LOT OF THE POOR IMPROVED
World Has Been Steadily Advanc-
ing During the Century.

Heaven knows we have not been un.
selfish. We have been hard enough
and grinding enough and buried deep
enough in plans for none and for
comfort, but the sense hat the poor
are with Us has never quite gone from
u minds. We have trimmed the
lamp of charity and kept it burning.
Little by little, the fame has grown
brighter and clearer until, in this cen
tury we have passed, we have begun
to see how it may light the world.
Here In America we have made educa-
ton free to all. We have given homes
to 10000, 600 people. In countless ways
we have alleviated suffering and ex-
tended opportunity. There is a cen
tury's work for you! And now we are
creating parks and Fairgrounds, and
revOlutioniZing the living conditions of
the poor in cities, banishing disease,
organizing from the moneys of the
rich, huge unselfsh companies to aid
in the emancipation of the poor, and
W. are gradually introducing into bust
ness life the honest principle of diyid-
ing profits with the workers. To the
trite platitude that the world was
advancing SO fast in material
prosperity as it does today. it may
truthfully be added that the vast in
crement in LIES satisfaction goes, in
the main. not to the rich. not to the
middle class. blu to the poor.-Fror

UNIQUE SHIPMENT OF BIBLES

The Bible house at New York city
has recently made a shipment of 1000
Bibles on a voyage OF $4,000 miles.
Poison vas worked into the covers of
the books to hinder the operations OF
destroying insects. The Bibles were
soldered up in tin boxes containing ten
each for protection against waves and
weather. The tin boxes were repacked
in pairs in heavy wooden crates de-
signed to withstand the hard knocks
incident to many reloadings and to
long journeys under varying condi-
tons. These Bibles. being a part of
the eighth edition printed in the Ian
guage Of the Gilbert islands, are to ar
rive ultimately at Ocean sland. a
small speck in the Pacific 5000 miles
southwest of San Francisco. lying al
most under the equator. Ocean Is
land is only a mile and a half In dia-
meter, but it is visited by many steam

phosphate. Hence its choice as a dis

RAISING CANADA FIELD PEAS
In Combination With Oats and Barley
Valuable Forage Crop May Be
Obtained in South.

A reader wants to know the diff
ference between Canada field peas and
our native e They are advertised
at IS cents a bushel cheaper, and If
they are as good l want to buy some
for planting in corn at last working,
also for hogs to Craze on"
There is little resemblance between
the Canadian field pea (pisum arvense
LIZ which resemble very closely the
garden pea (pisum sativum L.) and
the Southern cowpea (vigna unguicu-
lata). The Canadian field pea will not
do well sowed in corr at the last
working. In fact, it should be sowed
in January and February, according
to the location, and is then, in com
bination with such crops as oats and
barley a valuable forage or hay crop
for the South. We know of nothing
better than cowpeas for planting in
corn, says Progressive Farmer, taking
the Cotton Belt as a whole. The price
of cowpea seed is high, because it is
a poor and unreliable yielder of seed
and no entirely satisfactory method
of harvesting the seed has been
adopted. Canada field peas are
cheaper because they make a larger
yield OF seed.

The holy men sent the natives away,
Tor 1t was not meet that they should
witness magic In the making. They
then squatted in the clay court and
~cur1ously waited for her to begin.
There was a well in the inner shrine.
10 this h went with caution. The
hon was evidently foraging in the jun
gle kathlyn filled the copper vessel
with water and returned. Next, she
gathered up what pieces of the idol
she could find and pieced them to
gether- Here vas her model. She
h approached one of the fakirs and
signifed that she had need of his
knife. He demurred at first, but at
length consented to part with it. She
dug up a square piece of clay. In fine,
she felt more like the kathlyn of old
than she had since completing the
leopard in her outdoor studio. 1t oc-
cupied her thoughts, at least part of
them, for she realized that mayhap
her life depended upon her skill in
reproducing the hideous idol.
AS the two dc hypocrites saw the
clay take form and shape N the
hooking ace gradually appear, they
were assured that Kathlyn was in
deed the ancient priestess; and deep
down in their souls they experienced
something Of the awe they had often
inspired in the poor trusting ryot.
kathlyn had talent bordering on
genius. The dol was an exact replica
of the originl one more, there was a
subtle beauty now where before there
had been a frank responsiveness. 1t
satisfied the holy men. and the I'M
yelling was greeted by the villagers
with such Joy that kathlyn forgave
them and could have wept over them.
She had made a god for them. and
they fell down and w%orshiped it.
Five more days passed. On the af-
ternoon of the fifth day Kathlyn was
feeding the fire. The holy men sat in
the court at their devotions. Kathlyn
turned from the fire to see them rise
and flee in terror. She in turn fled,
for the lion stood between her and the
sarcophagus! The lion paused, lash
ing his tail. The many recent commo-
tons within and without the temple
had finally reused his ire. He hest
tated between the holy men and Kath-
Ign, and finally concluded that she in
the fiuttering robes would be the most
desirable.
There was no particular hurry; be-
sides, he was not hungry. The cat in
him wanted to play. He loped after
Kathlyn easily, At any time he chose
a few swift pounds would bring him
to her side.
Beyond the temple lay the same
stream by which, miles away, Kathlyr
had seen the funeral pyre and about
which she had had so weird a fantasy
If this stream was deep there was a
chance for life.

lambs may be allowed to run in the
field till they are sold, or brought in
for winter shelter.
Where one has lambs to turn into
the cornfield they will not only make
use of the blades of corn which are
usually wasted, but they will keep
down the weeds that are invariably
springing up after corn blowing is
over, thus seeding the field to the pest
for the following season.
The MANURE dropped by the lambs
will also be scattered around over the
fields, thereby fertilizing the land with
out the usual time and labor expended
in hauling and spreading the manure.
Another advantage in pasturing the
cornfeld after cultivation is ended Is
that it will be much easier to get
through the corn at gathering time,
and the ears will be the more exposed
to view.

hunters who owned the raft were at
this moment swinging along toward
the temple. On the shoulders OF two
rested a pole from which dangled the
~lifeless body of a newly killed leopard
They were bringing it in as a gift to
the headman of the village, who was
a thoroughgoing Mohammedan, and
who held in contempt Hinduism and

The white priestess was indeed a

water was not possible for any beast
