JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 31, 1902.—"Well, you didn't come out to the grave yard yistidy," said the old soldier as he stepped into the Monroe House out of the rain. "No, I couldn't get off," said the clerk; "I saw you though and you looked real nice in your blue suit. I guess it reminded you of old times, didn't it!" "Yes, it always does remind us boys who saw service when we go out to the cemetery, specially on Decoration Day." "By the way," said the clerk, "what do you think of them nominating Enloe for congress?" "Well, I think he's a mighty good man," said the old soldier. "Don't you know I have always thought I would like to see Enloe on the Board of Regents of Lincoln Institute." "Do you think he'd make a good man for the place?" asked the clerk. "Well, I know one thing," said the old soldier, "he would do lots better than some uv them that's on there now." "Well I guess it is hard to please every one when you are on a board like that," said the clerk. "Yes it is when you have got the party behind you," said the old soldier. "What do you mean by that," said the clerk, "surely you don't mean that politics has anything to do with things out there." "That's what I said," said the old soldier. "Politics is the cause uv all this trouble that's been out there for the past four or five years and it is still playing a big hand." "Well I don't understand that," said the clerk when the same party has been in power almost ever since the school! has been there and you didn't have this trouble till recently?" "Yes, "that's so, but the same men ain't been in office all the time, you see. Page wuz at the head uv that school for nigh onto twenty years and got along alright till the political pot begun to bile in the state and Page wuz asked to help out a little. Then the trouble begun. You see Page wuz a good hand to work the legislature and al'us got more money to run that school than most folks thought he could git, so some uv the party bosses thought it would be a good thing to get Page to write a letter and put it in the papers showin' what the party had done for that school and right here is where Page balked on 'em. Then the party bosses begin to sour on him and some of 'em said he had been at that school long enough and jes' kep' after him til he jes' had to go. you see Lon Stephens didn't like Page much to begin with and when he got to be governor he put the rollers under him. He found it a big job though, but Page had to go jest the same and ever since then politics has had a heap to do with them 'p'intments out there. And when a fellow gits a job out there, he is kinder given to understand that "if he don't eat the king's meat he can't live." You see that's what keeps them white men out there. Well, sir, it is jest disgustin' when you think uv it. I wuz thinkin' seriously over it yesterday when I was marchin' out to the grave yard and toen some flowers how we used to lay out in all kinds uv weather and live on water and hard tack and didn't grumble a bit cause we had hopes uv being free some day and thought how nice it would be to have a school to send our youn g ones to, and after gettin' free and givin' all we had to start a school it is filled up with white me n. Jes' think uv white janitors in a colored school when some poor boys could be doing what they are paid to do and work their way through school. I'm goin' over to see Dockery in a day or two and. I'm goin' to tell him a thing or two. Maybe they won't sound so mice but they'll sound about as nice as they look and I'm goin to tell 'em any way. But all governors ain't alike nohow, don't care if they do belong to the same party. Now, there wuz Stone when they wanted him to git after Page fur not obeyin' orders he wouldn't have nothing to do with it and said Page was right for keeping out uv politics. But Lon Stevens took Judge Weaver in his buggy and drive out to Page's house and told him that he had decided to recommend some body for the head of that school that would do something for the party so you see there's a big difference in 'em and I think when I talk to Dockery he'll agree with me bout some things out on that hill an ef we can git his support we will change things up out there right smart; if we don't do it this year we will next, cause you see Dockery has, to 'p'int two new members on that Board next winter an he ain't likely to 'p'int the same one either, so you see lots depends on how he stands; you see that Board is goin to lect next week and the folks on the hill is gitten so they feel like we felt when we wuz waitin for the last news of peace down at Jefferson Barracks. We wuz scared to listen to the reports cause we wuz fraid they wouldn't be right. Well I mus be goin cause I didn't tend to stay so long. So keep this to your self." TEACHERS HOME. Editor Jackson of the Enterprise has had his nine-room house, 720 East Cimarron, newly papered and painted, and it is one of the best looking residences in the city.

