 R0SpERITY.
1NDlSCRIMINATE CHARITY.

Giving in the wrong manner is nearly as bad as being entirely too hard hearted to give at all.
 The Bible has told us that we will always have the poor with us, and it is as true. today as during the time dimmed age when such was written. It is not the deserving poor however, against whom there should be a crusade of giving, but that army of fakes, who pose to us as the poor, the halt, the mained and physically deficient, in various ways. Against this class there should be drawn strict line for every time an unde- serving person receives, it in sense robs a deserving person of something which should have come to them.
 When a man comes to a back door and puts up hard luck story to housewife it is hard we know to re- fuse to give him something to eat or something to aid him along. In her sympathy. for the supposed un- fortunate she overlOoks the fact that he is strong physically, and fails to calculate in many instances the only thing wrong with him is decided aversion to mopping beads of sweat off the brow on warm day, or tackling the cold in win:er.
 In the necessary narrow sphere of one homo or of many homes. it is impossible to tell just who is worthy and who is not. Many defend their giving to all who come with the comforting thought that although many may have been imposters some were not, and it is better to have given to many unworthy than to have refused one just claim for aid.
 In our latter day march toward progress, however, we have come upon a good solution of the veXing charity situation. The various charity associations, however they may he named, are systematically relieving us of our worries in this way. Those who make systematic charity ar every day study, who come to know whom to give to and whom to re fuse, are equipped to carry on thell work, it is their business. They ar' being schooled in this every day New situations are constantly being encountered. And each one of thes' gives the organized charity worker better insight into the work.
 A splendid way to learn whethe person really deserves aid is t refer such person who begs to tn associated or united charities, wher such exists. If the person is reall in earnest and is deserving, there i no hesitancy in taking advantage o this. If the person is an impostel there is desire to go nearly any where else save organized charity Imposters know that they can fot the average person who does nc have time to consider such matter' but cannot fool charity workers.
 If all the money that is given ar nually to those who are not In tn least entitled to aid, were lumpe into one sum, it would reach stai gering figure. Doubtless it would | sum sufficient, added to what tr poor and needy really receive, care for them in a, much better mai ner.
 The best manner up to the prese1 time to solve the charity and begglr question is to give what one intent to donate to charity, to an organlz tisn and let such be systematical distributed. In this manner good wi be done and there will be no was.

The ground on which L raised my

pers got it early leaving the ground
idle until this spring. In the middle
of April double disked the ground
with the disk in the last notch. That
made the ground loose for about five
inches in depth and killed all the
weeds.
l got my seed from NJ. G. Williams
and tested it by the rules from a
bulletin that 1 got from the Agricul-
tural College at Manhattan. 1t tested
98.6 per cent. The variety is white
corn.
My acre of corn is rectange being
81 rods long and 2 rods and feet
wide. A wheat field lay on the west,
and creek on the east and corn fields
both on the north and south Sides 1t

up again with harrow. This made
the ground level. Now the corn was
from 10 to II inches in heighth.

corn being then about waist high.

There is one eventful day in Octo-

The young people of Collyer took ad-
vantage of that day to plan q Hal

only planned but carried out to its
fullest extent.
At dusk about fifty young people
gathered in front of the post ONCE

Mr.. Morrell, showed their kindness
by coming up with teams, wagon and
a hay-rack to convey us to our destf-
nation. On the way we passed our
time by singing, stump speeches and
laughter. Finally, aided by the good
judgment of the driver, we selected a
site in the grove south of Mr.. Kess-
ler's.
Soon big bonfire was blazing and
each of us were roasting and toasting
wennie and marsh mallows After
the big supper was Overland that
was not soon-preparation were made
for the return. Few of the intellect
ually inclined ladies and gentlemen
preferred walking maybe because of
sympathy for the team but probably
for their own pleasure-if anyone can
find pleasure in walking over a field
of Russian thistles.
This was the first Halloween frolic
the young people of Collyer have ever
had. 1t will be remembered by one
and all and we appreciate Professor
Frye's effort in planning this grand
occasion for US.

tie Of the Nations" which ended Na,

rope. At the same time the American
Electric Railways association was
holding its annual meeting at Atlantic
City. This body represents the en-.

number about equal to that Of the
allied forces at Leipsic. These work,
ers are trained and exercised daily in
i.eadiness, industry, efficiency; In the
instant recognition Of fact and skilful
response to the call of duty. BY these
things they live and, 30 doing, they
play great part In the life Of their
time. The resulting spirit of help
fulness is proved by the action taken
for pensions, insurance and profit
sharing. In comparison with this

Numerous Instances In History Where
Men Of intellect Were Notorious for
Their Forgetfulness-Humor-
Gus Case In Court.

During the course OF recent trial
instituted for the purpose of deciding
whether an aged millionaire had need
OF guardian to administer his affairs.
one Of the principal arguments sup
porting the charge Of incompetency
related to defective memory. Tie is.
sue is full OF human interest and can.
be discussed as a psychological prob
lem quite apart from the legal merits
OF this particular case.
Fate was surely in her most ironi-
cal mood when she tempted an alien
ist to testify that the octogenarian
must be incompetent because of a
FAULTY recollection of the court pro-
ceedings, and then forced the special
ist to confess that he could not re-
member a question which had been
asked him only a few minutes before.
Hoist with him own petard, the expert
cut an amusing figure, but his profit
from the striking lesson should out
weigh all the personal discontinue to
which he was subjected.
There are few fallacies more gen.
orally entertained than the theory
that memory. Is an index to mental ca
pacity. While 1t is true that an ut
ter inability to recall anything out
side OF the fixed idea is a sign of In
sanity, 1t Is equally true that many
men who have made their mark in the
world have notoriously bad memories.
That is to say, they are remarkable
for the things they forget, but 1t will
usually be found that theirs is the
treasure Of selective memory re-
tanning only what is useful for present
purposes. i.
A distinguished politician, also
something Of wag, said that he owed
his success to an aptitude for forget
ting everything, including promises
and convictions, but excepting names
and faces.
On the other hand there are count
less instances of men with phenome-
nal memories who scarcely knew
enough to come in out of the wet.
They are literally peripatetic ency.

AS French philosopher observed,

the magnitude of his army, but in pro.
portion to his command Of the army

disorganized ideas, but the smaller
numbtr we'll arranged that usually

In othr- words, success in life. to
say nothing of mere competency In
the legal sense, is not matter of
memory. 1t Is the judiciously selec-
tive rather than the Unfortunately
retentive brain that counts in the bat,
tie Of life. Some few men have had
prodigious memories which were not
developed at the expense of the res,
soning processes, but as a rule the
law Of compensation holds. and too
much intellectual fat means too little
intellectual muscles.
