every requirement. The sheep can be
shut out of it while grain feed is being
put in, so that it is not necessary to
turn them out of the shed. Little lambs
cannot get into it to soil the feed. Air
circulates beneath it, and tight bot

The first book written apair

The first book written against the
use of tobacco was penned by no less
a character than James I. of England,
who, in 1916, wrote the 'Counterblast
to Tobacco" in which he describes the
use of the weed as 'sa custom loathsome
to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful
to the brain, dangerous to the lungs,
and in the black, sinking fume thereof
nearest resembling the horrible Sly
gian smoke of the pit that is bottoms

sad Case OF Cruelty to Animals

Last week again the Moses OF
Grant county populism re
iterates his determination to for
sake the party Of Mary Lease
and Jerry Simpson. Like a
picked goose, the poor thing is
thrown aside, and this once val
liant pop party that was to drive
plutocracy from the land, purify
politics and establish peace and
plenty, has become SO foul and
corrupt that its former most ar
dent admirers are almost asham-
ed to acknowledge an acquaint-
ance with it, and feel that they
dignity the party by giving it Il
parting kick as they run away
from its putridity To the poor,
simple-minded, honest populist
farmer the thing is inexplicable.
Here he has been voting and con
tending, 10 these many years, for
"pop" men and ''pop princi-
pies as he believed, following
like a docile sheep the bell-weth-
ers of the party, only to find that
the bell-wethers themselves had
suddenly exchanged their outer
garments Of soft populist wool
for the coarse, long hair Of the
plutocratic wolf. The condition
of things as it slowly unfolds it
self Oh his torpid mental vision
causes him to stand aghast. Who
would have for Il moment
thought that Kyle, whom we
have defended through thick and
thin, would have turned his back
upon Us and spat in our face as
he was leaving us! And thou, too,
Volkmar. This is the unklndest
cut Of all to turn around and
sting the breast that has nour-
ished thee How could you woo
me in my prosperity and desert
ne in my necessity. f'olthless
lover, thou hast pulled the rose
and left the thorn " tn me.
Once so fair and love y in thy
sight, but now an outcast, spun
ed, rejected @, Volkmar, IS there
no ply IN thy heart, no tender
memories of the old love, when
together we dreamed dreams and
strolled along IN happy con
fdence under the soft beams OF
! the free silver moon, and you
vowed to love me long and love
me ever: when the offspring CT
our hopes, the referendum and
all the other little endums dane
ed merrily around, and life was
one long round Of happy antlcl-
patton. Oh, tickle man, could
you not see my faults and fail
ings ere love had ripencd into
WifehoOd. And now to leave
me, with none to love or care for
me but Mary Lease and Andy
Lee. Heartless, faithless Volk-
mar, some new charmer in gold
en- tinsel has won your love with
promise Of loaves and fishes.
Goodbye, my lover, goodbye.

Peering about he say his gun also. There was a big hole in the floor of the loft, and just as the man took hold of the dish to eat the chicken "Buck" plunged through the hole and seized his gun. Before they recovered from their astonishment Buck" roared out:
 Madam, you just fiirt the gravel back home, and as for this gentleman, he and Will hirt gravel to the office of the pro- vost marshall. He is the deserter I have been after for week."

ATHLETIC CLUB MEETING.
Officers Were Elected Last Night For the
 Ensuing Year.

The annual meeting of the Birming- ham Athletic club for the elect.on of officers for the ensuing year was held last night in the reading rooms of ths club.
 The following officers were elscted: Solon Jacobs, president; J. Preston Means, vice -presid ant; Ernst Redd, sec retary and treasurer, and J. F. Fletcher, Jr., captain of gymnasium.
 The board of governors consists of Solon Jacobs, president; J. F. Fletcher, Jr., S. B. Jones, J. D. Kirkpatrick, J. J. Smith, H. E. Stout and E. T. Wilcox.
 Exports of the retiring officers showed that the club was in a better condition financially and in membership than it has been in years.
 Preparations are we'll under way for the annual fall exhibition of the club. It will be given at an early date and from the interest shown in the practice work, it will be fully equal to any of those given in previous years.

A medium clothes brush will ke=p the or dinary garments of civilization in due condition, a soft or hat brush being used for the s,lloen Things and velvet collar when such belongs to the coat. For rough shooting suits or uniforms a stiff short-brstled brush is need sd; and these clothes should be brushed out as soon as the mud is dry and before it has time to sink into the material.
 Remember punctuality. Bring the things required to the minute, absolutely ready for use. More tempers have been spolt for the day by shaving water which (though supposed ito be bolling) needed at least ten minutes patience to bring it to the right temperature, than by temptations far more apparently inn portanIt and irresistible. See that the pincushion is duly supplied with the proper kind of pins (almost every man has his special fad dn this matter, by the way); that the shaving cloths, or papers are in readiness. that the hot wa ter for washing Is sufficient in quantity and at the right tsmperature; that the soap dish is properly rep1enished; last, but not least, remember the motto, "a stitch in time saves nine.'

BASE BALL.
Poor Exhibition Game


 Springfield, Mass, Oct. s.-Three thou sand people saw the Boston and Balti- more national league teams play an ex- hibition game at Hampden park this af- ternoon, which resulted in an easily won victory for Baltimore. Klobedanz's poor work in the third inning was largely re- sponsible for Boston's defeat. He was wild and was batted hard when he managed to get them over. The game was well played and full of snap and ginger, although none of the players exerted themselves at any time. When Doyle first came to the bat he was pre- sented with handsome watch chain and charm by his fellow townsmen from Holyoke. Score:
