was at Work m the stables, fee0lnS, rubbing down and harnessing his horses, while Allan and his father walked to the engine, where they built a fresh fire and made some minor re- pairs. A little later Beulah came down to the corral with her milk-pails, and the COWS, comfortably chewing where they rested on their warm spots of earth, rose slowly and with evident great reluctance at her approach. The Harris farm, like fifty thousand others. rose from its brief hush of rest and quiet to the sounds and energies of another day.
 Breakfast, like the meal of the night before, was eaten hurriedly. and at first without conversation. but at length Harris paused long enough to remark, "Riles is talkin' O goin' West"
 "The news might be worse." said Beulah. Riles, although q successful farmer, had the reputation of being grasping and hard to degree, even in a community where such quail ties, in moderation, were by no means considered vices.
 Harris paid no attention to his daughters interruption. It was evi- dent, however. that his mention of Riles had a purpose behind it, and presently he continued:
 "Riles has been writin' to the de partment of the interior, and It seems nty' lot Of steadin' away West, not far from the Rocky mountains. Seems they have good climate there. and good soil too"
 II should think Mir. Riles would be content with what he has," said Mary Harris. "He has q fine farm here, and I'm sure both him and his wife have worked hard enough to take it easier now"
 Hard work never killed nobody" pursued the farmer "RileS is good for many year yet, and free land ain't what it once was. Those homesteads'll be worth twenty dollars an acre by the time they're proved up."
 Breakfast and Harris speech came to an end simultaneously, and the sub ject was dropped for the time. In a few minutes Jim had his team hitched to the tank wagon in the yard. The men jumped aboard and the wagon rattled down the road to where the engine and blows sat in the stubble- field.

 The next known reference to this hymn occurs in connection with the observance of the fiftieth convocation of the University of Illinois. on No vember 20, 1913.

Mr.. Silverbrand denied that he had
