The little camp-fires of the soldiers
were embers now, and beside them the
men from the States were lying in the
moonlight rapturously rolling about in
that big and general sympathy which
is an adjunct of tobacco and strong
coffee. At last the packers came in
from the mules. The animals had
been watered and fed, and only the
herd guard was left with them now.
Come and get it while it's hot, you
savage" ordered the cook. Then he
made me swell up until was giddy by
observing. Here's an extra mess-tin,
If you haven't got one" And by way
of introduction, he concluded, Eel
lers, this is one of them short-handed
guys, as writes for the papers. He
lost his mouth, and is out of grub.The
only good thing about him l know Is
that he isn't one of them d. soldiers.
Then 1 met Old Dad and Scar Face
and Broken Foot. They made man
out of me with coffee and bacon, and
treated me as If had been one always,
and they told me wonderful tales
which have yet to repeat. All, that
was marvellous night in the moon
light at dirty Alphonso! When most
of the fellows were drowsy, Broken
Foot Bill went out to the herd to take
his trick at the guard. went with
him. Listen to the words Broken
Foot said to me that night and you
will see his big heart:
"See that big roam brute. with hole
in his side?" he asked. "Well, that's
Mankiller, the dead ringer for old
Moon Eye, who killed herself today.
Don't 60 near that brute; he's wicked.
Old Moon Eye was the shape of that
brute, only he was gentleman. He
had hole in his side. We haven't
packed him for three days. This
morning he was stiff and couldn't fol-
low. He lost hisself from the herd
about noon, and saw him way up on
top of a cliff. He was pet of mine
and called to him. His front feet were
right on the edge. He looked at me
kind of sorrowful, and then pushed
himself over. He's a-layen out there
now in one of them canons, bout 10
miles from here. I-liked-Old Moon
ye-decent-feller."
An hour afterward we were still
standing together watching the herd
Broken Foot and I. He seemed to
want to say something more, and so
l waited. At last it came.
''Say, I've got an old mother back in
St. Louis. send her something every
pay day, but I hain't heard from her
for six months. Will you find out
about her, an write me when you get
back, Kid?-Broken Foot Bill Burd-
sell-Pack Train Thirteen"
promised. And after that there
was no sound in the plaza save the
crunching of the mules at their forage
and an occasional coquettish squeal
from the bell-mare. And the moon
swung over to the northeast, and hung
low and waited for the dawn, %
And the next morning started to
hyke with the pack train, and during
the next eight days l learned to be
proud of my strong new friends in
Train Thirteen. And saw wonderful
things watching General Schwan's big
campaign in the lower provinces Of
Luzon-from the back of the bell
mare. .t. ~

Jeopardi.inr the Children.


The New York Farmer publishes the
following: Recent reports on the use
Of preservatives in foods toll Of a case
Of an infant whose chief food was
milk. The infant was sick, and the
physicians. after investigating every
thing else connected with it. turned to
its food. At once they discovered that
the milk fed to the unfortunate child
was preserved" milk, that is to say
milk, in which an INSCRIPTIONS dealer
had put boraric acid to keep it
sweet" The adulterant made the milk
unfermentable, of course, and it also
made it absolutely indigestible. The
milk could not sour. Neither could it
be digested by the unfortunate infant.
This is a typical case Of the danger
GUS effects of "preservatives" in food.
That infant was being murdered by
degrees. The man who placed the
"preservative" in the milk was COM
mitting murder, and committing it for
the basest of all base motives, the mo-
tive of gain. How should the public
regard a dealer who would thus en-
danger the lives Of his patrons chill
dren? Could any punishment be too
severe for a crime Of that kind? It is
to be feared that a thorough investi-
cation in the towns and cities would
show that very many deaths Of in
fants are directly due to the use Of
adulterated or preserved" milk, doc
tored cream. and other monstrosities.

Feeding Chickens.

