VOLUME LII THE WAGE OF OUR DISRESPECT FOR LAW A while ago,we published a short verse by El a Wheeler W ilcox. Its thought was an epitome of what thousands of words addressed to proud mothers could not do so for cibly. It warned that dangerous mother who announces that her own daughter is the one exaction; that hers wall not be bad into fatal sins of temptations but can with stand the evils of any great “white way,” without chaperon. Yes, some think so, but many do not say it. In our ery midst, sadness.and, figuratively speaking, gnashing of teeth by such moth ers have been the wage of pride and deception. Publicity' of mul tipin and instances is of no purpose. Even fathers, and particularly, those w ho for pelf and self or down right mean commercialization of vice, be tolci a few true store s about their own dear daughters, that might stagger them into shame and fatal remorse. It is only one of thousands of pangs of pain this is indeed the wage, the horri ble toll, they pay for their* greed and tor their fond sentiments ag ainst law and order and Christian virtues. There are, indeed, but very few of such lathers. Talk and facts may not reach them, so they do not know. Trysting places are many. Acm cannot stop all vice, but gilded try sting places, dark and secluded sports are commercialize and and this promotes vice. Even, the educa tional value of 1000 moving pic ture films can fie subtracted from Board ot Ed cation. Regular Minting of the Board ef Edu cation, March 0. 1912.

Ok iUatmowm CUcckly Header SUCCESSOR TO THE WATERTOWN.REPUBLICAN. by showing one raw one. The po lice, if interested, could help us out in the matter of rempu'ding the past and present adverse opinion. In the commercial and official life, those in offices of trust, teach law lessness by repressing obedience to those common ethics and stat utory laws forbidding officers to contract or sell to the city. They brazenly keep at spectaculor viola tions of a code of ethics and prin ciples of honor that say one should take ad vantage of fiduciary' rela tionship by looking out for him self first and the public last. They take advantage of a public office. Once it is five dollars for thawing a frozen water pipe and then anoth er ten dollars for another illegal cause. People can collect a huge total by suit at law and return it to our city treasury. That is not the object of this article. The ob ject is not to ignore systematically the principle of the fitness of this law. Technicalities are not sear ched; it is the bad spirit of its vio lators that should and does re ceive public censure. The public sometimes gets angry and then a like petty spirit for technicalities causes the others with a hundred petty spirit expense, trouble and chagrin. Let us not ask for re turns or thousands of dollars, but put the men ahead of the dollars and as such men ask tolerance for this one law at least by our officers. May the spirit of conciliation and liberality attend the re-adjustment of city affairs. Henry Holt Cos., (2 hills) 11.2^ Walert >wn Gas El.

Smoke “Latest Out.” 5c r:gar. Should Have More Supervisors. At the mooting of the Twilight Club, the proposition of dividing the city into fourteen wards, nine in Jefferson county and five in Dodge county, was discussed ami it was the consensus of opinion that it would be a g *od thing for the city, as it would give Watertown a fair and I equitable representation on the two county boards and prevent the im positions which from time to time the city has suffered by being the dumping .ground for increased valuations to help other localities. The fact that the First ward in this city contains about the samfe number of inhabitants as Jefferson and about the same amount of assessable property, and has only one representa tive on the county board while Jefferson has four, should influence our people to make the reapportionment. The cost to the taxpayers will not exceed $l5O. and will be a saving each year in a sum ten times that amount. Attention is called to the fact that at the last meeting of the Dodge county board in the equaliz ing of the taxes, the sum of $50,000 was taken from a village in that, county and added to the valuation of the Sixth ward in this city, making $350,000 added to the valuation of ihe city by th hoards of the two counties, simply be cause they had the power to do it. With a larger representation, it will be more difficult to perpetrate such impositions upon Watertown, and every voter in the city who has the welfare of the city at heart, will not only vote for the change, but do all in his power to make it effec tive and when it has been accomplished, send good men to the county boards, b isines* men, who should be chosen b\ the voters in each ward irrespective of party because of fitness and not because they are seeking the office. Glorious News comes from Dr. J. T. Curtiss. Dwight. Kan. He writes; “I not only have cured bad cases of eczema in my patients with Electric Bitters, but also cured myself by them of the same disease. 1 feel sure they will benefit any case of eczema.” This shows what thousands have proved that Electric Bitters is a most effective blood purifier. It’s an excellent remedy for eczema tetters, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running sores. It stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion, builds up the strength.

It was very thoughtful and kind foi* the ladies of the Saturday club to enter tain the young ladies employed at the i. L. Henry Box factory, which they did Friday evening at the public library meeting room. The entertainment was in the nature of a “shamrock” party, the room being appropriately decorated for the occasion. Mrs. F. E. Woodard gave a very interesting talk on Ireland, illus trated views by means of a radioptican being employed during her talk. Miss Edna Chadwick gave several readings which were also illustrated with radi optican views and were interesting. A luncheon was served and the entertain ment was highly appreciated bv the gue ts of the club.. It is a step in the right direction and will be productive of much good, and such entertainments should be continued from time to time. of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul Railway containing jaff® exhibits of farm products grown in the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho CTt! and Washington, will be at the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul lij Railway Station at W I I WATERTOWN, WIS., APRIL 6TH. |:|t| CAR OPENS 9:00 a. m.; CLOSES 6:00 p. m.

