WORTH WHILE.
"('13 easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows along like a song;
But the man worth while is the one who will
smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart 15 trouble,
And it always comes with the yearsa
And the smile that is Worth the praise of
earth
Is the smile that comes through tears. .
It' is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to str ay;
When without or within no voice of sin
Is luring your soul away.
But it’s only a negative virtue
. Until it is tried by fire.
And the life that is worth the honor of earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic. the sad. the fallen.
Who had no strength for the strife,
The world’s highway is cumbered today;
They make up the item of life.‘
But the virtue that conquers passion.
And the sorrow that hides in a smile——
It is these that are worth the homage of earth.
For we find them but once in a while.
—-Ella “’heeler Wilcox in Congregationalist.
BY E. J. w.
The Soprano was late that morning.
As She brush-ed hastily arrest the Or-
ganist glanced up from his instrument
to whisper,—
“Better late than never.”
- She gave him a nod and laughing
sidewisc glance. and slipped softly
into her chair between the short, good
natured Second Soprano and the tall,
melancholy Tenor She herself was
neither short nor tall, but quite the
happy medium.
A light snow was falling, and a few
of the great feathery flakes still clung
to her sealskin jacket. The Second
Soprano obligingly flicked them off
with her handkerchief, in return for
which. she received a flashing smile of
thanks. , ‘
The Soprano smiled a great deal. In.-
deed, she could well afford to, for her
teeth were faultless, and her eyes of
that rare golden brown» color which al-
ways reminds one of a sunbeam danc-
ing upon a clear, dark pool of water.
Beautiful eyes. truly, and reflecting
in their liquid depths the many and
varying moods of an impulsive, gener-
ous, intense nature.
When she rose in her place and sent
that wonderful voice of hers ringing
and thrilling straight into the hearts
of the people, they listened in an ec-
stacy of enjoyment and sudden spirit-
ual uplifting.
For some the radience of actual di-
vinity lay along the dim old aisles and
touched the exquisite faces upon the
chancel window; the solemn tones of
the .great organ became the blended
sweetness of many harps and voices
led by the one soaring, vibrating voice
which sang praise and honor and
glory to the Most High.~
Something of this kind was said to
. She threw back her dainty
head and laughed long and heartily.
“Really, you do "me too much honor!”
she cried when she could speak; “Far
too much honor! Why, I have studied
in Paris, Berlin, Rome—I have spent
thousands of dollars to get just that
quality into my voice which. you‘ are
pleased to couSider so admirable. It
is my stock in trade, and I should be
foolish indeed did I not use it to the
best advantage.”
She loved her art with ardent enthu.
siasm, and pursued it unremittingly.
She had been known to spend months
upon an aria before she considered her-
self capable of rendering it in an ac-
ceptable manner before the congrega-
tion.
She said once, carelessly, that she
should never marry—a husband would
be an encumbrance. Women of her
type rarely married men with interests
or attainments similar to their own,
and if not there could be but one re-
sult from the union—utter wretched-
ness either for one or both, which was
true enough as far as it went.
She had not said this in the hearing
of the Organist, yet it came. as such
things do. to his ears. / »
There can be no secrets exchanged or
kept in a choir. Every confidence,
every bit of gossip, soon becomes com-
mon property.
The Organist knew perfectly well
that his love for the Soprano afforded
delectable food for many a conjecture,
which knowledge often made him pro-
vokingly absent-minded; or was it the
fault of the narrow mirror which hung
before him on the organ? That dear,
delightful bit of French plate glass!
If it was tilted 31'. just the proper an-
gle he could catch a glimpse of a rosy
ear nestling in _a mass of dark hair,
and a white'neck gleaming above a
brown fur collar, though the vision,
’tis true, was often spoiled by the in-
tervening heads of the lower satellites.
Then there was always the hope
that she would permit him, as she
sometimes did, to walk home with her
after service. True, she lived barely
a block from the church, and the dis-
tance always seemed so short to him,
because from delight, fear and longing
he was bereft of speech, or if he spoke
at all, must only utter merest common-
places about the weather, or the at-
tendance, or the‘choir, instead of say-
ing that which was in his heart to
'say.
On this particular morning he seemed
more than ordinarily lost in thought.
When he began to play the “Nunc
Dimittis” instead of the “Te Deum,”
the Basso apprised him of his mistake
by vigorously poking him in the back
with a hymn book. The poor organist
colored to the roots of his wavy blonde
hair. He hastily changed the music,
and byethe skillful use of a few chords
dropped into the required key.
the blunder obviously annoyed him;
He was of an extremely nervous tem-
peranrne t. , .
The Soprano sang a solo that morn-
ing—an 'exquisite, difficult thing 11 hich
she had taken great pains in prepar-
ing. After: the first note or two she

