ruin was one OF the best things said
by the late Charles Augustus Ward

dispose of the prosperous wine bust

father.
One of his hobbies was cook books !:

just inherited small fortune from
his sister His collection of 800
volumes has gone to the London Ii

Bome Anachronlsms.

It is question, parenthetically. whether 1t is truly sportsmanlike to live in a quaint 0ld colonial cottage with furnace end electric lights. l have heard amateurs of the colonial declare that they would willingly die before they would live in an electrically lighted colonial cottage. The anach' ronism horrifles them: they would nave death or candles. Probably they feel the same way about furnace and a bathroom. Yet have no doubt that the builders of this colonial cottage would have opened their hearts to all these inventions; and l am not sure taat they would have regarded as anything but funny the idea that their own kitchen paraphernalia would some day be:,used to. decorate my dining room .}s1 go further. Granting that electric light, furnace, and g. bath. room are anachronisms in this quaint old colonial cottage-what am but an anachronism myself? We must stand together, the furnace, the cleo. trtc meter, the porcelain bathtub, and !, and keep each other in countanance -Vropo the Atlantic.

COTTON CROP PROSPECTS.

The United States department oi agriculture estimates that this years cotton crop will be about 11,970,OQO bales, as compared with a 16,000,0O million bale crop last year.
 Despite the war, there is strong probability that the demand for cot tor will be sufficient to absorb all of this years crop, and that prices will be good, unless the crop is rushed to market
 The farmers who planted enough hay, grain, meat and vegetables to supply their own needs, and maybe 3 bit over, will be the ones who will have, money in the bank at the end O. the farming season.
 The bankers have expressed Will ingness to aid the farmer to hold his cotton by extending loans, but this assistance cannot be accepted by the man who disposed of his crop before it was made. The farmer who eats his cotton before it is picked can be helped by no one except himself.

Hsnpiress \ Duty,

The better we understand life, tho mere we come to the realization of the fact that happiness is duty. It sig uifies that we are working in harmony with the laws of our being. It is one of the concomitants Of righteousness. Righteousness in it's last analysis will be found to be living in right relations with the laws of our being and with the laws of the universe about us This attitude, this habit of happiness is also benefit to others. As cheer fulness induces cheerfu.uess in others so happiness inspires and induces hap. piness. We communicate this condt tion to thoso about us. It's effects come back in turn from them to us again, As anger inspires anger. as iove and sympathy inspire love and sympathy i1 others. each of It's kind. SO cheerfulness and happiness inspire the samt n others.-Ralph Waldo Urine

Lifesavers have been called from the stations of Lake Erie, and firemen and policemen un- der the direction of Mayor Sterne are paking every effort for the rescue of the imperiled and the comfort of the homeless.
 Three hundred flood sufferers are housed in the National Guard arm ory. Little children who have been separated from parents and parents frantically searching for children are huddled together in a pitiable plight.
 About 200 persons are housed ln the city rescue mission, and hospitals and other charitable institutions have opened their doors.
 It was estimated that two thousand persons are homeless. Boats are be- ing used, but as yet none has been able to penetrate the center of the flooded district because of the rush of water that is running at high pres sure.

Pike Shooting In Scotland.

The killing of g fish by sword by . lieutenant of the Royal Engineers receives much publicity. It may not have been hard to do, for pike often move sluggishly, and on fine warm days they have habit of basking on the surface. In Scotland people shoot pike regularly, the corpses being brought ashore by retriever dogs But in Scotland they shoot several things that in England We kill in other ways, Foxes, for .example.-London Chron iclA ;.

 ROSPERITY
THE RIGHT OF ABUSE.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal .aiks straight from the shoulder to these partisians of the kaiser, who, safe under the Stars and Stripes" i" persist in speaking ill of the govern ment that shields them, because that government doss not act to the kaissr's advantage. An article in the Commercial Appeal of Tuesday says:
 On Sunday in San Francisco, pr. C. J. Hexsmer of philadelphia, 'presi- dent of the National German-Amer- ican Alliance, had this to say on the conduct of the United States:
 Il must say I have not been proud of my country lately. A nation which prays for peace on Sundays and SUD- plies England with arms and ammu- milton all the rest of the week, Is to say the least. hypocritical.
 q must confess that l, as na- tive-born American, am nauseated by the likspittle policy of our country English ships patrol our waters. Eng land forbids us to buy ships and to trade with neutral nations as we would like; England cuts the cables leading from our shores to those ol a friendly nation, and England de cides for our secretary of state wha' news he shall impart to American citizens. From ,the way war reports road, we might just as well tear ul the Declaration of Independence and become loyal subjects of Klns George"
 Ut is "a fine thing for Dr. Hexame1 that he is German-Amerlcan ln- stead of an American-Ge in Ger many. Under our splendid American institutions, which can be enjoyed bl the unworthy as we'll as the worthy pr. Hexamer has perfect liberty ol speech. He can say anything he de- sires, no matter how foolish or nov untrue. He can boast of his lack ol patriotism; he can set German! above America, and still he can e on his way rejoicing because nobod! will attempt to interfere with m right to three square meals a day ant a bed in which to sleep. But If al American German in Germany were 10 say about the empire what pr Hexamer says about the United States, before the last word were ou of his mouth a police officer would grab him and he would be escorted between verboten signs to jail. H' would not get "a trial before judge In these times it would be a mllltar! trial, and pr. Hexamer, or any othe' hammer thrower, would get about slA months in jail twice a year.
 Ridder, the editor of the Staats Zeitung in Chicago, pr. Hexamer an' all the other pro-Gernan, anti-Wil son German-Americans surely ougn to be glad that they are in this coun- try, because they can talk to thell hearts content about Wilson ant about the government and about any thing elsa they don't like and yet re- main out of jail.
 It is one of the glories Of tn spirit of American liberty that ll' protection is over the worthy as wei as the unworthy and over the dis loyal as we'll as the loyal in speech. loyal in speech.
