That the force of men at the Be-

shown by the fact that up until noon
yesterday only six heats had been
made, while in that time, with the old

In every section of this country there is
more or less land lying idle and bringing the
owner but little in the way of revenue. AS
the country gradually becomes more thick
ly settled, taxes on real estate grow high
er and the burden from carrying unproduc-
ing or waste land more irksome. 1t is good
business to make every foot of land yield
something to help bear it's share of the ex-
penses of the farm. This may be done in
several ways. That land which is too wet
for the pillow may be ditched or tile drained,
and thus be brought under cultivation and
production. A more difficult task will be-
encountered, however, in clearing up tim
ber-land, in removing trees, stumps, grubs,
etc, etc. For this purpose several machines
have been put upon the market, but none
are better than that made by the Milne
Manufacturing Co., 743 Eighth St., Mon
mouth, ILL.,, thoroughly responsible firm,
whose advertisement appears in this paper.
They manufacture the Hawkeye Grub and
Stump machine in several sizes, and guar
antee it to pull stumps or grubs, and to pull
up trees of ordinary size This machine I'M
like others, does not need to be moved for
every stump, but will clear out circle Of
two acres at one sitting. Write this firm

HALF CAT, HALF RABBIT.
Odd Freak Owned by New Jersey Bar
room Keeper.


room Keeper.
Nature cuts many queer capers but no
more strange example of her oddities
can be seen in this section than a pet
which is owned by barroom keeper in
Lambertville, N. j., says an exchange.
The animal is half cat and half rabbit
and has some of the habits and nature
of both animals, while it's anatomy con-
sists of a peculiar commingling of each.
The freak from it's head to the middle
Of its body looks like an ordinary kitten,
the head and front paws being perfect
ly formed. The headquarters of the
animal are those of a rabbit, with a
typical cotton tail" The front feet
are armed with sharp, curling claws,
while the hind feet are equipped with
long, straight claws for use in running.
The fur is white, gray, black and yell
low, in spots, and in quality is in places
soft, in others harsh.
TO see it run one would think it rab-
bit, except for it's short ears. When not
IN motion it squats on it's hind legs just
as a RABBIT does and if piece of cab
bage or apple be given it it will take
it in its front paws and nibble it con-
tentedly. This strange animal, if dis
turbed or maddened, evinces at times all
the nature of a cat, while again it will
run away and hide behind any object of
shelter. 1t is now about three months

per annum, and, as is usually the
case, their attacks upon the high
way were not vicious or prolonged.
They had short hours for work and long
ones for dinner, and generally went
home at night feeling that they had
lad very pleasant peaceable day.
One noon-time Baker and Barker
were taking their luncheon in the
shade, by the side of an exaggerated
creek, which flowed along toward its
foster-parent, the river, as lazily as if
it, too, were working on the road.
There were five or six fellow-toilers in
the same little grove; and some of them
took good nap after eating, so as to I've
able afterwards to precipitate them
selves upon the unmended thorough
fare in a way that it would recollect
during the residue Of the season.
Near where they ate and slumbered,
a large, long log officiated as foot
bridge across the creek. A slight
breeze was tiptoeing down the stream,
and Baker lay upon the log and en-
joyed it. He finally fell asleep there,
and woke the other toilers with hoarse
and rough-hewed notes from his vari-
Gus respiratory organs.
The disturbed road-menders lay upon
their elbows and gazed at him and each
other. He was long, large, not-par-
ticularly-clean man, and looked very
suggestive and tempting as he lay there

