A Boston paper tells OF a Con-
necticut farmer who fed sawdust
and cornmeal to his hens with sue
cess until he set hen with thir-
teen eggs, the result being twelve
chicks with wooden legs and one
woodpecker. The farmer should
have known better than to set thir-
teen eggs.
]. E. Gauger leaves this morning
for Cliff, N. NJ, to purchase a
carload OF bees for his apiary. He
secures the bees from party re-
siding thirty miles from the rail
road, and does not anticipate any
thing in the line of picnic in
making the transfer to his home.
Mr.. Gauger's bee colonies weather
ed the severe weather in good

Every newspaper man, says an
exchange, has at some time in his
business experience met the man
who now takes more papers than
he can read. The same fellow has
paid twenty-five cents for an al
manac, wiped his nose on an avn
ing, tried to blow out an electric
light, put nickel in the postoffice
expecting the postmaster to ap-
pear, wanted to lick the cashier of
a bank because he closed at four
O'Clock, and watched the sign clock
on jewelry store waiting for it to
strike.
Frank Dice went to Rocky Ford
Monday to secure choice lot of
turkeys for the firemen's ball sup
per. The noble steed he utilized
in making the trip had game leg
and was very weary. In fact the
horse appeared to be SO tired that
Franks sympathies were aroused,
so when he loaded several choice
twenty-five pound COLLINS in his
vehicle he resolved to lead the
beast part of the way home and
thus tighten the burden several
score pounds avoirdupois. On the
way home he stopped underneath
a spreading chestnut tree to chin
a village blacksmith, and while
thus engaged the beast took fright
and flew-over the hills and far
away. Frank walked home
through the mud and mire, 4

The farmers round about Holly.
or at least large majority OF them,
have reached the conclusion that
they can make more money this
season by raising onions, celery,
cabbage, etc, than by confning
their attention TO grain crops. In
addition to their cantaloupes each
farmer this spring will plant one or
two acres of onions and two or
three acres of celery, to be ship

mated that upwards of 100 acres
OF celery and nearly as many OF

"MY FRIEND FROM INDIA"

Walter Perkins, who plays the leading
part in my Friend From India" which
comes to the Butte Opera house for three
nights. commencing Oct. IL, says that the
other night in Cleveland a large ferocious
woman was seen lurking about the stage
door. The keeper Of the portal asked her
business and she replied haughtily, I'm
waiting for Walter!'
The matter was reported to Perkins
who was much overcome. He hoped the
woman might go away, but she didn't.
Sundry scouts saw her waxing more and
more wrathful. Perkins became nervous.
The play was concluded, yet he dreaded
to venture out. So he sent a man to ask
what the waiting one wanted.

THE UNIVERSALISTS
The Chicago Reinstatement of Faith
Under Discussion.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 2O.-The Univer-
salist general convention, for which
many delegates and visitors have ar
rived in Boston during the past two
days, opens this evening with COM
munion service in the Columbus Ave
nue. Universalist church. The conven-
ton will be formally organized tOmor-
row morning with President Charles l..
Hutchinson of Chicago presiding.
With the assembling of the delegates
it has become apparent that the con-
vention will be one of unusual inter-
est. While the ratification of the So
called Chicago declaration, providing
for a re-statement of faith and a
slightly different basis of fellowship
will be the most important subject of
discussion, it will not monopolize the
attention of the convention, as there
are numerous other questions to be
considered. Prominent among these is
the representation at the convention.
Revision of the laws of fellowship will
also come up for consideration. Spe-
ciaI attention will also be given to a
plan of campaign for widening the field
of foreign missionary work and church
extension at home.

HOW IT ENDED.

Highlands, Oct. 2O-The course of
the yachts today was south by west
The Shamrock crossed the line first at
11:OO:34, the Columbia 11:O1 35.
At 11:32 the yachts had sailed six
miles of the course and the Shamrock
still led by twenty yards.
The race to the outer mark was mag
hour. At 11:3O the Shamrock was 300
yards ahead. At 1906 the Shamrock
led by only 219 seconds and they We're a
mile and a half from the stake boat
and giving a splendid exhibition of
sailing.
The Columbia turned the mark first
at 12:1S:3O; the Shamrock at 1919.
At 1858 the Columbia was increasing
her lead. The seas washed her from
stem to stern, but she pointed higher
than the Shamrock. Both were driving
along at a high rate of speed.
AT 1:25 the Columbia was seven miles
from the lightship, standing off shore
on a port tack about four miles out.
The Shamrock was on the starboard
tack, standing in to shore and cutting
down the Columbia's lead.
At 2:23 the Columbia was three miles
from the finish and led by three-quar-
ters of a mile.
The Columbia wins.
The Shamrock crossed the finish line
about three-quarters of a mile behind
the Columbia.
The official time of the race at the
finish was: Columbia, 2:4O:00, Sham
rock, 2:45:17. Elapsed time: Columbia
s $500; Shamrock 3:44:43. The Column
bia beats the Shamrock six minutes
and eighteen seconds actual time, and
six minutes and thirty-four seconds
corrected time.

ONE THOUSAND CANADIANS.

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 20.-At meeting
of the cabinet this afternoon it was
decided by the government to send
1000 troops to South Africa. This is
a very much larger number than is
being sent by any of the other col
onies, and larger than the government
has suggested. The Canadian govern
ment does not feel satisfied that Brit
ain has asked only for units of lbs,
with no higher officer than a major, as
it would have preferred sending a
whole regiment, with a Canadian Off
Ger commanding, but as the war office
has arranged for units and to attach
them to imperial corps, the Canadian
government does not feel like asking
for any change.
The militia department has every
thing ready for sending the troops.
They will leave before the end of the
month, and the Canadian government
will pay the cost of transportation to
n point in South Africa.

WANT AN OPEN DOOR
q Southern Appeal ~t0de TO
COngre>Smen.
Cotton Manufacturers Urge Their
Representatives to Secure for
Them fhe Markets of China and
Jspan-FaVOr Expansion.

Charleston, S. c., Oct 20.-The South
Carolina congressman have received a
circular letter signed by every cotton
spinner in the state, in which the peo-
pies representatives in the national
legislature are strongly urged to work
for a thorough application of the 'topen
door policy in the far east. The state
ments contained in the circular are
conclusive evidence that the manufact-
urers of South Carolina are fully alive
to the Importance of the eastern trade
to the south, and demonstrate that the
south is about to invade a field hither-
to reserved to other parts of the coun-
try.
The letter recites that one-third of
the raw product of the state is now
consumed by the domestic mills, and
that with the completion of the mills
now contemplated within three years,
the state will withdraw from the mar
ket as cotton exporter and consume
it's entire output at home. The figures
show that South Carolina now ranks
next to Massachusetts, as a cotton
manufacturing state.
The signers of the letter are all the
more solicitous for the "open door"
policy, from the fact that almost all
their trading is done in far eastern
ports. Every week large shipments of
cotton goods are made to China and
Japan, and the manufacturers are anX-
ious to be placed on an equality with
their competitors of other nations, a
fact which they feel assured cannot be
accomplished save by the course which
they outline. Senator McLaurin has
expressed his approval of the move
ment. but adds that now that we have
a port of our own so near the scene of
operations we should strive to hold it,
as exceeding in value and Importance
any of the negative and uncertain
virtues of an ''open door treaty with
othe1s nations. He argues that the
southern cotton manufacturers have
to gain by American con-
troll OF the Philippines. and that it
would be unpatriotic as we'll as foolish
to oppose our sovereignty there.
