A ureat Ranch Enterprise.

An interesting experiment in con- ducting Q western ranch will be tried this winter. says Detroit dispatch to the Chicago Record. It will be tried in Lower California and Mexico by Michigan people. Many of the old ranching methods will be done away with and in their place strictly novel and up-to-date ideas will be put in operation. The ranch is controlled by J. Dudley Morton of Pontiac, and his uncle, T. Morris Flower, who has been rsnching in Lower California for sev- sral years. Mir. Flower is nephew of the late Roswell P. Flower of New York. and MT Morton a grand-nephew.
 The two ranchmen haya secured con- trol of l6, 900 acres of land just across the border from the state of California. The property is seventy-five miles from San Diego and thirty mileS from Ensensds, Mex, the nearest town. 1t is situated in a valley, slmos, sur rounded by mountains, IS fertile and we'll watered. Large GuSatities of grain will be raised, 5000 acres al- ready having been SOW cd, but the main industry will be stock raising In addition to this the ;anch will pos sess one of the largest poultry runs west of the Misslssippi river. The most modern incubsting plant will be installed for this portion of the enter prise.
 The ranch will be supplied with all the conveniences possible. A unique feature of 1t vii! be the placing of sev- eral ssarchligt.ts on the mountains overlooking thu ranch, thrs replacing the old system of night riding to pre- vent thieving. The tender of each light will be armed with long.range rifle and will also be provided with signal code by which he can Hash informa- tion to the other light tenders and any one who may be out among the cattle. Each light tender will also have at hand telephone connected with the main ranch, the pushing of the button ringing an alarm bell. All parts of the ranch will be provided with telephone stations and an electric light plant will be installed at the ranch, all of the buildings being illuminated by elec- tricity.

humbueced into the belief that every

humbugged into the belief that every thing is practically over. but as soon as the elections were done with the truth began to struggle into the papers, and we know that tho Transvaal and tho Orange River colony are less and not more tranquil than they were months ago. That this is so can be surprising only to those extraordinary minds, the products of a strange cosmopolitan so- ciety, which can never understand what nationalism means. The normal Englishmsn is not astonishsd that in war in which the only terms you offer to your enemy are those of unoondi- tional surrender mon go on fighting to the last gasp. The Boers are doing what we hope and believe every Eng lishmsn would do if our own country were occupied by foreign power which ignored our government, sud dsnly proclaimed our country to be his and demanded our unconditional surrender London Speaker.

When thing are ''the best" they be- come the ''best selling" Abraham Hare, leading druggist, of BeIleville, O., writes: "Electric Bitters are the best selling bitters I have handled in 20 years. You know why? Most dis eases begin in disorders of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood and nerves. Electric bitters tones up the stomach, regulates the liver, kidneys and bowels, purities the blood, streng- thens the nerves, hence cures multi tudes of maladIes. It builds up the entire system. Puts new life and vigor into any weak, sickly, run down man or woman." Price 50 cents. Sold by Globe drug store.

Christmas Toys.
Do you wish war toy or Chris

Do you wish @ war toy or s Christ mas card?
 Women in lawn shirt waists met in State street yesterday. Aren't the Christmas cards beautiiul?" they asked.
 The man who was flaming himself with his hat seemed bored, and won- dered where the joke was, anyway. But the women were serious. There are Christmas cards and Christmas toys in town, and merchants are filling cor ners of their big stores with them.
 Down in basements toys are being unpaoked and hurried into depart ments. There are loads of sleds that trail past the prespiring citizen who thinks Christmas is long way of. He has not 80 much as seen melan- choly day. If he wanders into shop and drops down to the place where toys are displayed, he finds the tin sol aier and "the man behind the guns" are the most popular holiday offerings. Even the little girls will have a touch of the military in their Christmas gifts, for nearly all the dolls are drum mer boys" or daughters of the regi- ment."
 The anti-imperialist father will have his troubles, because he cannot make his little Willie believe that wooden lambs and was b boards are more to be desired than mortar batteries and iron olads. It seems as if nothing that war calls forth on land and sea has been overworked in miniature. There arc armies of toy soldiers performing all sorts of military service and surround ed by baggage wagons, machine guns, submarine boats and cannon. There IS, too, an array of war material, gun models, field trains, artillery. infantry and cavalry and range finders. The advance lot of them is making some women shudder.
 Peace and good will, said woman to hersolf yesterday, as she whispered refeotively: "l wonder if the old Christmas of books, candy and cards, isn't best after all?" But she was alone, and those about her were say ing: Here are things worth having
 These war toys cost money, the most expensive having a $50 to S75 cost tag. Of course there are private soldiers that can be bought for 10 cents each.
 There IS novelty, too, in Christmas cards. The old steeple with its frosty" frame and frosted angles has disap- peared. That frost work scratches and spells our show cases, said de- pertinent manager at Marshall Fields, land so we have raised flowers and dogs and babies instead" I"

High Standards.

