THE EDUCATION OF LIFE.


What is life's goal anyway Is it
money, that may be taken over night?
Is it honor that comes from the ever
changing populace? Is it fame that
may laud one to the skies today and
tomorrow drag in the dust? Surely
no person is better fitted to answer
these queries than one who has been
through the mill and knows. Horace
Greeley. an eminent journalist and
politician, said on his dying bed;
"Fame is a vapOr, popularity an ac-
cident, riches take wings, those who
cheer today may curse tomorrow;
only ONE THING ENDuREs -CHARAC-
TER.
We must all learn sooner or latter
that 1.-The education of life comes by
sorrows, by disappointments and by
failures" And some of us have learn
ed to our advantage that the lessons
which are hardest to master and the
bitterest medicine to swallow and in
wardly digest have in all cases been
the character builders.
There are temptations that throng
men who have risen to certain heights
and have won the favor of their fell
lows. often wonder how many Off
GERS and other servants of public trust
really realize the meaning of their OBJ

When Grover Cleveland was being
elected governor of New York state
in 1892, he wrote to his brother the
following: Il have just voted and
sit here in the Office alone. If mother
were living should be writing to her
and feel as if it were time for me to
write TO some one who will believe
what | write. The thought that has
troubled me is: Can | perform my
duties in such manner as TO do some
good to the people of the state? l
know that | am sincere and honest in
my desire to do well, but the question
is whether know enough to accom-
plish what l desire. -
However well he succeeded histoI-
ians will tell. After he had served as
governor and as president, an emin-
ent journalist said of him: Il think
he was as nearly capable of giving up
the Presidency TO maintain his con-
victions as any man who ever filled
the position. In the name of the
all-wise Judge and common humanity
NAV our newly elected officers be
faithful to the public trust we give
them.

first reached the realm Of the Aztecs,
Montezuma entertained him with roy

viands set before the Spanish invaders
was roasted turkey. 1t was found that
the Aztecs had domesticated the fowl
to quite an extent and that 1t was also
plentiful In its wild state.
North OF the Rio Grande the bird
was equally well known, and the ad-
yenturous Coronado found 1t among
the cliff dwelling Indians and other
tribes he met on his expedition through
what is now Texas. Arizona and New
Mexico. The Zuni Indians seem to
have known Of the turkey for centu-

Adam and Eve !.
Held B|an1e|ess
Noah Was Cause Of Fail Of Man, hc.
eordins to Translation Of
Old Tablet

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. Sit was
not Adam and Eve who brought
the fall Of man, but Noah, according
to translation of a tablet now in
the university of Pennsylvania mu-
scum. An announcement to this eff
feet was made today by a represen-
tative of the museum.
According to the Sumer'an theol-
ogy found on the tablet which is
said to have been written before the
days of Abraham and translated by
DR.. Steven Langdon, professor of AS
syriology in Oxford university Eng
land, Noah was ordered not to eat Of
the Cassia tree in the garden of par
adise and when he disobeyed the
curse fell upon him.
TIL curse was that he should have
Ill health and an early death instead
of living to be 10000 years old like
his ancestors.
According to the announcement
made today Dr. Langdon bestowed
much labor on the subject of the fall
of man, not only in translating the
tablet, but in comparing 1t with ev.
cry known tablet or historical account
given in the book of Genesis.
DR.. Langdon, according to the an.
nouncement, says this tablet is at
least thousand years older than
the Genes account, and so far as is
known, is the oldest record of the
sort in existence. The tablet was
written more than 1000 years ago
possibly 5000 years, and evidently
records a tradition which goes back
to the early history of man. The
Babylonian and Sumerian accounts
place the food at something like 49,.
600 b. c. and the lapse of time be-
tween the creation and the flood is
filed by ten kings who reigned alto
gether $4,000 years, an average OF
1920 years each. The reason tina,
later kings, reigned comparativel,

RULES FOR TABLE MANNERS

Gelett Burgess writing The Max
inns of Japhet, presents the follow.
ing rules for table manners:
My son, when thou sittest at meat
with a damsel, have a care how thou
eatest, lest thou offend her.
For this is the test of love: what.
soever goeth into thy mouth and
cometh out again, the same shall try
her as with fire.
And of these things shalt thou
have a care; of the apple, and the or,
ange, and the peach. and fruits with
skins after their kind.
The cherry and the plum and the
olive and the apricot, and fruits with
stones after their kind.
The grape and the raspberry and
the watermelon and fruits with seeds
after their kind, of all these things
shalt thou have a care.
And whatsoever hath seeds or
skins or stones, that thou spewest
out of thy mouth, these shall be an
abominat on unto her, unless she
love thee.
Thou shalt not help her on with
her wrap whilst thou hast a cigar in
thy teeth; II Is abomination.
Neither shalt thou pick thy teeth
behind thy napkin; It is abomina
ton of abom nations.
And II thou cuttest thy potato oil
any vegetable with a knife, thou shalt
be cast out into utter darkness.
For she smileth with her lips and
sayeth pleasant things; yet doth hel
eye watch thee, and her foot tappetl
the floor. 1t is the end of love.

