UNFAIR

A local paper, which in its efforts
TO SANDER President Mckinley, goes "a
the verge of indecency, has this to say:
The effort to induce The president To
remove Pension Commissioner Evans
is rapidly assuming irresistible pro-
portions The emperor of expediency
is now almost In the position in which
he can wash his sanctimOnious hands
and say to tAe country: 81 am inn0-
cent. see yo 10 1t. We have the au-
th0rity cf that notorious ex-c0mmis-
sa1ner OF pensions, Corporal James
Tanner fer the statement that Gen
egal Daniel Il. Sicklcs has I'm his pos
session a letter from the National Com
mittee In which it is promised faith
fully that Mr.. Evans would be retired
from the office OF pension commits
sicner upon the beginning OF President
McKinley's second administration"
General Sioldes however denies THAT
he has such a letter. but he endorses
Corporal Tanners nefarious attempt
TO have Commissioner Evans official
head decapitated.
Several things will strike the Impair
tial reader of the above chief of which
is the fact that granting that every
efforts has been made 20 have Mr..
Evans removed the president has not
yielded TO these importunings. TO
imagine that he viii yield to pressure
and do an improper thing. and then
berate him in advance, is TO be slightly
preciptate. to say the least Com

greatest pressure from all sources, to
make his Interpretation of pension
laws more flexible, and the Grand
Army should praise, rather than CEN
sure his conduct The pension list
should be an honor ROLL from which
every undeserving man should be ex-
Guided.
As we have stated, there is every
indication that the president appre-
ciates his valuable qualities. and his fit
ness for his responsible place; and we
believe he will be retai1ed
We fail TO see what Corporal Tan

HON. A w. GILMAN.

Among the men prominent in the pub
lie life Of this state, and fairly entitled TO
be called a representative farmer, is Mr..
A. w. Gilman of Foxcroft. Born In
that town in lS47, he has made his home
there during all the succeeding years,
and is one of its honored and respected
citizens, alive TO its welfare and identi-
fled with all its best interests, having
held nearly all the leading town offices.
He WAS also superintendent oil schools
for many years; his own experience 10
teaching leading him to take that intel.
ligent interest in the school which well
fitted him for a position involving their
interests. A record of fOrty-seyen
schools over which he has presided as
teacher, and eleven successive terms
taught in his native town, Is something
of which any man might be proud. AS
trustee of Foxcroft Academy, he has
constant interest in the education and
welfare of the young.
His sterling worth and ability have
been recognized outside his native place
and he most successfully filled various
important offices, having been on the
valuation commissions OF lSSO and lSS0
and also on the board of county com
missioners for several years. In TACT hs
was chairman of that body when th'
present county buildings were rebuilt
and had charge of the work. g..
Mr.. Gilman is an all-round, practical
successful farmer, owning fine farm o.
200 acres, purchased by his own earn
ings, every acre of which Is utilized tt
advantage, and on which he has erected
as fine set of buildings as can be founc
| in rural Maine. He carries herd OF q
cattle, and engages quite extensively
i'm dairyiug, but is believer In mixe'
farming. Raising horses is another lint
to which he has given some attention
He has large flock Of sheep and twelve
! 20 fifteen swine, which are all made Il
paw. Mr.. Gilman believes In moderl
methods, and is confident that agricult
ure in Maine is one Of the best occupa
tions for Young men who want TO max
living. He works out his theories II
practice, and has no high-hown ideas Oh
the subject of farming which are no
hacked by common sense. In short, d

women for some grievous fault against
the code of the Latter Day Saints.

An AuectlOte of Verdi.

The first production Of Verdrs OPP
era "Othello" took place at Milan, and
all the prominent musical critics Of Eu-
rope foregathered in the Cathedral
City In honor OF the occasion. Among
them was Partisan journalist OF wide
reputation and admitted authority in
the musical world. His first care on
his arrival in Milan was to seek out
Verdi and ask to be allowed to be pres
ent at one of the final rehearsals.
The composer received him with eN-
treme pollteness, but replied that he
could not possibly grant his request,
as he had decided that the rehearsalsl
were to be absolutely private, and he
could not make an exception In the IA,
vor Of any one journalist, however dis,
tinguished.
The Paris critic, far from pleased ut
this answer, protested that In these
circumstances his account OF the opera
might not be all he should like 1t to
be. "You see," he explained to the
composer, who affected not quite to
understand, 81 shall have to telegraph

impression in Paris the next day may

But Verdi was more than equal to
the occasion. "My dear sir" he made
answer, II do not write for the next
day'" The critic bowed himself out.

Treatment of Burns.

Burns may be ordinary, but they lose
none Of their smart because Of the ease
with which they are acquired. Some
persons seem to have perfect genius
for getting burned. II they strike q
match, it breaks and scorches them,
while a visit to the kitchen ends In
burn from the oven or scald from hot
water or steam. OF course the right
thing to do with burn Is to get It
away from all contact with the air ana
to do this with all possible haste.
The necessary articles for the treat
ment should be ON hand, and they are
baking soda-not washing soda, notice
fresh fat of some sort and several
thicknesses of cotton cloth. 1t Is an
excellent plan to have bottle OF car
ron oil ready for such emergencies.
Carron oil Is made by shaking together
equal parts Of linseed oil and limewa-
ter. II the skin is broken over the
burn, use the oil without the soda.
Otherwise moisten the soda with olive
oil or sweet oil or even lard or cold
cream and apply it. Over this wrap
the cloth. Cotton batting is often used
for covering the burn and keeping out
the air, but it is not to be recommend
ed. 1t is not a good plan to use -four,
dustIng 1t over burn, for 1t frequently
hardens and Is Of little comfort.
One of the simplest measures for
superficial burn is to apply the white OF
an egg with a soft piece Of old muslin,
adding more as 1t dries.

CORN AND PORK.

How many pounds of pork, as repre-
sented in live hog, does a bushel OF
corn represent, is a question which has
frequently arisen. 1t has been the Gus
tom in past years to count bushel OF
corn as equivalent to ten pounds weight
of the animal. Doubtless this NAV be
fair approximation, under careless feed
ing, such as turning the animals into the
field to help themselves to corn, or other
wasteful methods. But careful feeding
NAV bring far more important results.
Mr.. c. G. Neff of Cincinnati is inter-
ested with his brother in farming opera
tions near Yellow Springs, Greene
County, Ohio On Dec. IL they weighed
a bunch of fiftv hogs, and again weighed
them on Dec. 20 and 2S. The gain for
the corn fed during the first period was
an average of II $40 pounds 10 weight
per bushel of corn, and for the second
period a gain of Is 3-4 pounds per
bushel. In the first instance, calculst-
ing hogs at 81 60, the feeding value OF
the corn was 6S IL cents per bushel, and
in the second instance at Sf.6o for hogs,
the result represented 20 3-4 cents for
corn. The market value OF corn at the
same time was 80 cents per bushel. This
Is an interesting illustration OF what
profits can be realized In converting
grain into fat animals.-Cincinnsti Price
