That is, instead of importing foreign
wool in the form of woolens manufactured
in England and elsewhere, our people use
more largely of American wool in the form
of American woolens made by American
labor. The decrease of SIS, 522, ,352 in
our imports of these goods during the
year sufficiently explains the statement in
the consumption of domestic wool. 1t
represents the sum expended in expand
ing the home at the expense of :he foreign
industry. That is the way the Mckinley
tariff works.

Don't scod and complain next spring if
you lind yourself out of pocket in the hen
business, because all these winter months
you have been feeding literally of cron,
wheat and other grain. hare given no
vegetables. chopped and boiled, no clover,
given the tlocks no change for exercise,
and taken no steps to keep the hen house
warm and Clean. Kick yourself, if you
want to. and may the bruises teach better
practices. Grain is necessary, but VIXEN
all the inexpensive yet valuable material
ha, been provided. the corn item will not
be heavy one. Put brains above habit
and make some money this winter out of
the poultry.

FARM AND HOME.
LEAN UPON MY ARM, MOTHER.
BOSTON co;.1iEE


Pray lean upon my arm, mother;
Your form is feeble now,
And silvery are the locks that shade
The burrows on your brow.
Your step Is not so strong, mother,
As III the days gone by;
But strong AS ever Is the love
That beams within your eye.
When was but babe, mother,
With tender love inspired
You carried me for many an hour
Until your arms were tired.
From childhood up to mahhood's years,
Through every pain and III,
fon watched me with loving eye;
You watch my welfare still.
And shall fail you now, mother,
When all your strength has He'd
Neglect to guide your feeble steps
AS through life's vale you tready
Your eyes are dim with age, mother.
Cares lines are on your brow;
The little feet you guided once
Are strong to guide you now
Then lean upon my arm, mother;
Henceforth, life = journey through,
What you did 30 long for him
Your boy will do tor you.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
The Decay OF Passion.
WILL. FOSTER.

"Oh for a touch of the most ancient fire,
That made of hate and love a noble thing;
No oswailow-summer-m motion on the wing,
But commanding passion and desire;
Whose rage no sea might qu.li, no distance
tire;
For ever lusty as the early spring,
Grand in remonstrance, firm in suffering;
sunward eagle, soaring ever higher.
All, passion then was God like: now tits blown,
\ reed, straw, changeling all Its days;
Then from its heat universe took blaze,
But now IL canaot warm itself alone;
Then hearts were hearts and the wide earth was
strewn
With mighty deeds, and star'ike, full OF
grace +"

Color of Butter.

The natural color of butter is white in.
stead of yellow, though the food and the
breed must be considered To have the
cows give yellow butter the farmer must
grow carrots and ruta bagas, which may
be fed with advantage in winter, not only
to color the butter but also to increase the
quantity, as cows thrive welt and give in.
creased yields when they receive ration
OF roots daily, and no root Is more accept
able to "orses and cows than the carrot.

The value of the fodder in the corn crop
is more important than some are aware
of. In an experiment with crop it was
make known that one acre of corn produc-
ed 400 pounds of ears and $500 pounds
of the fodder, of which 1900 pounds of
the ears were digestible, and 500 pounds
of the fodder. Estimating the entire corn
in the field to be worth SlOO. the
ears would be worth S63 and the fodder
S37.

Spraying Trees with London Purple,

The effect of spraying apple trees with
London purple to prevent ravages of the
c"dllng moth or apple worm is well illus.
trated by the experience of Mr.. Lupson, of
Virginia, as stated in recent Issue of
Insect Life. The work of spraying was
undertaken in Mr.. Lupton's orchard, but
was disc ontinued when less than one-third
OF the trees had been sprayed. From
these trees 600 barrels of apples nearly
free from worms were gathered. while
from the remaining two-thirds of the or
chard only SS3 barrels of sound fruit were
obtained, quite one fifth of the apples from
the unspraJ ed trees being wormy and un-
ft for use. Mr.. Lupton estimates that his
returns from the orchard would have
been increased $500 had all the trees
been sprayed,

and plenty of hay. IL oats are given with

Shaking Things .

mere Is young woman here to. nigth
who wo lld like to shake the world. Well,
let her get up in the morning and shake

over the great audience in the Melropoli-

few weeks ago.
1t was we'll put. He was speaking, as
you will guess, of doing the small work

The bed is pretty lood armful of world

shake it with vengeance.
Isn't 1t odd, anyhow, that people want
TO shake things that pers nal ambitions
run so often along destructive lines? For
1t wouldn't do the world anv go ID to shake

shaking the world he means destruction.
They are tine things that can not be

wants TO shake the world wants to unset.

not admire that spirit. 1t looks like a
remnant of the old savage vandalism not

TOOK THE SIDEWALK.
George Stickley Gets Drunk, and
a General Smash-Up Follows.

Tuesday afternoon George Stickley be-
came rop-heavy from mixture of too much
bad whisky and beer. He is in the employ
of Gov. Scott, and when comfortably hila-
rious attempted to drive team of colts,
hitched to spring wagon, out Adrian Pike.
When near the depot he abused the animals
which without any more ado, turned around
and made a mad rush for town, scattering
George along the way in installments.
They ran violently down Perry street to
90. Fisk's corner when they collided with
the post bearing that gentleman's sign, con-
verting it into kindling wood in short order.
The wagon shared like fate and bill of
groceries on the sidewalk was scattered over
the street.
The horses continued their course straight
down the sidewalk while pedestrians hur-
riedly took their lives in their hands and
made for the middle of the stree and ada
cent stores. After running nearly block
they were stopped in front of Vandenbroek's Is
clothing store.
Stickley was gathered in by Marshal
Burns and lodged in the city prison, and the
horses taken care of. The dismembered
wagon and collapsed sign fixtures only re-
mained half hour afterwards to testify to
the possibilities to be attained through a
drunk.
Had the accident occurred half hour
later, when the streets were full of school
children, disastrous results would have re-
suited.
Wednesday morning stickley was fined
$40 and costs.