,gers slipped on the” keys.

tion of every listener. An appreciative

Soprano caught the spirit and sang
with rare sympathy and power. .

necded to sustain the harmony his fin-

but the effect was spoiled. ' .
When the Soprano resumed her seat
all the bright color had'left'her cheeks,
and her eyes had a curious, unmistak—
able gleam in them which was only
there when she was very angry.
After service the Organist lingered
timidly, hoping for an opportunity to
speak to her and make an humble
apology for his carelessness.
none presented itself, and he saw her
leave the gallery and pass down the
stairs in company with the Basso,
whom he cordially detested.
This was the drop too much. He
knew she was angry with him; he
could have borne that, hoping that
time would make all right; but to see
her go deliberately off with the Basso,
:1 great, coarse, hulking fellow Who
openly admired her, ,and who openly,
also. saw' a. great deal of amusement
in his (the Organ-let’s) silent adora‘t
tion! ‘
Ah, that was worst of all! The poor
fellow, his heart bursting with an
agony of remorse, jealousy and 'love,
stumbled out into the street, where the
snow was still falling softly, pityingly,
is it always falls in the streets of a
great city.
That evening‘ it was the Organist
.1 he entered the lchoir last of ,all, look- .
.ng verypale and miserable. The S0-
prano watched him out of the corner
)f her eye while he unrolled his mu-
sic, placed it on the rack and adjusted
the stops of the organ. She was in her
rayesl mood, and the choir soon
.varmed under the influence of her
ll“i imeut. Even the Tenor permitted
ll's ‘ melancholy features to become dis-
:>.t:d in a smile.
After service the choir leisurely dis-
persed, laughing and chatting good-n9;

he apparently was engaged in
,':1thering up his music. The Soprano
212111 out with the Second Soprano, of
whom she was especially fond, there-
:.y openly snubbing the over-confident
5:18:50.
But at the door she stopped with a
sudden exclamation.
“My gloves—I must have dropped
(1113111 somewhere. I will just run back
after them.” '
She slipped noiselessly up the stairs
and into the choir, deserted now save
{or the Organist, who was leaning
against the organ with his face hid-
.11311. His very attitude was so sug-
,nstive of depression that the So
pr'ano’s warm little heart melted at
once. She went up to him and touched
him softly on the arm.
He started, and turned to see a pale,
earnest face and eyes big and bright
with welling tears, lifted to his own.
“I came back,” she faltered hurried-
l-y. “I want to say I—am sorry I lost
my temper this morning. I-—I don’t
want you to feel hurt.”
She paused abruptly.
As for the Organist, after the first
dazed look of bewilderment had passed
from his face he grew positively rad-i-
ant. He was not so stupid .that he
could not define something in her face
and manner that had never been there
before. All her saucy audacity was
gone, and she was just a tender, peni-
teut woman-yes, and a loving one as
well.
“You came back!” he said, when at
last he found words and a voice with
which to utter them. “Then you do
really care something about me, after
1111!”
“Something!” she echoed with a
smile and. vivid blush.
His arm stole around her.
“A great deal?” he whispered.
“A very great deal!” the Soprano an-
swered, hiding her happy face on his
shoulder.
“Laugh and Grow Fat.”
It is said that every hearty laugh in
which a man or woman indulges tends
to prolong ‘life, as it makes the blood
move more rapidly and gives a new and
different stimulus to all the organs of
the body from what is in force at other
times. Therefore, perhaps the saying,
“Laugh and grow fat"i rs not an exag-
gerated one, but has a foundation in
fact. No truer words were ever utter-
ed than those which state so clearly:
“Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
weep, and you weep alone.” The jolly,
wholesome, happy-hearted people are
those who have most friends and see
the best that life holds out to them.—

tried did some good.
Since, however, I became interested
in the culture of sugar beets and the
use of sugar beets and forage beets for
feeding cattle, and consequently for
feeding hogs, I have had no trouble
whatever with hog cholera during the
entire autumn season when feeding
beets. _While I formerly dreaded the

summer as almost certain to produce
an outbreak of cholera. I now feel

and feed beets. Hogs should have
plenty of‘ range, and I suppose on most
farms they get this. During cold
weather they should have an abun-

