A Unique Prayer for the New Pres
ident.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Sept. 17.-One feature
of the prayer of Rev. Father Don Luigi Sar-
tori pastor of st. Joseph's Catholic Church,
Midland, Allegany county, recited in church
for the new President of the United States,
was as follows: "That he may prove cour-
ageous President in every respect for the
welfare of the people, quitting at once hunting
wild animals of the forest for the energetic
hunting down of the two-legged savage beasts
left roaming free about this vast civilized
country"

Caterpillar Itch Has Come.

BURLINGTON, N. j.. Sept. 10.-Many women
in Burlington are suffering from what is known
as caterpillar itch, which attacks the limbs
below the knees, and was at first evidenced by
the apparent uneasiness with which the ladies
listened to full hour sermon Sunday or two
ago. On that occasion they just rubbed one
foot against an ankle, and made the other act
in reciprocal manner.
Burlington is infested with an awful plague
of caterpilars, and the pavements are literally
alive with them In walking along the streets
the women's skirts gather up the fuzzy mate
rial from the insects and conduct it TO the

Lightning Let Loose a Torrent.

MAHANoY Cry, Pa, Sept. 16.-Thirty track
repair men of the Reading Railway, yesterday,
at Mahanoy Plane, sought shelter from Sc
we're rainstorm under water tank alongside
of the track. A bolt of lightning struck the
tank, and 60, 900 gallons of water poured down
upon them. For few minutes the men were
swept in every direction, believing their last
moments had arrived: They were left lying
in the open, thoroughly soaked, but none the
worse for the bath.

There is no reason why every Democrat in
Carroll cannot give the whole ticket, State,
judicial and Local, a thorough and hearty
support. Each nominee is of high character
and standing in his respective neighborhood,
is fitted for the position for which he has been
nominated, and compares favorably with any
heretofore placed before the public.

RAPID DEVELOPMENT WORK

THERE arc several remarkable in. ' stances of the prof; made in farm ing on tho Imperial lands. and of the rapidi;y with which crops have been brough; to the marketing point. To simply seleo; few illustrations, points important lcSSous
 Engineer F. r. Hall hired men to pu; in. cultivate and harvest fifteen acres of sorghum, the crop running io -s tons The entire expense was SIPS. and the crop was sold for SSso lon giving net prof; of scs7.so, or si9.i7 an acre. the crop being less than ihr e. months from seeding ,o marketing.
 W. A. and L.: M. VanHoru moved on their property July +,h. Within sixty days they had u,iilei in stack, and had fine crops of sorghum. corn. melons. pumpkins. squash. and many other vegetables maturing. while a; presen; they have half section of land which looks as though if had been under cul- iivation for generation. Cattle and horses are being fed tn abundance from the products of the land. and many tons of feed are ready for mar keting.
 T. P- Bautz has fine ranch a re- sul; of abou; sixty days work. and has brought in a drove of forty cattle. shipped from Arizona to FlowingwelI and thence driven 10 the farm, where they were giaddened by luxurious growth of sorghum. Mir. Bau;z has in his brief occupation of his ranch dem onstrased what can be done with the Rockyford eanialope, which never ac- quired a more pleasing flavor in its native haunt. As one of the early products of the valley, when railroads shall have been built, the Rochyford cantaIope is one of the cer;ainties. Another crop which Mir Bania has pa, in is alfalfa. which has already ap peared above the ground
 Mention might be made of the crops of J. F. Evans. W. F. Gillett, A. w Patton and numoer of others who have been demonstrating the produc- tive character of the land. but the idea is now mainly 10 call attention to the fact that in a number of instances farmers have had crops ready to mar. ket al from sixty to ninety days after moving on land which never had been touched by grader, blow or other agri- cultureal imple ment.
 The striking contrast between this experience of settlers on the Imperial tract and that O the pioneers of other portions of the continent. who labOred for many months or several years be fore they had a product 10 sell or mar. ket within reach, is such as must be noticeable to every body.