Moore of Columbia was elected to succeed Mr. Lansdown. Mrs. Goins was re-elected substitute.—Cole County Democrat. ERRONEOUS JUDGMENT IN YOUTH. Young people are apt to think that every one who does not know what they happen to have been taught, is ignorant; everything they happen not to have learned, is useless; everything that is not the custom of the society in which they happen to have moved, is vulgar; every one who does not like what they happen to like, has bad taste; every one who does not feel what happens to affect them, has no heart; every one who is not employed as they are, wastes his time; every one who does not conform to their estimate of right, has no conscience; every one whose opinions are not like their own or their mamma's, is mistaken—Ex. COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1902. Columbia is well represented in the graduating class at Lincoln Institute this year, six of the candidates being Columbia students as follows: J. Z. Mosley, Laura Douglass, Ella Brown, May Richardson, James Strawn, Parthenia Brosius. CHILDREN. It is said that man would be little better than a savage but for woman. With equal truth we may assert, both men and women would be hard and selfish beings but for children. These call out and refine, and soften the best feelings of the parental heart. Their little needs are so many, and their simple innocence so affecting, and their very caprices so winning, that love and attention flow out of them almost instinctively. That must be a hardened nature which can be unmoved by the soft touch, and playful childishness, and hundred little pranks of baby.—Ex. Among the Colleges. Arthur Byron Coble, fellow in mathematics in the Johns Hopkins university, has been appointed to the chair of mathematics in the university of Missouri. He is a native of Lykens, Pa. Harvard commencement day is June 25. The final examinations begin this week and June 20 will be class day, Yale and Harvard being the last of the colleges to bring the school year to an end.

More than 300 of the alumni will be present at the annual meeting. The exercises will mark an important event in the history of the United States. Owing to the large number of visitors who will be in attendance, the field day exercises will be of more than usual interest. June 11 is commencement day at Princeton, and an event quite as interesting to the average student will be the afternoon baseball game between Harvard and Princeton. During commencement week a tablet will be unveiled in memory of George Yardley Taylor and Courtlandt Van Rensselaer Hodge. The sixtieth commencement exercises of the University of Missouri were held June 4. The exercises were unusually attractive on account of the presence of several distinguished men who were present. Among them were two members of President Roosevelt's Cabinet, Sec. of the interior E. A. Hitchcock; Sec. of agriculture Wilson, Robert L. Brookings, Dr. Galloway and Mark Twain all of whom received the degree of LL. D. Lincoln Institute. Art Reception by Prof. John H. Bias Freshman and Sophomore artists. After a true and kind teacher has led a receiving class for a term, there should exist a union between them which can be plainly seen. It should be a love union not a diplomatic tie. That there exists between Professor Bias and class this union many events will prove. Last Friday evening in the Dining Hall a reception and art exhibit were a grand credit to eight months work. The art work were exhibits in black and white, from lead pencil and crayons. The decorations were unique. Great strings of cedar draped the walls. Entwining the cedar was a chain of purple and white representing the classes union and colors. The tables were arranged in the form of a W meaning welcome. All lights were reflected from large light-red shades. Among the many exibits were: Evangeline in the woods. Approaching Storm—Black and White. Madonna—Raphael. Shepard's Chief Mourner—Sir Edwin Landseer. Landseer and two Dogs—Landseer. Baby Stuart—Van Dyck. Winter—Chicago Inter Ocean. Three of a kind—Sunday Globe-Democrat and many others which may be seen in art room on Commencement week, a suitable program was rendered by those present and refreshments served. This great and successful year and event closes one decade of hard work in Lincoln. Palmyra sent one of her sons to Lincoln ten years ago. Last June he earned and received B. S. D., A. B.

Norton on Christian Science. Washington, May 25—Mr. Carol Norton, in a lecture delivered before a large audience in the Columbia Theater to-day, asserted that 2,000,000 cases of disease have been healed by Christian Science during the thirty-five years of its history and that in that time about 700 Christian Science churches have been established and are now flourishing. He said that Christian Science is not faith cure, mind cure nor mesmerism, but that it heals the sick only through a scientific understanding of man's relation to God. In his contention for right thinking and proper models of thought, he declared that it should be made criminal to publish the details of crime or of contagious diseases because of the effect of such publication on health and morals. Noted Boone County Lawyers. In delivering the address of welcome to the Missouri Bar Association in the University auditorium last Friday, N. T. Gentry took occasion to speak in complimentary terms of some of the lawyers of this county. He referred to the fact that this has been the home of such able and distinguished lawyers and judges as Jno. F. Philips, Philemon Bliss, Alexander Martin, David Todd, John Hinton, Jas. S. Rollins, Sinclair Kirtley, Odon Guitar, the Gordon and the Turners. At the bar banquet on Saturday evening, Judge Philips took up the same theme and eulogized the same men, paying a high tribute to that soldier, lawyer, statesman and orator, Gen. Guitar. It is hardly necessary to say that these remarks were followed by the most pronounced applause. Capt. Smoke May Accept. Prof. John L. Gerig, now at the Nebraska University, sends the Statesman a copy of the Daily Nebraskan, containing this item of interest to Columbians: "Again the University of Nebraska has been called upon for one of its instructors. It is hoped, however, that Captain Smoke will not accept the offer from Yale. While the students of the University are happy to hear of the recognition of their command, yet they would be equally sorry to lose so efficient an officer. In his short service at the head of the military department he has won the deep respect of every cadet and student with whom he has come in contact. From a feeling of apathy in military affairs Captain Smoke has brought about an intense interest on the part of the students and has raised very noticeably the standard of the department." An exchange prints this: While being shown the sights of Chicago by the mayor of that city, Cambon, the French ambassador expressed his thanks for the mayor's kindness. "But," he added, "I am sorry so to cookroach on your time. "Oh," answered the mayor, "don't think of that. But you don't mean cockroach, M. Cambon; it's encroach, you mean." "Oh, is it? I see—a difference in gender." RUFUS L. LOGAN, B. S. D., Editor. COLUMBIA, : : : MISSOURI. THE NEWS CONDENSED. THE NEWS CONDENSED. The earl of Chichester, (Walter John Pelham is dead at London.

