Kingi-bnry in Charlotte Oliser. ver. No word of more masterful meaning has evr been tillered by human tongue, orcarnes with it more depth ot power and great mas than opportunity. This lit tle word implies a vnstdent more than what the world has con ceived of. Opportunity, which flies from the anvil an I born with power, and the success of every young man deiiends large ly, if not entirely, upon emhra cing each golden spark of oppor t unity which flies from the anvil of time. The rising sua of each day brings opportunity to our door, and if w e do not accept it and use our energies to materi alize, then it ia our fault, and not the fault of opportunity. No man was ever born hut what op portuity presented itself in h i s life many, many tini's, and it is the man himself that builds his success in life. Thesuccess'ul man is the young man who begins right, tuking advantage of every golden apportunity offered, and striving w ii h dilligcnce and retir ing energy to reach the goal of life. Without these two requisites opportunity does not linger. These principhs are absolutely necessary to accomplish any thing, Show me a young man of energy and ambition, and I will show you a (-uccessful man. No young man should become dis -couraged because lie thinks op portunity has not knocked at his door. Be patient.youugman! Do l he work well; be honest, be upright in all dealings; be just to thy fellow-man and all things will couie to thee which w ill make thy life a blessing to thee an I thy fellow man. 1 his wo Id would be almost a Paradi-e, if all the olden opportunities which pre sent themselves in our lives were embraced. Opportunity presents itself at times to us when we see in in eh- arc fast asleep and appa rently in a world of dreams. It is onr fault and not the lack of op portunity that retards our pro gress and success in life. Thi world is not unfair to anyone. No young man can c'aim that he never has opportunities to do better. It is the fault with the man and not opportunity. The great trouble with most young men is that they are not ambitious, and therefore content themselves with the small things of life, and later in life blame faie or the lack of opportunity f o r their nousticcess, when in reality it is their fault. Wake up, young man, and be liken military guard on watch, and you will find gol den opportunityeverywhere. Re member there is notudi thing as "Opportunity knocking at a man's door only once." It is al ways knocking, knocking daily with love, knocking with power, and trying to enter the heart und soul of every one. This is the day of opportunity. Wake up, young man to the realization that this old world, every pass ing moment of time, -is offering golden opportunity which will either make you a successful and happy man, or a tniserabl lail ure. "They do me wrong who say I como no more, When once I knocked and fail ed to find you in; For every day I stand outside your door. Aud bid you wake and rise and fight and win. Wail not for precious chances iwssed away, Weep not for golden ages on the wain, Each night I burn the records ot the day. " At sunrise, every soul is born a gain. Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped, To vanquished joys bebliod,and .jleaf and dumb. My judgments seal the dead p ist with its dead. But n-ver bind a moment yet to come. Though deep in mire, w ring not your hand and weep, I lend inv nrui to all who say '1 can;' No shamefaced outcast eversank so deep, Hut yet might rise and bo again a m in. Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast? Dost thou reel from righteous retribution's blow? Then turn from blotted archives of tin- p;ist, And find the future pages white Not Sorry For Blunder.

A Missouri Farmer, David Ibin kin. ha jti-d died leaving a for tune 1 if f'l.r.no oiio which he had made out of agriculture honest ly without slavimr or niggardli ness; for he had always taken a great interest in civicaffaiis. giv en in philanthropy ns much per haps as he left, built up a poor Missouri town into a thriving municipality and endowed its college with a quarter of a mill ion. His career is of more interest to the country than that of many other men who have made even greater fortunes, in that he prov ed what brains applied to the deve'opment of our ureatest nat ural industry will accomplish. When men were pushing west ward to try their luck in the mines of the Rockies or on ran- Iches of th 'short grass country' ol Kansas, Mr. Rankin stopped in Missouri aud took up t h e more certain means of a liveli hood on the rich farming lands in the northwestern part of the State. He made hills of corn grow where none had eyergrowu before, and ncies grow in value from $10 to $1," to $73 und $100. He had fifty poor acres when he started; he had 31,000 acres capable of the highest cul tivation when lie died. In 19()(J he pi .