Historical Society State House HE VOLUME IX FORT WAS FIRED UPON! Sergeant Sanders Swears the Fire Came from Brownsville and Not from The "shooting up" of Brownsville, Texas, was in the form of an attack upon the garrison at Fort Brown, according to the testimony given by Mingo Sanders, former first sergeant of Company B of the Twenty-fifth infantry, before the Senate committee on military affairs. Sanders said that while running from his quarters to company B's barracks after being awakened by the firing on the night of August 13, the shooting was going on and it came from the town and was toward the hospital on the military reservation. This is the first direct testimony given by any of the discharged Negro soldiers that the fire came from the town. At the afternoon session Sergeant Mingo Sanders resumed his testimony. He said he had nothing to do with the shooting, did not know anyone who had, did not suspect anyone, and had made a diligent inquiry among the men to find out what they knew and has been unable to get any information. He declared that there was no conspiracy of silence. Sanders was cross examined by Senator Warren. He repeated that many of the shots came from the town, and that he reported this fact to Major Penrose, although it did not appear in his evidence taken by Captain Lyons. He had not stated this to anyone, as he had not been asked about it, and did not volunteer information. "I am looking after Sanders first," said he. Sanders stated that there were about nine guns out of the company racks on the night of the shooting, but they were all accounted for. Woman." Woman! What a word! No language is complete without it. Woman—man's mother. Woman, man's hope, and without her this old earth would roll into eternity without the melody of God. This magic word, woman, makes the world akin and her inhabitants brothers. The world pays homage to pure womanhood and without her pure society the earth would become a barren waste without a single oasis. First we would ask, "Where would you look for pure womanhood?" Would it be in society's shrine? Would it be where strains of music float from vaulted and frescoed ceilings of the mansions of the rich? Would you halt at the door of the fashionable ball room and inquire if "pure womanhood," which is the greatest treasure on earth, dwelt there? Would you visit the mansion of the millionaire expecting to find pure womanhood? No, never! The pure woman is the greast and grandest jewel on earth. I do not say that there are no pure women to be found in any of these places just mentioned, for it would be a mistake, for there are some to be found, but few compared to the innumerable host that frequent and abide therein. Some may say it was just luck more than anything else that they have retained their purity, but I believe it was by the providence of God and by the prayers of some dear old mother who had placed her trust in God, that they are saved. The storm comes and lays her destructive bands upon the virgin forest and it is twisted and born from side to side. The sturdy old oak is rent from its abode, but by the side of this sturdy oak, whose roots have penetrated deep into the earth stood the frail and delicate clim, was not touched by the storm. We stand amazed at such a spectacle, but cannot account for it. We can only exclaim, "God's ways are most wonderful to behold." So it is with that frail and tender girl, who places herself in reach of "society's whirlwind" and withstands the tempest. She may emerge from that furious tornado unharmed, but what a miraculous escape she has made. Moral and profane history teaches us that home is woman's sphere. There are some who think money makes pure womanhood, regardless of what their actions may be. It is a laudable ambition to strive in an honorable way to be the possessor of money, as man's pleasures are limited only to his exertions to obtain the necessities of life. But money can't buy the sweet pleas-of pure womanhood. Woman is so securely wrapped about the hearts of mankind that you can not separate them. Woman is the most noble work of God. Where shall we find the pure woman? We behold her as she leaves the rocklessness of society's throng and takes her flight from the clang and artificial life. We follow her to the humble cottage where the scent of wild flowers floats in through the windows. This is where the contented mother site and her children prattle about her; here is where pure womanhood is found. Mothers, if you have daughters and sons, in the name of the Lord, keep them with you at home. It takes pure mothers to make pure daughters. Woman! Oh, what a name! What would the universe do without thee, woman! Thou art a Moses to lead the nation out of society's shame. Woman, thou art the angel to breathe the spirit of virtue into the minds of our daughters. Thou art the one to plant the seed of manhood deep down in the hearts of our sons. Thou art the one to smite the painted cheek of society's hag. Woman, within thy hand rests the fate of the future generation. Wake up, mothers, well do we know thou art able to perform thy task well. Take in thy hands the destiny of the nation's young and with the stroke of virtue paralyze everything that is wrong. Mothers, stand firm, stand for pure womanhood; pure womanhood, that cannot be bought for silver nor gold. No, never can pure womanhood be bought for gold. Pure women make pure men. Stand as the giant oak in the forest unharmed by the storm. QUINDARO. KANS. Quindaro is being peopled rapidly and the colored people are very industrious. A number of buildings have gone up recently. In a quiet and unassuming way the problems of life are being solved by buying houses and entering more largely into those things which concern our people as a whole. The Quindaro Band is doing some good work, under the leadership of Prof. Jackson of Topeka. It is, beyond doubt, one