A Century of Bibles.

Beginning on the 9th OF last May
the American Bible Society will
celebrate its hundredth anniversary
This society was founded May o,
1916, for the purpose OF circulating
the bible, without note or com
ment, in all lands. The success
with which this enterprise has met
is shown by the fact that during
the century of its existence more
than IL .000,n00 copies of the
ISripturss have been distributed i'll
. lone hundred III sixty-nve lang
Iuages. The society has always
sold bibles at cost of printing and
given them to those who are too
spoer to buy.
1'here is perhaps no single in

a greater influence in spread

Are You a
Good Farmer
BY T. II. CASANOVA

There are certain fundamental
nrinciples tina underlie good tar
ming method, or a permanent syS-
tenn of agriculture. Is your farm
getting better each year and bring
inc Won better returns in crop pro-
duction, or are you a miner work
inc in such a manner that your
farm is getting poor and that with
the increased cost of labor you are
producing less per acre each year ?
A miner must change his view
,o;rt 70 make a successful farmer
and if a permanent system OF crop
nroductiod is to make paying re-
turns there must be more raturned
70 the soil than is taken away.
What are you doing with your
brain TO make your land better
v,o,+-, a+e -t iet adding adt each year e
the fertility of your soil there is
something wrong with the system
that you are following and ycu are
not good farmer.
The question>sffen comes, what
can 1 da>o increase the fertility
Of ~ lands Experiences OF the
best farmers proves to us that there
r,r., be a system of rotation on
each part of the field whereby le-
luminous crops can be grown on
every available acre. AT the pres
ent time one passes a farm where
all the corn is planted heavily and
haa : luxurant growth OF pea vines
throughout. With a wlrefence
,eperating this field there is ano'h-
.r farmer with rank growth Oh

farmerI In another instance we
nee a field of corn planted on a
high ridge and it is not cultivated
reoularly and finally when the
,.seds get bad a pair of mules and
a turn plow with a man behind ii
noes in there and cuts all of the
cots off the corn and ends up with

broken roots and the scarcity Of
water there is hardly enough corn

business, but the first essential i:
the intelligence to direct energie:

Yes, old Col. Hartley had quar-

The lawyer shrugged his Shout
ders. James Pyne was an old Indian
acquaintance of the late colonel, and
his friends shocking death had de-
pressed him greatly. The circum-
stances were as follows:
Col. Hartley, living in retirement
near Haverham, with his Indian but
Ter, Ram Gus, had quarreled violent

the girl whom Arthur had subse-
quently married. He had cut him out
Of his will. The will seemed to be
genuine. Even Pyne, after eXamin- |
ing the signature, was compelled to |
accept the general opinion to this |
effect.
But he believed the colonel had |
made another will, that Ram Gus had |
murdered him and stolen it. The
colonel had dropped dead in front of
his great bronze Buddha, eleven feet
high, which occupied one end of his
library. The Buddha was supposed
to bring sudden death to any one
who owned it. The colonel had TAX

PyRe, arriving at the house, found
Ram Gus in full possession. He ex-
planned briefly that he had come to

hnally, This nat cost me some three dol
lars with the trimmings. And if ever
paid more than twenty-five dollars for a
suit, I'd want some one to appoint
guardian for me-"
There certainly was wide margin of
difference here in the estimates made by
two women--a difference not accounted
for, as far as Don could see, in the visible
results. He would have liked to continue
more into details, but Miss Winthrop rose
as if to put an end to this subject.
"I'm hungry" she announced.
Right" he nodded "There's my bas-
ket over there, and I'll let you set the
table,"
HER idea had been that he was to eat
his luncheon and she hers. However,
she had no objection to making things
ready for him. So she brought the basket
over in front of him and opened it. She
gave one look into it,
"Did you buy all this?" she demanded.
"Why, yes" he answered.
She removed the napkin and saw the
cold chicken.
Didn't you know any better, or were
you just trying to see how much money
you could throw away" she inquired.
"Dont you like chicken?"
ayes, like chicken" she answered.
"There are other things underneath,
and hot coffee in the bottles" he an
nOunced.
just to see how far he had gone, she
took out the other things. She caught her
breath.
well, it's your own affair."" she COM
mented. "But, if you eat all this, I'm
sorry for YOU"
She spread napkin before him and
placed the chicken on it, surrounding it
with the tin of sardines, the boxes of
crackers, the jar of marmalade, the cheese,
the confectionery, and other things. Then
she unrolled her own package of sand
wiches, and proceeded to MUNICH one.
"Look here!" he exclaimed. "You
didn't think l bought this all for my
self"
"I'd rather think that than to think
you thought l was silly enough to want
you to throw away your money"
He was carving the chicken, and he
handed her a portion upon one of the
bright aluminium plates. But she shook
her head in refusal.
"You aren't going to have any of this?'

"But you didn't tell me what to get"

"And so we did; but l don't call it
very friendly of you not to share with me-
Il have quite enough of my own"
She seemed determined about the mat
ter, so he put all the things back again in
the basket, closed and fastened the lid,
and, placing it to one side, lighted a fresh
cigarette. She watched him in amazement.
"Aren't you going to eat your lunch?'
she demanded.

said.