fnost farms they get this also. I do
not believe that they get an abun‘

The Value of Clover.
Clover is the farmersbest friend
and most willing servant. No other
plant will produce so large a crop of
the best feed and leave the soil
richer than before. Its value as a
fertilizer lies in the fact that it oh-
tains so much of its substance, from
the air which could not be otherwise
utilized. The air is bountifully sup-
plied with nitrogen, one of the most
necessary '«and expensive elements of
plant food. Clover has the ability to
gather this nitrogen from the atmos-
phere and store it in the soil for the
growth of other plants. About 20,000
pounds of this element of- fertility are
said to be suspended above every acre
of our soil, ready to be taken up by
leguminous plants, of which clover is
the best, and transferred to the soil.
I, The use of clever as a fertilizer
should become more general than it
now is. When the entire crop is
plowed under, we get a very large
supply of food at the smallest pos-
sible cost. If the foliage is cut and
cured for hay, mach of value remains,
as the roots contain .‘a large amount
of plant food. Its worth as a green
manure has long been recognized. On
soils that are deficient- in humus,"as
clay soils are apt to be, it furnishes this
much-needed element. The cost of
seed and seeding is small, and it needs
no attention until it is' ready to turn
under. It requires no hauling or
spreading, as does barnyardmanure,
neither does it require extra machin-
ery to drill .it, like commercial fer-
tiliaer. —0. J. Viril.
. Acidity of Soils.
_ The acidity of upland soils is prob-
ably due to the removal of crops and
the use of certain fertilizers that ex-
Imus-t the lime and other basic ingrec
dients of the soil, leaving more of the
acid than would be the case were na-
ture allowed to take her course. An
acid condition of the soil therefore
results. Some plants thrive best un-
der such condition, but clover, timothy
and beets are injured on such soils.
There is no easy .way of telling to
what extent soils are acid,. but 'a
strongly marked reddening of blue lit-
mus paper indicates acidity. A dan-
gerous degree of acidity, or at least
a fatal lack of carbonate of lime, ap-
pears to exist in upland and naturally
well—drained soils and is not confined
to muck and peat swamps and very
wet lands, as mest American and
many other writers seem to assume.
S’uch assumption is because the par-
tial failure of certain crops upon these
lands has been attributed to other
reasons. These are ' the conclusions
arrived \at- by the Rhode Island ex-
periment state after several years’
work. The remedy seems to be a
generous application of air-slaked
lime. The amount applied varies from
500 to 2,000 lbs per acre, to be broad-
casred and harrowed in.—Agricultur-

Wounds from Pruning.
Wound-s made by pruning will- heal
over more readily and rapidly if
made when the tree is at its height of
summer growth. Wounds made in- the
winter are exposed to the high winds
of that season and of thespr'ing also,
and sap secreted for the purpose of
healing the wound is lost in the at-
mosphere. This should be corrected
by painting every wound of more
than one-half inch in diameter, no
~ matter when made. For this there
is nothing equal to red lead and
added will ‘give a color nearer- that of
the bark.
Thousands of trees are lost becausv
of the neglect in covering their
wounds with some substance imper-
vious to water. ——Philadelphni.1 Ledger,

TACOMA’S EARLY MQNEY.
Money that Passed as Well as Thong]
Stamped with Uncle Sam's Fiat.
Tacoma once had a mint that coined
.all of the money in circulation when
the City of Destiny now stands. ,
Back in the early seventies the Ta.
coma Mill Company, not being able tr
handily secure gold and silver for us«
in trading with and paying off thr
Indian laborers and early settlers, hll
upon the novel plan of issuing their
own currency, and to this end set their
blacksmith to work to fashion for
them, out of scraps of iron and brass
pieces of money, or rather tokens
which could be used as a circulating
medium. ‘The pieces consisted of 4C
and 45 cent iron tokens and brass $1
pieces. The 40 cent pieces were abour
an inch in diameter, and the 45 com
pieces were about the size of the pres
ent silver half-dollar. The $1 piece:
were oval in shape, about an inch and
a quarter long, an inch wide and a
sixteenth of an. inch in thickness
These pieces were stamped with the
figures showing their‘value, and read-
ily passed current all’oven the country
tributary to the mill.
Nearly all of this old
has passed away.
The coin-s which are still preserved
are roughly made. just such as any
blacksmith with, ordinary tools mighl
make, and as a matter of fact during
the early years of the mill company’s
existence formed practically the local
circulating medium of exchange
When the Indians who were employed
in the mill were payed for their labor

they did was with the little store run
in connection with the mill. The iron
and brass pieces, were, of course.
passed among the Indians in trading
with each other, and as anything in
‘ the way of supplies was purchased by
them at the mill‘store, the pieces" were
fully as good to them as if they had
