REGARDING DRY COWS.
Why It Eoes Not Pay to Let Them Run

Why It Eoes Not Pay to Let Them Run
Down In Flesh.
\ COW that is dry should be fed with
such food as will furnish an abundance
Of nutrition without largely increas-
ing the proportion of fat. 1t is the
poorest kind OF economy to let Il dry
cow run down in flesh. and it is almost
as bad to make her Eat. She should
be kept in a good, thrifty condition
and as healthy as possible. for not
only the health of her offspring and its
future value Of beef or milk depend
on these things. but the value of the
COW as n mixer is affected for good Or
bad by her cond ition during the period
Of CESSATION. If the COW is skin poor
at the time the calf is dropped She
will not give much milk as she
would if in good condition. nor can
she be fed SO as to increase her flow to
what it would have been if she had
been properly cared for. 1t is quite a
in the fall for winter mixers. and these
arc drying dnrinG that pnrt of the
year when pasturaGe is at its poorest
and insects are most numerous. and
from these two causes dairy cattle are
likely to become reduced in flesh. If
dry cows are not attended to at this
time and given a s'ppleme ptary ration
they Of ter become thin q nd out of con-
lition. and when once this happens it
is hard &c bring them back. 1t follows
that the best course is to prevent this
from occurring. for upon attention to
this matter depends the profit from
keeping the cow.--I'rairie Farmer.

THE MOORISH MERCHANT.

He Plays n little Tricl. on His Mercenary
Relatives.
A merchant sailed over the sea to a
distant country, where lie made a
large fortune by his industry and
cleverness.
Many years after he returned home.
When he landed he heard that his
relations had met to dine at neigh
boring country house He hurried
there. and did not even wait to change
his clothes. which had got somewhat
damaged on the voyage.
When he entered the room where his
relations were assembled they did not
seem very glad to see him. because
they thought that his shabby clothes
proved that he was not very rich. a
young Moor, whom he brought with
him, was angry at their want of feel
ing, and said: ''Those ore bad men,
for they do not rejoice at seeing their

|NF|DEL SUFFRAGE CLUB,
Some Women Who Want q
Platform for Free-Think-
ing Discussion.
At Their First Meeting They Hear
Paper Denouncing
Suffrage.

The first meeting of the Free Woman s
Infidel Club of San Francisco was held
yesterday evening at 799 Market street,
where the aims and objects of the organi-
cation were explained by ]. A. Gillie to an
audience of thirty-four people, most of
whom were men.
Mrs. ]. A. Gillie, who was the chair
man, stated that the club had fully organ
lied, but that it was not yet e1pedient to
name the members. She added that the
club would be bound by no parliamentary
rules, would recognize the existence
of no officers, and would present free
platform, open to the discussion of every
subject of interest to women, without
being trammeled by respect for persons
institutions and religion.
J. A. Gillie in setting forth the objects
of the club said:
"The Free Woman's Club is organized
to promote education upon all points of
woman's suffrage and afford to the men
free opportunity for showing to the world
what a fool he can be.
1--WE believe there ought to be at least
one club in San Francisco that maintains
free and impartial platform, and where
all sides can feel at home. We propose to
discuss what is the matter with religion,
for we believe it to be the origin of all the
dire calamities from which the human
race was ever known to suffer-
To show how thoroughly people of diff
ferent views would be made at home on the
new clubs platform, gentleman named
A. Appel, whose views are strenuously op-
posed to putting the ballot into women's
hands, was invited to address the as
sembly.
| Mr.. Appel read long paper, wherein he
| predicted the terrible consequences that
allowing women to vote would bring upon
| the Nation, and he asked the audience
what would become of themselves and
their families when quarreling women
statesmen had plunged the world into
war.
"Then the men will have to go forth and
shed their hearts blood, while the women
can only sit at home and cry"
The ladies of the club were not at all
offended at these insinuations however.
They listened with good humor, and after
ward discussed the subject, without getting
angry at all.
Miss Marguerite Saxton contributed to
the general goodwill by giving recita-
ton.

THE RIVAL JOCKEY CLUBS,
Exchange of Courtesies Be-
tween Thomas H. Williams
and Ed Corrigan.
The New Organization Ia a verv
Wealthy One, and a Contest
Is Imminent.

Although the new track of the Pacific
Coast Jockey Club has just been outlined
there are indications that conflict is inn
minent between the organizers and the
California Jockey Club, which is headed
by Thomas II. Williams Jr. One of the
promoters of the new enterprise is Ed
Corrigan. At the time of his departure for
Chicago recently Mr.. Williams was inter-
viewed on the chances of the new track
making a success. At that time Mr.. Will
hams made use OF language which appar-
emily offended Mr.. Corrigan, as the follow
ing clipping from the San Francisco
Breeder and Sportsman will show
The following letter from Mr.. Corrigan is in
dicative of the attitude of the new organiza-
ton, the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, toward the
California Jockey Club. Should no compro-
mise be effected or amicable arrangements
made in the meantime between these two great
racing clubs next winter will witness rivalry
Tor patronage that will make the horsemen
and the race going public think that the mil
lennlum had come. Mr.. Williams, thro ugh his
lndomltable energy, perseverance and enter
prise, with the aid of those connected with
him, has resurrected running racing on this
coast. And while many, especially the trotting-
morse contingency, think that he should
give the reviyified sport little rest "a kind of
vacation, as it were) for a part of the year to
allow II TO recover from the exhaustion of such