WIS MARCH 22, 1912. Raising Poultry on the Farm. The general-purpose breeds of poultry such as the Plymouth Hocks, Wyan dottes, Rhode Island-Reds and Orping tons should be kept on the farm, rather than small-egg breeds or small mongrel stock. It should also be remembered that the dark-pl uniaged varieties do not a a rule, look as wel l when dressed as poultry of other colors. Usually, more interest is taken with a flock of fowls that are of the same breed and color, and it is an established fact that such a flock produces a more uniform product, which invariably se cures to the owner higher prices than can be derived from the product of a mongrel flock. As soon as the hatching season is over all male birds should he marketed, they having no influence whatever on the number of eggs laid, and eggs produced by flocks composed of females only, keep much better than eggs from hens that are all iwed to run with males. As soon as the cockerels w r eigh three quarters of a pound they should be penned for 10 or 12 days and fed all they will eat of corn chop or a wet mash composed of 2 parts corn meal, 1 part bran and one part low-grade flour. If this mixture can be dampened with skim milk, it will add much to its fat tening and bleaching qualities. Birds that are being fattened should be fed in troughs rather th in in litter, as exer cise at this time is not conducive to rap id gains in weight. The birds should be kept as quiet as possible. Let the Band? Play. A move is on foot in Watertown for the holding of a band convention during the coming summer, probably in the month of June, the date, however, not having been decided upon by those in terested in the project, which will be a good tiling for the city if such a conven tion shall be held. Prizes that will be alluring will be offered which will have a marked tendency to entice bauds to come from all of the cities and villages in southern Wisconsin. The gentlemen having the nutter in charge are Edward L. Schempf, Otto Wegemaun, H. Wert heimer, G. M. Gahlmann, Carl F. Otto, Fred A. Bittner and the Military Baud supp trling the project. You Are Invited. Next Monday evening", the Twilight Club will have as their guests Hon. Henry M> Irea, ex-attorney general of Wisconsin, and John Lament, mayor of Wausau, both of whom will deliver ad dresses after the banquet at the Hotel Commercial,in the assembly room at the city hall. All citizens interested are in vited to be present and to listen to the visitors, who will speak of the advan tages of Wisconsin for home building. Everybody should avail themselves of the opportunity to hear them. Janitor at New Post Office. Henry Bnege, who has been the janitor at the public library building since it was occupied as a library, has been ap pointed janitor of the new government post office and entered upon his duties. There were sixty applicants who took the civil service examination and Mr. Bnege is to be congratulated that he se cured the place. The salary is s6*3o per annum. Good for Our Boys. Friday eveuing, debating teams from Columbus and Watertown high schools met in the assembly room of the high school in this city and debated the ques tion: Resolved, That trial by jury should be abolished. The Watertown team, con sisting of Wallace Thauer, Alvin Breu demuchl and Peter Brooks, took the af firmative side of the question, and made strong arguments in favor of their con tention, so much so, that the judges, consisting of Superintendent Buell of Janesville, Superintendent Clough of Portage and Superintendent Keats of Oetmomowoc gave an unanimous decis ion in their favor. There was a large audience present to hear the discussion and Hon. William F. Voss presided at the meeting. The same evening another team from our high school consisting of Alva Soldner, Jack Coughlin and George Lewandowski debated the same question at Beaver Dam with a high school team of that city, taking tne negative and winning a victory, Watertown Boy Injnred. George Block of Milwaukee, a plumber and son of Chief of Police Block of this city, met with a painful and nearly fatal accident. Shortly after 1 o’clock Monday, George and another man were at work on a scaffold at Schlitz brewery, which collapsed hurling them to the ground thirty feet below, injuring George’s head, and fracturing the right ankle of his companion. Both were con veyed to the Emergency hospi'al and the unfortunate men made as comfortable as possible. It was thought at first, that George had received a concussion of the brain, but fortunately it was found oth erwise. Chief Block went to Milwaukee Monday afternoon to be with his sou until he was out of danger. For School Commissioner. Winfield S. Williams is a candidate for school commissioner for the Fourth ward to supercede Dr. M. O’Malley who is not a candidate for re-election. Mr. Williams is one of the best citizens in this city and interested in the prosperity and success of our city schools. He is thoroughly equipped for the position and it elected, will make a painstaking member of the board of education and fav r every proposition which has for its ooject, the betterment of the schools of Watertown. The Clyman News. The Clvman Cash Store News is grow ing and extending its influence in that section. This month, it is a four column eight page quarto full of information both local and general, and attractive advertisements. The enterprising pro prietor of the Cash Store is spending both time and money to boom Clyman and should have the hearty co-operation of every citizen of that enterprising village. Will Build an Addition. An addition to the Lutheran Home for Feeble-Minded is to be erected this sea son to cost |15,0"0, the board of directors having so determined, Architect L. A. W illeuboekel is drafting the plans which when finished and the weather will per mit, the work will begin. HR OF PETITION MEETS OPPOSITION Editor of the Leader; —As inter est in the public welfare demands that justice be done to the citizen ship of our city, I believe that the matter of the petition of the voters to change the method of electing the street commissioner, city at torney and city engineer should be properly presented to your readers. The petition in question contain ed 1029 signatures, being about 60 per cent of the number of voters who voted at the last general elec tion. Only 30 per cent of such number is required under the stat ate. Does any reasonable person presume that this number was fraudulent? The petition was filed on the 6th da} r of March, in the office of the city clerk, and the mayor was in the office, I understand, at the time. This was twenty-seven days before election, and the law only requires that it be filed fifteen da'ys before election. Let it be understood, that the petition was filed in due time, and that no blame can be attached to anyone connected with the filing of the same or to those signing the petition or those circulating the same. The entire blame of the petition ers not securing their rights under the law, rests wholly with the men in office and who are being paid out of the taxpayers’ money to per form their duty. Kind reader, is it not nearly time to suspect that a house-cleaning is necessary? Are we to permit the government of our city to remain in the hands of those who decline to act under the law, even when a majority of the voters demand it? It would ap pear that we have no right to pe tition and if things continue as the indicator points, you had better .ake out an indemnity policy to pro tect your vote. It is most absurd to claim that the petition was not filed within the required time. It is only a method to thwart the will of the people. Any attorney knows that an order could be obtained to have the names of candidates entered A Milk Ordinance. Isn’t it about time that the common council passed a milk ordinance? Wa tertown is the only city of its size in the state that has not such an ordinance to protect its people from imposition. Many think that they are paying too much for water, with the river and city water so handy. It might be well to pass such an ordinance and designate the sealer of weights and measures to see to its enforcement. Shoemakers Organize. A local branch of the Boot and Shoe Workers Union, to be known as Local Union No. 378, was organized in Water town Friday evening and is composed of employes of the Beals Torrey Shoe Cos here. The union will meet on the first and third Friday in each month. The officers elected are as follows: President—George L. Krueger. Vice President—Charles Dollase. Financial Secretary—Walter Zarwell. Recording Secretary—lda Kuehl. Treasurer—Anna Boltz. Executive Board —Walter Zarwell, Anton Sohrweide, Addie Luebke, August Gehrke, Isadore Fendt. Trustees—James Anderson, Edwin Bandeiin, Manda Ruske. L ibel Committee—Emil Draeger, El mer Jacobson, Anton Sohrweide. Conductor—Arthur Otto. Sentinel—W’illiam Beckmann. Turners Elect Officers- At the regular annual meeting of the Watertown Turners, the following offic ers were elected for the ensuing year: President—W illiam Grossert. Vice President—Kuno Kuehn. Secretary—Herman Hilgendorf. Corresponding'Secretary— Otto Kohls. Treasurer—Edward Speeht. Second Treasurer —Carl Block. Theatre Director—Emil Tanck. Manager—Joseph Glaus. Turning School Director —August Henze. Smoke "Latest Out.” Sc cigar. on the ballot. And all attorneys know that if this were done, “the proper authorities” would doubt less have the order appealed from. Thus delaying the matter until af ter this election. Your remedy is to put up candi dates for every office, and let the candidates be non-partisan, and I feel satisfied that if they are of the right kind, each will be elected. It is time to get into the munici pal business. It is a large busi ness. It is a business that handles a very large amount of money. It is your money. Don’t you think it is time to find out how it is being done? We should see to it that each voter makes a committee of one and select candidates we can unite upon for the various offices and we can elect them. Is the present city hall crowd greater than the people who elect ed them? In the matter of the pe tition herein referred to, all the re quirements of the law, as far as the petitioners are concerned, were wholly and fully complied with. Read the law: “in cities of the fourth class the clerk and other officers may be elected by the electors at the same tlVne and in the same manner as other officers are elect ed, upon a petition asking there fore being filed in the office of the city clerk fifteen days prior to any regular municipal election, signed by thirty per cent, of the electors of such city who voted at the last general election then next pending as appears from the poll list. It shall be the duty of the coun cil and the proper officers of any city of the fourth class to give no tice of, call for and order the elec tion at the next election, and there after at each succeeding election, the officer or officers whose title of office is specified in such petition.” It hardly takes a lawyer to un derstand the above language and it shows conclusively that the pe tition was filed in full compliance with the law. Get Busy. Good Saint Remembered. The good St. Patrick was remembered here Sunday. The shamrocks were num erous and the pastor of St. Bernard’s church preached an eloquent sermon in the forenoon in which he did full justice to Ireland’s Patron Saint.

