the highest grade in his profession that of university
professor and from then until the present he has been
active professor of philosophy and ethics.
LIE was literally carried into his volunteer activities
in the of 1873, when, at twenty-five. he re-
turned from his European studies and spent summer
sizzling New York Not content with books and the
interests of the scholar his leisure hours he found
himself gravitatng toward the streets Of the East Side,

the misery of poverty, and how these people were
dlled and submerged by lack of the commones neces-
sites of food and drink, SHELTER clothing, light, and

people just the in streets OF brownstone

work that makes useful in the world. He
that not even the most precious abilities were being
trained in this way, and boys of exceptional
talents ground down by the sweatshop the factory,

they forced to take, with genius often defeated

chancs and artisans, but to every boy in the school,

An army of unemployed men, more

sat in the great hall of Madison
Square Garden one dreary November night
in 1897 Times were worse than men could
remember. The unemployed, who, at the
beginning of these evil times, had been
hopeless and later had become despair
ing, were now, as the pangs of hunger
pinched them, truculent. One speaker
with his words, and then another, had
failed in attempt even to fill the vast. hall,
let alone their bitter hearts. Angrily these
cd instead of bread.
Then, as if to light the fuse to the
tinder, the chairman of the meeting
brought forward DR. Adler and intro
duced him to the people as "the friend of
the workingman." Hoots and groans
shook the hall, and the little platform
rose like an island in the midst of this
sea of angry faces How often from pol
iticians and false leaders they had heard
that phrase,-a friend of the workingman!
DR.. Adler, wiry man of commanding
air, stepped forward. 1t was difficult to
see how he could possibly arise to such an
occasion after such an introduction. First
he told them that he knew how they felt
about anyone who was called "a friend of
the workingman," and then he slashed
into his subject, hitting straight from the
shoulder with the vital argument: not vio-
lence or revenge, not anarchy or hatred,
would serve them, but self-help and work
alone. No one could have appealed sue
cessfully to these men in this manner had
he not first won their hearts At the end
of DIR. Adler's talk they left the hall. The
violence that short while before seemed
almost certain was now out of the question.

LINES IN MEMORY OF
MRS. MARGARET cLAG0ETT

The robin from the twilight calls
It's aforementioned lore,
And through the frs the whisper falls
That Margaret is no more.
While leaf and bloom were at their best
And left no room for tears,
She chose the hour to take her rest
The twilight of her years.
And there, amid the trees and lawns
She shaped to beautys mold.
Through all the old industrious dawns
And all the winters cold,
With all her handiwork in flower
In quietude and calm,
She found at last the golden dover,
The universal balm.
We weep for her whowould not grieve1
And yet full well we know,
Albeit she was loath to leave
She was full fam to go
At dawn and noon, it so befell,
She chung to life the more,
But still at evening felt the spell
Of those that went before.
We weep for her; and yet the voice
We loved, would bid us sing,
And in the thrilling chance rejoice
At what the years may bring.
We weep for her; and yet the brand
That kept her path a-light,
We bear, and pass from hand to hand
Because she made it bright.

We live not to the year alone,
Nor yet unto the hour;
The yesterdays are all our own,
Tomorrow is our dover.
We rummage the receding past
With hands that yearn and grope,
And still into the future cast
Sweet ecstasies of hope.
And SO with her, whose glance was long,
Whose heart was warm and glad;
She touched the matron's lips to song
BY lifting up the lad.
She knew the heart of youth; she knew
How narrowed souls aspire,
And kept full many toiler true
To the celestial fire.
And when the switching angels sped
Her soul and set it free,
How many good man paused and said,
She has been kind to mel"

Of earth, nor yet on high,
Can such moving memory fade,
Nor such spirit die

SAYS F. H. Scribner, who %ill be

Of these famous dairymen have
built up noted herds by raising
we'll their heifer calves.

too. Such as poor breeding. care
less management, diseases. etc.
Everyone of these conditions can
be avoided by raising your own
heifers.
There are several reasons d
vanced for NOT growing tt cir
calves. Some say it is too expen-
siye. others that they need n
cash. and still others that it s
foo uncertain a method to build
up a herd.
All three arguments are being
successfully met by scores OF
Wisconsin dairymen. h ey flnd
that a calf, given proper care ana
attention requires a small outlay
of cash. She is raised almost en-
tirely on a by7product OF the
dairy--skim milk--and s m I'll
amount of hay and grain. Year
ling heifers develop rapidly when
placed in a good shady pasture
and given little grain. Keep
them free from lice, and the ex-
pense is really very small. Even
if all the milk is sold to; a cheese

calves can be raised on commerce.
al feeds, blood meal being among
the best.
An instance that occurred right
here in Wisconsin is good proof
OF the wisdom of raising your own
calves. A farmer agreed to Il his
son raise any heifer he desired.
after the farmer himself had made
his selection. Out Of a bunch OF
19 calves the farmer picked five
and the son chose II of those re-
manning. At the end Of three years
four of the heifers which the far
mer selected were profitable pro-
ducers and ten out of the twelve
raised by the son were equally as
good. Every calf was sired by a
pure bred bull. This is not an
exceptional case, but rather a
quite general rule where good
bulls and proper management are
made use of. There is no doubt
that the uncertainty of developing
good herds is largely overcome by
raising the heifers.
The 'ready cash" argument is
popular with many farmers. This
olive Stock Special" which the
Wiscon in Liv S o c k Breeders
Association is maintaining is for
the purpose of helping, wherever
it can, to raise"More and Better
Live Stock" Good live stock
means more ready cash. The men
who will accompany this train
have learned, by experience, some
valuable things about live stock.
Plan to hear them and it may then
be unnecessary to veal the heifer
calves for ready cash. The speci-
al will visit River Falls, June o..
