Andreas Lachapa of Mesa Grande,
CAL, is, as nearly as we can guess, 100
years old. The old Indians date all
events from the battle of San Pasqual,
in 1916. At that time his sons were
men. High above the valley upon
overlooking hills Lachapa heard the
thunder Of the heavy guns and the
sharp crack of rifles, and the next day
saw the dead men. There were many.
The Spaniards told him to fight the
'Gringos, but he was afraid of the ter
rible noise.
Though his eyes are so dim, Lachapa
is looking for his son., Jesus Lachapa,
who left him twenty-five years ago.
and would now be about so years old.
Never a day but the old man looks for
the absent son, whom he hopes to find
before he dies.
Lachapa has known three conditions
of life. When he .was a young man he
hunted deer, brought it home across
his shoulders, cut, roasted and ats 1T,
then danced and slept.
I'VE hunted rabbits and met the
Santa Ysabels and fought" he says.
I'VE always fought. But when the
desert Indians came to rob us we all
united and killed them. You can. see
their empty houses IN the desert.
Then the father came, and we did

not know better, and we killed him,
and We are sorry-sorry. Then We
learned to pray and bless ourselves.
We planted corn and squash and! the
land was ours. Now the white men
are here. They give us coffee and SUI
gar, and we wear clothes and know
many things. Yes, l am glad they

Poor old Andras and his little
Guadeloupe, his wife, have never asked

and gather seeds and acorns. Though:

SERVICE IN THESENATE

who succeeded Carl Schurz, has been a
senator since 1876, and Mr.. Vest, who
succeeded Gen. Shields. has been q SEN
ator since 1879, twenty-five years and
twenty-one years respectively. Sena-
tor Vests term has three years to run.
and that of. Senator Cockrell five.
A small state which has been very
tenacious in the support Of its senate
rial representatives is Nevada, Sena-
tor Jones having been first elected In
1873-about co%incident with "the crime
of '73," of which much has been heard
in Nevada-and Senator Stewart hav-
ing been first. elected in 1864, thirty
six years ago. He was reelected in
1869, but retired after. sixteen years OF
service to re-enter the senate in 1887.
since which he has served consecu-
lively, and has been reelected for an
other term, at the conclusion Of which
he will have had eighteen years OF
consecutive service and twenty-nine
years Of actual service, with only one
break. Senator Chandler Of New
Hampshire has been in Office since
1887. Senator Sewell Of New Jersey
was first elected in 1881, but has not
been c~onsecutively in the senate. Sen
ator Aldrich of Rhode Island has been
a senator since 1881. He succeeded
Gen. Burnside. Senator Bate Of Ten
nessee was elected in 1887. Senator
Daniel of Virginia in 1887, succeeding
Gen. Malone.
It is usually to be observed that,
with the conspicuous exception Of Mis-
souri,, it is the smaller states which
adhere to the policy Of successive re-
elections for their senators. 1t is found
usually that a senator Of long expert
ence can be Of more service politically
to his constituents than who is
less familiar with the conditions of
Washington life, and in small states
the importance Of federal patronage is
not to be moderated.

Story Of the Minuet..
There is an interesting story told Of
the minuet, which is, perhaps, the most
popular ,of, all P~aderewski's compost
tions. Paderewski. while a professor
at the C~onservatoire Of Warsaw. was
one evening at the house Of the Polish
poet. Swicztochowski, who expressed
the opinion that no living composer
could compare with Mozart ID, beauty
and simplicity. At the moment Pa
derewski merely shrugged his shout

his host a. little thing Of Mozart's
which perhaps he did not know. He
played the minuet. Saskatchewan

