The Green Forest tribune., 1900-12-22

THE TRIBUNE is out day early this week in order to give the force chance to enjoy Christmas.
 Mrs. E. $. Foreman was called to Carrollton Tuesday on account oi the illness of her daughter, Miss Burnice, who has been attending school at that place.
 A new mail stage has been put on be- tween Green Forest and Eureka Springs. It accommodates the mail and six passengers. It is big load for four horses.
 Miss Thenie Collier, teacher of the primary departmentin in our public school, was taken ill with typhoid fever last Thursday and is confined to her room -Berryville Progress.
 FOR LE:-80-acre farm, 12 miles from Green Forest, near Missouri line. Good house, good spring; 25 acres in cultivation. Price $225, a genuine bar
  gain. See Carroll County Abstract Co.
 While en route from Batesville to Green Forest last week, H. H. Martin was made temporary cripple by horse falling upon him. He is able to get about now, however, and is recover ing rapidly.
 A barn on +. Stacy's farm, mile north of town, wa, burned about dark Saturday nieE3 building con- tained about asshels of corn belong ing to James Stacy, MT. Stacy's son, who resides on the place. The origin of the fire is mystery. Part of the corn was saved. No insurance.
 Hon. w. R. Phillips has received a number of inquiries from the Orient about the corn he sent to the Paris ex- position. It will be remembered that THE TRIBUNE made this collection for MT. Phillips last winter. The variety that attracted most attention was that grown by our townsman, 1. T. Shahan, on his farm south of town. Large grain dealers in France and Holland want to import it to those countries.
 Judge Warrington of the United States Land Office and c. M. Greene, Cashier of the Citizens Bank of Harri- son were at the Maine Saturday night. Judge Warrington has manifested desire to succeed himself as Register of the Land Office, while MT. Greene seeks the position of Receiver. THE TRIBUNE notes with pleasure that both of these gentlemen are receiving strong endorse ments and it looks now as if neither will have opposition.
 The State Missionary Board of the Arkansas Baptist Convention has noti- fled the Baptist Church of Green Forest of an appropriation of Si00 the board has made to assist in the payment of a pastors salary for 1901. The church has raised like sum for the same pur- pose and Deglnnlng Tn January the church will hold two meetings month, the first and third Sundays. It is ex- pected that a pastor will be chosen at the first meeting in next month.
 Here are two items that demonstrates the profit in raising hogs in this country. Will Fry sold 28 six-months-old pigs last Monday that averaged 110 pounds each. He received $2.60 hundred, thus realizing $80.08 from bunch of shoats that he had scarcely given any attention. Lace Pendley recently sold g 7-months shoats which averaged 215 pounds each, which marketed at $2.65, realized him the sum of $5i.27. The industrious farmer need not starve in this country.

spurious Butter in massaohu.ett..

George M. Whitaker, acting execu-
tive officer of the Dairy Bureau of
Massachusetts, says:
Natural butter has been higher in
price during the past year than for a
number of previous years, which has
been a temptation to crowd the sales
of the spurious article. Further than
that, the number of manufacturers
who have been pushing their goods in
Massachusetts has increased. When
the national supreme court rendered
its now famous Plumley decision. sus-
tanning the constitutionality of the
a%nti-color law, the large Chicago
manufacturers withdrew from Massa-
chusetts. They said that. whatever
might be their opinion of the law
they could not afford to stand before
the community as lawbreakers. AS a
result of this decision, all of the cous-
terfeit butter that came into Massa-
chusetts for several years was made
in Rhode Island, by companies hear
ing the names-somewhat peculiar for
the business in which they were en-
5@SSu NSAmoHt anu
During the past year the greed of gain
has led two large Chicago manufactur-
ers to climb sheepishly down from the
pedestal of virtue on which they had
been posing, and enter the scramble
for dollars by defying the laws OF the
commonwealth. These large manufac-
turers have made cities and towns in
other states near the Massachusetts,
line the base of their operations, and
in many instances have resorted to
tricks that would bring a blush OF envy
to h average kitchen barroom pro-
prietor.

have trouble with his left ear again,
but the bee incident had happened 50

Mr.. Geisler began to realize that his

Finally he decided to consult a doc

He washed the ear, and probed it for
ar hour or more, when suddenly he
pulled out az shining thing that had
for all the world the appearance of an
insect. Whats this?" said the opera

physician looked more closely at his

them royal-ever since the time of
Henry VIII, to whom Cardinal Wolsey
gave this wonderful palace he had
built. Henry VIII. lived there with all
six of his wives in succession, and 1t is
their ghosts that have been making
most of the trouble ever since.
The latest appearance was recorded a
few days ago by an artist who has been
working for some time in what is
called the Great Hall of the palace
the Hall where Milton is supposed to
have played the organ before Cromwell

pestries that date back to the fifteenth
century and are valued at over $40, 900.

whiteness, with long tapering fingers,
one of them ornamented with a superb
marquise ring. The artist seems to

tirely ignored any tender or flattering

been a poet as well. The impression
that the interruption was i'll consid-
cred and a case for strong protest was
the only one that had any weight with
him. He knew that in making such a
complaint he should have proof. and
so, on one of the appearances of the
aristocratic hand he made a hasty
sketch Of it and the ring, which is of
curious design and great beauty. Armed
with this in%disputable evidence, he
went to the Hampton Court authorities
and registered his decided objection to
such goings-on, suggested that imme-
date steps be taken to LAY" the ghost,
whose rank. he explained, was nothing
to him, and affirming most positively
that unless such action could be taken
against the spiritual visltant as to in
duce her to return to her resting place
in the Tower vaults, he would be
obliged to give up all attempts to con-
tinue his copies of the tapestry.

