And schaefer Settled.

Wizard Jake Schaefer, the expert bill
HARDEST, is known as one of the greatest
jokers in the business, says the New York
World. Some time ago Mr.. Schaefer was
longing in an uptown billiard room.
Business was dull, but a pompous chap
came in and asked the proprietor to get
some one who was pretty good" to play
with him for an hour or two. The wink
was tipped to the wizard" and he was
introduced, but purposely his name was
mumbled so that the gentleman did not
catch II. Mr.. Schaefer and his new &c
quaintance commenced play, the latter
graciously allowing the expert to choose
the game. Jake won every game by a
few points. The style of billiards was
changed, but at straight rail, cushion car
rooms or baik-line the wizard" invariably
finished in The lead. Realizing that he had
met a pretty good player" the gentleman
asked:
''Beg pardon, but did not understand
your name" IT'S Schaefer" answered
the wizard" The other laughed: "Well,
that's a good one; mine is Ives-Frank c.
Ives They kept on playing and the bar
bill grew TO goodly proportions. Then the
pompous chap said he would play one
more game and then quit. But before be-
ginning the last game he excused himself
for a moment. and as no particular at
tention was paid to his movements, the
roomkeeper sull has the bill on his slate as
a reminder of the little joke"

This is a story which Represent tai tive
Eddy, of Minnesota, tells on himself. Mr.
Eddy not only enjoys the situation when
the laugh is turned against him, but has
a sense of humor which leads him to
start the laugh sometimes himself, says
the Washington Star
In making the campaign in my district
one year" said Mr.. Eddy Il took aong
as an attraction a veteran of the War Of
1872 and Of the Civil War, who was a
famous hand at beating the drum. He was
a drummer from away back, and could
arouse a whole township. Drum music
is an incendiary kind OF thing anyhow
and the old captains drumming was par
ticularly stirring.
Wei, one night, after the captain s
drum had given the usual overture COM
menced my speech to the populace which
had been lured TO the scene of his drum.
l noticed at the foot of the rostrum, the
same being a big dry goods box, bright
eyed little fellow about u years old, who
sat through the speech, following me with
great attention. 1t pleased me very much
Any fool can interest an audience of
adults, but it takes a genius to hold a
child. a-
80, after the speaking, I went down
and spoke to the little fellow, and after
shaking hands with him asked me how he
liked my speech.
Oh 1t will do he said. but if was
you l would keep the captain a drummln'
all the time

Perry Belmont and Mrs. Henry T. Sloan,
of New York, were married almost before
the ink was dry on the divorce which sep
arated the lady from her former husband.
Shortly thereafter Bishop Potter preached
a strong sermon against the marriage of
divorced persons SO pointed was the ser
mon that it was the sensation of day in
New York. Nevertheless the other day,
when the Bishop returned home from his
trip around the world, Mr. and Mrs. Bel
mont were among those who attended a
reception to welcome him, and the Bishop
had long chats with both of them And
now this incident is causing a good deal
of comment among New Workers.

The Logic of n ryrnnt.

The courtier Frustrated himself before
the Dowager Empress, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
What have you learned concerning
this reformer -Foo-Ping?" inquired
the grand old woman.
Il have learned, your imperial ineffabil-
ity that he is a man of dangerous popu-
larity whom IT would be well to let alone"
You think it safer, eh? And why?"
Because, madam, he has a wise young
head on his shoulders"
The Empress laughed contemptuously.
Bah" she said, II can easily remove
that objection"
And turning slightly she beckoned to
the imperial headsman.

1t would be rather queer if President
Mckinley, the head of the Republican
party, should furnish one of the strongest
planks TO be put into the Democratic Ma
tional platform that will be constructed
at Kansas City, nevertheless Democratic
opinion seems to be drifting strongly in
the direction of that very thing. The
plank in question would be as follows:
"Our plain duty is to abolish all customs
tariffs between the United States and
Porto Rico and give her products access
ito our markets"

The plan of disposing of the city's garb-
age by hauling it by rail TO a safe dis
tance, which is now receiving considera-
ton, is one that the Morning News has
for long time favored and advocated.
BY hauling the stuff away it may be made
valuable for filling in low places, and some
part of it may be used as fertilizer, where
as under the crematory system the garb-
age all went to waste, besides which the
city was put to expense for fuel with
which to burn 1t.

