henvy frost on August 12th, I had 22V6
bushels of wheat por aero nnd CO
bushels of oats. Off 35 acres of wheat
in 1909, I got 27 bushols of wheat
per aero and 1,300 bushels of oats off
20 acres. I never Baw such fino wheat

Its average of contract wheat was

ARISTOCRATS
By REV. AUSTEN DE BLOIS

mm
HIcHHcd, arc the Dure In heart. Mutt 5:8.
America's men nro tho cleverest
and Its women the most beautiful In
the wide world,
The American democracy gforics in
Its wenlth and In its power. Dut when
wealth and power, without culturo, an
cestry or wit, enter tho drawing-room
they are apt to be ridiculous. So
America's aristocracy is the laughing
stock of tho elder nations of tho
world.
The fur trader, tho railway brake-
man, tho dry goods dealer and the
butcher nro following good and honest
occupations, Whon (these men, by
their rugged persistence, mount tho
ladder of success nnd amass their
millions we congratulate them heart
ily. Dut when the sons and daughters of
these men attempt to create an exclu
sive fnshloriablo society they aro a
spectacle for gods and men,
There Is nn unescnpnble charm
about the very name of a man who Is
the descendant of a dozen generations
of gentlemen.
Heredity has bred grace and dignity
and elegnnro. Even the "prodigal
sons" and "ne'er do weels" of the Eu
ropean aristocracy quite easily captl
vato and capture the fairest daughters
of our new-made millionaires.
But wo, thank Ood, live In a democ
racy; so there Is a pathetic mlxturo
of the tragic and tho comic In tho ex
travagant ostentation of some of our
rich American business men when
thoy try, to be ultra-fashlonnble.
We could forgive these people, how
ever, and smile nt their strenuous ef
forts to imitate the ways of thoBo who
are "to the manner born" If they
would bo respectable.
They Imitate the vices not tho vir
tues of their models across tho sea.
Wo ennnot expect them to bo Intellec
tual. Wo have ceased to expect them
to be religious. Dut wo havo n right
to demand that they be decent
ino indictment against too many
of theso "prominent club men" and
capitalists is that they and their off
spring are unclean.
According to recent statistics more
divorces are granted in Chicago than
In any other city In the civilized
world. This is our shame.
The greater shame is that these dl
vorcees march merrily through tho
courts, choose their new partners nl
ready arranged for, nnd sweep through
tho portnls of the church of God
mantling its sanction for their 'newly
formed nnd desplcnble unions.
I have come to tho conviction that
tle minister of Christ should take the
same stand that hts Master took In
reference to this matter.
The attitude of tho Roman Cnthollc
church Is admirable. It Is better to
be too strict than tqo loose In nil
questions of morals and especially In
this question, which so vitally affects
both public and private welfare.
God's highest gift to man Is rellg
Ion, his next noblest gift Is n homo.
Both these gifts are the product of
God's great love.
The source of religion Is love. Tho
mystery nnd glory of tho homo Is love
also. In religion and the home are
the seeds of civilization.
Outside the pale of Christianity tho
home is the highest expression of the
union of thu visible nnd the Invisible
The home Is a reminder of Eden, n
foretaste of paradlso.
A truo homo gives bewitching
glimpses beforehand of tho puro Joys
of heaven, Boforo men found God or
their fellows, beforo they became
clearly aware of their own Infinite
destinies they b'egan to build homes
for themselves.
When tn the first rough envo man
formed his first rude dwelling place,
architecture was born, family life be
gan, the home was created.
Thus as architecture Is tho mother
of the arts and sciences, so the home
1b tho first parent of all Institutions,
civil, political and ethical, which
servo to incarnate the spirit of Invis
ible law.
His home, howover humblo, la n
kingly mansion nnd his life n droam
of Joy. When ho comes homo nt eve
ning time and shuts his door ho shuts
out the world, with its worrlos, its
trlnls, difficulties and perplexities. He
shuts In tho highest happiness that
the human heart can know.
But when the house Is shaken,
when divine love yields to the on
slaughts of devilish lust nnd flees the
soul, whon tho protecting armor of
honest faithfulness Is broken or un
buckled, the ruin of n human life has
begun,
This debnuchory Is altogether too
frcquont and flagrant nmong the Idle
rich. A dlsmul pleasantry In ono of
our comic weeklies recently recorded
tho following: He "Mrs. So-nnd-So Is
well connected, Is she not?" Sho
Oh, yes; sho Iiiib boon temporarily
connected with five of tho leadllng
families of Chicago."
It is a relief to remember that lin
puro and unwholesome people, both
among the vory rich and among tho
vory poor, aro In tho minority. Think
of tho thousands of bnppy homes in
our cltyl
Think of tho multitudes of children
who nro being taught the ways of vlr
tuo by fathnrs who hato lechery nnd
who love truth and honor, by mothers
whoso hearts aro as pure as the sun
light of heaven.
Divorce Is rampant In America. It
la steadily Increasing.
