NHE COLD WEATHER FLAG

the first time this season. If you
were out without your wraps
there is no doubt that you did
not have to glance at the signal

a decided wintry feeling. Speak

FUR GARMENTS? Are you
supplied, or have yon delayed
purchasing? Present indications
point to decidedly colder weather.
II you have not selected Winter
Garments, past experience has no
doubt taught you that the old es-
tablished house of "STEDE" is
the prorer place to obtain them

curing goods at very low prices,

Turkeys Carrying Their Young.

The frequent remark that the turkey
hen will have better success in raising
her young if she is allowed to carry
them to the fields and manage them in
her own way, is true so far as the young
turkeys are concerned after they have
reached the age of ten or twelve weeks,
but the turkey hen is just as unfortu-
nate with very young turkeys as are the
persons who take charge of the hens
and broods- The fact is that young
turkeys are very susceptible to damp
ness. and as they feather very rapidly
they require plenty of heterogeneous and
mineral food. which must be supplied.
1t happens that the turkey hen some
times secures a greater variety of suita-
bic food when she is running at large
than when confined, which accounts for
her success sometimes. The greatest
loss to young turkeys is due to the large
gray lice, which work on the heads
and Threats, but which cannot be seen
except by close examination--FarIn-

MONEY IN FORESTRY.
An Industry Which. in Time VIII Pay
Usurious Interest.

An Industry which, in Time Will Pay
Usurious Interest.
At the present rate of consumption
the apparent supply of timber in the
United States will last for 100 years,
but an increased demand would easily
reduce the period to G century. For
ests disappear at the rate of thou
sands of acres annually. 1t takes many
years to replace this loss besides that
which may be caused by large forest
fires. There is no doubt that I good
deal of money could be made out of
land that is now idle by planting it to
forest trees. II will take few years
for the trees to get large enough TO bring
any returns, and the interest on the
money invested is the only thing lost
in the meantime. Break the sod in
June. not deeper than 2 or inches. In
August the land may be plowed length
wise of the furrow and deep enough to
turn under the old sod, leaving few
inches of clean earth on top. Either
plant the trees in the fall or wait until
the next spring, meantime rolling and
narrowing and marking the land feet
apart each way. Three persons with
out much experience can plant $500
trees in ten hours. As they are planted
in straight line they can be worked
with cultivator TO keep the ground
clean during the first summer and I'M
til the trees are large enough to take
care of themselves.-Farm and Home.

this country. 1t is a single tree. spliced
once in the middle. and is nearly three
hundred feet high and as straight Us an
arrow.
These are but few of the many
wonders of the great fair belonging to
the state exhibits. each building pos
sessing many rare relics and curios of
its own state. and after viewing the
wonders of the greater buildings one
may find many surprises awaiting him
here.
An institution OF the fair that is crea-
tive of some trouble and much amuse-
ment TO the visitors IS the folding chair
which has recently been introduced. Ii
is diminutive affair of very frail con-
struction and aioIt as conducive to
bodily comfort as would be an up
turned strawberry box. To witness a
two-huudred pound man trying to
perch his bullying anatomy on one of
these inGuisitorial contrivances is equal
to seeing a slack-wire performance by
a novice in the business. Such a sight
was witnessed the other day near the
Administration building where a crowd
had gathered to listen 10 the music of
the band. \ big man had one of the
little chairs and tried to sit on it, but
the little chair was not equal to the
task and collapsed. The chairs are let
for ten cents and are TO be returned by
the user. but that little chair was not
returned. II got a kick that reduced it
to toothpicks and scattered it over half
an acre OF territory.

RIVALRY AMONG BEES.
Keen Competition Prevails Among the
Little Honey Gatherers.

Keen Competition Prevails Among the
Little Honey Gstherers.
The thought has more than once sug-
gested itself to the writer as ne has
watched a number of bees at work upon
some favorite flower whether the little
honey bearers ever strive to gain and
keep such treasures to themselves
Anyone may convince himself that q
keen competition really prevails among
bees OF all sorts toward the end of the
season. if he will take the trouble to
count the Number of times in an hour
that a particular blossom is visited by
a bee, or would be visited If il contained
honey, as it is not necessary for a bee
10 alight on a flower to know that she
must go away empty. Darwin has lef:
il on record, after carefully watching
certain aowers, that each one was Wis
tied by bees at least thirty times in a
day, and it cannot be supposed that the
little visitors in such circumstances find
much to reward their industry. Sir
John Lubbock has also shown that they
will often visit from twenty to twenty
five flowers in a minute. 1t is very in
teresting to note that on such occasions
bees always keep TO the same species of
flower during each visit TO the fields

