in Indianapolis meeting a farmer who

if they had had much rain down on the
Wabash that spring.

My wheat is looking pretty well, but
the sturgeon and catfish have damaged
it considerably. There was about is
minutes sunshine one day, and 1
thought I woald plant my potatoes, so
I loaded them on scow and anchored
the scow in three feet of water, when it
began to rain again.
"'I wanted to 90 down on the bottom

Indian Agent Hayes has dispensed

cases they, as teachers, had to trade
out their pay certificates in the
agents store. The other Indians
had to do the same thing, it is
stated.

Sorghum for Stock.

Any soil that will grow good
crop of corn is suitable for sorghum
and without any special fertilizer
This crop is fast becoming popular in
sections where droughts are common
and more or less prolonged. 1t is
used for hog and general stock
pasturing and the stalks are fed in
winter with good results. The best
results are usually obtained if the
plsnt is grown in drills three feet
apart but thick in the row, requir-
ing from six to eight quarts Of seed
per acre For stock food the Early
Orange is preferred owing to the
size and strength of the canes The
great value of sorghum is shown in
times of drought when it retains all
its green and fresh look even when
corn and grass are burned yellow
1t may be cut and fed in the pasture
at suct times with good results The
yield of seed is frequently more than
so bushels per acre and the kernels
are eaten readily by all stock. Hogs
thrive on the heavy stalks which
they break and strip "a getting to

dition in which it makes good bed

How the Dogs Mistress Retained Her

When Mrs. Marie Nevins Blaine was
married to DR.. ". T. Bull, her pet
spaniel, Lion, was banished. After the
couple had been married a year Mrs
Bull persuaded her husband to let Lion
return for week, promising to keep
him in the stable.
Three days of Lions visit had passed
when as DR.. Bull was taking off his
overcoat in his Office there came rap at
the inner door. 1t was so faint that at
first he did not notice it. Then when it
was repeated he said, "Come ia." No
one came, but the rapping went on. He
opened the door, and there stood Lion.
He had been knocking the door with
little wooden box he held in his mouth,
addressed to Dr.. Bull. The doctor took
the box, and Lion, too polite to intrude,
turned and walked in dignifed man

the box and read the tiny note contain

Washington, Jan. 15.-Seuor
Felipe Agoucillo, the representative
of Gen Agu1naldo in Washington,
has fled with the state department a
memorandum setting forth at length
the reasons for his claim that the
Philippine government should be
recognized by the United States
Accompanying the memorandum
is letter in which Senor Agouciilo
states he las received no reply to his
communication of Jan.6, in which he
asks that a suitable time be arranged
when he could be presented to the
president and heard upon his claims.
In view of the position in which the
representatives of the American gov
e.nment and the representatives of
the Philippine government find them
selves upon the islands ct this time,
he. urges that the matter be given
immediate attention.
The letter and the memorandum
have been listed as official documents
in the state department, and although
the officials themselves have refused
TO make them public. they have
nevertheless expressed willingness
for Senior Agoncillo to do SO if he
wishes. The papers are now in the

orandum is along the same lines as