written IN our time!" Well" said

There are ninety United States SEN
ators, and of the present senate TWEEN
ty-four members have served more
than twenty years. The recent success
at the Democratic primaries in Ala
bama Of John T. Morgan insures him
another term. He took his seat in the
senate March s, 1877, and at the con-
clusion of his next term will have been
thirty-two years c~onsecutively in Office
as senator from Alabama.
Senator Jones Of Arkansas will have
eighteen years in the senate to his
credit OF the completion of his term in
1903. Senator. Teller of Colorado first
entered the upper house in 1876, and
his present term does not expire until
1908; but he resigned in 1882 to become
secretary of the interior. an Office
which he held for three years, at the
close of which he vas returned to con
gress. MI. Plat of Connecticut has
been more than twenty-one years a
senator; his colleague, Senator Haw-
ley, has been in the senate. nineteen
years; Senator Cullom, whose term ex-
pires March next, and whose successor
the next Illinois legislature will
choose, has had seventeen years of
service, while Senator Allison of Iowa
became a senator in 1873 and has been
continually in that office for twenty
seven years, and his term has still
three years to rum. Senator Frye of
Maine was chosen nineteen years ago,
and his colleague, Senator Hale, was
chosen at the same time. Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts was elected in
1877 and has held his seat continuous
ly since then. Senator Davis of Min
nesota was elected in 1877, and the two
Missouri senators, 'Cockrell and Vest,
are both veterans in service, any proj-
ect to replace either with a new man
being regarded in Missouri as little
short Of revolutionary. Mr.. Cockrell.

Reporter lent In the Wrong Card.

Reporter Sent In the Wrong Card
An official of the supreme court was
puzzled by q card sent in to him by a.
desperate newspaper man Monday.
April so, when the arguments on the
kentucky government case began. The
court room was full Of sightseers, and
the overflow extended In a long line
down the corridor. The reporter tried
to get in ahead of the line, and was
stopped. He protested.
"Shall these rubbernecks be let in to
m%oropolize the supreme court room
when II, q newspaper man, ordered
to report the case, am kept out?" he
exclaimed.
''Them's ORDERS" said the ancient
colored nan at the door.
OFF rushed the reporter to the court
marshal's office. He yanked out his
wallet, and, seeing a card in 1t, wrote
on the back:
my editor orders me to report the
Kentucky Ease today. Must he ad-
mitted: can't wait for the crowd"
In a moment the answe came back,
and his card with it: "No ROOM"
The reporter looked at the card he
had sent in and blushed. He had by
mistake, given the attendant not his
own, but the card of q manager Of q
troupe Of ballet and variety perform
ers.-Washington Letter.

Mr.. Goodrich-Corp meal and bran;
the reason for that Is that there Is
enough protein in pasture grass.
Q.-Do you think that you can form
a good opinion Of the value Of a dairy
COW By purchasing her and taking her
away from her old surroundings, and
putting her into new and strange con-
ditions?
Mr.. Goodrich-That depends on the
kind of surroundings she has had: II
she has been owned by ZONE progress
i've man that has kept her under ideal
conditions she might not do we'll in
her new quarters. but II she is taken
from ordinary conditions into my
place she will be 50 well satisfied in q
few days that she will do her best.
Q.-Do you think that it is prudent
to feed a breeding COW corn meal?
MI. Goodrich-That depends On what
the rest of the ration is. II she is get
ting timothy hay and corn stalks and
silage I would say not, but II she Is
getting clover or alfalfa you can bal
ance it by feeding some corn meal. I
never feed clear corn meal. 8
Q.-How is oat meal?
Mr.. Goodrich-Oat meal is q good
feed.
Q.-What about gluten feed?
Mr.. Goodrich think it is all right.
Q.-If you find that a COW is getting
fat do you continue to give her o r
meal?
MI. Goodrich do not: I give her
more of the protein feeds.
On feeding gluten feed. have you
ever had trouble with the udder get
ting hard?
MI. G~oodrich-No, sir: and we have
fed as high as five pounds of gluten
feed per day.
Q.-How much wheat bran is it safe
to feed? e
Mr.. Goodrich do not think that
you are likely to feed enough bran to
do any damage.

