New York Clty—The indictment ‘against the Press Publisaing Compa ‘ay, publishers of the New York sWarld, charging Joseph Pulltzer and ‘others with criminal Mbel against ‘Theodore Roosevelt, President ‘att ‘nd others, was quashed in the Unit fed States district court. Judge Hough truled that the statute upon which the Yindictment rested was not sufficient "in authority, or, in otaer words, that the court had ‘no Jurisdiction. ‘The decision of Judge Hough is of international interest, the now fam: ous Wbel case having at its Inception ‘anyolved ex-President Roosevelt and unis brothertn-law, Douglas Hobinson, and President Taft and his brother, Charles P.

President Roosevelt sent a special message to congress on the miatter, ‘and ‘made public correspondence in ‘which he characterized the publica- tion of the Panama story as false, and ‘asserted that Delavan Smith, one of the owners of the Indianapolis News, was a “conspicuous offender against the Jaws, honesty and truthfulness.” Joseph’ Pulitzer, owner of the Now York World, came in for a severe ‘scoring by Presfdent Hoosevelt. ‘The federal proceedings {n Indlanapolis against Delavan Smith and Charles R.

New York City——The south holds the key to lower food prices, accord: ng to Governor Malcolm R. Patter- gon of ‘Tennessee, who is in New York for a few days. Here 1s what Governor Patterson, had to say when asked for his solution of the prob- lems presented by the higher cost ot living: “We are not feeling the pinch near. jy as much in the south as you are up here. Tue principal reason is the plentifuiness and productiveness of our land, ‘Thefe is no congestion ot population in the south. What we Most need is an increase in popula- ton, _ “If @ method could be decisea whereby mithons of the poor in the crowded sections of the east could be acettered over the agricultural lands of the south, tae problem of the ex- cessive cost of hving would soon be solved. “[ hope soon to see an organiz’. ‘movement led by able men to scatter ‘the people back to the soil. Our vast domain {s yet undeveloped. ‘1here {s where the fortunes of the future are to be made. Any man who comes to the south willing to do the work of a man wil find profitable employ- ment and an open road to Independ- ence. z “Our lind, though better than most western land, 18 cheaper because the demand has never been stimulated by the adventitious’ use of subsidies for railroads as the west, which has been settled and developed through the ne- cessity of great railroads to entite meonte to occupy their lands.” VIRGINIA HAS CLAIM AGAINST U. Ss. Governor Swanson Says State is En- titled to Portion of $80,000,000. Richmond, Va—Governor Swanson, fn a special message to the legisis. ture, advised Virginia to claim from ihe federal government a portion of he $80,000,000 derived from the sale ‘of public lands in the territory which Virginia ceded to the United States trom which were formed the states ‘of Onfo, Indiana, Ilinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and a ‘portion of the pres: ent state of Minnesota, WANTED FAME AS MOTHER, Moman Assembled Four Foundlings ‘to Boast of Having Quadruplets. Loe Angeles, Cal—In Biblical times 4t required the wisdom of Sotomon to adjudteate the claims of two mothers to one child. But Judge Curtiss D. Wilbur, of the juventle court, was called upon to decide the question in tae claim of one mother to quadru- plets. ‘Mrs. W. W. Wilson faces the cu- rious charge of having assembled four foundlings in order’ to achieve the co- febrity of being a mother of quad- guplets. Not only that, but it is al- leged. that on previous occasions she went through the same proceedings evith twins, then triplets. GREAT FLOODS IN FRANCE.

Parl pract!- cally cut off south and west, and i the present conditions ‘continue tno question of food supplies will become menacing. ‘Ihe Senate unanimously adopted an appropriation of $400,000 for national roltef, dnd various soci- eties are sending’ out calls for aid. President Fallieres heads the list witn $4,000 and other gifts aggregate $40," 000, The entire population of Ivry-sur- Seine and adjacent places, which are completely covered with water, are in adesperate state. Only the tops ot the houses at Alfortville are visible, tho water averaging 12 fect In the streets. At this place 3,000 persons have been rescued by boats, and 2u,- 000 otiers have found safety by thelr own efforts. In many towns along the riverg the houses are collapsing, and the wreckage Is whirled off in the stream. ‘ Groops of apaches had gathtrea, and soon were engaged in the work of piracy. They seized several of the boats and robbed rescued and rescu- ers alike. In some cases they en- tered the houses and carried on thelr depredations. Finally a force of the soldiers drove of the looters. ‘The hospital at Ivry, containing 2, 000 patients, fs surrounded by water, and grave results are feared. President Fallieres and Premier Briand made an automobile’ trip through the flooded fistricts in the eastern section of Pafis.

C-—Secretary Knox denies that the congestion of popula- tion In great cities 1s caused in large part by the lack of goods in ts country. He told the nouse commit tee on foreign affairs that tho rea. son France was the best agricultural country in the world was because sae had good roads so long ago. Maid he: “the ugricultural population ot France does not have to spend its money in repairing vebicles and their harness every winter. I think it has Improved the attractiveness of rural life. I think it has caused the popu- lation to remain on the soil more than in any other country.” ‘rhe subject came up in counection with tae constderatfon for an appro- priation for the participation of the United Stutes In the “permanent as- soctation of road congrasses,” an in- ternational affair, and the secretary seized the opportunity to deciare his interest in good roads. He also made the interesting statement that auto- mobiles were working havoc with the roads generally. “AN of you who have traveled in France in the last year or two know, that their roads are wearing out," Mr! Knox said. “Ihe automobiles have de- stroyed the surface of the French roads, and they (the French govern: ment) are anxious to co-operate with the other powers to see{f soine new methods cannot be devised for the protection of' roads that will meet the demands upon them.” ‘The secretary succeeded in getting bin semerineiadtnet: Traded Land For Whiskey.

Pearsons is reputed to be worth mapy millions, FOOD PRICES FALLING First Victory Won in Fight on ace BOYCOTT. STILL SPREADING == Chicago, Ir—Agitators against the high cost of living gained their first Victory here’ in their battle against prevailing food prices when reduc Uons of 3 to 5 per cent were an- nounced in the wholesale prices of eggs, butter, potatoes, pork: préducts and the better grades of dressed beer cuts. Big recessions also were made in the value of live hogs, cattle and sheep and in tae quotations of corn, wheat, oats and provision on the speculative markets. Of chief benetit to the housewife were the declines in butter, which dropped from 32 cents a pound whole- sale to 31 cents, and in eggs, which receded to 33 cepts a dozen, as com- pared with 34 cents last week. ‘Ihe ¥igin butter market recorded a big slump. Butter men who.had been bid ding as higa a8 38 cents registered Dids of but 30 cents, and received of- ferings at this price. ‘The deals prac- tically decided the price. ‘Whree reasons were given in Elgin as the cause of the decrcase—the azi- tation against the high price of food- stuifs—a break in the corner on but- ter, held by a butter company of Au- rora, and the decline in the demand since the holfdays. x In the Chicago waolesale marke. potatoes, went down to 35 and 50 cents a‘ bushel against ah extreme price of 52 cents on Saturday. New York City—Milk, eggs and. ‘butter led the procession of receding prices in food products here. Nation- wide agitation, afded by potent local influences, have brought about the drop. é Meat, too, is on the decline, follow: ing a greatly decreased consumption. State anti-monopoly laws are to be in- voked in the movement to combat the trusts that have advanced the fooa prices. A special’grand jury, whose particular offie it will be to consider the effect of combination among deal- ers in foodstuffs, was sworn iu. While it Is expected first to deal with the alleged milk combine, tae meat ques- tion is likely to be investigated thor- oughly, and possibly the whole scope of the food situation will be taken in during its probing. ‘Milk is down a ctnt a quart al- ready on at least two big dealers’ routes; butter in the- best qualities has been cut 5 cents a pound, and eggs are off 5 cents a dozen in the local markets, Storage eggs that have been selling a3 “strictly fresh” at high prices are no longer put as such, the big wholesalers say. Loulsvilie, Ky—Louisville was very pleasantly greeted with the announce- ment that butter prices had decreased 6 cents pér pound during the night. This reduction was made following the action of the board of trade at Elgin. Louisville retailers could give no reasoi forthe decline other than the agitation against high prices and the pledges being signed in many of the centers to eliminate butter from the diet while the price remains at a high level. Cleveland, Onio—Anoter. reduction on live stock was quoted here, the amount being 10 cents per hundred pounds. ‘There has been no lowering of the retail prices, however. Boston, Mass—A “Meat strike” in Boston is the alternative which the Boston consumers’ protest committee recommended if the conference with the whole ‘and retail meat dealers 38 not productive of lower prices. Redlands, Cal—two days of an anti-meat strike were enough for the residents of the Mission, a suburb of Redlands. Petitions were signed by almost the enttre population, who pledged to. refrain from eating meat for sixty days. ‘the meat markets closed their doors, but were induced to reopen and at once there was a rush to obtain fresh meat. Chicago, tl—Roger W. Babson, in an address before the Chicago Adver- tsers’ Association, declared that the prices In one-hundred leading com- modities have doubled~or tripled since the time of the Chicago world’s fair. He gave these six reasons as the pauses: ‘Trusts. ‘Varin. Over-production of gold. Over-spending—waste from buying more than is needed. ‘Wholesale desertion of the |farms for the city. * Great increase !n money spent for| uxury. . NO RAID ON CORPORATIONS, President Denies That He Is Planning & Greate.