IRRIGATION FROM Int COLORADO
 RNfn
RIvtR

Imperial country and the Colorad' delta iu general:
 The most remarkable series of irri ga,icu projects ever wrcugh out In the United States Is rapidly taking form on the delta of the Colorado river, tho grcatcs, stream in the southwes, which carries suffcicu, water ,o irri. gate s,oco. .ooO acres of land.
 On the California side of the river Is the vast Colorado desert. Across the the international line tn Mexico, on the peninsula of Lower California, the desert extends to the southward. On the eastern. or Arizona side of the riv- CT. the desert extends from Yuma to the head of the Gulf of California and beyond.
 The series of projects now being cx. ecu,ed. and which has led to the pro- dac,ion of crops this year for the first time. include three irrigation canals in Arizona leading from the river. for the irrigation of about iSO.oOO acres of land, a considerable portion of which has been brought under cultivation during the las; few months.
 Another project is that about Indio. where some sixty wells have been drilled in an artesiau belt discovered a little over a year ago. and which has led 10 filings being made on about loO. 900 acres, several hundred of which territory is under cultivation at pres cut.
 The greatest of the projects, howev- CT, is that of the Imperial company, which has entered the gigantic task of irrigatiug SOO,0o0 acres of land in San Diego county, California, and S0O.OOO acres in Mexico, and which delivered its first water tn June of the present year.
 The water now deliverable 10 the Inn pcrial lands is equal to the irrigation of over lOO.ooO acres, and to this ad- di;ions arc being made rapidly. Sew eral hundred acres were planted in June ou the arrival of water. and fully 5000 acres will, in all probability, be sowed to alfalfa and other crops during the coming winter. Before water was placed on any of the land under this system, over 5000 acres were filed on last year by settlers under the desert land law and the homestead law, and hundreds of people are now rushing into the country anxious to take ad- vantage of the opportunity held out by the government to acquire cheap land by irrigation.
 From the present rush into the coun- try. it seems proba ble that within q year or SO the entire area of irrigable land on the delta in the United States will be taken mp. The average holding will be about loo acres. implying that some : 800 families will find homes on the delta withing the next year or two
 An illustration of the productive power of the soil is shown in the growth of sorghum, planted in June, a nd harvested in September. the stalk. being nine and ten feet in height, and the yield running six tons to the acre during the less than three months

"a bullet wound in my patient"
Sturgis was listening in an absent
minded way while his friend spoke.
1.-THE wound was not severe; no
bones broken. The bullet had entered
the palm of the left hand and had
passed up into the forearm"
A sudden light came into the report
er's eyes; but he maintained his list
less attitude.
"Well, sir, probe as I would, was
unable to locate that bullet. At last /
concluded to try the Roentgen rays.
and here is the result. 1t is as pretty a
shadow photograph as I have yet
seen."
So saying. DR.. Thurston handed the
reporter photograph, which the lat
ter studied carefully in silence.
"Notice how clearly you can see the
peculiar shape into which the bullet
has been fattened," said the physician.
EYES," replied Sturgis, 81 was obsery-
ing that. Have you duplicate of this
that you can spare?"
Eyes; keep that one if you wish"
THANK you; am very glad to have
it. Did you succeed in extracting the
bullet?"

op the photograph first
"Of course. When do you expect the
red-haired young man to return?"
"He promised to come back yester-
day, but he failed to do so," replied
DR.. Thurston. Then, suddenly:
"But who said anything about his
being young or red-haired?'
mot you, certainly, old man." re-
piled Sturgis, smiling. Don't worry;
you have not voluntarily betrayed, any
professional secret. But, for all that,
your patient is wanted by the police.
He was bound to fall into their hands
before long. The only effect of this
discovery will be to hasten the denoue-
ment. I had traced him to your house,
and I knew how he was wounded; SO
that I recognized him as soon as you
mentioned his case"
'Who is hep" asked Thurston. II am
sure have seen him somewhere before,
but cannot remember where"
Whereupon the reporter related the
story of Chatham's connection with
the Knickerbocker bank case.