“Hope—Hope!” far northern sky there rose a black speck, growing larger and larger; oth ers came from the east and west, beat ing the air with widely outspread wings, great beaks stretched forward. Out from their nests of foulness the desert scavengers were coming for their spoil. CHAPTER XXXVII. At the Water-Hole. Up from the far, dim southwest they rode slowly, silently, wearied still by the exertions of the past night, and burned by the fierce rays of the desert sun. No wind of sufficient force had blown since Keith passed that way, and they could easily follow the hoof prints of his horse across the sand waste. .Bristoe was ahead, hat brim draw r n low, scanning the horizon line unceasingly. Somewhere out in the midst of that mystery was hidden tragedy, and he dreaded the knowl edge of its truth. Behind him Fair bain and Hope rode together, their ups Jong since grown silent, the man ever glancing uneasily aside at her, the girl drooping slightly in the saddle, w'ith pale face and heavy eyes. Five prisoners, lashed together, the bind ing rope fastened to the pommels of the two “Bar X” men’s saddles, were bunched together, and behind all came Neb, his black face glistening in the heat. Suddenly Bristoe drew rein, and rose to the full length in the stirrups, shading his eyes from the sun’s glare, as he stared ahead. Two motionless black spects were visible —yet were they motionless? or was it the heat waves which seemed to yield them movement? He drove in his spurs, driving his startled horse to the summit of a low sand ridge, and again halted, gazing intently forward. He was not mistaken —they were horses. Knowing instantly what it meant those riderless animals drifting dere lict in the heart of the desert —his throat dry with fear, the scout wheeled, and spurred back to his party, quickly resolving on a course of action. Hawley and Keith had met; both had fallen, either dead or wounded. A moment's delay now might cost a life; he would need Fair bain. but he must keep the girl back, if possible. Lut could he? She straightened up in the saddle as he came spurring toward them; her eyes wide open, one hand clutching at her throat. "Doctor,’’ he called as soon as he was near enough, his horse circling, “thar is somethin' showin’ out yon der I’d like ter take a look at, an I reckon you better go Tong. The nig ger kin com’ up ahead yere with Miss Waite.” She struck her horse, and he plunged forward, bringing her face to face with Bristoe. "What is it? Tell me. what is it?” "Nothin’ but a loose boss. Miss." “A horse! here on the desert?” looking about, her eyes dark with hor ror. "But how could that be? Could —could it be Captain Keith s?” Bristoe cast an appealing glance at Fairbain. mopping his face vigorously, not knowing what to say, and the oth er attempted to turn the tide. “Not likely—not likely at all —no reason why it should be —probably just a stray horse —you stay back here. Miss Hope—Ben and I will find out, and let you knowr." "No. I'm going.” she cried, stifling a sob in her throat “It would kill me to wait here.” She was off before either might raise hand or voice in protest, and they could only urge their horses in effort to overtake her. the three ra cing forward fetlock deep In sand. Mounted upon a swifter animal Fair- Lain lorged ahead; he could see the two horses now plainly, their heads uplifted, their reins dangling. With- out perceiving more he knew already what was waiting there on the sand, and swore fiercely, spurring his horse mercilessly, lorgetful of all else, even the girl, in his intense desire to .reach and touch the bodies. He had begged to do this himself, to be privil-yged to seek this man Hawley, to kill him but now he was the physician, with no other thought except a hope to save. Before his horse had even stopped he flung himself from the saddle, ran forward and dropped on his knees be side Keith, bending his ear to the chest, grasping the wrist in his tin gers. As the others approached, he glanced up. no conception now of aught save hi° V he ruddy glow of flame flashing across his face. He heard voices faintly, and thus, little by little, con sciousness asserted itself and memory struggled back into his bewildered brain The desert —the lonely leagues of sand —h’.s fingers gripped as If they felt the stock of a gun—yet that was all over —he was not there —but he was somewhere—and alive, alive It hurt him to move, to breathe even, and after one effort to turn over, he lay perfectly still, staring up into the black arch of sky, endeavoring to think, to understand —where was he? How had he come there? Was Haw ley alive also? A face bent over him. the features faintly visible in the flash of firelight. His dull eyes lit up in sudden recollection. “Doc! is that you?” “Sure, old man,” the pudgy fingers feeling his pulse, the gray eyes twmk ling. “Narrow squeak you had —go- ing to pull through all right, though— no sign of fever.” “Where am I?” “At the water-hole; sling you in a blanket, and get you into Lamed to morrow.” There was a moment’s silence Keith finding it hard to speak. “Hawley—?” he whispered at, last. “Oh, don’t worry; you got him all right. Say,” his voice sobering, “may be it w 7 as just as well you took that job. If it had been me I would have been in bad.” The wounded man’s eyes questioned "It’s a bad mix-up, Keith. Waite never told us all of it. 1 reckon he didn’t want her to know, and she never shall, if 1 can help it. I’ve been looking over some papers in his pock et —he’d likely been after them this trip—and his name ain’t Hawley. He 3 Bartlett Gale. Christie’s father." Keith could not seem to grasp the thought, his eyes half-closed. “Her—her father?” he questioned weakly. “Do you suppose he knew?’ “No; not at first, anyhow'; not at Sheridan. He was too interested in his scheme to even suspicion he had actually stumbled onto the real girl. 1 think he just found out.” A coyote howled somew'here In the darkness, a melancholy chorus joining in the with long-drawn cadence. A shadow swept into the radius of danc ing firelight. “Is he conscious, Doctor?” Fairbain drew back silently, and she dropped on her knees at Keith’s side, bending low to look into his face. “Hope—Hope.” "Yes, dear, and you are going to live now —live for me.” He found her hand, and held It, clasped within his own. his eyes wide open. "I have never told you.” he said, softly, "how much I love you.” She bent lower until her cheek touched his. "No, Jack, but you. may now 7 THE END. THESE ARE YOUR ANCESTORS When One Considers Their Vast Num ber Pride of Descent Seems Very Foolish. Are you proud of your ancestors? Of how many of them? Since the beginning of the Chris tian era—a mere 1911 years—you have had 139.235,017,489,534,976 ancestors Imagine, if you can. how many per sons were needed since the beginning of the world to bring you forth —you, who are reading this now. It works the other w 7 ay, too. If a single cou ple had started 5,000 years ago to pop ulate the world, and everybody had grown to maturity and married at the age of 21, the earth’s population would be 2,199,915, followed by 144 ciphers. However, this world would not hold them all; it would not be large enough To give all these people breathing space the size of the world would have to be multiplied by 3.166.526, fol lowed by 125 ciphers. That is the only way in w 7 hich these enormous numbers can be expressed. How futile, then, is ancestor wor ship! Every one of us. high or low. has had in his ancestry kings and peasants, criminals and saints; it is almost impossible to name any one of one’s own race to whom one can not prove in some way a remote rela tionship IT REMINDED HIM OF HOME Big Gale at Sea Had No Terrors for the Passenger From the Cy clone State. A native of one of the most west ern of the United States of America was crossing the Atlantic in rough weather. One morning he went up on deck when a big gale was blowing Nobody was in sight except the captain “Go below 7 there!” shouted the cap tain.

