NOT AT ALL EAGER TO GO
Old jeff Had No Desire Whatever to
Be Translated From His Com
Portable Cabin.

1t Is commonly supposed that ne
groes fearing death will make all sorts
Of promises because of their dread of
future punishment. But Prof. Ulrich
Il. Phillips in "American Negro Slav-
cry" tells the story Of at least one
old hard-headed fellow who steadfast-
ly resisted the hypnotic suggestion Of
the preacher, and even repudlated glo.
rification on his deathbed. A Lou
isiana physician recounted to Pro-
fessor Phillips the final episode in the
career Of "Old Uncle Caleb" who had
long been a-dying. Before his de.
parture, Jeff, the negro preacher, gath

ners around the bed. He read chap
ter and prayed, after which they sang
hymn. Uncle Caleb lay motiOnless
with closed eyes and gave no sign. JEFF
approached and took his hand. "Uncle
Caleb" he said earnestly, "de doctor
says you are dying, and all de bred

de las time. And now, Uncle Caleb,
dey wants to hear from your own mouf
de precious words, dat yo feels pre-

his eyes suddenly and in very irri-

manner: "Jeff, don't talk yo nonsense

AFFECTED BY ICE DEPOSITS
Seeming Proof That Crust Of the Earth
Has Had Periods Of Rising
and Failing.

The elastic character Of the elrth's
crust is one Of the most certain facts
Of observation; great areas rise and
fall under the action of varying pres
surcs. 1t Is, therefore, reasonable to
suppose that the accumulation In pleis-
tocene times of vast continental gla-
ciers one or two miles In depth would
exert such downward weight pressure
as to cause a subsistence Of the great
areas affected.
This seems to be borne out by a
marked and very apparent rise of land
in the northeastern section Of the
North American continent, in COM
paratively recent times. H. L. Fair
child, writing In Science, states that
this area, covered by the latest Amer
lean ice sheet, the LabradOrian glacier,
stood much below Its present position,
relative to sea level, when the ice
sheet melted off, and that slow upllft
brought the land to Its present altl-
tude. This is indicated by the pres
cnce Of the remains Of sea animals
and plants throughout inland parts,
by beach formations in parts now
away from the sea and general geo.
logical considerations.
The region of this recent rise of land
extends from New Jersey to Hudson
strait and as far inland as Wiscon-

ROYAL ROAD TO HAPPINESS
Much Depends on Making Proper Use
Of What One ls Fortunate
Enough to Possess.

Upon the use we make of what we
have depends In large measure not
only our success in life, but, what Is
more to the point, our happiness, re-
marks Charleston News and Courier.
1t Is because we do not appreciate the
blessings that we possess that so many
Of us fail, because common sense tells
us that If we have the ability to un-
derstand and appreciate the gifts and
favOrs that are shOwered upon us we
would, Mt the same time, possess the
ability to make the right use of them.
OF course, there are cases where cir
cumstances for the time being at least
prevent us from applying our talents
to the best possible use, but such cir
cumstances do not stand in our way
all the time, and If we have sufficient
determination and perseverance the
chances nre that we will in the end
make good use of what we have, pro-
vlded we thoroughly appreciate the
latter. Our talents, fortunately, do not
all lie In the same direction any more
than our personal ordinations do, and
those things that bring joy and gratl-
f1cation to one person will not satisfy
the ambitions of another, simply be-
cause the latter's ambitions and abil-
ties are Of different nature.

After this wear. Eastern Oregon joins
the East and the Willamette valley in
the exclusive use of the narrow tread
wagon This is the result of agree
ment between the Agricultural de-
partment and the implement manufac-
turers. so it is said. Likewise, dis
continuance of the manuf icture of
1877 and 20-7 drills is announced. The
reason given is that only small pro-
portion of the product is used, and
this mainly in the Northwest. So
hereafter the wagon will snoop along
in the auto track and the Umatila
county farmer will have to content
himse with drills of another specifi-
cation, whether it suits his needs and
convenience or not. One redeeming
feature exists in the new departure. at
least. He still will have the privilege
of purchasing extras for the drills he
now uses.

Are you ready to meet the Fourth
Liberty Loan? the proposed method
of mailing rating cards to potential
subcribers to the loan, setting forth the
ratio of bonds they are expected to
purchase, would result in great i'm
provement over the system of solic-
itation followed in previous Liberty
Loan drives. The reason is apparent.
Why should the potential subscriber
whom the government expects to Sc
cure the loan, be dinged by solicitors,
when from a sense of patriotism he
stands ready to do has share toward
winning the war, only needing to be
notified as to the amount of bonds he
is expected to take? Relative to the
card system of notification, it may be
well to suggest that they be mailed to
subscribers as early as possible before
the drive, so that preparations to meet
the subscription can be made.
