I have worked and I have wait ed. I have kept myself free from, eel fnthuesH. I have striven with all niy I might to deserve esteem. 1 have put forth a hand to help v herever 1 might. 1 have not asked for favors. 1 have endeavored to be honest. I have had the wish to he good, to he (dean, to he just. My ambition has l»e»»n that 1 might lx* useful to the World. I have Imped to make myeell worth while. 1 have been patient. 1 have worked m the shadows unobserved and seen others sm-, gted out for honors. 1 have kept from lmting them. 1 have tried to believe they were more deserving than 1. With nil my might, with all my heart, with nil my soul, I have done my best. Hut the world has not eared. M v rewards have been lew and small. I remain unnoticed and un known.

Thus too many of us. perhaps, are living in yearly pe riods, as it were, when we should be living by the day, making each day a distinct mile stone in the journey of life and profiting to day by the mistakes and failures ot vesterdav. —Albany Herald.

Commander Peary’s storv, tell-• I :ug, as it does, tin* determined i<ju- —t of thC Arctic grail, embod-j n-s adventure, romance and trage dy. In a graphic, compelling 'manner I’.-ary tells of Ins last, journey through the graveyard of the Arctic on his way to the Hole, as follows: I “Several hundred miles beyond i I the Arctic <'ircle we came to a, most significant point in our up ward journey, marking, as it did, . !1 ho gritunes* <>l the task before j as.

Chicago.—The Knifed States i has SBO,OtK).(KX),*MH) invested in ! farm lands, farm buildings, ma ehinerv arid live -nock, according •: to a census, the results of which i hove just been made public in the Orange Judd F’urnier. FTom i ,OtX),OOO in ISoO, the number of farms has increased to nearly i 7,000,(HK) in 1900 and Hie report adds: “No such lncf'-ase in agricul : tural land vabu s was ever known before in the history of the world Jin any* country. Fhe value of farms in the Knited States has ; increased 11 percent more than lin 1900, the figures of that year showing an increase of P 5 per cent over tlie previous decade.” The most remarkable figures presented show that the western section, which includes New Mex ico, Colorado, Wyoming, Mon tana and other states, has within tin* last ten years ‘shown an in crease in the number of limits of 100 per cent. At the same time the value has increased 98 per cent and the products PI 1 per c.*nt. Values of farms in the south central states have increased 7)8 per cent and in the north central .states 48 per cent. In the north j Atlantic states t here has licet)-an | increase in value of R! per cent I and in the south Atlantic states tan increase of 84 per cent. GREAT NATIONAL PROBLEM, One need not share .1. .1. Hill’s gloomy view that “high cost, of ] living is the beginning of every : national decline” that it is now and here in America a great, and grave national issue. There is no question as to tin J facts. Bradst reel’s “index I ; of commodity prices shows at: > tv . -rage rise of of, per cent in t htr i teen years in the price of the ne cessaries ot lit.*.
