otherwise engaged in stealing their
bait. An old fellow, probably foot
in diameter, had crawled up on the
log, prepared to spend the night, when
suddenly large owl lit on q limb that
projected from the trunk Just above
the turtle. The latter slipped noise
lessly into the water. His owlship
merely turned his head, keeping his
position.
After few moments the turtle re-
turned. The owl watched him fully
five minutes, and then commenced
edging his way down the limb. The
movement could not be detected except
by locating the position with some
fixed object beyond. Presently it came
to the body of the tree, and then COM
menced moving sideways by the same
slow motion toward the turtle, whose
side II soon reached. The turtle drew
out its long neck to the uttermost,
took look at its owlship, and resumed
its previous position of rest. The owl
cooked his head toward the turtle, as
much as to say: 'How are you. old
friend?" Then the owl resumed his
side movement, forcing the turtle
slowly up the log. The turtle would
move two or three inches at time and
settle down. The owl approached
slowly until its body came in contact
with that of the turtle, when the lat
ter would move again.
This was continued until the owl had
pushed the turtle about four feet, and
to the end of the log, which was above
the water about four feet.
At the end of the log the turtle man.

ly the owl outstretched its monstrous
wings over the turtle. In a second
there was a scream of pain from the
owl. The bird arose from the log to
the height of thirty feet, then darted
across the stream, striking the ground
with a thud that was heard fifty
yards above. Pafford rushed to the
spot and caught them. The turtle had
seized him by the wing, close to the
body, and held on with a tenacity
worthy OF a bulldog. The turtle meas
ured eleven inches across the back, and
the owl three feet from tip to tip. The
latter was of the horned variety.

The protective tariff on iron ore i:
IS cents per ton, says the Mauch
Chunk Democrat. About a ton and
half is an average days work of an
ore miner, and therefore his wages, &C
cording to the Mckinley doctrine, are
protected to the amount OF $I.Ia1
per day. And if it were true that pro
lection protects labor and makes
wages, then surely the hard working
iron ore miners Of Lehigh and old
Berks should be good for at least S.. SC
per day. But, what do they get1 lie,
this simple announcement from the
Lehigh region answer:
"The ore miners at Minesite, lie
high county, get 10 cents per day; a
reduction of 10 cents day has jus,
been made"
1t seems very difficult to believ,
that any considerable number o
miners and laborers can be deludec
by the played-out protection frauc
much longer.
Let Congress hurry up the tariff re
form bill with iron ore and all othe
raw materials on the free list.

Winter Tours via Pennsylvania Railroad

The final arrangements are now
made by the Tourist Bureau of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
the running of its personally conduct
ed tours for the coming season. First
and foremost in point OF magnitude
and attractiveness come those to Cali
fornia and Florida. The dates for
the former are January 3Ist and Feb
ruary 22d. The first date has been
selected SO that en- route to the glor-
ious westernmost State of the Union
the Mardi Gras festivities at New Or
leans may be enjoyed by the tourists.
California will command unusual at
tention this winter by. reason of the
Mid-winter Exposition to be held at
San Francisco. This exhibition promis.
es almost to rival the late Worlds Fair
in completeness. Many Eastern peo-
pie have already decided to attend.
Florida, always a popular haven,
still justly asserts its claim as the most
delightful part of our country in which
to pass the inclement months of the
year. Five tours will be run there,
January goth, February a7th, March
18th, and March 25th, have been
chosen as the starting dates. $50
from New York, $4S from Philadel
phia, and an equally low rate from
other points will cover all expenses
en- route.
Old Point Comfort appeals strongly
to those not caring to journey further
from home, and on December 76th,
this historic spot will be visited by a
special tour. Last come the tours to
Washington, d. c., on December I I4th
and aSth, January 18th, February 9Th,

Hog RAISING.

At present prices the hog is the
most profitable animal the farmer can
aise. The truth of this statement is
20 generally recognized that next year
The market will doubtless be gluted
with hog products. This should in
duce farmers to pause and consider
that animals which are to o-day bnng
ing good prices will then be almost
unstable. But there is always room
at the top. First.class pork will al
ways command good price. The
farmer should select the breed best
fitted to his conditions and give the
most intelligent care to the breeding
and feeding OF his animals. Nicely
striped lean and fat pork is the kind
in demand, and the farmer mus, feed
with this objec, in view.
Pigs eat such variety of food ,ha,
they are very economical stock 10
keep as they consume much that
would otherwise go TO waste, and the
discovery of the good properties OF
wheat as food for stock has helped
solve the feeding question. Wheat is
not perfect ration, but it is decid |
ell Improvement on corn and is excel |
lent for young and growing stock, |
which are not so likely to be stunted |
if overfed with il as they are with corn.
This is serious point, TO. the momen,
an animal stops growing he begins to
lose money for his owner.

our products. The West side is coming to

venIent place for manufactures, and its
development will soon settle the Third street
problem. Fill up this fiat instead OF pro-
jecting suburbs and the whole city will gain
more advantageously.
Edward A. Cammack, Secretary and Treas
urer Crescent Creamery Company-We ex-
pect to add condensed milk mandatory
TO our concern within sixty days; will prob
ably put up another six or eight-story build
ing for it. Business shows steady and nat
ural increase with us.
G. w. Baker, st. Paul White Lead and Oil
Company-Our business in Wisconsin is very
heavy now. and orders from South Dakota
are coming in better than year ago. Alto
gether. it is easily more than double the trade
of three years ago. AS late as two years ago
so per cent of the sale of paints to manufact-
uring concerns were made by Chicago
houses. Now, the W. A. Wood harvester
concern has just bought five tons of paints
from us, and we sell such concerns as the
Northern Shade company and manufact-
urers in general. We suit them on qualities,
can figure at rock bottom on prices and hold
a commanding position in the business. St.
Paul is rapidly becoming noted center for
paints and oils.
H. Gedney, Gedney & Co., Wholesale
Pickles and Vinegars-Trade is quite salts
factory with us. We are doing as much as
last year. and covering about four time as
much territory. Our four houses, Omaha,
Neb.; Mansion, Wis; Minneapolis and here,
are looking for a continuance of steady,
safe business.
f. Van Duyne, st. Paul Showcase Com
pany-we came over here to the West side
last fall, and you can see the boys are all
busy on fine work. The demand for fancy
cigar cases. jewelIy cases and all goods in our
line keeps improving, and we are we'll pleased
with the outlook.
j. A. Broderick, General Manager Ryan
Drug Company-We rather looked for a 30 per
cent decrease in trade in March, correspond
ing with the previous year, but it footed up
an improvement. and that of April promises
to be the largest in the history of the concern.
February is the only month that ran behind
any, and that was very little. You can speak
enthusiastically of the trade-the conditions
warrant it.

and running a little overtime. Collections