-in ted 19,000 in corn a n d raised nearly a million bushels. He attained a world reputation as an authority on corn raising, becauss lie made it a study, and agricultural experts camj from Europe to learn his methods. What Cobtirn of Kansas said could be done, Rankin of Missou ri proved, The last census hasshown that Missouri us well as many other states has lost in rural popula tion, and there are those who complain that people leave the farms to become poor stenogra phers, poor clerks, poor some thing or other. The "isolation ami loneliness" of the country drives them to the cities, it is said. Perhaps that phase of life never bothered Mr. Rankin. In Ins early life he was too bus' to think much about it; in his lat ter years this isolation was the opening of one of the finest coun try houses in the West. He had more horses to diive than he needed: as many automobiles as he wanted; he visited Eastern cities when he felt like it ; he went to Europe when he wished. He could afford it; his income grew from nothing to $130,000 per year. It is doubtful if many of those accused of this exodus to the ctty would ever have become David Rankin. They would have been about as much failures on the farm as in the city, U-Mldes, their presence he'p-i some strug gling munieipality to keep up np pearnncrs at census takimr time. Modern farming requires brains and industry. To people thus equipped Mr. liaukin's career must appeal strongly. Agriculture, though one of the oldest, is not the most kisjhly developed of our indus tries. David Rankin did as much as aiy man has ever done to prove that business methods ap plied to it meant profit. lid studied soil and prodcts, aud he learned the advantage of rota tion of crops, He kept a set of books us complete as a bank's; he rau his farm us methodically as other men run packing hous es, railroads or manufactories, and he made it pay, The oppor tunities are greater today than when he began. There is a lot of this big country of ours out of doors, and it developed agricul turally is one industry that is pot overdone. Th Ttsa at The role. HI. (nix lb-public. - If a man could live at the north pole through 100 days he would be 100 years old, for a year at the pole is made up of just one day and one niuhr. About the Ulst day of March the sun peeps above the horizon, but not in the e.ist, for to the man on th po'o there is no east, or west or north. There is no where to go but south. A few days later the sun is apparently rolling around oa the horiz n tor the entire twenty-four hours. Without a time piece the man at the pole could not distinguish the 20ih day of March from the 30lh of March. To paraphrase a popular saying, all the days iu the calander look alike to him. After apparently rollinif over the horizon for sixty or seventy hours the sun, always iu full view, begins a slowly ascending spiral until it reaches an altitude ol twenty-three und a half de grees. There are ninety degrees from the hoiizon to the zenith, and twenty-three and a half are considerably less than a third of ninety degrees. So the man at the pole doesn't have to lean backward to gaze at the midday sun. After some two or three days at its greatest altitude the sun begins a slowly descending spiral course, and about the middle ol September it is again rolling a nuind the horizon, aud a few hours later, at the last edge of it disappears below the horizon, night ensues a night that lasts from Sept 21 until the fol low ing March 21. The man at the pole sees all the stars in tlie northern half of the celestial firmament at one time. He does not have to wait fur the revolution of the earth on the axis to bring any of them into view. But he can never see many of the stars we see, just as we stay at homers are never able to Bee the Southern Cross and other constellations ot the south era celestial hemisphere. The moon visits the man at the pole and keeps him company for weeks, circling the horizon just as the sun did, but a lower alti tude. The north star, P ilaris, is al most directly overhead. It is a degree and a Ir ietion,you know, out of true north. At (lie pole all meridians of longitude meet. So to describe one's position there no longitude is necessary only latitude 90 de grees. The north pole of the compass points south at the north pole So. indeed, does the South p ile uf the compass, for south is the only direction away Ironi the north pole. The stars appear brighter, a star of one magnitude less than can be seen in the United States being easily visible in the arctic regions. No rotation of the earth takes place at the poles So if Mr. Man was at the equator he would be turning with the earth a the rata ol over a thousand miles an hour, while il at thetxact pole he would not turn at a'l or at most, if he stood stock still for twenty four hours, he himself would rotate just once. The pole is the nearest point oa the surface of the earth to the center of the earth. Consequent ly on leaving the pole one would have to be contiuuaily marching up hill. For this same reason things weigh heavier at the pole thau anywhere else on the sur face of the earth. DR. BELL'S ANTI-PAIN For Internal and External Paint. Why should not a baker becol lege bred. Hlpr. Tboufh Married. Chicago Journal. "The mere fact that anyone in Hie United Slates with a legiti mate grievance can get a divorce proves that the gieat majority who stay married are huppy" says the editor of the American Suffragette. Her doctrine appears to be sound. Those cynics who constant!? harp upon thclaxnessof married ties, and condemn American wo men as spendthrifts and lazy, are mure familiar with the inside of lobster places than the i-iside of the average American home. P.ig cities, it is true, have a ten dancy to destroy home life, and do not offer the best opportuni ty for bringing up children either from the moral or physical stand point. Rut the flat-house holds just as large u percentage ol hap py homes as can be found am ong dwellers in towns, villages, or open country. The human brain craves a cer tain amouut of amusement, but it is the occasional, and not the a vi rage, woman that loves the bright lights and the crash of music better thuu than tbeirown home. Half the divorces are due to hasty and ill-con.-idered action, with no cause that a period of reflection and calm considera tion would not find trivial. Fre quently, mistaken pride and the advice of foolish friends are to blame for fanning some petty disagreement into a home de stroying tire.