of the best colored bands in the state. Hev. Griffith, pastor of the A.M. E. church, has lately purchased an excellent dwelling in one of the most beautiful parts of Quindaro. Mr. Everett, an old resident, is on the sick list. TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 15 1907 Great Debate at Gridiron Dinner---President Says "All Coons Look Alike to Me"--- Foraker Says "All Persons Look Alike to Me." All Washington is aged with the revelations and accounts of what is considered one of the greatest debates—bound to become historic which ever took place in the city. Never before, and perhaps never again will it happen, has a debate taken place between the President of the country and a United States Senator, each facing the other before a select audience composed of the biggest man of the nation, who are annually the guests of the Grida iron club. The speeches delivered at these annual functions are never reported, yet so unusual was this scene, so remarkable was the contest and so badly worsted was the President, that accounts have leaked out and been published in the Washington Post, Star, Pittsburgh Dispatch and other papers which were not pledged to secrecy, all accounts including those of persons with whom your correspondent has talked, who were present at the dinner, agreeing that Senator Foraker in cloquent terms gave the President a severe drubbing, challenging him to give one reason that would stand justifying his course. On taking his seat the guests applauded so tremendously that it was a long time before the President, standing to reply with uplifted hands and gritted teeth, could be heard. President Roosevelt, being called upon, violated what all have considered the best of Gridiron hospitality by attacking one of its guests and at once launched into a defence of his policy in the Brownesville affair, in discharging 107 colored soldiers from the army, without a trial or hearing. He said that he had the power, he exercised it; and that the discussion which has been going on in the Senate was and is purely academic; it could and would have no practical results; and that some Senators were influenced by selfish motives of desiring the support of the colored voters. "But," said he, "all coons look alike to me." He asserted that he believed that there should be one law for the rich and poor alike. On taking his seat all eyes were turned upon the Senator from Ohio. Upon being called upon, Senator Foraker hurled his eloquence directly at the President. He said the President would discover that the Brownsville discussion was not purely academic, that it had a significance that would be realized and a result that would be accorded. "He, the Senator, intended to express his opinion on the floor of the Senate, ignoring dictation from whatever source," said one of the guests of the evening, in the Washington Post. "Mr. Blythe, the toastmaster called on Senator For aker for a reply, for he evidently felt that, since there were many Senators present and the Ohio man personally had been the target for some of Mr. Roosevelt's shafts, it was the appropriate thing to call on him "The Senator boldly accepted the President's challenge. Personally I believe he would not have selected such a time or place for an encounter with the President, but as he had been attacked he had a right to defend himself. I have heard Mr. Forsker in the Senate on many occasions, but I have never seen him to better advantage than he did on Saturday night. He was truly eloquent, and gave the President the plainest talk he has probably ever listened to. I did not look at his hand, but I think he had on one-ounce gloves. His blows were hard and landed with great force. To the Ohio man the President of the United States looked the name as any other individual. In a word, the President was only a citizen. "He first told Mr. Roosevelt that he would discover by the time the Senate concluded its investigations of the Brownsville case that the discussion in the Senate had been more than academic, and ventured to predict that the result would prove it. Then he read the President a lecture, which those who heard it will never forget. It was one of the most complete excoriations I ever heard. Possibly the sting of the President's remarks was intensified by the knowledge that the friends of the administration in Ohio are trying to destroy him politically, although that is merely surmise on my part. Apparently he was inspired only by his indignation. He declared with great dramatic effect, that his oath of office was an sacred to him as was the President's to him, and that no preachments from the White House were essential to the proper performance of his duty as a Senator. He gradually worked up to a splendid climax, declaring, with arms outstretched towards the President: "No one in this country ever loved the President more than I did. No one ever fought harder or more loyally for him. That was when he was right. But wrong, I have opposed him, and shall always do so. That is the way I see my duty to my conscience, my constituents and my country, and I am glad I am able to say this in the presence of our distinguished Chief Magistrate. The people of my own state know I do my duty as I see it, and they know, as I myself have told them, that they can retire me if they believe I have a misconception of it." "Senator Foraker at his best, in ringing tones reviewed the Brownsville episode; and his deductions that the final record of the case would be rightly adjudged, was in a vein of withering rebuke. He referred to the case of Sergt. Mingo Sanders, 26 years in the service in the U. S. army, faithful and efficient, his record one of such valor that he had received medals of honor, with not an army officer believing him guilty—yet he was discharged 'without honor' by the President, denied the protection of a hearing, a trial, or due process of law. 