"More soldiers" is the demand
that is coming to Macarthur from
every department. of the islands.
Recent events have worked to
vindicate Lawton's judgment that
100000 troops will be needed to
establish American sovereignty
over the Philippines. Until they
attempted to hold provinces Of
two or three hundred thousand
hostile people with a regiment or
two, the American commanders
hardly realized the size of the
Philippine islands. The present
force is not large enough to garri-
son more than half the important
towns and in some OF the most i'm

Cebu, Panay, Saar, Leyte and in

ticle in a hurry. The idea of hang
ing the bale of the lantern in the snap
of buckle is good, for then, no mat
ter how much the lantern is swayed
it cannot fall. To avoid changing the
location of the lantern from hook to
hook, an excellent device is to run
an overhead wire along the space de-
sired to be lighted in one or two places
in the barn or stable. To this wire
can be attached a snap-buckle with a
ring, so as to allow of its being slid
along from one end to the other, and
thus the lantern can be moved along at
will to any point under the wire.
Another point about the lantern in
the barn is to keep the chimney clean.
A lantern never gives too much light,
anyway, but dirty, smoky chimney,
besmeared with greasy tinger-marks,
will shed just about half as much light
as a clean glass.-Guy E. Mitchell, in

SENATORIAL COURTESY.
The Gentleman from the South Gave
Way and the Senate Was
Adjourned.

Senator Pettus, of Alabama, is the most
owl-llke member of the senate. He is so
ponderously solemn that he is unconscious
ly humorous.
Mr.. Pettus will be so years old next July.
He belongs to the old school of southern
statesmen now fast disappearing. 1t is easy
to see, IN the dogmatic manner in which he
lays down the law to his senatorial col
leagues, that he has been judge. He speaks
with great deiberation, at the rate OF about
six words minute, and each word is en-
phasized by the waving of his chin whiskers.
His gestures are confined to a wide sweep of
his arm from his body and an inverse mo-
ton. Everything he does or says is serious.
Even when he wants the senate to adjourn,
he goes about it in a way that is the very
euintessence of solemn dignity. For in
stance, the other afternoon, when Mr..
Spooner was talking on the Quay case, Mr..
Pettus arose.
81 should like to ask the senator to give
way for motion, if he pleases," remarked
Mr.. Pettus, uttering each word as if the
fate of the nation depended upon the an
swer.
81 will agree to anything the senator
wants me to- replied Mr.. Spooner, smiling
ly, except to vote against my convictions on
a constitutional question"
Il am not asking you to do that" said
MI. ?ettus, still mysterious. "but want
you to give way to a notion
well, what is t." asked Mr.. Spooner.
= It is to adjourn" answered Mr.. Pettus,
in his melancholy voice and without a
smile.
Every member of the senate laughed, and
the motion to adjourn was carried.-Wash-

THE VALUE OF WEEDS.
They Keep the Fertility of Soil from
Teaching Out and Are of Value
in Other WAYS.

Weeds have a value. The writer
once heard Prof. Bailey say that the
weed is the friend of the farmer, and
no man should want to get rid of
a farm because it is weedy. He him
self had purchased good farm at a
low price, because it had all run to
weeds and the former owner believed
that they were SO numerous as 10
greatly reduce the value of the land,
But these same weeds had been keep
ing the fertility of the soil from leacn-
ing out, and had kept the ground in a
condition where it would not bake,
but would readily yield to the plow
He simply turned all the weeds under
and got back the fertility they had
taken from the ground. Then he
planted to other crops and had re-
gained farm.
Were it not for weeds, say after a
clover crop, the nitrogen in the soil in
readiness for plant use would disap-
pear. AS it is, the weeds take it up
and hold it for subsequent crops. The
cultivation that is necessary to keep
down weeds is not time and effort
lost. The benefit to the crop cult
waited is more than enough to pay
for the outlay. The additional effect
of conservation of moisture is not TO
be forgotten.
Weeds are also valuable for the
work they do in keeping the land in
the hands of the many. We're there
no weeds the cultivation of the land
could be undertaken on an immense
scale by men of wealth and a mo-
nopoly in land would be possible. If
such a monopoly were attempted at
this time, the cost of keeping the land
clean would make it impossible tn
keep it under control.-Farmers' Re.