The appearance of the Wilson’* creelt battle field a year ami trore alter ibis ooscure Missouri valley be came boown to all the country is scribed in a letter written November 24, 1862, by tbe late Capt. William Van Gundy of the Ninety-fourth Illi nois regiment, which was concerned in the Arkansas-Missouri campaign of that season The letter is now in the possession of Captain Van Gundy’s grandson, A. L. Benedict of Franklin Park, 111 It is, in part, as follows; ”W ilson’s creek. Mo., Nov. 24, 1862. I wrote you two letters since we left Springfield, in which 1 gave you an account of our march up to the twenty-first, when we were camped on the James river. We left there the next morning and traveled about a mile w r est, when we were halted and two companies were detailed to build a bridge across tbe river. This was done by piling up rails In the water for pillars about fifteen feet apart; then logs were laid from one pile to the other for sills; then rails were laid across on the logs for a floor to Avalk on The bridge was about 100 feet long It took about one and one half hours to build it. We crossed over with dry feet, but we did not stop to put the rails back on the fence again. ‘After we had crossed the river we kept bearing tn the north until we struck the main road from Springfield to Cassville. Then we came about a mile toward Springfield to Wilson creek, where we camped and wo are still here, Herron’s w 7 hole division is camped here, about 10,000 men Tot ten’s division is about ten miles south. We are about one and one-balf miles south of the battle ground. “Yesterday was a beautiful Sabbath day, and Henry, Ad. Branaman. Gip Watkins and John Furr and myself ■went over to see the battle ground. We followed the road until we cam© to a large frame house, where they told us Price had his cannon planted in front and about fifteen feet from the house. It was here that Slgel took Price’s cannon and burned his train of wagons. The house shows the ef v evlA 7 St'S -=S5=S* W*** “There Is a Pile of Rocks Where Ho Fell.” fects of the battle. The weather boarding is pierced with musket balls. One twelve-pound cannon ball went clean through the kitchen and a piece of a shell cut its way through the cor nice. “We went on about half a mile northwest of this house and we came to the spot where General Lyon was killed I confess that as I went up to the place ihere was a feeling came over me different from anything I ever experienced before. I had read over and over about the battle and his death, not dreaming that I would ever see the place, but here I was. right on the very spot where he fell. The spot is kept sacred. There is a pile of rocks where he fell, and every body that goes to see the place puts a stone on the pile. I put two, and all that were with me did the same The bones of his two horses are lying about twelve feet from where be fell. It is a very rough and uneven place for a battle. There are trees and bushes all over It. and there Is hardly a tree or bush that escaped the bul lets.’’ Shaved the “Barber." An Irishman who was a general fa vorite In the One Hundred and Ninety seventh Ohio, had a w 7 eak point—his too great fondness for “the craythure.” To get this latter he would risk almost anything, and seldom if ever was bis kit without some missing article. One day there was an inspection of the regiment by a Col. Barber. As is tbe custom, each man’s kit is display ed on the ground at his feet, and on the kit is'placed one pair of shoes (the other pair, of course, being on his feet). One by one the men were inspected, and when Pat’s turn came, contrary to the general expectation, be was passed. The colonel w r as busy w-ith the next man when, breathing a sigh of relief. Patrick, winking, whis pered to his neighbor; “Ach, shure, an’ haven’t 1 shaved the Barber this time?’’ The colonel heard him, and in stantly turned to Pat. “Tell me what you mean by that,” demanded the colcmel, and upon my .word of honor I’ll do nothing to you. At this Pat kicked the kit from be fore him and displayed to view a pair ■>f pare feet, amidst the laughter of the vhole regiment, in which the colone also was forced to join. P mrm

The primaries will be held on April 2. the day of the spring election, and the special elections on April 26. Gov. McGovern said that he did not believe that the special session of the legislature would last more than ten days or two weeks. Bills on the ten subjects to be considered, and under the call no other subjects can come up, will be prepared by the legislative reference bureau before the legislature convenes and copies sent to the members. Any member of the legislature may have bills drafted by the bureau on these sub jects. The last special session of the legislature, which was in 1905, con tinued fifteen days and cost the state $8,678.26. Gov. McGovern said that he believed the cost of the special session just called would be less than that amount. M ore Time for Income Tax Returns. Madison. —The state tax commis sion has issued an order extending the time for making returns for in come tax from April 1 to April 15.

MANY SUED FOR OLD LANDS Litigation Recalls the Passing of Port Ul ao. Once a Thriving Harbor City in Ozaukee County. Milwaukee.—The passing of two of the earliest Wisconsin towns, one of which has wholly disappeared from the map, while the name of the other is is revived as a railroad sta tion, has been recalled recently by suits and petitions brought in con nection with the settlement of prop erty and names of these old land marks. One of these historical spots is Port Ullao, in Ozaukee county, long since crowded out of memory by its thriving neighbor. Port Washington; the other is the old Indian village of Corning, in Marquette county, the name of which has been changed to Anacker by the Soo railroad, and is now likely to be changed again, if the movement started by conserva tive old settlers should be success ful. Suits have been brought in circuit court against a long list of defend ants to clear up the title and va cate the streets and alleys of what was once known as Port Ullao, but what now is nothing but farm land. The story of this spot is associated with some dark pages of history. This was the birthplace of Charles J. Guiteau, whose name lives in the an nals of our country coupled with the murder of President Garfield. Rack in territorial times Port Ullao, situated five mi ,o s south of Port Washington, was looked upon as the coming commercial metropo lis of the lakes. The port consisted of a pier running out .into the lake at ■which steamboats of those days discharged passengers and cargo and took on wood. It was while lying at the Port Ullao pier that a steam er on which the late Capt. Frederick Pabst and the late Gregory Hurson were serving as officers saw the smoke and flames of the steamer Ni agara, which caught fire when near Port Washington, and burned with a terrible loss of life. As the state began to settle, Mil waukee on the south and Port Wash ington on the north pushed forward and the claims of Port Ullao to com mercial supremacy were crowded into the background. For a time it held its own as a woodyard for lake steamers, but this, in turn, was cut off by other ports of more import ance. One by one the residents left un til nothing remained but a beautiful plat on paper of what would appear a city of considerable population. Gradually even the name was for gotten, except by a few of the older settlers who came to the state in pioneer times. The old forks of the Neenah just below Corning and the neighboring fork of French creek were called Wishonche, or Neenah Wishonche, i. e., the junction or gathering of waters. Before the advent of the railroad line, the village had become almost extinct, but since then it was con verted into a depot and bids fair to be preserved as a landmark, although it probably will never be more tnan a hamlet. DENY INDIANS ARE PAGANS Reported Action by Chippewa Pres bytery to Christianize Wisconsin Red Men Brings Protes Lac du Flambeau.—The report that the Chippewa Presbytery was considering the establishment of an Indian mission at the Couderay res ervation because, it was claimed, a majority of the 5,000 Indians in the western part of the state are without religious training, has roused a protest among those well acquainted with conditions at the va rious Indian reservations. They claim that the inference that Wisconsin In diana are pagans is unjust and false. The assertion is made that at least two-thirds of the government’s wards on the Couderay or Lac Courte Or eillies reservation at Reserve, Saw yer county, are good Christians and will remain so until death. Long trains of them may be seen on the way to church on Sundays, holidays and feast days, some of the old wom en walking four or five miles over rough roads to attend mass. Loses Case Against Dr. Till. New Richmond.—Fred Stein, Min neapolis, Minn., who sued John Till, the famous “plaster” doctor, who lives near here, for $6 0,000, claim ing that his health had been perma nently impaired by one of Till’s plas ters, lost his case when the jury dis agreed. Donate Fish Hatchery Site. Sheboygan.—The Business Men’s association is about to start a cam paign to raise SSOO to pay for the site of the new state fish hatchery, to be erected here this summer. The association voted to donate the site and has already purchased it. Faces Trial as Brother’s Slayer. Ashland. —Charged attempting to kill his brother, Will Switzer was bound over to the circuit court. The men had an encounter, and Switzer, it is charged, stabbed his brother, F*ank, while they were struggling. Oldest Wisconsin Teacher Dies. La Crosse. —Frank Gallup, oldest teacher in Wisconsin in point of serv ice, is dead at Galesville. He was teaching his seventy-fifth term when stricken. To Exterminate “Rougi” Fish.

