piled with great enthusiasm that the
souR -3yas '.just right" and. to prove
that he meant it, he consumed his entire
portion. Then he leaned back and
looked inquiringly ct his nephew Will
lie. who had been scolded twice already
for whistling at the table.
Unele Jim winkcd and little Willie be
gan to enicker.
Willie-I did.
Cncle Jim-Did you?
Willie-Yes; and you ought to have
heard Ed Mccarthy laugh.
Uncle Jim-What did the teacher do?
Willie-Oh, she didn't do much. It
made her kind o. mad, / guess. She
said: 'Iu declare. Willie Skinner,
you're one OF the worst boys in the
school"
Mrs. Skinner-What's this all about?
Willie-Aw, it amt much. Uncle Jim
taught me to speak = piece that he
used to speak when be was kid.
Mrs. Skinner-When he was boy.
Uncle Jim Its good piece, isn't it.

Mrs. Skinner-Janes, it sounds aw-
ful to call little boy by such name rs

Willie-Aw, It was just q piece.
Uncle Jim--You must remember It.
It's about the captains daughter. 1--WE
were crowded in the cabin" and so on.
Mrs Skinne-Yes. OF course. Did
you teach it to Willie?
Uncle Jim--You ought to hear him.
Go on and speak it for them, Bill.
Willie-Aw, don't want to now.
Uncle Jim-Go on. TIL bet your

We take this precaution, and our cot

The benefits Of our last years pea fields
will be seen this year, in the increased

Texas Fever at the Missouri EzDGaDsat
0satIoa.
Elaborate experiments on Texas
fever have been conducted at Columbia
during the past year by the Missouri
experiment station and the state board
Of agriculture, cooperating with the
Texas experiment station. Bulletin
No. 81 by DR.. J. w. Connaway, just il
sued, reports the results Of these tests.
It was clearly demonstrated that the
Texas tick IL the natural means Of COM
municating the disease from one AMI
NAL to another. Ticks Matched in the
laboratory when put on Missouri Short
horn cows in lots free from any posst-
BILE infection, produced fatal cases OF
Texas fever In every instance within
from Is to Is days after the young ticks
were placed ON the animal.
The Texas station dipped . car load
Of Texan cattle, all of which were COW
cred with the Texas fever tick, and
shipped the dipped cattle 70 the Mis-
souri, authorities.
These cattle were dipped in West
Virginia mineral oil ut = cost of less
than five cents per head. The Missouri
station confined these dipped Texan
cattle in . small lot with . number Of
Shorthorn cows from the 18th Of AM
gust until the list Of November, and
made careful daily observations and
temperature records with the result
that NO Texas fever was communicated.
If subsequent experiments confirm
these results the dipping process
will be entirely practicable and
feasible, and can be easily and
cheaply done on . commercial scale.
and would enable the farmers Of the
Mississippi valley 70 purchase and
bring to their farms with perfect safe

range cattle to eat their surplus corn
and grass.
An attempt wss made to inoculate
cattle 80 that they would b proof
against this disease. with very promis-
in9 results These results are also In
. measure confirmed by experiments
that DR.. Connaway has just concluded
IN Mississippi, On . chr load Of dairy
cattle shipped there from Kansas.
Twelve Of these cattle had died Of
Texas fever before the animals were
injected; none died a1terward-
The method Is neither expensive nor

inasmuch - these animals may then be
shipped to these states with entire

and observations on the habits and

which led to . number Of important
practical conclusions in regard to the

CitiAsns Attention.

These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
IN the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of a return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out.
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens--
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa-
looms.
