He has had a nose put on him. and Dr. j.
Il. Thoren, Of the county hospital, is the
man who put ii on. Herman has never been
called a chicken-hearted young man by his
friends. but now he cannot deny that he is
chlcken-nosed. 1t was a chicken that fur

boscis was made Cacking and suffering,
a healthy young hen gave up its innocent
life that a nose might be made of it. Though
the chicken has departed and the part of 1t

NATIONAL FARMERS PARTY.
Illinois AgricuIturists Want "a New
Political Organization.

AVON. ILL.,, Jan. 2S.-The conference of
delegates from the farmers organizations in
Fulton, Warren and McDonough counties
have declared for the holding of a national
convention to form the National Farmers
party. a committee was appointed with in
structions to begin preparations at once for
the event. AS quickly as possible represent
atives will be appointed all through the
United States 1t is planned to hold the
convention not later than the first week in
March, Chicago being favored as the con-
venton place.
Eldon w. Bradbury, who has been en-
gagged in the work of organization, read this
declaration of principles, which was adopted
without dissent:
I'VE hold that all men are created equal
and are endowed by their Creator with GER
tain inalienable rights; that it is to preserve
these rights that governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed and that when
ever government becomes destructive of
these ends 1t is the duty of the people to
alter or to abolish 1T and to adopt such
measures as will insure their rights.
We hold that the rule of minority classes
is contrary to the spirit of our institutions
and destructive to our rights.
we hold that the only free and just gov
eminent is that in which the lawmaking
bodies are composed of direct representa-
uves from such industries or occupations
as have majority of the votes in the con-
gressional and legislative districts defined
by our Constitution and the laws of our
States
with an abiding faith in the truth and
Justice of our belief, We appeal to every
farmer in the United States to join hands
with US in effecting our purpose, which is
the nomination and election of farmers as
members of Congress, and farmers as mem
bers of our Legislature. Agriculture being
the chief industry in the United States, the
enormity and Importance of our interests
demand prompt and energetic action To
that end we urge an expression of opinion
from farmers of this country as to the
necessity of holding convention at the
earliest and most convenient time and place
to discuss our condition and to adopt such
measures and take such action as may seem
necessary"
A brief discussion ensued over the propo-
sition that the representation in the pro-
posed national convention should be one del
egate for each district sending a representa-
tive to the lower house of the Legislature
in the respective States A number of offers
from farmers and labor organizations IN
various States addressed to A. w Holman
the original mover in the new organization,
were read.

CLARK CHOSEN SENATOR
ELECTED BY MONTANA LEGISLATURE
TO SUCCEED LEE MANTLE.
MuIti-MiIIionaire Democrat, Who Re-
Iicans-COntests in other States.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 2S.-On the seven
teenth ballot, taken to-day, the Montana
Legislature elected Hon. William A. Clark
of Butte, United States senator to succeed
Hon. Lee Mantle. The vote Stood Clark,
"a; Conrad, o. Marshall 4; four scattering
OF those who voted for Clark eleven are
Republicans. The four votes cast for Mar
shall were Republican, and one Republican
was absent because of sickness. Two bal
lots were taken to-day. The first resulted
practically as previous votes had, but in the
second the Republicans came to Clark and
his election vas made sure. At a caucus
Of the Republican members held last night,
by large majority of those present it was
decided to be good politics to vote for Clark
and effect his election, in the belief that it
would hopelessly disrupt the Democratic
organization of the State. The joint session
was without notable incident, though sew
eral members made speeches explaining
their votes. The election of Mr.. Clark was
made certain when the grand jury, which
thoroughly investigated the sensational
charges made by State Senator Whiteside,
reported that 1t had heard no evidence on
which to found an indictment for illegal use
of money, thus completely vindicating Mr..
Clark.
William A. Clark is sixty years of age, a
native of Connelsville, Pa In 1856 his
parents moved to Van Buren, county, Iowa,
where the senator-elect farmed and pursued
his schooling. He studied law, but never
practiced. In 1862 he crossed the plains,
driving team and locating at South Park,
Col. Mr.. Clark was one of the first to
reach Bannock Mont, on the discovery Of
gold there in 1862 driving an OK team.
His Montana career began with merchan-
dising, but he soon got into mining, in
which the most of his vast fortune was

