably because
they are possessed with the idea
that their neighbors are trying
to cheat them, or the children
waiting for them to die so that
the estate can be cut up; as to
see other men and women who
ha ye so lived and 30 trained their
children that they are to them 4
source of the keenest anxiety and
shame, instead Of 4 perennial
fountain of joy. They are al
ready reaping their harvest of
grief, and there is no chance now
for the sowing of better seed,
even if they would, says. Wal
laces' Farmer.
The farm offers many advan-
tages for the development OF
character-which, after all, is
life's harvest. Nowhere is there
a better opening for goodwill to
men, for brotherly kindness, for
the spirit of helpfuluess, that is
the very bloom and fruitage of a
noble character. Nowhere is
there a better opportunity for
seeing the operation of the ele-
mental forces, the summer heat,
the bitter cold, the sunshine, the
gentle rain, the refreshing dew,
and the operations of the checks
and the balances in the life in
the air, in the soil and in the for
est, revealing the master-mind
behind and above it all. We
may blind ourselves to all OF
this, if we make mere money get
ting or political position the
chief end of our lives, or if We
make the qualification of passion
or the pursuit of pleasure the
chief motive, the master-wheel
of our lives.
What about your children? The
farn, has advantages for the de-
velopment Of character in child
hood, which are found in such
fullness and completeness mo-
where else. Il develops habits
of Industry, without which there
can be no gfsGt and noble char

and girl can do. and which they

Huerta Press is Printing Articles Hostile to Americans and Span.
 iards to Cause Dissatisfaction.

Mexico City, Dec. 10.-It is official ly stated that the rebels began their attack on Tampico his morning and that fighting has continued all day. It was stated unofffcially in the after noon that rebels had been repulsed, but no dispatch to this effect was produced. It is reported that all the American battleships except three at Vera Cruz have been rushed to Tam picc.
 Following yesterdays action of the congress in endorsing the Huerta aa- ministration and providing for it's continuance, and that of the congress itself until after the new elections set for next July, Huerta press has begun the systematic dissemination of anti-foreign sentiment. This ef- fort is being directed principally against Americans and Spaniards. In spite of this the members Of the American colony continue to rely up on the promises of Huerta that the safety of all foreigners will be the first care of the government in the event of an outbreak in the capital.
 The uprising in Hidalgo is attain ing menacing proportions. Vicente segura. the millionaire ex-bull fight CT. with 15,00o men, armed at his own expense, captured the town or Toto- plan in that state today and is now marching on Real Del None only flf- teen miles from Pachuca, Segura's g home town. which, it is believed, will capitulate to him.

 Contol
ADOPTS ITS BYLAWS BEFORE CONGRESS
When He Delivered Message Last June and Statement ContradictS
 His Present Plan.

Washington, Dec. 10.-With the president and party leaders insisting upon reserve banks controlled by and owned by the members banks Senator Weeks, of MassaC husetts introduced into the currency discus sion in the senate today a quotation from the presidents message of June 23, last, declaring for public control of the proposed new system. No sen ent discrepancy. The pres dent was speaking of the tyrannies of business and here is what Senator Weeks read into the record from the special message to congress by the president of the United States when he appear ed in person and urged immediate consideration of currency legislation
 eff man cannot make his assets available at pleasure, his assets oi capacity and character and of re- sources, what satisfaction is it to him to see opportunity beckoning to him on every hand when others have the keys of credit in their pockets and treat them as all but their own pri- vate possession?
 "It is perfectly clear that it is our duty to supply the new banking and currency system, sthe country needs and it will needW Immediately more than it has ever needed it before And the control of the system Of banking and of issue which our new laws are to set up must be public not private, must be vested in the government itself so that the banks may be the instruments, not the mas ters of business and of individual en- terprise and initiative"
 Senator Nelson concluded speech that had continued over two days He asserted that the action of the Owen section of the committee if providing that the notes to be issued should be redeemed in gold only fol the treasury had conceded the prln- ciple of the Hitchcock measure or that important subject. Not even ht members of the committee, Senator Nelson said, could accept the require ments that the final redemption o these notes should be either in golt "or lawful money" as MT. Bryan has urged.

TRUSTY C0NFESSES ID BRUTAL MURDER Fred Pelton Says He Cut Woman's Throat Near
 the State Farm
IS DOING 115 YEARS
Woman's Body Was Found by Hum. ter Yesterdayyy-ROde With
 Man Who Murdered Her.

Fred Pelton, negro trusty on the State Farm at Cufmins, who is serv- ing 115 years for furder and other crifes and who has only "done" sev- enteen years of that time, last night confessed to the brutal murder of "Aunty Whey" Hatton. an old negro woman who was found dead with her throat cut from ear to ear Tuesday afternoon by Dr. c. w. Dixon a we'll known physician of Douglas, while he was hunting near Douglas. The woman had been fissing from her home near Douglas since Monday, when she left for Pine Bluff to do some Christmas shopping. Pelton was sent to the state penitentiary from Pulaski county.
 When the woman's body was found the find was reported to the officers of Lincoln county and after an in- vestigation suspicion fell upon Pel- ton. Warden McCcok questioned Pelton closely and after putting him through a process of Interrogation, the negro finally confessed.
 Pelton drove team of ponies, at tached to surrey, to schoolhouse Monday morning, some distance from the State Farm. Tn the rig were MT. McCook and his son. He left them at the school house and returnel to the farm with the rig. He says he met Aunt Whey" Hatton on the road and hat she told him she would give him 50 cents if he rode her piece down the road. He agreed and she got into the rig. After they had gone short way. Pelton says he asked the woman for the fifty cents and she refused. He put her out and got out of the rig after her. He de- manded his fifty cents and she again refused. He then pulled razor from his pocket, knocked her down and cut her throat, robbing her of $16. He the nrolled the body down the bank of ravine and drove back to the State Farm.
 District Attorney T. G. Parham, of this city, was last nigh informed of he negro's confession and will prob ably take some legal action in the matter. Although Pelton is doing an impossible prison term he will most likely be sent to the electric chair. The negro had been rusty at the State Farm for seven years.

MANDOT RESTS THE
 CANADIAN BOXER

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 10--Joe Mandot the Southerner baker boy" and Patsy Drouillard Canadian light weight :nampian, fought eight busy rounds at Windsor tonight. Mandot completely outclassed the Canadian, but for the latter it can be said that he made Mandot fight. Mandots boxing exhibition compared favorably with that of Packy Mcfarland here two weeks ago. Mcfarland, however had much swifter opponent than Joe tackled. Maadot used straight left to g'eat advantage and was ex- ceedingly clever in lodging Patsy's leads. H.s longer reach helped him considerably in the exchanges.