good and generous wife had provided a
basket OF lunch sufficient for three families
the size of her own. ample provision for
lighter refreshments had also been made
by the committee of arrangements. There
were. beverages of beer, lemonade, soda
water and fruit offerings served out with a
most liberal hand
1t was nearly noon when Camp TAYLOR
was reached, and Immediately the plat
form and tables, located in the midst of
the branches of the stately redwoods on
the grounds, were taken possession of by
the different groups of pleasure-seekers.
Tablecloths were brought out and were
nearly concealed by the varied tempting
dishes that were placed upon them. Thus
hospitality and good cheer reigned for the
next hour and a half in midair. No one
need to have gone hungry or thirsty
friend and stranger were alike invited to
partake of the lunches spread everywhere
about the grounds.
These pleasant duties having been fin
lshed the dancing pavilion became the
magnet for most of the joyous assemblage,
but others preferred the shaded walks
through the surrounding forest, or a stroll
along the creek which flows through the
grounds. The dancing was continued
throughout the afternoon, and was inter-
spersed by selections rendered by the
CALL Mandolin Trio, composed of G. Sta
pies, +: Fisher and E. Murphy, and also
by vocal music.
Everything went off in most agreeable
manner and the time for taxing the train
for the return trip came all too soon for
every, one. But the spirit of joviality was
not allowed to die out on the train. It was
kept alive by merry singing, in one car or
another, during the entire run to the ferry
landing.
The credit for the exceedingly pleasant
day spent by every one is due to the excel
lent management of the committee OF ar
rangements, consisting of J. R. Winders,
Burke, L. F. Compton, M. D. Orr. A A.
Payne, F. Hodafer and George Mitchell.

About o'clock last night Policeman

costed by the landlord of the lodging
house, who informed him that the young
woman had been taken verv sick.
ODea ran upstairs, and, after question
ing the young woman, rang for the patrol
wagon and had her taken to the Receiving
Hospital. She had confessed to O'Dea

went in search OF Mrs. DR.. Goodwin.
ODea found her at her rooms, 1917 Mar

developments.
Every attention was paid to the young
woman at the hospital by DR.. Deane.

UNWARRANTED ARREST,
omcer Wells Will Probably Have to
Make an Explanation to His
Superiors.


Officer Wells of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children arrested
Mrs. Ellen Smith and her sister, Mrs.
Catherine Filgate, last night in the
formers house, IA Webster street,
and took them to the City Prison
in the patrol-wagon. Mrs. Smith was
the peace and Mrs. Filgate with with dis
turbing the peace.
Both ladies protested that their arrest
was an outrage. Mrs. Smith was divorced
from her husband, III. G. Smith, cook,
yesterday, and was awarded half of the
community property and the custody of
her three young children. Smith was
granted permission to see the children.
Her sister, Mrs. Filgate, who is the wife
of Captain II. P. Filgate, saloonkeeper,
722 Howard street, called upon her last
night to congratulate her. Smith, accom-
panied by Officer Wells, called at the
house to see the children, and Wells ar
rested Mrs. Smith for being drunk.
She objected that she was not drunk and
also that she could not leave her children,
one OF whom was sick, and her sister pro-
tested against the action of the officer and
followed them to the patrol box When
the patrol wagon arrived Mrs. Filgate was
also placed under arrest. Such was the
story they told.
Mrs. Smith did not have the appearance
of being drunk, and representations were
made to Captain Douglass to that effect.
The captain saw her and immedi-
ately ordered her release on
her own recognizance. 1t was
pointed out that even if she had been
drunk she had perfect right to get in that
condition in her own house. Mrs. Filgate
had previously given cash bail for her ap-
pearance.
Both ladies threatened to bring the con-
duct of Officer Wells to the notice of Chief
Crowley and the Board of Police Commits

performs work his name is entered on the
payroll and he signs receipt for money
when it is paid to him.
Just like white peonIe some of the In
dams have the knack of making money
and saving it. One of the richest men on
the reservation has $500 in the bank at
Eureka and some fifty head of horses and
as many cattle on his farm. Looking
ahead century one NAV readily fancy his
descendants as rich and as proud OF the
family name and possessions as any OF the
present members of the New York Dutch
arlstocracy OF their ancestry and wealth.
Among the Indians of this reservation
marriage IS by no means failure, but, on
the contrary, is regarded as very serious
matter. 1t is now the custom when young
people wed to send to the County Clerk s
once Tor marriage license.
Until recently it was the fashion to ar
range the terms of alliance by verbal
agreement, but the necessity of legitimate
ing the ch1ldren to secure to them property
rights by inheritance is now perceived,
hence record of marriages. The tribes,
however, do not surrender the primitive
custom OF compensating the parents for
the bride. The Indian sutton, as of yore,
must first get the consent of the girl, and
when that preliminary step is taken he is
expected to confer with the parents, who
determine how much shall be paid and
when the payment shall be made. There
is no liked standard of value, but two
ponies, or the equivalent thereofin money,
may be regarded as the compensation in
the best circles of Indian society. A pony
for wife, is not, however, unusual.