'The President and I agree as to the theory of the law, but differ as to its application. 'Not all coons look alike to me'; but all persons look alike to me.' As the Senator concluded his eloquent peroration with a wave of his hand towards the President the ap lause was loud, some of the guests minging and cheering. Twice the President attempted to still the applause, but the land clapping continued, to the embarrassment of the President and part of his reply was drowned in the noise of the applause before he could command attention. So sensational was this encounter and to add spice, the guests were unusually numerous and interesting including Vice-President Fairi banks. Speaker Cannon, J. Pierpont Morgan, H. W. Rogers, Secretaries Root, Taft, Straus, Wilson, and a score of Senators and Representatives—that the dinner broke up before the last three courses were served, and with five speakers yet to be heard from, so anxious were the dinners to congratulate Senator Foraker, who was surrounded by a levee, while the President withdrew with a few friends. What Next? A dispatch from Independence, Kansas, says: Judge A. B. Yeager assistant in the office of Probate Judge Swatzell was recently called upon to unite in the bonds of wedlock a white man and a black woman, or at least a very pronounced mulatto. The judge was slightly taken back when the wants of the couple were made known to him, but got through with the required ceremony in good shape. The contracting parties were Henry C. Cramer and Constance Benson, who live near Liberty. Cramer in a white man and a blonde while his bride is a mulatto, with the features of a Negro quite pronounced. In taking a white man for her husband she is but following the example of her mother, who married a New Yorker and a pure blood Caucasian. The two settled in Liberty township about thirty years ago and have resided there ever since. It is the general supposition that there is a law in Kansas, as there is in most states, forbidding such marriages, but attorneys say that it is not the case. An attempt was made to pass a law of that kind at the last legislative session, but the general need for it was not apparent and it failed. MANHATTAN, KAS.

W Wilson, of Junction City, Kannah, is visiting with her daughter, Mrs. M. L. Meadows and will return home by way of Chetopa, to visit her lodge and friends. Miss Ethel Frazer, who has been staying with her grandmother, on West 11th street, has gone to visit her mother at Chetopa. Mr. Starkie was sent to Topeka on business for the Local. Mrs. Thomas Starkie is on the sick list. Members. Pritchett and Jones, of Fleming, made a business trip to Bettles. NUMBER 7 KANSAS WILL FEEL THE BLOW! Foolish Attack of Law-makers Upon Railroads Will Be Keenly Felt by What fools these Kansas lawmakers seem to be. We think the legislating body of Kansas at this session is doing more to injure the good name of Kansas than the grasshoppers and the flood. There are a very few of those who are agitating the two-cent fare and a great reduction in freight rates who know anything about railroads, or what it costs to operate these great competing lines. It seems to have become common for everybody to take a whack at the railroads. There are great expenses connected with the operating of these lines from the fact that there is so much responsibility for which the company is liable, cases of deaths from accidents and other causes, slack business, in sparsely settled territories through which hundreds of miles of railroads pass which do not pay for the fuel used in the engine. Take into consideration the condition of Kansas some twenty-five years ago, comparing it with today, when railroads have been built through most of the entire state, bringing prosperity and happiness to those who for years were starving on their claims. It is the railroads that furnished passes to these people, enabling them to go to other places to earn a living and hold the claims which have since become quite valuable, and their owners rich. The railroads have reduced the rates from time to time to less than two cents to enable immigrants to come to the valuable country of Kansas that was sparsely settled, thereby encouraging these immigrants to locate and invest their money in land with those who had homesteads, thereby assisting to further improve the country. The railroads employ thousands of people in Kansas, paying millions of dollars to sustain them. The railroads are the life of Kansas, and the people should appreciate it. They are heavy tax payers, and we are informed that they pay one-third of the taxes of this great state. This being true, they have as much right in politics as the individual, or others who are spending money and taking chances on making money. If those who are opposing the railroads, the officers of the roads and the Board of Railroad Commissioners would get together these differences could be ironed out without this great agitation, which is driving capital, labor and home-seekers from this "Domestic Kansas". If, as we say, this agitation is kept up there will be a panic in the state within six years; for the people who have capital will not invest it in a state that is always standing over a human volcano, waiting to upheave every successful enterprise that shows signs of progress. Of course, the railroads want to make money, and likewise their boardholders, the farmers and stock farmers as well as grain men, and are proving that they are making money from the fact that railroads have opened great facilities, where one can place products on market within 24 hours after putting on board a train. We think the people of Kansas should not forget that the railroads have suffered great losses from wrecks in recent years and it requires considerable time to get back to a good enough footing to enable them to build double tracks to lessen danger to life.