Americans Ascend Mont Pelee and Gaze Into Yawning Abyss of Destruction. Fort de France, June 4.—George Kennan, accompanied by Messrs. Jaccare and Varian, arrived this morning after an absence of 12 days. With Prof. Heilprin, Kennan and Varian ascended Mont Pelee. They stood on the very edge of the crater and looked down on the mesnouset mass within. In the midst of the crater: "We could not see down into the crater more than 150 feet; it was like looking into a white hot furnace. What was thought to be a cone of cinders in the crater was learned in reality to be a huge pile of gigantic rocks. The whole, vast bed of the old crater and Lake Palmiste is emitting a steam through thousands of orifices. "The ascent was the most terrifying experience of my life, yet Prof. Hellprin, the previous day, nad sat enveloped in darkness on the lip of what was once Lake Palmiste and had descended the horrible area in a thunderstorm of volcanic clouds and almost complete darkness." Kennan then went into details of the trip, describing the great explosion of May 26 and that of the 28th. On the 30th they nearly lost each other in the dense volcanic clouds. Following this incident he tells of his experience in climbing to the crater. Mont Pelee is quiet today, but great volumes of steam are issuing from the volcano. The lower mud craters, however, are still pouring forth streams of lava. Doesn't Dread Mont Pelee Washington, D.

COMPLETING A GREAT WORK German Sculptor Putting Finishing Touches on Statue in Construction Fifteen Years. St. Louis, June 4.—The celebrated German sculptor, Max Klinges, is just putting the finishing touches to a statue of the great composer, Beethoven, on which he has been at work fifteen years. Beethoven is represented in white marble, seated on a throne of guarded bronze, decorated with bas reliefs of Adam and Eve, Tantalus, Abhrodite and the Crucifixion. A huge majestic eagle in black marble poses at the foot of the statue with outspread wings. The impression this elaborate polychrome monument produces is magnificent. It is to be first exhibited at Vienna on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the death of the great composer. Then, if the efforts of Joseph Brucker, World's Fair Commissioner for Germany, are successful, the statue will be brought to St. Louis for exhibition in 1804, and possibly to find a permanent home in that portion of Forest park where the Louisiana Purchase Exposition buildings are now rising in noble proportions.

The tests were made upon four men and were carried on for two years. According to the pamphlet, the tests have proved that the borax in the human system retards the assimilation of albumen and fats and interferes with the renewal of tissues. A single dose of borax remains in a man's body for eight days. The continued use of borax, even in small quantities, causes an excessive loss of liquids and a decrease in weight without increasing the subject's thirst and hunger. In some cases, the experts declare, these phenomena assumed a threatening aspect. Investigating a Strike. Denver, June 4—The state board of arbitration today began an investigation of the building trades strike, which has kept 50,000 men in idleness for more than a week, despite the refusal of the contractors to agree to arbitration. Transfer of Fargo Company. Fargo, N. D., June 4.—The formal transfer of the Fargo-Edison company to William and Sinclair Mainland of Green Bay and Oshkosh, Wis., and their associates was made today.