Sholts will experiment in the waters that surround Oshkosh in an effort to rid the lakes and riv ers of the undesirable and uneatable fish, commonly designated as ‘Tough fish.” License Not an Issue. Beloit. —For the first time in sev eral years the question of license or no license will be submitted to the voters at the election on April 2. STATE RIVERS AND HARBORSJMY Much Expended on Wisconsin Waterway Improvements.

Tn Greater Farm Efficiency How to Select Best Seed Com PROF. R- A. MOORE Wimconain College of Agrricttltara

o>ood and Bad Types of Kernels. The Four Kernels at the Left Are of the Proper Types to Choose. Each of the Others Is Faulty and an Ear Containing Such Kernels Should Not Be Chosen for Seed. The first point In judging seed corn i to determine its trueness to the type or breed characteristics. There are breeds of corn, like breeds of cattle, which have peculiar colors or forms which distinguish them; as for in stance, the Silver King is a white va riety and the Golden Glow a yellow variety. It is difficult to distinguish between breeds of the same color, but this may be learned by experience in handling corn of different breeds. In pure corn of any breed there are certain marks which can be easily recognized. The ideal ear is cylindrical, conform ing to the standard for the variety and not crooked or too tapering. It is as difficult to find an ear of corn perfect in shape as It is to find cows, horses and sheep with perfect forms. The shape of ears of the dif ferent varieties of corn differ as widely as the shape and form of the different pure breeds of cattle. Each class and variety has a characteristic shape peculiar to itself. For example. Silver King com has an ear of me dium length, large in circumference, while the Golden Glow has an ear con siderably shorter and finer in cob and general conformation. The most desirably shaped ear is cylindrical from butt to tip. Where ears are inclined to taper, it will be noticed that two or four rows, as a rule, are dropped near the middle of the ear. In scoring corn, take into consideration the soil and climatic con ditions in which the corn is grown. The shape of a desirable ear for cen tral Illinois would differ in many re spects from the shape most desirable for Wisconsin. The shorter growing season in Wisconsin demands a shal lower kernel and a smaller ear to en able the corn to mature in a short season. The color of the grain should be uni form and true to the color standard for the variety, free from missing or discolored kernels. The color of the cob should be a bright cherry red for yellow corn and pure white for white corn. The color of the corn varies with the breed. The Silver King corn has a cream color, while the Boone Coun ty White has a pearly white color. Where these shades predominate they become characteristic of the breeds. Yellow breeds vary slightly in color from a pale yellow to a deep orange, and can only be known by a thorough acquaintance. A bright cherry red cob denotes health and vigor in corn and a pale or dark red cob denotes lack of constitu tion or vitality. The white corn cobs should be a glistening white and not a dead pale color. Some farmers prefer to grow com of certain colors. From tests made by breeders of corn, and by experiment stations, it has been found that in general, color makes no difference so far as feeding value is concerned, and it is merely a matter of choice of the grower as to the color of corn he de sires. Market condition means general ex cellence and the degree of ripeness or maturity. Corn that shows a tendency to be loose on the cob with wide spaces between the kernels should be scored off severely under market con dition. Where market condition is perfect or nearly so the kernels are firm on Ihe cob and the ear gives a rasping sound when twisted; the ker nels fit closely together upon the cob and in the row. When corn is scored from the feed er’s standpoint it is not cut so severe ly as from the grower’s or seedsman’s standpoint. When we consider that a bushel of corn plants about six acres and realize the importance to be at tached to uniformity of stand we see the value of considering the market condition from the grower’s Standpoint in a critical way. No one head under which com is judged is so important to Wisconsin farmers as market condition, and ail farmers should be able to judge com for the perfection of that characteris tic. The utmost Importance is at tached to market condition in carrying on trial tests, as a variety of com is of little value to a community or di vision of the state, if it does not prop erly mature within the growing sea son. Com will gradually become accus tomed to its surroundings and will ad just Itself to varying conditions of soil and climate. By selecting those ears for seed that show good market con dition, even if there be but a few in the entire field, the earliness of the corn can be improved materially. The kernels should extend over the tip of the ear in regular rows, and be uniform in size and shape. They should extend over the butt of the ear in reg ular rows and be well developed and uniform. A perfect tip has a central kernel called the cap, which is completely surrounded with uniform kernels. A perfect tip is rarely found, but those which come nearest to the ideal should be chosen, provided it is not at the ex pense of other more important factors. The tip kernels are likely to be flinty and of a pop corn shape, which is un desirable in dent corn. If bare tips are noticeable to quite an extent throughout the field, it may be due to the fact that the silks representing the tip kernels which were formed last were too late to receive the pollen to fertilize them. If ears having defec tive tips are used for seed, their un desirable characters will soon become permanent. Open tips usually accom pany shallow and irregular kernels on the ear which makes the kernels on that part of the ear undesirable for planting, on account of lack of uni formity. In judging the character of the butt of an ear of corn, (he way in which the rows come over towards the shank is important. If the corn comes in too close, the ears may drop off the stalk during the ripening and not ful ly mature. All ears which have butts improperly filled should be rejected. Corn breeders in desiring to get a large proportion of corn to the cob, often choose ears with too small an at tachment for the shank. The butt and the tip kernels are rejected for plant ing, because they are more likely to be mixed with other varieties and owing to their peculiar formation, they are not uniform, and interfere in the planting. They also seem weaker in germination and are more tardy in _____ Types of Good Ears. In Choosing Seed Corn, Select Ears as Near the Shape of Those Shown Here as Possible. growth than kernels from the middle parts of the ear. Kernels should be of perfect wedge shape, narrower or wider st the point, according to the variety characteris tics. They should be uniform in shape, size and color and true to the type or variety. The crown or big end of the kernel should be such that the edges of the kernels slope from tip to crown. The tip of the kernel, which is the part attached to the cob and contains the germ is rich in protein and oil and of the highest feeding value. For this reason a plump tip usually indi cates vitality. The kernels on the cob may be ir regular, being deeper at the butt than at the tip. This makes the kernels non-uniform in size and renders the corn almost wholly unfit for seed. No machine will plant kernels of this type so as to get a uniform stand. Kernels with weak or shriveled tips should be discarded, no matter how well the outside of the ear may look. At least 85 per cent, of the oil in the kernel is in the germ, hence corn with well formed germs is desirable. Tests by the Illinois experiment sta tion show that the oil in corn may vary from 2% to 7*4 per cent, and protein from 6*4 to 16 per cent. If seed corn contains a large amount of protein and oil the crop grown from this seed will be high in these desir able features. Standard measurements for corn produced in northern, middle and southern Wisconsin, are as follows: Length, northern section 8 to 9 inches, central, B*4 to 9*4 inches, southern &V 2 to 9% inches. Long ears are objection able because they usually have poor butts and tips, shallow kernels and hence a low per cent, of grain to the ear. In general the circumference should -be three-fourths the length. The standards for various sections in Wisconsin are; Northern 6 to 6*4 inches, central 6*4 to 7 inches, south ern 7 to 7*4 inches. The chief reason for distinct meas urements is to secifre uniformity and compactness in ears. In scoring one must not accept ears that are out of the natural proportion but must be governed by some uniform standard. The time will arrive in Wisconsin as it has in some of the older corn breeding states when each distinct variety of corn will have its respective measurements as to length and cir cumference. Furrows between jews, shotua be straight with uniform space between kernels at the crown. No space between kernels should be noticeable at the tips near where tbej are attached to the cob.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA CAME FROM TEETHING “When my little girl was about eight months old. she was taken with a very irritating breaking out, which came on her face, neck and back. When she first came down with it, it came in little watery-like festers under her eyes, and on her chin, then after a few days It would dry down in scaly, white scabs. In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time. “I consulted our physician and found she was suffering from eczema, which he said came from her teething. I used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all. Then I wrote for a book on Cuticura and pur chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint ment at the drug store. I did as I found directions in the Cuticura Book let, and when she was one year old, she was entirely cured. Now she is three years and four months, and she has never been troubled with eczema since sh© was cured by the Cuticura Soap ard Cuticura Ointment.” (Signed Mrs. Freeman Graver, 311 Lewis St., Syracuse, N.

