TENANT GETS “CARR DISHES.” But the End of the Case Has Not Yet Come. The appellate division of the su preme court has just handed down a8} decision in the famous Otsego county dish case. In 1803 Marion Cheeseborough, a ten- ant on a farm near Leonardsville, owned by heirs of Leonard F. Burdick, plowed up a set of dishes. The dishes had been buried during the Revolution- ary war by ancestors of Burdick, and were celebrated in the family history under the name of the “Carr dishes.” They had been sought in vain by each generation of the family. Cheese- brough kept the dishes and the heirs The trial of the case was decided in favor of the Burdicks, but the present decision is in favor of the tenant, Cheesebrough, the Burdicks being giv- en permission to sign new papers with- in twenty days. It is said there were many collectors after the dishes, and that $2,500 has been offered for them—New York Times. Strong Language. Fredericksburg, Ind., June 20.—Rev. | Enoch P.

Fought Over a Beauty. The courteous clerk from the subur- ban real estate office had been conduct- ing a prosperous tenant over the prem- ises of the desirable residence, “charm- ingly situated and within a_ stone’s throw of the raliway station.” “Have I seen everything?” said the prospective tenant. “T think so, sir,” replied the courte- ous clerk. . “If there’s anything else that strikes you, I shall, of course, be most happy “Stay!” said the house hunter, pro- ducing a cutting of the newspaper ad vertisement, in which the glories of the dwelling were set forth. “Stay! There’s something else I should like to see before I go.” “Certainly, sir.” “And that is,” continued the oth- er, pointing his forefinger at the concluding portion of the adver tisement, “the Homeric individual who threw that stone!”—Philadelphia Public Ledger. After Homeric Individual. ‘A Homeric battle has been fought for the possession of a beautiful young woman between the inhabitants of two villages near Bossauez, Galicia. The son of the syndic of Teschoutz had persuaded the daughter of a neigh. boring landowner to elope with him. On hearing of this the father informed the villagers, and 200 of them set out to bring her home. Her lover, however, refused to give her up, and the people of his village, ‘sympathizing with the pair, set upon ‘the intruders to drive them out. A pitched battle with stones, in which hundreds took part, followed, and continued with great fury until the revenue guards were called out and fired upon the rival parties.

LOUIS IS BY STEAMER ON. THE SCENIC .MISSISSIPPI RIVER A DELIGHTFUL TRIP WITH ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME | A visit to the world’s fair is not an occurrence of every day: with many people it is only once in a lifetime jate, indeed, is the individual who lives in the year 1904, and has the oppor- tunity to visit that most stupendous exposition at St. Louis. In the history of the world there has never been such a wonderful gathering of the useful and beautiful things of the earth. It is jindeed a world’s fair, with all that means. This article is not intended as a write-up of the fair proper, because |many volumes have been and will be written on this subject, but is intended ;more particularly to tell about the |scenic Mississippi river and the enjoy- able trip which may be had going to St. Louis from St. Paul on the Exposi- |tion Transportation company’s steam- ers with hotel consort. The initial trip jof this line, which left St. Paul June 2, |1904, was made by the steamer~*Pur- |chase, and it was the privilege of the | writer to be ofe of the passengers on | |that the opportunity octurs. Fortun- | rapids and reached Keokuk at 10 p. m. Sunday, through the wide-spreading lower end of the upper Mississipp1, past the mouth of the Illinois river, Piasa Bluffs, Alton, mouth of the Mis- souri and St, Louis is at hand. By 4 p. m. we were ready for our labors. It would be tedious and useless to describe the different manner in which the passengers spent their time séeing the sights of St. Louis and the world’s fair. Each party took its own method and time. Some left the Hotel Consort at 7:30 a. m. and did not re- turn until 11 to 12 p.m. Others re- turned for dinner, and toward the end of the week some were so satisfied with sightseeing they were content to rest at home on the Consort nearly the whole day. Saturday at 8 p. m., after a week of hard work sight seeing everybody was glad to hear the welcome toot-toot of the steamer’s whistle and to know that we were starting for a five days’ rest.’ Oh, the glorious feeling of rest after labor. For five days nothing to do but eat, loaf and enjoy bountiful rest. And rest it proved to be. No one who has not tramped the hot, glaring pavement of the world’s fair | grounds for six days can appreciate our feelings. To sit and view the scenery, then rest on’ your berth for an hour or two was the elixir of life. It was now that we were glad we had not gone to St. Louis by train; that we had the chance to rest up and be fitted for business on our return. For five days we plowed our way up the swirling currents of the glorious river, passing mostly in the day the parts of the river we had passed in the night coming down. The scenery was ever fresh and enjoyable. It would be impossible to tell of all the beauties, so we must be content to remember them and wish all the readers of this {that very enjoyable excursion. The | article the good luck to have an op- company’s advertising catch line is, “Take Your Hotel With You.” This idea is something new in the steam- boat line, and if we can judge from the success of the initial trip it will cer- tainly be the most popular way of vis- | iting the world’s fair. To explain: In jaddition to the steamer Purchase, which, by the way, is a very powerful boat, fitted with all the necessary ap- purtenances of a first-class river steamer, such as dining saloon, barber feet long, fitted with two decks. Down the center is a large, wide hall, leading from which on each deck are comfort- able state rooms. On each floor are large bath and toilet rooms. In the front of the boat on the upper state room deck there is a large, commodi- ous observatory and lounging room. while away their time if the weather is unfavorable. Card tables, writing desks, lounges, etc., help to make life enjoyable during bad weather. the extreme upper deck of the barge there are benches and seats im abund- ance where passengers can sit and en- joy the beautiful river scenery. On this deck also may be found quoits land shuffle boards, the regulation steamboat games. can we express our appreciation of the beauties of the trip. Down past the peautiful rocks of Grey Cloud island, the mighty bluffs of Pine Bend, the sloping shores of Nininger to the qniet old city of Hastings. Here a,step tor sengers. Plowing along, ve reached the junction of the St. Croix ani the city of Prescott, our introduction: to the shores of Wisconsin. Twenty miles further down we reach the city and bluffs in the background, another stop here to allow our genial Passen- ger Agent-P. D. Chandler to go ashore, and we are off for the glorious scenery of Lake Pepin. Mark Twain calls it “that grandest conception »f Nature’s works,” and he ought to kngw. Un- fortunately it was dark when we | reached the lake proper and we had |to wait until the return trip to see the glorious bluffs rising one after an- other on both sides of the river for thirty miles. It would be too long a story to give the full details of all we saw, hence we must be content te men- tion but a few of the prominent sights of the river. During the first night two small boys were found on board who -had run away from home. In the morning they were ld¢nded at Lansing, Iowa and placed in the care of the Chief of po- lice. In the afternoon we reached the old beautiful city of Dubuque. We were given an-hour’s time, and most of the passengers took advantage thereof to see as much of the city as possible. leaving Dubuaue at 6 p. m., we passed Death’s Head rock, and in the night entered Iowa-Ilinois waters. Early Saturday morning we passed the upper This is the place where passengers | Floating down the Mississippi; how | | shop, news stand, etc., there is attach- | ed in front of a large barge about 260 | On | portunity of taking a trip on the “Purehase” and Hotel Consort. At noon Thursday we reached Pres- cott again. Passengers had been busy all morning packing up and gétting ready for the landing. Shortly after leaving St. Louis a pool had been formed, the one guessing the nearest to the time we would reach St. Paul to take the “pot.” One guess, by Mr. Koerner of Minneapolis, was 3:40 p. m.; and another, by Mr. Shep- hard of Kenmare, N. D., 7:15 p. m. The dividing line between these two was 5:271-2 p. m. It was very evident that we would arrive at some time after 5 p. m., and the excitement was intense. At South St. Paul it looked as though Mr. Koerner would win, but when Dayton’s Bluff was reached he had only five minutes and it became apparent he would lose. We landed at 5:35 and Mr. Shephard took the purse. . Before landing the passengers ex- pressed themselves very Kindly .with regard to the management of the trip | and the accommodations furnished. a few minutes to take on more pas- | | Mr. B. H.