Consul Freeman Writes of Improved ‘Methods. Columbia, 8. C-—Of peculiar Inter- est to the southern cotton growing states Is an article in the Consular reports waich has been called to the attention of local cotton ofl mill men. Consul Freeman writes\of the pro- duction of off in Mexico: “The cultivation and manufacture ‘of cotton and cotton seed products fs a most important industry“in this con- sular district. In- contradistinction to the implements used in the western part of this state such as wooden plows, brush harrows and other equal- ly crude tools, the -haciendas of the Lagune district in the eastern sec- tion of this district which are devot- ed to thératsing of cotton are em- phaticallytup to date in agricultural mothods and implements. On these plantations are to be found gang plows, cultivators, gins, presses, and tools of the latest design all run un- der the direction of a superintendent or manager, who thoroughly under- stands cotton growing and who re- ceives a salary commensurate with his responsibility. In this district, there are no small farmers, and, so far as I am able to learn, no land cultivated by shares men, as fs the rule fn the corn-raising part of this district. ach plantation is a busl- ness proposition. Under the super- Intendents are the overseers, the of. fice staff, and the laborers. ‘Taese last_recelve on the average perhaps $0.75, Mexican currency, (37%4c) per day of élevén hours for work in the field, All thé machiiiery used on the cotton haciendas, including gins, presses, etc. is of American make.” : 7 AWFUL “BLACK HAND” OATH. Constitution of “Society of Banana” Read in Court. Toledo, Ohlo—The alleged const- tutfon of the “Society of the Banana and Faithful Friends” was introduced in evidence by the government at the trial of the foyrteen men charged with Black Hand conspiracy. ‘This document provides: penalties of deata, stabbing, two to five cuts with a knife, branding on the body, designa: tion ‘of “tratiro,” or “swindler,” of deprivation of 2 share in the protits for their months, according to the gravity of an offense against the ob- ligations placed upon the member. Death {3 prescribed for revelation of secrets. Among offenses mentioned were cowardice, fallure to use the knife as ordered, dealing sparingly, refuting calls of comniand, attempting to harm a fellow member or his family, neg- lect of “inspectors” to “keep ‘order and pass the news around,” and ab- senting one’s self without notifying the local.” ‘The constitution declares that taere shall be no excuse for faflure, but that there may be extenuating circum: stances on account of drunkenness, WANT $1,000,000 10 IMPROVE ROADS ‘Resolution Passed at the Meeting of / League for Highway improvement.

A committee was appomted to go to Washington to urge the pass- age of the bill by congress. Newsy Paragraphs. - It is not so certain that the presi dent will be able to force through the ship subsidy bill. Middle western members are showing a disposition to abide by the wishes of their con- stituents and vote against the bill. Dr. Edward A. Spitszka of the Jet- ferson Medical college, Philadelphia, in an address before the Protestant Episcopal Clerical brotherhood at New York, created a sensation by ar- guing that murder and suicide were at times justified. Doctors, ne said, had tae moral right to kilt patients to end their tortures in sponges cases. Spitzka also said that thd so- called sclence of phrenotogy is in er- ror and that the thory of crimina! brains/is all wrong. Hearings upon the half dozen or more bills introduced in the house dealing with the subject of cotton tu- tures and other options, most of them prohibiting gambling in futures, will be held by the house committee on agriculture, beginning February 9. Joseph A. Danna, house surgeon or the Charity hospital at New Orleans, thinks there is‘a good. deal of hum- bug about the hook worm. “‘I'ne very fact that Rockefeller gave a million dollars to help stamp out the hook worm has added much to the talk or the disease. Candidly, 1 think much of tuls talk is poppy-cock." Such was the opinion rendered by Dr. Dan- ma, An Italian physician,” contin- ued Dr. Danna, “tecently told me that the reports of the prevalence of this listase had the effect of scaring Bu- ropeans away from the south.” The executive “committee of the National Education association an- nounced that the forty-elghth annual convention_will be weld ‘in Boston, July 2 to 8, 1910, HIGH COST OF LING Producer Gets Lite More Than, Formerly for Products. | CONSUMER PAYS EXTRA PRICE | American Farm Froduclt Abe, Seta Washington, D. G-—-Proof that American farm products are being ‘sold abroad cheaper than im this gountry ts being gathered by Secre- ‘tary of Agritulture Wilson. This was the declaration made by him at the “High Cost-of Living” hearing being conducted by a sub-committee of the house committee of the District of Columbia. Mr. Wilson gave strong evidence to show that the producer at the present. time was getting @ little more than formerly for bis food prod- ucts, while the ultimate consumer was paying an excessive price. “Until comparatively recently the American people erjoyed the cheap- est food in the world,” continued Dir. Wilson. “But nowadays, not enough people know how to farm profitably, mow how to get enough out of @ day's work, know how to make an acre respond. The lure of the fac- tory has called the farmer from ‘the plow.” Secretary Wilson declared , that ‘Washington was ‘one of the most ex- pensive citles fn the land and that retailers in this city demanded 42 per cent profit, where in cities like New York and Philadelphia they wero con- tent with from 17 to 20 per cent. Condition at the capital, however, with reference to tae cost’ of living, the secretary sald, were true to a great extent~of other citfes. He told the committee that it had a great opportunity to do a service for the whole people by ascertaining . the cause of these conditions. Chairman Moore intimated that the whole matter of the ‘cost of food prod- ucer to consumer would be gone an COTTON CENSUS REPORT. 8,792,990 Bales Ginned According to Government. Bulletin.

Out of 360 samples of flour taken, it is asserted only two were found to be bleached, and the two lots of flour, represented by these samples from eighteen Georgia towns and cities, were seized and taken off the market. In all cases where a violation of the national pure food law was involved, report has been made to the proper united States officials. Splendid System of Pikes Being Built in Sumter County. Americus, Ga.—One hundred convicts, Sumter's entire working force in roadbuilding, is now concentrated between Americus and Ellaville, in Schley county. The distance is 14 milcs, and half the mileage is in Sumter. The Schley county force is rapidly working in this direction, and the two forces will meet at the county line a month hence. A branch of this road will lead 3 miles to historic old Andersonville. In every direction, now, splendid highways — north, south, east and west—radiate Sumter county from Americus, and the work of improvement is continued this year with the greatest vigor. 1SCO Fund Will Be Closed Up at Once by the Govxerror. Atlanta. Ga.—Governor Brown is now taking steps to clear up the. 1905 school fund. He expects to pay out at once approximately $200,000 of last year's school money, and the rest, about $180,000, will be available to the counties to which it belongs whenever they want it. This $10,000 represents an aggregate of balances which a number of counties have to their credit. By dint of enterprise and thrift they have gotten ahead on the school fund, and have accumulated balances in the state treasury which are held subject to their orders and payable upon demand. Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson, State Entomologist E. L.Worsham, J. J.

Major B. F. Dixon, Raleigh, N. C., commander-in-chief of the National Association Blue and Gray, met with other national officers and the Fitzzerald post, and fixed the date of the National annual encampment at Southern Pines, N.

Slaton of the Georgia senate is now engaged in reading up on the automobile laws of the eastern states, with a view to introducing an automobile measure which will regulate the speed of autos in Georgia. DEMAND FOR CONVICTS Many Counties Ask Prison Commission for Labor. GOOD RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED Counties Have Obtained Fine Results From Convict Labor and are Anxious to Continue System. Attanta, Ga—Secretary Goodloe Yancey of the prison commission has sent out notices to every county in the state regarding the apportionment of the state's convicts for 1910 and asking them to notify the commission as promptly as possible whether or not they will take convicts this year. Some thirty replies already received indicate that the demand for convicts this year will be much greater than last, and it is more than probable that the commission will have to hold each county down strictly to its legal apportionment. Twenty-four of these thirty counties which are now working state convicts not only want to retain them, but want more than the now have. In almost every instance there is request for an increased number. New Counties on the List. Two counties, Crisp and Douglas, which are not now working state convicts, have asked for them in year, and it is expected a number of others not using them will make requisition for their apportionment. Four counties of the thirty—Chattahoochee, Habersham, Rabun and Jen Davis—which are not now using convicts state they do not want them this year. There are now an even 100 Georgia counties using state convicts, while there are seven others working their own misdemeanors, but take none from the state. NEW FARMER'S ASSOCIATION. Purpose is to Improve the Products of the State. Athens, Ga.—During the Farmers and Farmers' Wives' Conference here the Georgia Breeder's Association was organized. The purpose of the association, which will deal with the corn, cotton and other crops of the state, and the live stock industry likewise, is to assist in the movement to improve the kinds of cotton and corn grown and to improve the breed of cattle and stock raised in the state. The former results will be obtained by judicious seed selection, and the latter by economic methods of raising and modern methods of keeping and feeding.

