In his ward woman who had very
defective heart. DR.. Thomas found
her much improved one morning and
stopped at her bedside to congratulate
her upon her condition. The woman
said that her condition was so much
better that she thought she could get
up and leave the institution. Having
his stethoscope with him, the doctor
bent over the patient to hear the pulsa-
tions Of the heart. They were exceed
ingly irregular. and for some seconds
he counted them.
Suddenly there was a pause. and he
waited for the recurring beat. Maybe
three seconds elapsed, and still there
was no sound.
He looked up at her face in time to
see the expression Of death settling
over the features. The pupils of the
eyes dilated and swelled as he watched
them, and the skin assumed a peculiar
mottled appearance.
She whispered: My Godi What
does this mean?" For a second the
automatic action of the respiratory or
gans continued. and there were con-
vulsive twitchings Of the facial mus
cles, but death came when the last
beat Of the heart had died away.-De-

before the big stove in one corner of

lawyers and acquaintances at once
gathered around Mr.. Lincoln, and he
began telling stories in low voice.
Judge Davis finally arose. stretched
himself and In a drawling voice said:

will have to quit telling stories. or

Pauncefote Treaty.

Tho Nicaragua Canal Under the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty.
This plan puts the United States
simply in the position of Q private cap.
italist going abroad to invest money in
q purely commercial undertaking. There
may, indeed, be some good reason why
our Government should build the canal
even on this basis. We are not prepsr-
ed to say that the project ought to be
abandoned or turned over to that great
modern power, International Capital,
which-whether localized in New Y ork,
London, Paris, Frankfort, or Berlin
knows absolutely no allegiance to any
government. But the more ordinary die
tates of prudence would seem to favor
the comparatively conservative idea
that the United States should buy up the
railroad and telegraph lines which lie
within its own sovereign dominions,
rather than embark perhaps $500, 100000
of our public money in an enterprise
which We carefully invite Europe in ad-
vance to guarantee that we shall never
in the dire emergency of war be per
mitted to use for our own benefit. This
is the only practical meaning that the
SO called naturalization" of the canal
can have. Mr.. Hay streaty proposes that
it shall be the absolute property of the
United States, but that il in wartime
we should choose to fortify our own
Governments property or to exclude
our enemy's ships from its use, We
should have made it both the right and
the duty of all the world to take up
arms against us. This is why, in our
opinion, the Hay Pauncefote treaty
will, if ratified, tend to war rather than
peace. 1t gives Europe control that
America should keep. 1t would compel
us to build a navy at least twice as large
as we should otherwise need. II we
were to become party to the inter-
national compact that controls the
Suez Canal, Europe would still control
in fact for this country would be in q
minority of one In like manner, if the
Hsy-Psuncefote plan is adopted, we

Raising Calves Without MIX.

Director Curtiss of the Iowa Experi-
ment Station, who visited England last
year, tells in the Rural New Yorker how
our cousins over there raise calves with
out the employment of milk. He says:
II made some interesting observations
on this subject in England last sum
mer. Many of the farmers within .
radius of 1870 miles, or even more, Of
London, ship all their milk to the city
dealers twice day, and on some of
these farms from fifty to one hundred
calves will be raised annually. These
calves uever have any milk after they
are two or three weeks old. They are
given new milk, fresh from the COW,
until they are about two weeks old,
when this is gradually replaced by ex-
tract of hay, or what is commonly
known as hay tea, made by boiling .
large kettleful of hay and water for
several hours. This is then allowed to
stand for about twelve hours, and the
water in which the hay has been boiled
is drawn off, and to This is added oil
meal, or ground cake as it is termed
over there. BY the time the calves are
three weeks old the milk is usually COM
pletel, replaced by the hay tea and
ground cake. This furnishes asort Of
Cruel that is very nutritious, and an
swers all the needs Of the growing calf
in a satisfactory degree.
"Much better calves are grown by
this process than are ordinarily pro.

calves without milk by this method.

Evangelist Williams Wins a slander

Evangelist Williams Wins slander
Suit.
Williams, the evangelist, was de.
fendant in suit for slander, tried at
Clarinda, Iowa, recently. 1t appears
that on the 3rd day of December, 1899,
Rev. Williams was conducting revival
services in the armory at Shenandoah
and in sermon took occasion to "roast''
Mr.. Furguson for dereliction of duty as
justice of the peace; that in the pres
ence of large congregation he said:
"I understand you have young JUS
tice of the peace in your city who re-
fuses to issue warrant for the seizure
of jugs. Such a justice is unworthy of
the office, and should be removed and
man elected who would do his duty"
Williams in answer to some criticism
of his remarks took occasion to repeat
them on the following night and added:
IL did not say the little justice had
done so, but it seems it hit the mark.
While was firing around in the dark
down came the little j. p"
On the night of December 4 follow
ing, referring to possible damage suit,
he said of justice Ferguson,
"Your young j. p. rates himself at
5000. l would like to know how high
he is rated by his friends aud neighbors
in the town where he was born and
raised. Twill offer him for sale at pub
lie auction to the highest bidder and
see what he will bring, how much am
1 offered to start; let me have bid. ]
am offered 2 cents. Who will bid q
nickel; who will raise it? Going going
gone! Sold for nickel"
When the case cane up for trial
Monday, of last week, Judge Smith
ruled that what Williams said was
privileged. This practically decided
the case and the defendant offered nc
testimony. The jury returned yer.
dict for defendant. The judges ruling
does not make it plain why an evange.
list any more than any other lpersor
should be allowed to make statements
derogatory to ones character without a,
least proving his assertions.-Indepen,

Tho Milker.

We see q great many articles going
the rounds Of the press about the
milker-the man who mllks the COW.
Certain set rules have been adopted by
the writers of these articles, but We
often doubt If the ones that lay dow
such elaborate rules really know those
rules to Le reliable. Take for instance
the one that says that a good mixer
must be fast mixer. Now, there are
many good mixers that are not fast
mixers. They are good mixers be-
cause they are in harmony with the
cows they milk and they milk the COWS
dry. They can probably get as much
milk from the COWS as any other person
provided the cows have been MIXED by
such persons right along.
We hear something about the dirty
ness of mixers dipping their fingers in
the milk to molsten the teats with be-
fore beginning to milk. One would
think from the press accounts that this
is the orthodox way of milking and a
hard battle is needed t, overthrow the
pernicious system or habit But are
there such dirty fellows? In an exper.
ience of many years, the writer never
saw one of that kind and never heard
of any except in general way through
the press. The only way the writer has
ever seen teats softened before milking
by the use of milk was by the milkmsn
before placing the pail under the COW
Milking little in his hands ard rub
bing it on the teats, but wiplng them
SO dry that no drippings would be left
to fall into the pail.
One writer says that the milkmar
should be quiet while milking; Why;
1t is certainly true that man wher
milking should not make any noise that
will frighten or excite the COW bu
some cows are accustomed to hear th,
mixer hum or sing while milking, ant
seem to take it as quite the prope
thing. They go right on chewing tn,
cud while the milking is going on
The idea Of quietness being an absolute
necessity for the proper milking of the
COW will hardly find general accept
snce.

PEELED to milk COWS after dark, unless
good light is provided In the stables
