that neither one wished TO take ad

that each should share alike as long as
their business partnership lasted, but as
they could not have the same wife IL
was decided that both should get mar

complications. The news came some

the Hearing Before the

Committee.

1t interesting 20 note the attitude of
the trust and its friend, toward Cuba.
Onpage ll3 Mr.. Haycmeyer states:
Cuba is a country that can supply the
United States entirely with their sugar
in three years.
ON page 100 Mr. Posts evidence reads
as follows
O. DO you know of any United
States refners that have any interests in
Cuban sugar lands.
a. Not as rehnerS.
o.. No. mean companies the Amer
lean rctincrs, companies of any kind,
have they any interest?
a. As individuals they have some
interests. Some of our people own a
plantation ina Cuba. which has just re-
Gently been bought with a view OF de
velOpment In fact, a cable came 20 us a
few days ago Offering large estate that
some of our people are going TO manage.
We believe that means good business
under our Government.
O. Now, do you know or have YOU
any knowledge of Mr.. IIavemeyer going
into that:
4. No doubt Mr.. Havemeycr has in
vestments in Cuba entirely independent
of the American sugar Refining Com
pany just as any other individual might
own a great many other things. His
money buys 1t.
On page 100, in reply 20 question
asking the number of stockholders in
the American Sugar Refining Company,
Mr.. Hayemeyer answers:
Eleven thousand. almost enough Ia
take Cuba, and they would take it if
they could.
His advice, however, as given on page
1873, is very pertinent at the present
time. Ii is as follows:
Never allow foreign country, if il
can possibly be avoided, 20 get its nose
into this country and get into its pro-
auctions.
We know of no better admonition that
could be urged upon the attention of the
American Congress at this time.
From the sworn statements of Mr.
Havemeyer and his associates we have
sought TO establish, by the foregoing
evidence, the following propositions:
/. That Mr.. Havemeyer personally
has a most dictatorial power in determ
lining the policy Of the American Sugar
Refining Company.
2. That the relief of Cuba is but an
incident in the larger policy of the
sugar trust 10 crush out all competitors.
3. That the beet sugar industry of
the United States is the chief competitor

Tortoise as a Voucher.

: United States consul General Evans
has forwarded to the Pension Bureau,
in Washington what is probably the
most curious voucher of Identification
ever filed in pension case. The
voucher consists of the she'll of field
tortoise with the name Bob Williams"
scratched on the under side. 1t was
sent TO consul General Evans from
Christchurch, New Zealand, where the
applicant for a pension is now living,
and it is accompanied by letters and
afidavits which explain that the SOL
dier's real name is William Wright,
but that he enlisted unoer the name
OF Williams" Wright, or Williams,
says in his application that he caught
the tortoise during the Shenandoah
campaign, and afterwards gave the
shell to Mrs. Mary Johnson of Port
Henry. Essex County, N. Y, who kept
it until recently, when Wright de-
cidcd to apply for pension, and sent
to New York for the she'll in order to
identify himself as Williams, under
which name he served In Company e.
One Hundred and Ninety-second New
York Infantry. he curious document
was addressed to Consul General Evans
at London, who was formerly Commits
sioner of Pensions at Washington, per-
sonally, and was forwarded to him
from Washington by mistake. Mr..
Evans returns it to the Pension Office
without comment.

A WOMAN MOUNTAIN CLIMBER

That which no other woman in the
world has accomplished, a feat that
few women mountain climbers would
care to undertake-the ascent of
Mount Washington, the highest peak
in New England, through. the Great
Gulf"-has been successfully perform
ed by Mrs. George A. Flagg. of Nal
den. Many men, even experienced
mountain climbers, would have insult
ficient endurance to have made such
a trying journey.
Mrs. Flagg, who made the trip
through the Great Gulf recently, in
company with her husband, his broth
er. Charles S. Flagg, of Boston, and.
Charles M. Cox, of Maiden, members
of the Appalachian Club, says she
would not again undertake so difficult
and hazardous a task
1.-THE trip through the Great Gulf,
however, was somewhat disappointing.
1t disclosed no grand scene such rs.
might have been expected. For a large
part of the journey there was nothing
but wilderness and jungle, the only in
teresting feature being that it had ap-
parently never been visited before by
any human being. Boston Globe.

