Morai-Don't Borrow

A man who was too stingy to sub scribe for his home paper sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by a neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over S4 stand of bees and in ten minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His father ran to his assistance, and failing to notice the barb wire fence, ran into that, cutting hole in his anatomy and running a $5 pair of trousers. The old COW took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing racket, the wife ran out, upset four-gallon churn full of cream into basket of little chick ems, drowning the entire hatch. Tn her haste she dropped $35 set of false teeth. The baby, having been left alone, crawled through the milk into the parlor, running a brand-new $25 carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up Il setting hens and the calves got out and chewed the tails of four fine shirts on the clothes line.-Sebree (Ky.) Banner.

GOVERNMENT SEEDS

The government has sent out re- quests for bids on vegetable and flower seeds to be distributed by congressman. Some of those on which bids will be submitted are 5000 lbs. sweet peas, 500 lbs. zenia, 1000 lbs. candytuft, 2000 lbs. nas- turium, 10000 lbs. beets, 60,O00 lbs. lettuce and 75,0OO lbs. radish.
 Some of these, used mostly by amateur gardeners, have proven very satisfactory, while others have failed to germinate resulting in many cases in the loss of a crop. Many thou sands of these packages are never opened and are either left for the mice to destroy or kept in hot, dry rooms which make them unfit for use.
 Judging from experience and ob- servation, it would seem that the government is uselessly expending a large sum of money each year which might better be put to better pur- pose. The majority of those receiv- ing seeds can well afford the ten or fifteen cents that such seeds might cost, and if purchased from a reli- able seedsman they are sure to ger minate.

with any plan that was not fully

with any plan that was not fully worked out and ready for action.
 Roosevelt trusted his men and gave them their head. He knew, as every great executive must, that he could not do it all himself. He wanted us, each within our sphere, to act as vigorously as he did him. self. Once he had come to have con- fidence in the wisdom and honesty of an advisor, he adopted recommends tions almost as a matter of course. The result was that the men working under him were not confident in his support, but had feeling of pride and proprietorship in their work which doubled their efficiency.
 Roosevelt led his men. He asked nothing of US that he was not ready to do himself. He was his own severest taskmaster, and he expected rof himself and actuallyfaccomplished more work than any of us. Finally, he was always more than generous in acknowledging help or good work, not seldom to the point of attribut- ing to others the credit for things done or said for which he was mainly responsible"

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

During Theodore Roosevelt's ad- ministration as president, so much was printed and said of his "big stick" method of gaining the ends desired that we can hardly blame the large number who looked upon him as a man of might with but little understanding of the more gentle side of life. That he was man and a president of unusual ability is not doubted by even his most severe critics and that he ranks with Lincoln for tenderness and human kindness is a matter of history.
 During the coming weeks of the campaign of the Roosevelt Memorial Association, sidelights on the private life of our greatest American will be presented in so many different ways that an entirely new opinion of him must be formed. Clifford Pinchot, who was long and intimately associa- ted with Col. Roosevelt, says:
 "First, and most of all, his natural tendency was to act. He understood that while action may sometimes be wrong, the failure to act is almost always so. He was painstakingly careful in reaching conclusions on matters of great moment, but once the conclusion was reached, action followed instantly. This was so true that it was never safe to go to him

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

The many friends of Miss Sarah Ferguson learned of her resignation of office with much regret. Miss Ferguson's unusual swiftness and correctness in the performance of her duties were unequalled, and her few absences during her long tenure of office were remarkable, while her capability and efficiency will be long remembered. That she will be greatly missed by the public whom she has served so we'll and faithfully, goes without saying.

In almost every walk of life the tendency seems to be to revise the old tried way of doing things. This fever has now spread to the Protes- tant Episcopal church, whose execu- tives are in session att Chicago, and who want to revise the book of prayer. Will there be no let-up to these new matched, unf1edged vision aries or must we learn all over again how to render our supplication to Diety?

Alton E. Briggs of Boston, presi- dent of the National butter. and egg association, states that chickens and eggs two or three times the present size will soon reach the public. The question of size does not seem as important to us as the price, just now and in our opinion the public would be better served if this were reduced.