Washington correspondents who have
kept close track of the Quay case predict
that he will be seated next Tuesday, with
five or six votes to spare. The seat which
he has occupied for twelve years has been
kept open for him, so that on Wednes-
day 1t is likely that he will be in it again
The seating of Quay will be one more
illustration of the fact that precedents
are good only until they are set aside.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record says that Representative
Lentz of Ohio is the only man in Congress
who maintains a regular press bureau,
with agent and business manager, to
keep him before the public in the most
favorable light. These press men no doubt
earn every penny of their pay, Whatever
it may be. since Mr.. Lentz is continually
doing something to put himself in an I'M
favorable light.

hour. In order to get the maximum
amount of work out of the mill in the
way of feed grinding, it is necessary to
provide large bin above the grinder,
in which the grain to be ground can be
placed, and then have this arranged
in such way that the grain feeds d.
rectly into the mill whenever the mill
isrunning. With this arrangementmust
also of course be provided bin into
which the ground meal can fall out of
the way of the grinder. Such an ar
rangement is shown by the cut, taken
from the Wisconsin agricultural expert
melt station bulletin No. SO. The
grinder there shown is arranged d.
rectly on the driving shaft of 12-foot
geared windmill, and upon the same
shaft is shown driving pulley, to
which belt may be attacked for the
purpose of saving wood or driving any
other piece of machinery which the
mill has the capacity of handling. This
driving pulley can be used to drive
machine set anywhere on the eircum-
ference of circle surrounding the
shaft and without disturbing the feed
grinder; it only being necessary to
throw the grinder out of use when the
driving shaft is desired for some other
purpose.-F. H. King, in Rural New

A HAUNTED APPLE TREE.
A Murder Committed Under 1t and
Now Its Fruit Is Streaked
Blood Red.

ut is probable that to the town Of
Douglass, Mass, alone belongs the rep
utation of having a haunted apple
tree" writes Samuel S. Kingdom in
the Ladies' Home Journal. 1.-THE ira
dition of the town is that foul MUIR
der was committed in the orchard
many years ago. and that since then
it has been haunted by the spirit of
the victim. AS the story goes, ped
dler, whose custom it was to sell goods
from house to house from a pack, laid
down to rest at midday under tree
in the orchard. and before the day
was ended he was found with cruel
cash in the neck from which his life
blood had ebbed away. Suspicion
rested on the owner of the orchard,
and he was said to have been con-
stantly followed by the spirit of the
victim. In an attempt to escape from
it's dreaded presence he moved away.
Then the apparition became terror
to all who had occasion to pass over
the road at night. So potent was it's
misunderstanding, as it had a habit
of doing, under the apple tree, with
one hand at it's throat and the other
extended as though seeking aid, and
uttering shrill cries that could be
heard half a mile away-that the To-
cation of the highway was changed
and it is now long distance from the
orchard. The old trees still bear fruit,
and the apples from the one beneath
which the peddler was killed are said
to be streaked with red, resembling
blood, the streaks extending from skin
to core.''

SUCCESS IN FEEDING.
Some of the Methods Pursued by the
Man Who Il the Envy of Less
Prosperous NeiEhbOrs.

The man who stands by the hog all
the time is the man who knows how
to make the business pay, and here are
some of his methods: He has good,
well ventilated shelter for his hogs by
the time cold weather arrives, or in
the event Of hard, cold storms. He
feeds at regular hours; his troughs
are always empty when the hogs have
finished their meals, yet they show
signs of having had enough. He has
a feeding floor and Keeps it clean. He
has provided pumpkins or squashes or
roots, for he knows that in connection
with grains these things have a nu-
tritive value that the chemist does
not give them credit for. He knows
how much his hogs are paying for his
corn and other feed, and he knows he
ought to sell them when they do not
pay the market prices for it at least.
Hissho are not wasting flesh root
ing fl the ground for alkalies to aid
digestion, for he sees to it that salt,
charcoal and ashes are within easy
reach all the time. He has his fall
filters separated from the spring pigs
and feeds the first milk and a mixed
ration that will develop bone and mus
Gle and not fat, which is not what
they want to lay on at this stage of
the game. He has rye for late fall
and early spring pasture and his brood
sows, old and young, are separate
from other hogs, that they may re-
ceive the food and care they need in
their special business. He gets we'll
paid for his labor in the manure he
saves and applies to his fields and
that would be lost to the farm if his
feeding stuffs were sold away from it.
He is delighted with high prices, of
course, but when they are low he fails
to see any market that will pay him
better for his produce than well-fed
and well cared for hogs.-Farm, Stock
and Home.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Keep one cock for ten to fifteen hens.
Let the fowls fast few hours before
killing.
Hens lay best at the age of one to
two years.
Always give fowls plenty of fresh,
pure water.
Hens over two years of age make the
best settlers.
Fowls must have range or a supply
of green food.
Have portion of the hen house part
ly darkened for nests.
Sitting hens must have daily run to
insure them good health.
There is no danger of the poultry
business being overdone because the
demand is rapidly increasing.
If scratching place is provided
where you can bury corn, your fowls
will receive much benefit from the ex-
ercise.
A quick way to fatten geese is to put
a few in a darkened pen and feed a
pound of oats per day to each one.
They fsk.en in two weeks.-Farmers'
Voice.