FASHIONABLE CnInRS-


Among the new eolorings for dress
goods and trimmings are several strik-
ing shades of blue. DARK blue is es-
pecially favored, appearing with red.
green, orange or black, and white as
trimming is much the fashion. Va
riety in the methods of trimming pre-
vents monotony. Peacock is coming
in again, but it is not quite so glazing
as that shown several seasons ago. As
it is, it is very trying to the average
complexion and not very safe for use
with color combinations. There are
other new and brilliant blues, but the
average woman will be wise if she
sticks to the deeper and more becom-
ing shades that harmonic better with
other colcrs. Black and white wool
lens and browns follow the blues.
Handsome shades of apricot and peach
appear in woollens and velvets. Ban
ana yellow is fine in velvets and light
weight cloths. Other colorss notice
able in the winter dress goods either
for newness or abundance are rich
browns, dull green's and bright reds
Blue and green combinations remain
in good standing and are striking in.

Points of Similarity Between Two
Strenuous Men.

A typical soldier of fortune was
big Bill" Craig, the secret service
man who was killed near Pittsfeld
while riding in the coach with the
President and party, that met with SO
serious an accident. 1t is told that
Craig was the only secret service man
that the President in his innate dis
taste of dependence Of any kind would
tolerate about him.
Theodore Roosevelt liked Craig, not
alone because he was physical giant,
not because he had served in the
Household Guards Of England's Queen.
nor vet because he Was of the famous
"Black Watch in the Soudan and
went to the relief OF Gordon. al these
things we're incidents to the fact that
Craig was a man after Roosevelt s own
heart, bent upon doing. and doing as
well and as hard as nature Allowed.
An incident of the Presidents trip
may be recalled here. 1t was during
a reception In Vermont town In
the middle Of the reception the lights
went6out. With the rush OF darkness
a. bIs form seemed to enve1op Presi-
dent Roosevelt and two strong arms
thrusk back the people in manner
that lea ~ but one conclus ion that no
one would come near. except after
passing Bill Craig. And no ona passed.

ABOUT THE SiLO

A dairy with thirty to forty COWS
should net. the owner in a pretty fair
living, and something to balance 10
increase the bank account But to
accomplish this a silo is almost es-
sential for storing up winter food. A
silo built for about this number OF
cows should cost from 500 to SEQ
to build a good deal depending upon
whether you build one square or
round. A square silo sixteen feet by
sixteen by thirty feet should approx
mately hold 145 to $50 tons of ensil-
age. Ii all this is kept in fine condi-
ton it will supply ample food for
winter, and the cows will give more
milk than if fed simply hay apd grain.
The succulent nature of the ensilage
tends to satisfy the cows and to in
crease the milk supply.
The question of how much ensilage
should be fed day to cattle in winter
has, been variously estimated, but
probably forty pounds per head per
day comes about as near to the aver
age OF good feeding as we can make
One may easily figure out on this basis
how many cows can be supported on
the ensilage put away. One large silo
will give better results than two or
three small ones. If the cows number
only thirty the size mentioned above
should answer the purposes, and for
every additional ten cows increase the
dimensions by about two feet in eacIl
direction. A silo much larger than
thirty feet in depth and twenty 10
twenty-one feet in diameter is I'M
wieldly, and it is better then to CON
struct two. In making estimates for
the above allowances are made for
some summer feeding, for there is
hardly a season when a portion of it
does not run short of food Good en-
silage then comes in handy to supple
ment the WORKOUT pastures. 1t is al
ways well to have a surplus rather
than a deficiency-S. l.. Wasting in

TORTOISE SHELL COMBS.

Tortoise shell combs are going to be
worn as much as ever this fall, and
the usual set includes three or four.
the extra one being pompadour
comb, which is placed in the hair en-
tirely for service, as it does not show
when the new couture is completed
The newest combs are certainly de-
signed with some idea for comfort, for
the rims are rounded down in the CEN
tire to fit about the fla; knot on the top
of the head. Even the larger comb,
intended to keep UP stray escolding
locks" is curved after the same fash
ion. This, by the way, IS narrower
than formerly, and does not give the
head so broad a look as the heavily
trimmed ones that have been the cor
rect thing.
For evening wear there are jewelled
tortoise shell combs, in sets of three
and four, but for the street nothing
is quite so pretty as rich ruby shell,
plain and polished until it CLOVIS.

If those who keep bees would sow
field Of white clover for them they
would increase their hone crop and
improve its quality. The grass plot
around the house may be utilized IN
this way, as field of white clover
looks as neat and clean as the we'll
set lawn that has to be mown every
week. The clover only needs to be
mown when the heads have turned
brown, when enough seed will rattle
out to start another crop, and thus
to or three crops year can be grown,
and the field can be kept in white
clover for years If kept rich enough.
The manure from the poultry-house
makes a good fertilizer for it and
should be put on in the fall after the
last moving. Follow this with wood
ashes in the spring, or with an appii-
cation of land plaster, and in few
days the ground will be green until
the clover blossoms out, and then it
will be full of the pink and white
blossoms, as fragrant as any flower
bed.
