Captain Armstrong to Bond, the tall

Bond denied the charge, but admitted
that he came to Denver from Laramie,
Wyoming, two weeks ago. Captain
Armstrong asserts positively that the
man was in Jail there. and that it can
be proved at the proper time.
Didn't Like Policemen.
Bond said that he was employed as
a cook at Laramie and that he had been
idle since arriving in Denver. He could
not give a satisfactory account of his
actions while in Denver, and said that
he was on Capitol hill sightseeing"
What was the best sight you ran
across?" asked the captain.
ct wasn't them blamed policemen
replied Bond.
He said that he was stopping at the
Aspen house, and detectives were de
tailed to search his room, but found
nothing discriminating.
This is the greatest capture made in
months said Captain Armstrong.
For weeks we have been after these
two men and at last we have them. An
uninitiated person could not make a
mistake, but would pick them out of a
thousand. The large one only had a
gun for the smaller needed none. In
every instance the latter threw the gun
before the victim while the midget ran
up and riied his pockets. Then again.

Printing Done Here For England

According to a correspondent, q rep
resentative of provincial printing
firm called on London firm which
distributed circulars by the million.
He was asked to quote for a circular
from which the printers name had
been removed. An estimate was pre-
pared on the basis of a small turnover
profit, which, considering that the
works were situated in a rural district
forty miles from London, ON q rental
which. in the city, would not pay the
ground rent, was much below what
would be possible for London house.
Indeed, the representative was conf
dent of obtaining an order but was
thoroughly nonplussed when told the
price quoted was considerably above
that now paid. The firms printing
was done in the United States, tn. or
ders being given in such quantities as
to insure the lowest freight charges,
and after adding the latter, including
delivery to the door, the cost turned
out to be considerably below that of
the lowest estimate yet received from
any British tirm.-London News.

Old Hens.


Old hens as rule are not profitable
but by old hens we do not mean
those that are one or two years old
for such may often be the very best
layers during the winter.
The usefulness of hen to great
extent, depends on the care she gets.
We cannot expect half-fed, neglected
hens to moult early and be in condi-
ton to lay during November, and such
must be the case if we expect profita-
BILE hens.
A great many people seem to think
that the seasons work is ended with
the beginning of summer, when, as a
matter of fact, the hardest task has
just begun.
Special food and especial care are re-
quired in oruer that the hens may be
kept healthy
Of course less food will be required.
but we must see that they get what
they neeu regularly.
Pure, fresh water must be given,
and if there is no shade temporary
shelter must be erected.
Watch the hens carefully now and
they should moult early and begin to
lay before winter sets in.-Home and

How to Catch the Polar Bear.

I listened attentively the other night
to a gentleman who gave me great
deal of valuable information concern
ing these interesting regions. He
knew l was tenderfoot and news
paper reporter, and felt at liberty
therefore to talk freely, SO got a lot
of yarns about polar bears and wal
ruses and other creatures, large and
small, which are not related In natural
histories. l believe it was one Of the
advisers Of Alice in Wonderland who
suggested that the best way to catch
a rabbit is to get behind a stump and
make noise like a carrot, and
learned with great satisfaction that
the easiest way to catch polar bear
is to hide behind an iceberg and make
noise like the aurora borealis. Polar
bears are very tame, and, like news
paper reporters and some other peo-
pie, are gifted with inquiring minds.
When stranger comes out on the ice

A Eresh Air ClOspt.

A shaded, airy hall or porch is a
good situation for fresh-air closet in
which to store cooked food from one

Yorker. 1t is only frame box with
door and sides of wire gauze and
shelves across the inside. 1t is best
made fast to the wall at such a height
as to be safe from prowling cats. and
should have further a trusty lock. Put
away food in it in clean earthern dish
es, never in any sort Of metal, not
even silver. Slip each dish into a
separate cheesecloth bag, and twist
the bag end tight. If ants, black or
red, discover the closet, paint the
wood box all outside with camphor
once a fortnight. Twice year take
down the whole contrivance and scald
it outside and in with boiling soda

tifully in it from one meal to the next.

Best Foods for Producing Eggs.

The best foods for producing eggs
depend upon the condition in which
the fowls are kept. In summer the
hens get variety of food, but in win
ter they have no choice of selection.
II the food is largely of grain the best
mode of inducing the hens to lay is to
withhold grain and give lean meat,
about an ounce a day to each hen.
Liver or other cheap forms of animal
food will also answer Dried ground
blood, animal meat and bone meal are
likewise excellent additions. When
the hens lay double-yolk eggs or eggs
with soft shells the cause is not due
to lack Of lime, as many suppose, but
10 too much fat on the body of the
hen, the remedy being nitrogenous
diet (mea0 instead Of grain. The
extra egg laid will pay for the more
expensive foods and give a profit as

Experimenting on Animal Minds.

One of the easiest "obstacle'' prob
lens is that OF drawing some object
which the animal wishes for through
set of bars Or wires. This is n COIN
mon difficulty in he daily life of cap
tive animals, and one III which it
would be quite easy to note their re-
spective shifts and devices. The clev-
crest mode of coping with a difficulty
somewhat of this nature now exhibit
ed by any animal in London is the
way in which the large African ele-
phant at the Zoo restores to his would
be entertainers all the biscuits, whole
or broken, which strike the bars and
fall alike out of his reach and theirs
in the space between the barrier and
bis cage. He points his trunk straight
at the biscuits and blows them hard
along the floor to the feet of the per-
sons who have thrown them. He clear
ly knows what he is doing, because if
the biscuit does not travel we'll he
gives it harder blow.-The Spectator.