TREATMENT OF FELoNS.
Simple Means of Relief for Painful Attic

Simple Means of Relief for Painful Attic
Felons occur frequently on the last
Joint OF the fingers or thumb of the
right hand. They are localized acute
infiammations, resulting from the pres
ence beneath the skin of certain poi
sonous organisms which have gained
admission through wound. This
wound is very likely scratch or
prick so slight and Insignificant that
one cannot remember having re-
ceived it.
The first thing that attracts ones at
tention is small Redeemed and swollen
spot. which is painful when touched.
In the beginning the Inflammation is
just beneath the skin, but if not inter-
fered with, it frequently works its way
deep down below the surface, and bur-
rows along the bone or tendons of the
finger.
The superficial felon is the less pain
full. This is located, as rule, around
and under the finger nail. 1t may ap-
pear c n one or more fingers at the same
time or in succession, particularly if
the bodily system is debilitated. The
inflammation may be slight and subside
quickly, but frequently it is more or
less severe and results in the forma-
ton of a small abscess
In the case of enfee bied persons the
inflammation may cause considerable
swelling and intense pain, and result
in the loss of part or the whole of the
finger nail.
The deep felon usually starts on the
under side of the finger. Within day
or two the finger becomes painful,
tense, hot and throbbing. The pain
and tension rapidly increase, especially
when the hand hangs at the side, and
the suffering continues without abate-
and its contents have discharged
through an opening in the skin.
For superficial felon nothing is
usually required but rest of the affected
part, and cold application. If an alb
scess has formed, however, hot appli-
cations should be applied and the pus
completely removed. The application
of the tincture of iodine, carbolic acid,
or blister affords little or no relief.

alton of an abscess is almost certain,
and therefore hot applications or poul-
tees should be employed from the be-
ginning.
If at the end of two or three days
there is no marked relief the abscess
should be opened. The incision should
be deep enough to insure the complete
evacuation of the contents of the alb
scess. Immediate relief from all suf-
fering follows the emptying of the b.
scess, and the wound quickly heals if
care is taken to keep it absolutely
clean.-Youth's Companion.

A STILL WHITE FACE.

A still white face In calmness rests,
Upturned from pillow gently set,
Closed eyelds shutting out the light
From life; eyelids that once were wet
With tears of sadness, pain and grief.
With light of gladness, JOY and bliss;
Unbidden tears, their fount o'erfull
OF waves Of sorrow, checked by kiss.
OF tender love and kindly word,
BY voice Of sympathy low heard.
A still white face. All. that is all
Now left to look upon. at last,
No speech, no smile. no answering sign,
No recognition of the past:
No pressure from the folded hands,
No open ear to list the knell.
Which comes when grieving souls must
say:
Dear still white face. Farewell. fare
well,"
Dear pulseless heart, dear sightless eye
Dear loved and loving one. "Good-by.
Tears fall upon the still white face
Like springing showers of summer rain
But wake not response, as once,
When teardrops soothed and softened
pain.
Dear still white face. my soul. though mute
Pleads earnestly with thee to tell
In answer: us II well with thee
In thy life?" Say: us it WELL
Dear still white face, speak but one
word:
Is 1t well?" but no response is heard
IT'S mine to look, and list, and pray
That still white face once more to see,
When l, in turn, alone must go
Forever out, my guide to be:
When l shall trace the dreary path
That all in time must sure tread,
When mine shall be still white face,
Numbered with thine, among the dead.
Then still white face, come back and
wait
My passing through lifes closing gate.

the day. Just as Baker had ceased
snoring, and showed signs of awaking,
he crept to the side of his comrade,
gave him slight impulse creekward,
and lodged back. The result was that
Baker went stomach-long into the wa
ter, and awoke dreaming that he had
enlisted in Pharaoh's army, and that
il was just attempting to ford the Red
sea.
After our victim had fioundered his
way clear of the disturbed stream, he
went straight to the village and sued
Barker for assault. The case was called
next day and all the farmers were pres
ent. having left the road to its fate for

was tried was the most ingenious prac-

Republicans to Organize
Committees.

Washington, March 1.-THE Re
publican senate steering committee
met this afternoon for the purpose of
coming to some conclusion if posi-
bic on the questions pertaining to the
organization of the committees
More than two hours were consumed
in the discussion. but 20 plan was
agreed upon.
The informal talk disclosed the fact
that the situation had been cautions
ly discussed with leading Democrats
By individual members of the con-
mite, from which the positive con-
viction was reached that there would
be formed no effectual combination
that could take the organization Of
the committees from the Republicans
1t is the impression that Immediately
after the extra session convenes the
committee vacancies will be filled in
accordance with the existing order Of
things and that this will be accom-.
pl;shed without material opposition.