Scoone of Lidell, Dr. divided honors in the State Sportsmen's association tournament at Watson's park today. Each broke 168 out of the 175 clay birds shot at. OBEY THE ORDER TO STRIKE. Engineers, Firemen and Pump Runners in Anthracite Mines Go Out. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 3.—The order calling out the engineers, firemen and pumpmen went into effect today, and the majority of the men obeyed. Nethside can claim a victory at this time, because the struggle at this phase of the miners' strike has just opened. There was only a partial showing stregant today. The real test will begin tomorrow. Although the majority of the men quit work, the companies, generally speaking, succeeded in keeping the pumps in operation. The operators feel that at the present they have advantage, but they are not so sanguine of the future. The exact number of men who quit today cannot be obtained. Each side refuses to make public their figures, but gave out information that roughly estimated the number affected. These estimates are far apart. At noon President Mitchell issued a statement saying reports have been received from every precinct in the mining community indicate that where the 8-hour day has not been conceded fully 890 per cent of the firemen, pumpmen, and engineers have ceased work. In some places the loremen have been required to perform this labor. There has been no disturbances of any kind today. Mitchell said he knows of mines being flooded as a result of the strike. BANKRUPTCY ACT UPHELD. Supreme Court of the United States Rules That the Law is Constitutional Washington, D. C., June 3.—The supreme court today decided that the national bankruptcy law was constitutional. The proceeding was instituted by the Hanover National bank against Max Moyes in the circuit court of the Eastern district of Tennessee on a judgment against him. The court says that the validity of the bankruptcy law must be uniform throughout the United States, and further that it is uniform, "when the trustee takes in each state whatever would have been available to the creditors if the bankruptcy law had not been passed." The court added: "The general operation of the law is uniform, although it may result in certain particulars differently in different states." It also said: "Congress may prescribe any regulations concerning discharge in bankruptcy not so grossly unreasonable as to be incompatible with the fundamental law, and we cannot find anything in this act on that subject which would justify us in overthrowing its action." Rights to Bankrupt's Assets. Des Moines, Ia., June 3.—Judge Shiras of the federal court in Dubuque today handed down an opinion in the bankruptcy case, holding that individual creditors and creditors of firms have equal rights to the assets of the petitioner. This is a ruling on a point never before covered. RULES FOR THE RAILWAYS United States Supreme Tribunal Upholds Their Charges Relative to Terminals. Washington, June 3.—The United States supreme court today decided the case of the interstate commerce commission vs. the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy Railroad company and others, involving the right of the commission to reduce the terminal rate made by the railroads in Chicago to cars containing live stock. The opinion was presented by Justice White and affirmed the decision of the circuit court of appeals for the Seventh circuit, which refused to carry into effect the order of the commission reducing the rate from $2 to $1 per car. DEBTS OVER ONE MILLION John and Alexander Davidson of Chicago Want Heavy Liabilities Wiped Out. Chicago, June 3.—John A. and Alexander Davidson, president and vice president of the Davidson Bros.

Springfield, Ill., June 3.—Governor Yates today has denied the requisition from the governor of Alabama for the extradition of Will Jackson alias "Chattanooga Kid," under arrest in Chicago, and wanted in Birmingham on a charge of assault to kill. LEADING OFFICE GETS AWAY. Republicans Elect Their Entire Ticket in Oregon With Exception Portland, Ore., June 3.—Incomplete returns indicate that the Republican ticket is victorious except governor. George E. Chamberlain, Democratic candidate for governor, is probably elected. Thomas N. Tongue was reelected to congress from the first and J. N. Williamson, Republican, from the Second. TWO YEARS IN PENITENTIARY. Bogus Postal Card Manipulator is Given Sentence in Chicago Federal Court. Chicago, June 3.—E. Louis Smith, who ran an establishment for making bogus postal cards that was the largest rival to the government printing office ever discovered and who put millions of counterfeit postal cards on the market, was sentenced today to two years in the penitentiary. The law permits a penalty of 20 years, but clemency was recommended by the postoffice department. BURCHER WAR IS OVER BRITON AND BOER CONCLUDE PEACE PACT. Great Rejoicing Follows the Announcement Throughout the British Isles—Terms Provide for the Establishment of Self-Government in South Africa as Soon as Possible—Boer Farms to be Restocked. London, June 3.—A. J. Balfour, government leader, announced in the house of commons this afternoon the conclusion of peace with the Boers. There was a jam in the historic building, and the accommodations were sorely taxed to care for the throng which desired to be present on the occasion. Mr. Balfour in making the announcement gave these as the terms upon which peace had been concluded: The burglar forces lay down their arms and hand over all their rifles, guns, and ammunitions of war in their possession or under their control. All prisoners are to be brought back as soon as possible to South Africa, without loss of liberty or property. No action is to be taken against the prisoners, except where they are guilty of breaches of the rules of war. Dutch is to be taught in the schools, if desired by the parents, and used in the courts if necessary. Rifles are allowed for protection. Military occupation is to be withdrawn as soon as possible and self-government substituted. There is to be no tax on the Transvaal to pay the cost of war. The sum of £3,000,000 is to be provided for restocking the Boers' farms. Rebels are liable to trial, according to the law of the colony to which they belong. The rank and file will be disfranchised for hire. The death penalty will not be inflicted. Scene in the Commons. London, June 3.—Not in years had the house of commons commencement been so thronged with such a brilliant and enthusiastic audience as when Mr. Balfour announced this afternoon that the peace terms had been concluded with the Boers. An hour before the house met a large crowd on Whitehall vociferously cheered notable politicians and particularly Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and A. J. Balfour, who received great ovations as they walked to their seats. Amid breathless silence, broken a few seconds later by applause such as the houses of commons seldom heard, Mr. Balfour announced the terms on which the war had ended. Reference to the Boers acknowledged King Edward as their sovereign made the hit of the day. As the liberality of the terms grew plainer, the cheers on the government side diminished, while the opposition's satisfaction preposterously increased. Through all this the Irish members sat impassive, though, earlier in the afternoon, they had startled the house by a demonstration which at first was thought to be in honor of peace, but which was actually caused by the reappearance in the house of William Redmond, who has just returned from the United States. Kruger Voices No Opinion. Amsterdam, June 3.—Since the news was received that peace has been concluded, President Kruger has declined to receive visitors or express an opinion. The other Boer delegates here are disappointed at the outcome, and are not inclined to discuss the matter. The Dutch newspapers declare that Great Britain will gain nothing "from this unjust war" and that her difficulties are now beginning. The papers generally express admiration for the courage of the Boers, and regret that the sacrifices proved in vain. London Press Comment London, June 3.—Judging from the opinions of public men and the editorials of London newspapers, the terms of peace appear to meet with approval on all sides, but the extremists of both the jingo and pro-Boer parties find something to cavil at. The Chronicle this morning says: "The close of the war has converted us all to pro-Boerism. England, as a whole has taken her triumph as she took her disaster, with sobriety and discretion, which should help our former enemies over the remaining rough place to a lasting friendship. The government upon the diplomatic achievement, of which every detail stands out in solitary contrast to its past record blunders and confusion." The Mail and Telegraph. Jingo organs, both express unbounded satisfaction with the peace terms. The former only complains that no war tax is to be levied on the conquered territories," which means, "says the Mail, "that the Uttlanders who suffered so much will have to pay the bill, so far as it is paid." The Times says: "The terms of peace are excellent in all respect. While generous to the Boers on all points where liberality cannot preclude common interests, they contain ample security for the stability and permanency of the settlement which we have attained at so great a cost." Hungarian View. Buda Pest, June 3.—All the Hungarian newspapers express satisfaction at the conclusion of peace in South Africa. Pester Lloyd says: "The Boers will doubtless soon find that the British ideas of freedom and toleration are more liberal than those which pertained under the regime of Republican Krugerism." Enthusiasm in Quebec. Montreal, June 3.—There is general rejoicing in the province of Quebec over the news of peace. A general holiday has been proclaimed for tomorrow, and the prisoners in the city courts have all been released. Vienna, June 3. - Sixteen were killed and four wounded as a result of the explosion of gas today in the mine in Galicia. RACE FOR LEAGUE PENNANTS.

