Advice to Palm"

Ex-Controllcr Allen Campbell, whose
name has frequently been mentioned
as a probable dock commissioner, is
noted for telling u good story. Here is
ono of the late Commodore Wander
bilt he told me IL few days ago:
when Vanderbilt went abroad dur
ing the civil war he was entertained by
many notables in England. Among
the guests at one of the big houses be-
sides the Commodore was Lord Pal
mcrston. Tho English premier was
quite taken with Vanderbilt, who was
one of the handsomest Americans who
had ever visited that country. But
his conversation WAS not always carried
on in the p,llest English. In discussing
American affairs Lord Palmerston told
the commodore something concerning
dispatch he had sent to the United
States government. The later listened
very attentatively until Lord Palmer
ston had finished and then astonished
everybody by this advice:

that. New York Star.

traveller asked the direction to tho
nearest railway station. The man look
ed up, gazed at the stranger for mo-
ment and then said:
''Ef was at myself mout tell you
all about this country but in my present
trouble can't think about no worldly
matter"
"If you are in trouble ] am sorry
that disturbed you," tho traveller re-
piled. MAY l ask the nature of your
difficulty?"
"Religion"
"Ah, unsettled in your mind con-
cerning the true course to pursue,

Yes, sir, jest as soon US it snapped

"A wisconsin Doctor Killed.

A cold -hloo,led and willful murder was COM
mitted at Stevens Point, Wis. DIR. y. G.
Meyer. Il prominent surgeon Of that city.
wns shot and instantly killed by T. J.
months ago Mrs. Meyer was found dend in
her room with IL bullet hole through her
head. 1t was generally believed that
the doctor committed the deed, but
as they we're alone in tho house
it could not be proved. The coroner's in
quest. lasting an entire week, developed
nothing of 30 serious u nature as to warrant
that lie and Mrs. Meyer had frequently Iuar-
relied, and that he had neglected and abused
her, in consequence Of which Mrs. Meyer
had complained Of her husbands behavior
to her parents, Mr.. aud Mrs. j. Grifiths,
and to ncighbors. This had engendered Il
in-law, and tho mysterious death Of the
daughter further stimulated their common
hatred for lle doctor. They are Irish-Catll.
oics. and IN common with their pastor.
would not entertain tho thought that their
daughter had taken her own life. Together
with Il son twenty-tlree years old they tried
to work up casc against the doctor, who
business, but failed to find u satisfactory
clue. The trouble appeared to be guieted
down. and nothing more thought of the case.
On Friday afternoon the 11th Griflths
junior, brother of th, late Mrs. Meyer, mot
DR.. Meyer on Main street near the postofice,
hot words ensued and in tho fight which fol.
lowed the doctor got considerably the worst
oft. During the scufilc the doctors revol.
yer accidently slipped out Of his pocket and
fell upon the sidewalk. After young Griffith
had worstcl his opponent lie picked
up tho revolver and put it in
his own pocket md walked down
street. The doctor followed him demanding
the return Of the revolver. This Griffith re-
fused, thinking it might be dangerous in the
doctors hands. Near the corner ofMain and
Third streets the two stopped and exchanged
more hard words, and were about to grupple
when an unexpected occurrence prevented
them. While threatening each other old man
Griffith snenked up to the doctor from behind,
pulled II revolver, and tuking quick aim,
with the muzzle not over u foot from the
DOCTORS head, shot him in the lower part
OF the temple directly in front of the eur
The doctor fell and expired instantly. Grit:
fifth, ST., gave himself up, and Griffith.
Jr.. was subsequently ARRESTED. Later the
young man WAS released, there being really
nothing against him other than participat-
ing in the quarrel The old man confeshes
the crime and snys he could not have peace
until lc had avenged the daughters death,
of which lie fully believes the doctor guilty.
His friends insist that his mind is deranged
and that he is not morally responsible for
the act.

The following true story of Artemus
Ward is now printed for the first time.
While Ward was a reporter on Cleve-
land newspaper, and some time before
he had begun to make reputation as
u humorist, he was, one evening, sent
out to write up a '.swell'' entertain
ment to be given by the leading club of
tho city. On his way to the hall Ward
met u friend.

Got a programme, haven't youp"
"Yes."
"Well, write it up and then let's
make little round"
Ward surrendered. He wrote UP the
performance, took the article to the
Office, and, after having received tho
praise Of the city editor for the grace.
fulness Of the work, went. out with his
friend. The next morning he read his
"report" and was much pleased with
his own ingenuity, but his complacency
was Of short life, for, taking up another
paper, he read the following announce.

"The performance of the A club,

had worked.

Raising Calves.

Very often COWS can be purchased at
IL less cost than by raising them. and il
the same quality in all respects could
be secured this would be a better plan.
The advantages Of raising the calves,
is that the farmer gets the benefit OF
his trouble and experience in selecting,
matin. aud breeding. He secures to a.
much better extent the blood of his
best stock. These are all important in
securing good milk COWS. While it is
generally slow yet TO considerable
extent il is possible 10 gradually i'm
prove really good COWS by selecting out
carefully the breeding stock, and prop
erly mating.
10 do this, so that the best possible
results can be secured. experience is
necessary, and the best experience is
that learned from your own stock. II you
have been selecting, mating and breed
ing under anything like average condi-
tions, you ought 10 be able TO secure
better results with them than any one

How the Darkey Made Love.

BE it known that Cuffce. on his ar

with the ebony cook in the kitchen, but
he was dumbfoundcd in the presence of
this sable woman, the art Of oflove-making
being to him an almost unfathomablc
mystery. Cuffee, however, was bound
TO learn. and he silently followed the
pair 10 the shady bower.

very cautiously pecrcd within. There
on the bench sat the young lady. and

to see prairie dog tails going into the

else, and II good; judgment is used q
more decided improvement can be made
and here is another advantage. With
stock of all kinds the feed and care have
much to do with the proper develop
ment, and tho farmer who feeds his
stock SO that steady gain is recured
will. by raising his own stock, be able
to secure the full benefit. No after
treatment will fully remove the effects
of stunting when young. We may be
able to develop II very good animal
even after it has been stunted. At the
same time better animal would have
been secured If steady growth had
been maintained from birth to maturi-
ty.
With calves that arc to be kept for
cows it is very important to secure the
best development. The breed is very
important and 1t is no inconsidclable
item TO mate carefully, but il these are
given and yet proper care is not taken
in feeding and shcltering, the best de-
vclopmcnt will not be secured. The man
who raises his own cows has the adj
vantage of all these il he chooses TO
take the pains 10 secure. and ought to
be able TO raise better grade of COWS
than can usually be purchased; and it
is betterto have the better quality even
at an additional cost. than to have the
cheaper animal and lower quality. And
when selecting and breeding to i'm
prove every advantage should be taken
to secure the best. And in the majori-
" Of cases the best calves that will
make tho best COWS can be secured by
mating and breeding the COWS on the
farm
