Don't fail to read this incident
in the life of Jean Vatican after
he has won the battle for the re-
spect that is accorded TO a MAN
among men:
"One day he came upon some
country folk very busy pulling up
nettles; he looked at the heap Of
Mo - yl,r
wilted, and said:
This is DEAD, but It would
be well if we kIew how to put it
to some USE. When the nettle is
young. the leaves make excellent
greens; when it told, it has fla
ments and fibers like hemp and
flax
Men Are Like Nettle.
Cloth made from the nettl,
is worth as much as that madN
from hemp. Chopped up tho
nettle is good for poultry; pound
ed. ii is good for horned cattle
The seed of the Kettle mixed witt
the fodder of animals gives a lUs'
ter to their skin; the root miXei
with salt gives a beautiful dye
If makes, moreover, excellent
hay. and it can be cut twice in
season. And what does the net
tie need? Very little soil. no care,
no culture except that the seeds
fall as fast as they ripen and tt is
difficult to gather them; that is
all.
eff we would take a little
pains the nettle would be USE
Full; We neglect it and it be
comes HARMFUL. Then We
KILL IT.
"HOW MUCH MEN ARE
LIKE THE NETTLE!
after short silence, he
added:
My friends, remember this:
That there are no bad herbs and
no bad men; ONLY BAD Gull
TIVATORS."
Mr.. Patterson. Mr. Dawson. Mr..
Rainey, do you believe the idea
of punishment taking precedence
over the idea of reformation could
instil in the mind of a convict
such ideas as THIS?
No. you do not. You can not.