I .ETTER from Miss Frances Stuyvesant
~ to Donald Pendleton, ESQ.,:


Paris, France, June 20.
Dear Old Don:
I'm having very good time, Don dear,
Dolly has great many friends in Paris, and
so has Dad, and so has Chic. Between them
all we are very gay. But it is raining to-
day, and somehow I've been worrying about
your being in town with nothing to do but
work. do hope you are taking care of
yourself and running to the shore or the
mountains for the week-ends
Now l must hurry up and dress; but
please remember that am still, as always,
Your FRANCES.
At lunch one warm Wednesday, Don
suggested to Miss Winthrop that after the
close of business that day they take car
for the beach instead of going to their
respective homes.
supper, and then get out of the crowd
and smell the ocean awhile" he said.
He had knack for putting in most
reasonable light anything he wished to
do. 1t was feature of his selling gift,
and she recognized it as such.
what do you say?" he pressed her.
She blushed at her own hesitancy.
"Oh, I'll CO. she answered.
But the incident remained uppermost
in her thoughts all the rest of the after
noon. If she had known about this excur-
sion the day before, she would have put
on different shirt-waist. She had a new
silk waist which was very pretty and which
she had meant to wear next Sunday.
He met her at the elevated station, but
it was she who had to direct him to the
proper trolley for Coney, or they might
have landed anywhere along the Sound.
STOPPING only long enough to buy an
ice for supper and bag of peanuts,
they sought the beach. He threw HIM
self down full length on the sand, and she
sat with her hands clasped over her knees.
The salt air swept her cheeks and cooled
them, and the waves before her ran up
the beach in play and song. This was
certainly decided improvement over
such a night in her room.
See those stars!" he exclaimed, as if this
We're the first time he had ever seen them.
She lifted her eyes and looked at them.
al often look at them,' she said. Then
she laughed gently to herself.
"Do you know what do when I'm silly
enough to want jewels?' she asked.
"What?"
Il take a look at those stars, and then
don't want jewels any more"
"A man could give away diamonds by
the handful if women would take that
kind" he exclaimed. "See that big fellow
up there?'
He pointed it out, and she nodded.
"I'll give you that one," he offered.
She laughed INDEPENDENTLY.
"But l don't have to come to you or
any one," she reminded him. Il can just
give it to myself.
"That isn't quite the same thing, is it?'
No, it was not quite the same thing.
She knew it. But she was not telling all
ats a wonder to me you've never
married. he said.
She caught her breath. She had come
to look for unexpected remarks from him,
but this was trife more unexpected than
usual. She tried to laugh as she usually
did, but she could not laugh.
al suppose you've figured out that, with
all your free diamonds, you're better off
as you are, he suggested.
She did not answer.

town, isn't it?" she asked.
IL should say so, he nodded.
With her permission, he lighted a ciga-
rette and, stretching himself out on the
grass, enjoyed it as only man can who
has limited his smokes to so many day.
She sat near the brook, and she too was
quite content and very comfortable.
Il don't see why you didn't tell me
about this place BEFORE" he observed.
IL wasn't quite sure you'd like it here,
for one thing" she answered.
"Why not?"
at isn't a very gay place, is it?"
"It's considerably gayer than my house
on a Sunday" he answered.
"It's your own fault you don't enjoy
your house MORE" she declared.
"How is it?"
"Why, it's wonderful thing to have
house all of your own. l used to pretend
this was house all of my own
Don't you any longer?"
She was wondering how it would be
about that, now that she had allowed him
to enter. OF course she might treat him
merely as guest here; but that was diff
cult, because the only thing she based her
sense of ownership on was the fact that
no one else knew anything about the
place. She shook her head.
dts hard to pretend anything except
when you're Alone she answered.
He sat up.
"Then you oughtnt to have let me
come here with YOU"
She smiled.
How could help it? You just came"
II know it, he admitted. I'm always
butting in, and you ought to tell me so
every now and then"
would that make any difference?"
II don't know as it would" he adj
mitted. "But it might make me uncom-
Portable
al don't want to make you uncom-
Portable. l think you manage to make
yourself uncomfortable enough, as it is.
And that's absurd, because just being
man ought to keep you happy all the time"
IL don't see how you figure that" he
answered.
Being man is being able to do about
anything you wish"
Don't you believe it," he replied.
"Having money is the only thing that
makes you able to do what you wish"
ooh, dear!" she exclaimed. "Are you
going back to that ten thousand year,"
"Pretty soon now it will be September"
he reflected irrelevantly.
"And them
al had rather hoped to get it by them"
swell, you won't, so you'd better forget
it. l shouldn't wonder but what you re-
ceived raise to two thousand if Farms
worth gets you out selling, and that ought
to satisfy YOU
DON looked up. Somehow, every time
~ she put it that wayit did sound enough.
Beside the brook it sounded like plenty.
Lock here,' he exclaimed. "Would
you marry man who was only drawing
q salary of two thousand?'
For moment the question confused
her. but only for moment.
"If was willing to take my chance with
man." she said "his salary of two thou
sand would be the least of my troubles"
"You mean you think two could live
on that?"
"Of course they could" she answered
shortly.