Assistant Adjutant General Testifies That Filipinos Were Kinly Treated by Troops. Washington, D. C., June 2.—Colonel Wagner, assistant adjutant general, U. S. A., and formerly adjutant of the army in the Philippines today continued his testimony before the senate Philippine committee. He said he knew that one village has been burned because the villagers would not give up the murderers of a friendly native to the United States. He gave a fine character to General Bell as a humane officer. He said the conduct of Americans in the Philippines had been uniformly kind and considerate to the natives in prison. Col. Wagner did not agree with General Hughes that the war in the Philippines was not civilized war. He said that in the provinces commanded by General Bell about 100,000 people were gathered in the concentration camps. Their property left out the company was confiscated and the wealthy people lost heavily. He did not believe that any camp described by an anonymous officer as a "Suburb of Hell" ever existed.

As a feed equal parts of corn and wheat give better results than either grain fed alone, The steer and the cow have fought the butter business out to a finish, and old bossy is ahead. Arbor day in North Dalsota has been set over to May 9 of each year to meet the climatic conditions of the northern latitude of that estate. ‘The passage of the oleo bill neces- sitate the placing of 500,000 more cows on the farms of the country to supply the demand for butter. If all the small, understaed and in- terior kernels of seed grain of any kind could be eliminated from the seed sown, {t would do much to improve the quality of all crops raised. If you have set out a strawberry bed this spring, do not let the plants bloom and bear fruit this year, for it weakens them, and they will not set so good a’ crop of runners for the next year's crop. Alfalta butter {s not as fine as blue grass butter and will never take the place of clover, blue grass and corn as a dairy ration, but fed with these It is of great benefit, as it is a great milk producer, Cold storage has proved a great stro- cess with Baldwin apples in the East, the frnit going in at $1.20 per barrel, keeping perfectly and bringing $3 in the spring at an expense of 25 cents storage charges. ‘While it ts all right to break in the Zyear-old draft cok, it 6 still a bad blunder to make it’ do regular work alongside of a matured horse, and the same rule should apply to your 14-year- ‘old boy as well.