JONES, 499 Kansas sve, Torria Kanee The Plaindealer with its painful duty is forced to announce the death of D. Hicks, who departed this life 10b 2nd at 9 o'clock, 12 minutes. It is said that Mr Hicks came to this country from Nashville, John, some forty old years ago. Being very shroud and infustions, he was always quick to note and catch every opportunity that presented itself for my elevation that tended toward the Negro. On the 29th day of November Mr. Hicks began complaining of his side. A few days later he took to his bed, and after wrestling with his many pains, he grew worse and finally succumbed. The most skilled doctors were called, but none did him good. He suffered untold musts and passed away quietly. In 1851 the first wife of D. Hicks died. They fortunately were spared to raise ten children, eight of whom are left to mourn than lost parents and meet the comebacks and disappointments of this world. In the business circle he was very energetic, willing at all times to run any business that was of interest to his race. Along the social line and among his associates he was very pleasant and always played his part. Mr. Hicks is dead, but among his many friends his kind deeds will never die. At the A.M. D. church Mr. Hick will be greatly missed, as he was to die and mourn of the chin, known as one of the last in the church of Rev. J. H. be attending, should Wall Lawrence come, A. Hicks is working for A. D. Johnson; the rest of the chil dawn are in mind, but those are off enough to care for themselves. It is hoped that peace and quietness may accompany them through life, and that goodness may follow the dear wife all his life. The funeral services were held at the A.M. Church, conflucted by Rev. A. G. Washington. O call my father back to me, I can not stay alone; The summer comes with flowers and bee, Where is my father gone? The flowers run wild, the flowers we sow Around our garden trees; Our vines are dropping with their loll, To call him back to me. He might not hear thy voice, dear child, He may not come to thue. The face that once like summer smile On earth no more should see. And he he left his birds and flowers And must I call in vain, And through the long, long summer hours Will he not come again? Yes by the brook and in the glade Are all our wonders oir, O while my father with me stayed Would I had loved him more W. H. Venters was in town Tuesday on business. Mrs. R D Blackwell made a flying trip to Kansas, Tuesday. Rev. J. C. Hulks came in from Wal- herface, Ohio, Monday, to pay his last respects to his father. Mrs. Laudenda Barber, aged 69 years, died Tuesday morning at 5:27 o'clock of heart trouble, at her home 609 Second Avenue. She had been all about a year and had been a member of the Good Smaratians Dodge for a number of years. Mr. John Taylor is quite sick at his home on Fifth Avenue. Friends are hoping for his recovery soon. The N. A. G. Club will meet with Mrs. S. W. Bell Wednesday the 6th, 744 Kickamau Street. Mrs. Miss Cooper is very sick. Miss Lillie Wellings, who has been continued to her room for the past month, is still in a critical condition. B V Wilson has been continued to his room for the past three days with a cubicle on his hand. Mrs M C Peek, of Lopak, is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A Peek, this week. Chaise Dillard is in poor health. Chaise Dillard is no better. John Robinson, who had a severe attack of lockjaw last Tuesday, is better Rev. L. L. Woodson, of Leavanton, Ill. has adopted a call as pastor of the Second Baptist Church. Rev Woodson gave good references and we believe him to be a good Christian worker and a gentleman in every way. He left Wednesday for his home in Leavanton, Ill. He will return Friday and bring his family with him. The Second Baptist Sunday School Teachers' Meeting will meet at the home on Miss Daisy N.

