Andrew Mack has personality sufh-
GENTLY winning TO make you overlook
any tiresOme absurdities of conduct,
and Ramsey Morris has that degree
of intelligence and artistic sense which
enables him to tone down melOdramatic

UNPOPULAR TANNER.
Illinois Governor Tries to Ex-
plain His Action in Regard
to Nashville.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 9.-Gov. John r.
Tanner of Illinois arrived here yester-
day with a party of friends in special
car.
The party consists of Gov. Tanner
and wife, Col. I. L. Elwood and wife.
Col. ]. W. Gates and wife and Col John
Drake and wife.
The declared purpose of the govern
or visit to Colorado is to view the
mountains and to visit some of the i'm
portant mining districts of Colorado.
Gov. Tanner was most eXuberant in his
conversation concerning the evidences
or prosperity which he says he noticed
along the route to Denver and was
more than willing to talk on the out
look for the future, but when the sub
ject of his engagement to visit the
Nashville exhibition was brOached, his
manner underwent a decided change.
He lays the blame for the failure Of
the trip to Nashville on the members
of his staff He says he expected some
people in Illinois would have something
to say about the failure to keep his en-
gagement and he wa ready for rumors
and reports of -. -fnds.
The facts, as stated by Gov. Tanner,
are that he didn't run away from Chi
cago to break up the Nashville trip,
and, what is more. that he never re
fused to go.
He says he was pleased when the trip
was proposed, and worked to make it
a success, and that it was no fault OF
his that the trip was not carried out
according to programme.
He says, when it was proposed to
take a regiment of the Illinois guard to
the exposition, there was much enthu-
siaSm among the officers of his staff
but since the yellow fever broke 0 q in
the south, there has been a change OF
sentiment.
The members of his staff, the gov
ernOr declares, are all business men
and cannot spare much time away from
home. Several of them notified Gov.
Tanner they were afraid to go to Nash
Vile, fearing they would be quarantin-
ed in the event Of an outbreak of the
disease.
They admitted that there was small
chance of the quarantine being used
in their case, but still there was pos
sibility of such a thing happening, and
the members of his staff declined to
take the chances.
I did not care to go without my
staff concluded the governor with an
attempt at a smile, and that is all
there is to it.

UNDER WATER TWO HOURS
Successful Test of a New Submarine
Boat at Baltimore.

Baltimore, Oct. "a private trial of
the submarine boat Argonaut has been
had in the dry dock of the Columbia Iron
Works. the result of which is said to
have been highly satisfactory to her in
ventor and owners.
She was submerged in twenty-one feet
of water, remaining under the surface for
two hours, during which time constant
communication was kept up with those
who were in her cabin and engine rooms
by means of a rubber tube.
Many tests of her engines were made,
and while the trial was merely prelimin-
airy, the inventor says that enough
was learned to make it certain that the
boat will be able to perform the work for
which she is designed.

REQUIRES JUDGMENT.
Starting n Herd of Thoroughly IN
n Serious Undertaking..

Starting n Herd of ThOrOughbredsI IN
n Serious Undertaking.
We have received numerous inquiries
from young breeders throughout the
country of late, asking our advice as to
bred swine business, and how they shall
go about it to build up herd. This
is a subject upon which we do not wish
to give advice, says the Prairie Farmer,
for the reason that very much of the
success of the swine breeding business
depends upon the adaptability of the
breeder to the business. Where one
breeder will succeed and make money
out of the business, another, under like
conditions, will totally fail, and this is,
perhaps, wholly due to the want of
his liking to the business or his judg-
ment in carrying on the business.
We do not know of any time in the.
history of pure-bred swine breeding
when there was so favorable an oppor-
tunity for young men to work into the
business. But it must be done in a
careful, judicious way, and expansion
must come with maturing judgment.
There is a constantly increasing de-
mand for the best sort of pigs that ex-
perienced breeders can raise, and we
think that the demand for them will
not decrease for many years to come.
Our first advice would be to all who
wish to enter the business to post them
selves up well as to details-not only
as to the proper handling and manage
ment of the old and the young stock,
but as to the breeding of popular fam
lilies and getting them into line with
such stuff as there will likely be de-
mand for.
There would be just as much reason
in manufactures loading up his ware
house with lot of goods for which he
anticipates a demand after awhile, but
for which there was no present call, as
there is for a breeder to raise uncalled
for stuff. breeder must produce Just
such things as the buyer wants, and if
the taste of the buyer changes year after
year the breeder must change with him.
1t is all right in sentiment to educate
the buyers up to what you have to SELL
if you can do it, but many have found
this process uphill work.

Product of Poor Farming.

We generally think that the wide
awake and up-to-date farmer has the
advantage in everything. He generally
has, but the old saying that no rule is
without its exception holds good here.
The farmer who keeps the best hogs
cannot grow good quality of bristles.
If he has one of the hairy breeds that
show strong vitality the bristles from
two or three-year-old boar may be
worth keeping as bristles. But they
will be far inferior to bristles from the
wild hog as it ranges the forests of
continental Europe. The best brands
of bristles have always come, and prob
ably will continue to do so, from Rus
STA. They are very stiff, and not even
the bristles from the wild hog as il
runs in southern woods are as good.
Probably our southern wild pigs are
mostly killed before they have attained
age enough to have their bristles ma
ture.-American Cultivator.
