with private dairying, selling the prod

Where fifteen cows or more are kept on
the farm, the hand separator should
be used and the skim milk fed to heif-
er calves or pigs. When private dairy

adopted to save the labor of individual

The Kentucky Court OF Appeals held
in the case OF Waugh VS.. Dignan. that
where the parties to an agreement
have made mistake In reducing theiI
contract to writing. either through a
mistake which is mutual. or through
the mistake of one party. or through
the mistake OF one party which has
been produced by the other, courts OF
equity will correct the writing to con.

in 1880 the south had cne-tifteenth OF
the spindles OF the country: today she
has nearly one-fourth of the whole
number. The south has become a Sc
rious competitor in cotton manufactur-
ing. With the ever-increasing invest
ment of New England as well as south
ern capital, and with the tendency to
improve continually on methods OF
manufacture which she has recently
shown in marked degree. it is difficult
to assign limit to the expansion of the
cotton industry of the south.

a life of debauchery seldom II ever pe-
fore equaled. and further aggravated
by the fact that he absolutely refused
proper surgical or medical treatment
James Berry arrived in Paducah snort
ly before New Years day. He gaineo
great notoriety by his lavish scattering
of money to the deckhands on the boat
when he arrived at the wharf, Inc
people OF the city had heard OF the
millionaire tramp" and when he
registered at the hotel many curious
eyes watched to see what new freak oil
generosity or recklessness he would
display. The man carefully avoided
such people. He commenced drinking
heavily. and only those of the poorer
class with whom he came in contact re-
ceived the benefit of his profligacy. He
was supplied with huge roll of money;
handsome diamonds adorned his shirt
front and hands. He threw money over
bars of the various saloons in town
with an extravaganza which astounded
the beneficiaries. Everybody within
call was welcome to step up to the bar
and drink with him. During his first
night there he went out on the street
and rounded up passers-by as cowboys
round up cattle on the prairie. These
he drove into the nearest saloon, and
throwing handful OF money on the
bar insisted all should stay and drink
1t up"
The next morning he discovered a
number of tramps near the city. He
brought them all into town. where he
fed them with a champagne dinner.
Then he drove them out again to con-
tinue their wanderings, but not until
he had supplied each with a substantial
sum of money His career of dissipa
tion was cut short on the following day.
Early on the morning OF Dec. 81 he was
found lying on the frozen ground along
side small bridge. His left leg, near
the ankle. was terribly crushed and he
was almost frozen. He was taken to
the hospital. but he refused to allow the
surgeons to remove his clothing to
properly diagnose his injuries. With
his trousers rolled up to the knee he
submitted to painful operation. re-
fusing any other opiate than copious
draughts of whisky. He had revolver
in his pocket and threatened to kill
anyone who should attempt to remove
his clothing. None dared to oppose
him until two of his friends-William
Laichinger of Centralia and l.. l. Frantz
of Onarga. Ill.-came to see him.
Laichinger persuaded him to undress.
and those who expected to find untold
wealth in his pockets were disappoint-
ed. He had less than $500 with him.
The manner in which Berry received
his injuries has never been learned. The
police hint at foul play and have been
working along on that line to discover
II possible who his assailants were.
Berry would not talk OF his wander
ings on that night, and little headway
could be made by the police.
A few days before his death Berry
became impressed with the idea that he
was soon to die. He ceased his almost
continual calls for whisky. A serious
ness overcame him. which seemed to
change his entire nature. He became

repentant. He sent for two ministers
OF the gospel and told them he had not
long to live. He asked them to pray for
him, which they did. He was conscious
when he died. and spoke quietly to Mr.
Frantz. who was the only friend Of the
many who professed great friendship
for him TO be at his bedside when the
summons came.

A class in economics in a western
university has just been struggling
with the problem. How would you
spend ten thousand dollars? There
are twenty men and eleven women
in the class, and they named fourteen
different objects of expenditure. Edu-
cation was declared to be the first
purpose of the majority. Real estate
was the most favored investment.
Twelve students wanted TO travel,
seven proposed to spend some money
for books. the same number made an
appropriation for pleasure" and four
were willing to devote share TO
charity" So far as 1t went, 1t was
an instructive exhibition. and the only
thing needed to complete the revela-
ton OF their characters and training
is that the same students should ap-
swer the correlative question. How
would you prefer to earn ten thousand
dollars?

An outgrowth OF one of the psychology

Treatment of Cervera and His Men.

The navy department is showing ev-
cry reasonable courtesy to Admiral Ger
vera and his fellow prisoners, even GO
ing so far as to make money allow
ance for the officers. When they escap-
ed from their ships, most Of them were
forced to jump into the sea. They con-
sequently had little clothing and no
money when captured. They found
their penniless condition embarrassing
when they reached Portsmouth, N. H.,
and undertook to cable to their families
in Spain. Secretary Long issued an Or
der giving the Spanish officers the priv
ilege OF communicating freely with
their relatives and friends in Spain so
long as they do not send contraband in
formation. The navy department is also
answering many inquiries from Spain
about the fate of men who were ON
board the Spanish vessels. Frederick
