The Harvest.

The inevitability of natures laws
comes to one at times with peculiar
force. Perhaps at no time more than
that of the harvest when more frui-
ton of seeds that were planted
months earlier finally marks the cul-
mination of influences in a maturity
of growth. Fields of ripened wheat
drying meadows, loaded orchards or
rustling corn rows proclaim the re-
suits of planting and the influence
of winds and sun and freshening
rains. Ugly weeds, barren waste
land and half-sm othered crops indi-
cate the lack of thrift and care or
the proper proportion of heat and
moisture, says the Register and
Leader.
And though apparently acting in
large measure within his own free
dom of choice, mankind is as unfail-
ingly subject to the natural laws of
his own being and the associations
and thoughts and habits which fall
to his experience. Somehow or 9TH
er, sometime, somewhere, we reap
what we SOW in a harvest CT plenty
or frugality or desolate discomfort.
A gay young reveller goes heed
lessly forth with the idea that wild

pendence and self-assertion. He
seems to escape any penalty for the
most fragrant disregard of physical
and moral order and well-being. He
laughs at the restrictions of caution,
and he sows with avowed prodigal-
ity. But the reckoning comes. In
hundreds of insane asylums over our
country, in inebriate sanitariums, in
hospitals and prisons and dens of
vice the planting of such youth is
reaping its inevitable harvest of hor-
ror and suffering and shame.
1t is matter of cause and effect,
rigid, inescapable relation be-
tween actions and results. And the
other side is just as effective as the
one of tragic reparation. There is
ultimate satisfaction in the life that
is lived in harmony with some con-
sistent philosophy based upon nat
ural human laws. The ages have
left us their silent testimony 1t
may not often be spectacular or
phenomenal, this harvest of sane and
clean sowing, but that lit pays to be
decent" that the wealth of simple,
personal pleasures outliyes those
won at the cost of self-respect, is a
thing for which we have daily eyi-
dence and warning.

They Don't Strike.

There is a class CT ;dborcrs who
never strike and seldom complain
They get up at FIVE o'clock in the
morning and never go to bed until
ten or eleven at night. They work
without ceasing during the whole OF
the time and get 10 other pay than
food and clothing. They understand
something of every branch OF econ
omy, from finance to cooking, though
harrassed by a hundred response
bilities, though driven and worried,
though humilitaed and looked down
upon, they never revolt and they can
not organize for their own protec-
tion: not even sickness relieves
them, from their post. No sacrilce
is deemed too great for them TO
make and no incompetency In any
branch of their work is excused. NO
essays and poems are written In tri-
butte to their steadfastness. They
are the housekeeping wives or the
majority of the people, who WORK,
live and die for their loved ones.

AT THE VERY PINNACLE
Herbert n CassOn, of New York, i'm
an Address, Declared Iowa at
the Very Pinnacle of
Agriculturalism.

Herbert N. Casson, of New York,
author of THE Romance of the
Reaper" THE Romance of Steel"
and other books, and a lecturer on
business and advertising topics, de-
clared in an address that the State
of Iowa is at the very pinnacle of
&sriculturalism. He said that there
was more machinery per farmer
in Iowa than any place else in the
world, and that the value of the
hogs of Iowa is greater than the
pay envelopes of all kings of Eur
ope.
I've got my eye on a farm here
in Iowa and l am going to buy it
and~then go back to New York and
tell them l own farm out where
farms belong he said. "A few years
ago l came to Iowa to write it up,
and | wrote that Iowa was at the
very pinnacle of agriculturalism.
When you start to talk about agri-
culture in Iowa you throw the die
tionary out of the window. You
bust all definitions" He said
that down in Florida there were
people buying parts of the ocean
and then filling it in with land and
calling it a farm, and that others
were buying land out in the deserts
of tAe west and then buying the wa
ter to put on it to make farm out
of it,
1t is a we'll established fact that
Iowa has never known total crop
failure. The worst year in the his
terry of the state, according to the
local weather and crop records and
those of the Iowa Department of
Agriculture, was in 1894, the year
that so many of the states had prac-
tically a total failure of crops. In
that year Iowa produced over $780,
o00,000 worth of field crops alone,
exclusive of the fruits and stock
production.
Iowa soil has shown its ability to
withstand drouth far better than
those of her neighboring states, but
the soil is seldom called upon to pro-
duce a crop without sufficient
amount of moisture TO bring the
crop through. The annual normal
precipitation in Iowa is 31.45 inch
es. The diversity of crops grown
here is so great that in no season
can all of the crops fail, and there
is always something growing in To-
wa.
A little patch of pansies, six feet
wide and fourteen feet long on the
shady side of the house, made a
profit of s62.5O for Mrs. o. V.
Graves, of Des Moines, last season.
The money was made from the sale
of seeds. This little patch produc-
ed twelve and one-half ounces of
seed, At wholesale rates this
brought IS an ounce, or $62.50.
1t just took ninety-siX pansy
plants to produce this amount of
seed The plants were set ten inch
es apart each way and grew to make
solid mat of bloom. The blooms
measured from two and three-fourths
TO three and a quarter inches across
September one plant had eighty-sey-
en- blooms.