But few of the younger people of the country have ever seen an ox, a ten-year-old, long horned, eighteen hundred pound beast of burden for his sort 1s being almost wholly snp- planted by the horse, the oxen finding their way to the slaughter house be- fore they are three years old. The how! against the meat trust oes nor come from the farms. Out west not e peep fs heard, and as the ‘old granger notes a twenty-five cert acvance in hogs and steers in his €aily paper he turns to his wife and remurks that the Lord has not forgot- er. his people after all. ‘The corn acreage of the corn belt will be very large this season, the pre- vailing bizh prices for this cereal rct- ing as a stimulant to every man to raise every bushel of corn’ possible. ‘The country cannot raise so large a crop of corn this season that the prices will be forced to an unprofitable point. ‘The recent orders for the cattlemen to remove the fences which they have erected, enclosing vast areas of the public ‘domain is very much in the interest of the homesteader and man who wants to raise cattle on a small seale, The order is making a lot of trouble among the cattle barons, how- ever. Cold storage has become a most im- portant factor in relfeving glats of the market for all perishable products and equalizing the prices for the same. Not long ago eggs always used to Grop to 8 or 9 cents a dozen along in the month of May. Cold storage facilities now keep them up to 18 or 14 cents to the producer. ‘ete aon Thatadite wie: Unless adequate insurance is to be carried against fire, lightning and wind we would not build the big barn, but two or three smaller ones, separating them some distance from ‘each other. It is very difficult to save the animals in case of fire when so many are massed in one big building and equally hard to save other property. So many of these big barns aré struck by Nghtning every year, and the entire hay erop and often the small grain crop of the farm burned up, that the big barn {s an un- profitable proposition. Even where full insurance is carried one-third of the lose still falls on the owner, be- sides all the annoyance connected with the loss of his stuff. We would divide up, keep the grain in a granary, the cows in a cow barn, the horses in a horse barn, the machinery in a ma- chine shed’ or house, and the corn in eribs, each well separated from the other, Creameries are now being rated by insurance companies as extra hazard- ‘ous risks, and yet ft seems strange why this should be.

Burden Bearers. Man {s a born burden bearer and has to live his little span of life carrying burdens of some sort or other and nev- er free from them. Some, through ignorance or stupidity, never carry their loads easily. They do not proper- ly adjust them to their shoulders and go grunting and growling through life, Others take up their burdens intelli- gently and irritate the bearer as little as possible, and they grow strong and happy carrying their load. Others— and these are a pretty mean lot—ehuck their burdens and pile them on some- body else’s shoulders. ‘Then there are the burdens of the weal, the helpless, the unfortunate ones, whose burdens it 4 a pleasure to help carry. Eat Less Meat. It fs a very good time just now to ‘stert a campaign of education in the use of the cheaper cuts of meat to take the place of the high priced porter- house and sirloin steak, the rib roast and tenderloin. The rump, the flank, the shoulder cuts and other low priced exts contain Just as much nutriment when properly cooked and are just as palatable, but they can't be fried, and too many cooks can't cook anything except in a frying pan. The laborer in foreign lands seldom gets any meat at all, and the American laborers who get $1.50 per day will hereafter have to let lamb chops, porterhouse steak and sirloin roasts alone, for wages will not follow meats, Sene Sear Gan. The shortage in the corn crop of 1901 has done more than anything else could have done to demonstrate the vast im- portance of this crop to the country at large. All of the greatly increased prices of meats, poultry and buttter may be directly traced to the increased price of corn. Within the limits of the corn belt there is no one thing which ts of so much importance to the grower of this crop as to learn more about it —how to get better types of corn, how to grow more bushels per acre. "Corn means meat, and meat will never be as cheap again as it has been.

The rains came one after the other, five or six inches of water banishing in two days all the drouth bogies and making the country iook like the garden of Eden. ‘Label All Adulterated Foode.

The profits of raising turkeys are not always allotted where they proper- ly belong. A farmer at an institute was bragging that he had sold 75 tur- keys which had not cost him 10 cents a head and got over $1 apiece for them. His nice story was completely spoiled Uy luis neighbor, who rose and said that ‘those turkeys had cost him over 50 oents apiece to raise.

Hen manure is an exceedingly con- centrated fertilizer and should not be used ina crude form for the flower beds, but should be mixed with decay- ed vegetation, leaves and cow manure, ‘one part to five, when it makes a very valuable fertilizer for the garden. We know of two or three town bred girls who have lately married farmers. and so far they are really charmed with farm life. It is coming to this pretty fast—that a farm home under modern conditions {s about as good a home as there is to be found any- where. A crop of sorghum was cut and fed with much satisfaction the past win- ter in this manner: About 100 pounds of seed were sown to the acre. It was then cut with a harvester and bound in small bundles—as small as possible. ‘These were shocked up and fed in the bundle during the winter.

