Man iowa Uses a Compound that
Makes His Hens Lay Double the
Usual Number Sumaner and
Winfer.-Seeret of His
Success

People in the neighborh0od of Cres-
ton, Iowa, are amazed at the number of
eggs that this man drives TO market
with. When asked what was the cause
of his hens being SO prolific. he stated
it WAS all In certain compound he
was using, that kept his hens in good
condition and furnished them with the
proper stimulus to egg production.
American Poultry Mixture is the name
of it, and is made by American Manu-
featuring company, Terre Haute, Ind.
Every man in the poultry business is
interested in the health of his hens
and their laying capacity. In the eggs
lie his profits. This mixture is guar
anteed to increase the production of
eggs 100 per cent. or money refunded.
It will do more than three times as
much as the same amount of any other
compound. 1t is concentrated in form
and the result of years of practical ex-
perience in the poultry business.
Th0re is absolutely no doubt as to
what it will do, and you are invited to
try it at the expense of the company.
Send 81 for a sample package and if
it doesn't do the work you get your
money back. This is fair and is made
to induce practical poultrymen to give
it trial. 1t is also a sure preventive
of such diseases as the terrible cholera
and roup which create such havoc in
all parts of the country. 1t acts
directly on the craw and gizzard and
is thoroughly scientific preparation.

THE QUEENS HINDUSTANL.
Language After Many Years
of study,

1t will be handed down to posterity,
says Pearson's Magazine, as one of the
most astounding proofs of Queen Vic
toria's vast intellectual attainments
that-in spite of all duties and respon-
sibilities, in spite of the fact that she
has devoted so much time to the study
of politics as to become one of the
greatest living authorities on the prac-
teal politics of Europe. she has yet so
completely mastered a most difficult
language that she has been able to
make it a custom to note the daily
events of her life in Hindustani, in a
diary kept for this special purpose, and
to speak the language with fiuency.
For more than ten years it has been
the queens custom to devote a part of
every day to instruction in the chief
language of her Indian subjects and in
enriching her mind with the intellect
ual treasure of the east
Her majesty has surprised many of
her Indian visitors by making unex-
pected observations in good Hindustani.
AS every one knows, she is almost in
variably attended upon, at home, by
one or more Of her faithful, picturesque
and courteous Indian servants But it
is not common knowledge that the
queen always speaks to her servants in
their native language. Nevertheless,
this is the case-however small the re-
mark, however important the COM
mand, whether it is a simple request
for a med! or a serious matter of state,
it is made in Hindustani.
Universal admiration has been eN-
pressed al the determination of the
queen, at an advanced age, not only to
learn to speak Hmdustani. but also to
take an interest in the literature of In
dia, and to-acquaint herself with the
ideas, wants and aspirations of her
oriental subjects in their own language.

KNIFE EMBEDDED IN A TREE.
an Indian More Than
Century Ago.

The finding of a knife that killed an
Indian rs years ago was recently
made under rather curious circum-
stances. While saving logs on the
Reynolds and Meter mill, at Hartman,
Randolph county, w. Va, the saw
came in contact with hard substance.
On examination it was found that the
saw had struck a knife that was i'm
bedded in log to a depth of lis years
growth, and which is supposed to have
been there LIS years
Jackson Summerville, an aged citi-
zen Of Hartman, says the knife is ex-
actly like the one which his father
often described to him when, as a
boy, he used to listen TO him tell about
the narrow escape he had at the hands
Of the Indians. His father was fleeing
from band of Indians one night, but
was Overtaken by one of them on top
of mountain, when a terrific hand-to-
hand encounter ensued. Summerville
succeeded in killing the Indian with
knife. 1t was late at night. and, not
knowing which way to go for safety,
he stuck the knife in tree and hid I'M
til morning, and then forgot the knife
until he had Travelled long distance
The tree in which the knife was found
the Indian was killed
The knife viii be deposited with the

ELOPED WITH A CoACHMAN.
The Old story of Heiress and Equine
Bureau Manager.
From the Chicago Tribune.

tives on a farm near here. They brought

The bride, Marie Aaltsz, is a daughter Of

oKLAHOMA'S SALT PLAINS.
An Immense Area of Territory Inches
Deep With Saline Dust.

Sixteen miles from Augusta, now as
Stunning importance as new railway ter
MUS, lies the smaller of the two great
salt plains of Oklahoma. Its area en-
braces nearly 100 square miles. Ii mea-
sures ten miles east and west across
its centre and twelve miles north and
south. The salt deposit is from one inch
to four inches deep. Its elevation Of 320
feet above the sea level is about the aver
age of Woods county. No trust seeks TO
control it, and the sun. which shines for
the poor as well as the rich. never en-
tirely shuts down its evaporating plant.
In the desert are saline springs, the source
of pools and lagoons where the water
spreads in the suns rays and passes away
in yapOr, leaving the salt deposit. The
shifting winds Of centuries have blown this
sat beyond the natural boundaries of the
pools, yet ten years show very little en-
croachment on the tillable land around.
During hot days one of the most active
springs deposits salt in the form of an ant
hill from the apex OF which a tiny stream
of saline water trickles down, leaving
scanned porous base. The action of the
wind completes the work and a column of
chlorate of sodium is formed, but does not
stand long. for the erosion continues and
the column soon breaks at the bottom and
falls. With true American perseverance
cess is repeated. This curiosity has its
archetype IN Holy Writ. Its 5obriquet OF
Lots Wife" however, does not prove
the hypothesis that it is an eXemplinca ton
Of the ancient pillar of salt which has
none of these suggestive repetitions.
When Lot found his wife transformed into
q pillar of salt he was wise enough to let
it go al that and not take fresh one.
Over the west county line in Woodward
County is another salt plain double the
size of the one near Augusta. Blocks of
salt cut in Woods County have been eX-
hibited in Augusta and Government tests
show them TO be IS per cent pure and pos
sessed Of the same properties and strength
as sea salt This saline product of tae
plains is too far from a railroad now TO be
valuable for commercial purposes, but pre-
, vious to the settlement OF the Cherokee
Strip hundreds of fat cattle grazed on the
nutritious buffalo grass which grew close
up TO the saline deposits; they were never
known to stray far. and cattlenEn came
from distance and Carted away big loads
of salt for herds grazing elsewhere.
On first sight the salt appears like
lake of shimmering water. The view in
spires a vision of foam crested waves rip
ping over the sand. In the days when
Oklahoma was known as the promised
Land" many an emigrant. plodding along
by a iaced team in the arid heat OF mid
summer. has seen one OF these two salt
, plains and shouted for joy. Expecting TO
hear liquid signs from tiny waves lap
ming idly against wet sand, nothing breaks
the silence of the linesome waste save the
crunch of booted feet in the dry salt.
Last December, while crossing the edge