There are than any other thing of man's hand-own. It is said there are no two things in nature exactly alike, and so with poultry houses no two are alike. But the kind of poultry house is in material. Every man may build to suit his purpose and his fancy and get good results if proper attention is paid to other details. We are not arguing against the building of warm, commodious houses, but we do say that the lack of a poultry house built in accordance with the latest ideas of advanced poultry house construction is not fatal to success with poultry. We have seen a fair degree of profit made from houses that had only the earliest excuse of a poultry house for shelter. With the same man (or woman) and best equipment, it is likely that greater "cockling" is as fatal to the best test with poultry as too little. The ten house should be given due consideration. Whether it is a thousand of their building or a hay shed, it must be cared for in such a manner as to keep it clean. The cleanliness is of more importance than most persons think. Some people think if their poultry house is "cleaned out" once or twice a year that has done their full duty. The poults don't seem to mind standing or scratching in their own extremes, so why should the poultry house be cleaned out often if a result is that and people fail in its duty as they should. WHO IS TO THRIVE IN PRIVATE NETWORKS ON THE poultry house is unpleasant. It is a want to see a place that laterally swaps with a min go into an old poultry house that is tall or narrow. Mites and they are the home of the poultry can keep the poultry and poultry houses free from them and the probabilities are that your owls will be to the right of it. We do not tell that the healthy human body is not subject to disease, it is only when some part is weaken that the points of disease are able to thrive. We believe that there is much truth in the statements and we believe that it applies equally well to poultry as to man. Mites and bee are living parasites. They exist by sucking the blood of their victims. The fowl, weakened by the loss of blood drawn by the mites are readily susceptible to any disease that happens along. By keeping the poultry house clean and free from mites and the your towels will be more healthy and hardy. Clean the poultry house once a week or once every two weeks at least. Clean it thoroughly. Use plenty of lime and sulphur, plenty of whitewash and insect powder. What if you have to spand a ball or so? You will get it back many toll. Change the litter in the scratching and frequently or it will become foul and the bleeding place of faith and certain light and ventilation are requisite to poultry houses but are not more at train through cleanliness. Poultry Manual. Great care should be exercised at the droppings of the farm poultry be allowed to go to waste. Besides being one of the highest manures produced on the farm, it wastes very rapidly. Horse manure is generally recognised as one of the most valuable of the farm manures, yet compared to it poultry manure is three times as rich in nitrogen, six times as rich in phosphoric acid, and one and one half times as rich in potash. The importance of saving all of the poultry droppings must be easily apparent. More care must be exercised to save these droppings without loss than most other manures. Owing to its comparative dryness it ferments rapidly and much of the nitrogen is volatilized and escapes unless some preservative is added to it to present it. One of the best plans is to spread it direct about as rapidly as it is made and stir it at once into the soil. Or it may be mixed with the absorbents and manures obtained from the other farm animals, which will prevent its too rapid fermentation. Owing to its extreme richness, care must be taken not to spread it too thickly on cultivated ground less it cause the crop to "burn out." For a top dressing for garden truck light applications of poultry dressing thoroughly mixed with fine loam and a small quantity of finely ground land plaster is unequalled Eating a "Hell-Bender." A live "hell bender" considered the highest amphibian that inhabits the Pennsylvania streams, and always responded as poisonous, if eaten, was removed at the state economic ecologist department recently, and two of the bugs and snake students got into an argument as to whether the water dog or trash water alligator was edible. It ended in the "hell bender" forming the price de resistance at their Thanksgiving day dinner, and after the "bird" had been eaten all pronounced it delicious. This is the first recorded instance of the republican thing being eaten A Relationship Tangle In the marriage of Isaac Girton and Miss Sarah Francis at Yardley, Pa., the already tangled relations of the Girton and Francis families become more complicated. The father of the bride, George Francis, some time ago married a sister of the bridegroom, and a brother of the bride is the husband of a sister of the recent bridegroom. This makes George Francis father in law to his own daughter, and the daughter a sister in law to her father, and places her in a like position to her brother. Young Girton is brother in law to his father. She'll Warm His Cold Feet. A correspondent at