The Oklahoma Experiment Station
has recently issued a bulletin which
reports feeding experiment with
chickens in which some Interesting re-
suits were obtained. The object Of the
experiment was to determine the
amount Of digestible matter in Kaflr
corn and cowpeas when fed separately
to chickens.
The following summary from the
bulletin gives the practical results:
/. Chickens digested Kahr corn and
corn more completely when the grain
was fed whole than when the meal was
fed.
2. The Kafir corn and Kafir meal
fed in this trial yielded but per cent
less total disestible matter than the
corresponding corn products.
8. Kafir corn was q more suitable
ration, considering only the relative
amounts Of growth-making and fat
forming materials, for chickens than
Kadr meal. corn or corn meal. .
4. Cowpeas were digested reasona-
bly, well, and are desirable for grow
ing chickens and hens. But little gain
in digestibility was secured by grind
ing cowpeas.

Canker.

Canker is another form of roup. It
often starts at the base of the tongue
and windpipe, and quite frequently
smothers them, as it collects a white
cheesy substance, very tough and
leathery. This is the worst form OF
roup, and is sometimes called diph-
liberia. Take stick and scrape out
all this white substance, then apply a
little subsulphate Of iron or chlorate
Of potash. Wet your finger in water,
insert in the dry potash and apply on
the sore. Also use pulverized alum.
magnesia and sulphur, equal parts, ap-
plying it with an insect powder gun
in the throat and nostrils. Another
form is when the eyes swell ana a
leathery cheese forms in them. The
best remedy is the hatchet, yet some
cases can be cured. Take the patient,
wash the head good with warm salt
water, give them a little pine tar and
put little on base of beak. and baths
the swollen parts with kerosene and
sweet oil. Treat them daily, feed good
strong feed, and they will probably
show change for the better in six
or seven days. Give them good fresh
water to drink, with little copperas
in It: about teaspoonful to a gallon
Of water: The above are the best rem.
edies for roup I know of. There are
many remedies that are claimed to
cure roup without handling the birds.
but thus far have never found any,
thing that did any good but Kerosene

The government wool report indl-
Gates that the average weight of feeces
at this time is 6.17 pounds, as against
sos pounds in 1899.
A report from Piedmont, Wyo.,
says: strengthening is in full blast
there and as soon as the bands are
shorn they are rushed out to the sum-
mer range, which is already over
crowded. Very little wool has been
sold, the buyers being fearful Of sud
den drop in the market and desiring to
take advantage of the change in prices
If it comes.
A wool buyer lately returned from
an inspection Of sheep, in Colorado.
Idaho, Utah, California, Oregon and
Washington, says that sheepmen are
happy over the prospects and are hold
ing their sheep and lambs at stiff
prices. AS result not many have
changed hands as yet. Supplies Of
sheep in Oregon and Washington are
light, but the supply of lambs is large
all over the West, the season having
been favorable for bringing them to
maturity.
Montana and Utah are considered by
the sheep men the best wool producing
states in the West. and are practically
in control of the Western market. The
grading up" process that Is going on
there and in the fiocks of eastern Colo
RADIO and other Western states and ter
ritories is marvellous. Fifteen years
ago rs per cent of the wool from Colo
rado and New Mexico was graded as
coarse carpet wool; now not more than
to 10 per cent is so graded. The
change has come about through the
importation Of high-bred rams from
the East, and the grading up OF focks.
The large increase and establishment
upon a permanent basis of the lamb
feeding business in Colorado is hav-
ing marked effect upon the range
business in part Of the state. Both
large. and small owners are changing
their policy and shaping it more with
reference to the feeding industry.
Hitherto feeders have been obliged to
depend almost exclusively upon the
ranges of southern Colorado and New
Mexico for their lamb supply. This
has compelled them to resort to long
and tedious trips and heavy expense
CT transportation to the feeding pens.
If they can buy more of their lambs
from the nearby ranges it will save
much of this trouble and expense. The
northern Colorado range men will not
only increase their flocks to supply
this demand, but will endeavor to
breed lamb that will be especially
adapted to the making of the best NUT.

COMIQUE CASE.
POStpOnement Asked FOr---PrOb-
ably a Conditional Sentence
May Be Imposed.

