N. U. Otterholt and B. X. Clinic
came close to getting blown ont of all
semblance to themselves last Thurs
day afternoon and escaped by getting
severely burned about the head and
face especially the former. As near
as we can find out the two were busy
charging the machine that operates
Mr.. Clinics lantern. They were
generating gas from q fire in the
blacksmith-shop and the first thing
they knew the machine exploded SINCE
ing Mr.. Clinics face and neck and
badly burning Mr.. Ottoerholt about
the eyes. nose and mouth. For two
or three days he could not see and
was in q bad condition, but we are
pleased to hear that he is getting
along all right. B. K. was some
what luckier although it burned one
and the side of his face. The boys
will probably do the job right next
time.

Miss Elizabeth Preston, state presi-
dent of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union addressed large aud
fence in the Baptist church last Sum
day evening, taking for her subject:
Acknowledgements as home and
Abroad Miss Preston's address
was along the line of comparison of
the work done in other countries as
we'll az our own and see brought for
ward the fact that the growth of senti-
ment in favor of temperance all oyer
the world was very encouraging. She
touched up q few funny incidents that
happened during the last session of
the legislature, and complimented the
senate steering committee composed
of five members. Four of them told
her that majority of the committee
was in favor of the passage of the an
ti-cigaretae law but it was killed by
the committee just the same, and If
you are good at mathematics you can
figure it out yourself how four out of
five were in favor of q bill yet it died
by the same four. She brought out
good arguments in favor of continu-
ing the good work. and urged all
friends of temperance to orally round
the white ribbon banner until VIC
tory should be assured. Miss Preston
is always we'll received by Coopers-
town people who are always glad to
have her speak to them.

Mr.. Y. heard a gnawlng noise and,
looking about him, saw a large brown

behind which were the fowls clucking
and scratching. He reached the laths
and tried to drag the biscuit through
them after him. It would not pass,
being fat and broad. After some vain
struggles with Il, the rat vanished, to
return with another OF his acquaint-

FOR THE CHILDREN


Something happened in the city Of
Boston on Feb. 3 last that reminds us
Of the day over 100 years ago when the
boys Of Boston marched to the head
quarters Of the British and complained
that their sport on Boston Common
was being interfered with by the Brit
lsh soldiers. 1t seems the Boston boys
nowadays are not very much unlike the
Boston boys of'125 years ago.
On the day stated in February last
about 800 Boston bootblacks marched
to the statehouse TO appeal to the legis-
lature in favor Of law allowing the
boys to shine shoes on Sunday. The
BOYS assembled ut 0 o'clock In the
morning and formed In line, the small
est at the front and the big ones In the
rear. They were all neat and clean,
and their sweaters looked fresh from
the washtub. At the wO.d March
the line quickly took step, and with
three ringing cheers they marched up
Boylston street headed by three little
lads hand In hand, each not over or y
years old. The enthusiasm Of the boys
oozed out ut every pore. They danced,
cake walked, threw snOwballs, showed
one another into drifts, Jollied the by
ISLANDERS and cheered all the time. Nine
Of the boys had been chosen to make
the speeches. Their names were Tony
Leplto, Simon Levi, Aaron Kedauski,
Dominica Dinnattes, Antony Scott,
Bernard Sousa. Amos Vixen, David
Michael and Samuel ROsen.
These boys appeared before the COM
mlttee and asked that 1t should be law
full for bOotblacks to work on the
Lords day until II a. m. Eighteen OF
the boys were conducted into the office
of the governor and were kindly re-
ceived by him The little fellows made
good pleas. which appealed very strong
ly 10 the hearts Of the committeeman.
One Of the boys said that his father
and mother were both sick and that
he had to support them and that Sun
day was his best day; that on week
days he earned from 20 10 30 cents and
on Sundays from 60 TO 20 cents. An
11-year-Old said that he was the eldest
Of six children, and II was necessary
for him to work on Sunday. Another
said that he was chief support Of two
brothers and a sister and that without
his Sunday work they could not live.
Another said that he was the second In
n family Of ten and that he was attend
ing night school and that 1t would be
impossible for him to do so unless he
could shine boots and sell papers on
Sunday morning, which was his best
time.
Certainly II would seem to the aver
age person that II bakeries and drug
stores are allowed to keep open all day
Sunday these little fellows, who en-
dure so much hardship and earn their
money at such n great sacrifice Of
comfort, should be granted their APP
peal.

Here Is "A suggestion for n screen
which any one can follow or work out
on original lines.
The panels may he covered with pr
per any shade desired. Dull green,
dark red or black make good back
grounds, while ecru or tan are adj
mlrablc Every visitor to n girls den
is asked for a contribution to the
screen.
The artist makes small sketch, the
poet writes verse or two; one will
contribute an interesting newspaper or
magazine clipping. In reality the
screen is a big scrapbook, and almost
anything is suitable for H. Autographs
Of distinguished persons may be In
serted II one Is lucky enough to pos

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Fertilizers For Garden Crops.

Fertilizers For Garden crops.
Upon tomatoes ittwas found that the
use of 100 pounds per acre of nitrate
of soda gave an increase of $l60 worth
in the crop, or $53.33 for every dollar
the soda cost. One hundred and twen-
" pounds of sulphate of ammonia in
creased It $4l.26 for each dollar Of
cost, and 200 pounds of dried blood
gave S22.55 Cor the dollar of cost. On
muskmelons the same quantities OF
each were tested, and nitrate of soda
Increased the yield 10 per cent over
plots that had no extra nitrogen, Cried
blood increased il 81 per cent and sui
phate of ammonia 81 per cent. When
larger amounts were used, the yield
was less, as the vines seemed to grow
too rank and bore less fruit. The same
kinds and amounts Of fertilizers were
tried upon sweet corn. and the average
increase of cars was oil per cent with
nitrate of soda, pa with sulphate OF
ammonia and $40 per cent with dried
blood. In this case 1t was thought that
much of the soluble nitrogen In the
chemicals was leached down below the
corn roots before the development OF
ears began. Increasing the amount
used generally gave better results on
the corn
