Automobile Insurance.

The first claim for an automobile acct
dent has been paid by one of the large
accident insurance companies. The victim
was filling the gasoline tank Of his ma
chine and was burned to death. Thus a
new hazard has been created for under
writer's to consider in writing policies.
1t does not appear, however, that this
hazard is very great, SO far, although no
one can tell what may be the conditions
when the horseless carriage has reached
virtual perfection. Insurance men in
New York do not think that there is like
" to be an additional charge imposed for
the use Of the automobiles.-New York

The "Basis of Impassioned Oratory."

w. l.. Higgins, just nominated for the
state Senate by the Republicans, ''is the
oldest-fashioned man of this age in Kan

ticket with a shiny black valise in his

He began his career like many other sue

at the age of 20, read and studied at odd
times, and finally began to teach school.
Since then he has read law and is one
of the leading lawyers of this town.

When a feller's comm homeward,

An he's come weary way,
AS he steps into the clearin'
That he left since yesterday
Oh, it's then his heart beats quicker
An glad smile mounts his face,
Fur the light that flickers yonder
Cleans from his own home place.
Oh, the cabin in the woodland,
Nestled back among the trees,
BY the orchard an the garden,
CROWN old by slow degrees;

II it's viewed by him at loves it
On 4 moonlit summer night.
Oh, the cabin In the moonlight,
With the old oaks standin' by,
An the hollyhocks a noddin'

Literature in the South.

Literature has widened its scope in the
South, both geographically and in the
subjects of which it treats. OF course,
fiction is still in the lead, and in the
genre of fiction, as we shall see presently,
the old type, the negro story of one kind
or another, is still dominant. But the
time has passed when Southern literature
can be held to comprehend nothing more.
Work is being done in the South today in
almost every field Of literature-not, in
deed, great work, but worthy work.

War Plays Havoc with Horses,

In a cavalry charge, especially when
the firing is at long range, it is practical
ly impossible for the enemy to aim ut so
small a figure as human being with any
certain chance Of hitting him, and so,
the horse presenting the larger target, the
list OF casualties among horses, under the
circumstances, is naturally greater than
among men. At Talavera 29O horses
were killed and 24O men. while at the ia

When to Cut Mixed Meadows.

When we have timothy and clover
growing in the same field at the same
time the best we can do is to sacrifice
the least valuable and save, if possible,
the one that will do us the most good.
Our requirements must govern our ac-
tons. For instance, we may have more
cows and growing cattle than we have
mature horses, and if so we must cut
the meadow before the clover ripens and
becomes unpalatable We will consider
the difference between the two crops and
will take for illustration two fields side
by side, one Of timothy and the other of
clover. The first week in June the clover
is in full bloom and is ready to cut. The
timothy is at best not half advanced in
growth, has not vet commenced to joint,
in fact, no part of. the future or embryo
hay crop has yet appeared; the stem that
constitutes first-claSs hay is entirely alb
sent. This comparison is where the two
crops ore separated, where they are to-
gcther, timothy is smothered by the
month-earlier maturing clover and at
best can make but feeble growth before
the clover natures and gives possession
to it. We have had best success with
the medium variety of clover, which may
be cut when the timothy is coming into
bloom. The clover is matured then and
there will be scarcely any undried bios.
SONS. The .ayidity with which stock
CONSUMES the Clover makes many auvO-
Gates for mixed hay, but 1 would advise.
sowing two crops that ripen about the
same time. | would suggest clover and
orchard grass. These plants mature
about the same time and make a combi-
nation worthy of trial. L know orchard
grass is much condemned as hay-pro-
.ducing plant, simply from lack Of obser-
walton as to its requirements. Orchard
grass or blue grass il. sown and cut with
timothy would be worthless but-with
clover they make good hay.-Prairie
