To bring the price within the reach of north, south, east and west.” He clinched my hand and said; “Good thought! I could not do without it.

When I get down to Washington [NV make a speech about it.” 1 urged the worthy congressman to make the tariff right— “The way the duties have been fixed,” 1 said, “is just a blight. The things we need are high in price, the luxuries are low; It ought to be a simple thing to straight- en this, IT know." He wrenched my hand and said: friend, full sorely will T clout it. I'll rise up there in congress, and [ll make a speech about it.” “My I praised the worthy congressman for his sincere intent; I sald: “You are the idol of the folk you represent. Now, take the price of coal, it is too high by quite a lot. Get after all the barons—you are Johnny on-the-spot." He squeezed my hand and said: “1 will old fellow, don't you doubt It. I'll bring the matter up next week, and make a speech about it.” 1 cheered thé worthy congressman, and said: “There's one thing more. Our representatives do little else than rant and roar. I wish you'd put a stop to that, and get them down to work— A man like you can stop all this wind- Jamming with a jerk.” He shook my hand and said: “1 will. ‘This has to end!'—I'll shout it.

Then the child has a step father, and perhaps, a step grand- father. Let us suppose, further, that the step grandfather dies, or is di- vorced and the step grandmother mar- ries again. This gives the child a step-step-grandfather, doesn’t it. Then, we'll say, that the child’s mother dies and the step father weds again. Now the child has a step-step mother. By following this process of reasoning along a few feet further we can equip that child with a step-step grand step mother and a step grand step-step step mother, and a step-step-step father and a step-step-step grand step father and a—” It was at this point that the listener stepped away with a stealthy step. step, step, leaving the mental specula- tor still figuring out the problem of what relation the step. uncle of the child’s stép-step grand step-father would be to the adopted child of the step sister of the step-step grand step mother.

