THE COWBOYS PROOF.
His Mnrksmanshlp Showed That He
Had Not Shot 20 XIII.

Jack Vance, a cowboy from the ranch
Of the Butte Creek Cattle company, was
on trial at Alliance, Neb., on q charge OF
shooting at Il brakeman on the Burling
ton railroad with intent to kill him. He
had received his pay a few days before
and was engaged at the time of the
shooting in the picturesque pastime of
painting the county red.
Vance vehemently denied any intent to
perforate the brakeman. He told the
court that, while it was true that ne did
take out his revolver and shoot after the
brakeman had pushed him off the train,
he was merely giving prearranged sig
nal. He and friend had been down the
road a few miles and wanted TO ride bacl,
to the nearest station to the ranch. Real
izing that if they were found by any of
the train crew they would be put off they
had arranged that if one was put off the
train he should notify his partner by fir
ing his revolver once.
The trainman, with visions of what he
firmly believed was n narrow escape from
death, shook his head, aud the judge
friend corroborated the story. but, seeing
lndl his tule lulleu 10 receive CIcuenCe,
the defendant asked the court to please
step outside. The judge asked what for.
"I'll prove my innocence, your honor"
Vance said.
The court was curious and went ont
side. So did the sheriff, lawyers and
spectators. Vance pulled out his revolver
and, holding postage stamp between the
fingers Of his left hand, clipped off each
corner in succession. Next he asked q
spectator to suspend a hickory nut from
a thread. Walking off 80 feet he wheeled
and at the first shot cut the thread. TAX
ing six tacks he placed them loosely in a
piece of wood. This he placed against a
post % yards away. Borrowing a watch
from bystander. he opened the case for
a mirror, shot with his back to the mark
and drove each tack into the wood with
out q miss.
The brakeman had been looking on in
open mouthed wonder. As Vance con-
cluded the brakeman stepped up to the
judge and, tapping him on the arm, said:
'Yes, You honor, l guess I was mis-.
taken. That man wasn't shooting at
me."-Denver Times.

Especial Correspondence.)

Harrisburg, Nov 13.-Col. NJ. S. Quay
has won his fight for reelection to the
United States senate.
His victory was given him by the
Republicans of Pennsylvania at the re-
cent election. A large majority of the
members elected to the state legislature
were chosen at the polls with the un-
derstanding that they would vote for
the reelection of Col Quay when the
legislature reconvenes in January next.
Col. Quay, in his last speech in his
stumping tour of the state, predicted
that he would have $50 votes in the
next legislature, and the result of the
election fully bears out this statement.
He will have at least that many unless
the INSCRIPTIONS men who figure as
part Of the insurgent machine succeed
In a desperate scheme to rob him Of
his victory. 1t is not at all likely that
they will succeed, however.
Col. Quay, before leaving for a trip
to Florida last week, announced that
he would have more than 22 votes over
the number necessary to elect United
States senator, which is 1913. This
would mean that he would have at
least $50 votes. There are 254 votes in
the legislature, which would give him
q majority OF 46 votes over the combin-
ed strength of the Democrats and the
insurgent Republicans in both the sem
ate and the house.
With this great lead it is not possible
that any amount of money could pre-
vent the reelection Of Col. Quay.
When the first ballot was taken In
the senatorial contest two years ago
Col. Quay had 112 votes, and after the
Magee men and the Martin men desert
ed him he still had SO votes, which was
his strength at the end of the session
on the 10th ballot.
Things are different now, as the pre-
dictiens of Col Quay and his friends
are not based upon gold brick promises
of support from cheats and men like
Magee and Martin. 1t is now known
that Col. Quay, who trusted these men
as friends. was made the victim of one
of the greatest political conspiracies in
the history of Pennsylvania politics.
The Martin candidates for the legis-
lature received the money for their
election expenses from friends Of Col.
Quay, and ii was understood up to the
very night that the Republican caucus
was held that Martin and his friends
would go into the caucus. While not
voting for Col Quay on the first ballot,
it was understood that they would ulti-
mately abide by the will of the major
ity.
In the contest for the election Of
members of the legislature just closed
the lines were sharply drawn and pre-
cautions were taken to prevent a repe-
tition of the game played by Martin
and Magee They were both recog-
nized as political enemies and they
we're treated accordingly. The stall
wart Republicans proceeded upon the
principle that they must put none but
tried and true men on guard, and that
they did.
ne iuslOn tdiupdiBu WulCu was
waged by the Wana-
maker-Guffey combine was a complete
failure
Col. Quay's stumping tour of the
state undoubtedly added materially to
the strength Of the stalwart Republi-
cans and put the regulars upon the ag-
.gressive in every section of the state
where there was danger to the ticket.