SUMTER BUILDING GOOD ROADS. PAYING UP SCHOOL FUND. GEORGIA NEWS NOTES. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. Eastern and Georgia capitalist completed the organization of the Georgia Southwestern and Gulf Railway, which will extend from Cordale to St. Andrews Bay, Fla., with a view of handling the freight from steamers touching the Florida West Coast from points beyond the Isthmus of Panama directly through the interior to the Atlantic seaboard. The company proposes to take over the Albany Northern Road, which extends from Cordale to Albany, and to build a line of road from Albany to the gulf. It is also proposed to build a line from Cordale to Hawkinsville. This will give a direct line to Charleston, S. C. The railroad commission issued an order directing the Georgia Railroad to build a depot in the town of Blue Springs, in Morgan county.

Types of stories appear and disappear with the regularity of types in other subjects of passing interest, but for some reason or other the western story remains fixed and unalterable in form, in quality and in the affection of the reading public. Very occasionally some inspired author manages to break away from tradition, and produces a story of the west which is fresh and unhackneyed in taenne and manner of treatment. Such a story is the latest from the pen of William MacLeod Raine, whom no one will deny the palm in the matter of tales of the cowboys. This story, entitled "Bringing in the Law," deals with the Mexican border at a time when affairs were, to say the least, unsettled; with surprising defiance of treatment, but without sacrificing the effect of every bold stroke, the author tells the tale of the Cibola Kid's reign of terror as "king of Adams County," and how the law was brought into the mesquite at last. The story, which will perhaps appear in book form later on, is one of the two complete novels in the February number of People's Ideal Fiction Magazine.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has compiled with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. First February Popular Contents. "The Luckless Pot." A complete novel. B. M. Bower. "The Game Warden."

The first issue for February of the fortnightly Popular Magazine is full of the life that is strenuous. There is "something doing" in every one of the twelve stories contained in its 224 pages. The long complete novel, which has been a feature of the Popular since its earliest numbers, is written the month by B. M. Bower, whose "Chip of the Flying U" had a big sale in book form. The novel is called "The Luckless Pot." It is a cowboy story, with a stirringly described encounter between the sheep herders and the cow punchers, and a real mystery to carry the reader forward. Smith's for February. February will remind you—if you haven't begun to fossilize—that Saint Valentine's Day is at hand; and, going through into the next car of this train of thought, Valentine's Day surely suggests a pretty girl; and a pretty girl brings you to your own car and your own section; in other words, Smith's Magazine and the Theatrical Art section—to get off the train and stand on solid ground again. The sixteen new portraits of "the stars that shine"—as a popular song has it—are certainly good to look upon. You will find your particular favorite there, and fifteen other close seconds. But that is only a part. There are a round dozen of clever stories in this February number, to say nothing of four or five poems and a little sermon thrown in for good measure. It Might Be Worse.

C. of Georgia, Route No. 5, Box No. 47, Hawkinsville, Ga. October 1st, 1909. To the Brethren of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia: In view of the fact that we are to meet again in annual session, in the month of November this year, I have deemed it expedient to address this circular letter to the Brotherhood. First. Let it be borne in mind that we will not be favored with the certificate plan in November, account the convention; but instead of getting certificates there will be reduced rate return tickets on sale November 7, 8 and 9, from all points in Georgia to Atlanta. Rates of 3 cents per mile plus 25c, with final limits to return November 16th, 1909. This arrangement is cheaper than using the certificates. There is to be an automobile exhibition in Atlanta the same time, and the rate above mentioned has been granted on that account. So when I applied for the usual certificate plan the Company advised me that it would make said rate apply to Convention also. Connection with the programmes, I send you this letter so that there will be no mistake. Take due notice, and be governed accordingly. We have learned that changing the Convention from June to November does not meet the approval of a host of brethren. It will be remembered that the change was recommended in the President's annual address, which paper was referred to a committee; the committee reported favorably and subsequently the convention adopted and approved it by her votes. Let's go up to Atlanta in full force, and if the change is not the best, let's urge that the convention may rescind its action; but, personally, I think the change from June to November is best. 1st. It's a time in the year when the majority of the laymen have some money that they can give, as well as the pastors. 2nd. Every farmer in our convention who is interested in our work could plant one or two acres of cotton specially for conventional purposes, and in November of each year a great contest could be worked up among the farmers. 3rd. The associations belonging to our convention will have met and closed at this season—and they could send by their moderator or representative their annual donation direct to the convention, and through that medium, if properly worked up and given a fair trial before we decide to change from November back to June, it will only be a question of time before we can lay on the conventional table from three to five thousand dollars. 4th.

There are several such cows reported, one of the latest being an American Jersey cow, Warder's Lady, now in the Jersey herd of C. I. Hood, Lowell, Mass. This cow has a yearly record of 700 pounds of butter. The same hound has four such Jersey cows, and this, record has the stamp and authority of the Massachusetts State experiment station. Brown Swiss Cows. The Michigan Agricultural College farm has some notable Brown Swiss cows in its dairy herd. One of these cows gives in a year 9633 pounds of milk, which made 424 pounds of butter. Another one 10,158 pounds of milk making 457 pounds of butter. Another 9477 pounds of milk, and 416 pounds of butter. Still another gave $120 pounds of milk and made 406 pounds of butter. Their average weight is 1250 pounds. These certainly are valuable cows, and are full blood Brown Swiss. New Corn For the Southwest. Last year a small lot of shelled corn of a kind new to this country was sent to the Department of Agriculture from Shanghai. It proved to have qualities that may make it valuable in breeding a corn adapted to the hot and dry conditions of the Southwest. The plants raised in the test averaged less than six feet in height, with an average of twelve green leaves at the time of tasseling. The ears averaged five and a half inches in length and four and a third inches in greatest circumference, with sixteen to eighteen rows of small grains. On the upper part of the plant the leaves are all on one side of the stalk, instead of being arranged in two rows on opposite sides. Besides this, the upper leaves stand erect instead of drooping, and the tips of the leaves are therefore above the top of the tassel. The silks of the ear are produced at the point where the leaf blade is joined to the leaf sheaf, and they appear before there is any sign of an ear except a slight swelling.—Scientific American. Dry Farming. The Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, in commenting upon the dry farming movement, says: "The objects of the dry farming congress are intensely practical and laudably patriotic. They are, in brief, to develop the science of producing profitable crops from a rainfall, that was insufficient under old methods of cultivation. This science has ceased to be a theory. It has become an inspiring, demonstrated reality. In a sentence, it is nothing more than conservation of moisture—the breaking of the stubble in the right way and at the right time to catch and hold the rains of autumn and the snows of winter, and after that the best methods of cultivating the crop, so that the finely pulverized surface soil will hold the imprisoned moisture around the roots and prevent evaporation. "This seems wonderfully simple, but it has been found that, while the general principle is applicable to all sections, there are varying local conditions which require somewhat different applications. The work of the congress is, therefore, educational—such as fostering the establishment all over the West of scientific experiment stations." Silage Fed Beef Cattle: Indiana is becoming famous for its beef cattle fed in part at least on corn silage. The Purdue monthly calling attention to such feeding says: Commission men, who handle beef cattle in the markets, often value silage fed steers thirty-five cents per hundred pounds higher than steers which receive no silage. Here is one of the chief reasons for using silage in a ration for feeding steers. Silage can be put up and fed as cheaply as clover hay and the steers receiving silage make better use of the corn they eat. The steers fed here at Purdue on corn silage made cheaper and more rapid gains, gained a higher finish and were valued higher at the finish. Hogs fed after silage fed steers did equally as well as those after hay fed steers. The amount of grain consumed by hay fed steers was greater than with silage fed steers. The manure from silage fed steers is free from weed seed unless they are found in the bedding material. In feeding clover hay the weeds have a good way of spreading. The same amount of silage can be stored in less space and it saves hauling hay or fodder in bad weather. The results obtained last year were published in last June's issue, but it may be well to say that the lot of cattle receiving corn, cotton seed meal, and corn silage made a profit of $14 per head, while the cattle receiving corn and clover hay made a profit of less than $12 per head. The facts are that silage is surely the entire corn crop can be utilized with but slight waste, and the higher finish and selling price at the cheaper gain price, all should appeal to the practical steer feeder. Early and Large Vegetables. There are two ways in which every man who takes pride in his garden likes to excel his neighbor. One is in having the earliest product and the other is in having the largest. One may earn a reputation for having the sweetest peas, the crispest lettuce or the most mealy potatoes, but all this is eclipsed by one big squash or turnip, or one vine of early tomatoes, though none of these prizes may be any more than tolerated for the table. Earliness is the result of conditions favorable for the rapidity of growth and quick maturity. A warm soil is still further improved by the addition of available plant food and abundance of humus. A little nitrogen in some form is good at the start, but later it encourages a growth of top which retards maturity. This is not objectionable in case of some vegetables, but it is not advisable for others. The treatment which would be fitting for lettuce and asparagus, or other plants grown for the top, would not be commendable for tomatoes and beans, or plants grown to their fruit. A balanced ration is most reliable in this case, and barnyard manure serves the nurseries best if it is to be had. For producing large vegetables the requirements are different. A long season is desirable. For this reason an early start should be made and maturity retarded so as to secure a long period for growths. The soil should be in good responsive condition. The plants are not to be forced into a rapid growth at the start, but are to be kept growing through a long period. Stimulating nitrogenous manures are to be used sparingly, but phosphoric acid and potash are the independents, the former seed or fruit growth and the latter for root. He who succeeds, understands the requirements of plants and treats them accordingly. He sows the seed and sees that conditions are what are most suitable. Nature will do the rest—Farmers' Home Journal. Management of Cattle. For practical purposes and general convenience on breeding and feeding farms, a general separating and classing of cattle is necessary, so that each class of animals may have suitable treatment. Feeding cattle probably require the first consideration, and the utmost economy, as well as the best management, is necessary if this class of animals is to repay the feeder. One of the essentials that is conducive to economy is the comfortable housing of the animals to be fed, and this particularly with respect to warmth. A certain amount of feed is required to be consumed by the animals for heating purposes before any is utilized for the formation of fat. Any excess of food, after a proper temperature is arrived at, is placed upon the muscles in the shape of fat. It is very essential, then, that for fattening purposes the animals be kept at a proper temperature. Warmth is equivalent to food. The variations in the amount of food required by an animal are dependent in a great measure on temperature. In proportion to the temperature which an animal has to keep up will be the loss of the materials consumed in keeping up the animal heat. In addition to warmth, rest and comfort are necessary for feeding animals. Every movement causes a corresponding waste in the muscles that make it, so that no more exercise than is quite necessary for general health's sake should be allowed. Animals that sleep well gain more flesh than those that are more wakeful, so any plan that conduces to drowsiness should be adopted, such as darkening the shed after feeding is over. Grooming feeding cattle is labor well spent, and frequent washings from head to tail, along the spine with a weak sanitary fluid will keep them free from lice. These little details will materially help in the general economy of feeding. The time for each meal should be kept as punctually as possible, so that the animals are not fretting for the food. Whatever is the diet laid down, there can be no doubt but that the first meal of the day should be something easy of digestion, so that after the night's fast it may quickly be taken into the system. Unlike feeding cattle, animals that are growing, to develop into healthy and well grown cattle, require plenty of room and exercise; good, roomy yards with plenty of shelter accommodations are the right places for them. They should be liberally fed on a growing ration.—W. H. Underwood. Savings Banks. An Irishman was explaining American institutions to a green countryman.

