er and tried to rouse the operator al
the cut.
The brute was slow, and when he did
answer he said that Grimes train had
gone. Gone! Casey was almost reach
ing for the gun in the top drawer. But
he didn't. He worked the instrument
again.
"Chase it," ratified Casey, and the
operator chased.
In the next ten minutes Casey got
his first gray hair.
Now, from the cut to GAINESVILLE it is
down grade all the way. The gravel
train had stood on a siding, and the
brakeman had to jump to catch the
caboose after he had locked the switch.
The track was bad and good sprinting
out of the question. The operator was
long-legged chap, however, and be
had chance.
Meanwhile Casey sat still and watt
ed. He saw the wreck-vividly-
steaming ruin of the engines, the
heaped-up train and the bodies lying
side by side under blankets. Then the
inquest and all the rest of the night
mare. There was murder on his hands
unless that train was stopped. And if
it was stopped-well, there would be
words of comment by trainmen, mes
sages over the wire to the division SUI
perintendent and others not by Casey,
and it would be all over with Casey's
railroad career, to say. nothing of An
ME and the picnic. :.
O'Connor had left GAINESVILLE long ago
and was nowgplugging along up the
grade, with numerous curves ahead
and so dagoes behind. Grimes train
was rapidly gaining Roadway, strings
ing out of the siding and rafting onto
the main track, going faster with every
yard. 49, -. d, ~e,5@
The long-legged operator ran rapid
ly. just as the train Strengthened out
for the down grade of the main line
he caught the last hand rail of the ca
boose and was flung off his feet, but
hung on and climbed aboard. :.
And there they stood, the engine
putting and blowing off and Grimes
talking very earnestly with his en-
gineer when the O'Connor train pulled
in. It was the long-leggedyo operator
who saved the trains-but it was the
backyard quarrel that saved Casey,
Grimes scowled, O'Connor glowered,
conversation was out Of the question
and official joint reports not to be
thought 81. In the feud that had dis
rupted the neighborhood up on Lynn
street the poor train dispatcher who
had nearly sent two trains over the
Great Divide was forgotten. 4 /,

CALF-FEEDING TESTS.
Conducted at the Kansas Experiment
n station for the Benefit Of
j. western Cattlemen.

; A report of the Kansas experiment
station says: Feeders find that the
average skim milk calf does not make
profitable gains in the feed lot and
will not buy him. Farmers find that
the difference in price between an or
binary skim milk calf and one that
has run with the COW is frequently
greater than the profits made from
milking, and they drop dairy work.
The Kansas experiment station re-
Gently fattened 100 head of calves for
baby beef. These were divided into
nine lots-one lot of ten had been
raised by hand with skim milk, and
another lot of ten had run with their
dams in small pastures. until Wean-
ing. Both lots were put in fattening
yards at weaving and were fed for
seven months on alfalfa hay and corn.
The results are as follows:
Calves raised with dam gained 435
pounds per head; amount of corn re-
quired to make 100 pounds gain, AS;
amount of alfalfa required to make
100 pounds gain, 472.
Skim milk calves gained 44o pounds;
amount of corn required to make 100
pounds gain, 439; amount Of alfalfa
required for 100 pounds gain, 436
pounds.
The skim milk calves were fed uh-
til weaving on sterilized skim milk,
with a grain ration composed of equal
parts of corn and Kaffir corn, with all
the alfalfa hay they would eat. They
were fed in this way % weeks and
made an average daily gain Of one and
half pounds per calf. The feed to
raise these calves to weaving cost $5.:7
per head. AS the results show, they
were in good condition for feeding
when weaned and. the experiment
shows strongly the good feeding quail
tiles of the skim milk calf and the
profits that can be made from it, when
the calf is properly handled from birth
to weaving and then pushed for baby
beef. The college herd of scrub cows,
bought without regard to their value
for the dairy, produced in a year, at
creamery prices. milk worth $97.75
per cow. The skim milk calves which
were fattened in this experiment were
OF mixed breeding and were selected
without regard to their value for the
production of baby beef. They brought
an average of $40 each when marketed
at about a year old.

