Just over the town line. She had been

time. when. according 10 the evidence

following out the usual custom Of pre-
pairing the body for its final resting

were surprised and not little .horri-

house was at once transformed from
one of mourning everyone doing all in
his power to revive the lady and bring
her back 10 her consciousness. Mrs.
Edwards lived for several days. at the
end OF which time she died and was
buried with the usual ceremonies. The

HELPED THE CHEF.
How . Loyal Engineer Did His Broth.
er Great Service.

Meadville, Pa, Nov. &c. 1900.-(Spe-
cial. THE Loyalty of the Members OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers is proverbial. a circumstance
occurred in this city some days ago,
which emphasizes this feeling.
Frank j. Zeller is Chief of the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
No. 143. He is extremely popular
among his fellow railway men, and
one of the best known Engineers run
ming out Of Meadville. When the an
nouncement was made a short time
ago that Frank was pretty sick. it
caused a great deal OF regret among
the BOYS. Soon he was missed from
his engine, having had TO lay OF
on account OF his back. A brother OF
the brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers. who had been i'll with similar
symptoms, some time before. and who
had been pulled through. called TO see
Mr.. Zeller. and in a brotherly way,
took with him box OF Dodd's Kidney
Pills, the Remedy which had cured
him. He advised Mr.. Zeller TO try
them. with the result that after seven
boxes had been used. he was entirely
we'll, anI able to work.
In an interview Mr.. Zeller states:
II had suffered for four years with
this affection. being often kept awake
at night with pains, and at times un
able TO work. tried several OF the
advertised remedies, and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally

SHREDDED CORN FODDER.
its Value as a Dairy Ration md beef
Producer II Recognized BY
Many Authorities.

Corn fodder is very unsatisfactory
material to handle in the stable unless
1t has been thoroughly treated and re-
duced to fragments. Shredding obvi-
ates all the trouble and whatever
waste there is is excellent for bed
ding
The shredded corn stalks for feeding
purposes should vary according to
Prof. Henry according TO the char
acter of the fodder used and the ami
mails to which il is fed. At the Kansas
station the slower was cut in lengths
varying from one to two inches. In
stead of most of the cut fodder being
consumed by the cows there was an
average waste of 81 per cent. Of all
the cut fodder. and the conclusion was
naturally reached that the great value
of shredding fodder over the small,
sharp cut pieces is that there are no
sharp edges TO cut the mouths Of the
cattle eating 1t.
Prof. Henry. in his work in Wis
consin found very satisfactory results
by the use of shredded fodder. In some
OF his trials the same amount of grain
or hay was fed to each lot Of cows on
trial and he found saving of "a per
cent. of the corn forage by using II in
the shredded form. The same writer
also found that in rearing calves in
tended for beef production corn stover
should constitute part o. the rough
ness, and he also found very .satisfac-
tory gains were made in using slower
during the fattening period of steers.

A Detroit man, whose wife was coming to
San Francisco on a visit, accompanied her
as far as Chicago and put her on the overland
train. Before leaving her he gave the porter
half of five dollar bill that he had torn in
two, telling the man that his wife had the
other half and would give it TO him at the
end OF the journey if she were properly
looked after. When he got home he found
he had neglected TO give his wife the other
half of the torn bill. and few days later he
received letter from his wife reminding
him Of the fact, and saying she had torn
dollar bill in two and given half OF It TO the
porter. Somewhere along the line there
must be a wildeyed darby with the halves
Of two worthless bills in his possession and
a firm conviction that he has been worked
by some sort Of new fimham game. Mean
while, the Detroit man is anxious to ind out
what sort of reasoning his wife used wnen
she gave that porter half instead OF the
whole of that one dollar bill.-San Francisco
