To THE IiGnr: The Times was never
"toady" enough to leave Its own party,
betray its political friends and sell cut,
lock, stock and barrel, for a stipulated
price, to another political party. This
the LIGHT did, by Its own confession, IN
the last municipal election"
In the last municipal election there
were three Democrats, and no Republi-
can running for Mayor, therefore the
LIGHT had to choose from what politi-
cally would be considered on its part. as
three evils. MIR. Bryan Callaghan was
nominated on the following platform:
"Resolved: That the vital Interests
OF the city imperaiively require that the
policy OF the incoming city administra-
ton be prudent and progressive one,
and therefore we demand that there
shall be inaugurated and completed
thorough system Of drainage for the city
and macadamizing or paving OF the
streets and plazas, the laying OF side
walks and crossings.
THAT MS soon Ms 1t can possibly be
done, we are in favor OF the acqulsl-
ton by the city of a complete system OF
water-works, by PURCHASE OR OTHER
WISE.
"Ihat all the improvements SO far as
practicable shall be made by the city It,
self under proper supervision OF coLnpe-
tent persons, and by the labor OF our
own people.
THAT we favor the issuance and sale
OF the necessary amount OF bonds with

carry out these measures
This being the LIGnT's sentiments 1t
would have given 1t good support,
but the managers of the Callaghan cam
paign wishing to make 1t more OF a
personal fight, aad asking more
space than the LIGHT was willing to
give free, for such purposes. as ii had no
special interest In advocating Mr.. Cal
laghan's personal claim-they offered to
pay for 1t, the same Ms any business man
pays for his advertisement. They did
pay, and won. 1.-THE LIGHT is OF no use
or influence, why did these men pay for
what the Toady Times claims to have
given for nothing? The LIGHT had no
especial interest In Mr.. Callaghan, but 1t
did have in public improvements, and
that the city should own the water
works. Although the Toady Times
claims to have stood upon that platform,
and the Mayor was elected upon it,
what have they done to redeem their
pledges to the people, Any reader OF
the LIGHT can plainly see that 1t has
faithfully pursued the policy 1t advo-
GATED with Mr.. Callaghan, but while this
paper has been outspoken at all times,
the Mayors position on the water-works
question 10 unkeown and can only be
judged from the uttersnces OF his organ,
the Toady Times, when 1t takes the part
and advocates the interest Of the Water
works Company as against the interest
OF the people. The LIdHT 10 not afraid
Of its course at any time.

How a Senator Cut his Hand.

An ex-senator ana friend were riding
with me in the Fourteenth street car,
writes Washington correspondent of
the Cleveland Leader, when we passed
the big brownstone house of General Bob
Schenck, which faces the statue of Cen
eral Thomas, when the Senator, opening
his hand, showed a great scar running
from the base of the forefnger clear
across the palm. "Do you see that SCARF"
said he. "Well, got that scar in Bob
Schenck's house over there" Then.
noting our look of surprise, he continued
''Nou needn't be so astonished. There
was no quarrel, though Schenck is a
brave fellow and would fight at the drop
of hat. was calling at the house one
night, and was talking with Mrs.
Schenck, when she showed me very
fine Damascus dagger. After | had adj
mired it she laid it down on the table by
my side. Shortly after this she went out
TO call Mr.. Schenck. While she was out
of the room l picked up the dagger and
began to pull it out. When | had it
nearly out of the sheath l thought
heard some one coming, and hurriedly
pushed it back in again. In doing so
cut my hand to the bone, and the blood
rushed forth in a stream. | mopped it
up with two handkerchiefs which | had
in my pocket, and when General Schenck
entered it was still bleeding. | got him
to tie up my hand. Since that time
have kept my hands out of other peoples
furniture while | have been calling. ="
Speaking of Schenck reminds me of a
funny story heard the other day about
the remark of an old white. haired lady
of Dayton when she heard of his appoint
ment as minister. The old lady said I:
"Well, it does beat all. The idea of
that wicked little white haired rascal be.

recorded to have made a difference of
| one-third more milk in favor of the warm
water. The difference seems excessive,
but yet not unwarrantable.
Clearly cared for milk, an even, rather
low temperature for the dairy room,
churning when the cream is ripe mot
too sour, light sailing (no crystals of
salt in the butter), not too much work
ing, and attractive packages will always
command the highest price in the market
if the COWS have been fed on well-Ha-
vorcd food.-Ddiry World.
How to procure green food for poultry
in winter is thus explained by Mr.. James
Rankin, South Easton, Mass He sows
n piece of rye in August quite thickly,
and by fertlizing freely he gets it
eighteen inches high-a mass of gree n
vegetation. When frozen solid, and
before the snow covers it, he cuts and
packs it away in an clubhouse where it
remains frozen till needed. Every day
or two in winter he exposes portion of
this to the warm air until thawed, and
then chops it fine for his hens. A free
use of this green food alternately with
boiled potatoes, cabbage and refuse gives
healthy fowls and an abundance of eggs.
Farmers who have cows and do their
own dairving, and who at the same time
keep hens, should know that there is
nothing better for hens, and that tends
to encourage their laying, than plenty of
SKINNED milk to drink if it is clabbered
it is none the worse. The advantage of
this kind of feeding was illustrated by a
comparison of notes of two ncighbors-
one was selling eggs all the time, while
the other obtained but few. 1t was
found that both were feeding exactly
alike, with the single exception that one
was feeding a pailful of skinned milk,
and as consequence was receiving the
eggs. Curded milk is also good for
young chickens.
Charcoal is an antiscptic, and may
often be taken as n medicine with much
benefit, to relieve the stomach from ex-
cess of acid and to promote digestion.
1t is mistake to suppose that birds and
animals in state of nature cannot pro-
cure charcoal and would not use it if
they could. Fires occur in the wilder
ness every season and charred trees are
of common occurrence. Deer and birds
eat this charcoal very freely, and pigs
roaming the woods are eager for it.
When charcoal is not attainablc rotten
wood is eaten as a substitute So that it
is natural Tor animals to have charcoal
supplied to them, and for poultry it is
good plan to give them wood ashes from
which they will pick the charcoal, or to
char an ear of corn in the oven for them
now and then. Pigs should have all the
charcoal they will eat; it is an antidote
to sour stomach and all intestinal dis
eases.
