FOLLOWED THE LEADER.
A Case Where Naval Cadets Turned
DISCIPLINE Into q Joke.


Discipline Into Joke.
Among other good stories told by
Cyrus Townsend Brady in his Under
Tops'ls and Tents" published by Serb
ners, is this:
1t is related that large number Of
naval cadets were negligent in follow
ing the service in the chapel, which was
after the ritual of the Episcopal
church. An incautious officer in charge
on Sunday morning made a little adj
dress to the church party on the sub
ject, saying he supposed that some of
them erred through ignorance, but If
they would observe him carefully and
do as he did-in military parlance, fol-
low the motions of the commanding Of
fcer-they would not go wrong.
Word was passed quietly through the
battalion. They marAled into the
church. The officer in charge took his
place in the front pew, settled himself
in his seat and calmly blew his nose.
Three hundred noses were blown 81
simultaneously with a vehemence that
was startling. The officer looked around
and blushed violently in great surprise
Three hundred heads followed the mo-
lions of the commanding officer" Six
hundred cheeks violently tried to blush.
hard thing to for mtdshipman to do,
and so on through the Service.
The man could not stir without in
slant imitation. He finally confined
himself strictly to the prescribed rit-
ual of the service, looking neither to
the right nor to the left, not daring to
raise finger or breathe out of the or
binary course. This enterprise also
was a startling success.
The cadets received other instructions
later in the day from furious officer
who sternly resented their innocent
statements that they did not know
which was ritual and which was not
and that he had not instructed them
that blowing his nose stood on differ
ent plane from saying his prayers. 1t
was huge joke everywhere.

BEE AND HIVE.

If the hive rests on the ground, it
will be too damp.
1t will pay to use foundations by fill
ing all frames full.
Set the hive little above the ground
to admit of a circulation of air.
From o'clock a. m. to 3 o'clock p. m.
includes the hours of successful operat-
ing with bees.
Procure new blood in the apiary. In
breeding is as Objectionable with bees
as with live stock.
1t is necessary to unite all weak col
onies that will be unable to build up
into strong stocks.
Care should be taken to save all
young brood and the brood combs of
those containing brood.
On account of it being the only ma
terial that can be depended upon to
stay pine is the best material for hives.
Combs should not be left in empty
hives about the apiary. That is the
worst place they can be left, as moths
are always to be found near the bees
and are sure to infest the combs.
One advantage in closed end frames
is that a hive full of combs may be
handled as though it were single
piece instead of a collection of loose
pieces, thus saving work, worry and
time.
If the bees cannot conveniently enter
the hives during the sudden changes of
cool weather, quite a number will be
lost; hence care should be taken to
have the entrances arranged so that the
bees can enter readily.

HOW TO GET A START.

There is one avenue always open to
any industrious and economical young
man whereby he may get start in
life, and that to hire out as a farm
hand You ask, How can fellow ever
get a start in this way? Well, let's
see. A good farm hand can today com
mand 1915 per annum, his board and
washing. He can save Of this amount
1925 each year if he will. Five years
so spent will give him capital enough
so that he would be safe in buying a
piece of land and starting business on
his own hook. While he is doing this,
however, he wants to let Hverymen,
nice girls and dude clothes strictly
alone and put in his spare time reading
and fitting himself to fill a larger place.

NEW COLORINGS.

sequin Gowns No Longer Such Fa-
vOrites ms Formerly.
Darker colorings are now in request
for autumn wear. There are delightful
shades of brown which combine well
with touches of the new pinks and
blues and even look well with dahlia
and heliotrope. Brown is also very
pretty with creamy white vests and
yellowish lace, and the latter is espe-
cially effective when threaded with tur-
quoise or black velvet
Self colored materials are all the
style, and anything figured, with the
exception of foulards and like thin ma
terials, is very much passe.
Sequin gowns are no longer in high
favor. With the present fad for deli
cate effects, they are considered too
glazing and hard. Even their most fond
admirers must admit that they often
startled rather than pleased.
A very elegant Partisan tea gown is
shown in the cut. 1t is of mauve chif-

SEDUCTIVE sTnLoIN STEAKS.

