at our first meal there we asked for

Besides, we wanted to see how that

heath, anyway. But TO all our requests,
couched in our best scholastic German,
the waiter shook his head. Like many
another prophet, the Hamburg steak
was apparently without honor in it's
own country. At all events, our waiter
hadn't heard of it. oh, WELL we said,

IMPROVING CATTLE.

One of the gratifying features Of the
the increasing large number of those
engaged in producing commercial cat
tie who appear as buyers of pure bred
bulls. We do not mean by this that
they show up as pure chasers of ST.
500 sires. This kind of cattle falls
into the hands of breeders who al
ready have excellent pure bred herds
and who seek to carry the work of
Improvement still further forward in
them. The breeders of common
cattle are purchasing pure bred bulls
of what may be called the useful kind,
from the beefmakers standpoint. The
bulls are good individuals and with
out fault in their pedigrees and in
spite of the increased demand of the
season for improved breeding animals
the overs Of commercial herds are
buying their bulls very reasonably.
More of them do so. If they do not
keep COWS enough to warrant buying
a good bull, two or more neighbors
who in the aggregate do keep enough
should join in the purchase. If all
over a given section, a good pure
bred bull was owned in each thirty
cows, the cattle of that section would
in few years attain reputation
that would make them desired and at
prices we'll toward the top. 1t would
be a profitable thing not only for the
individual producers of the cattle, but
it would be a public benefit by reason
of the standing it would give to the
product of the section in the general
markets.

While the pure bred pig may be
the best for the fancy breeder and
represents the highest standard, the
cross of thoroughbred on common
stock will give the best results in
ordinary farming, says writer in an
exchange. This is matter that leaves
little room for doubt, and the most
successful farmers make the most by
judiciously crossing in this way. The
thoroughbred does not in one case in
hundred possess all those qualities
of hardness and power of growth es-
sential to general use. A good deal
of the fancy stock is anything but
suited to ordinary farmers needs, and
it is mistake for any except a pro-
fessional breeder to attempt to handle
them alone. There is, of course, a
difference in the fancy breeds for
crossing, and one must certainly use
good judgment in this work.

Sleep will do much to cure irritable

Sleep will do much to cure irritable
ity of temper, peevishness, and I'M
easiness. 1t will restore vigor to an
overworked brain. It will build up
and make strong a weak body. 1t will
cure a headache. 1t will cure a bro
ken spirit. It will cure a sorrow.
Indeed, we make a long list of nervous
and other maladies that sleep will
cure. The cure of sleeplessness re-
quires clean, good bed, sufficient
exercise to promote WEAKNESS,
pleasant occupation, good air, and not
too warm a room; a clear conscience,
and avoidance of stimulants and
narcotics. For those who are over
worked, haggard, nervous, who pass
sleepless nights, we commend the
adoption of such habits as will secure
sleep, otherwise life will be short, and

LADIES' COLUMN
ALMOST CRIMINAL.

1t is almost criminal, says an ex-
change, for a mother o. to rear her
daughter in absolute ignorance of all
domestic duties, no matter how
wealthy one may be. Chance and
change often play sad havoc with
ones seemingly settled affairs, and
the daughter of the wealthiest. parents
may be reduced to the necessity of
earning her own living, or of taking
entire charge of the domestic affairs
Of her own house.
A philanthropic woman who spends
most of her time among the poor and
unfortunate, came across a young
woman who was the victim of this
lack of wisdom on the part of her
parents. She was married, and thad
three little children, when her par
ents and her husband lost every dol
lar they had through an unfortunate
investment. The young husband was
forced to accept position as clerk
on small salary, and the young wife
was compelled. to assume duties of
which she was absolutely ignorant.
81 never baked a loaf of bread in
my life," she said. ''I never did any
thing in a kitchen. don't know how
to broil a steak or toast a slice of
bread. I don't know how to wash
dishes Or sweep room properly. I
don't know how to run a sewing
machine or how to sew"
1t was too true. Fortunately she
was not lacking in force of character,
vain and foolish as her training had
been. Moreover, she loved her hus-
band and her children, and was eager
to make the most of the situation in
which she found herself. What if she
had not been thus inclined? What if
she had been unwilling or incapable
of adapting herself to her change
condition? A wretched home would
have been the result, and the respon-
sibility would have rested-where?
Let the mothers and daughters who
read this answer.
1t is criminal to rear daughter in
ignorance of the duties she must as

pect it will be.-HousehoId.