HOW ROSIE FAILED

Rosie was lovely COW. She had
no particular breeding, but she was
nice to look at; had kind and gen
tie disposit on; and gave such a
quantity of milk.
"My!" her fortunate owner used to
say, What a pity we cannot get
more COWS like Rosie!"
One day a gentleman with the
Herd Testing Association came along
and suggested to the dairyman who
owned Rosie, that he should join the
Testing Association. He expla ned
the benefit to be derived from so do
ing, and his listener was so impress
ed that he decided there and then
to become a member.
WI en- he received the first resul
of the testing of his herd he called
the tester all the bad names that he
could think of, and some which can
not be found even in the dictionary.
Then he went to a friend who is a
firm believer in herd testing, and
repeated the performance-with ex-
tras. The trouble was that Rosie
according to the test, was the worst
COW in the herd. That showed, he
argued how much reliance could be
placed on new tangled notions.
Have you ever tried yer milk for
cream YOURSELF" the progressive
man inquired. or course he had not
but after some persuasion he was in
duced to take a sample of Rosie S
m TX and a sample of the mix from
the COW said by the tester to be the
best in his herd and place them side
by side with view to seeing how
much cream rose on each. The
tester was justified absolutely. Ros
lie was dethroned her milk proved
to be mainly water.
Rosie brought good price when
she was sold to the butcher. There
was a little satisfaction in that.
1t does not pay to keep cows that
show low butterfat test, even the
they look nice and have kind dispo
sitions. 1t might be right enough II
their milk was sold in half pint lots
to the general public, but even then
the public, long suffering though II
be, prefers rich milk to poor milk
every time. For sending to the fac
tory, as local dairymen have to do
there can be no question at all about
II.
Think of the hours spent by Ros
les owner in milking-water!

DO AWAY WITH
THE SWllL BARRELS

The swill barrel should he watched
carefully. If neglected it may be-
come the dwelling place of a variety
of stenches to say nothing of an as
sortment of undesirable odors. The
stuff that comes out of many sw'll
barrels is not really liked by the hog,
but the hog has a great appetite and
in order to satisfy its cravings Will
often gIlp down the most offensive
food. If the brood SOW could speak
and tell us what she really thirais
about II, and of the great demand
that is made upon her by the litter
of pigs, forcing her TO do things she
really does not want to, there would
be a reformation.
Many people have the 'dea that the
souring Of the swil in some way or
other adds to the palatability IF the
food, II indeed, 1t does not increase
the digestibility and nutritive value.
OF course this last is utter nonsense.
Any muir ment cannot be put in food
by starting a process of decay. All
kinds of fermentation, whether in the
silo or the stack or the swill barrel!
necessarily means greater or less
loss Of nutrients.
There is no necessity for the i'll
smelling swill Darrell Not a few
farmers get into the habit of keeping
an extensively sour sw,ll barrel be
, cause they think that soaking the
grain improves its digestibility. This
is perhaps true and in warm weather
little acid is no doubt as grateful
to the hog as it Is to the farmers
wife or daughter who Graves pickle {
and salads, or to the farmer himself
who likes strawberries or cherries
and other acid fruits. There is nc
good reason, however, why acldity
should end in corruption, for that Is
what the ill-smelling sw.ll barre
means.
/ 1t Is a good thing to soak hard corr
for hogs in hot weather, but there
are different ways of soaking II. II
the amount of corn that is to be fed
in the evening is put to soak in the
morning, being merely moistened SC
as to swell the grains, then at noon
the barrel filled up with cold water
and 1t is fed out clean at night, one
will never have an ill-smellng swil
barrel. The sprinkling of a small
amount of water in the morning will
swell the grains, the addition of cold
water will arrest the souring, and the
hogs VII have a palatable feed thai
evening not only palatable, but nu
tritious and healthful. There will
be no more acidity than the appetite
Of the hog requires. When acidity
goes beyond a certain point deca!
begins, with a very serious loss o
feeding value. The Guide.

HOW TO WASH cHAMols

To wash chamois use lukewarm wa

added. Rub chamois well with soap
and wash as you would any other MA

the hands and pull into shape be-