a NlINTERFAMILY quarrel between

q A N21NTERFAMILY quarrel between
q IA two houses up on Lynn street,
with the consequent estrangement be-
tween Conductors Grimes and O'Con-
nor, fathers and husbands of the war
ring groups, respectively, were power
full factors in the last chapter, but
Casey's sweetheart with the sunlit
hair was the cause of the trouble. She
was innocent of all evil intent, but be-
tween her comeliness and Casey's feel
1ngs the most serious consequences
nearly resulted to both parties, not to
mention two train loads of Italian la
borers and a bunch of the company's
money. And if it had not been for that
Lynn street feud and the fact that
both train crews took sides therein
well, Casey and the girl would not have
gone 2icnicking the next day.
How the feud originated no one
seemed to know, not even Casey, and
afterward he was too glad to accept
the bare fact to inquire, But after the
kids" the mothers took it up, and the
fathers had to follow suit to keep
peace in their own families. It was
serious by this time. Each of those
two men had said things which had
been passed along by mutual friends
till neither could speak to the other.
Oh, they were sore hearted. They met
face to face that morning in the little
booth next to the office where Casey,
the train dispat cher, held the chair.
One glared into space and the other
scowled, and they passed. Casey saw
them and laughed, and later in the day
was thankful that it was so.
Casey's division ran from GAINESVILLE
up to Baraboo, or thereabouts, and
Grimes and O'Connor were in charge of
the two gravel trains working the cut
north of GAINESVILLE. Their trains load.

stepped out orjust a little "spiel," a
very. short one. Annie was such a good
hand to "josh" with. 80
Casey returned to his desk at last.
Nothing had happened, and every thing
was all right. The operator at the tank
wanted Illustrations. Crimes en-
gineer was ready to go back, but re-
quested additional orders to take on
his train at the cut, and then go rolling
down the line to GAINESVILLE, without
waiting for further Geographic in
structions.
If Casey had been thoroughly him
self he would not have granted it, be-
cause such thing is irregular in rail-
road practice, and two trains nearly
always get into trouble when they try
to pass on the same track. But for ten
seconds it slipped his mind that he had
given O'Connor the right of way. And
in that ten seconds, having Annie's
smile before his eyes AID being be-
nevolently inclined to all, he told
Grimes engineer to go ahead.

But when Casey got back and looked

he should have drawn gun on himself

of the sort. He shut his lips tight and
all the sunshine of the day turned

PLUMS FOR MARKET.
There Are Hundreds of Varieties, But
Only Few Are Adapted for
General Cultivation

The number of known species of
plums runs up into the hundreds, but
among those hundreds there are only
few that it will pay to do much
with. But it requires great deal of
experimentation to find out the best
that is in each species. Each species
in turn is made to produce innumer-
able varieties, which may be in turn
crossed with the seedlings of other
species. If all the new varieties were
named we would soon have chaos in
the nomenclature. In addition the
number of varieties would become so
great that the longest life would not
suffice to become acquainted with
them. 1t is, therefore, fortunate that
cutting out of varieties is continually
going on. Recently in walking
through block of 500 Seeding plum
trees with Prof. Golf, of the Wiscon-
sin experiment station, he made the
remark that of those 500 trees, all
fruiting and bearing fairly good
plums' not more than a dozen trees
would be saved. The rest were to 90
onto the brush heap. He says we have
too many varieties now, and. that
most OF the varieties men are at
tempting to grow should be discard
ed. Ibis phase of the subject is of
interest to the plum student and is
an encouragement, for it justifes the
course of passing lightly over most
OF the varieties or forgetting them
altogether and fixing the attention
on the few varieties that have been
proven to be good. For all practical
purposes, therefore, it is possible for
a man to become plum expert with
out devoting an entire life to the
study.-Farmers' Review.

MATRIMONIAL FIRMS.
Why Husband and Wife Should Be
Familiar with Each Others
Business Affairs.

Husband and wife should always con.
slider themselves members of matri.
monial firm, and both should be famil-
lar with all business secrets. If they
would recognize the fact that they are
should know the financial standing OF
the firm-their debts and their assets
many of the troubles of matrimonial
life would be avoided.
It is exceedingly hard for man to
find his wife spending money-prob-
ably very hardly earned-on some
bauble or luxury which he would not
feel justified in buying for her, unless
his income were double what it is. The
chances are that he reproves her for
her recklessness and extravaganza,
thereby rousing her indignation, and
very likely laying himself open to the
charge of stinginess, and also of in.
justice.
1t is quite probable that instead OF
being stingy he is rather overindulgent
to her, but it is very likely that he has
not treated her justly. He has never
thought of her as his business partner,
and, though he has given her the right
to handle a certain amount of his
money, he has not explained to her
exactly how he stands financially.
Instead of having any secrets re.
garding money matters, there should
be entire frankness between husband
and wife from the very first. The wife
as junior partner, will have keen in.
terest in increasing the prosperity OF
the firm, and not only will misunder.
standings be avoided, but the bond Of
mission will be strengthened between
her and her husband in mutual conf.
dence and advice concerning the house.

