GREEDY CHICAGO.
She Persists IN Taking Business Away
From New York.

New York, June 1O.-The Journal of
Commerce says.
The controversy over the place of open
ing government bids for Indian supplies
is again attracting attention. Some two
years ago a similar agitation resulted in
Chicago being designated as the place of
opening bids for supplies of provisions,
groceries, boots, shoes. etc. while bids
for dry goods, clothing notions etc
were left to New York. The threatened
transfer to Chicago of the bids that under
present arrangements are opened here
was brought to the attention of the ex-
ecutive Committee of the New York
board of trade and transportation at its
last meeting and the matter is now being
considered by that committee. One of the
most important points in the controversy
and one on which much stress is laid by
local merchants is the prestige attached
to the business being retained here.

any additional changes being made.

GRIMES PAID FARE.
State Treasurer Had Trouble
With Conductor, However.

The following is from the Kansas City
Journal:
Frank Grimes, treasurer of the state
of Kansas. arrived in Excelsior Springs
Saturday night with a party of three
En- route from Kansas City to Excelsior
Mr.. Grimes had light difficulty with
the conductor, but fortunately no blood
was shed. Mr.. Grimes did not buy
ticket, so when the conductor came
through the train the Kansas politician
offered to pay cash fare. The round trip
from Kansas City is 81, but Mr. Grimes
did not want a round trip.
Il want to pay for this party of four
he said. How much?'
THE fare is rs cents.'' was the re-
ply.
How much is it to Excelsior Springs
junction %
When informed that the fare would
be 10 cents to the Junction, Mr.. Grimes
hesitated, but paid the amount asked
after a long argument. Soon after he
had paid for transportation as far as
the Junction Mr.. Grimes learned that
an additional fare would be charged
from the Junction to Excelsior. Then
there was another row with the con-
ductor and after the officious individual
who represented the Wabash railroad
had passed through the car the Kansas
statesman stepped across the aisle and
told his troubles to a stranger who hap
pened to be. Fred W. Fleming, of this
city, also a politician.
Stranger" said Mr. Grimes, It think
that have been robbed by that COLI
ductor am not in the habit of paying
railroad fare, as am the treasurer OF
the great state of Kansas Here, look
who I am
Then a large book filed with annual
passes was produced and was carefully
examined by the willy Fleming, who
was enjoying the joke immensely.
L am sure that the conductor did not
know who you are" said Fleming. If
he finds out what a great man you are
he will surely apologize. I would report
him"
BY this time the train had reached
Excelsior Springs, but Mr.. Grimes was
still angry.
Mr.. Grimes reached Topeka at noon
today. He says the conductor tried to
beat him out of dollar; that the story
is all right except that it is turned
around He says he called the conduc-
tor back after that official had taken up
a single fare for himself and insisted on
paying for his children and their friend
Whereupon the conductor attempted to
work a short change game on him. He
stood on his rights and the conductor
pleaded with him not to report the in

Wire grass is being now manufac-
tured into binding twine by Mime
apolis company. Large areas of grow
ing wire grass have been brought un-
der the company in question. This
land is marshy and at the present time
is not suited to the production of any
thing but wire grass. Most of the land
in question lies in Minnesota and Wis
consin The twine manufactured from
wire grass is light green in color and
somewhat bulky and it can be used
only by machines with fixtures adapt
ed to it. 1t sells at price somewhat
lower than other twine, most of which
is now controlled by the twine trust.
1t will not, however, be an easy task to
demonstrate the utility of this kind of
twine to farmers who have been accus-
toned to the other kind.

then get to either division of the feed
box, one end of which is fitted to re-
ceive a pail, while the other is open
to hold grain or hay. Even for calves
that are old enough to be tied in stalls,
this plan is useful. The box could, in
that case, be continuous, having divi-
sions as shown in front of each stall,
with similar openings for the young
sters' heads. The calves could also be
tied to stanchion behind the open
ings. Another desirable feature of
this plan is, it admits of leaving pail
of water constantly before each calf,
which will be much appreciated, as
young stock need to drink more fre-
quently than older animals.-Fred o..

AUTUMN FARM NOTES.

Remember that the hens as we'll as
the horses want water and want it
pure.
Fence posts and fiXings cut now
will come handy for repairs in the
spring.
Have a dry shelter for the reaper
and mower and all other farm i'm
plements.
See that all animals on the farm
are protected from cold rains and
chilling frosts.
Ship only the solid heads of cab
bages. Take off some of the outside
leaves and stems. Pack tightly.
Shoes may be made nearly water
proof by rubbing into them a mix
ture of rosin, beeswaX and lard.
Take rides in the country in these
sunny days, to inspect neighboring
farms. and have the wife go too.
Attend now to the opening of
drains in the wheat field and for
turning of the washings of the high
way over the low land when the fall
rains and spring floods come.-Farm
and Home.

shrank from undue expression of her
feelings. Mrs. Vane respected her
reserve as she had encouraged her
confidence.
Don't be downhearted, my dear.
Go right on with your plans Count
on me for the 10000 and more if the
plan develops as l think it will. And
meanwhile, if in your trips among
the working girls, you run across
anyone who can take Hilda's place,
send her around. / haven't been able
to find anybody yet. / would get
along without help, but Mr.. Vane will
not allow it, with all the company we
have. No, don't shake hands like
men. Kiss me, my dear"
So Barbara impulsively kissed her,
and went away much comforted. She
dreaded the thought that she might
meet the young minister, and half
hoped she might. But for the naXt
three weeks Mr.. Morton was called
out of Crawford on lecture tour
which the Marble Square church
granted him; and, when Barbara
learned that he was gone, she almost
felt relieved as she planned her work
with Mrs. Wards hearty cooperation
to see as many working girls as pos
sible for information, and to learn
from them the story of their choice
of life labor, and its relation to her
own purpose so far as helping solve
the servant question was concerned.
What Barbara learned during the
next three weeks would make n vol
ume in itself. She did not know that
she had any particular talent for
winning condolences, but a few days
experience taught her that she was
happily possessed of rare talent far
making friends. She managed in one
way and another to meet girls at

THE IDEAL FARM HOME.
IL Must Have scores of Convent ences
UnthOugbt OF Score of
Years Ago.