Many a man has a bee in his bonnet,
but John Geisler, a Chicago hog brok-
err, is probably the only man in tho
world who ever let a real live bee get
in actual touch with the inside of his
head, a y the Chicago Chronicle. I'm
til a few days ago a bee had been im4
bedded in his left ear for over twenty
eight years, and when it was removed
last week the highly colored insect
was found to be perfectly preserved,
and Mr.. Geisler, when he saw it, vivid
ly recalled the day of his youth out IN
a Kansas farm when the bee flew in to
entomb itself in the recesses of his
auricular organ, there to become en-
balmed. While Mr.. Geisler was a
young man working on a farm near
Baldwin City he disturbed a bees nest
and a bee entered his ear. He had the
ear treated by a doctor, and as the
pain did not continue many days he
thought the dead bee must have pass

About Birds.

A contributor to Popular Science
writes that year after year a discarded
tin teapot hanging on a back porch OF
a house is occupied as a nest by wrens,
who seem wholly Indifferent TO the
constant movements of the family
about the spot.
Another odd nesting place men
toned is a half %cocoanut shell in a
poplar tree in st. Paul. MINI. The
the nest was the home of a robin
family. A less discreet robin built his
nest on the top of a 2x4 rafter lean
ing against the side of a house. The
family cat watched the nest with deep
interest, and when the eggs were
Matched and the young birds about to
fly appropriated the entire brood with
a relish.
Every lover of birds has wondered
why they change their colors. Even
o~rnithologists are unable to answer
the questions why the tanager is scar
let in summer and green in winter, or
why the bobolink is black and white
in summer and buff in winter. The
well-known fact that the brilliant
orange color of some canaries can be
%artifcially produced by adding red
pepper to the diet may furnish a hint
that the different foods procurable in
the different seasons may be respon-
sible for the change.
The feathers already covering the
bird are not affected by the diet. but
when melting occurs the new plumage
comes in with a new tinting.

whose color is brownish buff in win
ter and black and white in summer.
the change is said to be due to the
abrasion of the terminal parts of the
feathers, which are differently colored
from the bases and much more brittle.
A birds body feathers, says the writer
in Popular Science, are arranged like
shingles on a roof, only the terminals
being visible. AS they give the color
effect, it follows that, since the base
Of the plumage is differently colored

A Russian Inventor, X. Danilewsky,
has recently experimental, under gov
eminent auspices, with a flying ma
chine which combines the lifting pow
er of a balloon with something resem-
bling wing action. The balloon is
shaped like a projectile, and is small,
being filled with pure hydrogen. It's
ascensional force is sufficient to leu
tralize the weight of the %aeronaut and
the apparatus. Tho latter consists of
a system of movable ae%roplanes and a

Poultry Notes.

The cheapest food for poultry is not
always the best. In fact on the ordi-
nary American farm it is seldom the
best. We remember one farmer that
purchased a sitting of Buff Cochin
eggs. He put them under a hen and in
due time got two chicks from them,
one a male and the other a female
chick. The birds grew rapidly, though
their only feed was corn. In due time
the hen began to lay or tried to lay.
She was so fat that the attempt to
pass the first egg killed her. Without
doubt If she had been fed on a nitro
genous ration all would have been
well. The farmer hat had that ex-
perience did not again try to raise Buff
Cochins, as he believed the death CT
the hen was due to her breed rather
than her feed.

The friends of the plan to convert
Indian lands In Northern Minnesota
into a national park are much ncour-
aged by the reception 1t has received
at the hands of representatives. A fa-
vorable report by the house commit
tee on Indian affairs, which says IN
part: The headwaters of the Missis-
sippi are now protected by national
g%orests, and this protection is threat
ened by lumbermen, who wish to re-
move the pine. In France vast sums
of money are now being expended in
reforesting the mountains which have
been denuded and where the gravelly
soil has begun to wash down into and
destroy the valleys below. Enormous
sums are expended to restore these
mountains to their natural conditions
as nearly as may be. In Northern New
York the state has acquired a large
area of the Adirondacks in order to
preserve the waters of the Hudson,
and has expended nearly $4,000, 900 for
that purpose. If the timber around
the headwaters of the Mississippi liz
entirely removed the government will
no doubt hereafter be called upon to
restore 1t as nearly as possible to the
original state and TO expend a much
larger sum than is now necessary to
preserve 1t in that condition. Large
amounts have already been laid out
for the creation of reserves in that To-
rnI4fy En- nrawant rraof a0ode II 4ha
spring and to preserve a supply of
water for midsummer and fall. We
cannot afford to have the lands around
the headwaters of our great rivers de-
forested and made barren.