The hero of the joke was a man who had married because the woman had much money, although no beauty. Naturally, after the wedding ceremony and the acquisition of the bride’s financial resources, the hus band was never very attentive to her. Another member of the company In which the couple were appearing was, however, far more appreciative of the lady’s charms, ami proceeded to make love to her in an ardent but stealthy manner. The grand finale came on© evening when the actor discovered the other man kissing his wife. The fond lover stood petrified with fear, and expected to be shot down the next moment.

Within the last week two well-known, beautiful, rich society girls, both young, both popular, with all doors to which society has the key flung open before them, have elected to go into an East End hospital and scrub floors for pauper invalids. Perhaps they will not stick to it; the important thing is that they want to try it. The fact Is that we are no longer sufficiently satisfied with beauty to think a woman has justified herself by being good to look at. Thirty or forty years ago people came from every part of the world to see Georgiana Lady Dudley, Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Cornwallis-West walk in the park. At an earlier date the beautiful Gunnings caused riots, so great was the anxiety to see them. Anne of Austria drew people from the most inaccessible cor ners of what was then a very inacces sible world, who made their way with year-long journeys to Paris, caught a glimpse of her entering her carriage and went home again saying they had seen loveliness itself. Today we would not cross the road to see a pret ty woman, possibly because there are so many of them. Indeed, beautiful women of today are more admired by women than by men. But in any case beauty as a profession is dead.—Lon don Truth. SAW HIS DUTY POINTED OUT Advertisement of John Ware Gave Valuable Idea to the Traveling Salesman.

The Weekly Leader (Successor to Watertown Republican.) The Leader entered at the Poatoffice at aecond-clasa matter. NOT ENOUGH THAT HE WRITE Modern Author Is Provided fcy His Publisher With Another Less Pleasant Vocation. After dinner speaking is a part of the trade of authorship nowadays, the New York correspondent of the Cin cinnati Times-Star writes. The men who are being featured in the popular magazines have become peripatetic pinwheels of oratory. They are call ed on to sputter bon mots and spatter humor as soon as the match is light ed. The magazines and publishing houses send their authors to every banquet within reach. The unfor tunates have to keep their evening clothes by the bedside, and be ready to slide down a brass pole like a fire man as soon as a dinner alarm Is Bounded. The small fry of writers at tend all sorts of dinners, from the an nual reunion of the Sons of Sour Mash to the feast spread by the Amalgamat ed Order of Coach and Town Painters. But the big chiefs—like the Irwin Prothers and John O’Hara Cosgrave amj Gelett Burgess—only cover din ners for which the "three nines" are Bounded. Then you can see them dashing madly through the streets in taxicabs, wearily getting into the first part regalia and buttoning col lars, and muttering the new stuff with which the diners are to be regaled that night. It isn’t any wonder that they get away to the woods as soon as the woods are opened in the spring. They have to restore digestion impair ed by a nightly procession of nine courses and five wines, ‘T’ve become a kind or refined wine agent,” said one of them the other day. “I ought to put out a sign: ‘AI! dinners eaten with neatness and des patch. We pride ourselves on our re finement.’ There is just one place where I have It on a wine man. He has to drink wine. It’s part of his business. Whereas if I drink beer it Is regarded as an eccentricity of genius.” Indian Girl’s Good Shot. One of the prettiest exhibitions of marksmanship ever seen here was "witnessed by a crowd In the vicinity pf the post office. One of the halyards attached to a flag on a high pole of a riding de vice snapped and the flag and halyard twisted themselves Into the pulley in such a way that it was Impossible to get the flag down. The manager of fered $25 to any one who w’ould get the flag down. Wenona, an Indian girl, overheard him and procured her rifle. From where she stood to where the flag was flying from the pole was fully 800 feet. The pulley was so well con cealed by the flag that only a small piece of the top of the eyelet was visible. Carefully sighting, Wenona fired, and the first shot cut the pulley from the pole and sent the flag flying down. —Venice Correspondence Den ver Times. Royalty Travels Incognito.

When they were within a hundred yards of the pursued men Briggs and Trouton opened fire with their rifles.

President White of the United Mine Workers said: “The negotiations are at an end. The operators have even refused to discuss our demands with us. There is nothing more to be said, therefore. We are ready at any time to consider any proposition which the operators may make, if it is offered in a fair spirit; but when they issue a statement and say that It represents their position from which they will not recede, discussion is useless.” The general belief is that unless powerful influences which are at work to prevent a strike bring the two sides together quickly, April 1 will see the inauguration of a bitter struggle, which may Involve the bituminous as well as the anthracite interests throughout the country. London.—Having utterly failed to reach any agreement, the conference between the coal miners and operators was broken off.

He replied, T have not had a headache since I left off drinking coffee, some months ago, till last week, when I began again, here at your table. 1 don’t see how anyone can like coffee, anyway, after drink ing Postum’! “I said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two occasions when we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We were convinced that coffee caused his suf fering, so we returned to Postum, con vinced that the coffee was an enemy, instead of a friend, and he is troubled no more by insomnia. “I, myself, have gained S pounds in weight, and my nerves have ceased to quiver. It seems so easy now' to quit the old coffee that caused our aches and ills and take up Postum.” Name given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich.