Willowshire, I write as an follows "John Davies, an aged former of Huntley's stock, was at original before Magistrate brown charged with committing unjust and battery on his young wife Dora. After the four plumttiff had told her story on the witness and given a detailed account of how she had been abused, the aged husband and: "It is not true, I always treated her kindly. Anyhow, I only married her to keep my feet warm in winter." The old man admitted that that would be the case, and when the wife was apaled to she said she would forgive him and the simple made up and kissed, knowing the altermine's office arm in arm. The best selling stock, whether it be horses, cattle, swine, or what not, is in the long run the kind that makes its owner a profit. It takes less fuel and less time to fatten out a bunch of well bred stores or hogs than one of mongrel breeding and consequently lack of quality, and the well bred cattle or swine when put on the market will sell SIRE, or from 81 to 81 per hundred weight more than the "stuff" It would soon, then, that more farms it would take well bird stock. The part of gone bird stock grown in the United States in comparison to the total number is accordingly small. It is an unpractical fact that cattle of Short horn Threlp pachromate in the United States set the total number of Short horn cattle around 10 to late is only 65,000. It is estimated that not over 30 per cent of these are now living, or a total of only 211,400. Of the millions of cattle in the United Mates less than a half million are pur- bred. What an imbalance against the American farmer! It is little wonder the quality of our cattle is so poor it is simple from the poor in elec- tive purchase cattle. Water there is de- nial purchase cattle. When there will be it now be one there would still be it in most and it print in read would be quite as numerous as possi- nt The proportion of pute bird houses to the total number of houses is less than that of the same may be said of beetles. Probably the proportion of pute bird houses is a little greater than that of that kinds of stock but even it is almostly similar. The number of the kinds of pute bird swine is comparable to many hogs and getting larger. At the same time the demand for pute bird hogs outpaces the supply. We need more pute bird stock, books of every kind. Now what is the reason for the predomination of the "scrub" in all lines of his dingy? Lew farmers question the superiority of well-bred stock and yet they continue to breed the "scrub". There must be some fundamental misconception regarding the breeding of good stock else more of it would be produced. If we can discover what this misconception is we shall have arrived at the cause of the error, then having discovered the cause we can point out the remedy. We have given much thought to the question of "stub" stock and have are lived at the condition that the root of the cell lies in the use of the grade size. We have come to regard the grade size as the basis of the breeding business. These are infant animals belonging to the put broil classes but a pute broil one must be very minor if he be not better than the best grade size. The reason that broil is not hard to discover. In all animals there are two tender ones to reproduce themselves, another to reproduce some ancestor near or remote. Pure broil animals are those that have been bred along one line until a certain stromate type has been fixed, those animals will reproduce them selves with continuity. When a pure broil pre is used the influence of a long line of breeding for certain characteristics is reflected in the progeny. Thus the here ford bull will invariably stump has got with white face; the Angus or Gallo way will remove the horns, the Shorthorn will get calves with broad, deep bodies. Whatever the type of the sire the tendency is to reproduce itself in its offspring. Now, the influence of new blood tends to break up long established tendencies and in proportion as the likelihood of desirable qualities being produced is lowered that of bringing forth undesirable qualities is increased. This is exactly what it appears when a grade sure is used. One can not tell with any degree of certainty what type of animal will be produced by the grade sure. One of his get may be of this type, another of that, and the majority will be of no particular type will be a mixture of several types, in other words a "scrub." Uniformity of type pleases the eye even if the type be not the most desirable. A grade sure links the power to target offspring of an uniform type of any kind, he is a masseuse, an unimittated cal Shun him. Because he is a well appearing individual the average man is deceived. The average man sees only the outside and, liking the anterior qualities of the animal, bloods to harm, not knowing that the grade is an unear tam element as a site, nor why 'There are various theories to account for the grade's inability to reproduce him self.' Perhaps there is a degree of truth in each, and more than likely mother is also other correct. But for practical purposes it is not essential that we know the why and the wherefore of every thing, nor need we know this. What we need to know in this connection is this. The