Attending a chautauqua.

Ralph Bingham is telling this good
me-: The citizens of a thriving town
of about 10000 people arranged for a
chautauqua assembly last summer.
They held the meetings In a big tent
about a mile from town. and the at
tendance was large from the first day.
An enterprislng circus man heard Of
the large crowds and landed In the
town on the third day with a steam
merry-go-round. which he located half
way between the town and the chau
tauqua grounds.
Along in the afternoon a young mai
from the country. coming from the di-
rection Of the Chautauqua. was accost
ed by a citizen of the town who knew
him.

Grandfather ties the kerchief knot.
Tenderly guides the swinging weight

Nobody weighed the threads of care
From which a woman's life is pun
No index tells the mighty worth
OF a little baby's quiet breath.
A soft unceasing metronome,
Patient and faithful until death.
Nobody weighed the baby's soul,
For here on earth no weights there be
That could avail. God only knows
Its value In eternity.
Only eight pounds to hold a soul
That seeks no angels silver wing.

Antiquated Customs.


There is no court In Europe more
tenacious of its etiquette-which was
inaugurated several hundreds of years
ago-than that of Spain. 1t is said
that King Ferdinand VII. nee made
a minister resign because he had ac-
cidentally touched hfs hand. One of
the quaintest ceremonies is the closing
of the royal palace gates at Madrid
every night. Electric light has been
in use in the palace for quite a long
while, but nevertheless every evening
at II o'clock the officiating gentleman
in waiting appears. accompanied by
several servants, who carry ancient
lanterns, to demand a huge key from
a higher official to lock the doors of
the palace. This is all the more anus
ing as the huge key does not fit the
modern keyholes. The key is then re-
turned t. a third official, and every
night gentlemen in waiting have to
patrol the corridors of the palace,
though sufficient guards are about, to
watch over the slumbers of their royal
master.

NIGHT.

A LII heaven and earth are still,

But breathless, as we grow when

And silent. as we stand in thoughts

All heaven and earth are still:

WE knew 1t would rain. for all the morn
w A spirit on slender ropes Of mist
Was lowering its golden buckets down

Dipping the jewels out Of the sea
To sprinkle hem over the land in show

FLAX CULTURE IN SOUTH DA-
KCTA HAS DECREASED

With an exception of the crop of
1912, the production of faxseed in
South Dakota has declined rapidly
since 1908 when the crop was 5,885, 900
bushels. In 1915 this had decreased to
1,650, 900 bushels. If the fiaxseed in
dustry of South Dakota is to be saved,
it will be necessary to utilize existing
knowledge of fax culture. Bulletin
1853 of of the South Dakota experiment
station. edited by agronomists Hume
and Champlin. has for it's object the
presentation of such information on
fax culture in concise form for the use
of the South Dakota fax grower.
This bulletin states that it is posi-
BILE to produce fax permanently and
proftably in South Dakota if careful
attention is given to such essentials
as, variety of seed, rotations, soil pre-
paration, selection and treatment Of
seed. time, rate and depth of seeding
and weed and disease prevention.
The fax commonly grown in South
Dakota is all of the small seeded, blue
Powered Russian type. However, sew
eral pedigreed varieties have been
selected by the North Dakota and
Minnesota experiment stations of
which North Dakota Resistant, s. d. 29
has yielded best at Highmore and is
probably preferable for general use in
the state, because of its wilt resist
ance.
Other points in fax culture present
ed by the bulletin are that clean plump
seed is necessary, that rust can be
avoided by early seeding, that wilt and
canker can be combated by treating
