Where Truth Paws.

A little town in South Texas does
its lazy best to support three hotels.
Each sends a negro porter to meet
the diurnaI train, where they vie with
one another, as only darkies can. in
their attempts to get the few travelling
men who stop. At the present time
one of the big, good-natured negroes,
who seems to know human nature,
is calling out: Right dis way TO de
State House, de bes' second-class
hotel in town" Then, with a broad
grin, he adds: 'Dey amt no fust-
class.

Cardinal Newman.

He bore about him the perfect hui
mility of true greatness. His face
had a strange usefulness and his
eyes seemed habftually to be gazing
beyond and through the visible
things of the world about him to some
vision far distant and unsubstan-
tial- There was always a sense OF
deep power behind his unruffied gen.
tleness and urbanity. When he en-
tered room full of people, and these
not undistinguished, every one else
instantly seemed to become by COM
parsion Insignificant and ordinary;
and this before he had spoken a word.

when the migration is the heaviest.
One man can tend to one-half to three
fourth of mile of barrier. The bugs
usually begin to cross about o'clock
in the afternoon and reach the maxi
mum between 3 and 6 o'clock. On
cool days the movement begins
earlier. A few bugs are sure to get
across the barrier and infest the ad-
jacent fields. These may be destroyed
by a soap spray of eight pounds of
laundry soap dissolved in 80 gallons
Of water, or by flaming the infested
plants with the gasoline torch. The
methods described ave been very
effective on the college farm.
During recent years numerous tests
have been made with the fungous dis
ease which destroys chinch bugs and
other insects in large numbers every
year. The results seem to indicate
that this disease is only effective
when the climatic conditions are right.
The experts at the agricultural col
Iege recommend that farmers do not
attempt to introduce this fungOus into
their fields.

NOT SATISFIED WITH SPIRITS
Maurice MaeterIinck Would Have
Ghosts More Specific In the In
formation They Give.

Maurice Maeterlinck, writing about
life after death in the Fortnightly Re.
view, makes these remarks about the
so-called Spirits" that are material
lied by mediums:
1T is a remarkable thing that they
appear to be much more interested in
events here below than in those of the
world wherein they move.
They seem, above all, jealous in es-
tablishing their identity, to prove that
they still exist, that they recognize us,
that they know everything; and, to
convince us of this they enter into
the most minute and forgotten details
with extraordinary precision, perspi-
cacity and prolixity.
They are also extremely clever at
unravelling the intricate family con-
nections of the person actually Ques-
tioning them, of any of the citters, or
even of stranger entering the room.
They recall this ones little iniirmities,
that ones maladies, the eccentricities
or tendencies of a third.
They have cognizance of events
taking place at distance but
there comes from it all no breath, no
glimmer of the hereafter, not even
the something vaguely promised and
vaguely waited for.
I'VE shall be told that the mediums
are visited only by inferior spirits, in
capable of tearing themselves from
earthly cares and soaring toward
greater and loftier ideas. 1t is posi-
BILE; and no doubt we are wrong to be-
lieve that spirit stripped of it's body
can suddenly be transformed and
reach in moment the level of our i'm.
aginings; but could they not at least
inform us where they are and what
they feel and what they do?"

What IT ALL MEANT
By HAROLD CARTER.

To Clarice it seemed the most
amazing thilg in the world. Only
three weeks before marriage had been
the far.ilest thing from her thoughts.
Of course, she had hoped to be mar
ried some day, as every girl does. But
some day" seems any day when one
is only tNenty-three.
And now she was engaged And to
Richard Littlefeld the famous editor
of the most famous, though not the
most widely circulated magazine in
America. Little1ield was only thirty
four, but when old Granger died, dur
ing the previous year, he had at once
been selected for his position, and had
filled it uncommonly well.
The wife of Richard Littlefeld!
Why, Clarice's father had taken the
magazine for years and sworn by it.
AS Littlefield's wife she would meet
everybody who was of the least-and
most-consequence in every field Of
art
1t had happened very simply. Rich
ard had come to stay at the little
summer hotel next door, and he had
met Clarice, and they had loved each
other. That was all she knew about

quiring friends
And when Richard went away he
bent down and whispered that he was
coming back fer her soon-as soon as
he could make arrangements. This
was September. and they hoped to be
married at Christmas
Nevertheless, Clarice's happiness
had not been untinged with distress.
Though Richard talked like any ordi-
nary man, she knew that his mind
was one of the most brilliant in
America. And she, with her poor
education-a mere high school one
how could she make fit wife for
Richard?
Clarice had, indeed, surreptitiously
endeavored to improve her education
from the first day she met Richard,
but she gave it up in despair. The
task was too big one to be COM
pleted by Christmas She had also,
because her widowed mother was not

Richard Littlefield, holding out the
letter.
1T MEANS" sobbed Clarice, that
that I am George Black"
George Black!" echoed the editor.
"Ye-es," wept Clarice. "You told me
that my st-stories weren't any good,
and that from the m.im.immatu-turity
Of them you gu-guessed was wo-wo-
woman, and that l couldn't write for
the Lev-v-viathan.'
A light burst in on Littlefield's an
guished soul.
Good heavens!" he muttered. But
why did you want to write stories?"
Because I knew you thought me
ignorant and foolish" murmured Clar-
ice, "and knew l wasn't a fit wife
for you. and wanted to sh.show you
that / was capable of becoming a
l-l-literary person"
Dearest" murmured her fiance,
drawing her upon his knee, IF you
knew how l detest literary persons!
That's my business. Clarice, not my
life. I loved you just for yourself. I
should hate to have you writing sto.

night train back. Our engagements
still flourishing, isn't it,"
And Clarice's happy smile and kiss
answered his question.
That was how the cook.b book came
to be restored to the post of honor
upon the bookshelf again.