1t is not very long ago, only very
few years, when the first shipments of
American dressed beef were made to
England. This meat was treated with
the greatest contempt by the English
beefeater, and it was extremely difficult
to get any dealer to handle 1t. For long
time all that was sold was palmed off
as English grown beef. This prejudice
at last was overcome, and now the de-
mand for American beef has become so
pressing that the beef producing inter
ests of that country are protesting and
demanding that the authorities shall
take some steps to protect their inter
ests. 1t is hard proposition to meet,

TuE ALnERTA COUNTRY.

We are asked about the Alberta coun-
try, in the far northwest of the British
possessions. This country is a long
way off, but is gradually being made
accessible by new lines of railway.
While it lies in latitude so to 50 degrees
north, a latitude where ordinarily
short, hot summers and long, cold win
tiers are the rule, it still lies so far west
that the extremes of cold are greatly
tempered by the influences of the Japan
current on the Pacific coast, which
manifests itself in the form Of the
"chinook" winds. The country is well
watered, has a sufficient RAINFALL pos
sesses a lie soil and is within easy
reach of unlimited supplies of coal and
timber. We should take it to be mag
pificent country for the raising of stock

and so very far removed from the set

the country.

Knots on Trees.

In the barks of our forest trees are
contained multitude of latent buds,
which are developed and grow under
certain favorable conditions. Some
trees possess this property in a remark
able degree, and often, when the other
parts are killed down by frost, the
property of pushing out these latent
buds into growth preserves the life of
the plant. These buds, having once
begun to grow adhere to the woody
layer at their base and push out their
points through the back toward the
light.
The buds then unfold and develop
leaves, which elaborate the sap carried
up the small shoot. Once elaborated it
descends by the bark, when it reaches
the base or inner bark Here it is ar
rested, so to speak, and deposited be-
tween the outside and inner layer of
bark, as can be learned ON examining
specimens on the trees in the woods
almost anywhere.

FOOL LUCK.

A farmer sent a green hired man out
with the planter to plant big field of
corn last spring. The farmer supposed
that the hired man knew how to oper-
ate the machine, and he did, as 1t
turned out. About the time he had the
field planted the farmer went out to
the field and discovered that the man
had set the machine so that all the
seed corn was planted from four to five
inches deep. Then the farmer lifted up
his voice and cussed this hired man in
a most eloquent agricultural way.
Well, third Of the corn never showed
above ground. and what did had a
hard pull to get through and looked
very tired. The crop was cared for,
however, and then came the drought,
and the cornfelds with good stand
and properly planted little by little
gave up the ghost and became an acre
age of scared fodder, while the hired
mans field with it's thin stand and
deep rooted corn showed up green and
luxuriant and will make a crop of
forty bushels per acre. Fool luck, was
It not?

GRAPES AND WIRE FENCES.

We noted lately a wild grapevine
which had appropriated section of
barbed wire fence in a cornfeld upon
which were over one hundred punches
of fine wild grapes. Let us look at this
a moment. Suppose next spring you go
along that line of wire fence and stick
in some wild grapevines a rod apart,
That's all you need do, and in a couple
of years your good wife can so there

STYLISH WAISTS.
Many of Them Have the Openwork
Hemstitched Eject,


Pretty waists are made of taffeta or
namented with rows of hemstitching.
This hemstitching gives semitrans-
parent effect when the goods are cut out
from beneath. These waists are usual
ly worn over Innings of contrasting col
ors. Thus a waist Of navy blue will
show glimpses of bright red silk. White
and brocaded satin held together with
gold thread hemstitching is one of the
novelties. These white waists are
worn with lace or crepe de chine skirts.
Most of the separate waists show
very elaborate trimmings, and lace and
embroidered mousseline boleros figure
largely on the most elaborate Of them.
Waists made of three different shades
Of lace are the latest fad in Paris.

wool yelling with silk figure is shown

WHAT FIFTEEN ACRES OF CORN
WILL DO.

