A country clergyman, on his round of

old acquaintance with blble stories “My
lad," he said, “you have, of course, heard
of the parables?"
"Yes, sir.” shyly answered the boy,
whose mother had inducted him in sacred
history. "Yes, sir.”
"Good!” said the clergyman. “Now,
which of them do you like best of all?"
The boy squirmed, but at last, heeding
ills mother’s frowns, he replied: "I guess
I like that one where somebody loafs and

The Kiss.
Something made of nothing, tasting very
sweet,
A most delicious compound, with ingredi
ents complete!
But if as on occasion the heart and mind
are sour,
It has no great significance, it loses half
its power.
Something made of nothing, and never
twice the same,
Though ’tis known in every country
where love has had a name;
It is clearly meant for giving, though 'tis
sometimes bought and sold.
And, like coffee and potatoes. Is not so
good when cold.
It oft appeases discord when words have
failed to please,
Whether bestowed caressingly or given
Just to tease;
For a laugh will often save one from
doing something worse,
And the lips that taste this Bweetness are
seldom heard to curse.
'Tie the strangest, oddest mixture, this
something made of naught.
Which is never seen or handled, although
’tis often caught;
Which will not spoil in keeping, whatever
be the clime,
For this something made of nothing will
stand the test of time.

“Fifteen cents?” growled the man

What do you want 15 cents for?”
"What do I want 15 cents for?” re

W. J. Henderson, visiting Seattle
writes to the Canadian Governraeu!
agent at Spokane, Wash., and says:
I have neighbors living there, and
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past twenty years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 30 bushels
of wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels oi
oats.
It was the first week of May when
I got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in theii
crops, so I only got fifteen acres broke
and seeded. They advised me, as it
was late, not to put in much wheat, so
I put in five acres wheat and ten acres
oats, one-half acre potatoes and vegeta
bles. All kinds of vegetables grow
well up there—sweet corn, tomatoes,
onions, carrots, peas, beans, cabbage.
My wheat yielded about 20 bushels per
acre, for which I got 76 cents, others
got 80 cents; oats threshed 35 bushels
per acre, for which I got 35 cents per
bushel. You see I was three weeks
late getting them in; still I was satis
fied.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high for
such, and It costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They mow the prairie grass
and stack it for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of a horse that
can plow, from $150 up. I raised sixty
chickens and five pigs, as pork, chick
ens, butter and eggs pay well and al
ways a good market for anything a
man raises, so I have every reason to
be thankful, besides at the end of three
years I get my patent for homestead.
I heard of no homestead selling for less
than $2,000, so where under the sun
could an old man or young man do
better?

four toes instead of two, and absolutely

larger specimens of a later period, tho
most abundant of which was a long- j

Fearful Sufferln*—In Despair
Cured by Cutlcura.
“Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema I suffered with. It broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
It covered by whole body. I was al
most a solid mass of sores from head
to foot. I looked more like a piece of
raw beef than a human being. The
pain and agony I endured seemed more
than I could bear. Blood and pus
oozed from the great sore on my scalp,
from under my finger nails, and near
ly all over my body. My ears were so
crusted and swollen I was afraid they
would break off. Every hair in my
head fell out. I could not sit down,
for my clothes would stick to the raw
and bleeding flesh, making me cry out
from the pain. My family doctor did
ail he could, but I got worse and
worse. My condition was awful. 1
did not think I could live, and wanted
death to come and end my frightful
sufferings.
“In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cutlcura Rem
edies. I said I would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re
lief I experienced after applying Cuti
! cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and' itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep I had had in weeks. It
: was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. I would bathe with warm
water and Cutlcura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cutl
| cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
j the flesh l>egan to heal, and I knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured. I
wish I could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cutieuva. Mrs. Wm.

Why does this being we call a "gen
tleman" wear around his neck a band
of spotless whiteness and unbearable
stiffness, at his wrists similar instru
ments of torture, and before his chest
a rigidly starched linen plate? No one
outside of a madhouse would call theso
articles of apparel agreeable. There Is
for the custom no reason at all drawn
from comfort, hygiene or usefulness.
There Is, however, the ghost of a dead
reason. Once upon a timo a "gentle
man" was presumed to do no work,
and he dressed to show this, by put
ting on these visible signs that ho
never soiled his hands, sweated his
neck, or bent his noble back. It mat
ters not that we no longer believe in
this definition of a gentleman; we did
believe It once; its ghost rules on. No
man is bold enough to appeur in so
ciety without this impossible harness.

President James on Hazing.
President James, of the University
of Illinois, Issued the following address
to the students of the university on the
subject of hazing:
There should be no misunderstand
ing on the part of the student body or
the general public ns to the attitude
of the authorities of the University of
Illinois on the subject of hazing.
It is a rule of the board of trustees
that students found guilty of hazing
shall be dismissed from the university.
Since this rule went into effect, all
students who have been clearly proven,
guilty of hazing have been dismissed.
Hazing is a violation of good man
ners and of the right of Individual lib
erty. It is a provocation of public dis
order. Public opinion throughout the
state has very properly set its seal of
condemnation upon It. On all accounts
It must be put under the ban of the
university.
In Its milder forms It Is a nonsen
sical and almost idiotic form of amuse
ment. unworthy of the support or favor
of any sensible university student. It
was looked upon as a comparatively
slight offense perhaps 20 years ago in
small institutions. It Is today alto
gether unworthy of the traditions and
reputation of a national Institution
such as this has become.
In its coarser forms, hazing is a vul
gar, brutal, always demoralizing and
sometimes dangerous form of sport,
which the university cannot counte
nance or tolerate. It naturally leads to
reprisals and may thus become a source
of serious disorder within and without
the university In its worst forms,
which, fortunately, have not prevailed
here, it may. not inaptly, be compared
with night-riding, white-capping and
other similar forms of outrageous in
terference with private and public
rights.
Surely these are reasons enough not
only to forbid Its existence ut the uni
versity, but to use every legitimate
means to stamp it out.
All loyal and law-abiding students
are especially requested to co-operate
with the authorities in putting an ab
solute end to this custom, which, in
addition to the evil It doe* within the
university, brings dishonor upon the
fair name of our alma mater through
out the state and country and naturally
begets a prejudice against us which in
fluences unfavorably the prosperity of
the institution.

One day recently during the luncheon

want corned beef hash. Ten times, at
least, did a waiter approach the serving
table with the order for Senator Till

waiter bringing the same old order, “dat’s