LE OR WARDROBE OF THE POPE. Vast Number of Princely Garments ‘and Priséicas Laces. Ee eee Few rulers are surrounded with more ceremony and magnificence than the princes of the church. As for the pope himself, etiquette and tradition have Imposed upon him a sumptuous magnificence, and the wardrobe of Leo ‘XIII {is the largest and most costly the wide world has to show. Three large rooms in the vatican are given over to it and many servants are constantly at work keeping the vest- ments in order. There are garments set aside for each day in the year, and varying in color, weight, and value ac- cording to the occasion and the sea- son, In Lent, the papal raiment, from shoes to cap, is of scarlet. The Easter season calls for white. Other holy days demand other colors. Every item of each costume is the finest and richest of its kind. The sur- plices worn at audiences are of price- less old lace. Nowhere in Europe is there a more valuable and interesting collection of lace, The clippers of the pope are legion and each pair is of the finest velvet. ‘The right slipper, which is kissed by pilgrims and other pious visitors, bears a cross in gold embroidery, while on the left are embroidered the crest, keys, tiara and pallium which make up the crest of the Roman church, But the slippers fade into Insignifi- cance before the value of the innum- erable pairs of gloves. These gloves are of the finest white wool. That sounds modest, but, as It hap- pens, the wool is embroidered in costly | pearls, The material for the gloves, as for all woolen garments worn by the pope, is made from the fleece of a spe- cial flock of sheep dedicated to this pur- pose and owned by a family that has since the middle of the 16th century enjoyed the privilege. From this herd of 50 sheep a num- ber of lambs are taken to the pope, and, in an impressive ceremony, receive the papal blessing. After that they are kept for a year at a convent near Rome, and are cared for in the most elaborate and punctilious fashion. ‘The year being passed, the lambs are | shorn and the nuns weave the fleece into palliums for the pope. The pall- ium, a long strip of white wool, adorn- ed only by a gold cross at each end, is the most sacred of priestly vest- ments, and is worn around the neck and body, the ends falling over the left shoulder, Before Pope Leo wears one of his many palliums it must lie for a certain length of time upon the sar- cophagus of St. Peter. Many of the papal vesments are set with rich jewels and stiff with gold and silver; but these gorgeous garments are seldom worn since the vatican lost its temporal power and the pope has | given up grand public ceremonies, One of the jeweled robes, the famous cappa magna, or great cape, Is so thickly set with gems that its weight alone would prevent the old and frail pope from wearing it. Pope Leo XIII is fond of jewels, and has a reasonably valuable collection of rings, but only three of them are offi- cial, The Fisherman ring, carved with a representation of St, Peter, fishing, is the pope’s official signet ring, and 1: destroyed at the death of the wearer | 4 duplicate belug made for his succes: ‘sor.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: “We have all seen how the smart gambler gets the crimp put into him sometimes until he looks like a young lady’s hair in 1889," observed the dealer as he deftly swept the coppers off the table and shuffled fa stack of checks. “Some of you gen- tlemen may have gambled in Clarke street in the old days. ‘There I saw an example of the wise man getting his fingers burned. “A veteran bank player was about the only one at the table this night, barring a couple of white check pikers, who we needn't remember, He was $2,200 in the box when 2 o'clock came around. It is always customary for the house to announce at the beginning of the last deal that this one is to be the last. That gives the player who Is a ese a chance to bet a little higher if he hasn't been playing the limit and ‘wants to get out. This custom prevails wherever the house has a fixed hour for closing or whether {t deals until there's no money in sight. “But this particular dealer was loser on this day, and he d'dn’t want to give the player a chance to get ever. So when he reached the last turn ho said quietly: “This will be the last deal to- vight’ “What's that? said Peter the play- er, ‘Going to shut off in that fashion after I'm in $2,200? What chance have T got to get even?” "Call yourself even,” said the dealer. “It pays four for one,” never dreaming ‘that Peter would take the percentage against himself that goes with a call of the turn. “Peter studied the layout. and counted his checks. ‘There remained in the box an ace, tray, and a nine spot. The ace had lost three times, but the nine had won three times. ‘The deal had been going against double out. "Nineteen blue checks, one less than a stack, was Peter's stake. The blues were $500 a stack, so he had $475. He took a tip from the number of checks he had and called it ace nine, “The dealer turned, When the first card showed an ace he was so nervous he could hardly shove out the next. It was the nine spot. Peter had won $1,- $0 on the turn, leaving him $175 to the good. “The dealer literally fell out of his chair,” HERE'S ONE FOR YOu. ASnake Story That Takes Several Layer Cakes. According to a newspaper published at Whiting, Kas., a resident of that town, while on his way home a few nights ago, had an experience in the city park which was yery thrilling. As he was passing near the band stand he heard a strange noise, After investi- gating {t he found it came from a large rattlesnake, It was pinned to the ground by a large limb broken from a tree. He set the snake free and went on his way homeward, unconscious that the snake was following. He sat down to supper and in picking up a spoon which he had carelessly dropped on the floor he again saw the snake. He fed it and they be- came fast friends. The snake would eat from his hand, wrap around his neck and hug him and sleep coiled up ‘at the foot of the bed. But one night the man was restless and couldn't sleep. He called to the enake and it did not respond as usual, s0 he arose, lighted a lamp and began ‘to search for the pet. He found it in the parlor, wrapped around the neck of a burglar, and its tall hanging out of the window rattling for the police: The Pittsburg (Pa) postoffice {s among the lucky ones.

