4 BORN LAWYER.

A lawyer advertised for clerk. The
next morning the Office was crowded
wi h app.icants-all bright and many
suitable. He bade them wait till all
should arrive, and then arranged them
all in low, and said he would tell
them d story, note their comments, and
Judge that whom he would choose.
"a certain farmer" began the law
yer, ''was troubled wi h red squirrel
that got in through a hoe in his barn
and stole his seed corn. He resolved
to kill the squirrel at the first oppor-
tunity. Seeing him 60 in at the hole
one noon, he took his shotgun and
fred away; the shot set the barn
on fire."
Did the barn burn" said one of the
boys.
The lawyer with out answering con-
tinued And seeing the barn on fire
the farmer seized pail of water and
ran to put it out.
"Did he put 1t OUT" sand another.
''As he passed inside, the dor shut
70, and the barn was soon in flames.
When the hired girl rushed out with
more water"
s'Did they all burn up?' said another
boy.
The lawyer went on wi ihour answer;
"Then the old lady came out, and all
was noise and confusion, and every
body was trying to put out the fire."
':Did any one burn up?' said an
other.
The lawyer slid: "Taere, thlt will
do; yon have all shown great interest
in The story" But observing one lit
tie bright-eyed fellow in deep silence
he said: ''Now my little man, what
have you to say?"
The little fellow blushed, grew ur-
easy and stammered ont: II want 10
know what became of that squirrel !;
that's what want to know
you'll do" said the lawyer; you
are my man you have not been SWITCH
ed off by a confusion and barn burn
ing, and the hired girls AMI water
pals. You have kept your eye on the
squirrel" e'.;, =

born In Pennsylvania In 1871, fought
in the war OF 1912, an Indian war,
and the war with Mexico, serving az
a teamster In the Federal army from
1861 to 1866. When the Mexican
war broke out Franklin was getting
along in years, but he ~i0l6ed the
forces of Gen. Scott, Under whom be
fought at Ldhdy'a Lane in 1914. On
retiring from the army at the close Of
the Mexican war, he located at Keo-
kuk, Iowa, and subsequently repre-
Scented Van Buren, County in the
Iowa Legislature, but later moved to
Kansas, where he was when the first
shot was fired at Fort Sumter. The
old warrior at once sought service on
the Union side, but failed on account
of his age. AFTER being refused en-.
listment at several stations, he was
finally employed as teamster,. ir
which capacity he served throughout
the war. He was married in 1929 tt
Miss Elizabeth RAIDER, who died In
1871. They had ten children. -

Rolling Meadow Land.

Rolling the meadow, and some
times the pasture land, as soon as the
frost leaves the ground la the spring,
is often done by practical farmers
The action OF frost often throws
many stones to the surface, and when
the ground becomes settled these i'm
pediments ere thus left in position
to cause serious injury to the cutting
apparatus of the moving machine.
Upon land liable to heave by action
of frost the surface soil Is left uneven,
many tufts Of timothy are nearly
thrown out of the soil, and these the
roller presses down smooth, and only
insuring better and more healthy
growth, but leveling the field for the
more economical gathering ofthe
crop. Fall sown wheat and rye fields
are often benefited by rolling, which
should be done the same day that the
field is seeded to clover, or soon az
ter as the action of the roller in
crushing Jumps aud mellowing the
surface, makes a good seednbed, and
covers a large proportion Of the
clover seed. ,rtc -, ~, $50 : !

A Coat for a Word.

A poor man may possess wit SO
fine that 1t is capable OF doing him q
great deal of service, and then wait
long time before an opportunity
comes for him to exercise it profita-
bly,. This was the case with an ell
derby tramp who was once intrusted,
for want OF better messenger, with
an errand to the Duke of Bedford.
swell, you're queer fellow" said
the duke on seeing him. What is
your name?"
@My name is Russell, your grace"
The duke laughed heartily, for his
own name was Russell.
"And how about your coat OF drms?"
asked the duke. rs that the same
as the Duke of Bedford's?"
@Ah, your grace, said the man,
sour arms may be much the same,
but fancy there's a slight difference
in our coats!"
AS this fact was only too apparent,
the duke sent for good coat Of bis
own and gave 1t to the man.

The anniversary OF the death Of
Charles !. calls attention to the fact
that there are several relics still ex-
tant OF his trial and execution. Sir r..
Palgrave, the learned Clerk of the
House OF Commons, has been able to
specify the exact spot occupied by the
King during his trial in Westminster
Hall; the chair on which he sat is in
the board-room Of the hospital at More
ton-on-the-Marsh, Gloucestershire; the
hat OF the president OF the court, Brad
shaw, who remained covered through
out the trial, Is in the Ashmolean
Museum at Oxford; the footstool on
which the King knelt or more proper
ly supported him, when he laid his
head on the block, lying down prone,
is, with an escritoire and other relics
OF Charles L., in the possession OF Mr..
Martin Edmunds, Walmer, Kent, and
the room where the death warrant was
signed is a little compartment of the

The Era Of MnscIe.

This is an athletic age. Everybody wants to
be strong. The craze-for 1t has well nigh
reached that stage-affects both sexes and even
childhood. The pugilistic phase Of this fad in
young America is by no means morally prom
Using. But 1t is one thing to be endowed with
viRor and another to be Sandowed with muscle.
Super muscularityi is often induced by physical
efforts perilous to health and calculated to
shorten life. The vigor which means q regular
and efficient discharge of the physical func-
lions is the first medium at which all may safe
ly aim without causing ruptures or breaking
blood vessels. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
largely conducive to gain in vtgor OF this sort
since 1t stimulates and assists digestion, pro-
notes regular bilious secretion and keeps the
bowels in order Sleep. that grand recuperator

Tho FIXTURE Of Farming.

The so-calied bonanza wheat farms
OF the Northwest and the big farms
of the California valleys grew out OF
transient conditions that, no longer
prevail-the California farms out Of
the old Spanish land grants and the
Minnesota and Dakota farms out OF
the congressional grants to railroads
The history of the Northwestern big
farms Is that the land was purchased
from the railroad companies with de-
preciated stock, and cost originally
about 81 per acre. The low price of
wheat and the higher price OF land
have changed the whole aspect Of
large farming. There is no BONANZA
in the big farm now; it makes but a
moderate profit on the capital IL rep
resents IN average crop years, and
with a bad crop 1t barely pays run.

lieve that We are now In . transition

A New Insurance Society.

An Old Maids Insurance Society
is talked of in London, much to the
delectation of the alleged funny men
who are always on the look out for a
target for their wit They suggest
that another designations be adopted,
as ladies of all ranks and ages would
repudiate an appellation which has
60 much that is invidious, disrespe IT.
full and distasteful to the feminine
mind of approaching age and single
blessedness. "Old maids" is certain
ly not nice expression to put on
the program Of society, but what
ever the title, there is nothing chi
merical or impracticable in the prof.
ect itself. A similar society has
long been in operation throughout
Denmark and works well and profit
ably. The general outline Of the
plan, it seems, is that lady who
does not feel sure that she means To
be married or wants to be married,
should pay an annual premium to the
central office; she receives form OF
policy duly executed and upon con.
dition that she pays her annual pre-.
miums with regularity, she will re.
ceive at the age of forty a round sum
proportionate TO the extent of her in.
vestments and with probably certain
bonuses. In case she marries before
or after that age, she must forfeit all
claim upon the company. Now that
the number of non-marrying women IL
increasing so fast, society Of this
sort would be of good benefit to the
many who are necessarily self-sup
porting, and who. unless provided
for in some such way, can only look
forward to an old age Of poverty and
neglect.
