HAVE CALVES COME IN THE
FALL.
FALL.

Prof. Haze cker of Minnesota
offers the following reasons for
having fall calves. He says:
In the first place the COW will
give a larger yield of milk for
twelve months, if she comes in
the fail than if she comes in the
spring; in the second place, it
will cost less to rear the calf
during the first six months if it
is in the winter time than it
will in summer time; In the
third place, we must feed a
calf anyway from four to six
months, and we might as well
do that during the winter; then
in the spring it is let out to
pasture and you have no more
trouble with it. Therefore,
when your calf is a year old,
you have given it personal at
tentiou for from four to five
months, the balance of the time
il has taken care of itself.

GRIM SABLE ISLAND.

sable island belongs to
Nova Scotia, is 145 miles from
Halifax and IS miles east of
Cape Canso," writes Gustav
Kobbe in Ainslee's. 1T is a
treeless, shrubless waste, seam
ed by wind and wave and of
ever changing aspect. A cone
shaped hill near the east end,
once mere undulation of sand,
is now over 100 feet high and
is still growing Other hillocKs
are gradually being moved
away by storms. The hillocks
are liable to be undermined so
swiftly and swept out of exist
ence that they are care
fully watched from the various
stations on the island, there
being no certainty how far an
inroad of the sea will extend
after each successful attack.
Even the coarse grass of the
island grows in a different man
ner from that Of the mainland.
1t does not bear seed, but shoots
ND from roots which run along
under the sand. During the
winter the sand is blown over
the grass and buries it some.

tracted by the piteous whining
of his dog in front of a small,
open shelter known to have eX-
listed at that time, but long
since toppled to pieces. APP
preaching the shelter, he was
startled to see the igure of a
woman all in white and holding
toward him the bleeding stump
of forefnger. While he was
gazing at the apparation it rose,
silently glided past him and
dived into the sed. But time
and again thereafter the white
woman with bleeding toretinger
was seen wandering over the
sand hills.
1T is probably only part of
the weird legend that Captain
Torrens, feeling sure that a
shocking crime had been com.
tracked the guilty pi-
rate until he discovered his
family on the coast of Labrador
and learned that the ring had
been sold in Halifax. 1t is a
fact, however, that many years
after the disaster Lady Cope
lands ring was discovered in a
jewelry store III Halifax and
was returned to her family.
From that hour her ghost has
ceased to haunt the island"

MISSOURI STATEMUSICTEACH
ERS' ASSOCIATION.

ERS' ASSOCIATION.
The Missouri State Music
Teacher Association will hold
it's 9Th annual Convention at
Columbia, Mo-, June 10Th, 18th,
18th and 18th, 1900. This years
Convention promises to surpass
all former efforts of the Asso-
citation in the number of dele.
gates and in talent. There will
be several outside artists from
other States, one of the most
important being August Hylle-
sted, the celebrated pianist.
Mr.. Hyllested ranks among the
leading pianists of the world,
and is engaged for a recital
during the Convention. Very
nearly every artist of conse-
quence in Missouri will be there.
This Convention is especially
important to the Music Teach
ers of the State, as there are
several subjects for the good
music that will be discussed.
The Association is trying to
get a chair of music in the
State University and, with the
help Of President Jesse of the
University, who is very enthusi-
astic, the chances are it will
succeed. The Association is
trying to have a law passed,
which will. compel all towns of
over 1000 inhabitants to teach
music in their schools, the
teachers to pass an examina-
ton as public school music
teacher. Another important
subject which will come before
the Convention will be a law
requiring all teachers of music
to pass a State examination,
the same as is required of school
teachers or doctors.
Those who attend will hear
the very best music and papers
read on different musical sub
iects; also take part in the dis
cussions, while the concerts
alone are worth the trip to
Columbia.
The railroads have given a
hal fare rate all over the
State; the hotel rates are re-
d uced and the accommodations
in Columbia are as good as
in any city in the State. Other
things OF interest are the beau
tiGul buildings of the University
of Missouri, its Art Department,
its Library, it's Grand Recital
Hall or Theatre and the beauti.
full City of Columbia.
1t is not necessary to be mu.
sic teachers to attend the con-
certs at Columbia. Lovers of
music are invited, as their help
is needed. The Association is
trying to improve the class of
music taught and played by her
teachers. All members of the

Since then it has shrunk to but

in addition there is a petition for man
damus brought yesterday by JOS Vat
ter VS.. Melville e Smile to be heard.
This petition is brought to determine
whether Waiter is entitled to an alias
execution against Owen Miller, who
was surrendered last week by his
bondsmen, that his body might be
taken on execution as the plalntlll S
attorney claim.
The defendant who is clerk of the
court replies that he does not consider
that he has the right to issue an exc
cution because it has been more than
eight years since the judgment was
obtained and the original execution
levied. In the meantime Miller is
resting comfortably in the county jail
where he has been for the past ten
days. These five cases with the Gale
donna county case of Hardwick Savings
Bank and Trust CO. VS.. r., +. Drenan

Splendid Pictures,

A st. Johnsbury paper says of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. pictures: ",The
pictures are certainly the best ever

Yer and more distinct than any pre-

good one and the machine certainly
made the best of the opportunity.
Every move the men make from the
time they enter the ring until Fitz-
simomons is assisted out of it is
CLEARLY dipcted. The pictures are so
steady and distinct that even after
watching the entire fight the eyes do
not tire and no one is left with the
impression that he would like to see