The bard would never have uttered: "Music hath charms" etc., had he heard the rasping sounds emanating from the ''thump boxes'' and ''hys- teria-generating" rackets that are be- ing palmed of on the uninitiated as first class pianos. They are gotten up with pretty engraved exterior cases to catch the unwary, but they will not stand this climate over three sum- mers You will make no mistake in selecting the famous "Behr Bros, 7" "Kranich X Bach" "Chickering, "Waldorf" or "Mason & Hamlin" pianos, all high standards and sold at S350 and up, by

For "South Africa" Read Philippines
 Tho South African question is by no means done with. The Boers are still active in the Transvaal and the Orange River colony. Indeed, as the Man
 chester Guardian pointed out on Thurs day. "the area of disturbance is greater now than it has been since the occupa. ton of Pretoria" We wonder how many electors who voted khaki blindly during the last few weeks realized that we are spending two hundred lives and two millions of money every week for the more satisfaction of conducting this war in . manner unknown to the his- tory of civilized nations. If we per sist in regarding the war as similar to the enterprises of the Isrsslites in the Old Testament, as . war of snnihila- tion, refusing to recognize the govern msnts of the people we are fighting against, wiping out institutions and in- dependence not by treaty but by proo- lamation and accepting nothing but unconditional surrender, why should the war ever come to an end? Why should the De Vets, the Delareys and the Bothas. men who, as the Manches- ter Guardian reminds us, were per sistent opponents to Krugerism in the Tranayaal, ever lay down their arms on such terms?

Foreigners For

The correspondent of the Times
at LOurenzo Marquee, telegraphing
Thursday, Jan. 25, says:
More than thirty Frenchmen
who arrived here by the French
steamer Gironde and were prohibi-
ted from proceeding to the Trans
vaal, appealed to the French Con-
sui, who protested that they held
passports endorsed by the Transvaal
Consul and who declared that he
would hold the Portuguese Govern
ment liable for a breach of interna-
tional law if he persisted in refusing
to permit the Frenchmen TO proceed
GAS the Portuguese Governor
General had previously signed the
passports, he was compelled to admit
the validity of the French COnsups
contention, and the Frencllmen we're
alloaced to continue their jourey.
Eighty more foreigners are expec-
ted by a German steamer neat week.

At the Quay Montebello an ac-

France FOrtifying
Madagascar.

The steps recently taken by Fran
ce to place the Island OF Madagas-'
car in a strong position Of defense,
has created much comment in Euro
pean Military circles. Officials are
as usual mysterious and disinclined
to talk, but from semi-official sour
ces it is learn that the French Go
vernmens is convinced that in the
event of success in the Transvaal
England's old designs upon NADIA
gascar Will be actively revived.
France, therefore, is taking precau-
tions to defeat any attempt at Bri-
tish occupation.
Gen. Gallieni, for five years Mi
litary Governor of Madagascar, and
who is now in Paris, said in re-
cent interview.
"Of secret information which |
have about England's intentions |
cannot speak. 1t is not surprising,
however, that the French Govern
ment should wake up to the impor-
tance of making Madagascar impreg-
nable. England has always tried to
contest our rights there. The Bri-
tish know that in case of a conflict
Madagascar lies there near the coast
like dagger in the heart of their
African possessions.
"Moreover, it is splendid base of
operations against India. That l
have long advocated the course now
being pursued is no secret. Diego
Suarez must be and will be our Gil
braltar in English waters.
"Mark my word, if the English
defeat the Beers the Madagascar
question will Immediately become as
prominent before the world as the
Transvaal question is now."
The preparations of France inclu-
de the erection of strong fortifica.
tioDs on the coast and the mounting
of big guns to make all the seapOrts
unaproachable.
1t would seem, however, to an
outside observer, that France is gi-
wing herself unnecessary weasiness
about England designs. In the first
place, the South African war is far
from heading its end and when it is
over whether Great Britain is sue
cessful or not she will certainly not
be either in the humor or in condi-
tiOn to start another war.
