WAYS OF CONGREsSMEN.
Spend Much Time Reading Speeches They Do Not Hear When Delivered.

The small attention paid to most speakers in the senate and house of representatives is often commented on. by visitors to the galleries, But while speeches are not listened to, says the Washington Star, they are read A great many senat tors and rep Tesentatives read not only newspaper reports, of con gressional proceedings, but the official report contained in the Record as well. They devote the first hours of the morning to this labor. Many of them read over the list of bills introduced and reports made on various matters from com mittee, and later run over the pile of these bills and reports, which are furnished to them daily. Not few senators. spend much time hunting for the proyerbial# dark gentleman in the woodpile, which they now and then find. Thetitle of a bill may indicate that it's. purpose is far diff ferent from what is shown by one of its obscure paragraphs. Many of these diigent ''watchdogs" do their. best work in committees, for it is we'll known that the most serviceable men in congress. are often those whose counsel is given in committees and who are only occasionally heard in de- bate on the floor of either house.

The Value Of Crop Rotation.

Ill soils contain fertility to GER
.ain degree, and in even the most fertile
soils there are dominant or insolu-
bic substances, varying in compost
ton, but which cannot be appropria-
ted by some crops, though easily avail
able for others, but If such elements
are not appropriated by the crop occu-
plying the ground they are gradually
being reduced or being changed il
composition so as to be put in condi-
ton for the succeeding crop; hence To-
tation. therefore. not only prevents the
loss of certain substances in the soil,
but assists in converting the licked
up elements of the soil into available
plant foods. In this country no sys-
TEN of rotation is deemed complete
without clover, while in England tur-
nips and sheep are considered essen
tial to success. Rotation largely de-
ponds upon the sell and it's condition,
Lut ali sells are subject to mechanical
changes. 1t has been demonstrated
that green crops are valuable in re-
storing fertility. and line has been

EOW Not to do 1t.

Nearly every colt, when driven away
from home, will shy and scare more
or less at objects along the roadside.
After he has been driven few times
the common practice is to strike him
with the whip every time he does this.
1t is provoking to feed horse hay
three times a day and then see him
scare at little pile of hay in the road.
The first thing that comes in the mind
Is to give him cut with the whip.
Nothing worse than this could be done.
The next time he will not only be
afraid of the object but Of the whip
also, and by little training in this
way he will soon be confirmed in the
habit of shying and soaring at nearly
everything he sees. First the tendency
then the habit, is the law Of nature
and when the pile of hay or rock, or
whatever startles, Is connected with
the whip, as it soon will be, the
habit is fixed for life. You cannot lick
horses into good habits; you can estah-
lish vices very easily by blows

The oLo SANTA Fe TRAIL.
ny RICHARD BURTON.

II wound through strange Scared hills,
down canons lone
Where wild things screamed, with winds
for company;
Its milestones were the bones Of pioneers.
Bronzed, haggard men, often with thirst
a-moan,
Lashed on their beasts of burden toward
the sea; -
An epic quest it was of elder years,
For tabled gardens or for good, red gold,
The trail men strove in iron days OF Old.
To-Day the steam.sod thunders through
the vast,
While dominant Saxons from the hurtling
trains
Smile at the aliens, Mexic, Indian,
Who offer wares, keen-colored, like their
:. past;
Dread dramas of immitgable plains
Rebuke the softness Of the modern man.
No menace, now, the deserts mood Of

Still westward lies green and golden land.
For, at the magic touch OF water, blooms
The wilderness, and where of yore the

Tortured the toilers into date.ess tombs.
Lo! brightsome fruits to feed a mighty

Have No Use For Clocks.

mo human being can know the time
of day as well as the sun, since with.
out him there would be no time, and
that Is why we look to him whenever
we desire to know what o'clock 1t is"
That is what the shepherds Of Bearn
say to tourists and others when they
ask them why they still use the anti
quated timepiece Of their fOrefathers
and never think Of buying an up-to-
date watch or clock.
Each of these primitive timepieces
consists manly of pillar, in which
the various hours Of the day are
marked by grooves. The sun. as 1t
ascends and descends in the heavens,
casts n shadow on one division after
another, and thus these simple rustics
are always able to form an approx
mate idea as to the time Of day. They
admit themselves that they are unable
to tell 1t to the minute or second, but
they claim that for all practical pur-
poses their solar clocks are all that
they need.

boy entered the car leaving the door
open, much to the discomfort of an
old gentleman who sat next. AS the
wind chilled his marrow his temper
rose. Leaning across his seat and tall

Were you brought up in barn? Why
don't you shut the door," The boy
said nothing, but closed the door, COM

no Got His Tip.