FOREST DESTRUCTION AND THE EROSION OF ARABLE-LANDS BY DAY ALLEN WILLEY. The work of the elements in eroding or eating away the surface of the United States affords a study for the scientists which is of extreme interest and importance. So many are the causes of erosion and so many and varied are its effects, however, that a series of volumes would be needed to describe the effect of air and water merely on the different soils, in the various climates, and at the various altitudes. Perhaps the most familiar effects of earth erosion are in the West, in such regions as the Arizona desert, where the crumbling away of the surface has revealed the petrified forests. The remarkable formation in the Bad Lands of Dakota and Nebraska and the picturesqueness of the famous Garden of the Gods in Colorado are due almost entirely to the wearing away of the softer formation, exposing the curious shapes formed by the more solid composition. Much of this erosion is due to the extremely dry climate and high temperature, which have caused the earth to become remarkably friable. Here and there can also be seen the effect of water upon the soil, but a really wonderful result of the power of water is in what is now the Salton Sink, into which the detritus from millions of acres in the States of Arizona and Utah has been carried and deposited by the action of the Colorado River, the original surface of the sink being covered in some spots to a depth of no less than 200 feet. Erosion caused by a river or creek, however, is seldom beneficial. In the case of the Colorado, the ma- BRUSH DAMS WHICH ARE NOW TO HOLD BACK THE ```markdown ``` BRUSH DAMS WHICH ARE NOW BEING INTRODUCED IN THE WEST TO HOLD BACK THE MOUNTAIN TORRENTS. terial carried down in flood contains so many fertile ingredients that it has reclaimed a large area of the Southwestern desert, making it fit for cultivation by irrigation. In this respect the conditions resemble the annual inundation of the Valley of the Nile with its renewal of the fertility of the soil. districts of South Carolina which were actually fifty feet in depth, yet only two or three feet wide at the top. The drainage water cut through the soft surface like a knife, and with no hard clay or rock to stop its course, had caten its way into the earth. With such a formation, it is not strange that one can see fields of In many other portions of the United States, however, the result of erosion by water has brought literal destruction to very large areas of farm land and of territory available for agriculture by reason of its advantages of climate and soil. In spite of the enormous extent of cultivated lands in the various portions of the country and the many tracts which can be made available by the farmer in the East as well as in the West. His destruction has already assumed such large proportions that it has seriously affected our most important industry. While evidences of the injury done by erosion can be found in New England and in many parts of the Middle States, possibly the Southern States present the most notable illustrations. This is due to several conditions, such as the topography, the character of the soil, the size and number of the streams and the volume of water which they carry, especially in the flood season. A considerable area of the South is composed of the flat, level land adjoining the seacost. The descent of the rivers from the mountains where they have their source to the coastal plains is so abrupt that experts of the Geological Survey who have been investigating the Appalachian region estimate that nearly 3,000,000 horsepower could be secured from the principal water courses—more than enough to operate all of the industries of the South at the present time. This figure illustrates the volume and force of the water in the Southern rivers. During the flood season, when the rivers are swollen by the melting snows in the mountains or by heavy rains, and the flow of the water is many times greater than at other periods, some of the streams become literal torrents and carry down their course an enormous amount of sand, gravel and other detritus, much of which is held in solution. Unfortunately this material is unlike what is carried by the flood waters of the --- Colorado and the Nile; for it usually covers the land to such a depth that the soil is worthless for agricultural purposes. This distribution of alluvial material is one of the most serious; destructive effects of erosion. Every year large areas of the valleys in the Piedmont section, as well as of the lands of the coastal plain, are inundated by the high waters, and this deposit left upon their surface. The direct erosion caused by the flood water, however, is another great injury to agriculture. The soil of the Piedmont region consists largely of clay and loam; the upper statum of which is so soft and loose that the contact of water causes it to dissolve just as a pile of sand will be disintegrated by a small jet of liquid. It is this quality of soil which is noted for its crop production. Upon the "red lands," as they are called, of the Carolinas and Georgia is raised a large proportion of the cotton crop, some of the planters averaging nearly two bales of cotton to the acre. This land is also adapted for the growing of fruit, as is shown by the great peach orchards in the red lands of Central Georgia. Much of it is included in the older plantations which have been cultivated for over a half century. It is in this country, however, that erosion from water has done great injury; for many of the plantations are situated in the foothill country where the land is sufficiently rolling to permit a rapid flow of water. The erosion even of a small rivulet is of such an extent as to seem almost incredible. The writer has measured ravines and gullies in the plantation BEING INTRODUCED IN THE WEST MOUNTAIN TORRENTS. districts of South Carolina which were actually fifty feet in depth, yet only two or three feet wide at the top. The drainage water cut through the soft surface like a knife, and with no hard clay or rock to stop its course, had caten its way into the earth. With such a formation, it is not strange that one can see fields of fifty acres or more which have been abandoned because so creviced by the water. But even greater damage has been done to plantation and other bottom lands in the valleys through which flow the mountain rivers. Such may be the force of the flood torrent that it will carry away the entire earth crust, washing it down to the rock itself. As these bottom farms are usually extremely fertile and produce large crops of corn and cotton, the loss to the farmer is very great. —Scientific American. How to Know the Twins. The Beverly twins, Fred and Frank, were such exact counterparts of each other that none of the neighbors could tell them apart, and even their mother sometimes had her doubts. The resemblance is accentuated by the fact that they are dressed exactly alike. "How in the world can you yourself tell which is which, Mrs. Beverly?" asked a caller one day. "To tell the truth," she answered, "I can't always, but if I hear a noise in the pantry and call out, 'Fred, is that you?' and he says, 'Yes, mamma,' I know it's Frank, and that he's in some kind of mischief." — Youth's Companion.

