LURAY, Russell Co., Kan, Jan. Il.
Editor Mail and Breeze:
DEAR SIR.-I saw your offer of S.. 90
for the first woman who would tell
about proposing marriage to her hus-
band. l want to earn the money and
my husband says he don't care. Me
and Randolph had kept company for
a long time, and he got to be my
steady company. He never said any
thing about love, but knew he loved
me. for pa and ma kept teasing me
about my beau and how gone he was.
Ma said he was too scarf to pop the
the question and whenever we would
come in from anywhere ma would say:
"Well, has he done it?' / got awful
tired of this joking all the time and
made up my make Randolph do some
thing. On Christmas eve two years
ago he took me to Russell to Sunday
school Christmas tree. / said to my
self, now / will have it out with him.
But / couldn't think what to say un
til we was on the way home. We had
beenSStill for more than mile when
/ up and said: Randolph, when are
we going to get married." / believe
he like to fell out of the blackboard
He didn't say word until he kissed
me and commenced to talk about all
sorts of foolish things. When we got
home he came in to warm before going
over to his house and mother was up
yet. / said to her: 'Ma we are going
to get married on Washington's birth
day" | just happened to think of
that time, but Randolph hadn't said
word. not because he didn't like it
but because he was bashful. Ma kissed
us both and then Randolph commenc-
ed to laugh and carry on like every
thing, he was so happy.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l have told you
how proposed to my husband, and if
[ win the prize please send it to
Mrs. MARTHA BAILEY.
Luray, Kan.
p. S.-We have baby nearly year
old and Randolph says he is going to
take him to the Lincoln county fair
next fall and win first prize.

we want, and their kindness in fur

| If young man should be driving along,

Now wouldn't it looked better to have called
the boy to sight,
And talked to him manly about the wrong

For our own houses may possibly be of glass,
| So we shouldn't throw stones at the outside

The Crop Destroying Hot Winds Their
Causes and the Remedy Suggested They
Must Of Necessity be General.
| The following report is given lit
tie late to be of much benefit but
our readers may determine from it
about how much confidence can be
placed in weather representations.
A portion of the report is of interest
and is worthy of careful perusal:
The storm waves will reach this
meridian and the other changes will
occur at and within 100 miles of Kan
SaS City within tMenty-fOur hours of
8 d. m of the dates given below:
| J0nuaKY 19-MOderatinQ.
January 9o-Warmer.
| January 21-Threatening.
January 22-Cangeable.
| January 23-Cooler.
January A-Cold.
January 25-Moderaeing.
ST. Joseph, Mo-, Jan. 1S.-My last
bulletin gave forecasts of the storm
wave to cross the continent from the
10Th to the 23rd, and the next will
reach the Pacific coast about the 9th,
cross the west of Rockies country by
the close Of the 25th, the great Cen
trail valleys from the 18th to the 28th,
and the Eastern states on the 9th.
| With the close of this disturbance
! the cold part of January will have
passed, the last part of the month and
the first week in February being deS-
| ignated in the forecasts as warm
period.
! The warm wave will cross the west
of Rockies country about the 24th,
the great Central valleys on the 26th,
and the Eastern states on the 18th.
The cool wave will cross the west of
Rockies country about the 9th, the
great Central Valleys on the 18th,
and the Eastern states on the 31st.
AS an average of the whole country
this disturbance will bring less rain
and snow than the preceding storms
of the month, and the first disturb
ance of February will be of the dry
kind.
Readers may have overlooked the
significance of the terms cool wave
and cold wave, as used in these bulle-
tins. In the winter months the
former is used for the warmeSt part
of the months and the latter term for
the coolest part. All close observers
have noticed that the cool or cold part
of the month continues, not always.
but usually from ten TO fourteen days,
and then is succeeded by a warmer
period OF similar duration. / use the
term cool wave to designate those
periods that average warm for about
two weeks and cold wave for the cor
responding cold part OF the month.
These periods do not run by months,
and the warm period may cover parts
OF two months. Is will be the case

Food Value of Potatoes.

The average composition Of twenty
samples Of potatoes raised in different
parts Of Minnesota on different soils
and of different varieties, examined
by Harry Snyder, of the Minnesota
experimental station, show them to
be composed of three-quarters water
and one-quarter Of other compounds,
RS ash, fat, fiber, malic acid, etc. A
late variety in a long growing season
and on NJ impoverished soil will de-
velop a larger amount Of starch and
jelly compounds and be very poor in
bone and muscle forming substances.
For feeding purposes, the earlier va
rieties are preferable as they contain
less starch and more material for bone
and muscle making. They r a food
rich in starch and when fed alone are
incapable Of supplying all Of the
wants of the body, but when fed with
grain or some of the milled products
like oil meals, pea meal, shorts, beans,
or good wheat screenings, they are a
very valuable food for fattening pur-
poses. The station fed 31-2 pounds
shorts and 10 pounds potatoes per day
for A days to two pigs, each weigh
ing 10 pounds; the gain was so
pounds. or 1 IA pounds per day..

An Electric Ship.

A bill has been introduced into con-
gress authorizing the secretary of the
navy to construct cruisers after the
Painton design. Placing the present
propulsion efficiency Of ships at IS per
cent, Mr.. Painton claims, by the COM
bination of steam and electrical ma
chinery, to ecu an efficiency about
four times greater than that of steam
engines applying their power without
the intermediary of dynamos and
motors. The inventor promises that
with this system he can develop a
speed Of forty miles an hour in an
ordinary passenger ship, and thirty
five knots an hour in a naval ship,
under the usual conditions of sea and
wind. The vessel is to have fourteen
screw %propellers arranged along each
side, each to be independently Ope-
rated from q switchboard. There are

that with this system 1880 revolt
lions have been reached, and that
800 can be depended upon in service.
The inventor says that he can reduce
the loss attending transmission Of
power in a 10000 horsepower ship
from 6,GOO to 1900 horsepower. Each
propeller is to be worked by a sep
arate motor, the common current be-
ing generated by a central plant. MI
Painton states that this system will
enable a ships speed to be increased,
say from twenty to forty knots an