Properly Matched Chicks.-When an
incubator is used; be sure and see that
the chicks r properly Matched.
Poorly-hatched chicks are of little
value, and you never know whether
they are going to live or die. The
good hatch may be obtained by paying
attention to every detail. The tenn
perature must not be too high nor too
low; the, supply Of moisture must be
right and the amount of ventilation
must not be too great. Miscalcula-
lions in these regards will result In
weak chicks that cannot be developed
at q profit.

LITTLE GIRL AND BIG MAN.

PiucIky Little. Maiden Put Him to

Pluck Little Maiden Put Him to
Flight.
Bessie Holloway, a thdrteen-year-old
school girl, put a big burglar to fight
from her home last night with her
fathers big revolver. Her parent was
sick in bed. and she did not wish to d1s-
turb him, SO she tiptoed to the Kitchen,
where she had heard someone rummag-
ing about, and, pointing the revolver
directly at the intruder, said, In . COM
handing voice:
"Run!"
In making a precipitate exit, the
man broke through q window. me
noise aroused MI. Holloway, who came,
down stairs, and was greeted by MS
child with the expression:
"Well, maybe he didn't run, though"
She is a mere child in appearance,
and is very bashful over her exploit.
seeming to regard it as a matter OF
course, the only thing for a dutifui
daughter to do when her father was
sick in bed and ought not to be dis
turbed by any noise or connection.
In n%arrating her story Of the exploit.
she said:
"Papa was sick ard sleeping, oh, SO
quietly, and I was in his room all
alone, and then l heard somebody.
down stairs, and I knew they ought
not to be down there, and there had
been SO many bad men breaking into
houses that l thought they had come
to take our things, and l did not want
papa to be troubled. I took his Etgt
pistol on the mantle, and tiptoed' down
to the dining room in my bare feet.
and there was a very big man peerlng,
into the pantry.
There was enough light to tell that
he was a very big man, but I drew the
revolver up with both hands, and said.
RUM, just as loud as I could, and he
turned and looked ut me so Quick it"
frightened me, but he ran away
through the window, and I was glad OF
it, for I really did not want to'hurt the
man, for he might have been'only hum
gry."
OF course, Bessie is the hero of the
village, and, while she bears. her hon
ors nodestly, her father will talk for
her, and says she is the bravest little
girl in the world.-Fenton (Mo.) Dis

Horses for EuroDe,

The German trade does not require
either an impossible or an ideal horse,
suited to all purposes; but it does de-
mand good horses Of every kind, thor
oughly prepared for their special work.
A horse to bring a remunerative price,
either for home or foreign service, must
NIL a distinct place, i. e., he must be
a good Of his kind, whether he be
a cavalry horse, a draft horse, a car
riage horse, a trotter, a hunter, a polo
pony or what kind soever The stan
dard by which good horses are judged
is practically the same on both CONT
nents. A good horse in America is a
good horse in Europe provided he fills
a distinct want In the business of the
country. In Europe horses pull carts,
cabs, omnibuses, coaches, trans,
plows, etc., and carry men on their
backs. Thus they need horses of all
breeds, for no one breed can possibly
fill all of these requirements s~atisfac-
torily.
Great Britain-Ninety per cent of all
horses shipped to this country are
utait horses, ABOUT Z per cent are
high-class coachers, and 3 per cent
trotting and light carriage horses.
Germany-Ninety-fve per cent of all
the horses shipped to Hamburg are
draft horses. weighing 1900 pounds or
upward, the other s per cent being
made up of high-class carriage, run
ming, and trotting horses. Most of the.
latter are reshipped to Austria. =.
France-About IS per cent Of the
horses exported to this country are
b are termed cabbers. The other
Is per cent are about equally divided
between draft horses and trotters.
a Belgium-About 2 per cent Of those
sent to Antwerp are trotting or light
buggy horses. % per cent street car
horses, weighing 1000 pounds, and rs
per cent draft horses. weighing 1000
pounds and upward.