Care of Gilt Picture Frames.

When dull, dark effects came to re-
present the artistic idea so far as pic
ture frames go, there was one advan-
tage that arrived at the same time in
the fact that they were not gilded. A
gilded frame seems to represent lux
ury to flies and to dust and sometimes
it can be cleaned, often it needs to
be retouched and again 1t needs re,
gliding. If there is nothing really the
matter with gilded frame except
that it's bright hue has appealed too
strongly to flies, then all that is need
ed is alcohol applied lightly by means
of soft brush. The alcohol softens
the spots which can then be rubbed
off with a bit of cloth. 1t is said that
il one takes the proper precautions
early in the season, there will be none
of these fly specks to wash off and
it is also said that the proper precau-
tion means washing the frames with
water in which many strong onions
have been boiled. This is a radical
measure. Altogether nicer is the idea
of gently brushing over the gilt with
the well-beaten white of an egg using
piece of soft cloth in the process.
The dust which the summer has left,
as we'll as the fly specks, will respond
quickly and the frame will be much
refreshed.-New YORK Sun.

Hieh-POsted Barna.

Every farmer knows that nearly the
buildings is in the roof If the ground
floor plan is of the same size it costs
but little more to put the roof on q
building % or "a feet high in the post
than on one II to ii feet high, and
the capacity is about doubled. We say
about but not quite even if the height
OF the posts is quite doubled, for with
the greater height comes tendency to
increase the distance between the
ground floor and that above, and usu-
ally in modern buildings to widen
them out, especially in stables and in
the barn floor. Thus the barns Of our
grandfathers' day, some of which are
standing yet, that were usually 24x30
feet on the ground, with 12-foot posts.
have given away to those 2Sx42 with
Is to 24-foot posts even where the
farm is no larger than before. 1t may
be more productive, and if not the ami
mails have more room, and SO do those
who have to care for them and work
about them. The forage for them is
all put under the roof, instead of being
stacked up outside. There is more
sunlight and more pure air where the
modern abominable barn cellars have
been put in, to fill the space above with
the fumes of decomposing manure. and
the health of animals and the owners
Ia better assured This alone repays
the cost of building higher, and the
modern hay fork and carrier make II
easier to put fodder over a beam "a
feet from the floor than it used to be
when we were young to throw it with
fork to IL feet high. The cost of this
labor saving machinery is small COM
pared to the value of the space gained
by the increased height of building.

Value Of Shredded Fodder.

There are many ways of saving the
fodder crop, and probably all OF them
will be resorted to in different COM
munities by farmers who find them
selves short of feed. When fodder is
cut at the right time and cured like
hay, it has to 10 times the value of
a field that is left to stand as winter
pasture" hence the prudent farmer
must devise some plan to save the
crop this year. Hay will command a
good price, while shredded fodder is
perfect substitute for it in feeding,
even for horses. The farmer who is
supplied with hay can make money
by selling it and feeding his fodder,
and those who have fodder to spare
may find market for it among their
neigh hbors. The cash market for shred
ded fodder is growing every year, and
Il will not be many years until it's
cash value everywhere is recognized
as nearly equal to hay.-Farm, Field
and Fireside.

Cruelty to an animal is always an
expensive business.
Ducks and geese should be kept sep
arate from the other poultry.
Many diseases of the horses feet
are due to wearing shoes too long.
The profits from raising poultry de-

Don't be afraid to plant apple trees.
The foreign demand for this fruit is
increasing year by year.
When training your colt teach him
to have a quick walk Fast walking
horses always bring extra money in a
sale.
Brood sows require food rich in the
clements of bone and muscle; corn is
not suitable, as it contains an excess
OF fat.
So many of the diseases Of the pigs
are contagious that it is safe plan to
separate sick pig out the first time
it is noticed.
Hogs are nearer self sustaining, and
will do more foraging than any animal
and there is less labor in preparing
food for them.
A permanent pasture, if fed close and
late, ought to have some other fertiliz-
er than the droppings of the animals
that feed on it.
The land is exactly like bank. You
cannot draw without depositing. Don't
expect to draw crops from the land
without depositing fertilizer.
Winter dairying is claimed by some
to be more profitable than summer
dairying, as the farmer has more time
at his disposal to care for his COWS.
Your potato crop should be harvest
ed as soon as ripe. Those that are not
wanted Immediately should be stored
in dry, cool and comparatively dark
place.
If you desire to know what to feed
your flock of hens when they are shut
up just watch them when they are
gathering food for themselves and
henoeforth you will not deprive them
of green food, gravel, etc. They can
pick up many bits of coal, broken
earthen ware, and in fact, a variety Of

Is Mon tana creeping into Idaho and
Wyoming? There is some evidence on
the affirmative side of the question,
but not enough to cause alarm IN any
Of the three States. Still, for several
years 1t has been known that there IS
some trouble with Montana's founda-
tions, which are slipping and leaving
evidence of the fact on the Surface of
the ground.
Railway companies have found quite
plain and strange twists in the align
ment of their roads, and civil engin-
eers have found "bench marks" chang.
ing their elevations in confusing
manner. Quite recently these reason
ably suspected movements have be-
come apparent, and left large cracks
in the earth at several points in the
city of Butte, extending for number
Of feet. and being in extreme cases
twelve inches wide. The effect Of this
is not only to throw railways out of
line, but to cause much more serious
damage to gas pipes and water mains.
Biologists say that nothing serious
is threatened, and that parts Of Mon
tana are only doing in a more marked
manner what is going on all over our
