Strategy of a Spendthrift.

A good story is told of young man who,
besides being of the spendthift order, is a
mimic and can initiate his fathers voice to a
nicety.. Not long ago the young man want
and he knew that his father would treat
his Request with cold contempt. Waiting
till he knew that his father would be away
he went to the telephone and rang up the
office, calling for the cashier. The cashier
was fort Incoming, and when he was al: the
other end the young man initiated his sire's
voice: II say, Blank, if that scapegrace son
of mine comes around and asks for SlOO,
don't give it to him, only give him $780,"
The cashier promised that he would full
fl the commands. Not long after that the
son called at the Office and demanded $l00.
He was refused by the conscientious cash
ier, and, apparently, in anger, the young
the old man reached the office there was

RUFFLES DADS DIGNITY.
The YocnE Baseball Eooter Causes
His Paternnl to Feel Too
Prominent.

He. is Chicago board of trade man, dig
ni6ed to degree, has luxuriant, bushy side
Whiskers, clean chin and upper lip, and he
dearly loves baseball He also has a son
six years old, who loves the game as dearly
as does his father, and while the elder enjoys
the playing in a solid, placid, contented way,
the boy bubbles over with enthusiasm and
outroots all other rooters.
During the last Chicago-St. Louis game
father and son sat in the grand stand under
the, intense strain of knowing that St. Louis
had two men on bases and two out, and if
the man at the bat made base hit the score
would be tied. The latter smote the ball
heavily. 1t scared upward and onward, far
back into what the baseball reporter calls
"the left garden.'
Left Fielder Ryan was there, and, after a
long, hard squirt, caught the fly on his finger
tips and he'd it: The crowd screamed joy-
ously and the small son of his father nearly
went, out of his skin for glee. The father
merely smiled with dignity.
Finally the crowd ceased it's yelling after
the lett fielder had doffed his cap thrice.
There was silence as he walked to the bench
ttwirIing his blond mustache with either
hand
Then, with his fathers clean shaven upper
up IN mind, and with voice that drew the
attention of the assembled hundreds toward
his DEVOTED dad, the six-ycar-old rooter fair

discovery, which he considers thu
crowning event of his wonderful
career, and which is embodied in a
new article of commerce, known as
Red Cross Starch (Red Cross trade
mark.) He is planning to distribute
millions of packages of this starch to
the housewives of America, at a merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make its merits known without de-
lay. Thus, for but s cents two large
10c packages of Red Cross Starch may
be had, together with two magnificent
Shakespearean views printed in IL
beautiful colors, or Twentieth Cen
tury Girl Calendar; or for only 20
cents 10 packages of the starch and
the entire series of eight Shakespcarcan
views and one Twentieth Century Girl
Calendar-views alone easily worth
$1.OO. Watch this paper for future
premium announcements, of which
every lady will certainly want to take
advantage.
While Mr.. Hubinger will devote his
best energies to the manufacture of
this new and wonderful starch, he will
not retire from the various financial
enterprises in which he is interested-
street railways, electric lighting plants
and the Mississippi Valley Telephone

his social obligations and exercise of
the splendid hospitality which he dis
penses at his palatial Keol1uk home.
Mr.. Hubinger's family, consisting of
himself, wife and four children, is the

great enterprises, he is still fonder of
his home circle, where he spends every

Cows Need Lots of Water.

No dairyman who makes study of
his business is satisfied with watering
his herd once a day. If his cattle can
be induced to drink two or three times
a day he is glad of it. All the cattle
may not be equally thirsty at the same
time. Cows require an immense
amount of water, as every farmer boy
has noticed. Experiments have shown
that the average milch cow needs about
81 pounds of water day while in
milk-this is nearly ten gallons-and
over so pounds while dry. Of this the
GOWN milk takes rather more than two
thirds as drink and the rest in her food,
while the dry cow takes rather less than
two-thirds as drink and little more
than one-third in her food.-Farmer's

Green Crops for the Orchard.

Bare soil soon loses its humus and be-
comes infertile. This must be prevent
ed. Here is one way of preventing it:
Plow the orchard in the spring, culti-
vate both ways and keep all weeds down
till September 1, at which time the soil
will be in fine condition for seed bed.
Sow rye at the rate of two bushels per
acre. This will cover the ground well
before winter, and therefore protect the
ground from blowing or hard freezing
during the winter. Let the rye stand
till knee-high in the spring, then turn
under and proceed with clean cultiva-
ton through the summer.

SCANDINAVIAN TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

SCANDlNAtl Ian I1tlHLE ALLlANlE.
An anonymous correspondent to the
Stockholm Dagblad proposes a Scandina-
Wan triple alliance, and many newspa-
pers take him seriously enough to reprint
his production. The strongest point in his
plea is that the Sound ought to be strong
ly fortified SO that no hostile fleet can
pass through it. The writer first reviews
the military strength Of the three coun-
tries and next emphasizes the advan-
tages that would come to them from the
alliance. The union has eight ironclads,
aggregating $4,000 tons (of which six are
Swedish, with 1890 tons) seven torpe-
do cruisers of 1900 tons Is Swedish, with
$500 tons); and twenty-six torpedo boats
Of 2100 tons CsiXteen Swedish, with 1,24O
tons). The Danish Navy consists of five
ironclads, aggregating 1860 tons; four
cruisers of $500 tons; and twelve torpedo
boats of 1920 tons. The total displace-
ment Of the navies of the union is 81 800
tons, or almost SO per cent greater than
that of the Danish navy (24,60O tons). The
land forces of the union, numbering $780,
900 men, are more than twice as strong as
the Danish army 100000 men). The pro-
posed alliance would, therefore, increase
the defensive forces of the union about so
per cent, while those of Denmark would
be trebled. But the power of resistance
could be still further increased by clos
ing up the Sound. This would require
four forts, two on the Swedish and two
on the Danish shore. The width of, the
Sound is about six English miles; but
the so-called FLINT Channel could cas-
lily be closed, and even the main channel
is so shallow that it is impracticable to
use first-class ironclads at all in the
Sound. The four forts would cost about
81, 100000, of which Sweden would have
to pay one-half The writer is afraid,
however, that Denmark would not be in
favor of such an alliance, and he gives
his reasons. Russia intends to appro-
pirate the northern part of the peninsula
so as to reach the Atlantic ocean, Den
mark is on friendly terms with Russia,
and for that reason would not foster
an alliance which would tend to inter-
fere with the plans of Russia.

has been apprehended on grounds that
may be connected with the lockout. This
is magnificent result which will make

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 1S.-Coal is re-
failing at Cincinnati at twelve cents q
bushei, and there is no river coal afioat
there for domestic consumption. There
are a few bnrges Of coal at some Of
the landings, but this coal has been
contracted for. There Is some coal in
some of the elevators. but not much, in
fact It is scarcer than It has been in
many years. There Is shortage Of
railroad cars and the dealers there are
diminishing for coal at all points.
Coal sold at eight and nine cents n
bushel at Cincinnati for family use
during the summer, but the shortage
has sent the price up TO twelve cents,
and II Is hard to get at that price. I'M
til n month ago the article sold at ten
cents and those operators who had coal
made a very good profit on II. The rail-
roads are attempting to supply the
trade. There viii be a good market
for the river product when q rise
comes. There are about a dozen land
IngB at Cincinnati and, with few eX-
ceptlons, they are owned by persons
identified with the river, interests. The
landing are leased for a term Of years
