Flax Possibilities.

The, fax industry In this country Is
one which the free-traders have been
disposed to treat as Of small conse-
quence. but 1T will not be long time
before we shall raise all our own fax,
and manufacture all its products. Dur
ing the past year North Dakota farm
ers have raised flax to the value of
about $10,OO0000; and large mill has
been erected at Fargo for the reduction
of fax straw before shipment to Ma
CARA Falls for manufacture into manila
paper. A fax mill, with a capital of
$250.000, is projected at Taunton.-Ths

Estimates of Feeding.

& One Of the difficulties encountered by
farmers who study the experiment sta
ton reports is thesestimates Of feeding
based upon the live weight Of the ami
mails. The presumption is that large
animal should eat more than a smaller
one to maintain itself, and the tables
are given on such supposition. The
fact Is that farmers know that size
does not always regulate the amount OF
food required. Individual characters
tics govern the matter to a large ex-
tent, and small animals will frequently
consume more food than those that are
larger. No two animals are alike. and
there is no certain rule that can be bas-
ed upon weight of the animal when
feeding.

their denunciation of protection as rob-
berry of the many for the benefit of the
few. If in the next eight years the
Democrats should elect President and
obtain working majorities in both
branches of Congress, does anybody
suppose that the Dingley tariff law
would be allowed to remain on the Fed
eral statute books? Democratic oppo-
sitiOn to a protective tariff is not dead;
1t is only asleep, or, what is more near
ly the fact merely ''playing 'possum."
The tariff is a live issue, and it must
remain alive until the two dominant
parties are in accord on the question Of

Foot Comfort.
Mr. w. l.. Terhune, publisher of the
Boot and Shoe Recorder, says: "The
boot and shoe trade is closing the most
prosperous year since 1892" In spite
of the apparent fears Of the free trad
ers, therefore, 1t appears that the peo-
pie have not suffered for foot comfort.
Increase Of work and wages has taken
care of the shoe question. And it fur
ther appears that the much. talked of
tariff on hides, so loudly denounced by
the free traders, has laid no burdens
on buyers of shoes. In Mr.. Terhune's
opinion, the tariff on hides has had mo
detrimental influence" on the boot and
shoe business. He states, in fact, that
scarcely any hides are imported for
boots and shoes.

D6HTH OF BELLEB0YD, THE FRMOUSSPY

American history probably furnishes no
parallel Of the tempestuous career of
Relle ROyd, the famous Confederate spy
who died at Kilbourn City Monday The
story of her life reads like the weird
tales told in yellow-covered novels.
Though not a beautiful woman she pos
sessed the art of capturing the hearts OF
men and was a much married woman
Two of the five husbands with whom she
lived were Choctaw Indians. While liv-
ing with oIe of them In the Indian Ter
ritory in 1890 it was reported that she had
been shot and killed. Her warrior hus-
band procured a quart of bad whisky and
rode forth to kill her slayer only to learn
that it was a woman of similar name who
had lost her life.
Long before she became Identified with
Stonewall jackson Belle Boyd had the
reputation OF being one of the most
graceful and daring horsewomen In the
South, and fer her feats in this line she
was known throughout the country. She
was educated at the Mount Washington
female seminary, and it was while she
was home on a vacation in 1859 that the
John Brown raid at Harper's Ferry TOOK
place. Shortly after this she spent her
first winter in Washington society, where
she created no small stir. Much of her
time was spent il listening to the de
bates in the senate and house. and when
she returned to her homo it was as a
fnll-hedged secossionist. Later, when
Patterson and Cadwailader's troops in
vaded Virginia and swarmed AROUND her
home in Martinsburg, a drunken soldier
insulted her mother. Belle was present
DTOmDtlV drnW
killed the soldier.
For this offense she was brought before
Gen. Patterson and a court of inquiry
was held. The hearing resulted in her
discharge, Gen. Patterson declaring that
she did right, and that he hoped every
other Southern girl would follow her ex-
ample under similar circumstances. Dur

FACE IN THE OPPOSITE WINDOW.
In the window of the other car, di-
rectIy opposite ours, was found the face
of one of the prettiest girls / ever looked
at. She was about twenty [ judge.
and from what could be seen Of her was
one or those young women who go in for
aLhIeucS and outdoor sports that have
little element of danger in them Her
patr1clan cOuntenanCe was set off by the
most beautiful black hair Her cheeks
We're tinted a deep red, and her eyes
blazed with the excitement Of the race
Beyond her on the same seat could be
seen a stout old lady in black with a pale
face, handling bottle Of smelling salts.
Whenever the w. and A. window went
ahead a few inches. the young woman
could not repress an eXultant glance at
our window, and when. as always hap
pened, 1t came slowly back, she showed
window and our ViS-a-vis began to ex-
change glanCCS of defiance.
Right here is where my friends coOs-
sal nerve came in. Taking out a card he
wrote upon it, Must leave you now, and
leaning out of the window with that in
nOcent harmless look that has disarmed
many a stubborn harness dealer thrust
it into the girls hand. The w. and A

Onds later the window with the picture in
it again came up opposite us and this
time she had a bit Of white in her hand
My friend reached out again In the
Wh!Stling air current between the cars
and clutched it. 1t was her dainty card
and on it was: Why? Are YOU going
back2'
He put it in his pocket quickly. and
just then the w. and a. train forged
ahead half dozen feet, and it's engine
screamed VIGOROUSLY. We had reached
the end Of the course, and the two trains
shot away on the diverging tracks iusr

Chicago business houses are putting a
ban on cigarette smoking by employees,
saying the habit is Incompatible with

follow this initiative Aside from effects
en- the mind, it7 is c1aimed that nicotine

SADIE against the use of the cigarette BY
the employees of all of the large depart
ment stores and the factories in Chicago
By the prohibition already enforced
LOO employees are affected. OF these 80
per cent are boys under eighteen years
old. OF these boys it is estimated that 600
who are now abstainfng from cigarette
smoking formerly were smoke rs. The
objection made by the employers, which
leo up to the prohibition of. cigarette
smoking by employees. were as follows:
That the smell of nicotine from the
breath of employees is annoying to Gus
toners and to other employees who are
not users.
That nicotine demoralizes the employe
and affects his honesty
That cigarettes make the employee nerv-

That they stunt his mental growth, be
fog his memory and prevent an alert in

That physically they affect the empIoye

An active mind, suffering from
Vverexertion, grief, trouble, worry OF
household cares, demands from the
body greater amount of fuel fer the
vital fires than the digestive organism
can supply. 1t requires a certain
amount of vital force to operate the
hLman machine, and when all the
available supply of force is absorbed
by the overworked brain there is moth
ingileft for the stomach. 1t is easy
now to understand why irritability
and dyspepsia have become almost
synonymous; why nervous. person is
usually so very particular and capri
cious about food. It's an almost UNI
disputed fact that no marked progress
can be made toward the ultimate cure
of any disease until the mind is put
into that calm, serene condition
which is natural to people in full