ground through which he was passing,
and killed. He had scarcely time to
utter a feeble cry before he was strick-
en- into insensibility. and death. But
that feeble cry had been heard and
assistance came to him. He was car
ried to drug store about a block and
a half away. but life was extinct. The
officers of the city were unable to find
any enemies of the young man or any
cause for his murder other than rob-
berry. They did not know what amount
of money he had about his person or
whether he wore a watch and chain or
other jewelry, and hence they knew
not where to look for the murderer.
The case was finally given into the
hands of a colored officer named West,
and he. by reason of his wide acquaint-
ance among the criminal classes of his
own race in that section. discovered
the murderers of Philip Hirth and
brought them all to justice.
There were four of them. and three
of them were hanged while another
died in the penitentiary. One of the
murderers. a great big negro named
Bedford. had been employed in the
store of Philip Hirth, and knew that
he was carrying home with him an I'M
usually large amount of money that
night He took the other three negroes
with him and they were all engaged in
the murder. Bedford struck the first
blow. and unfortunately Hirth recog-
nized him and begged not to be killed.
That recognition was his death knel.
The brutal assailant killed him with a
stone. Officer West found a young
negro spending more money than he
could possibly have honestly, arrested
him on suspicion. and induced him to
confess his completely in the Hirth
murder With all these experiences
before them, and the assurance that
crime will be detected and punished,
our criminal classes fear to violate the
law Therefore, II you come to WASH
ington and see our policemen walking
the streets-apparently as ornaments
to the city. without anything to do; or
if you read in books or newspapers
that the policemen of Washington
have an easy life of it, you must under
stand that this life of comparative
ease, because of our comparative free
dom from crime, comes to the city by
reason of the fact that our officers
have been brave and true to their
duty, and have brought about whole
some fear among the criminal classes,
so that they do not dare to violate the
law as frequently and openly as they
do in some other cities. / think it is
rather to our credit and rather to
their credit that the policemen of the
city of Washington have. comparative
IL. little to do. 1t is well, however, to
have them all on duty and it is only to
be regretted that the police force is
not larger by at least a hundred, in
order :h:at our great parks may be

THE COLUMBIAN COINS.
Not Sufficient Demand for Them to Make
1t Pay to Counterfeit Them.

Although such a loud cutlery was
raised just after the Columbian half
dollars were issued about the possibili-
" of counterfeiting them. no word has
reached the treasury department of
even an attempt at counterfeiting. OF
course if a couuterfeiter could work
undisturbed he could make handsome
profit reproducing the coins just as they
are made at the mint They contain
thirty-nine cents worth of silver and
they sell for one dollar. But, accord
ing to the Washington Star, the world 5
fair people have had such hard time
trying to get rid of them al the market
rate, that possibly the counterfeiters
feel discouraged. As none have been
sold at less than one dollar, they could
not put limitations into the market at a
cut rate without exciting suspicion
And the public does not seem 10 be
laundering very much for Columbian
half dollars at one dollar each
Only one attempt has been made to
initiate the new silver coins, so far as is
known in the secret service Office, AID
that one was hardly worth considering.

ter dollar has been received II is evil

mination and force, with the liberal
use of hickory clubs, dispersed that
mob. The ''Swampoodlers" never
gathered again in force.
There was another section of the city
as bad as "Swampoodle," which was
known to the police and in the public
prints as "Helrs Bottom" 1t was be-
. lieved to be properly named and was
known as the most dangerous section
of the northwestern part of the city.
Only few years ago police officer
named Americas Grippen followed
negro murderer to his lightless room
in ''Hell's Bottom" chased him up the
stairs. followed him under his bed and
killed the murderer, although he lost
his own life in the effort. Since that
occasion not a single disturbance of
any magnitude has occurred in "Helfs
Bottom" A number of splendid resi-
dences have been built there and it is
growing rapidly in value because it is
growing in responsibility and favor.

the north of "Hell's Bottom" which
was almost equally as bad, young
merchant, named Philip S. Hirth, who

cRANKs All The FAIR.
Some Queer Samples of Human Natur
Now on View in Cgicago.


Now on View in Cqicago.
AS we expected, the fair has at
tracted the indigenous and numerous
American cranks as well as foreign
persons with mental and moral
crotchets. These, and also youthful
peniuses, have besieged, personally
and by letter, the ways and means
committee.
A few examples, as cited by the
Century Magazine, will indicate how
much of human nature as it really Is
will not be on exhibition at the fair.
An American was early in the field with
divine revelation of the site which
had been foreordained for the fair
when the foundations of the world
were laid. and an Englishman has de-
sired to be put on exhibition as the
Messiah.
Two bows of respectable parentage"
in western New York have offered to
walk to Chicago. and to camp on the
exposition grounds with the purpose OF
illustrating the life of tramps. and of
lecturing on its vicissitudes. Another
boy of sixteen recommended that a
number of nickel-in-the-slot photo
graphs fixed to repeat amusing fish
stories might be placed in the Fish
cries building and about the grounds:
he urged that a royalty on the sugges-
ton would help his widowed mother.
An enterprising dealer in cosmetics
asked for space to exhibit an old
woman. one-half of whose face was to
be smoothed out with his preparation
and the remainder left with its mortal
wrinkles until the end of the fair.
when he would smooth out the other
half in the presence of the multitude.
The parents OF n ''favorite orator of
six years offered his services as intro

tory ceremonies. which would. they
thought. lend emphasis to the pOrten-
tous Importance of the occasion. A
mathematician asked for standing room
where he might show the world how to
square the circle.
Out of Indiana came a solver of per-
petual motion: he was informed that
space could not be allotted for the eX-
hibition of an idea. so he would have 20
bring on his machine: later he informed
the committee that his self-feeding

A Georgian asked for concession TO
conduct a cockpit. and another son of
the south knew of a colored child which
was an anatomical wonder. and could
be had by stealing it from its mother;
for a reasonable sum he was willing 70
fill the Office of kidnaper. Innumera-
bic freaks of nature have been ten
dered. and the pretty English barmaid
has in several instances inclosed her
photograph with an offer of assistance
to the fair.
\ very serious offer came from a
Spaniard. who had been disgusted with
the weak attempts to give bull fights
in Paris during the recent exposition.
He offered to fill the brutal void at the
Columbian fair if he could be assured