MM INSECT ENEMIES OF TOBACCO Damage Done by Pests Growing Larg er Each Year Throughout the Country—Easy to Control. The United States produces appiox- Imately 1,000,000.000 pounds of tobacm every year, but the farmers who grow this enormous crop pay each year a large dividend to insect pests. The number of serious tobacco pests is not large, and most of them are subject Leaf Injured by Leaf Miner. to easy methods of control. Yet, re gardless of these facts, the damage to tobacco by insects is growing heavier year by year. True, not all of this loss Is preventable, but a large amount of loss may be avoided by proper meth ods of sowing the seeds, cultivation, rotation and various other indirect as well as direct remedies which affect the insects themselves. The tobacco Leaf Miner is an in sect which is considered easy to con trol. The Injury made by this insect is manifested by large irregular blotches appearing on the leaves. These are at first whitish, but later become very dry and parchment-like. Leaves Injured in this way are unfit for wrapper purposes, as they tear very easily. There are two generations of the Leaf Miner each year, the winter be ing passed in the adult stage, the adults hiding away in trash found about the tobacco barns. The horse or bull seems to be the original food plant of this insect, hence all weeds of this type should be kept out of the tobacco. Frequent cultivation of the to bacco, stiiring the soil up quite close Tobacco Leaf Miner. to the plants will bury the pupae so deeply that the adult moths will be unable to reach the surface. The larvae may be destroyed in the leaves by pinching them, and if a close watch is kept they may be destroyed in this way before they have done much damage. The leaves seem to be able to recover from slight injury, whereas if the larvae is allowed to continue its work, the leaves never recover. FLOWER BOX IS MADE HANDY Small Storage Tank Concealed Un dernea.h Prevents Suffering From Lack of Water. The Flower box herewith illustrated .s to prevent the flowers from suffer ing for lack of water through neglect, says the Homestead. As shown in the illustration the two lower figures show the box in detail, the upper illus tration shows the completed box. The principal feature of the box Is a small storage tank concealed in the lower section. The water Is supplied to the plants through cloth wicks, or sponges, as needed. The wicks are V 1 7 Handy Flower Box. simply placed in holes bored through the bottom of the top section, as shown at CC C. To renew the water in the tank without removing the top section a small metal pipe is placed in the end of the box, as shown at AA. A wire telltale is made by placing a cork on a wire and allowing same to float on the water in the tank, thus tell ing by the length of wire extending out through the tube, A. just how much water is contained in the stor age tank. Plant food may also be fed to the flowers by making a solution of same and placing it in the storage tank. The box as shown may be made ornamental, as well as useful. Resetting the Orchard. Uniformly poor results have fol lowed the replacing of trees that died Immediately by other trees of the same kind. But if the hole is opened up in the fall and allowed to lie un til In the spring, it is safe then to plant out a tree of the same kind as that which died. The hole should be opened out a *ood deal wider and deeper than ne cessary to receive the new tree. The purpose should be to get out a large part of the dirt around the root sys tem of the first tree that occupied the SCRAPING BARK FROM TREES I I In Case of Ordinary Healthy Tree Treatment is Advocated by Penn sylvania Zoologist. As to the advisability of scraping rough or shaggy bark from apple trees, the state zoologist of Pennsyl vania has the following to say: This depends upon the conditions in general. I advise such treatment, especially for rough, scaly bark on i old trees; but If It be bark that has been roughened by the injurious ac- tion of soil sprays, or by burning with fire or some other injury, 1 am satisfied it would be wrong, because this is the tender bark beneath just w'hat a scab of an animal is to a sore which it is protecting. Therefore, if the bark beneath be tender, so that it would be injured by being scraped, it is best not to do It. In the case of an ordinary healthy tree it is certainly best, but at injured places, such as above mentioned, it is advisable to scrape gently, if at all On an old tree one cannot apply enough pressure with a short-handled hoe or bark scraper to do any injury, and this will remove many insect pests, such as coddling moth, woolly' j aphis and certain hibernating crea- tures, and expose scale insects and other pests to the action of the weath- i er, and of the Insecticides to be ap plied before the leaves appear.

JAPANESE PLUM VERY HARDY Will Grow on Almost Any Soil and Dc Not Need Particular Coddling— Come On Early. Plums of the Japanese variety are popular with most growers, particu larly in the east, because they are hardy and come on early. Many of these varieties are the earliest in the market, and as they are always of good color, either cherry reds or light yellows, they sell readily and bring good prices. They will grow well on almost any kind of decent soil, and do not need to be particularly coddled, although they should have all the care that any good fruit tree deserves. These trees were planted four years ago in soil from which pine scrub bad been grubbed only a few weeks be fore. The trees are bearing well and show fine color and great vigor. These Japanese plums differ from the domestic varieties in that Its leaves are longer, thinner and smooth er, and it has a great tendency to produce lateral fruit buds on the an nual growth. Its fruit is mostly short, round and plump. The Japanese plum is less liable to injury from curculio and black knot than the domestic variety. Mr. Ful lerton says that up to this time his trees have showm no signs of diseasf or attack from insects of any kind. Spring Planted Peach Trees. S. H. Fulton, a well-known peach grow'er, in a horticultural meeting ad dress, said that spring planting of peach trees is best for northern lati tudes. Prune thoroughly and head the trees low. From 10 to 14 inches from the ground is high enough. Three limbs are better than more in starting the top. Practice thorough cultiva tion, and use cover crops later in the season. Low-hoed crops are best as nurse crops when the trees are small. Let hogs have the run of the orchard until peaches begin to ripen. Use lime sulphur for the scale and peach-leaf curl. Pruning Currant Bushes. Pruning the currai t consists of cutting away all dead wood, and thinning out the new growth as may be desired. Site for Garden. The fruit and vegetable garden should be situated In a well sheltered spot, having the full benefit of the sun and where the soil is well drained. Trees that well tended beautify a home. Fertilize the orchard for next sea son’s crop. Plum trees should be pruned about the same as apple trees. There is no phase of life that is not influenced by good reads. Gradually bring the hyacinth and narcissus into the heat and light. Provide for the future by planning a small strawberry patch this spring. Go over the fruit and vegetables in the cellar, and throw out those decay ing. L’nleacbed wood ashes are rich in I potash, varying from six to forty per centN The earlier sweet peas are sown the larger the number of flowers pro- j duced. Nearly all varieties of plums bear better crops of fruit wheii a number of varieties are growing near each I other. Apple scab largely spreads about the time of the first, second, and third sprayings. When grass is permitted to ripen its seed, it loses the largest part of Ita nutritive value. BREED CHICKENS FOR PROFIT In Making Selection One Must Be Governed to Great Extent by Mar ket—Cockerel Is Important. In making the selection of breed, one must be governed somewhat by the market. Birds that sell best on the block should be medium in size, plump condition, with yellow skin and legs. Most all our American breeds have these requirements, and by care ful selection at breeding time one can build up a profitable laying strain from this class of birds, such as the Plymouth Rocks or Wyandottes. The common practice of breeding from the flock as a whole has done more harm than anything else in mak ing the flock unprofitable as egg pro ducers. Breeding from birds that produce but one or tw r o clutches of eggs during the year will produce birds of like nature, and breeding a sire that has not the laying quality and characteristics bred In him can not but help to make the situation worse. The success with egg production must begin with breeding. When you have a hen that will lay a large num ber of eggs each month during the winter, breed from her. The trait of superior egg production is a habit that may be acquired and transmitted. A hen whose ancestors were poor lay ers cannot be expected to be a good layers. No amount of coaxing or cod dling with mash or feed will induce her to produce an unusual number of eggs, because the trait of superior egg production was not acquired by her ancestry and could not therefore be transmitted to her. The selection of the male to head the flock should not be neglected. He should have been bred from pro ductive ancestry. The male is half Plymouth Rock. the flock, and if his dam and grand dam were good producers, he should be worth much more as a sire than those whose dam produced only a lim ited number of eggs. He should have a good constitution, showing short beak, broad head and bright eye, neck short and stout, breast of good width carried well for ward and of fair depth. The mating of such a sire to a flock of hens bred from laying ancestors cannot but help to give good results with proper feed ing and housing. The breeding pen should be yarded separate from the whole flock, select ing for this pen only the very best egg producers, and this should be done each year. One male with 10 or 12 females will give best results and eggs will be of stronger vitality for incubating purposes. The breed ing pen should be well cared for. Quarters should be roomy, well light ed and ventilated. The quarters should at all times be kept clean and disinfected. A variety of grain feed, green cut bone and green feed is ab solutely necessary to insure fertile eggs, and grit and water should be kept before them at all times. Never wash eggs. The hen must have a variety to lay well. Feed gives small returns when giv en to a lousy hen. The feed is the first thing to be con sidered if one is to obtain fertile eggs. Give ample feed and see that every hen has plenty, but see that she works hard for it. The flesh of the guinea is white and tender and they are often served in city restaurants as game birds. There is money in poultry culture, as there is in gold ore, but either takes science and labor for its ex traction. The pullets with a good laying pedi gree behind them are the ones to be chosen. The inclination of an incubator to become broody does not have to be consulted. Select the winter flock from the chicks hatched the latter part of March or in April. Every particle of feed given the hen should be clean enough to be eaten by human beings. Old hens will not make good winter layers. The pullets are responsible for most of the winter eggs. Mouldy and rotten feeds often bring disease, and tainted feeds are likely to taint the eggs and flesh. The very best green feed for hens is alfalfa. Green alfalfa In the warm months and alfalfa leaves in the win ter. It is easier to tend an incubator than to feed and watch a fussy hen and see that she returns to duty at the proper time.