What Would You Do :?

Over in Muskogee, few days ago g husband looking for his runaway wife, came suddenly upon her and her new love in the street. He didn t shoot, he didn't make melodramatic scene. He told her he had been searching for her because thier two litte children cried for her every day and prayed every night for her return. The woman's better nature was appealed to, the instincts of the mother prevailed over the passions of the woman and she asked to be for given and taken home
 He could have satisfied a certain sort of public sentiment and proved his so- called manhood by shooting his rival and spurning his wife, thereby proving his ''honor" and sending the woman to the gutter. This might have given him certain sort of satisfaction but it would have involved him in trial for his life or at least his liberty during which time and for long afterward, perhaps, if convicted, his babies would have been still luther bereft of parental care, love and protection.
 A man can shoot and slay, under such provocation and in the heat of passion with very little call upon his moral or physical courage.
 How much more moral courage was required to forgive both of those who had wronged him and to face the al most certain contempt of certain portion of the community who would feel thathe had violated the conventions in such case made and provided by not creating a bloody tragedy.
 On the other hand he had given the woman another chance; he had restored to his babies their mother.
 Was he a coward or a practical Christian?
 Did he right or wrong?
 What would you do? Fort Smith Times-Record.

Death of Miss Blanche Meeracken.

LedtH or MISS DtdfEtS HCSfaCkef'
 Many hearts were saddened in Green Forest last Friday morning, when it was announced that telegram had been received stating that Miss Blanche McCracken had died at hospital in Little Rock, where she was taken a week ago Sunday for an operation for appendicitis.
 The news of the young lady's death came as very great surprise as previous word from her after the operation had been of the most favor able nature She aroused Friday morning apparently feeling we'll enough and ate her breakfast with some relish, but scarcely had she finished the meal until she was seized with hiccoughs and all the medical effort that could be summoned at the hospital was of no avail, death coming with in a very few minutes.
 The remains were shipped back to her home at Kingston, where funeral services were held by Rev. Ewing Me Cracken of Sarcoxie, Mo.
 Miss McCracken was daughter of H. P. McCracken of Kingston and a sister of Mrs. G. W. Coxsey of Green Forest. The young lady had practically made her home in Green Forest for several years, having been sent here for the benefit of the school. She was very lovable girl in character and by her sunshinny disposition, she had greatly endeared herself to our people, and much sympathy is expressed for the bereft father and sister

Chattanooga merits easily the dis
tinction Of being religious center.
This is demonstrated not only by the
cordial welcome 1t always extends to
visiting religious conventions, but by
the activity in church circles locally.
The interchurch federation there has
already proven a success, as was
shown recently when the city audi
forum was the scene Of a service In
the interest Of church unity. under the
auspices of the federation.
The Baptists in Chattanooga occupy
high position numerically. There
are in Chattanooga over a dozen ac-
tive white Baptist churches and each
Monday morning, following confer
ence Of the ministers of all denomina-
lions in the Y. M. c. A. building, the
Baptist pastors meet in the Sunday
school room of the First Baptist
Church and there discuss the work Of
their denomination. The suburban,
churches in Chattanooga, as well as
those uptown, are active in promot-
ing the causes for which they stand.
All the Baptists of Chattanooga are
unanimous in their anticipation of the
coming laymen's convention and they
are making big preparations to give
their visiting brethren, both ministers
and laymen, a hearty welcome, the
memory Of which will last long after
the convention shall have adjourned.
A Chattanooga Baptist welcome,
which is of the highest type, and a
welcome from the members of the 9TH
err denominations. born Of Christian
fellowship, viii be accorded all dele
gates.
Chattanoogans will open their hearts
to the Baptist hosts who journey that
way February 4, and 6.