JOHN CURTIS' AGER. Therpe; Tabernacle of God. Brooklyn, N. Y. —Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. John Curtis Agris, pastor emeritus of the Church of the New Jerusalem (Swedenborgian), new professor in Cambridge Theological he filled for so many years. His subject was "The Tabernacle of God With Men." The text was from Revelation 21:8: "And I heard a great voice out of the (new) heaven, saying, see, the tabernacle of God with men, and He will tell us the tabernacle of God by tell us, His peoples, and He, God with them, will be their God." Dr. Agris said; The preceding verses, with the greater part of what follows in this chapter, are a description of what John saw coming down from God out of the new heaven. The remainder of the prophecy tells us what John heard out of that heaven. John recognizes this distinction when he says we saw and heard these things. This reflects an important spiritual distinction that is in some measure recognized in the common language of the world. Seeing a thing mentally is a purely intellectual act, but hearing implies also such a giving heed to the truth as calls for some response from the will. So in this prophetic account, we will see picture those aspects of the new truth now coming into the world that appeal to the understanding, while the things he heard represent those aspects of truth that appeal also to our emotions and volitions. The new heaven and the new earth, the holy city descending from the new heaven upon the new earth, complete in all its parts, with its walls and gateways, with its gold and jewels, its streets of pure gold, and the whole city as transparent as the purest glass, and resplendent throughout with a divine light, for the Lamb was the light of it—all this is a divine symbol of that body of divine truth which will illuminate and fill and quicken all our intellectual faculties as fast and as fully as we are prepared to do, and as well as formed both to John's sight and John's hearing to picture the important truth that man is not a purely intellectual being, and that he cannot be made a new creature by any change, however great or radical, in his intelligence alone. The new truth has not done its work until it has touched the emotions and has quickened and directed them to form the conduct and filled it with a new spirit. And this aspect of the truth is especially pictured in that part of the prophecy that John heard. It is said out of the new heaven that he saw, John heard a great voice, which means, not a loud voice, but a great volume of sound, such sound as would be fit expression of heavenly love. And this great voice-said, "See, He will be barnacled with them, and they will be His peoples, and He, God with them, will be their God." This pictures another aspect of the new truth that is now coming into the world. This truth is first pictured as a holy city to indicate how completely it would meet and satisfy all the intellectual needs of men, a perfect belfoy and peace. It was pictured as a bride attired for her marriage to teach that the requirements of this belief will not be satisfied until the life is brought into harmony and union with the belief. And now it is pictured as a tabernacle in which God will tabernacle Himself with men, to enact the most perfect spiritual abiding place for men, but also an abiding place for God with men. To realize the full force of this symbol we need to recall that the tabernacle was 'under the Jewish dispensation' on the Jewish dispensation, as we know, was a dispensation of types and symbols. Its sole function was to symbolize or picture the true human church of the Lord or the true human life on the earth, and to maintain that representation in the world. The ceremonies, as prescribed by the Lord, were simply a body of prophetic symbols. The tabernacle which was built at Mt. Sinai under divine direction was, in a sense, the centre of this whole representative order. Until the temple took its place it was the 'centre and seat of the entire Jewish system of worship, and for a time the centre of the temple was possessed. In itself it was simply a tent, similar in many respects to the tents in which the people themselves lived, and as readily transported from place to place during their nomad life. It was made after a pattern shown to Moses in heaven, and every detail of its construction was typical of heavenly things. And to the Jewry of the Most High, the tent of the great unseen captain of the host, by whom all their movements were directed. His presence and His commands were made known by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, which moved forward to guide the host in its movements and rested both on the march and in camp this holy tent was at the centre and was regarded with reverence and awe it is impossible for us to realize. And whenever specific directions were needed Moses sought the will of the Lord in the tabernacle, as it had before been revealed to him in the mount, and the Lord talked with him in the desert, and afterward with less fullness during the conquest of the promised land. And 'when at last a more permanent abiding place for the temple was brought and placed in the form of lies of the temple, this manifestation of the divine presence by the cloud "filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord has filled the house of the Lord." And this wonderful cloud of glory, this symbol of the divine presence, called by the Jews the Sheklinah, continued to rest upon the ark until the temple was burned by Nebuchadnezzar and the ark was destroyed. But the tradition remained that when the Messiah came, and their government was destroyed, the Sheklinah would be restored and the presence of the Lord with them again made manifest by this outward sign. This hope and expectation of the Jews, in which doubtless the early Christians shared, is necessary to recall to make clear the meaning and force of this prophecy. As under the Jewish dispensation God's actual presence with His people was made physically evident in the story of Jesus and in connection with the tabernacle, and as those who followed this cloud and got from it immediate direction from God know themselves, by this visible symbol, to be His chosen people, so in these latter days, when a new Jerusalem would descend from God out of a new heaven, there would be given a new tabernacle of God with men, in which He would in a new and higher way tabernacle of God with men, in which He would be His peoples, and He, God with them, would be their God. Thus the old returns in the new. But it returns only as a type fulfilled, as a symbol realized. Between the old and the new there is the immeasurable difference between shadow and light. With the light, the light is present. With the Jews God's presence in the tabernacle was only a typical presence. His revelation of Himself in the cloud was only a typical manifestation, they were His chosen people. With the light, the light was God with them, their God, only in a typical or representative way. And this brings us back to the same primary truths respecting the true life of man that the Divine Word everywhere reflects. The true life of man is not a product of human prudence or of human ideals of goodness and human strivings after such goodness in which there is little if any reference to the Divine Word and solely the Divine Life flowing into us and becoming active in us. This is the fundamental truth revealed in the Incarnation, whereby God became tabernacled with men, and whereby as "Immanuel," God with us, He became our God. Thus in Jesus Christ this prophecy became potentially fulfilled. When God took upon Himself our nature and glorified it He became tabernacled in every minutest capacity and activity of that nature. In a fuller sense than man has ever known or ever can know did He then become tabernacled in every minutest capacity and activity of that truth that the apostles gained were soon obliterated, and in the Christian Church in us real sense has the "God with men" become their God. To some He became a type or example of the possibilities of human nature, to others He became an infinite victim to explain the infinite sinfulness of the race, but to He became a bringing down of the Divine Life into such contact with fallen human nature as a whole as would restore that nature to its true order with it thus that He became a life and thus also into such contact with our individual life as to make the restoration of everyone's life to its true order and to its true relation to the Divine life an easy task. But in the now opened word this is the truth that is everywhere proclaimed. What the Old Testament prefigures the New Testament declares fulfilled. To the Jews God made manifest His presence and revealed His will by physical signs, because they had no eyes to see His spiritual presence, no ears to hear His spiritual voice. Those to-day God for us, for the fallen, ple are able to see, in the light of spiritual truth shining into their opened spiritual intelligence, that these Jewish signs are actually fulfilled; to see in the Divine human life of our Lord Jesus Christ the tabernacle of God with men; to see that, by what the Lord did in His assumed human nature, the Divine life is in actual contact with every minutest movement of our life; to see that in every least issue between right and wrong that comes before our thought the Lord is really with us, to help us and uphold us to the fullest, extent of our faith, and that, by this belying all our thinking and feeling into harmy with this truth, all the requirements of spiritual lifting will be made easy and its burdens light. This simple truth, which makes clear to us the relation of the Divine life to our life, is the good tidings of great joy which the world is now beginning to hear. It says to us: "See the tabernacle of God with me. Christ the tabernacle of God with me. How He is the tabernacle of God with men, we have only to open our minds and hearts by the repudiation of evil and falsity and He will come in and tabernacle in us; and we shall then be in reality His people, and He, God with us," will be our God, for His Divine human wisdom will then be applied to His Divine human love our love, and His Divine human life our life. And this truth is to come, not merely to our spiritual vison as a truth seen, but to our spiritual hearing as a truth heard, and heard as a great voice of one of our hearers, that reflections we well hear our thought will be moved and quickened by the limitless love that is revealed in that supreme truth. For when we spiritually hear this truth, we not only see but also feel that God is our Heavenly Father, yearning to make us more aware of what we consequently partakers of all the joys and delights that spring from that life. And no voice that ever entered human ear can compare with the fullness and sweetness of that voice when it is heard. It is the voice that has spoken unto you that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full." Fairness. Let us-be open-minded and fair toward all men; let us judge them, but not prejudge them. Let us treat others as we would have them treat us. THE SAVARNAH TRIBURE Establishod 1875 | By JOHN H.

