Cole’s article in a recent issue of the St. Paul Dispatch crit- icizing the work of the forestry pro- moters, The settler is a man who knows. * He does not depend entirely upon soil aualysis, this practical tiller of the soil, though the modern settler knows something about the chemis- try of agriculture.

The forestry. premoters, most of whom never turned a furrow or 1 ned anything about agriculture except by the perusal of essays and text books written by persons often equally ignorant of true conditions, are free with their assertions that the country around Cass and Leech Jakes is unfit for agriculture. Mr. Cole -tinally charges such as these with treason to the state and many farmers in northern Minnesota will second his accusation. The for- estry promoters are striving hard to convince congress that the lands in the late reservations are untit for any purpsse except forest growths, but fortunately pioneer farmers on the ground, and there are many of them, give testimony to the opposite effect. And these witnesses are not} } book farm dreamers or poets | whose creed is, “Woodman, spare | that tree,’ but meu of muscle, pluck | and brains, who speak from exper- ience, because they are successfully engaged in digging farms out of! this same land. < the settler, not the theoret- ical farmer.”?

They say: Gumption is the ability to put the grease Where the squeak is. Isn’t that the basis of power? Dewey had gumption wien he cut the cable. Sv did the veteran fire chief in the Baltimore tire when he called through his trumpet: ‘There will be h—i to pay if the fire gets into that rosin, If enough of you will fullow me, we'll go in there and dump the whole outfit into the bay.” The} men Caught his spirit, followed—and saved Kast Baltimore. It does nut always take age to des } Velop gumption; itis boro in a man and often shows at an early age, as in the case of two boys. They had no | father and no income, but wanted to} go to High school. ‘Their older | brother, amember of the large tiim which he bad entered as ofticeboy at} 12, saw no need for further education. | He had succeeded without it and why not they? aud he thought 1b was high time for them to be earning th eir own living. The boys decided thatit wouldu’t be any harder to} stay up at oneend of the night than the other, so they worked on a worn- ing paper route which eventually netted them $100 per month. They solved the problem by earning theic own living and going to school, too. That's putting the grease where the squeak is! Every great man achieved his own greatness. To be great is to work out the strength within you, not to wear the cloak of power. The word gumption is peculiarly American. It names the quality in us which makes for success and Progress. Wherever the American is he should have gumption, be should be stronger than the obstacle that con- fronts him. It was the ability to see what his country needed that made Lincoln, our grandest American, tower over the Little Giant; it was the ability to carry out what he saw was needed that made Lincoln equal to all emer- yencies.

Japanese women, for all their pret- ty. listlessness of carriage and man- ner, are beginning to take an inter- est fn athletic sports. An American woman tells how she -played ° tennia in Japan with native women. “It is wonderful how agile they are,” she said, “and it certainly is a most extraordinary sight to see them playing in the regular Japanese dress, the pretty soft silk robe so. associated with reclining ease, and the thick soled sandals. “You can't imagine the effect of the sunlight on the sheen and gor- geous hues of the silken dress. Of course, the serve and return of the balls sends the gayly. costumed little ladies into the prettiest of posturing. They look like flowers lightly blow- ing about the court. “The thick-soled sandals are not hard to run in. Indeed, I was assur- ed they were most comfortable for | the sport. > “Some of the Japanese ladies I met set up a strong enough game to play with their husbands, who en- | joyed the imported game immensely.” A Ballade of the True Pcet.

Auringer in Boston Pilot. “Glamor.” By the way, i wonder what the poets fancy the word “glamor” means?’ With one accord they use it as if it signified something in external nature uppealing very pleasantly to the sense of sight. “I walked in a glamor of gold and of golden leaves,” says one of them in a magazine. The word “glamor” is obsolete in the vocabu- lary of ordinary mortals, but the die- tionaries teil us that it denoted some sort of defect of vision, causing the victim to see things differently from the reality, probably glaucoma or oph- thalmia, which in primitive times was ascribed to witchery. This was point- ed.out long ago, but the periodical bards go on using, or misusing, the word in the same old way.—Roches- JEFFERSCN Af!D T.:E COW. | Actor's Audi Tongue.

Au Faculties Not Sufficiently Exer- cised Is One Reason. Faculties must be exercised or they will not grow. Nature is too good an economist to allow us to keep any faculty or function which we do not employ. We can have just what we use, and that will constantly increase; everything else will be | gradually taken away from us. Man becomes strong and powerful and broad just in proporiion to the extent and health- fulness of the activity of his faculties; and it must not be one-sided, not an exercise of one or two faculties, or one set of faculties, or the man will topple over. Balance in life comes frown the healthful exercise of all the faculties. One reason why we have so many one- sided men in this country is because they pursue one idea, exercise one side (of their nature, and, of course, they | cannot retain their balance. This is one of the curses of specialties. They are a good thing for the race, but death to the irdividual who pursues | his specialty at the expense of the de- velopment of the all-around man.—Q. S. Marden in “Suce Magazme.” Many American boys and girls visit Europe nowadays, but perhaps few | even of these fortunate young folk are aware that the greatest of Eng: fish cities contains memorials io five distinguished Americans—a President, @ patriot, a poet, a preacher, and a philanthropist. These five great men are Abraham Lincoln, James Russell Lewell, Henry Wadsworth Longfel- low, Matthew Simpson and George Peabody—five names written high in the Hall of Fame, names immortal in life and letters, names forever illus- _trious in character and achievement. - *
