LOVE’S DEAREST MOMENT.
Lovo’a dearest moment is not whon the hands
Are clasped in marriage and the world looka on,
Noryot whon all this importunate world has
gone.
And flaming passion like the Archangel stands
Between two Boula and welds with flro the bandB
Of impotent human law, nor whon alono
Upon the morrow, they end love are one.
Triune and chrlsmed pure, os God’s commands;
It is not in the many morrow’s track
While love by loving grows more rich and wise,
Till age counts up love’s wondrous, wondrous
sum.
Love’s dearest moment is far back, far back—
When first they looked within each other s eyes
And In the silence knew that love was come.

Posterity Pays.
Dr. C. W. Saleeby, in Youth'. 1 ! Companion.
There is a price of war that is more
important, more dreadful, more unjust,
and that takes far longer to pay than
any other, and it is a price also that
has to be paid in the only real wealth,
which ie life. The mere question as to
who wins the war has nothing to do
with it. The question who was right
or wrong, who began it, who gained or
lost territory, who paid tribute to
whom when peace was declared, how
taxes rose and fell, which industries
prospered or which decayed—all these
questions are negligible when compared
with the longest price of war, which
all fighting nations have paid and must
pay.
All the prices of war fall most heav
ily uponthe future. Great Britain still
pays heavy taxes every year for the
Boer War and other wars of the past,
right and wrong, glorious and inglo
rious. But the longest price of war is
wholly paid by future generations, and
hurts the future only. The people who
live in the years to come get none of
the glory for which rulers now wage
war; -they are at the mercy of the past
which did not consult them, but which
makes them pay.
There is a fact of life called heredity,
which plays a dreadful part in deter
mining the longest price of war. Ac
cording to the laws of heredity we are
all largely dependent upon what our
ancestors were for what we can be;
consequently, the future of any race
depends upon the quality of those who
become its fathers and mothers. That
is true not only of human beings, but
of all living things.
Some have found in this theory an
argument for war. They maintain
since life advances by struggle and sur
vival, strong nations must crush weak
ones if the future of mankind is to be
strong. None of the champions of war
who declare that peace corrodes and ruins
nations have thought about the matter
deeply enough to learn that the argu
ment they quote is the most fatal to
their own horrible creed. For the
truth is, that war brings about “re
versed selection”—in which the best
are chosen to be killed, and the worst
are preserved to become the fathers of
the future.
Rome and France furniBh illustrations
of this awful truth. The greatest em
pire of the ancient world was Rome.
When she had conquered all her ene
mies she fell. Ever since then think
ers and historians have sought the rea
son. To-day there are many who be
lieve that it has been found. Rome
was always fighting. She had far and
wide frontiers, which must ever be de
fended. The defense needed the beet
men she had, and got them. A great
German historian. Prof. Seek, says that
in Rome, out of every hundred thou
sand strong men, eighty thousand were
slain, and that out of every hundred
thousand weaklings ninety to ninety-
five thousand were left to survive.
The Roman Empire perished for want
of meo, says the great English histori
an, Sir John Seely; and when the living
foundations of empire , thus decayed,
all the. r’eBt came down with a crash.
The-descendants of the vigorons race
that'had '«jiiq'fi«red‘ thq jtnpjyn worl<I
apeqt-Aheir time shouting for bread and
games.’'‘The laws of heredity were not
at fault; the vigorous, in fact, bad
died, and it was the rejected, those un
fit to be Roman soldiers, that stayed at
home and became the Roman fathers of
a nation whose course was run.
It is not until the storm comes that
we find out the real timaer of the
ship.
With Poorer Resources, New
England Has Beaten Us.
Tho Prosresolvo Fnrmor.
Because Massachusetts has been a
leader in education, a pre-eminent lead
er in thrift, and has set the world an
example in local self-government; be
cause of these three things she has be
come and has long been rich and power
ful, as I have said, without even natu
ral advantages. There was boastful
ness shout it that I didn’t like, but I
had to acknowledge in my heart that
he was telling tho Lord’s truth—in the
main—when a prominent New Eng
lander said to me; "In natural re
sources the South has us beaten utterly
beyond comparison—Infinitely richer in
soilB, climate, mines, and general re
sources—but our section has beaten
yours simply by the thrift and enter
prise of our people.’’ !
Of course, the protective tariff has
helped commercial New England at the
expense of the agricultural South, and
New England was fortunately free
from the ravages of war that so long
handicapped our Southern country, but
in spite of these things our greater
natural resources ought to have en
abled us to beat New England anyhow.
But we haven’t. In fact, instead of
beating her, we have hardly more than
half caught up with her. The new
United States Government census vol
umes on "Wealth, Debt and Taxation”
remind me that the per capita wealth
in Massachusetts ie $1,806, whereas in
North Carolina it is $794; in South
Carolina, $869; in Georgia, $883; Ala
bama, $964; Mississippi, $726; and Ten
nessee, $864. Arkansas, Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Texas make a better
showing than the States mentioned,
though Oklahoma alone among the
Southern StateB reaches the Massachu
setts figure for per capita wealth.
What Children Need Now.
In spite of the best care mothers can
give them this weather bring sickness

Undoubtedly home-ownership for all
is the ideal, but we recognize that the
ideal can never be wholly attained in
this imperfect world. There are al
ways going to be plenty of young men
who must work as tenants before they
can become landowners, and there will
always be many who will remain ten
ants ail their lives. There iB no rea
son, therefore, why the man who
makes himBelf an expert in good farm
ing methods cannot make money by
getting good tenants and directing
them into the most profitable lineB of
farm work and farm management.
What the South needs, therefore, is to
be rid of this sort of landlord of the baser
sort, who, giving no attention to the
sort of farming hiB tenants do, giving
no attention to the maintenance of soil
fertility, is interested only in getting
profits through an increase in the
speculative value of land, or in the
virtual robbery of tenants through
extortionate prices charged them for
supplies. — The Progressive Farmer.

DYER, TENN., MAN

J. T. Castleman Finds Hope Fulfilled

"My boys hays recently been mak
ing a pond for summer boating, bath-
ing and fiBhlng,” said a subscriber to
us the other day, "and I consider it a
mighty good investment. Too many
farmerd fail to sympathize with their
boys’ desire for recreation, and then
wonder why they do not like farm
work.” Another farmer some time
ago gave us this experience: "I give
my boys Saturday afternoons off for
baseball, and they work 38J per cent,
better.”—The Progressive Farmer.
The Wsxhaw Enterprise, after in
vestigating the subject, has decided
that farmers have about the same at
titude toward reducing cotton acreage
that the man in the story had toward
reducing the Bize of his meals. His
doctor bad advised him to eat less, so
he went to his wife and said: “The
doctor says that I mustn’t eat so
much. So instead of cooking me twen
ty biscuits in the morning, don’t make
me but nineteen; but make them just a
little bit bigger.”—The Progressive
Farmer.
There is a Real Difference
Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food,
