Lighter Horses Better,
Farmers who have watched the ease
with which the large draft horses han
die heavy loads on good roads or city
pavements have been led to think that
a heavy horse must be the better ami
NAL In all cases, and we see many
farm teams that are far inferior in the
amount of work they can do in plow
Ing or III drawing load upon soft
ground than much lighter team would
do easily. Then the heavy horses are
driven over our billy roads often at a
rate of speed that causes them to pound
the earth SO that the legs give out, and
they are quickly lame. 1t certainly re-
quires more food to sustain a 1000
pound horses than one weighing from
1000 to 1900 pounds, and when not
constantly employed drawing heavy
loads the amount of work done by the
heavy horses does not compensate for
the extra cost of maintaining them. AS
farmers will have next spring to buy
horses or many will we advise them to
turn their attention to the smaller
horses from Canada il they can be
found rather than to the Percherons
and Shire horses that have been SO pop
ular lately. They will cost less prices,
cost less to keep, do about as much
work and endure much longer.-Ameri.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Sit will not
do to allow the notion TO get out that
Senator Hanna of Ohio will have no
great influence with the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration He will be as powerful
with it as he was with the Mckinley
Administration That understanding
was reached at the White House when
Senator Hanna came TO have his first
I real conference with the new Presi-
I dent.
Senator Hanna seemed in good
health. although he walked as If his
knee were still refractory. He shook
hands with all the people waiting to
see the President After a very short
time he was shown into the cabinet
room. He and Mr.. Milburn had a con-
ference with the President and then
went before the cabinet to explain the
plan for the national Mckinley me
mortal. They were long time with
Secretary Cortelyou who is identified
with the work of the memorial COM
mittee
This was the first part of the Sena-
tors business. He went TO the Airing
ton Hotel for luncheon, and at p. m.
drove back TO the White House. This
time he was alone. He remained with
the President for several hours and
took dinner with him.
At this conference Mr.. Hanna and
the President talked over all proposed
legislation They discussed the ship
subsidy project at length, and went in
to reciprocity and many of the other
topics that will be treated by the Pres
ident in his forthcoming message to
Congress. When he left the White
House Mr.. Hanna had little to say, ex-
cept that he had had "a good long
talk with the President on all sorts of
public matters and some private ones"
This afternoons meeting between
the President and Senator Hanna was
important. On the surface the two
men are friends, but during the four
hours they were together they were
feeling each other out" There have
been assurances, but back of these are
the determination on the part of Sena-
tor Hanna not to become an obscurity
and the fact that Roosevelt intends to
be his own Warwick, if there is to be
any Warwick at all.
The outcome of the conference was
said to be satisfactory" Probably

Last Monday the representatives Of
the Public Works Department went to
Olaa where a meeting was held at
which residents were present to men
ton the needs of their respective
districts. People interested in the
condition Of the Volcano road were
the first to speak.
The demand for improvement was
accentuated bv the recent serious
damage done to the road by the heavy
rains. II was explained that the road
is in a dangerous condition at many
places and is unfit for traffic almost
its entire length.
Mr. BOYD threw a bomb-shell into
camp by saving that the last legisla-
ture made no appropriation whatever
for the repair or improvement on the
Volcano road. He said II was up to
Senator Russell and Representative
Nailima to explain why they allowed
the appropriation bill to pass without
this necessary item. There was sharp
colloquev between Senator Russell and
the Superintendent of Public Works
upon the question.
Peter Lee spoke saying that ii was
q remarkable state Of affairs when
the legislature fails to make provision
for the care and maintenance Of
road which required S125,000 to build.
He pointed out the dangerous condi-
ton of the highway at many points.
Mr. Bovd replied by saving that
there was no way of meeting the diff
ficulty unless some public spirited citi-
zen with money would advance the
cash relying upon the next legisla-
lure for reimburse ment.

Is it possible for any living creature
to pass from one planet to another?
Scientists say that it is not only pos
sible, but that minute living creatures
have actually reached this world from
other worlds hundreds of millions OF
miles away.
Every year hundreds of tons of mat
ter called star dust are attracted to the
earth. This star dust consists of small
meteoric fragments, which have been
hurting through space until they have
been drawn toward our planet, like
iron filings toward a magnet.
Many years ago it was suggested that
the lowest form of life-bacteria-
might have been brought in this way,
but it was thought that the intense
cold of space would have made it inn
possible. Experiments with liquid air,
however, have shown that the lower
forms of life are able to survive the
intensest cold. Temperature of 300
degrees below zero does not kill them
After exposure to such cold they begir
to multiply again as soon as placed in
favorable conditions.

