The same old question of market
ling is now pinching the wheat grow
ers. They have raised bumper crop
and although the word needs every
bushel Of it just as much as at any
time, in many places il IS selling at
sixty cents. Under this condition IL
would be more profitable for him If
he had raised only half a crop at
s1.00 per bushel. The farmer cannot
pnofitably grow wheat one year after
another for less than Sl.00. Until he
learns 10 supply the consumer as he
needs il, he must sell at loss.

WHAT BRINGS HAPPINESS?

If you, my reader, are happy, it is not
because you have fine house TO live in =,
a handsome hat to wear, an elegant dress
to appear in, and a splendid equipage
And you are unhappy. if so. not because
your house is plain, your attire mean
and YOU must evermore go afoot. Not
in these mere externals does happiness
consist. A man may have everything
that heart can wish for, and yet exclaim
with Solomon: "All is vanity and vexa-
ton. of spirit Or he may. like Saint
Paul, having nothing, yet possess all
things" We do not mean to say that a
commodious, well furnished house is not
desirable, that suitable and abundant
clorhing is not to be sought, or that the
elegancies of life may not promote ones
enjoyments but we do say that if the
root of the matter is not in ones heart,
if he is not in himself essentially cheer
ful, Contented man, these surroundings
will not make him So He will become
accustomed to them. and regard them as
a matter of course, like the air that we
breathe, the rain and the sunshine; but
we have Solomon's word for it, that one
never becomes ACCUSTOMED in any but
the best sense to contented mind. 1t
is. says the royal epicure, a continual
feast.

the GREAT hvENr or DEATH.

Men seldom think of the great event
of death until the shadow falls across
their own path, hiding forever from their
eyes the traces of the loved ones whose
! living smiles were the very sunlight of
their existence. Death is the great antag-
onist of life, and the cold thought of the
tomb is the skeleton Of all feasts We do
not want TO go through the dark valley
although the passages may lead to para
| disc; and, with Charles Lamb, we do not
want to lie down i'll muddy graves. even
with kings and princes for our beG fell
| lows.
| But the fiat of nature is inexorable
There is no appeal of reIiet from the
great law which dooms us to dust We
| flourish and we fade away as the
leaves of the forest, and the flower that
| blooms and withers in day, has not a
| Trailer hold upon life than the mightest
monarch that ever shook the earth with
| his footsteps. Generations of men ap-
pear and vanish as the grass, and the
| flowers, and the countless multitude that
throngs the world today, will, tomorrow,
disappear at the footsteps on the shore,
In the beautiful drama of Ion, the in.
stinct of Immortality, so eloquently ut
| tered by the death devoted Greek, finds
a deep response in every thoughtful soul.
When about to yield his young existence
as a sacrifice to fate, his beloved Gle
mantle asks if they shall not meet
again to which he replies; Il have asked
that dreadful question of the hills that
look eternal-of the clear streams that
flows forever-of the stars among whose
field of azure my raised spirit hath often
walked in glory. All were dumb But
while gaze upon thy living face, feel
that there is something in the love that
mantles through its beauty can not
wholly perish. We shall meet again

The Board Of Charities and Cor
rections Reappoint Themselves.

rect1OnS ReappO1nt Themselves.
On Tuesday last, February 10th. the
Board Of Charities and Corrections,
whose term had expired, met and reor-
ganiZed.
The action Of the self appointed board
caused some amazement. and their ac-
ton in holding their positins is very
much criticised. They reappointed Mr..
Gregg as Superintendent OF Montevue
Hospital and his wife, Mrs. Lilly Gregg,
as Matron, as well as all of the other
officials
Opinions as to the law has been freely
given by the attorneys representing the
two boards, and the incident will most
likely adjusted by the court at the re-
quest of the Board of County Commits
sioners
The Act OF 1898 provides for the ap-
polntmhnt of a Board of Charities and
Corrections for term of two years, to
hold office from the second Monday in
February, and until their successors
are appointed and qualified"
The language last quoted gives the
County Commissioners the discretion to
make appointments either on the second
Monday IN February or at any reasona-
BILE time thereafter 1t is stated. there
fore, that the Commissioners were within
the law in falling to appoint a new Board
OF Charities and Correction on the 9th of
February, which was the second Monday
IN the month, especially in view of the
fact that bill to abolish the board en-
tirely was in fair way to be passed.
Other authorities hold that the Ian
guage of the tenth clause of Chapter <
OF the Acts of 1898, ''thev shall within
one month after their appointment and
qualification, appoint some suitable per-
son to be overseer of the almshouse, 9"
restricts the making Of the Montevue ap-
polhtments to a Board Of Charities and
Correction that has been appointed"
within the meaning OF the law 1t is
claimed that this does not mean "selt-
appointed"
The attorneys for the Board of Chari-
ties and Correction hold that to abolish
that body will mean a loss to the county
OF SIC, ,6e6. 81, representing the sum oftwo
appropriations. one for Sc, 6o6.S2 and an
other for $40, ooo-the latter under a
statute re-enacted only few days ago.
Their contention is based on the language
OF the appropriation acts which makes
these appropriations payable only to the
Commissioners of Charities and Correc-
ton OF Frederick county. If these Com
missioners are abolished, they claim, this
appropriation would be payable to no
one.
On the other hand, it is contended that
the Commissioners of Charities and
Corrections are named IN this act only as
agents for the Montevue institution, and
that if that agency is abolished, and the
same. power is given TO the Board of
County Commissioners. then the County
Commissioners will be entitled to receive
the appropriation. AT any rate, it is de-
clared, that nothing more than an
| amendment of that appropriation act
would be required.