grade sure lacks the power to reproduce any particular type in his get and should be avoided whatever possible. The doing away with the grade sure would accomplish more in the way of improvement of American live stock than any other one thing. FARM NOTES. The heavy coating of ice on the trees caused much damage by breaking branches, limbs and even whole trees. The damage to orchards is especially great. The excessive rainfall has put a stop to planting for the time being. The farmer who has a goodly number of trees planted is in lock selecting seed corn and making germination tests of the prime is an excellent test and profitable way to expand the many days between now and planting time. Bathol wife is longer than it was duty years ago, cheaper per person, but we are not so sure but it is other than the long run. It didn't take ordinary bath ware long to rust out these days, spreading of bath wires remains us that quality is a thing lost sight of these days. The demand is ever for something cheaper. Things are made to sell nowadays, not to last. Even by paying good round sum we are not insured of good goods. sometimes we almost doubt if there are any really good goods manufactured. The roads have been pretty good thus far but now they are almost impassable. How much better it would be if our public roads were intensively worked instead of extensively. It seems to us the theory of intensive rather than extensive farming might well be applied to road making. If your farm is afflicted (1) with hedge fences now is a good time to work some of the wood up into fence posts and fire wood. A hedge fence is a poor piece of property nowadays. Still hedge posts of fair size are about the best on the market. Don't make wood of trees suitable for fence posts. Every farmer should now be planning for a fruit garden. To one who is unacquainted with the luxury of having fresh fruit in season of any and all kinds adapted to this latitude we will say you are missing much. Every farmer owes it to himself and his family to have an ample fruit garden. This has been popular weather for January. It is more like April. Dog, rain and mud is bad enough in warm weather but is much more disgraceable in winter. We prefer cold weather to mud every time. If the spring of 1907 is not one of the most backward on record we shall be agreeably surprised. In Germany there is an absence of large orchards as we know them, but along the roadside and in every garden fruit trees are abundant. How would it be for us to initiate the Germans in the planting of these long public high-water as it is there is much valuable land lying at or worse yet, grown up to cope within the road limits that is doing a good job. Our public roads and in almost have mostly as much again land as a right way was needed. If the old land was utilized for growing it must how much better it would be for all concerned let us try planting a few trees by the roadside this spring. We will never regret it. We notice accounts in several papers of great rabbit hunts in which many hunters participate. It is a good thing for the country that these hunts take place but a bad advertisement for the health in which they occur. To our mind rabbits are an unmutilated nummie and we would hate to live in a locality where they were numerous. Our plan for keeping them relatively scence on our farm is not only to kill all we ourselves can conveniently but also to allow all responsible hunters the privilege of hunting rabbits as they please. We have no doubt but that some of these hunters kill a quail occasionally but we are rid of the rabbits, which is a great deal of satisfaction. The rural mail carrier comes as nearly earning his money nowadays as he ever does. The worst thing he encounters is the mud. Muddy roads are aggravating to the driver and hard on the team. We are heartily in favor of a pavilion post system, but none can be inaugurated and turned out until the condition of our country roads is greatly improved. We should like to see the government take hold of the good roads movement. A million dollars is a vast sum of money, but that much and more could be spent to a great advantage on our public roads. The national government is the logical road builder. NOTICE . NOTICE! I TO THE SUBSCRIBERS OF MEMPHIS. To the subscribers of Memphis Tenn.

Now is the evening of all the kingdoms of the world called the city of Babylon. Now is the morning of the holy city or the kingdom which Jesus Christ prepared. That makes the vision of the evening and the morning which was told, true. 1. Babylon the great is fallen. It became a dwelling place for devils and a refuge for unclean and hateful persons, therefore God will waste and destroy it. 2. God's hand shall be upon all people that preach vanity and devise lies to strengthen the hand of the wicked. 3. Babylon shall sink with violence and shall not rise from the judgments which God shall bring upon it; God will rain upon the evil an overflowing rain, great hailstorms, fire and brimstone. 4. Thus will God magnify himself and sanctified in his children and be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that God is Dr.P.Holmes, Regular Medical Physician with Thirty Years of Experience in the United States.

