Every day or two a cocaine-crazed negro CON-
mits an assault on one or more people. The drug
causes him to run amuck. When the harm is done
and when life is taken, there is no bringing it
back. and the punishment of the drug addict does
not restore the wasted life. Negroes could not
become crazed on cocaine or other drugs unless
taey found someone willing to sell them the poi
son, and as this industry is prohibited by law it
ought to be possible to run down the culprits and
punish them in such manner as to restrain others
from similar evil-doing.-Memphis News-Scim-

THE DISAPPOINTED.

There are songs enough for the hero
Who dwells on the height Of fame;
l sing for the disappointed
For those who have missed their aim.
l sing with a cheerful cadence
For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last. best sorrow
Has bounded from the mark.
/ sing for the breathless rune
The eager anxious soul,
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight of the goal. ,
For a heart that breaks in silence,
With a sorrow all unknown,
For those who need companions,
Yet walk their way alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers
Who share loves tender pain;
| sing for the one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way,
sing with a heart o%'erhowing
This minor strain today.
And know the solar system
Must somehow keep in space
A prize spent for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the plan would be imperfect
Unless it held some sphere
That paid for toll and talent
And love that are wasted here,

A MANS JOB.
Prison Chaplain Has No Easy Job
Few Fitted.
by Associated Press.)

Few Fitted.
by Associated Press.)
Buffalo, Oct. 1.-THE work of the
prison chaplain is a mans job, said
the Fey. c. E. Benson, President OF
the National Prison Chaplains Asso-
citation, in an address before the
American Prison Association at its
annual congress here today. "The
chaplain must be born, not made" he
said. Every graduate of a theolog-
zeal seminary is not suitable for a
successful chap!aincy. The success
ful must possess qualities and char
acteristics which stand for a leader
among men. He must have faith in
nan as man, and believe that there
is something good in ever the most
d~epraved.
"lhe faithful chaplain proclaims
nothing bat the word of God. Topics
Of the cay as for instance the 'impend-
ing railway strike whether Mr.. Will
son or Mir. Hughes ought to be our
next President ETC., are things that
should never be tolerated. A sermon
should never be turned into a third
rate newspaper. The chapel hour is
not for trivialties. The chapel hour
is rife with eternal destiny.
THE chaplain's reward is not mon
etary. AS a rule our chaplains are
u%nderpaid. A pension system ought
to be originated for the chaplain and
for also all other prison officials who
serve the better part of their life in
prison work. But an honest chaplain
is not a minister Of the gospel for the
love Of money. If he were he would
soon quit and 60 into commercial pur-
suits. His aim and reward are great
er and more enduring. To serve his
part, to realize the best that is with
in himself, to be a help and strength
to erring humanity, is his goal"

DON'T SELL YOUR HOME FARM.

Selling the homestead or home farm is z very
grie .ous error, unless for the purpose OF buying
mn. ~ealateiy another as good or better place. A
greet many farmers, on account OF the oiscourag-
ing conditions nov existing on account Of the ap-
pea.4nce o. the Dol! weeVL, are gong TO be dis
posea to sell the farm home and seek more at
irac ave opportunities in otGer sections. About
nine times out OF ten, the other sections nave
tnelf disadvantages and the new settler not being
adjusted to the new conditions, nelgnbors ana
customs, is not satisfied and wishes with all ms
Iealt mat he was back at the old farm. 1t Is
ons ol the illusions of the human mind that bet
ter times, better conditions and greater opportu-
mites are always just beyond, when the true TACT
is tat always they are at home where content
men, and understanding can be found. 1t is a
mistake to give over to Encouragement and run,
ana me chances are good that the man who sells
his ..o1ne farm now and moves elsewhere will not
only not find as good anywhere else, but will spend
the cash ne receives Tor his farm and will never
own another. Back in the old days OF the Bible,
it viii be recalled that, because OF the discourage
ment ana the fear OF starvation, Esau sold his
DrturIght to his brother for a mess of pottage
that he consumed. Esau and his p~osterity be-
came wanderers on the face of the earth, and his
brother Jacob, the supplanter, became the head Of
Israel. There is a lesson to be learned in this his
tCfical incident that everyone VINO OWnS a nome
Should try to learn. The boil weeyil has been in
the state now for several years and it has been an
accepted fact that in time they would go all over
the state; but, regardless of this, lands have adj
vancea at least so per cent. in their selling value.
The advance In price may halt for a while until
the new methods OF diversified farming and stock
raising have been established and then it will go
forward by leaps and bounds. We anticipate that
land now can be bought for twenty to thirty dol
lars an acre will be easily worth one hundred an
acre IN ten or fifteen years. The man who sells
his land because of Encouragement is making a
mistake and may find when it is too late that he
has sold his birthright for a mess of pottage.
