II is written that children and fools

people who think man who gets drunk
IS a fool. We suppose those who accept
the old adage us true will also hold il

One OF the men who are now DENYING
that Mr.. Addicks made Delaware n Re
publican State, told us. not very long
ago under peculiar circumstances. that
Mr., Addicks had made Delaware a
Republican State, and that he ought to

The moral of this story is that some
men have to get drunk occasionally to
tell the truth-or they would forget how

Russian Prison Defects In siberia

every part of the prison that I could

Fnte OF old oyercnnta

"Where do the old overcoats go?" Is
q query that is IA natural successor to
the old riddle: where do the flies go
in winter" The old oyercoats seem
somehow to fade away, no one knows
just how The overcoat starts its ca
reer on the back of its owner who paid
s45 for 1t. 1t keeps him warm and
shelters him from cold winds and from
storms until it commences to get
frayed at the edges and the pockets are
torn down the sides. Then the owner
uses the coat for rainy days only, and
no more does he take it to call on his
tiancee or to recline on the back of a
chair while he is reading at the club
He keeps it another summer and the
moths get into it, and when he takes
it out in the fall it has holes here and
there. So the owner gives it to the
janitor-if the janitor is not cold.
naughty man-and the janitor wears il
awhile until his wife gives ii to the
tramp who wheeled out the three bar
vels of ashes. The tramp wears it until
the old coat commences to fall apart.
Then he gives 1t to another tramp, and
it falls apart still more. And then,
some day, the coat has entirely disap-
peared. No one knows how or when.
The coat just simply faded away.
That's all anybody knows about it,

The Smart OF the Burn.
From the SMYRNA Call

From the Smyrna Call
Most Of us felt that the Governor was
entitled TO have u Secretary of State to
nit him. But the Governor and his
friends show up mighty small in the
cochran matter. 1t is hard for news
paper 10 stand up for anything like
fair-play in Il logeat-,log game. When
our Addicks enemy used to be under
meath he talked lnc Il nice sort of II
fellow who wanted to live and let live.
When he gets on top he likes choke
and gougc en- politics. Wen we shall
understand one another better in the
future perhaps. But this writer would
have been glad to have candidly nd
mittrd that our political enemies in the
state were to some extent and in some
particulars hcnping fire on our Demo-
cratic heads.

NOTE THE SIGNS.

Despite their growing. the desperation
of the Anti-Addicksites is sure indi-
cation Of their fear of defeat. The one
peculiar quality of a good cause is that
which suStains its advocates. The Union
Republican cause in Delaware involves
in It's success all the sentiment, purpose
and practice of good politics. 1t will
succeed, Circumstances, made by the op-
position to him, have made Mr.. Addicks
the representative champion and de-
fender Of political reform III Delaware.
Tho peoples cause is his cause. They
VIII succeed and he will be elected Sen

Philadelphia is SO stepped in vice, her
officials SO corrupt and venal, that II Is
only with the help of good men from
other cities, that private conscience can
be reused to an intensity that will make
men rise in angry protest and sweep the
boodlers and those whom they protect IN
eviI-doing into the Schuylkill and the
Delaware. Foolish Reformers. Untruth-
full Reformers. Unclean Reformers. 60

TIMELY o NOTES.

Whenever an animal is fed and no
gain procured, it is kept at a double
loss.
A grade sire is bound to breed your
herd down, not up. He may show
some ancestral merits, but he has no
power to transmit them. The i'm
provement has ended with himself.
Straw which has been cut is better
for bedding stock stabbed, for the rea-
son that it is a better absorbent of
liquid manures, and hat it rots more
rapidly when put in the field, and is
therefore more available.
IF you keep dates of breeding you
will give better attention to the an
ima1. If you have only grades. but are
grading up. the pedigree becomes i'm
portant with every cross. This is
one of the little easy things too often
neglected. Such records become inval-
liable after a time
For lice on cattle, take a good sized
tin box, punch holes through the
cover and partially fill with powdered
sulphur. Sprinkle the whole length
of the animals back, from head to
tail, and in about two weeks if any
lice remain go over again lightly.

ALFALFA STACK COVER.

laid, beginning at the top of the stack,
so hat the upper overlaps the one just
below, and all are held in place by be-
ing stapled to pieces of No. II smooth
wire, one. wire within a few inches
of the ends of the boards and as many
between as may be thought necessary.
With the shorter sections the end
wires are sufficient. These wires go on
the outside of the boards and are left
long enough at the four rne to
fasten on a weight to keep the cover
in place. The use of weights is much
better than stalking down, as the set
Ting of the stacks will not cause the
roof to become less solidly in place.
Painting the boards will preserve
them, and if rolled up and stored in
the dry or laid on logs to keep from
getting damp when not in use, they
will last for years. In taking down a
stack, but one section need be re-
moved at a time, thus exposing but a
small portion of the stack. In getting
the stack ready for putting on the
cover do not top out with a high CEN
ter, but put on only a well-rounded
top. L. Irwin, in Ohio Farmer.

SOME USEFUL HINTS.

To break ice in small pieces use q
darning needle.
Enameled ware is easily cleaned
with powdered pumice stone.
Dishcloths should be washed, scald-
ed and dried daily, or they will become
musty and unfit. for use-
The dust cloth for any room should
he lightly s~prinkled before using and
sbould be washed and dried after
every busting operation. Dirty dust
cloths do more harm than good in
cleaning a room.
Glass shoppers in bottles may easily
he removed when they have become
6xed by pouring hot water over the
neck of the bottle. The heat causes
the glass to expand and it then being
considerably larger than the stopper
the latter can be easiJ withdrawn.
The eyes often are inju-d in infancy
bv being exposed to o. much light.
The child should not be held or al
lowed to sleep With the light from win
dow. lamp or gas shining upon its
face. The old-fashioned cradle, with
IT'S hood, was far more sensible than
the modern cribs and bassinets that
afford no protection from either glare
or draught-

ALFALFA A COVER.
One That Is Said to Be Equal to Stor-
ing the Hay in n Barn or
Ordinary Now.

Alfalfa hay will not turn the rain,
no matter how well topped out a stack
may be. Where alfalfa hay is raised
extensively it is necessary to cover the
stacks in some way, or to top them
out with some kind of hay OF grass
that will shed the rain. We recently
saw a stack cover used on al alfalfa
farm which the owner said was equal
in keeping the hay to storing in a
barn or NOW.
The covers are made of ten-inch
boards in sections six, eight, ten or
twelve feet long, as suits as the pur-
pose and convenience. The boards are