Hc,waG tiny little fellow, surely not
more than five years old, an as he
called for his afternoon papers at the
corner of Twelfth and Market streets
many people gazed at him with mingled
amusement and pity. he had long
brown curls, wet with the drenchine
rain, and his shrill little voice had a
baby lisp. A very stout, elderly wo-
man, apparently weighing close to 200
pounds, paused at the south side of
Market street and looked askance
ut the miniature river Of slush and
water. and at the passing procession
of wagons and trolley cars.
The little newsbOy was quick to size
up the situation. Running up to her he
exclaimed. Don't be afraid, lady, I'll
help you across" Reaching up his
tiny little hand he clutched her by the
arm, and together the ridiculous pair
threaded their way to the opposite
curb. Then the stout woman opened
her purse, gravely handed the little fel,

WISE WORDS.

New friends are sometimes more
dangerous than old foes.
What do we live for, If 1t is not to
make life less difficult for others?
| Calculation is the axis around which
many seemingly generous acts re-
volve.
Marriage to the weak is the end of
ambition; to the strong it acts as a
spur.
Youth may laugh at excess, but
maturity trembles when the scores
must be paid.
Good wishes are all right as far as
they go, but they make very poor
building materials for any society.
Kindly words, sympathizing attent-
ions watchfulness against wOunding
others sentitiveness, these cost very
/ little, but they are priceless in value.
Grumblers are like the men who
crawl under trains, tapping wheels
with a hammer If the wheels ring
true, all right. If there is danger
GUS flaw, 1t Is discovered, and accidents
are prevented.
1t is wise for opposites in character
to form friendships. Balanced i'm
pulses. tendencies and opinions pre-
serve mental and moral equilibrium.
just as the meal in both ends of the
sack keeps the farmers grist from
falling off his horses back.
Hunt down and STAY your little
faults. "He that is faithful in that
which Is the least is faithful also in
that which is greater;"and they who
will hunt down, and slay, and exter-
inmate their little faults, be sure of it,
will never willingly commit greater
sins.
Friendship is the best basis Of the
personal relations Of all kinds. Min
listers and peoples, teachers and pupils.
and even husbands and wives never
come into the best relations with each
other unless they are fitted to be per-
sonal friends, without any other speci-
fic tie binds them together.

Man and wildcat Mix.

Cornstalk Greek. small stream,
flows through a broken and densely
wooded strip of country, four miles
south of Ladoga, Ind. William Nor
gason was passing through this region
few days ago, and while In one of the
loneliest portions, known as Dark HOl-
low. he heard the cry of catamOunt.
The animal was fifty feet away,
and was climbing down broken tree.
Every hair on Morgason's hair stood
on end when he saw the animal before
him. He knew IL he ran the animal
would take after him and would give
him battle If he stood against it. He
jumped behind a tree near Mt hand.
Morgason is man Of unusual strength
and activity, and as he stood behind
the tree he concluded that the best
way out of the danger was to fight the
animal.
He picked up club and as he started
around the tree the catamOunt came
after him. Around and around the
tree the man and catamOunt ran.
When opportunity Onered MargaSOn
would turn and give the animal blow
on the head. He blinded the catamount
| In one eye with blow, and then made
dash for the tree from which the
animal had descended. The animal
followed him in maddened rush, and
lacerated MorgasOn with her claws.
He dealt the catamount a powerful
blow behind the ears with his club,
and she dropped to the ground. Nor
gason was bleeding profusely after the
encounter, but managed to make his
way to road, where friend gathered
him up and took him to a physician.
Since the animal was killed farmers
have ceased to lose nogs and lambs
They now think the catamount carried
off number Of head. MorgasOn will
recover.-Indianapolis News.