THE St. Louis Globe-Democrat is setting up a howl about a statement made by Pres. Roosevelt in a public address on decoration day relative to lynchings. The President spoke of how shameful and disgraceful it was that so many instances of this lawlessness should occur in the United States and made no reference to any particular section of the country. The Globe-Democrat thinks that the Pres. should have emphasized the fact that most of the lynchings occur in the south, and while this may be true it was in the union and a disgrace to us as a nation just the same.

WHAT a good Periodical May Do.—Show me an intelligent family of boys and girls, and we shall show you a family where newspapers and periodicals are plentiful. Nobody who has been without these silent private tutors can know their educating power for good or evil. Have you never thought of the innumerable topics of discussion which they suggest at the breakfast-table, the important public measures with which, thus early, our children become familiarly acquainted; great philanthropic questions of the day, to which, unconsciously, their attention is awakened, and the general spirit of intelligence which is evoked by these quiet visitors? Anything that makes home pleasant, cheerful and chatty, thins the haunts of vice; and the thousand and one avenues of temptation, should certainly be regarded, when we consider its influence on the minds of the young, as a great moral and social blessing.

"The Filipinos are the finest musicians I have ever known," said Capt. Charles D. Palmer of Manila at the Arlington yesterday. "I have listened to some excellent orchestral music, but I want to say I have never heard anything so magnificent as the playing of those natives. Nothing in this country certainly can touch them. They have all the instruments known to our people, but they play them much better. Strange to say, too, they play nothing but the most beautiful classical music. Naturally the Filipinos are a bright, apt and intelligent people. I am connected with a hemp company in Manila which employs large numbers of natives as clerks, bookkeepers, etc., and their services are entirely satisfactory. They learn as rapidly and as thoroughly as the young men and women of this country. I think it would be the greatest mistake imaginable for the government to let the islands go. Of course, the people have not all agreed to American sovereignty as yet, but they will in time, and when they do that country will begin to develop and will prove the richest holding of any nation in the world. I think the United States has been a little too fast in some places in establishing civil government. Better results would have been attained by keeping up the military control, but at that things are moving along in a satisfactory manner. Five years from now the Filipino will be a good American citizen, and give him ten years of the little white schoolhouse and his next generation will be our equal."—Washington Post. THE LITTLE ONE'S PRAYER How He Occupied the Time Set Apart for Silent Devotion. The little son of an Episcopal clergyman of Los Angeles was visiting with his mother a Canadian city, where the two attended services at a certain church. It is the custom in that church for the clergyman and congregation to bow in silent prayer for a minute or two just before the sermon begins. It was a new proceeding to the child, for he was not accustomed to seeing this done in his father's church, but the little chap bravely and severely did his part. After the service was over the clergyman, one of the old evangelical school, who had noticed the apparent devotion of the child, spoke to him and commended his reverence with an affectionate pat on the head. "It was very pleasing," he remarked to a group of bystanders, "to see this little fellow so deeply engaged in earnest prayer just before I began my sermon. What prayer did you offer to the Throne of Grace, my little boy?" All unconscious of the effect it produced the little fellow candidly and instantly replied: "I said, 'Now I lay me down to sleep; I pray the Lord my soul to keep.'"—San Francisco Argonaut. "Polka Dot Revelation" Bishop W. A. Candler has been talking to the St. Louis southern Methodist ministers on the higher criticism and the tendency to ritualism in the church. He deprecates special musical programmes and paid choirs and soloists. The higher criticism, he declares, insists on a "sort of polka dot revelation." Why Rosewood Is So Called.

Jefferson City, May 28.—The Artists guild of St. Louis has written Governor Dockery requesting him to appoint a committee to raise money to purchase a bell for the battle ship Missouri. Among other things, it is urged by the guild "that the state's memorial for the battle ship Missouri take the form of a bell, expressive of the highest form of art in shape, ornamentation and tone, and composed as far as possible, of material obtained from the mines of Missouri and designed by Missouri artists, the design to be selected with special reference to the fact that the bell is a gift from the state of Missouri to the battle ship Missouri." It is estimated that the cost of a suitable bell will not exceed $7,500. The governor most earnestly favors the purchase of the bell and starts the movement with a substantiial subscription. Governor Dockery has appointed G S. Johns of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch chairman of the committee to solicit funds for the bell and has appointed committees for St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph and other cities in the state.