Philadelphia. Nov. 19.-Regular Re-
publicans VIII organize both the state
senate and the house of representa-
tives when the legislature meets at
Harrisburg in January next. Although
the insurgents and the Democrats are
already getting together to work upon
the same lines they followed at the
last session, when they succeeded in
deadlocking the joint convention for
the election Of a United States senator,
they cannot repeat their proceedings Of
last session
The regulars have thrown down the
gauntlet to the fusion combine and
named their candidates for president
pro TEN of the senate and for speaker
of the house.
DR.. William P. Snyder, of Chester
county, was elected president pro TEN
of the present senate and he was
chosen by a caucus of the Republican
senators, including the insurgents, just
prior to the adjournment Of the legisla-
ture, to succeed himself in the chair of
the presiding officer of the senate, in
the absence Of the lieutenant governor
He is now candidate for reelection
when the senate resonvenes e. jan
uary, and he Is assured of a majority of
the senate in his favor.
For the speakership of the house of
representatives Hon. William r. Mar
shall, of Allegheny, has been agreed
upon by the Republican leaders, and he
will be supported by the stalwart mem
bers of the house. lnasmuch as it will
require but 103 votes to elect the speak
er, and with the stalwarts having a
considerable number of votes more
than 1O3, it would appear that Mr..
Marshall will have no trouble in land
ing in the speakers chair.

BEES IN THE SPRING.
Why 1t Is Not Advisable to Remove
Them from the Cellar Before
the Weather Is Settled

There are often warm days in the
early spring when bees might be re-
moved from the cellar, but the trouble
is that winter is not always over with
the advent of the first spring-like day.
There may be several days, or even
two or three weeks, of quite warm
weather, in which the willows, alders,
elms and soft naples bloom, and it is
really desirable that the bees enjoy all
these advantages; but such fine
weather, when it comes early, is quite
likely to be followed by freezing wealth
er of several days duration, and even
by snowstorm. The fine weather en-
courages the bees to fill their combs
with brood that would eventually pro-
duce workers ready for the fields just
at the opening of the first white clover
blossoms, but the cold drives the bees
into compact cluster in the center of
the hive, leaving half the brood, per-
haps more, unprotected. This brood
perishes; besides, the newly-hatched
bees, if any there are, are tender, like
a newly-hatched chicken, and easily
succumb to cold. The old bees have
lost good deal of their. vitality and
the cold snap is the "last straw" need
ed to send them to the bottom of the
h1ve.-Farm and Home.

fine enough to exclude all providers of
the night. This is to be used in the
summer time when it is too hot to shut
the coops with the tight doors. The
other door can be made to shut over the
wire door by Ringing at the top. The
wire door is made to slide in from the
top or end. With the coop tightly
closed there will not be sufficient ven
tilation. A ventilator made of or A.
inch boards hailed into box about
2h feet long, set in the middle of the
coop roof and extending down inside
to within couple of inches of the bot
tom will suffice. At the rear, to aid
in cleaning, should be door about
inches wide, extending the whole
length of the coop at the bottom. By
lifting this and using small hoe-like
tool, a, made by taking a block 4xs
inches and boring hole in the center
and putting in a handle about feet
long, the job of cleaning is a short and
easy one. All coops should be paint
ed and the roof made tight enough to
prevent leaking. These coops are not
too heavy to be carried to any place
where it is desirable. The illustration
shows the coop with one door raised,

AMONG THE POULTRY.