Mark ii, 13-22—March 24, "i cat not to call the righteous, but sin ner t/'—Verte n CITE term "Publican" in Jesus day was applied to Jews who served the Roman Govern ment as tax collectors in Pal estine. The name was a reproach be cause the Jews held to the Abrahamic promise that the whole world should be blessed by them as God’s peculiar people. They held that this meant that they should not only be free from all other governments, but that they should be the masters of the world. The term "sinner” was applied to all Jews who were careless in respect to the orthodoxy of fui in observin^ the smallest de- Call of liattheie, the taila of the Law. Publican. There was a wide breach between these zealous followers of Moses’ Law and the mass of the nation who were alto gether classed as “sinners,” or persons not up to the orthodox standard of carefulness of form, ceremonies, etc. Our Lord’s disciples were nearly all gathered from this lower or less ortho dox and less educated class of Jews. Because of our Lord’s talents the Phar isees would have been glad to have Him as one of their number, provided that He would side with them and up hold them in their more or less hypo critical pretentions of perfection and holiness. But Jesus denounced the claims of the Pharisees ns hypocritical, and told the common people plainly that there were “none righteous, no, not one”—that all needed Divine mercy, and that the humble and contrite would be much more acceptable to God than the proud, the self-conceited. **Thy Disciples Fast Not.” About that time a fasting season was observed by the Pharisees, and also by those who had accepted the teachings of John the Baptist; but Jesus had said nothing to His disciples about fasting. Now the question arose. Why was this? The Savior’s explanation was that while He was with them it should properly be considered a time of rejoicing and feasting rather than a time of fasting and sorrow. They would have plenty of opportunity to weep and fast after He had gone and while waiting for His return. Fasting should not be considered a matter of obligation or command, but rather a voluntary sacrifice of present and temporal a good things that the mind and heart might go out the more ear things not seen as yet but hoped for. Thus for eighteen cen turies God’s peo ple have been fasting and pray ing and waiting and longing for The Pharisee and the the Bridegroom’s Publican. return. But In the time of His presence, their fellow ship with Him, their joy in the realiza tion of the completed promise, will wipe away their tears and “give them beauty for ashes, and the oil of joy for the spirit of heaviness.” The Church a New Creation. It was difficult for the Savior’s hear ers to get a proper fbcus upon His teachings. They could understand John the Baptist's preaching of repentance and reformation; but when Jesus de clared, **The Law and the Prophets were until John, and since then the Kingdom of Heaven Is preached,” this was so radical a proposition as to be difficult for the masses to grasp. What could be higher than the Law and the Prophets? Sympathetically we must concede that it was difficult for the Jews to understand that before the blessing could come to natural Israel, another, spiritual Israel, must be selected. By way of emphasizing this thought, our Lord gave two parabolical illustra tions, saying. No man sews a piece of unshrunken cloth upon an old gar ment, because the shrinking of the new cloth would pull away the old and Increase the difficulty. Likewise, no one would think of putting new wine which had not yet finished its fermentation Into old wineskins, whose elasticity bad been exhausted, for the old wineskins would be burst by the fermentation of the new wine. 8o the Gospel teaching is not a patch upon the Jewish Law, but is anew proposition. And the new wine of the Gospel Dispensation must be put into new wineskins that will be able to stand the stress of the fermentation sure to come. Thus cur Lord did not attempt to engraft His teachings upon the Jews, but called out of Judaism a special class, which the Scriptures de note as “New Creatures in Christ,” It Is to these that the new wine of the Gospel Message is committed, and these are to experience the fermenta tion incidental to the preparation for the Kingdom—disciplines and testings.

The publishers of The Youth’s Compan ion ann'Toee that they will except year ly subscriptions at $1.75 up to the end of March. The new rate of $2.00 will go into affect promptly on April 1. The large number whose subscriptions run over in to the early weeks of the year, as well as those who were unable to send in new subscriptions before January 1, will have this opportunity to get The Companion for another fifty-two weeks at the old price. If you had no other periodical reading for yonr family, The Youth’s Companion would be sufficient suffi cient for keen enjoyment to everyone, young and old; sufficient to keep you posted on the important news and events of the day; sufficient to give you a mind richly stored with useful knowledge. The new departments have become indispen sable features of the paper. The page devoted to the interest of boys in school and college always has an article of ex pert advice on athletics by someone who speaks with authority, whether it is foot ball, baseball, skating, swimming, or other vigorous pastime. The page for girls suggests useful occupations at home and profitable occupations in the com munity, without forgetting that girls like to be ornamental as well as useful. And there is the family page, which in the course of a year fills the place of a domestic encyclopedia. Subscribe now to-day while The Companion may yet be had for $1.75.

These two boards form a platform which catch the droppings, and these are worth from 75 cents to a dollar a barrel. Dq not place the roosts too high, for the hens will jump, and in so doing will have leg weakness or perhaps bumblefoot. PoultryNqte's Young chicks may be kept dry and warm. The early broilers always command the best market. Little chicks will not thrive if pen ned in a small enclosure. A hen needs nearly seven times more fresh air In proportion to her size than does the horse. Selecting the hens according to their laying qualities is to some poul trymen a hard proposition. Any one keeping poultry must, of course, have houses to protect them from cold or stormy weather. Fowls intended for market should be cooped for a week or two and fed all the rich food they wTI eat. Fine gravel is not the proper grit for poultry. They want a sharp mate rial with which to grind their food. The incubator should be located in a room where the temperature does not vary much during the day or night. Eggs will become fertile in from four to six days after mating. The effect of mating will continue several months. It Is necessary to feed the breed ing ducks liberally, yet at the same time feed so as to keep them active and healthy. Poultry houses which have cracks in their sides or leaky roofs should be covered with some kind of prepared roofing on both roof and sides. Chicks sheltered from the weather and given plenty of good water will find much of their feed, and prove the most profitable crop on the farm. Remember that the early broods must at all times have a dry place and room to exercise when the weath er will not permit them to go out doors. Amusing Artistic Conceptions. Many a child, as well as some older persons, has puzzled over that “beam” in the eye of which the New Testa ment speaks. It is not always under stood that this means a beam of light. But it was left to Solomon Bernard, in his woodcuts illustrating the Bible, published at Lyons, in 1553, to pic ture this beam as one of wood, rectan gular in section, and several feet in length. Then there is the case of an English painter who depicted an elab orate rainbow. Unfortunately, he painted it wrong side out. Bui vre for get amazement at such stupidity in admiration for the artist’s magnificent audacity when we learn that he charged twenty pounds for repainting the rainbow colored I” accordance with nature’s arrangement, (KELLtheCOUGHI awo eURETHEIUKCSI wKpsLfcmc’s KiWDIICSViW mi™*** uce so*a*i.oo rUK ISOLDS It TRIAL BOTTLE FREE MS AILTP.3SAT AND VWj TROUBLES] r GUA&A*r££O EAT/SFACTCRIP Off MONEY REFU/VDED.