Sarurpar, Jaxvany 29, 1910 Iprz young men and women are truly a menace to race uplift. ey , In a resptctful way we should ‘seek for the righting of every wrong. ‘Tune will be no lack of appli- cants for enumerators’ ‘place for the taking of the U. S. census. A number of capable persons have already sent in their application. ‘Tne annual conferences at Tus- kegee have done more to give vi- gor and inspiration to our people of all classes, than anything else. It is the great lever of uplift and improvement among the” farmers and laborers. The Tuskegee idea is growing in every community and has also permeated our friends of the opposite race. It would be a great thing ifa number of far- mers in every community could attend these conferences. The conference last week was better than ever. Atuanta ranks thirteenth among the American cities for the annuel number of arrests, All kinds of explanations have been given as an excuse for this showing, The trouble in a nut shellis that the police have been two polific in ar- resting colored persons. One of the daily papers said, and it is true, that “The police sometimes, if noteften, make arrests without provocation. The recorder him- self recalls a number of cases in which men were brought before him on no substSntiated charges. Officers should exercise a close discretion in this matter, for a Beedless arrest réflects upon the law. Bisror Reess in his address be- fore the Episcopal Convention at Americus, relative to the colored people, said in separating them in classes, that ‘“There are many who are exceptional in many ways, in- dustrious, sober; -capable and honest. There are some who are educated and refined. The latter we sce and know little of. They are forming a life apart from ours.” We notothis because there are such few white publicists who will give us: proper credit, but generally class all of us with the masses that are seen always in public. We are anxious for our white friends to know more about the home life, industry and thrift of a large pér cent. of otir people, By this means they will be better enabled to judge us. iiWe Haye no Ladies Here,?? ‘Wednesday last @ representative of one of the insurance companies had oecasion to visit the Georgia Infirmary to pay the sick cluim of a policy olfler, :He. politely ap- proached the matron and asked for the policy holder, using the word “lady.” ‘The matron replied heatedly ‘and #ith emphasis, that ‘‘We have no ladies here!” The representative noting her dis- position, refrained from any son- tention, especially as he was anx- ious for the unfortunate member to get the amount due, The amount was turned over to the matron who gave a receipt for it, Indignation has been expressed by all who heard about the affair. No one objects to the fixed idea of the matron in saying that “We have no ladies here,” because it is felt that it will not be changed. Strenuous objection is made, though, to her discourteous treat- ment of those who visit the hos- pital. No longer than Tuesday Jast, it is reported that she in a very uncouth manner ordered out some visitors who were there about the clesing hour. There have been much complaints about her manner of treating visitors, etc., so much so that friends who are inclined to lend aid te the hos- pital ‘have become luke warm, It is assured that the matron’s action will not be approved by the of- ficials of the institution, who are among our foremost citizens and who would not in any manner give an offense, especially to those who are.less fortunate in life, Meeting of Churchmen. f The annual council of Colored. Churchmen of the Diocese of Geor- gia, was held in Augusta, January sth, 19th and 20th. The coucil showed a decided improvement on e all lines» During the last year confirmation classes have been pre- sented in allthe churches, ‘The Bunday ‘school enrollment.bas in- creased and work done in parochal schools have been very encourag- ing. Daring the council the Bish- op delivered two very able ad- dresses which expressed his inter. est in the colored work and his intentions of fostering and build. ing it up. The remarks of th Bishop expressing the practica side of religion and its relation t morals were well received, anc his encouragement toward self-helt was heartily in accerd with the de sire of the council. The counci adjourned to meet at Brunswick Ga., next year. S¢ Philip Dets. ees ee ee ee ce eee preached at lia. m. and 8 p. m, both of which services was well at- tended; At the morning service choir and congregation sang “Guide me O thou great Jehovah,” Rev.

Pat was’ honest to the core,” was the re ply that came. trom the widow as the visitors tried’ to say something con-| soling. “Th8. world called him a. gambler, hut Pat end I didn't care) what the world sald," she added. ‘Sheedy wasn't afraid to die. One of the last things he sald was: | “I'll take my chance with the oth- ers. I guess St. Peter won't be hard ‘on ine.” Shéedy had been expecting death almost daily for six months, but friends who visited him say that he Kepty to the end the same cheerful outlodk that he always had on tap in days of heatth; whether facing the ‘wheel flat broke under the shadow of the pyramids in Egypt or laying his Jast dollar in lesg romantic haunts, in this,city. | “['m not afraid. I know I’m gofng to get a square deal. I'll have a bet- ter ‘chance there than I had here, and/I don’t think I've done so worse. ‘The,Maker plays no favorites,” was the fway Pat“commented on his ap- proaching end: ‘Tho; gambler didn’t know whether the fact that he had confessed and had received absolution would help himjeiuch on bls way or not. « “If Ut does, so much the betters if it, does not, then there will be no harm done,” was his way of looking atit ‘Sheedy used to argue that he was = very much better man than some respectable New Yorkers who weren't classed as outlaws. He had been tirough the college of experience and had learned never to turn a deat ear, toa man whose luck was down. That, .as Sheedy. saw the world, was what ‘most peopie had not learned, and in having mastered this lesson he fis- ured he was Just so much better than they were. “Circumstances make a man what he 1s,” Pat has sald. “We are not <BM-pacers or trotters. We have our own gait; and we go that gait, and that gait is fate. Why, even fat is fate. I'vo never caten more than a ‘Dird,.and why am I dying of fat? It’s my fate.” “Sheedy often told his friends that ‘in all his ups and downs of life he erived his greatest happiness from making others happy, That was fwhat prompted Sheedy when he was Hush to give a helping hand to such ‘notorious, criminals as Adam Worth and Ed Guerin, Sheedy had no patience with the conventionallties that made one form of gambling 2 criminal offense and tolerated another as respectable. | “What! {s the ‘great speculator In wheat but a gambler Ike myself?” he used to say. “He has owned millions and millions, of bushels, but he never possessed one in his life. ‘Only the law protects him and ostra- cizes me. I’ve got my life insured for the benefit of my wife; the company ,Wnilinstired in bets I won't die this year. .

Few business men have Aevotcd themselves more untiringly to their work than I ‘have to mine. ‘But thé best ‘fius falls at.times, and the taro Binks have broken me as smany times or more times than I have broken them.

Jerome made the rald on evidence supposed to have been obtained by “Sleuth” Jacobs. Jacobs charged that the Canfleld game was crooked. Jerome threatened to call Sheedy to his office to explain what he knew about gambling in the city, and Sheedy replied: “I suppose the District Attorney's remarks concerning me were brgught forth by_gomething I said about bis gambler who has turned Informer. T have no means of knowing who the man fs, but I uever duck anything I have said. ,Therefore I repeat that I do not believe this informer ever set foot inside of Canfield’s, and I say again that Richard Canfleld {s the greatest gambler in the world, bar none, and that his game {s as straight ‘as a Quaker meeting {s solemn.” It wash't many weeks atter Sheedy had sald this that Mr. Jerome dis- covered that Jacobs was faking and that ho never had been Inside tho Canfield house. Pat Sheedy was discreet., He do- clined a challenge to get Into’an argu- ‘ment with Mr. Jerome on the subject of gambling. « “It's a great thing, my boy, to ‘know when you're well off,” he said. “The chdp who's always in hot water may think he’s happy, but he wouldn’t know happiness by sight. ‘So long as I can make a Nving and give a ton of coal now and then of a hard winter to my mother,jn-law and con my wife into believing that she might have gone further and fared worse I'm satisfled to rest easy and not go around hunting for a con- troversy. Any fool can get into an argument, but it's a wise man that ‘steers clear of it” " Sheedy's friends said that he prob- ably did not leave more than a few ‘thousand ‘dollars, enough to keep his ‘widow for the rest of her days. He did not make'this money by gambling, ‘but from his little art store in West ‘Thirty-fourth street. In fact, Sheedy, ‘it was said, quit the game a few years ‘ago as poor as when he entered it, although In the course of his career ho had won several small fortunes. Ho said that the public always had a mistaken notion about the money that gamblers make. “Put this down,” he sald, “that the gambler has a harder time of it than any other business man. Once in a while he gets what slow going, plod- ding folks might call a great deal of money, but it never lasts long. fore often he 1s obliged to borrow his Ilv- ing expenses from his friends, and Pat Sheedy {s no exception.” Sheedy had a high regard for the ‘Buglish as gamblers. “Englishmen will pay thelr gam- ‘bling debts before they will their tailors,” he told his friends. “The Germans, particularly German army ‘officers, are about as good. I wish I could say ag much for my own countrymen as I can for the English, but when Americans gamble abroad they sometimes forget that there is ‘none of their money left in the bank at home and they are addicted to the habit or arguing that money lost in gambling can’t be collected.” “Sheedy had no use for the French ‘as gamblers. | “Don’t speak of them,” he used to say. “Anything you can get out of a Frenchman you ought to take home and have framed. And the Italians are worse than the French.” Many storles were told by Sheedy’s old cronies of the hard times he*had Im finding a place to lay his money after he got hfs reputation as 2.“bank breaker.” “At Hot Springs, Ark.,” said one, ‘The venoms of serpents, lshes, scorpions, centipédes, spiders, bees, ete, as well as the blood of the cel, owe thelr virulence to the presence of toxins similar to those which are se- creted by bacteria. In both cases the toxins are specific products of the ac- tivity of living cells. They are very poisonous, non-crystallizable colloids, of unknown chemical constitution. ‘The venom toxins are very sensitive to the action of heat and light, are easily destroyed by digestive ferments and consequently are innocuous when swallowed. There is a great varicty of these toxins. Snake poison alone contains half a dozen distinct toxins, each of which exerts a specific action on the nervous system, the red or the ‘white blood corpuscles, ete. It is possible to produce in any ani- mal an artificial condition of immu- nity to the effects of any animal yenom. This is accomplished by the repeated injection of the venom in ‘doses, each of which fs too small to cause death: After a larger or small- er number of injections the animal acquires the power to resist the action of many fimes the quantity of venom that would suffice to cause death if it ‘were infected Into the veins of 2 non- immpnized animal. The-bloga of.the ‘immunized animals now contains a new ‘substance, an antitoxin which has the property of neutralizing the toxim of the venom, and ‘this blood (or rather its watery part, or serum) | may be employed to combat the toxic id 3a" ° “they barred Pat because he’had lost. He bought $500 worth of chips and @ropped the entire lot. The next day he returned to the clubhouse, ‘asked for $500 more and the proprietor seld: ‘Mr. Sheedy, I'm an‘old man and I have to sleep nights I'd rather you wouldn't play in my house.’ He tried It in two other gambling houses at the Springs, and in each place after he had lost his first pile they barred him, ‘Then he left Arkansas In dis- gust.” Another of Pat's friends told of an cxperfence he had had {n Charles- ton, S.C. He had bought a goad stack of faro chips and was about $300 to the good, when tho.proprietor of the placé“heard somebody call him Sheedy. “Ain't your name Pat Sheedy?” the dealer asked. “It 1s and I’m proud of it,” sald the winner. “Well, I'm sorry; but we can't let you play any more,” sc:d the dealer. “We haven't any bank rolls handy to meet your high rolling.” Some of Sheedy’s friends used to circulate reports when Pat hit a strange city that he wanted-to wreck a gambling house just for the sport of it, and they would sit back and watch every gambling house proprie- tor worry for fear that Pat would select his “joint.” One man sald that there wasn’t n good sporting man in the :country who would have refused to stake Pat Sheedy at any game and without se- | curity at that. He recalled an inct- dent that happened in Boston. | Pat had™spent some time in Sara- (toga and luck was against him. He came down to Boston, and the first night he was In town he went against a faro game that broke him. Pat walked into a certain bank whose president had the reputation of being a good fellow. He was ushered into the president's office and sald: “I cdme to borrow $1000 from your bank,” “What is your security?” was the first question. 2 “simply my word,” replied, Pat. “That won't do in the banking business. Who are you?” asked the president. “Pat Sheedy, the gambler,” was the reply. -_ “After a short talk,” sald one of Pat’s friends, “the banker : handed over $1000 from hfs personal ac- count. Two days later Pat entered the bank and repaid it.” _ It was a loan of $2000 that Adam Worth made to Pat in John Condon’s gambling house In Chicago that led to the récovery of the famous Gains- borough painting. Pat was broke, when a stranger who had been win- ning ‘heavily pushed a roll of bills into his hand. Sheedy demurred, but the stranger insisted. Sheedy asked for the stranger's name, but ho Jaughed and sald: “You'll see me again.” It was sixteen years after this that the two met in Constantinople, Sheedy as the proprietor of a gam- bling house in that city and the lender of the money, Adam Worth, as an escaped prisoner. Sheedy fur- nished the money with which Worth got out of Turkey and Worth gave him the information which led to the recovery of the valuable painting.— New York Sun.

