Wives Very Roughly Used by
Their Husbands.

The Mayor and wife beater were ev-
or of dissimiar mind, and when The
Man Of the Hour succeeds n convict
ing persons Of this offense. he generally
makes 1t as hot for them as he consci-
entiously can. George Henry and -ahn
Drope were arrested for this offense.
Wednesday, and they were up for
trial Thursday morning.
George Henry had come home drunk,
late at night, and his wife had locked
the door, so that he was barred In.
stead of trying to arouse her, Henry
broke in a window and his wife was
awakened by falling glass. She hur-
ried to let her husband in, but he en-

her down and beat and kicked her,
leaving, among other souvenirs of his
affection, two black eyes. His sentence
was sos and costs and 30 days in the
workhOuse.
John Drope's trouble was Of a slight

wife interfered, he tore her clothes,
struck and scratched her. knocked her
down and also choked her, so that sne

Drope denied most of the testimony as
given by his daughter, but the Mayor
paced no confidence in ms denial.

Some Radical Changes
In Government.
Three Boards to Replace Single
Director.

Cleveland, June 26.-The several de-
partments of the city government now
run under the guidance OF director,
will, under the new form of govern
ment, which must necessarily follow,
be directed by boards. There Is likely
to be n Board of Fire Commissioners
of four members, who will serve with
out pay; similar number OF men com
prislng the Board of Police to have
charge OF the police department also
without compensation, and boards re-
spcctively for the charities, and public
works departments.
There Is likely to he multiplication
In the number of officials to do tie
work which will make the government
OF the city more complicated than un-
der the federal plan, An instance OF
this Is that 1t will require three boards
TO manage the Charities department
while but one director is In charge now
The Director of Accounts will be sue
ceeded by city Auditor, who is ap
pointed by the Council for three
years term and is paid a salary. Th,
Director OF Law will be succeeded b,

The Mayor will have the appointment
Of these boards and individuals unit

If thoughtful woman were asked,
"What is the greatest curse of your
sex?" she might well answer, ''Im-
pulse" 1t is responsible for almost
all the mistakes made by the good
hearted among us. May it not safely
be said that few minutes thought
before speech or action would pre-
vent most fatal blunders? Many of
us are in positive bondage quick
ness to feel, to show our feelings,
to retort or to respond. If we are
hurt we must Immediately 'give our
selves away" as the phrase runs, if
not by bitter speech, at least by look
and manner, yet reflection frequent
ly brings the keenest regret for lost
dignity, the betrayed secret or other
i'll results.-Home Magazine.

ly low to receive the bed from the
wagon, the rope passes from one pull
ley toward the side of the barn floor,
then through a hole near the top of
the windlass or revolving pillar, as
shown in the engraving, and out
again to the other pulley.
The windlass may consist of six
inch cylindrical post which receives
the rope near it's top, while at con-
venient height from the floor are
holes for the insertion of levers used
in turning. The wagon being driven
into place, the stretchers are slipped
over each end of the bed, which is
then quickly and easily drawn to the
top by revolving the windlass. When
sufficiently high one of the levers is
left in place with the outer end rest
ing against some upright timber of
the barn frame and thus holds it Sc
cure. For hay ladders, instead of the
lower Lar of the stretcher, the rope
may terminate in ring, which slips
over an iron hook. These hooks are
permanently fastened to the ladders
at suitable points where they will
not interfere with anything else

sawdust for Horse Stalls.

Sawdust for bedding horses was
used by me one summer. 1t is cooler
than straw which is worth consider
ing in midsummer but would be OBJ
jectionable in cold stable in win
ter. If it can be obtained from mill
near by it is much cheaper than
straw. Hardwood dust is not so
good on absorbent as that from pine
or hemlock, but when it decays it
will be of some worth as fertilizer
The dust from soft wood is of little
value, except in rendering clay soils
more friable. It's fertilizing value
would bear the same difference to
hardwood dust as ashes from the
same quantity of wood of each kind.

KEEP THE PULLETS.
Rich Reward This Year by Being
Conservative.

Prices of eggs hold up well and there
is no reason why they should be lower
till next spring, even if they are then
in fact there is every indication that
they will be higher right along. Every
keeper of hens, whether small flock
or large number, ought to plan to
reap harvest from this fact.
The first thing to do is to help the
moulting hens to get their new dress
on just as soon as possible; give them
good, dry quarters at night and a
chance to get to such during the day
should it rain; feed literally with a
variety of food including some linseed
meal, sunfower seed or green cut
bone. The next thing to do is to keep
all the likely pullets.
Do not be led into selling a single
pullet just because the prices for
spring chickens are good. A pullet
well fed from now on will gain in
flesh or weight till she begins to lay,
then for awhile her keeping is at a
daily profit.
When she is through laying, if you
are disposed to sell her she will bring
you nearly as much, if not just as
much on the market as a hen as she
will now as a spring chicken. That's
enc advantage the pullet has over the
cockerel. AS he grows from a spring
chicken to a rooster he loses in price
as he increases in weight, and in the
vast majority of cases is a useless
boarder all the while. Get rid of as
many of them as you can spare at
once and make room for the pullets.
Having decided what pullets are
worthy of being wintered, feed them
from now on to produce growth and
eggs. Be liberal with your feed, and if
the fowls are running at large feed
of corn just before going to roost will
not make them overly fat. A poor,
scrawny hen is not likely to produce
many eggs.
When we advise saving every likely
pullet we mean the late Matched ones
as well as the early ones. They will
all keep growing till they lay if fed and
cared for as suggested above. The
early Matched ones should begin to lay
in a few weeks now and the others
should follow right along as they reach
the proper age.
Keep the pullets.- Farmers Voice.

LIFTING ARRANGEMENT.
For Removing Bed or Ladders from
the Farm Wagon 1t Is Said to
BE UnequaIled-

A good lifting arrangement for re-
moving bed or ladders from the wag~
on is herewith illustrated. To the
joists of the loft over the barn floor,
at proper distances, are chained two
pulleys. Over each of these passes
half-inch rope, one end of which
is connected with stretcher large
enough to slip over the end of the
wagon bed. The upper crossbar of
the stretcher may simply have deep
notch at each end, just wide enough
to receive the rope. A knot in the
latter just below the stick serves to
hold it in place The lower bar is
trifie longer and has the rope Sc
curely tied at each end. Surprising
now that the stretchers are sufficient

BelI sheen as Car Leaders.

A story comes from Haley, Idaho,
about three ewes and wether that
have been taught to lead sheep into
cars in which they are to be loaded.
On each of the leaders is bell. The
sheep that are to be loaded follow
one of these bell sheep into the car
The owner goes with the leader to
keep the bell from ringing when the
car is full, and the bell sheep is going
out, as that might cause the sheep
to file out again. The same sheep
have been taught to lead focks of
sheep through the town to the stock
yards. For these services the owners
receive small fee, ranging from 25
to so cents per trip.
