Making the Calves Gentle.

Calves should always he treated gently.
It is the only way to make them docile
when they come to be cows. BY begin
sma II. their size may be increased, while
at the same time the animal will become
used to it, so that she will be broken to
milking even before she has calf. A
calf thus treated is worth much more
when she becomes cow than one that
has to be broken into milking at that
time.-Prairie Farmer.

Called it Square,

A friend of mine. Il newspaper man,
tells me that he was lately i'll il small
town in New York state where Chauncey
DeDew was billed to make Il speech that
night, and it happened he stopped ut
the same hotel Depew did. Just after
supper the editor of the local paper
dropped in to see Mr.. Depew. and the dis
tinguished gentleman proceeded to have
some fun with the country journalist. He
had fun, too. and every now and then ne
! rounded up q sentence against the editor
by saying: "Oh, you can't believe every
thing in the newspapers the editor hav'
ing used the newspaper matter very large
" in his argument.
After the speechmaking was over the
editor met Mr.. Depew in the hotel Of
| flee again, and there was Il big crowd
present.
"Well, my friend inquired the genia
Chauncey, what did you think of my
| speech?'
The editor hesitated Il moment.
Are you," he asked solemnly, 1.-THE gen
uine Chauncey NJ. Depew?
"Certainly, why not?'
|. care you the one. that all the news
papers have been saying was the finest

public?" pursued the editor.
! II guess I'm the one" hlushed the gen
! tleman. "Why?''
/ '.Oh, because you can't believe every

And Depew shook hands with the edi

BenevOlence in the Factory.

A prince among advertisers, William
l.. douglas, president of the w. l.. Doug
las Shoe Co., Monticello. Mass, is not less
eminent for practical Kindness to the host
OF people employed by him in the protluc-
ton of the celebrated So shoe. We look
naturally to man of his enterprise for
comprehensive and noble benevoence, and
we are not disappointed. Adding still
another expression of his manly good feel
ing towards people who depend on him
for a livelihood. he has appointed Il we'll
equipped physician as custodian of the
health of the work people. Every per
son employed at the factory commands
the Doctors services, either within it's
walls or, if need be. at his or her own
home; and it is within the physician S
province, of course, to prescribe absolute
rest when this shall appear necessary or
desirable. The Douglas doctor exacts no
fees from his patients, his engagement
being by arrangement with Mr.. Douglas.
whose claims on the loyal good-feeling
of his employees are emphasized by this
expression of his bounty.
1t ought to be generally known that
since December. 1888, the principle of ar
bitratiOn has been recognized by formal
agreement of the w. l.. Douglas Shoe
Co. with its employees. every man in the
employment of the firm signing an agree
ment to submit any disagreement that
may arise and not otherwise be settled
to the State Board of Arbitration for Il
decision to bind both parties.

Very Absent Minded.

A good illustration of how absent-lnind-
ed business can make man is given by
the Boston Traveller. 1t was the busiest
time Of the year for the man in mention,
and although he was but recently married
most Of his time was taken up: with his
arduOus labors. 1t was well on toward
midnight when he closed his desk few
days since, and being tired wendell his
Il few minutes was in the land of nod,
dreaming over the many trials and tribu-
lations undergone during the day. All of
Il sudden he awoke with start. "Where
am 1? Have l gone crazy?' He looked
around the room for II while. trying to
realize what seemed SO strange. Pretty
soon it came to him that he was II mar
ried man. so, jumping up, he dressed him
self as quickly as possible and turned tow
ard home. His wife, very much worried,
was sitting up waiting for him. 1t was a
long time before he could convince her of
thf, truth

Irregularity was the chief feature Of the

Baltimore and Ohio was sold on reports
that the companys efforts to secure the
Valley road, of Ohio, had ahtagonized
