The blaze was noticed In the Barker
& Stewart mill yard about l o'clock. One
hour later it had enveloped the entire
yard with raging, seething flames, the
roars of which could be heard for blocks.
About 2:3O the lumber piles on the west
dock of the Keystone yards were ignited
by the flames from the Barker & Stew
art mill, which shot fierce tongues across
a lapse Of water $50 feet wide The wind
was of the cyclonic order and hurled
sparks and masses Of smoke the entire
length of Chequemegon bay, threatening

passed, Sason says. he attempted 10
shoot him with pistol. The weapon,
however, missed fire, and no one per
ceived his presence. Salsons hatred of
M. CasimirPer1ier, he asserted, was due
to the Iatter's laws against anarchists
He admitted that he pulled the trigger
of his pistol at the time of his attack
upon the shah, but in this case again
the weapon missed fire. Salson explained
that, hoping to insure the explosion of
the cartridge he had filed the point of
the hammer. This saved the shah's life
as the hammer had been filed too much
and the pulling of the trigger only re-
suited in making a small dent on the
cartridge
Salson's last employer states that he
was Il model workman, that he never
discussed politics, but that one day he
astonished his companions by saying:
why should we work? Thus we en-
rich others and gain only a livelihood
Would it not be better to return to the

and idle on fruits and game?'

The department of state Is in posses

As 1t IS known that the various lega-

1t is the food that gives the flavor to
the milk, the egg, the flesh of animals
or fowl, or we may as properly say the
food and drink, for both are absorbed
by the digestive organs and passed into
the system. In our search for the
cheapest food, or that which will pro-
duce the most, we are apt sometimes
to forget that the quality needs to be
considered for home use and for mar
ket. Good corn and its products gives
a better flavor to all the above than
any other food we know, and 1t gives to
these products as much nutritive quail
ties as any other food that is not OBJ
jectionable in flavor or in some other
way. 1t is not a perfect food, or a
complete food in all ways, but needs
other foods with it, and one of the arts
Of the skillful feeder Is to see how he
can best combine those foods so as to
feed as much corn as may be profitable
without injuring the health of the ami
NAL. We all know how much better
is the flesh of the steer or hog fattened
on corn than on other feeds, and poul-
try, eggs and milk are also much bet
ter when corn is large part of the diet
than when cheaper grains are used,
while many foods may actually give
unpleasant fiavors.