Beauti- ful scenery, good service, meals and comfortable quarters.” a The Horse’s Walking Gait. How fast the horse walks regulates to some extent his value. The slow walking horse is a tiresome animal to labor with if one has an ambition to do a good day’s work. On the farm the rate at which a horse can walk is seldom considered at breeding time, yet we must expect that slow walking horses will produce slow walking horses, and that fast walking horses will produce fast walking horses. This is a principle that it will pay to keep sight of when the mares and stallions are being mated. Some of our best farmers claim that it is largely a matter of training, and that the slow horses can be trained to increase their speed of walking. This may be so, but it is more likely that the habit of slow or. fast walking is a matter of inheritance. However, it will be a good thing for the men that teach horses to work to take the habit of slow walking in hand if the colt has formed it and try to break it by teaching the animal to walk fast. One horseman says that if a colt is allowed to walk slowly when he is being trained to work he will hold to the habit all the rest of his life. A colt that is naturally slow may be taught to walk fast, so this man says, and once the habit is formed it will remain with him when he is actually engaged in work, though he may drop back to his old habit when he is out of harness. Slowness of walking is a great defect in the otherwise valuable horse. If there is another horse with him that horse also must walk slowly to adapt him- self to the first horse, while the man that drives them must also lose his time. In the course of a year this amounts to a very large item, and when it is figured in dollars and cents is not a factor to be despised. It is desirable to have on the farm only fast walking horses, and such animals make all farm work easier where horses are employed. When we con- sider that some horses walk fifty per cent faster than do others, we ‘can readily understand that the additional work done by a fast walking team of horses over a slow walking team might easily be the difference be- tween profit and loss on the opera- tions with which they were connected on the farm. It is suggested that when the colt is being broken to work he have a ration rich in protein, like oats, so that he may have suflicient stamina and latent force to make. it easy for him to adopt a vigorous gait in his work. About Baby Beef. In making baby beef it is necessary that the calves to be used for that purpose contain a good deal of im- proved blood. It is not easy to make @ profitable bunch of baby beeves from every kind of calves. The higher the grade of calf used the better will be the results both in feeding and in marketing. This is a point that is neglected by thousands of men that try to make money shipping cattle to market. After all that has been said, it is surprising that men will still try to make high-priced baby beef out of the poorest stock they can obtain. Good breeding is the best foundation for good feeding. After the question of breeding is settled comes the ques- tion of time of age of the calves. It is evident that the man that is trying to prepare a bunch of such animals for market will need to have his ani- mals of about the same age at time of marketing. If their ages vary greatly he will find it difficult to feed them with an economy of time and la- bor, and when he comes to market them they are likely to be so uneven that the price will be considerably re- duced. What is more likely in such a case is that the animals will, part of them, stay at home and part go to market. This will mean that the mar- keted ones will cost more for trans- portation than they should and that the others will have to be marketed later at considerable advance in cost for shipping. Where they are of near- ly the same age they will grow up to to the marketable age having a nearly uniform appearance. A Variety of Feed. Whether the animals to be fed are cattle, horses or sheep, a variety of foods will give better results than will a steady ration of one or two things. We have seen horses fed corn and timothy hay year in and year out, in working time and resting time, and know that this is the practice on many of our American farms. Many a farmer has reduced his system of John Zapp, St. Cloud, Minn.—‘tIn all | grain feeding to so many ears of corn my travels I never had a more pleas-| per horse per day.