In placing an incubator in position
use spirit level, to be sure it is level on
all four sides.
There is greater danger now from too
much ventilation in the poultry house
than from too little, especially when
the wind is blowing.
It is wastcful habit to throw grain
or any food for poultry onto filthy
ground or into unclean troughs or YES
sells. It also endangers the health of
the focks.
If the poultry yard does not pay
the grocers' bills, then one of two
things is true-either the fowls do
not have enough attention or your
credit is too good at the grocery store.
Have the breeder heated to 90 degrees
when you first remove the chicks from
the incubator. but do not keep it at
that temperature longer than four or
five days. By that time 80 degrees is
high enough, and in three weeks it
may be lowered to 70 or rs Degrees

Pure Breeds rs Layers.

It is no question of fad, but com.
mercial fact, that the pure breeds lay
as well, they fatten as well, as the
mongrels, and the contingent chances
of profit in extra prices obtained for
pure breeds gives them the decided
advantage. First crosses with pure
breeds may actually give higher av-
erages in egg production for the sea-
son, but one has to set against this
advantage the breeding losses in the
second season. 1t pays best to keep
to purity, and breed amongst your
pure breeds for the best layers, or
table birds, whichever may be your
particular object. So many breeders
have no object. They do not much
care either way. To such, of course,
we have nothing to say.-Rural World

CANNOT REMEMBER NOUNS.
The Peculiar Case of a Russian Sail
Or's Special FOrgetfulness-
A Rare Case.

At the Boston City hospital recently
the peculiar case of Russian sailor,
who could speak English fairly well,
but who could not remember nouns,
was brought to the attention of Har-
ward medical students, reports the
Boston Transcript. The sailor had al
ways carried such familiar articles as
a watch, matches and a knife, and
knew the uses of each one, but the
had totally gone from him. The ex-
animation into his case was carried on
somewhat after this fashion.
The examining physician took out
his watch, and holding it in front of the
man said: "Do you know what this is?"
A smile of recognition passed over
the mans face and he said: ooh, yes; l
know what that is; it is match. No,
that isn't match. It's a-a"-sand
blank, irritated expression came upon
his face Then the doctor said: isn't
this a watch?"
ooh, yes!" exclaimed the sailor,
"that's a watch-a watch"
The same performance was repeated
with tumbler, and then with match.
The Russian could remember the name
of an object or thing for about five sec
onds, but for any greater length of
time his mind could not retain the
name.
The medical explanation of the case
is this: Over two years ago the sailor
was troubled with heart disease. A
particle from valvular vegetation
which had grown on his heart becom-
ing detached, started on journey
through one of the large arteries
which lead up through the neck into
the head, and became fixed in the little
brain area which commands the power
of speech. AS long as that bit of for
eign matter remains in that spot the
sailor will be unable to remember the
names of objects or things. In every
other way the man is enjoying normal
health.
The medical name for the disease is
motor aphasia. Cases of it are rare,
and do not appear oftener than once in
three or four years. If the treatment
which the man is undergoing is sue
cessful he will probably regain this
most important power. At present,
however, the loss of this faculty is de-
cidedly irritating to the Russian.

Who Supports Grand OPERA

There is a general opinion that the
stockholders support the opera, and
that the general public may consider
itself highly privileged to be admitted
at all to the sacred precincts AS
matter of fact, if the opera depended
for it's existence upon the support
of the stockholders, the doors of the
Metropolitan opera house would
never be open. The bottom would
drop out of the whole enterprise.
The parquet and the galleries are the
managers chief reliance. Opera is
not social function; it is a public
institution, and without the public's
support would collapse like a house
of cards. have referred to the half
a million dollars paid during the
season to the principal singers. The
next largest item is 100000 for the
orchestra, and next to that comes
$4,000 for transportation. In speak
ing of expensive performances, 1
have mentioned that of Les Hugue-
nots' when it cost over $4,000 to raise
the curtain. At that performance,
however, scenery, costumes and prop
critics were not new. When an opera
is produced for the first time the
cost of these must be added to the
salaries for the night.-Ainslie's Mag
