 MT. Louis Hobson returned to his home in Mesa yesterday. He has been absent from home nearly two years laboring as missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the state of Louisiana. Mir. Hobson recounts some hard experiences the Mormon elders have had to endure in that state. The season last sum- mer was very unhealthy, and all of the elders, but four, were moved from that state during the sickly season. Mir. Hobson was one of the number that remained and was appointed president of the conference. During the summer they encountered some severe persecu- tion. barely escaping at one time whisky-laden mob. which was bent on ridding the sacred precincts of the county of Mormon elders. MT. Hobson is in good health and is pleased to be home once more.

Whit lie Did Object To.

The author of "Kinys of the Hunt,
ing Field says that at q certain Eng
lish church many years ago, while the
clergyman was reading prayers, a maj
walked in, shouted 'I've got 'un!'' and
Immediately withdrew. He had sounded
a well known call. Every farmer and
laborer who possessed a gnn soon fol-
lowed him and in an hour or two
brought to the village inn the fox they
had shot.
Spirituality was in those days at a
very low ebb. and some clergymen
cared more for sport than for lle exam
pie they set to their focks. Bishops
tried to discountenance hunting as a
clerical pastime, but the law did not
enable them to remove the offenders
from their Iivings. DR.. P%hillpotts,
bishop OF Exeter, who called to account
several sporting c%lergynlen in his do
cese, met n Of them at a friends
house.
81 am told, my lord. that you object
to my hunting said the clergyman.
"Dear me. who could have told you
answered the bishop. "What l
object to is that you should ever do
anything else"

Ma king Steel Pens.

Briefly described. steel pens are made
as follows: First the steel is rolled into
big sheets and, then cut into strips
about three inches in width. The strips
are heated to a bright red and are then
allowed to cool gradually. which TEN.
pers them. They are next rolled to the
necessary thinness and are cut into
blank fiat pens, and the pens, while
fiat, are usually stamped with the
brand or the nance Of the manufacturer.
To shape the pens is the next process.
The rounding makes them hold the ink
and distribute it more evenly than
could be done IL they We're fiat. To
harden them they are heated to a cher
ry red and then suddenly cooled. This
not only hardens them, bat makes them
elastic. The polishing, pointing and
finishing come next, and then they are
ready for use. The little holes in the
pens at the end Of the Sits serve to
make them more elastic and to facili-
tate the flow of the ink.
1t is said that more steel is now used
in the manufacture Of pens than in
that Of sword. 1t is even claimed that
the metal annually used in their manu.
facture weighs more than all the metal
used in the manufacture Of war imple-
ments. Detroit Free Press.

Too Much Hired Man.

They were telling political stories in

Hart was or t:.a stump for Foraker

rural districts, One afternoon he tao
killed. Il lot of Medina equity farmers
and opened upon them in his usual way.
"Friends,' he said, II know yon are

toilcrs, Yon are not to he moved by
sophistry or foolish decCptions. | have
only to look around me to assure myself
that You know a good thing when you
see it. Now, let us suppose one of you
farmers has II hired man. You may feel
a little doubt of him at the outset, but
you give him a fair trial, You like him
so well that you keep him another year.
And he serves You in a way that in
sures his re- engagement for still anoth-
er year and then another, Isn't that a
good business principle?'
Mr.. Hart paused and smiled down at
his listeners. Before he could resume,
however, a shrill voice from the middle
of the crowd interrupted him.
Say" said the voice, chow is it
when the hired man gets to thinkin he
owns the hull darned farm?'
1t took the wind all out of Mr.. Hart,
as he himself afterward admitted

A Strange Coincidence In the Life Of
a Fireman
"Soon after l entered the fire depart.
ment,' remarked a hostler of the city
fire department, lit was my hard luck
in responding to an alarm to run ovel
and terribly injure a small boy, who
was playing in the street. 1t was an
unavoidable accident, but just the same
it had its effect upon me, and for a
time it preyed heavily on my mind ana
probably would have done so until to.
day had it not been for the sequel.
which righted mp matters somewhat.
81 kept myself pretty well Informed
as to the condition of the boy, and was
extremely happy when | saw him On
the streets again and to all appearances
fully recovered from the injury which !
had inflicted upon him. Well, time
passed along, and. the boys family hav-
ing moved from the house where he re.
sided and where we took him after the
injury, for awhile | did not see him,
though l occasionally heard from him.
"One rather rough night about q
year afterward our company responded
to an alarm in the northwestern part of
the city. On arriving at the fire l was
sent to one Of the upper ooms of the
burning building to rescue some chill
dren who were in the room and who
were terribly frightened, as they had
good reasons to be. for they were in
considerable danger. There was a light
burning in the room, and the moment
l entered it l recognized the little fell
low that ! had driven over and injured.
II there ever was a little fellow who
was carefully wrapped mp in bedclothes
and with his little sister taken down
stairs and to a place Of safety, you can
bet it was that boy and girl. The same
look of fright was upon his face, which
I had not forgotten, but | don't think
my face looked as bad as when l had
picked him up in my arms before. !
was supremely happy in being able to
return some good for the i'll I had done

The work of the strawberry leaf roller
insect was very noticeable in Kansas
strawberry patches during the past
summer. Quite often the patches had
the appearance Of having been scorched
in spots by fire. In Kansas there appear
to be three distinct broods during one
season, each succeeding brood becom-
ing more numerous and consequently
more destructive. On June. IA the first
brood of adults commenced to appear.
Paris green applied to the infested
plants at the first appearance of the
worms would be very effective. TO de-
termine the earliest appearance Of the
worms necessitates a very close watch
ing on the part of the fruit growe-.
After the crop is gathered, NOW the
beds and collect and burn the leaves.
Do not purchase plants from infested
patches. Where new beds are to be
started pillow under the old ones; for by
this means many Of the insects will be
buried and destroyed, says Percy J.
Parrot of the state station.