Western town to shoot street foxes and maulers who throw women on the street and attempt to clash officers, having no relation to the monkey house, may be taken seriously. To an officer by a police chieftain, to the maulers' membership of his men is a hot phrase of politically as a part of the chieftain's bullets in its own brother far out to but a sleeting copilot, but he hopes in man "will be latent commission." The hopes they will, but as a rule, be more is not one that other than the "mason" or "pitman" commonly estimates at its full worth. The chief recognises this when he says, "The men are incapable home breakers, a measure to the whole community, but our laws do not permit punishers to impose punishment sufficient to stop their offenses, hence a bullet in one or two of the battles will help the rest to understand the seriousness of their crimes. The logic of such a position is a wide one, a significant one, too, in the agitation surrounding the unwritten law, which recent events in various quarters has created. It moves a natural wonder as to how much more private shooting, lynching and other demoralizing efforts at justice and awakening of brutes to the nature of their offenses will have to go on before the unwritten law becomes the written one, and laws offer some real and not century off violation of the rights of human beings, male or female, and some reasonable protection against the heaviest crimes that can afflict society. When Virginia plunged a dagger to the heart of the fury and beloved Virginia to say her from just such human friends is extinct today, even pugn Home was stilled with indignation against the tyrant Clinton. But when now the same of justice in human breeds recognizes the demand for vengeance against those who with more than a tyrant's arms entice and betray their victims, and fling innocent and guilty alike into the pit, their vice has opened, men are actually found to call it "a maudlin sentiment." Fortunately, however, they are few—and growing fewer. Vindication Denied Women. The great soul of the world is just, and begins to discern that any law of self defense against the assassin who would destroy the body must hold doubly good against the wily villain who covetily and insidiously strikes at the precocious honor of the soul. It is the fashion of today to demand one code of law and judgment for men and women alike, and in the many it is well But Alexander Dumas know where to draw the line when he said, "Woman can never fall so low as man, because love has always and something to do with her fall. What terrible something that is all the masters of literature have been trying to tell us in all ages. Now the less it is still Margot and linguistic in guilt, the less of it must more than his own and with the "Lombard girls," who have not told us, "war dogs in their belts" and never spite a betrayer, the vindication of such wrongs, either by the written or unwritten law, still denied to women. Since they go on even though cases like poor "Indy hounds" draw tears from the eyes of grave lawyers and judges, and move the court itself to recognize that in her soul the victim was "pure" and her destroyer "a bit" by comparison in the scale of being. Yet of the "rat" had not sum his trussing victim in the death waters, what vindication would the courts have all I hat for the far greater wrong done by the demon who took a haunt of it, strength and unquestioning evidence of a "same love." What, however, are they moved to do for the present young have thrown up in a scornful world in the case of a father who refuses to give them the protection of his name or care? The spectacle of a distracted mother, caught in the tools of such a disgrace and wrong, chasing the wild blood perpetrator of it about the land, increasingly plodding with him to fulfill his pledges and save her children, ought to move something that could never be called a madden sentiment in the minds of just man, and suggest some legal provision for meeting such a case and holding a recurrent creature to some one of descent, and duty to helpless offspring whatever became of his outworn infestation. Plea for the Women. The tragedy that calls the attention of a nation to the need of better legislation where batter men are still taking in any corner of the land may, after all, be in the interest of the criminal mills of the gods that grind slowly but weedingly fine. It may be all very well for the fortune and mercy to write ditties against the "woman in the use, and of the worst wrong in all concerned there can be no question, but the noblest and the purest. Like the christ, condemnt not, but are moved only to pity and save. What better acts and squares of the pit part black white, and do evil in the heart of the king is to outrage the nations, probably no one can ever over this though, my have tried it but once sought it could any man do less harm and the not amount of which should not be known and deserved and being deserved and manless upon a world not at law has no way on it with a inhabitant who is not worth it and pays no price in outfit him to do in the name of the domine n tattle not to not need to be borne with and asses to knife the would be allow of a way in the place of his life.

"Crimes sometimes shock us too much, as almost always too little," says August Hunt. Murder is a great crime and a recognition of the surrealness of human life the so-guard of any society. Yet the time may come when, in the blackness of the view that it is many cases laid up to it, murder will be seen to show almost white in comparison. Both is by no means the worst thing that can come to the human being, and the man who brings a specter of dis- horn into a woman's life is worse than the man who cuts for the thief and in familial cruelty. If murder could ever be justified (which is not wrong that it could) it would be for such soul- players and even than the lines would not be equal.

"There is a sentimental Tommy in almost every school," said Michael King of Lewiston as he leanned over the counter of his cafe on Main street and cut a luxious pumpkin pie. "There was one in our school when I was a boy. He was Tommy Drazler, and he was a nighly smart little fellow, but he never had his lessons. He knew where every hard nested, where the May flowers grew the thickest and where the high top sweets fell first; but, bleas you, he couldn't remember his lessons. He was critical in many matters too. He knew all that was passing in the politics of the state and nation, but he was off in his history lesson. One day he came in late and couldn't keep his thoughts on his book. On his way to school he had seen a big mud turtle by the side of the track, and he had to put a big rock on him to hold him till night, and his anxiety lost the turtle should get away blinded his eyes.

It was in a country school, and I was hearing my little second reader class. The lesson that day was a story about fires, their curious ways and habits. Among other things the story said that fires always kept their faces clean and then went on to tell how they rubbed their feet over their heads, as could often be seen by watching them. The last thing in the lesson was the question, "What lessons can love and girls learn from the file?" I led the children to answer the question. Only one small boy ventured into answer, and that was, "To watch our friends with our fe.