Frederick Emory, who has recently
become known as the author of "A
Maryland Manor" does not make a
business of writing fiction, even of the
historical sort. AS chief of the bureau
of foreign commerce in the department
of state at Washington he devotes
himself to the task of selecting from
the reports of consuls of the United
States such as ought quickly to be
spread before the business men Of the
country, so they may take prompt adj
vantage of opportunities to grasp new
trade abroad. The issue of the daily
bulletins of consular reports begun by
him has come to ne regarded as indis-
pensable, and the appreciation of the
service is shown by the frequency with
which the information contained in The
hilletins is printed all over the coun-
try.

in the morning as in the evening, and
at midday it is again quite different.
lAt few places do the lights and shad-
lows produce more impressive effect
upon the landscape than here.
To see the sunset from the Greek
ltheater at Taormina is an event in
!anyone's lifetime. There is no other
place where such sight can be seen.
AS the sun sinks behind the mountains
shadows creep over the theater deepen
Ing, ever deepening, till it becomes
quite gray and dark, while the Gala
bian mountains on the Italian shore
are still rosy and luminous, and Aetna,
towering far above them all, seems
still light almost to it's base. Gradu-
ally, however, the vast mountains be-
gins to glow. 1t becomes deep purple
down among it's valleys, then amethys-
time, then more roseate till the snow
crowned dome shines out out in radi-
ant pink.
Long after the ssa has lost it's blue
land the shadows have covered even the
highest Italian mountains, after even
the clouds that have been bathed in
rosy light are beginning to pale, there
is still a radiance about the crest of
Aetna. 1t seems as if the great dome
far up in the heavens were luminous
in itself, light-giving perhaps because.
of the fires within. But no, that can
not be, for as the moments pass a
pearly gray succeeds the rose color,
and only the column of smoke re-
mains, red, like a pillar of fire, upon
this highest, purest sanctuary of the
Sicilian land. At last even this one
CLEAN of color fades away, aud for
time deep shadows cover the vast
mountain and all its attendant peaks.
But soon the moons light touches
the white dome of Aetna. Then broad
path of silver leads across the sea
from Italy to Sicily. At last all the
gray rocks and crags and castles and
the little towns and monasteIies that
rest quietly on their hill crests are
| silvered by the moonbeams. The great
mountain that dominates all the land
is bathed from base to dome in a
! flood of tremulous moonlight In such
light and such a place all the Won
derful story of Sicily seems to be told
again. The old people who lived mere
long before the Greeks built yonder
castle far above the theater. Then the
Greeks came and Syracuse aro-e in all
her grandeur, and the majestic tenn
pies crowned the hills about Girgenti.
Then came the Romans and conquered
after long wars, leaving their amphi-
theater and many another noble build
ing to tell of their power Christians,
Saracens and Normans follow in the
train of these, and with them came
Monreale and the Royal Chapel, lus-
trous gems of art, inspired by the love
and power of the Conquering Christ
Where is another land like this in
which history and story and the most
exquisite beauties of nature and OF
art are blended in so marvellous way!

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF
TAORMINA.
Story of tho Old Monastery of San Do
menico--scenes In and About Taor-
mina-The Crowded Mountain Peaks
of Aetna,
(Rome letter.

In my stay at Taormina l found out
more about the old monastery at San
Domenico, which is now hotel. The
story is more interesting even than
had thought at first. The monastery
was founded by Dameano Rosso in the
year 1430. He was a direct descendant
OF Tancred PHauteville, and therefore
claimed kindred with William the
Conc aeror. The place has remained in
the possession of the Rosso family ever
since and it was the present repre-
sentative of the family who told me
Its story. In all It's long history SER
vices in the church have been kept
up, and they are so still in one of the
chapels, though this is only a private
for the Rosso family and their house
hold.
The wood carvings in the choir and
the sacristy and on the pulpit, which
are so marvelously rich and fine, were
the lifework of one of the old Benedic-
tine monks, who labored upon them
forty years, finishing in the year 1902.
This man must have been kind of
Fra Angelica, for every figure bear
testimony to his fervent piety as we'll
as to the exquisite refinement of his
art and the religious scrupulousness
with which every detail was wrought
out. The lovely surroundings of his
monastery taught the monk how to
adorn his stalls and his pulpit, and
right we'll did he use the flowers, fruits
and leaves that filled his garden and
covered the mountain sides above and
! below his cell in embellishing his cap
tails and corbels and all the surfaces OF
! his construction work. There is among
the other carvings a curious "Tree o.
| ST. Domenic," whose body seems tt
have been a fruitful soil for the pro
duction of abbots and saints, for eacf
branch of the tree that grows from
his side has borne fruit in one of them
The same most pious and devoted
monk had time in spite of his forty
years of carving to paint the missal o
the church and adorn it with piou
care.
One must linger awhile at Taormini
to learn about it's beauties. No hast.
glance suffices. The theater in tn
arms of its mountains is not the sam