OPENED UP WESTERN CANADA
Prince Rupert, Famous Soldier, Was
First Governor of the Hudson's
Bay Company.

Six years from this month will mark
the tercentenary of the birth of Prince
Rupert, the great English military of.
ficer whose name is forever associated
with western Canada by reason of the
fact that he was one of the organ
izers and the first governor of the
Hudson's Bay company. The terri
tories of the company, now the west
en- provinces of the dominion. were
long called Rupert's land in honor of
the prince. Rupert was the third son
of Frederick V. of Bohemia and Eliz-
abeth, sister of Charles l. of England.
He was noted for his reckless bravery
in battle, which he first displayed on
the continent. He then went to Eng
land to assist his uncle, Charles l.,
and in 1913 was made admiral of the
English fleet. After the restoration he
was made lord high admiral and fought
against the Dutch. His later years
were largely devoted to scientific study
and to the affairs of the Hudson's Bay
company. Charles II. granted a char
ter to Rupert and II other mobiles and
gentlemen, incorporated them as the
Governor and company of adventur-
ers of England trading into Hudson's
bay" The part played by this COM
pany in the development of the west
constitutes one of the many romantic
chapters in the history of the North
American continent.

MAKING HOME HAPPY.

The husband has something to do to
make his home happy one, as well as
the wife. When she tries so hard to
please the one that she loves best of all
in the whole wide world-the one that
she Clings to, though she must leave
father, mother, brothers and sisters and
many loving friends for his sake, and
perhaps endure hardships never before
thought of-what harm will it do him if
he some times gives her the proper need
OF praise? A married woman loves the
attention of her husband Just as well as
the young lady does her lover; and If she
is true wife she certainly is just as de-
| serving OF IT, And if all wives receive
this kindly sympathy which is truly their
right, there would he fewer sorrowing
hearts and sad faces in the world than
there are now.
There are some old men and women
whose souls have ripened and sweetened.
even under the chilling winds of advers-
| ity. Those whom they loved have been
taken from them; that which they most
ardently desired has been denied them;
| that which they would not have chosen
has been laid upon them, and out of it all
| they have extracted sweetness, patience
and strength. These qualities draw to
| them the weak and the sorrowfuI, whom
| they send away with samething OF that
refreshment which the aling must have
felt who followed Christ when he laid
his hand upon them.

Of the bones of contention.

WASN'T ENTITLED TO MEDAL
President of Anti-crueIty Society
Made Decision Positively Brutal
in Its Frankness.

"Mrs. Waldorf Astor at the port Of
New York declared the other day that
she never wore aigrettes or the feath-
ers of song birds, or the plumes Of
anything that flies. Yet she was wear
ing sables at the time; her boots were
of calfskin; her gloves were kid, and
she would go to the Ritz-Carlton for
luncheon and swallow tiny, living oys-
ters, afterward eating young trout,
outlets of lamb, grilled quail and so
forth and SO on. Oh, consistency"
The speaker was DR.. L. G.. Wither-
spoon, the San Francisco dietician.
He continued:
Man is cruel toward the animals.
There is no denying it. And hence

to prate Of her kindness as regards
aigrettes when, on her behalf, we
slaughter daily birds and sheep, sables
and seals, fish and kids.
