MARRIAGE NOT A LOTTERY
Minister Endeavors to Turn Thouahts
Of People From That Prevailing
Idea Of the Subject.

Marriage is a conservation, under
a mutual love, and the person en-
tering upon married life with that
conception of his future is not en-
gaging in a lottery" declared Rev.
DR.. John Faville in a sermon at the
Congregational church recently be-
fore $50 of the 413 couples he has
married during the 81 years of his
pastorate here, according to an Ap-
pleton wis correspondent of the
New York World.
Doctor Faville had extended an
invitation to all he had married to
attend the service. Many from near
by cities were present, and most Of
those living at distant points sent
letters or kilograms that were read
at the service.
Doctor Faville took his text from
Genesis;
Therefore shall a man leave hic
father and mother and shall cleave
unto his wife"
He classified marriage as being
chiefly four things; First, a civil
contract second, a religious cere-
mony; third, a partnership; fourth,
a conservation, under a mutual love.
He ridiculed the idea that marriage
of geniuses, because they are such,
are failures.
at is only because a genius too
frequently is too little, too selfish
and too mean that connubial bliss
for him is not realized" declared the
minister.

THE FARM GARDEN.
BY j. S. Gardner, Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture.

Whether the garden is to be
a success or not depends, in
great measure, on its location
with reference to the home, and
to the farm buildings. 1t should
be easily reached both by these
who care for it, and by the
housewife who does most of the
harvesting. 1t should be so
placed that plows and other
tools Go not need to be brought
far, for this takes time and
labor, and makes the garden
work expensive. Then, too, if
the garden is close at hand,
spare times now and then can
be used in going over it.
The garden is generally well
drained, but, if it is not, laying
a few lines of tile in the garden
will frequently pay, Early vege-
tables will not do well in a water
logged soil and late ones are in
jured almost as badly. On the
other hand, most vegetables
need plenty of water to thrive
and produce well. Their roots
are so shallow they cannot go
down to a deep water table in
dry seasons as trees can, so arti-
fetal watering may save the
garden and it is a great con-
venience to have some sort of
water supply near at hand.
The soil should be fertile.
Vegetables are heavy feeders,
but they will return, many times
over, the value of the manure
used in building up the soil.
Barnyard manure is the best
general fertilizer to use, both
for its plant food value and for
its tendency to tighten up tight
and clayey soils which drain
poorly and remain cold" until
late in the spring. The loose,
mellow soil resulting from APP
plication of barnyard manure
is also essential in growing the
root crops, which are likely to
be misshapen and distorted in
too tight and stony soils, too.
A dressing of three inches of
manure is not too much but it
should be well rotted if it is
plowed under in the spring.
Gardens that were plowed last
fall will show the good effects
of (1) weathering, and (2) a re-
duced number of grubs and
other pests that have escaped
freezing, as well (3) as the OPP
.portunity for rotting of the
manure through winter. If
your garden was not plowed last
fall, it should be done as early
as the ground is at all fit to
work, now.

There Are Precedents

Go AAANAN nv ACN~ANA0
There is no good ground for
the criticism heard in Washing
ton that President Wilson eX-
ceeded his authority and estab-
lished a dangerous precedent
when, without obtaining the
sanction of Congress, he entered
into reciprocal agreement with
General Carranza to protect the
border. President Hayes did not
consult Congress in 1880 when
he had an understanding with
President Diaz that both Mexi-
can and American troops could
cross the border in pursuit of
Chief Victorio and his band.
President Hayes was able to re-
port in his annual message to
congress on December 6 that
"by the combined and harmon
ious action of the military for
ces of both countries his Vic
torio's) band has been broken
up and substantially destroyed.
1t is apparent that President
Arthur did not obtain the con-
sent of Congress to a similar
transaction with the Mexican
Government. In his annual
message on December a, 1882,
President Arthur said:
"a recent agreement with
Mexico provides for the cross
ing of the frontiers by armed
forces of either country in pur-
suit of hostile Indians. In my
message of last yearI called at
tention to the prevalent law
lessness upon the borders and to
the necessity of legislation for
its suppression"
The determination of the
Apache Kids band of hostiles
called for still another agree
ment between the two Govern
ments that troops should be per-
mitted to cross the line in either
direction as the occasion re-
quired. Secretary Olney in a
report to President Cleveland
said that subiugation of the
Apaches had become an i'm
perative duty toward the inhabi-
tants on either side of the Dor
der line" Full particulars of all
the cases can be found in the
record Of Foreign Relations. Nc
vote of Congress was solicited
or needed to give validity on the
part of the United States tC
reciprocal agreements.
The criticism of President Will
son in the present instance is
captious when not partisan OF
personal. That of course coulC
not be said of his intention t
wage war on Mexico, or to pro.
woke her government to war
Can it be doubted even by tn,
severest critics Of Mr.. Wilson,
policy that war is the last thin,
he desires? The reciprocal
agreement with General Corron
