1t has been remarked in connection
with the late Lord Armstrong as moi:
little singular that while he was the
founder OF Elswick, the arsenal Of the

This was John, scion Of the Liddes-
dale Armstrong;, who became very
celebrated military officer and engi-
neer, serving with the highest reputa-
ton under the duke of Marlborough

Half century ago poultry keeping
was simply fashionable amusement
and pastime. says American stochman.
The beginning may be said TO be abou,
lstI to 1850. at the time OF the intro
duction OF the Shanxhals. Thosr who
have some knowledge Of the history
OF the past have n fair idea Of what
poultry has accomplished. The casual
observer OF years ago saw only enough
OF 1t to disgust him with the whols
business. Men who were engaged In II
saw enough money In II, and as many
as had Judgment enough TO curtall ex-
penscs and reduce stock At the right
time came out with little money and
more or less experience, the latter
worth perhaps as much In the long run
az the money. A great many so-eailed
faneiers, however, went into the busl.
ness merely for the sake of the specu-
lation and excitement it afforded. and
went out OF 1t without knowing or car
Ing anything about the ultimate results
OF the poultry interest at large. Fan

Cured here in Dubuque when Presi-

at once communicated this informa-
ton to Superintendent Hartman, who

ner Camp to haul the special On ar
rival at Dubuque the President and
his party took carriages for Washing

hmiles all over his face went back to

ed if he had met the President, and
Harry said, mo; ! cannot meet him

tain said, You stay right here until

the President in his car than Captain
Merry took Engineer Camp just as he
came off his engine into the Presi-
dents car and introduced him as a
member of his old regiment. Presi-
dent Mckinley took his hand in both
of his, and with a shake as cordial as
it was sincere. did what he had not
done to one of the distinguished dig
nitaries that had called upon him on
his trip across the state. He said: II
want you to meet Mrs. Kinley," and
.ook him to her room and presented
aim to the first lady of the land. who
received him as cordially in his engi-
Neer's garb of old clothes, as though
he had worn full dress suit.
