nous divine. relates the Philadelphia
Times:
One evening as her mother was tuck
ing her snugly in bed. the maid stepped
in and said there was caller waiting

Yes. mamma, did and / didn't"

II Is thus seen that the extraordi-
narily heavy exports OF horses from
the United States in 1901. amounting
as they did to s2.250 head. were due
primarily to shipments Of 37.iG5 head
to South Africa-a larger number OF

for growing chicks is also good for

In the main poultry house the lady
had her bone grinder. and half bush.

fowls. It is one OF the most important
factors of that establishment. Mrs.
Brown grew eloquent as she told what
the bone grinder would do. At rcgu.
lar intervals 100 pounds of bones are
brought home from the butchers.
THESE bones include the ribs. The
butchers do not stop to cut out the
meat from between the ribs, and Mrs.
Brown says that sometimes she is able
to get of as high as fifty pounds of
meat from $50 pounds of bones. This
meat is fed to hens and chicks. The
lady expressed her surprise that any
person should try to keep poultry
without purchasing bone grinder.

Racine, Wis, May 6-Fifty Italians
laborers employed by the Milwaukee
railroad made murderOus attacks Sun
day night on Miss Nellie Brown and
Mrs. Sarah Burns and fought SO deS-
perately against capture that only two
were caught, and this after the sheriff
had chased them with an automobile.
The two prisoners were lodged in jail
after running the gauntlet of mob
bent on summary justice.
The gang left it's quarters in the
wOrkmen's cars on the siding near the
town of Corliss, seven miles north of
Racine, and walked to the saloon of
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Burns for a
carouse Near the saloon they met
Miss Brown who is the daughter of
President William Brown, of the Cor
liss Engine works. They insulted the
girl, and when she ran one of them
fired two shots at her from a revolver.
A bullet tore it's way through her
skirts and another graZed her head.
The Italians found the mother of
Deputy Sheriff Burns alone at the sa-
loon and when she resented their ia
miliartity they fired several shots at
let's all lodged in the wall and floor.
The noise of the shooting and the
screams of the women attrac ted a
crowd and the Italians retreated to the
railway station of the Milwaukee road.
The operator telegraphed an alarm to
Racine, where the sheriff loaded an
automobile full of deputies. The auto
mobile made the run to CorlisS in
twenty minutes and officers and citi-
Zens pursued the Italians and shots
were exchanged on both sides.
The Italians fed, but two Of them
were captured and taken to- the rail
road station. The officers had hard
work to persuade the citizens not to
lynch them. In the midst of the eX-
element third Italian tried to effect
the release Of his comrades and fired
at the officers. The mob pursued this
man to the woods. At this moment a
train came along and the officers
brought the two captives to Racine
and lodged them in Jail.
