an Annoyance to Farmers Now
Filling the Soil.

When Samuel Champlain earned the
gratitude Of succeeding generations by
keeping a journal as he sailed along
the coast from the mouth of the st.
Lawrence to Cape Ann he recorded,
among other things. the appearance
OF the fields which the Indian women
cultivated not far from the site of the
present town Of Gloucester. Mass. He
described. relates a writer, the hoes
used by them, made from the shells of
the horseshoe crab, a creature which
interested him greatly, and he also told
of the weeds which these women
grubbed up with their primitive hoes,
thus saving their corn. beans and
squashes.
Among the weeds he mentioned es-
pecially the purslane Of which he saw
enough and. If he could come back to-
day and Inspect the gardens along the
Massachusetts shore ne would find the
same weeds fiourishing In the same old
way and holding their own against the
most modern Of farm implements.
More than that 1t would not be sur
prising If he found fields In which the
weeds had gained the upper hand and
had smothered the planted crop,
whether of beans. squash or corn, and
he could well be pardoned If he won

SENSlTIvENESS HURTS A MAN
Anliction OFTEN Results In Absolute
Ruin Of Persons Who Are Inclined
e, to Be Ambitious.

In an article called "How / Cured
Myself of Being Sensitive" a writer
says in the American Magazine:
Wagner. you've got ability he
cried, but you'll never get anywhere
in this world until you quit tearing
yourself to pieces I've watched you
for the last three years twice I've had
IT In mind to push you up notch In
the office, and every time I've passed
you and picked some one else, because

men. No man is fit to handle other
men until he has learned to control
himself. You can't. you're too blamed
sensitive.
Little setbacks break your heart.
letter of complaint comes In from
some customer and you take it as a
personal criticism. and lose a days
work brooding over it. You see me in
conference with some of the other men
and you stab yourself wondering why
you weren't Invited and imagine that
l have turned against you. You hear
about some one who is making more
money than you. and Immediately all
far fields look greener. You're q fair
ly useful cog in your present Job, and
1t might put me to some annoyance to
lose you. But you'll never hold big
Job until you can forget your own
petty self and learn to laugh when the
world takes a crack at you. Hanged

duties of the household In order that
they may keep to this common work
that all their hearts are engaged In,
and in doing which their hearts be-
come acquainted with each other.
When YOU think of this, you realize
how the people Of the United States
are being drawn together into great
family. whose heart Is being USED
for the service of the soldiers, not
only. but for the service of civilians,
where they suffer and are lost In II
maze of distresses and distractions.
And you have then this noble picture
of justice and mercy as the two
servants of liberty. For only where
men are free do they think the
thoughts of comradeship; only where
they are free do they think the
thoughts of sympathy; only where
they are free are they mutually help
full; only where they are free do
they realize their dependence upon
one another and their comradeship
in Il common interest and common
necessity.
Tells Story.
II heard story told the other
day that was ridiculous. but ii is
worth repeating because 1t contains
the germ of truth. An Indian was
enlisted in the army. He returned
to the reservation on a furlough. He
was asked what he thought of it
He said: mo much good: too much

misunderstood some innocent sen
tence of my own.
But after all. although there is
no party purpose in it. he got ii
right as far as the word 'party'-to
make the whole world democratic in
the sense of community of interest
and of interest of purpose. and il
you ladies and gentlemen could read
some of the touching dispatches
which come through official chan
nelS, for even through those channels
there come voices of humanity that
are infinitely pathetic; il you could
catch some of those voices that speak
the utter longing of oppressed and
helpless peoples all over the world,
to hear something like The Battle
Hymn of the Republic to hear the
feet of the great hosts of liberty
going to set them free. to set their
minds free. set their lives free. set
their children free. you would know
what comes into the heart of those
who are trying to contribute all the
brains and power they have to this
great enterprise of liberty. l summon
you othe comradship; summon
you in this next week to say how
much and how sincerely and how
unanimously you sustain the heart of
