large population at present mean that in
the future farms will be restricted in acre
age which will entail more systematic
fencing Farmers cannot afford TO let this
condition find them unprepared or expect
to meet it by a cash purchase OF material
The successful farmer will anticipate the
condition by producing on his farm such
timber as he can and sating his cash for
investment
Every farmer can greatly reduce the ex-
pense Of properly fencing his land by rails
ing the timber for posts. BY cultivaung
the hardy catalpa and black locust, this
can be done in from eight TO twelve years
on a comparatively small piece OF ground.
These species are of the most rapid growth,
are props gated the most easily and with
stand contact with the soil after they are
converted into timber. better than WOOD
from any other trees used for such pur-
poses.
1.-The black locust grows on almost any
kind Of soil. but better on sandy. gravelly
and bottom land II does not flourish on
wet and hard clayey soils. This tree does
well also on hill slopes. On account Of its
tendency to sprout and branch. close plant
ing is necessary; If in blocks. four feet
apart. but If in narrow strips. much closer.
Long trunks Will not form unless complete
shade is quickly secured.
THE locust sprouts from the stump when
cut down. and for this reason continued
crops may be taken from the same area.

Saved the Little Bottles.

I have a patient who is wonder
fully considerate of my interests" said
a prominent physician lately. "a few
weeks ago he had malaria, and I pre-
scribed quinine for him, giving him
four-grain capsules, so that he might
take the drug without discomfort. He
came out of his attack and a few days
later called to see me at my Office.
Judge Of my surprise when he exhibit
ed the empty capsules and said, Doc
tor, I thought you might like the little
bottles, SO I saved them and brought
them back He had emptied each four
grain dose Of the bitter powder, and
then essayed the rather hopeless task
Of washing it down with water: I

little bottles from him without a word
and next time I'll give him quinine

SOUVENIR CUPS LATEST.

Made of q New Metal and in Many
Fantastic shapes.
One Of the latest fads to show itself
in the jewelry trade is the souvenir
cup of metal. This article, says the
jewelers. Weekly, is already popular
in some sections Of the United States.
The souvenir spoon fad had it's origin
in Washington, D. c., and SO, too, the
souvenir cup in its present form, seems
to have first appeared in that city a
few months ago. It has now extended
to other cities. In Washington the
cups became a fad because that Is a
great tourist center. So far these cups
have all been made to order in Ger
many and imported by one or two
New York firms, who calm to have
control, for this country, of all manu-
features of the metal employed in this
form. But if the demand expands and
develops into a general fad there is
every reason to expect American
manufacturers to enter into competi-
ton with he German houses that now
have the monopoly. The metal used
Is the new Kayser linn metal, which
has come into demand lately for vari-
GUS uses, and the cups are sold either
in their natural condition or silver
plate inside and outside, or silver plate
outside and gold lined. The popular
shape is that Of a white tumbler three
and a half inches high by two and
three-eighths inches in diameter at
the top and one and ive-eighths
inches at the bottom. There are other
more fancy shapes, such as a small
German beer stein and a small thin
goblet eight or nine inches high. On
the sides are local designs which give
the cups their souvenir significance.

not be lost upon those who hear, nor
will its influence be powerless upon
him who bestows it. A cultivation OF
the thanksgiving habit will make to
grow the sense of appreciation, and
as a result our spirits will be sweet
ened, our souls enlarged and the whole
horizon of life beautified. Then the
ordinary affairs of life will never more
be commonplace; Jul conditions and
surroundings will always appear In q
fresh light. This is significant. The
man whose family find in him a source
of endless delight and joy is one who
does not suffer the common relation
ships and the daily intercourse to be-
come colOrless and arid. Such a man
keeps love alive by cultivating the
sentiment of affection. His face, his
voice. his deed, makes the cd courses
of life brim and sparkle with a full
current of tenderness and feeling. So
it is again with the great artist who
sees the common in an uncommon
light and clothes the most ordinary
objects with beauty and charm. In
like manner the religious nature dis
closes it's presence by the unfalling
freshness of it's feeling for all rela-
lions and seasons and customs and
days. It numbers its blessings daily.
and daily Ices it express gratitude be-
cause it feels deeply and gladly the
weight of it's vast Indebtedness. The
years may differ greatly in the COM
forts and blessings they bring. but
Gods unbroken beneficence knows no
divisions of time. His bounty is an
unbroken eternity. All years, how
ever hard in the experiences they
bring, are years OF blessedness; 1t
should be ours to receive what God
sends and to be constantly thankful.
We should thank him who has made
us and preserved us as a nation.
Who revealed this continent when
the proper time had come, and called
to its shores faithful and Cody men
who believed in Him and in men as
His children.
Who preserved the national seeds
planted in our colonies and united
them for liberty and independence.
Who made our young nation wise In
counsel and strong in defense.
Who pacifed the strifes and eradi-
Gated the j~ealousies that separated
our states and joined them anew in
one indissoluble union.
Who has given us the wisdom to es-
tablish free schools and free churches,
and has given us brave hearted and
clear headed men to sacrifice and toll
for the public virtue and peace.
Who has given us an open Bible, q
risen Christ, a loving church and a
redeeming God.
Who crowneth this year Of grace
with His bountiful goodness.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord
for His goodness and His wonderful
works to the children of men!

BIG STRIKE HAS BEGUN
rlachinists the Country Over De-
mand Nine.Hour Day.

Washington, May 21.-Approximate
ly $4,000 machinists throughout the
country struck for nine-hour day;
a scale of wages equal to the present
ten hours per day scale, and other
demands. This is the rough estimate
of President O'Connell of the Ma
tional Association of Machinists,
based on the telegrahpic advices that
have reached him from the machin-
lists headquarters in the various cit
les. The strike thus far has not ex-
tended to the allied trades, save in
one or two instances, as at Scranton,
Pa, where men in part of the allied
trades are out. No machinists engage
ed in government work are affected.
This is due to the fact that on such
work an eight-hour day scale already
prevails. Railroad machinists, as a
rule, are not involved i'll the strike,
though the men on several roads are
out. The Central Vermont shop ma
chinists at ST. Adams, numbering
probably 200, have struck. The Lee
high Valley railroad machinists at
Buffalo. Sayre, Willlesbarre and Ell
mira are out, aggregating about 500
all told. The Delaware, Lacllawanna
q Western men at Buffalo, Scranton,
Wilkesbarre and intermediate points
are out. The Gulf, Colorado & Santa
Re men are also out. The. strike or

railway employees strike, which was

lines of the United Traction com

and operations on the entire system
have been resumed. There have been
concessions on both sides, and an
agreement was reached at confer
ence, at which both the corporation
and operatives were represented, I'M
der which it should be possible to
avoid strikes in the future. The
company on it's part agrees to re-
ceive representations regarding griev-
ances from any committee of it's en-
ployes, representing organized or I'M
organized labor, that men suspended
or discharged by the superintendent
shall be entitled to appeal to the
executive committee of the company;
that in case employees can disprove
charges under which they We're sus-
pended or discharged they shall be
entitled to pay for the time they were
idle during such suspension or dis
charge and that there will be no dis
elimination against any of the men
who engaged in the strike except
those guilty of unlawful or riotous
acts. The company reserves the
right to employ union or non-union
men and to discharge employees for
cause.
