Glory Of the Minority.

What Is q minority? The chosen he
roes Of this earth have been in a mi
norlty. There is not a social, political
or religious privilege that you enjoy
today that was not bought for you by
the blood and tears and patient suf-
ferings of the minority. 1t Is the MI
'norlty that have indicated humanity
in every struggle. 1t is q minority that
have stood in the van of every moral
conflict, and achieved all that is noble
in the history of the world. Minority
If man stands for the right and the
truth, though every mans finger be
pointed at him, though every woman's
lip be curled at him in scorn. he stands
in majority; for God and good angels
are with him. aud greater are they that
are for him than all they that be
against him.. b. Cough

Grinding pebbles as Californis
product are first announced In the re
port of mineral production for 1915
the years yield having been $40 tons
valued at $3.50. Flint pebbles have
been imported fron Belgium and other
parts of Europe, but the higher prices
have led to search for American sup.
piles. One shipment Of pebbles from

county proved so soft that the con-
sumption was three times as great as
that of Danish pebbles--this, with a
long wagon haul making the material
too expensive. Better results haze

Folly In Grievinu.

One class of feelings can be extin.
guished only by the creation of anoth-
err; one sentiment banished only by
inviting the antagonism OF another
one interest supplanted only by the
stronger occupancy of another So
long as this is unperceived the over
grieving heart will seek In vain TO
discipline itself. Thinking of Its sor-
row as too much, instead of Its sense
of duty as too little, it fails to meet
pointedly its own remedy.-James

EXPERIMENTING FARM PESTS.

During the past year over 100000
acres of government and public lands
have been covered with poisoned
grain for the determination OF
ground squirrels. Large areas OF
private agricultural land also have
been cleared of these pests through
campaigns conducted by the owners
under the direction of representa-
tives of the biological survey. OPP
erations have been continued effec-
lively against prairie dogs, and over
100000 acres have been practically
cleared of these destructive animals.
Improvements which have been made
by the bureau in methods of exter-
minating prairie dogs have encour-
aged large numbers of farmers to de-
stroy them on their lands.

CHAPTER Y
A CRY FROM THE WILDERNESS

a CRY FROM THE WILDERNESS
NEW YORK seemed almost like
~ foreign city to Johnnie O'Reilly when
he stepped out into it on the morning
after his arrival. For one thing 1t was
bleak and cold; the north wind, hailing
direct from Bafin's Bay, had teeth, and
1t bit so cruelty that he was glad when
he found shelter in the building which
housed the offices of the Carter Import
ing Company. The tropics had thinned
O'Reilly's blood, for the Cuban winds bear
a kiss instead OF a sting; therefore he
paused in the lower hallway jostled by
the morning crowds, and tried to warm
himself. The truth is, O'Reilly was not
only cold, but frightened.
He was far from weak-hearted. In
fact, few O'Reillys were that, and Johnnie
had an ingrained self-assurance which
might have been mistaken for impudence
but for the winning smile that went with
it, Yet all the way from Havana he had
seen in his minds eye old Sam Carter In
trenched behind his fiat-topped desk, and
that picture had more than once caused
him TO forget the carefully rehearsed
speech in which he intended to resign his
position as an employe and his prospects
as a sonin-law.

Seeing me won't make his trip any

"Oh you're the office pet, and we'll you

tinged with envy, for he had never been
able to appreciate O'Reilly. Conditions
are bad, eh?"
"Yes. Anybody can leave" the other
told him. TITS getting back that's diff
cult. The Spaniards don't like us, and
dare say they have good reason, with all
this talk of intervention and the secret
help we're lending the Insurrectos. They
held me up in Havana; tried to prove I
was a spy. They were positively peeved

Spaniards."
Well I'll tell Mr.. Carter you're here"
The secretary glided unobtrusively toward
the private office, disappeared, glided
softly into view again. and waggled a
boneless forefinger invitingly. o'Reilly
went to meet his employer as a man
marches to execution.
His heart sank further at the welcome
he received, for the importer gave him
a veritable embrace; he patted him on the
back and inquired three times as to his
health. O'Reilly was anything but cold
now; he was perspiring profusely, and he
felt his collar growing limp. To shatter
this old mans eager hopes would be like
| kicking a child in the face. Carter had
never been so enthusiastic, SO demonstra-
tive; there was something almost theat-
ricaI in his greeting 1t dismayed
oReilly immensely to realize what hold
he must have upon his employers affcc'
tions. Although the latter had reputa'
ton for self-control, he appeared to be in
perfect fiutter now. He assumed a
boisterousness which seemed strained and
wholly out of keeping with the eircum'
| stances.

destructive power. 1t was a perilously
unstable mixture, too: at times nothing
less than a flame served to ignite 1t; on
other occasions the office force pussy
footed past Carter's door on felt soles'
and even then the slightest jar often
caused the untoward thing to let go. In
either event there was a deafening roar,
much smoke and a deal of damage.
