An intelligent farmer has discovered
that by planting onions and potatoes
in the same field in alternate rows, the
onions become so strong that they
bring tears to the eyes OF the pota-
toes in such volumes that the roots
are kept moist and a big crop is rails

1t Caught the Congregation.

How to interest and hold the atten-
ton of an audience is often source of
much work and thought, but the fol-
lowing incident astonished me by its
power and effectiveness: The majority
of those who worship in my congrega-
tion are as attentive as any audience
in the west. Indeed think they are
exceptional in this respect.
One Sunday morning / preached a
sermon on ''The Good Fight of Faith. ="
As got warmed up my hands kept
pace with my tongue. The attention
was far beyond the ordinary. Every
eye in the house was fixed on the
preacher from start to finish. And l.
please do not accuse me of vanity
thought, 'Surely the sermon is a good
one. or it has struck the right chord. !"
And felt splendid.
The>service closed, and the audience
was dismissed. As ! went down from
the pulpit brother whispered few
words to me; then another. One lady
invited me to her house as soon as 1
could get away. A dozen or more re-
peated the first brothers. words. The
exceptional interest in that sermon was
due to the fact that the seam in the arm
of my coat had parted, revealing a star
thing fash of whiteness at every gesture.

choosing a wife For Her Teeth.

One of the most curious and interest
ing of bridal customs among the Eski-
mos is the practice of choosing bride,
not for her face, her figure or her for
tune. but for the excellence and strength
of her teeth.
Up in the polar circle, where mans
blood freezes and parts of him drop off
at the touch of the icy blast, it is a
difficult matter to keep the untanned
skins from hardening and cracking.
There is only one process known to the
Eskimo, that of chewing. 1t is neces-
sary to perform this operation every
two or three months, and it is part Of
the wives duties. 1t is for that reason
that an Eskimo selects his future help
mates for the size of their teeth and the
strength of their jaws. OF course one
wife cannot attend to all the skins, and
so sometimes an Eskimo has as many
as ten loving helpmates
Wives are bought. sold and ex-
changed among the Eskimos. The price
fuctuates like that of wheat or corn or
stocks on Wall street. A father with a
growing daughter will be approached
by a neighbor and offered one, two or
three dogs for her, according to her
maxillary powers. Sometimes a blue
foxskin or a dozen strips of blubber
may enter into the bargain, but dogs
are generally the factor used. San

FIFER THE CHOICE.

state Commerce Commissioner.
Washington, Nov. 3.-Joseph w. FL
fer, ex-governor of Illinois, will sue
coed w. j. Calhoun as membr of the
interstate commerce commission. This
information was secured from source
which practically gives it the authority
of an official statement.
When Mr.. Calhoun rendered his res
ignation several months ago in order
to devote his entire attention to lu-
crative private law practice it was
virtually conceded that his successor
would come from his home state Of
Illinois. The position of interstate
commerce commissioner is one of the
most responsible as well as desira-
BILE at the gift of the national admins
tration, and when Mr.. Calhoun's re-
tirement was announced those men,
toned to succeed him included nearly
every man of prominence in Illinois
who was deemed qualified for the du-
ties of the office and also willing to ac-
cept it. The reported decision to APP
point Mr.. Fifer will therefore be pecu-
narly gratifying to his friends.

which fit together as telescope. A
slight defamation, followed by puff
of smoke, accompanied her cautious
attempt to open the package, which
was promptly turned over to the po-
lice. In the afternoon a long rope was
attached to the machine, by means of
which the drawer was forced open
from a distance. This resulted in an
explosion of such violence as to be
heard three miles away. 1t shook the
buildings for several blocks. Certain
persons are suspected of sending the
internal machine, but no reasonable
motive for. the deed has yet been sug-
gested.

husband is charged with assault with
intent to commit murder.
1t is believed here that Hoot is in
Chicago and that he will be captured.
1t is learned to-day that Hoot has been
on friendly terms with young woman
in Chicago, who is known by her init
mates by the appellation Of Tab"
which was the name signed to the note
received by Mrs. Hoot before the pack
age was delivered. The officers say it
was apparently the plan of the sender.
to cast suspicion on this young woman.
The letter and the package were both
addressed to "Mr. Jerome w. Hoot,"
and they say this was part of the
scheme. The young woman known as
'Tab" formerly lived here, but has
been in Chicago some time.

at is certainly true that the doctrines
of property which / hold are sub
versive of the existing industrial and

system of private ownership of natural
resources is a crime against God and
man and nature; that natural resources
are not property, and cannot be so held
without destroying the liberty Of man
and the basis Of the religion of Christ.
Educational institutions, as now or
ganized and supported, dependent as
they are on gifts of money from the
existing social order, afford no place
