Mrs. Samucl's Life Pass.

During the reign of the James boys
In Missouri, II was observed that the
trains of the Hannibal and st. Joe
were never molestcd by the James
boys or their banditti, says the Denver
News. Trains OH every other road
near Kcarncy or Kansas City were
periodically robbed.
The st. Joe road seemed TO be In
variably protected from their visits. 1t
was all due to an annual pass. One
day while in the Office of the general
superintendent of the road at lianni-
bal II News reporter saw the list of
parties TO whom annual passes were
issued. Among the number was the
name of Mrs. Samucls, of kcarney,
Mo. This station is II primitive set
t!cmcnt of houses that resemble match
boxes whitewasled. The place is
known to history, however, us the
home of Jesse and Frank James, the
famous outlaws.
"IIow is tliat!" was asked OF the
Superintendent, in astonishment, when
1t was recalled that Mrs. Samuels was
Houc OtlVT 'il'til tlt oUc-Nuieu ulOtucE
of the noted robbers.
"My dear boy" responded the rail
way official with suavc smile and an
exubcran twirl of his massive watch
chain, "ihat annual pass saves the st.
Joe road Il, ,)u.ands of dollars, and our
trains, as yoa know, are never molcst-
cd by The James boys. We have car
ricd her for yea and will continue
to do so as long ms we turn wheel.
She has the only life pass on the road
Not long afterwards, when Frank
james was pardoned and walked
around Kansas City in the last stages
of consumption. he was asked about
the little incident, and responded feel
ingly:-
ave never boarded st. Joe train
Just on that account. The kindness
shown our crippled mother and the
refusal of the road TO run a special
train r Pinkcrto:.Jncn TO surprise u-
touched the hearts of both Jesse and
myself. This is why we never bothered
that road."
This shows what an annual thss will
do in some eases.

ABOUT THE FARM.
Hints for Farmers and Busy
Housewives to Appreciate.


Tho low price Of beef and dairy
products Is causing moro attention to
be paid to sheep, which in consequence
are growing scarcer. There Is another
reason in the great amount of labor o
herd of cows make, whether their milk
be sold direct, or made into butter or
cheese. The old English rule was that
the keep Of eight sheep equallcd that
of ono cow. Sheep arc, however,
more delicate feeders, and will not
thrive on coarse stocks us well as COWS
will. They aro also close feeders
In summer, and on old pastures live
where herd of cows would starve.
On the other hand, sheep in winter will
not cat the butts of cornstocks as
closely IS will cattle.

To lecture crowd on advanced
ideas in butter making, and then have
the old-fashioned churn refuse to
bring the butter perfectly, is only
made more ridiculous b. an apology.
by the way, II sounds strange to hear
the chief lecturer at these New York
conferences say that he is not aware
that there is any reliable test for the
fats in milk. Wherein does the little
shnkc bottle churn of Col. Curtis show
any greater reliability than big
churn. No churn can recover all of
the butter fats in milk, and utterly

ovcrshadowed by Russian influence,
the vall.ahd ls not apt to contract pro.
possessions or apprellensions whlchlt is
difficult TO throw of, and which may
affect his entire subsequent rcign. The
Shah has three timcs been to Europe,
1T with incxcusablc narrowness of
vision, has never permitted his son to
stir outside of Persia. The consequence
is that but little Is known of the
character and capabilities of the latter,
which arc variously represented as
those of a polished and well-informed
gentleman and Of weak and harmless
n0ncntity.
THE SHAH AS SOVEREIGN.
As a ruler the Shah possesses many
excellent qualities. Firm, fairly just
and diligent, he is in his own person
the sole nrbiter of Pcrsia's fortunes.
All policy cmanatcs from him. He
superviscs every department with a
curiosity that requires to be allaycd by
periodical grat,litics; and his attention
to affairs of state is constant and unre-
hitting. There Is consensus of
opinion In Persia that he is the ablest
man In the country, and the best ruler
that 1t could produce. Nor will any
ono deny him the possession of patriot
ism and of genuine interest in the
welfare of tho nation. lie is, how
ever, placed in most unfortunate
situation by tho rivalry Of Great
Britain and Russia, while he is further
impeded by the intrigucrs that swarm
about the court and person of the mon
arch, by tendency natural tc humans
ity, and particularly to a man who has
passed the middle Of life, to let things
abide in his time, and by sense OF
powerlcssness against the pctrified

The common American holly may be
successfully transplantcd from its na-
tive habitat to the garden, If severely
pruncd at the time Of removal. If tho
trees ARE five or six feet high, cut away
at lcas, iwo-tliirds of all the branches,
or, in other words, shorten them to
about onc-ihrd of their original length.
ion need not pay any attention to
the buds on the stems or branches, for
there are always enough latent or adj
vcnlitious buds from which new shoots
will spring in due time. When digging
the plants preserve ms many of the
roots as possible, but if onc-half are
preserved, and the top cmt back, as VIC
have directed, there will be little dan
ger Of failure. Early spring is the
best season for transplaniing the broad
lcavcd evergreen trees and shrubs.

II was m old expression among
farmers that when the summer nights
arc warm enough so pcop'c did not
want any bcd-clo,hcs over them, the
corn would grow. One woman had
so much faith in this ru G that one cold
season when the condition of the crops
was in doubt she actually laid and
shivcrcd night after night, thinking
that if she could stand it the corn
would grow. And she was as con-
sis,cni MS the man who thinks he is n
good farmer while robbing and skin
ming 80 acres of pasture and wet
meadow, and putting the manure all
on few acrcs about the house. II
may be the best u man can do now.
IL is certainly better than spreading
his labor and fertilizer over too much
land. II has been dinc so long on
many farms that under present con.
ditions the owners are not able to 90
back and undo IT, This is one reason
why farmers cannot get rich where
their ancc TORS did. The soil has been
skinned aud exhausted, the pasture is
almost barren, the timber is sold of,
and when the team goes to market IL
must bring back load of feed or fer
tilizcrs, thing which was not thought
of two generations ago.