ALE DEFINED.
A Witness Against Senator
Clark Gives His Views.

Washington, Jan. S.-Former State
Senator Whiteside of Montana contin-
ued his testimony in the Clark sena-
torial case before the senate committee
on privileges and elections today. He
was cross examined by ex-senator
Faulkner. The examination brought
out the fact that Mr.. Whiteside as a
member of committee to investigate
the state capitol commission had made
a minority report charging corruption.
He was asked if this was the case in
which he had suggested to J. P. Nc
Cabe that this minority report could
be suppressed for $500 but denied that
such was the case, saying he paid over
so as to enable him to turn it in with
his report He said that his sole pur-
pose in undertaking the exposure of
bribery in the legislature, that elected
Mr.. Clark, was to protect the good name
of the state.
I desired" he said, ito have some
one accept the money so as to expose
the methods of Mr.. Clark
Did you become a friend of Mr..
Clark's friends for the purpose of en-
trapping them?"
did,
In doing this, did not you know YOU
We're assuming an attitude of misrepre-
sentation?"
L did,
Was this not a position of false
hood?"
L can't say as to that but had to
make a number of Misrepresentation"
What do you consider lie?"
Il consider a lie a misstatement to
one who has right to know the truth
not to one who has no right to know
Mr.. Whiteside said he did not see how
any honest man could vote for Mr.
Clark after the exposure of the COM
mittee on investigation and added I'M
der pressure that the remark applied
who cast their votes for that gentle
man. He said in reply to a question
that Marcus DAILY was an acquaintance
of his, not friend, though he should be
glad to have him for a friend.
Have you received $35. 600 for this
pretended exposure?" asked Mr.. Faux
ner.
I have not received $4,000 or any
other sum for that service" the wit
ness replied.
Relating to his conversation held with
Senator Clark prior to the latter's cleo
ton, he said that he was positive that
Mr.. Clark himself had said among other
things that State Senator Anderson
could not be Influenced with money like
some of the other members and that
this statement was not made by Mr.
Welcome, as appeared in the printed
report of his testimony before the
grand jury of Lewis and Clark county.
The witness said the money to pay
for the present prosecution has been
raised by subscription and he under
stood that Mr.. Daily was one of the
subscribers to the fund. The cross-ex-
animation further brought out that the
witness had no personal knowledge of
bribery in the case of three of the mem
bers of the assembly who had been re-
ferred to.
At noon the committee took a recess
until 2:30 p. m.

SHELDON TO LECTURE.
Given an Eight Months Leave Which
He viii Spend Travelling.

Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon of the Cen
trail Congregational has been given an
eight months leave of absence which he
viii spend in lecturing both in Europe
and the United States.
At the close of the services Sunday
morning Mr.. Sheldon asked the congre-
cation to remain as he had something
of Importance to speak about; he then
made his request for a leave of absence
and told of the urgent petitions he has
from all over the country for lectures.
He has even received requests from
Australia. and the Sandwich Islands
When Mr.. Sheldon had finished speak
ing Mr.. L. D. Whittemore made short
talk in which he moved that Mr.. Shell
don be given leave of absence as it
would be very selfish for the church to
stand in his way and deprive others of
the benefits which they enjoy all of the
time; the motion was unanimously car
ried.
Mr. Sheldon's leave of absence will
begin in May, and in July he will go to
London to attend the meeting of the
International Christian Endeavor Soci-
ETY.. He will travel in Europe for two
months and the remainder of the time
he will lecture in America.