Forty years ago this subject would
have meant something quite different
from what it does at present. Then a
plain frame building with plastered
walls and brick chimney would
have seemed great advance on the
double log cabin with its stick and
mud chimney at either end, the well
sweep in the yard, chickens roostinc
In the trees or on the rail fences. A
pie OF logs in the front yard was not
deemed out of place in early days,
and shade trees, shrubbery and flow
er beds were exceptional, if not un-
known. The ideal farm home as we
now regard it must have many orna-
mental features, and numerous con-
veniences that in pioneer days were
unthought of. AS to externals our
first thought is regarding walks and
drives. They should be dry and
clean. Mud should not be tracked
into the house, and to prevent this
gravel should be used freely, not only
to make walks to barnyards and
outhouses, but to build drives from
the road in front to the wagon shed
in the rear. A shed or covered wav
ought to extend from a side porch
of the house to the drive so the la
dies can enter or depart from the
carriage dry shod. Cows as well as
horses must be shielded at the model
farm and the mixers need bring no
dirt with them indoors. The stables
and sheds will be cleaned two or
three times each week and the refuse
drawn out to the fields. A row of
hothouses, sheds and covered ways
will extend from kitchen to barn, so
there will be no need to tramp
through mud and rain at any time.
The ideal home is possible only when
built upon good well-graveled road,
because the people who dwell in 1T
are sociable and must visit and at
tend meetings, lectures and concerts.
It must have a telephone connecting
with all the neighborhood and the
towns and villages near. 1t must
have a daily mail, which it easily can
have if the roads are what they
ought to be. 1t must have shade
trees, vines, shrubbery and flowers
in the bluegrass lawn, and small
fruit as well as a vegetable garden,
well stocked with the best varieties
and well tended, and it should be
convenient to the kitchen so as to be
most available and useful.-Indiana
Farmer.

"Come right into the sitting-room,

Ward will be delighted to see you"
Barbara rose and slipped out into
the kitchen as Mr.. Ward and Mr..
Morton reached the end of the hall.
She busted herself with something
there for half an hour. At the end
of that time she heard Mr.. Wards
hearty, strong voice saying good
night to Morton as he went out into
the hall with him.
After few minutes Barbara came
back into the sitting-room, and TAX

THROWING AWAY MONEY.
Farmers who Raise Scrub Cattle Do
1t systematically and Every
Day in the Year.

None but rich man can afford
to throw money away, and a rich
man is a fool if he does it. But many
men who are not rich are virtually
throwing money away because they
neglect opportunities to make it.
Not all men can see great opportuni-
ties for profit in business; such men
are comparatively rare. But all men
can and should see such opportuni.
ties as are open to all. Improvement
of live stock is one of these free-for-
all opportunities. There is not a man
in this country who does not have
an opportunity to improve his stock,
and who does not have the incentive
before him every time he sells an
animal. Yet thousands will continue
to throw money away by breeding
$50 horses, three-cent steers or some
thing equally as bad. Pure-bred
stock is not a rare thing, that re-
quires vast amount of money. Good
blood can he had by any man who
really wants it. He can secure the
service of a good sire, he can club
with others and buy one, or he can
sell a part of what he has and get
an improver if he only wants to do
it. There are sales where stock is
to be had at reasonable prices, there
are breeders in almost every country,
and there are opportunities for all
men who need better stock. Let
them open their eyes and see how
much they are throwing away!-Na-
tional Stockman.

THE HORSE PLAYED A Joke.
Drew His Young Mistress Up to q
Store Where She Didn't
Want to Go.

"You may think horses haven't any
sense if you want to-" remarked a
lady from Mississippi to a group of
friends seated around one of the
tables in the Peabody cafe, according
to the Memphis Scimitar, ''but l had
an experience when | was a girl that
taught me that they have sense
enough to get one in all sorts of pre-
dicaments.
II carried a friend of mine driving
one afternoon. We had to pass
through a town where there was
young man from New Orleans serv-
ing as clerk in one of the large sup
ply stores that were a feature of the
country town few years ago. He
had paid me a great deal of attention,
and, to tell you the truth, liked him
very much, and, though L was not
willing to admit it at that time, and
denied the accusation with true fem
inntne promptitude in such matters,
I always made it a point to go to
that store for some ething every time
l went to town.
son this occasion, however, | had
no excuse to go and see him and did
not intend doing so, as he had caught
on to the fact that / never came to
town without seeing him. But as we
crossed the railroad, right in front of
the town, the bride bit came in two
and I, of course, lost control of the
animal, and he, finding that no one
was guiding him, turned himself
around and marched as straight back
to that store as if l had driven him
with the utmost precision.
"And that's not the worst of it,"
said she, in conclusion. mo sooner
had he got to the store than he gave
one of those little 'nickers' peculiar
to himself and familiar to the young
man. The young fellow was there in
a iiffy and well, | wished that l
wasn't. My face turned all the colors
of the rainbow and wound up in the
most delicate touch of crimson. l
explained to him in my confusion
that l had not intended to come to
see him, but the horse would bring
me, and he didn't object"
