To the Editor : A gentleman from

"Wheat , for instance , will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the

it is said are longer than near Du

OLD READER.
FORM of COWARDICE
MEN REFUSE SACRIFICES
FOR THEIR , CONVICTIONS
There is a feeling that seems to be
more widely prevalent just now than
in past years thnt certainly ought not
to be encouraged , and that Is the ono
th'at leads men to think that they
ought to make material sacrifices for
th'e sake of their convictions , and that
it Is foolish for them to expect others
to do so. Of course , it is to be remem
bered that martyrdom never has been
popular. And with this thought in
mind one will not judge too harshly
the tendency of the men of our own
day to shrink from it. That is wholly
natural , and so is always to be an
ticipated. But the weakness of the
men of our own time is that they too
frequently act and talk as though
nothing else than the complete aban
donment of principle were to be looked
for when money is at stake. The
thing appears to be taken as a matter
of course , and , if commented on at all ,
it is spoken of with a cynical frank
ness which indicates that the- speaker
himself has lost all grip on the great
verities of life. Men say that they
cannot "afford" to be independent in
politics. When they are quite sure
that their confidence will be respect
ed , they will talk of political inde
pendence in the most admiring strain ,
and will even admit that the safety of
our political Institutions depends on
those men who refuse to be the slave
of party. Yet , admitting the duty of
independence , they apologize for
others If not for themselves who
fail to discharge It , on the ground that
it takes too much courage , or because
they can not "afford" to do so. This
is but one illustration of the weakness
referred to. There seems to be a low
ering of the standard all round , and
a disposition to measure every sacri
fice in money. It is known that there
are even some Christian ministers
who , though they are pledged to an
absolute truthfulness to their own
convictions , do not dare to tell the
truth exactly as they hold it. In bust-

CQJVSTR \/CTE7) I cling " Lost to Cause. the '
At least two of the residents of the
"old dominion" are still unreconstruct
ed. They are women and are as de
voted to the lost cause today as they
were in the early 'GO's. They live in a
big , old-fashioned southern mansion
in Southampton county , Virginia.
They are sisters , the elder , Miss Ju
dith Thomas , being 90 years old , and
the younger , Miss Annie , ten years
her junior. They are the closest sur
viving blood relatives of Gen. George
H. Thomas , the "Rock of Chickamauga -
ga , " but ever since Thomas cast in
his lot with the Union in 1861 they
have declared that "we have no broth
er. To them he died the day after
Virginia seceded. " The two stately
old Virginia ladies are still unrecon
structed. From the moment when
their famous brother refused to go into
the Confederate army they have re
fused to allow his name to be spoken
in their presence , and although Gen.
Thomas lived for five years after the
close of the war they never communi
cated with him nor consented to re
ceive a communication from him. They
are living still on the memories of the
days before the war. The old Thomas
plantation is still in their possession ,
and the rentals paid by the tenants
who work it enable them to live in
comfort. Only a few months ago they
deposited among the treasures of a
historical society in Richmond , Va. ,
the magnificent sword which was pre
sented to their brother by the county
of Southampton after he had returned
from his splendid service in the Mex
ican war. People who go to call on
the Misses Thomas come away from
the old manor-house full of admira
tion for the sweet and stately courtesy
of the ladies , but saddened by the
pathos of their lives. Not even after
the war had closed would those stern
old women , living all alone in the
great house which was his birthplace
as well as their own , recognize or re
ceive a communication from their fa-
TO HARNESS THE COLORADO , j
It is proposed now to utilize the
power of the Colorado river , which
ters its way through the Grand canon
with force enough to move the machin
ery of a thousand mills. For many
months hydraulic engineers have been
studying the project , and they have
just made a report They declare that
in 150 miles of the river's course a
dozen times more electrical energy
can be secured than is taken from Ni
agara Falls. Part of the canon is in
the forest reserve , and it also passes
through several Indian reservations.
If the government's consent can be se
cured it is intended to instal this sum
mer a plant of sufficient size to fur
nish electrical power to cities , towns
and mining camps within compartively
easy reach of the Colorado , and then
to increase the scope of the company
until all of Arizona and most of the
lower part of California canr be sup
plies from the canon torrent. If suc
cess attends the plans of the company
one of the chief results will be the
placing in operation of many minds
of value which have long been idle
because of lack of power. The plans
ness and societytoothoso pitiful com
promises are made. Much of this
smothering of the- truth Is no doubt
due to the fact that we are now living
In a period of marvelous material
prosperity , when men magnify out of
all proportion the importance of finan
cial success. It is well to guard
against this tendency. * The surest way
to get good and noble work out of men
is by letting them know that you ex
pect It from them. He Is a rare crea
ture who will not earnestly try to jus
tify the good opinion that his fellows
have of him. Therefore the standard
should be kept high and the noble
Ideal undimmed. If we do not thus
get more martyrs for the truth's sake ,
we may at least succeed in developing
stancher and more heroic defenders
of It. If men cannot all at once be
brought to defend the citadel with
their lives , they may be made to be
lieve that it is disgraceful to betray
it to the enemy for money. It is more
rational to say nothing of' being
more moral for'a man to feel rather
that he can not afford to do wrong ,
than to feel that he can not afford to
do right Thus there seems to be a
practical basis even for the martyr
theory of life. Indianapolis News.
Strange Tribute to Our Sailor Dead.
Many of the coast towns of Califor
nia instituted last "year on Memorial
day a unique form of tribute to the
memory of our sailor dead whose un
known graves lie in the ocean. Bands
of children marched to the water's
edge and while singing patriotic songs
strewed the sea with flowers. - It is
now urged that this pretty ceremony
be made a national custom , and with
this idea in view a circular , signed by
Mrs. Armitage S. C. Forbes of Los
Angeles , Cal. , is being sent about , urg
ing all interested and influential people
ple to concur and assist in perpetuat
ing the ceremony.