ed and shOVeled OF alternately at the
cut and the fill, as the case might be,
and small were the civilities that
passed between crews.
Casey was rather young man for so
responsible calling, but there was
one line besides train dispatching at
which he was even less experienced,
and he was finding constantly that his
pathway was beset with new perplexi-
ties and wonderments. This morning
he was absent-minded, subject to un-
wonted starts and other symptoms.
Casey hardly knew what was wrong,
but he suspected strongly, and so did
Annie. It was hard to confne his brain
to the work in hand. Instead of train
numbers and switches and sidings and
stations his mind was filed with such
irrelevant matters as the shape of
certain young woman's nose and the
way the sun shone in her hair. But he
pulled himself together and got the
hang of the days work before things
began to snarl up. Z
The alternating gravel trains were
attended to early. Conductor Grimes
and his so Italian laborers were sent
back to the cut to finish loading their
train with gravel. O'Connor and his
gang were put to work for awhile at
the fill, unloading the fiat cars that had
been filled the night before by the
steam shovel. All this was easy. The
passenger trains and the through and
way freights were reported o. K, and
Casey allowed his min dto wander Just
little, prospecting on the quality of
picnic weather he and Annie would get
tomorrow for their trip up the river.
Then he was called back to earth by a
message from the operator at the cut
five miles above. Grimes wanted to
run up to the water tank, three miles
further on, to fill the tender. Casey
gave the right of way. : .~s
About this time O'Connor had fin
ished his unloading at the fill, and his
long train of empty flats pulled up at
the station for orders. The so .'da-
goes" sat complacently in the sun,
smoking their black pipes and saying
nothing, like so many craven images.
Casey sent them along the line to the
cut for another load. Casey laughed
again at the stolidity of the Italians,
and wondered if they ever felt as he
did. They did not seem to care wheth-
er school kept or not, but then, they
didn't know the condition of the train
dispatcher's mind, although this
ought to have been Of vital interes to
them. Still, the passengers and the
through and the way freights were do
ing nicely, and it was already ten
o'clock.
Just then Annie came by. She ought
not to have done SO in business hours,
but she wanted to ask Casey what
lunch to put up for to-morrow's pic

MUST HAVE WARRANT.
To Make An Arrest for Misdemeanor
at Night.

o make An arrest TOR a MISoemeanOI
at Night.
Judge Loud of the seventh judicial
district holding court at Billings has
made a ruling that is bound TO
have a far reaching effect if it is q
good one. His ruling is to the effect
that a man committing misdemeanor
in the night time cannot be legally al
rested until a warrant has first been
secured for the same. The decision
oner had resisted an officer. After
hearing the evidence Judge Loud pre-
scented the following instructions:
THE jury are instructed that upon
the trial of criminal case if after
the evidence for the state has been
introduced it appears to the court
that the evidence produced is INSULT
cient to warrant verdict of guilty,
it becomes the duty of the court to ad-
wise the jury to return verdict of not
guilty. The jury however, are not
obliged to follow the advice given by
the court in this matter.
The court instructs you that in
this case the evidence produced on
behalf of the prosecution is INSULT
cient to warrant the jury in finding d
verdict of guilty herein. The INSULT
cheney consists in this; that the evil
dence shows that the arrest was made
by the police officer between the
hours of and II p. m. of the eighth
day of March 1901. The term night
time as defined by our statute, in
cludes that period Of time between
sunset of one day and sunrise of the
next ensuing day. Under our law an
arrest cannot be made by peace Off
Ger or other officer for a misdemean-
or during he night time unless a war
rant for the persons arrest is issued
by magistrate and with his endorse
ment thereon authorizing the officer
to make the arrest in the night time.
In this case the evidence shows
that no warrant was issued by a mag
istrate and that the arrest was made
by the police officer in the night time
without warrant. Such an arrest
would be an illegal arrest and the de-
PENDANT would be authorized in resist
ing the same.
ION account of the insufficiency of
the evidence, as hereinbefCre mention
ed, the court now advises you to re-
turn verdict of not guilty. You may
either retire to your jury room and
select one of your number as foreman,
who must sign the verdict or you may
'emain in your seats and sign vel-
lict for the defendant"
Acting upon the above instructions
he jury remained in their seats and

he jury in the above entitled cause do
ind the defendant not guilty. I"