Here is his story, and he passed for
a truthful man and good citizen, be-
sides being a pillar in his church. Said
he: "Last winter l wintered from the
LIST of December up to the LIST Of April
-four months-115 head Of stock, made
up of cows, young cattle, horses and
colts, upon the corn fodder produced
upon fifteen acres of corn which yield
ed seventy-five bushels per acre, this
fodder being all the roughage this lot
of stock had" This statement hardly
needs any comment, for it tells it's own
story. 1t is well worth thinking over
by all men who raise corn and leave
che stalks to waste in tile field.

THE CUBAN DELEGATION
Completed Its Labor in Washing
ton Before the Start
OF PRESIDENTS EXCURSION.

Washington. April 3o.-Senor Capote
the head of the Cuban delegation,
asked the president to do something
for the Cubans upon economic line
and especially in the matter of recip-
rocal trade relations. He said that it
was especially desirable to have some
thing of this lind done before the next
crop was harvested, in order that the
Cubans might see the advantages to
them of close political and economic
relations with the United States In
reply the president said it was impos-
sible to settle the economic questions
until the political questions were dis
posed of. He told the delegates first
to form their government and they
would be in a position to enter into ne
gotiations with the United States TO
trade relations.
He would appoint commissioners i'm
mediately after a government was or
ganized to negotiate with similar com
missioners from the Cuban government
for reciprocal trade relations and he
believed that the United States would
be ready to deal in manner which
would be beneficial to both countries.
Senior Capote, speaking to Secretary
Root, expressed the hope that in the
interviews that had been held he had
said nothing in his earnestness in ar
gument, which in any way often
sive. The secretary replied that,
the contrary, he highly appreciated
the arguments of Senior Capote and his
knowledge of the questions had in
creased his admiration and respect for
the legal abilities and keenness of the
Cuban people.
General Wood, however, does not
hesitate to state that the Cubans have
been impressed with the treatment
they have received and the attentions
shown them and to say that undoubt-
edly they return with more correct
understan ding Of the meaning of the
terms of the Platt amendment and of
the sincere desire of the American gov
eminent to put Cuba her feet as an
independent government than they
had before.

work on New Canal Treaty.

Washington, D. G., April so.-The
admin stration has succeeded at last in
securing a collection of opinion from
the leaders of the senate of all political
parties upon which to base negotia lions
for a new isthnian canal treaty to re-
place the Hay-Pauucefote treaty. In
other words. it is aware of the wishes
of most of the senators, and the only
problem before the state department
is to frame a treaty that will reject
those views, insuring a two-thirds vote
for ratification, and yet be accepta BILE
to the British government. IF, as re-
ported from London, the sine qua non
is a neutrality clause, officials here feel
that success on this point is within
reach.
1t is expected that two drafts of a
treaty will be framed before long,
probably the latter part of June on
Mr. Hays return from the West. If is
hardly expected, however, that final
results will be attained before next
autumn, after the return of Lord
Pauncefote from London.

Leases and Fences.
Topeka, April 2o--The law giving
coun ty- clerks the right to lease unOc-
cupied school lands, passed two years
ago, has arisen to cause the state some
emba rrassment- Now that the food
of immigration has headed once more
toward Kansas, there are repeated calls
for information conceI ming unOccupied
school lands open for purchase Many
immigrants want to bay lands. These
lands are mostly fenced now and the
state wants the fences torn down. But
the cattlemen have the lands leased
and they are entitled to keep the fences
up long the leases last Again,
long the land is leased homeseel<-
ers cannot get possession of it This
will greatly hamper the sale of unoccu-
pied school lands, but there Is no way
to help it. The federal government
can enforce the order requiring cattle
men to tear down fences around gov
eminent lands, because the govern
ment does not lease the land to the
cattlemen- They SIMPLY get the
of the land for nothing But with the
state it is different. 1t leases its school
land and gets revenue out of it. The
leases are in the nature of contracts
and the state cannot do anything ia
abrogate existing contracts.