This natural Immunity is ex- plained by the presence of antitoxins in the blood of these animals: Ser- pents are also little affected by.their own venom. In general it is almost impossible to kill a venomous animal by inoculating it with the venom of its own species, of which it can sapyort very large dose with impunity, %. ‘These facts demonstrate the dbsur- dity of the stories of rattlésnakes ‘and scorpions committing suicide, by means of their own venom.

Has Proved a Great Success—Thousands Say It's the Best Thing They Ever Grew. The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the marvelous garden fruit originated by Luther Burbank, and introduced by John Lewis Childs, the well-known Seedsmans, of Floral Park, N. Y., has proved a great success all over the country. Thousands of people say it is the best thing they ever grew. Mr. John Burroughs, the well-known author, Naturalist and bosom friend of Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the most delicious ple berry he ever tasted, and a marvelous cropper. A Director of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station says, it fruits abundantly even in pure sand. In the short season of North-western Canada it is a godsend, and fruits long after frost has killed most garden truck. D. S. Hall, Wichita, Kan., says thirty people grew it there last season with perfect satisfaction. K. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says it yields $250 worth of fruit per acre with him. Mrs. J. H. Powers, 4732 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised enough berries on a space 4x10 feet to supply herself and friends. J. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its equal for all purposes does not exist. Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove, Cali, says he likes the berries served in any and every way. W. T. Davis, Enon, Va., says it is true to description in every way, and fruits in three months from seed. Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circuit Court, says the Wonderberry is simply delicious raw or cooked. Mr. Childs exhibited one plant five months old bearing 10,375 berries which measured about eight quarts. Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New Mexico, says it stands long, hard droughts of that climate and fruits abundantly all summer. It is certainly the most satisfactory garden fruit and the greatest Novelty ever introduced. One is not so particular whether the ice man is on time or not, now.

"In Dowlais, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a druggist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse; as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years.

Some people are as grouchy over the weather as though you did it to spite them. PALACE OF BBILICAL KING IS UNEARTHED. Seat of Apries, Contemporary of Jeremiah, Disclosed by Excavations at Memphis. Professor Flinders Petrie, in giving an account of the work of the British School of Archaeology, said the great result of this year at Memphis has been the discovery of the palace of King Apries, the Pharaoh Hophr of the Bible, who was a contemporary of Jeremiah, B. C. 629-583. Hitherto no palace has been known in Egypt beyond the tower at Medinet Habu and some remains of a rather earlier date. Following are the details of the palace: Length, 400 feet, very impressive; breadth, 200 feet; middle court, 100 feet square; painted columns forty feet high; seven stone-lined walls fifteen feet thick. The approach to the palace led up through a large mass of buildings to a platform at a height of about sixty feet above the plain. In the ruins a scale armor, hitherto rarely found in Egypt, was discovered. Good bronze figures of gods were also found. What Professor Petrie described as the one supreme piece was a fitting of a palanquin of solid silver, a pound in weight, decorated with a bust of Hathor with a gold face of the finest workmanship of the time of Apries the Great. A gateway and immense walls descending deep into the mound indicated that there lay ruins of successive palaces built one over the other. Professor Petrie predicted that in six or eight years the excavators might dig down to the earliest records of the Egyptian Kingdom. THE GREAT LAWYER. Theory That He is Born and Not Made is Asserted. This is an age of investigation and of speculation. All sorts of inquiries are propounded, such as "What is a Democrat?" And now we have the question: "What is a lawyer?" One respectable and eminent authority answers that he must have a collegiate training and get his law learning in a law school, else he can never expect to be other than a "case lawyer," and not much of that. One opinion is that lawyers are born, not made. Unless one have the "legal mind," all the colleges and all the study in the world will not make a lawyer of him, and if he be gifted with the legal mind he will get to be a great lawyer, although he never saw a college and never read half the textbooks. Abraham Lincoln was one of them. Robert Burns never went to college, but he ranks among the greatest poets of all the world. Ben Hardin of Kentucky never attended a law school, but he was the equal of any lawyer our country has produced. To be a great lawyer, one must understand the philosophy, the science of it. All the study in the world, in college or out of college, and all the experience the court room can supply, will not reveal the philosophies of the great principles of our jurisprudence, and yet your greatest lawyer, however much he understands the reason, of "the rule," must make himself acquainted with the history of the rule, when it was established, and the conditions that called it into being. John Marshall was not a learned lawyer. He was not versed in the precedents as Story was, or as any other one of his associates on the bench was; but he knew the principle and applied it to every case, and he cared not whether there was precedent or not. If there was, all well and good; if there was not, he established the precedent. Your "case lawyer" can give no opion onhand. He must search the precedents; but your great lawyer applies the philosophy of the law to given facts and he flings precedents to the winds if they be contrary to his conception. Hence from the "bench we have "leading cases." The late William Lindsay, when on the Supreme bench of Kentucky, rendered an opinion about rents for the occupancy of real estate, or something of that kind—for this paper is a layman and cannot hope to be versed in the nomenclature of the profession. Judge Lindsay adjudicated in reversal of the precedents of America since its first settlement by the Anglo-Saxon and in reversal of the precedents of England for centuries, and to-day his decision is a precedent and is cited as conclusive authority in the courts of Great Britain. Lindsay never attended a law school. He did not have to. He was a natural-born lawyer.—Washington Post. Changed the Pronoun. The old gentleman had prospered in business and took his son into partnership. The young man appreciated this move, but in his newly added dignity became just a little bit too much inclined to take things into his own hands. So his father resolved to demonstrate. "Look here, young man," he said, "let's have a little less 'I' and a little more 'We' in this business. You must remember that you're the junior partner." A week later the son appeared in his father's office looking a little anxious. "I say, dad," he said, "we've been and done it now." "Done what?" snapped the parent.