The significance of the progress in | aviation is not to be found so much in | the flight of Bleriqt across the Eng: | lish channel, in the successful tests of | the Wright maghine, or in the forth: | coming contests at Rheims, as it is.in the less conspicuous -évents. A New York firm advertises its ability to sup- ply aeroplanes to order in 48 days. An- other New York firm establishes an aerial garage on the roof of a build- ing. A Dayton may buys a balloon as & present for his 18-year-old daughter. These and other instances, making due allowance for the element of fiction, in- | dicate a growing belief in the general utility of aeroplanes and dirigible bal- loons and a growing conviction that they are adaptable for other than mil- itary purposes. The military idea has been dominant in all thus far attempt- ed in aviation, but now the Wright brothers, the most conservative of the successful aviators, suggest the use of aeroplanes in carrying mails, and men of wealth are contemplating the possible use of the air as an exciting recreation. The military maneuvres in Massa: chusetts, though subject to the “chaf. ing” which always attends a mock contest, when there is immunity from danger, are really of the stuff of which war is made. When Dewey's ships were burning powder by firing at targets off the coast of Asia, the commanders of the vessels under some flags were disposed to be amused, But when Dewey's guns were called upon to go up against the real thing in war the skill obtained in the mock can nonacing submerged the enemy al most before he could fire a second round, Not only the militia but the regulars are benefited by the prac tice game, for theories are at the | best when they have been sent out on the road to try themselves, In Poplar, a London district where | 60 out of every 1,000 persons rank as paupers, when a man, his wife and | three children throw themselves on the poor law the practice is to send the man to the guardians’ farm at Laindon in Essex, where he is asked to do a very little work in return for comfortable maintenance, clothing and a little pocket money. His wife is al- lowed $3.75 a week for herself and her children, which is probably more than she received from her husband when he was in full work, and she {fs re- lieved of the expense of feeding him. She also receives grants of boots and clothing for herself and her children, and her husband is allowed to visit her at regular intervals. Manila has been celebrating the eleventh anniversary of the capture of the city by American troops. What has become of that Philippine disaf- féction and insurrection which the “anti-imperialsts” were wont to pre- dict so gloomily? asks the Evening Wisconsin. Really the admirers of Aguinaldo have had little to talk about for some time. Perhaps they will seize the incident of the invasion of | New England by the regular army as an opportunity first to protest loudly Vand then to take to ‘the tall timber. Crimes of violence on American railroads seem to be uncommonly nu- mereous, just now, but it is safe to say that this condition will not last long. The railroad companies are too wise. The rewards _they offer for the ar- rest and conviction of robbers and wreckers of trains are big enough to keep the boldest criminals in fear, every hour of every day that they re- main at large. In that respect the railroads serve the public well. A Chicago college professor thinks that modern husbands are too friv- olous. Some may be inclined to ridi- | cule his contention of the demoraliz- ing effect of certain popular songs, but he is right in his contentions | that conditions which are a subject of open jest must lose some wholesome respect in the popular mind. A Philadelphia man was left his choice by a woman-hating relative be- tween a fortune and his sweetheart. He chose the sweetheart and now she proposes to get part of the fortune, finyhow, by a damage suit. Even Cupid is a business person these money-loving days. No direct evidence is offered in sup port of the belief that within the next 1,000 years men will have hoofs in- stead of feet. But the increase of the end-seat hog and the growing preva- CATCH ANIMALS AND BIRDS Trapping for Market Can Be Made Source of Much Profit for the Enterprising Boys. (By 8. C. MILLER.) Perhaps few farmer boys know that there is a great’ demand for many kinds of birds and wild animals when caught uninjured, There are men in most of the big eastern cities who buy them at good prices for selling to shows, park boards, zoological gardens, etc., and to rich men for their private preserves and aviaries, When a boy of 16 on my father's farm I was riding through the woods one day in June, when two deer jumped up out of the bushes, ran a short distance and stopped, making a peculiar sort of noise I had never heard before. I investigated and found two little fawns lying in the grass and leaves. I do not think they could have been more than two days old. They were perfectly gentle, and when I got off my horse and went to them they rose and came right into my arms as gentle as dogs. Their legs and necks were very long and slender, much out of proportion to their small heads and bodies. , I had a pair of large saddle bags on my horse, so I put a little fawn in each of the pockets and went back with them to the house, They were so young I feared they would not live, but they did; and when about six months old, I sold them to the park commissioner of a southern city for $35, and they were put in the eity park to the delight of all who saw them, particularly the children. Two little boys whom I knew on the plains of western Texas made consid- erable money during the summer months by capturing young prairie dogs and selling them, Whenever it rained they went out on the plains and dug little trenches with hoes, to run water into the dog young ones holes, and when the mye Spring Pole and Snarl. scampered out to keep from drowning the boys would catch them and put them in boxes to take home. Then they bought small wire cages and put a pair of dogs in each cage and sold them at the railway station every afternoon to northern and east- ern people when the train stopped. During May, June and July they sold a great many of these little dogs, getting a pair for them, including the cage, and when they were not able to sell all their stock they sent them in cages holding a dozen to a Chicago man who sold them on commission, If a farmer boy likes to trap wild animals and birds and lives where they are numerous, he should get in touch with men who buy them alive, and he can certainly make a nice lit- tle sum of money, Even hawks and owls, in fact, al- most any large bird not good for food people who want them, The Stitch Game. This is a good way to end an eve- ning’s entertainment, and it is not very taxing on the brains of the guests either. Write the following questions on cards and give to the guests.

T.W. Fisk West Side Square Jim Franklin Dead. James T. Franklin died at his home in El Reno, Okla., Jany. 18th, 1910, of pneumonia. He was employed by the Rock Island railroad company as special dective on trains in Oklahoma and Texas, and report has it, made good in that capacity. Jim Franklin was born and raised in Butler and became notorious for his evil ways and associates. He served two terms in the Missouri Penitentiary and one in the Federal Penitentiary for Okla. After secur- ing his position with the rail road, it is said he settled down, married and was living a respectable life. The El Reno Democrat says of him: “He and his wife have lived in El Reno about eight months, and were looked upon as good citizens by all that knew them. As an officer in the | capacity he served he wasa model, and received high praise from his superior officers, being faithful in all his undertakings.” Saved the Wives of India. Atchison, Kan., March.—In an ad- dress made before the annual Kansas conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Homer C. Stuntz, D. D., secretary of the board of foreign mis- sions, paid tribute to the missionaries in foreign fields, “The missionaries really have ac- complished great things,’ he said. “They are responsible for the enact- ment of the law forbidding wives in India to be strapped alive on their husband’s pyres and burned to death. They have given the Chinese girls a chance to let their feet grow as Nat- ure would have them. The mission- aries also have put down reckless opium and liquor traffic in the Philip- pines.”’ NEW EASTER STETSON:
