MUDDY FEED LOTS.
how straw May De Put to Profitable

HOW DtEaW NAY De TUT tO tfoAtAbAc
During rainy, soft weather the mud
dy feed lots are terror to many farm
ers, says John NJ. Jamison in The
Prairie Farmer. This condition OF af-
fairs can be changed very much for
the better if the farmer will set him
self about it. We have much SYM
patty for the farmer living in coun-
try where there is no gravel to help
him overcome this unpleasant condi-
ton of affairs Yet even he cannot be
excused entirely for allowing the mud
to become deep and miry in his feed
lots. We have no sympathy for the
farmer who sells his straw for cents
a bale and complains Of muddy and
filthy feed lots. 1t is one of the pro-
visions of nature that what grows on
the soil should &C back to it to retain
and increase its produetiyeness. Farm
ers regard straw as an Improbable
product to handle to get back to the
land, yet much more of it can be used
in making the stock comfortable by
keeping down the mud.
We have cut down our barn lot
where we feed roughness to as small
size as possible. When empty of ma
nure, the water sheds away from the
gateways, but when the lot fills, up
with manure it also accumulates. Ia the

Let Common Sense Rule,

REV. Samuel G. Smith in a recent
article in Harper's Bazar on "The
The Place OF Women in the Worlds
Work." pleads for the limitation oi
women in factories and trade and
strongly advocates the closing of all
wage-earning occupations to girls
under Is years of age. The doctor
evidently means we'll and perhaps in a
good many cases his position would
hold good and yet there is no doub!
that such an arbitrary ruling would
be an injustice to many homes. Take
for instance the case OF woman be.
reft of her husband, and left without
means with two or three young
daughters on her hands. The mother
has been "home" woman, is un
skilled in any kind of business or pro
ductive industry. Her eldest
daughter is but IA years of age, but i:
anxious to come to her mothers as
sistance. She leaves school, learns q
trade and at Is or 16 is qualified fol
some industry that gives promise o
advancement in the future and helps
the mother and younger sisters mate
rally for the present. But DIR. Smith
says she should be 1S before entering
the industrial world. What would he
have this mother and her daughters
do in the meantime?

THE DEATH PENALTY.

Propositions to abolish the death
penalty have been under discussion
this season in two or three Legisla-
tnres. The movement makes slow
progress; for, after more than fifty
years OF agitation, there are only five
States - Colorado, Rhode Island,
Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin-in
which the death penalty is forbidden
by law. The advocates of the change
insist that capital punishment is
brutaiizing; that it does not act as a
deterrent to crime; and that it defeats
the end OF justice by making juries re-
luctant to convict when they know
that verdict of guilty will carry with
it the death sentence. Such a case as
that which recently occurred in New
York where a convict, sentenced to
life imprisonment for murder, was
proved innocent and pardoned after
serving twenty-five years, is cited rs
evidence of the irreparable wrong
which would have been done, if the
death sentence at first imposed upon
him had been carried out. On the
other hand, it is argued that the death
penalty really does deter from crime !;
that statistics show that, through the
abuse of the pardoning power, the
average term of life Imprisonment has
been reduced to confinement for only
ten or twelve years; that the in
creased prison population, where the
death penalty is abolished, puts a
heavy burden on the public; and that
convicts under life sentence are a
dangerous charge, because they can
murder their keepers without incur
ring any heavier penalty than that
which they are already undergoing.
The recent lynching of Colcrldo
conxict, who had escaped from the
penitentiary after killing prison Of
fetal, is explained as protest against
the disuse of the death penalty. In
Michigan there is a strong agitation
for the restoration of capital punish
ment. Iowa once abolished the death
penalty, and later restored it; and
Maine, after abolishing it, restored it,,
and later abolished it again. While
the movement to do away with capi-
tai punishment makes slow progress,
humanizing influences are gaining
ground. The scandal of public execu-
tions has been abolished in most
States; there are about twenty States
in which the court may substitute life
Imprisonment, either at its own dis
cretion or upon the recommendation
of the jury; and three States, New
York, Ohio and Massachusetts,, have
substituted the electric chair for the
hangman's rope.

A DANGEROUS OPEN DOOR.

"A triumph OF diplomacy" Thus
is styled the original door opened by
that shrewd diplomat, Secretary Hay.
There is vast difference of opinion,
however, as to its merits. Let us in.
quire about it.
Prof. Jacob Gould Schurman, Presi-
dent of the Mckinley Philippine Com.
mission, and also President of Cornell
University, in an address delivered last
autumn, which was extensively circu.
lated in the newspapers, says:
al recommend that the United
States do not remain passive in China.
The Chinese are quick to initiate, and
they may by reason of foreign in
vasion become the manufacturers OF
the world. The opening of China to
the commerce of the world would be
a benefit to-day, but our grandchild.
rem might curse us for doing it. Chin
csc cheap labor will make China the
master of the worlds factories and
mills. India alone of all the world
has labor cheap enough to compete
with China, and India is becoming a
manufacturing instead of an import
ing country"
This is not very good outlook in
the Orient, but the worse comes to us
from the pen of the travelling writer,
Frank G. Carpenter, now in Japan.
Cheap labor is the great desideratum
in that delightful land of flowers,
Geisha girls, tleas and imitation.
"The average wages all over the
empire" says Mr.. Carpenter, grange
from ten to twenty-five cents per day
for males, with less for women and
children, the latter receiving not more
than five or six CENTS per day. With
such wages" remarks the writer, "and
with the extraordinary skill and in.
dustry of the people, Japan must for
many years offer opportunities for the
making OF all kinds of goods. They
are making wall paper and letter
paper at one-tenth the cost OF Ameri.
can paper and far superior in texture
They are controlling the market in
lead pencils, pencil sharpeners, rulers
and various articles which they sell at
profit at one-fourth the prevailing
prices in the United States for home
manufactures. In the matter of rugs,
mattings and oil stoves. they are
crushing out all competition.
"If an American brings anything
to Japan, he must make all his profits
out of his first or second importation
for the japanese will initiate the arti
Gle, whatever it is, and run him out ol
business.
"There are now forty-seven modern
cotton mills operating more than a
million spindles, and within the past
few years, numerous wooden mills
have been established. A great deal
OF the manufacturing is done at home,
it being estimated that there are more
than half a million hand looms in the
empire. The manufacturing for 9
large part of the Chinese market will
be done in Japan, and combination
of American and Japanese capital has
been suggested by Marquis to-"
This is the charming phantasmagoris
visible through the Hay open door
The query is: How far will Ameri
can labor be able to compete agains,
a population of over 750OOO,OOO O
cheap labor?

How many steps does housewife
take in aday? This is the problem
the New York State Household Eco
nomic Association has set itself to
solve. 1t is estimated that 2,OOO steps
make a mile, and the proposition is to
compute how many miles are cov-
cred in day by the housewife in the
preparation of her meals and washing
of dishes. Considering 1000 meals as
the average for the year, the mileage
involved promises to be something
stupendous.

TELLER FOR BRYAN.
HE IMPOSES ONLY ONE CON-
DITION FOR SUPPORT.