"The mullet, a small but very palatable fish, is the common diet of the people all along the coast, and is familiarly known as 'Billoxi bacon.' The mullet is caught with a little cast net familiarly known as the 'Billoxi life preserver,' because anybody can go out in a boat at any time and catch fish enough for a meal in a few minutes. "The Louisiana fishermen are called 'cajang' the diminutive of Acadians, and they are the same people whose pathetic story is described in Longfellow's 'Evangeline.' They are scattered all along the coast and make their homes chiefly on the banks of the bayous and inlets, but I have not yet seen any one resembling either Evangela or Gabriel.

But wide az has been their uge and their application among + Christiane of all creeds dnd sects, there is one hymn that overshadows all others, wheter we consider its widespread popularity or its wonderful evangelistic power. _ ‘This hymn is “The Ninety and Nine,” by the late Ira D. Sankey, long the musical associate of Dwight L. Moody, These two men together were the greatest soul winners ever known, and the suc- cess of their united work was undoubtedly largely traceable to Mr. Sankey’s songs In general, and to “The Ninety and Nine” in perticular, Its unique origin hes often been described, but will bear repetition. - “When leaving Glasgow for Edinburgh-with Mr. Moody, Mr. Sankey bought a penny religious paper. Glancing over it as-they rode on the cars, his eyo fell upon a féw verses in the corner of the page. One day, they had an, unusually {mpressive meeting in Edinburgh, in which Dr, Bomar had spok- en' om “The Good Shepherd.” At the close of the address Mr. Moody beckon- ed to his partner to ‘sing sometixing appropriate. “At first he could think of nothing but the Twenty-third Psalm, but that he had sung so often; his second thought was to sing the verses he had found in the paper, but how could ifbe done when he had no tune for them? Then a thought came—to sing the-verses he had found in the paper, anyway. Ho put thé verses, before him, totiched-the keys of the organ, and sang, not know- ing where he was going to come out. He finished the first verse amid pro- found silence. He took a long breath and wondered if he could sing the sec- ond the same way. He tried it and succeeded. After that it was easy to sing i, When he finished the hymn the meeting was all broken down— ‘throngs were crying and ministers were sobbing all around him,” Hundreds were converted then and there, while in subsequent years other thousands of souls were gathered in through the singing of “The Ninety and Nine.” . Clearly the cong was the result of a sudden inspiration so far as its muai- cal setting was concerned, and it maybe doubted if there was ever a sim- ilar case of spontaneous and subsequently successful composition. “The Ninety and Nine” Mterally sang its way around the world. The simple paraphrase of the ecripture parable appeals to “all sorts and conditions of men/’ and the world's hymmology is the richer for that Sunday afternoon inspiration in the Scottish capital which came to Ira D, Sankey.—Milwaukee Sentinel. account outside of their original purpose. Suoh a simpic thing as holding down {ts food with one foot scarcely occurs to an ordinary bird.

Beasts, having twice as many feet as birds, have learned to apply them to many uses. They dig with them, hold down thelr food with them, fondle their children with them, paw theirfriends, and scratch thelr enemies, One does more of one thing and another of anothér, and the feet soon show the ef- fect of the occupation, the claws first, ther the muscles, and even the bones ‘dwindling by disuse, or waxing stout and strong. ‘Then the joy of doing what it cam do-well impels the beest further on the same path, and its off- spring after it. Of all the feet that I have looked at, I know only one more utterly ridicu- lous than the twisted filpper on which the sea Hon props his great bulk in front, and that is the forked fly-fap’wrich extends from the hinder parts of the same.

GOVERNORS ALIVE TO COST OF LIVING AS A PROBLEM In Some States Investigations Already Are in Progress--- Hadley Advocates “Back to the Soil” Movement--- ~~ + Anti-Food Trust League Growing. - 4 ‘Washington, D. C.—As reflected by ‘the views of the Governors now here in conference, the high cost of living is a most acute question throughout the entire country, In some States investigations to ascertain the cause “already are in progress. Governor Harmon of Ohio is inves- tigating the condition through a spe- cial commission:’. Governor Hadley of ‘Missouri will take the subject up with the Legislature when it next meets. ‘Gavernor Harmon said he was not prepared to say what the direct cause of the bigh cost of living is, but he recognized the injury done by great combinations. “Out our way,” said Governor Had- ley, “‘we are agitating a ‘back to the soli” movement that will bear good fruit.” a The Governor says he keeps thrée cows now. “I had chickens, but I had to give -them up when I became Governor; I always have had a garden. Every- ody who ¢an should keep chickens and make a garden. That would help amazingly.” ._ <Gavernor Weeks of Connecticut be- lieves that conditions have been brought about largely by the people sthemselves. “The luxuries of a few years ago ‘for the rich seem to-day to be the ne- scessities of the wage earner,” he de- clared. _ Governor @Ansel of South Carolina thinks the problem too deep for ready solution. The people of his State haven't felt the pressure as keenly as 4n the North, he believes, but “with even the Governor paying fifty per cent. more for his living than several Years ago, it has brought the subject ‘very near to the head of the State.” Governor Curry: of New Mexico ‘says that the cost of Mving isn’t af- fecting the Southwest “in the same ‘proportion as the crowded East." He Wooks upon the operations of combin- -ations as largely responsible for the trouble. Governor Kitchin of North’ Caro- lina recognizes that thero are thou- sands of contributing causes for the high cost of living, but the tariff is the Governor's chief objection, Governor Cromer of Alabama points out that the cotton growers of dls State are not profitizg by the high price of cotton. “They sold their growth many months ago,” he declared. “Some of the planters sold before the crop was ready to be picked.” Governor Draper of Massachusetts preferred not to discuss the matter. Governor Willsonof Kentucky finds the situation acute in his State. Governor Shafroth of Colorado said he had not given the subject much consideration, The same was the case with Governor Shallenberger of Nebraska, Governor Burke of North Dakota, and Governor Carroll of Iowa The latter threa being great agricultural States, the, people are not complaining directly against the ex- -orbitant cost of living, because they are getting high prices for thefr farm products. The Beef Trust is rapped on all hands. “I live comfortably, and I know that it costs me forty per cent. more to keep my family than it did three years ago,” said Representative Fitz~ gerald, of New York, during a debate ‘in the House. “The cost of living jhas been going up steadily for fifteen ‘Years, and it is the maladministratton ‘of the Republican party that is to blame.” ‘Mr. Fitzgerald's outburst was made when the $1,260,000 item in the Ur- gent Deficiency bill for the Commis- sary Department of the army was reached. Chairman Tawney had ex- plained that the soldier's ration had gone up from nineteen to twenty-two cents. The Houso laughed when Francis Burton Harrison, of New York, a multi-millionaire, got up and took ‘his kick at the high price of food stuffs. The Central Labor Union, of Wash- ington, 35,000 strong, has sought al- Mance with the new National Anti- Food Trust League. At the first meeting of the Board of Directors of the league the union's application was accepted.

Cleveland Butchers Promptly Respond to Campaign Against High Cost of Living--Thousands Join Crusade--Adopting Scheme to Follow Veg~ -etarian Diet Until Easter-- National Boycott Plan Proving Popular. Cleveland factories has spread so fast, not only in this city but throughout Ohio, that the first effect camé in the announcement of a straight cut of two cents on certain kinds of meat. Further reductions are expected. The meat dealers are alarmed, and a se- cret meeting of the Butchers’ Protec- tive Association was held to devise means of combating a movement that threatens to become national in scope. Many of the dealers say thelr or- ders have been cut in half in the past two days, and they fear some will be forced out of business. Over 10,000 men in Cleveland factories have al- teady pledsed themselves to abstain from eating meat for at least thirty days, and it is belleved tat fully 100,000 people in this city and sub- urbs will be in the vegetarian class before the week ends. Other cities of the State are following ‘the idea, and Senator Williams’ suggestion that the entire State boycott meat till Baster Sunday is being taken up with an earnestness that means business. Big meat dealers here and the agents of the packers say if the boycott reaches New York City. it wilt sarely force a decided drop in meat pfices throughout the entire Central and At- liantie States. Columbus, Ohio, — A _ resolution <calling upon the people of the Stgte to abstain from meat for the next sixty -days and to subsist entirely on a diet -of vegetables, nuts and fruit for that time was introduce into the House by Representative Tidrick, Chairman Williams, of the High Price Committee, was fairly swamped ‘with mail from all parts of the State containing suggestions as to possible remedies for the situation, many of -which were deemed worthy of consid- -eration. One of the most popular ideas in ‘the rural districts scemed to be that the millers had abandoned the old custom of taking one-eighth of the grain as toll and were now asking twenty-two out of every sixty pounds -of wheat as the toll for grinding. Many women representing women's clubs pointed out that lack of instruc- tion in cooking among the young women of to-day is responsible for the added cost of living by waste and extravagance in many households.” Senator Williams held a long con- -terence with the Attorney-General re- garding the situation, Cleveland, Ohio. — The anti-meat ‘movement that started here a few days ago among the workmen in ae President Taft Proclaims Minimum Tariff Nations.