The alleged charges against Manager
Sullivan Of the Comique were not heard
in mayors court this, Tuesday, morning
at the hour set for the preliminary hear
ing, and the case was postponed until
later in the day. At o'clock, the hour
for the hearing, the court room was
packed with spectators who had come
to listen to the details of the case, but
when the defendants failed to show up
there they left the room. Word was
received from Sullivan that he desired
a postponement of the case and the
mayor accommodated him.
1t is not known Just what action Sui
livan may take in the case, but it's said
that he may probably remove to another
state. 1t is believed that if he pleads
or is adjudged guilty by the mayor that
the conditions of his sentence will be
such that he will have to dispense with
one of the features of the Comique, re-
specting women who visit the place, al
legged in the complaint.
MUST CLOSE THE COMIQUE. .
When the case was called in mayors
appeared before the mayor accompanied
by Richard McNerny, in whose name
the Dow tax was issued to the Comique
MCNerny stated that he probably would
be the party against whom the charge
ought to have been preferred, and there
fore the charge was withdrawn and the
same charge filed against McNerny, and
Sullivan was released. McNerny plead
ed guilty to the charge and the mayor
assessed him $40 and costs, aggregating
$50, which he paid. The girls who were
found in the Comique at the time of the
raid were also arraigned and they
pleaded guilty to the charge and were
each of them assessed S. and costs.
McNerny paid all the fines and costs in
the case, aggregating $l05. McNerny
told the mayor that he would withdraw
his license this, Tuesday, evening and
that he would at once close the Com
ique. In addition to the fine a sentence
of 80 days in the workhouse was i'm
posed, but this was deferred under the
condition that the Comique be closed at
once.

that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the

is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the

MANAGING BOARD
OF Y. N. G. A.
Annual Election Takes Place
Monday Evening.
RESULT WAS A SURPRISE.
Two Members on the Ticket Met Their
Waterloo at the Hands of Younger
Members who Were Not
On The Ticket.

The annual election of the board Of
managers of the Young Mems Christian
association held at the association
rooms Monday evening resulted in q
surprising turn of affairs. The nomin-
ating committee had posted only as
many names as were to be elected, and
of course 1t was expected that those
candidates would be unanimously sup
ported. Some of the members thought
that they were not being given a free
opportunity to express their sentiments,
so they did a little caucussing on their
own account and the result was that
some of the regulars" were literally
scratched and other names more pop
ular substituted. The officials of the
association refused to make the ballot
public this morning, but in conversa-
ton with several of the members who
took an active part in the proceedings,
it was CLEANED that Professor Jo-
seph Rea was defeated by his son
George, and that Charles A. Stolberg,
the ex-secretary of the association, met
his Waterloo at the hands of C. j. Par
ker, manager of the basket ball team.
AS the official ballot is not given out,
1t is expected that an effort will be made
at the board meeting Wednesday night
to consider the scratched ballots illegal
and thus elect the regular candidates.
If this is done, the young men expect
that the defeated candidates will resign
in favor of those who received a major
ity of the votes and thus avoid a contest.
The boys feel that they have expressed
their sentiments, and that they should
be respected They say that if the as
sociation belongs to the board, then let
them run it. but if to the young men of
Canton, then they should be allowed to
express their preference in it's manage
ment.
Following are the names of the regu-
lar candidates:
Stephen Francis, DR.. G. e. House,
Joseph Rea, William A. Bell, NJ. A.
Bartlett, Charles A. Stolberg, and Rev.
j. c. Hathaway.
The first six nominees receiving the
highest number of votes cast to be cleo
ted for the term ending February 2S,
1908, while the nominee receiving the
next highest number of votes to be cleo
ted for the term ending February 2S,
1901.

FOR FANNY.
While LanguiShing in Jail Her
Husband Sues For Divorce.
WILLIG CASE BOBS UP AGAIN.
The Husband Makes Various Charges
Against His Newly Welded Wife
and Wants to Get Rid
OF Her.

Attorney Charles Upham rushed into
the clerk of courts office Tuesday after
non about o'clock with a divorce petit
tion and asked to have service on the
case at once so the defendant could be

who was arrested at the instance of her
husband Saturday on the chrge of big
amy. The case against her was set for

pers at once and they were placed in the

A petition in voluntary bankruptcy
was filed in the United States courts in

ling, for nearly four years, and recently