He Says the Outlook is Better than in 1896
People Know Bryan Now, and None but
Fanatics Believe There will Be Danger in His
Election--That he Will Not Be Ruled by
Trusts is Certain.
Senator Henry NJ. Teller, of Colo
RADIO, who led the bolt of the Silver
Republicans from the St. louis con-
vention, lately in Washington gave
the World the first statement he has
made public of his attitude in the i'm
pending campaign. Mr.. Teller, who
dictated his statement to a stenog-
rapher revised it before consenting to
its publication. AS corrected it is as
follows:
az left the Republican party in
1896 because of its adoption of a plat
form fayoring the gold standard. 1
predicted then that it would follow it
up by establishing by law a gold
standard if it came into power. This
1t has done adding to it provision
that will practically destroy the green
back and Treasury note, and turn over
to the banks the sole issue OF paper
money in the United States.
"The financial question is not set
tied by the passage of what is called
the currency act, and | believe that
will DO question of American poll
tics until such time as we shall secure
a proper bimetallic system. If l had
not left the Republican party in 1896
| certainly should have LETT it on the
passage of the Gold Standard bill OF
the present session.
"If Mr.. Bryan is nominated on a
platform recognizing the financial
plank of the Chicago platform of 1896,
and | have no doubt he will be,
shall give him my hearty support.
AZ believe he has very much bet.
ter chance for success now than l be.
lieved he had in the contest of 1896.
l think the American people have be.
come better acquainted with his char
acter, and none but fanatics believe
there will be any danger in his elcc-
tion.
Personally have a high regard
for Mr.. Bryan, both as to his moral
qualities and his great ability. 1 may
not agree with him on some views, but
he is honest, and if elected will make
President who will not be controlled
by cliques or caucuses or combines OF
trusts.
"In Mr.. Bryan we will have an
American Administration such as the
republic Of ours is entitled to-"
Senator Teller declined to discuss
the question of other issues at this
time. He believes, however, that 9th
er issues will be largely discussed.
Mr.. Teller is generally regarded as
the ablest advocate of silver in public
life. He was stanch Republican un'
til the adoption of the st. Louis plat.
form. When Colorado was admitted
as a State, in 1876, Mr.. Teller was
elected Senator and served until 1882,
when he entered the Cabinet of Presi.
dent Arthur as Secretary of the Inter
ior. He was elected Senator again in
1885 on the expiration of his term as
Secretary, and has since served contin-
uously. He was reelected in January,
1897, as an Independent Silver Repub-
licau. But for his amendment to the
declaration Of war against Spain Con.
gress would not have pledged the
withdrawal of American authority in
Cuba after the establishment of a
stable government

The Colonel's Romance.

Colonel" said the romantic girl,
I" tell me how you got that scar upon
your left cheek. Oh, l just know it
must be thrilling story. Was it
made by bullet or a saber thrust?
prefer a saber thrust. 1t seems so
much more like the knighthood of
old. You can't see bullet coming,
and there is no way to escape it or
combat it. But when your enemy
rushes at you with his uplifted saber
there is the possibility of parrying his
blow and cutting him down. That
seems IN uch more manly, even if the
victor in the fray does receive wound
or two, than to just be laid low or to
lay the enemy low, by a bullet that
cannot be seen. There is no bravery
in shooting man, but there is some
thing knightly in meeting another
face to face with sword. Your scar
looks like one that was left by a
cleaning blade, and l know that your
enemy must at least have been rem
dered hors de combat. Tell ME all
about it, Colonel-when it happened,
and how, l am so interested in war
stories !"
"Yes," he replied, al agree with
you fully about the sword and saber
business. There isn't much bravery
in shooting fellow, and there is
something knightly about standing
up and thrusting and parrying with a
blade. But / got this wound while
acting as an innocent by.stander at a
Chicago strike riot. 1t was brick"

The white house has some aged serv-
ants. Cne of the doorkeepers in the
executive ma. ,.on was appointed to his
place by Lincoln. He has been reap
pointed by every president, and he is
there to-day, bent in form, but alert
of mentality, and willing to tell all
about the good old days. Jerry" the
aged colored porter in the white house,
has been there since the days Of Lin
coin. Jerry is 4 spiritualist, and he
tells visitors, with profound solemnity,
that he converseS daily, or rather night
ly. with the spirits of Lincoln, Grant
and Garfield. ''Dey has toe cum back
hyar, chile" says Jerry, toe fin out
how Tugs done gwan, an | tells um,
chile, deed | does" Another old en-
ploye of the white house is Simmons,
the cOlore! messenger to Secretary
Porter. Grant appointed him, and he
remained at his post until the days of
President Harrison. Harrison did not
like Simmons, so he had him trans
ferred TO the treasury building, where
Simmons was Obliged to bend his dig
nifty and haul b3Nps around in the base
mpnt. When Cleveland came back for
his second term he missed Simmons,
and gave him back his old place. They