in 1861. and when he was actually
borne to his grave nine years later
it did not add to the grief which
they felt so long. Even now , more
than thirty years after the great sol
dier , whom the "boys" of the army of
the Cumberland lovingly called "Pap"
Thomas , was laid to rest , the two old
women cling to the memory of the
young lieutenant who fought so brave
ly in the war with Mexico , and refuse
to admit that any brother of theirs
ever reached the rank of a general
officer. Utica Globe.
Stingiest Bees In Olontgerrat.
A Barbadoes correspondent says
that Mr. W. K. Morrison , the bee ex
pert attached to the Imperial Depart
ment of the West Indies , has recently
discovered several colonies of stingless
bees In the island of Montserrat. He
is now trying what can be done by the
use of modern hives to improve their
honey-producing capabilities. Modern
apiarists are of opinion that they can
make the honey bee conform to al
most any conditions , so that Mr. Mor
rison's experiments will be watched
with some interest. The honey of the
stingless bee is clearer and thinner
than that of ordinary commerce.

Artificial Stone.
The preparation of a simple and
cheap artificial stone is becoming an
limportant German industry and Js
likely to eventually suplant brickmak-
Ing. The ingredients are only lime and
sand in the proportion of four to six
parts of the former to between nine
ty-six and ninety-four parts of the lat
ter. The materials are thoroughly
mixed and shaped into blocks of the
desired size. The latter are then put
in a boiler , which is sealed , and sub
mitted to a steam pressure of from 120
to 150 pounds to the square inch. This
operation gives a flinty "character to
the blocks , making them very hard.
For Health nnd Decency.
Disregard for the law against ex

at last moved the New York health
department to action. Tuesday morn-
nig seventy officers of the department
in citizen's attire were detailed to
travel all day in the cars of the various
companies throughout the city and on
all the ferry boats. They had orders
to arrest any person found violating
the ordinace. Before noon several men
were compelled to accompany the offi
cers to a magistrate's court , where
they were fined and warned against a
repetition of the offense.
Couldn't Wear Shoes.
Sumpter , 111. , June 10th. Mrs. J. B.
Flanigan , of this place , had suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoes. She had doctored all the
time , but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr. Flanigan , who was
very much discouraged , called for some
medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store
in Carmi. Mr. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills ,
and he bought six boxes. His wife used
five out of the six , before she was en
tirely cured. She is now as sound and
as well as ever she was , complete ! . , - filtered
ltered to health , and free from any
symptom whatever of dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanigan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings , and she and
Mr. Flanigan are loud in their praises
of Dodd's Kidney Pills , and of Mr.
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe
case of dropsy , after the doctors had
given her up , has made them the. most
talked of remedy ever known in White
county.

writes the Peruna Medicine Company as follows :
Gentlemen "After four years of Intense suffering , caused by systemic
catarrh , which I contracted while editing , and traveling for my paper , I have
been greatly relieved by the use of Peruna. I gave up work during these years
of torture , tried various remedies and many doctors , but all the permanent
relief came from the use of Peruna. My trouble was called indigestion , but it
was catarrh all through my system , and a few bottles of Peruna made me feet
like another person , noting the improvement after I had used the first bottle *
Peruna is undoubtedly the best catarrh remedy ever compounded. Clem (7.
Moore.
Captain Percy W. Moss , Paragould ,