The Outs and the ms.

The newly elected county commissioner,
Levi King of Damascus township, took his
seat upon the board Monday. presenting his
bond which was duly made out and accepted.
Mr.. King. being one of the most successful
farmers in Henry county, will make valua-
bic member of the board, as he has excellent
judgment and financial ability-two very
important requisites for the position. No
one need fear that the interests of his county
are not in good hands in the person of
Levi King.
Mr.. Geo. Daum, the retiring member of
the board, has ably filled the position for the
term of six years--two full terms. He has
made one of the most popular county com
missioners the people has ever had-gentle-
manly and genial at all times, he has hosts
of friends in every nook and corner of tbs
county, and he retires from Office with the
good wishes of all-Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike.

An Experiments with Boa CONSTRUCTOR
One day celebrated naturalist en-
tered the shop of the late Charles jam.
rach, the noted London collector of ami
mails, and said, Now, Jamrach, about
the muscular power of the boa constric-
tori suspect it has been exaggerated"
"Not bit, sir" said the collector, tax
ing very fine specimen out Of box.
"He seems very lazy and Sleepy" said
the professor. 'Idon't think he could
exert himself in this cold climate if he
tried" "You bet, sir" Jamrach said,
and wound him gently around the pro-
fessor's body. He laughed. II thought
so, Jamrach, F" he says. II feel nothing"
But presently he sings out, "Take him
off, Jamrachl take him off, man; he's
strangling mep' so Jamrach just caught
hold of the boa's tail and unwound him
off the professor, ring by ring.
When he got his breath again, the pro-
fessor admitted there was more 'latent
muscularity' about the creature than he
had suspected. "Now, SIR" said jam
rach afterward, "that boa was half asleep
and stupid, for he had just swallowed
two rabbits, six guinea pigs and thirteen
pounds of raw beef. IT he'd been fast

Miss CaIIie saygers-

At the home OF the brides parents, Com
missioner and Mrs. A. J. Ssygers in West
Napoleon. Wednesday evening, Dec. 3Oth'
Mr.. Edw. Davis and Miss Callie Saygers.
two Of Napoleon's young people, we're joined
in marriage by the Reverend NJ. L.
Donahey.
The ceremony was performed in the pres

The bride is the daughter of County Com
missioner Andrew J. Saygers, most esti-
mable young lady of very lovsble and affec-
tionate disposition, the central figure of the
circle in which she moves. The groom is the
protege since earliest boyhood of Mr.. W. II.
Jeakle a well known business man and form
or resident, and is an exemplary man,
courteous and affable, possessing mssy no.
BILE qualities of heart and mind. At eight
O'Clock the guests assembled in the parlor
forming semi-circle, facing which the
bride and groom took their respective po-
sitions, presenting most pleasing picture.
The bride was unattened. She wore robe of
pink indian silk cut en- train, high neck with
ruchings of ostrich tips of the same delicate
shade. long sleeves trimmed with chiffon
lace and pearls. The groom wore evening
dress. The Rev. Donahey approached
the couple and with an impressiveness born
of affection as we'll as the religious solemni-
ty of the occasion, pronounced the words
that made them man and wife.
Congratulations we're then in order, after
which guests were conducted to the dining
room where an elegant and sumptuous col
lation had feen prepared in honor of the
event. Some time was consumed in the dis
cussion of the tempting viands amid flowing
conversation and pleasant repartee.
At suitable hour the guests withdrew,
wishing the happy couple long and pros
porous journey through life. The presents
we're elegant, useful and numerous, showing
the high esteem in which they we're held by a
large circle of friends and acquaintance.
The couple left on the early morning train
for Chicago where some time will be spent
in taking iu the sights, afterwards visiting
friends and relatives at Elgin, Aurora and
Englewood, ILL.,, and points in Iowa and Ne
braska, returning in about four weeks, when
they will prepare to settle down to the sober
realities of married life.

Something Unusual.

1t is indeed something very unusual to
have much sickness in Henry county. But
it seems that this winter we are having more
than the usual amount. 1t may be that we
have been favored so long, that we have be-
come too careless in looking after our health.
Good doctors and good medicines are the
greatest benefactors to the health of any
community and that Henry county is blest
with both is fact we'll established. Saur &
Balsley's Drug Store has perhaps as good
and complete an outfit of all the best and
most popular medicines known to the medi-
cal profession as you will or can find any
where. They make specially of getting
and keeping on hand ready for sale, every
thing that is new and reliable. If those who
are located at some distance from any doc
tor or drugstore will buy few of the lead
ing medicines and use them in the family
when one is not feeling we'll they may often
prevent long and serious spell of sickness
by taking few doses in time.

MiSinfOrTned,

1t is due to Prof. and Mrs. Weisbach that
correction be made in the report of the ac-
cidental shooting. 1t was reported that the
flobert gun was presented to the boy by the
Professor this Christmas, and it was common
ly understood that the boy was allowed the
freedom of the gun-which is a mistake. The
gun was purchased nearly two years ago by
the Professor for the purpose of killing
sparrows and never was the boy allowed its
use unless accompanied by the father. On
the fatal day, Edward Shelf, it is claimed.
asked Powell Weisbach to get the gun and
zee if cartridge he had would fit it. Young
Weisbach found the gun in the WOOD she'd
not knowing that it was loaded he took it
down and while walking from the shed, in
some way it was discharged with the terrible
result as stated in last weeks NORTHWEST.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weisbach and family are very
much overcome by the unfort mate affair
and on them in no way should censure
be placed.