REVELATION OF CHARACTER.
The Way Men Put On Their CIOthe

Several men were sitting together in a
club the other night when the conversation
turned on the way to read character. 1

Did any of you chaps ever notice how

That is why say putting on his hat first

shows it by always putting on his hat.
Now" he continued, Il have seen men
dress who put on their shoes last. A man
who does that is likely to be careful about
finishing anything completely that he does.
You'll notice that the last letter in any word
and complete. Take a man who puts on
his shoes first you'd probably expect just
the opposite but such is not the case. A
man of that kind is often a painstaking
fellow, but is also likely TO be hOt-headed,
generous and inf1ammable.
Then there is the man who puts on his
waistcoat and coat together: he'd squeeze
the face off Of a dollar, go out by himself
to have drink, and quarrel with his wife
If he's late and the dinners cold A man
who always puts on the same shoe first is
likely to be superstitious, tickle, not always
truthful and a good deal of a buffer.
Watch the man who puts the buttons in his
shirt after he's put it on: you'll find nine
times out of ten that he's eccentric, very
often musical. or Of an artistic nature and
nearly always nervous.
The man who buttons his clothes from
the top down is frequently very intelligent
almost sure TO be plucky and fearless and
of a reasoning turn of mind. The man who
buttons from the button up does not always
lack these qualities by any means, but he
more inclined TO be mediocre in his attain
ments, and cannot as surely be counted on
in a fight as the other.
Then there's the man who ties his shoe

when he grew up he felt that, noseless he
could never be a success either in love or
in business. He despaired even of getting
sympathy. Cyrano and the long-nosed had
their De Rostand, but who would be the
poet of the nO-nosed?
So the doctor and the chicken and the
was long and complicated This is the story
of it as nearly correct as layman can
tell it. First Herman stretched himself out
on his back and tns doctor cut a little slit
in the middle of his face where the nose
ought to be anG turned the skin back.
Then he took q fire young hen, peeled it
under the wing, and laid bare the flesh.
Herman's face and the chickens breast
were put together. Bandaged tightly, the
two had to live together for eleven days.
The chicken got the best things to eat
which the county hospital had, and every
care was taken TO prevent us dylng; Betore
long even the doctor couldn't tell where
Herman left off and the chicken began.
Then another operation was necessary.
Enough flesh for d good-siZed nose was cut
out of the chickens breast. Quickly it was
shaped and nodded till it suited the ooc-
tors artistic eye. Then over it was put
covering of skin from the mans breast.
The work was done. When Herman got
over the effects of the chlorOform, there
was his nose waiting for him.
1t is a pretty nose, when the owner lies
still. but it is rather ''wobbly," as Her
man puts it, when he starts to walk
around. 1t hasn't acquired as much self
respect yet as noses have that came into the
world at the same time with their wearers
and it is apt to slip out of place. But the
doctor says if Herman dosn't feel of it too
much while it is fresh it will soon be as
solid a nose as could he wished If it does
accidentally become disarranged it can
easily be pressed back into shape with the
fingers
All this comes from a man who says he
knows all about the nose that was put on

The California Scandal.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 2S.-To-day
Chairman Cosper, of the investigating COM
mittee, fled a supplemental report, setting
forth that Howard r. Wright had promised
to vote for Robert N. Bulla for United
States senator in the event of Wright's
election to the Assembly over year ago.
The report of the committee filed yesterday
was to have come up to-day as a special
order. 1t went over until Monday after
noon, however, at which time both reports
will be considered. The deadlock still con-
tnues and the vote to-day was practically
the same as that of yesterday, although the
absence of several members pulled the vote
down.
This forenoon. Just before the vote was
taken the majority if not all, the members
who are voting for L. S. Grant, jr., re-
ceived the following telegram from his
mother Julia d. Grant in Washington: II
thank you for your loyal support of my son,
Ulysses S. Grant"
