HANNA ON M'kiNLEY.
Ohio Senator'S Rem niscences OF the
Marsyred President

In the current issue of The Natfona
Magazine Senator Hanna gives detail:
ed "reminiscences OF the late President
Mckinley as q man. a friend and as d
leader. Mr.. Hanna says in his article;
a great deal has been said ABOUT L.
proyerbial good nature lie lai Tai
and in addition 10 that an uneIuaied
equipoise in every emergency III a..
my carer in business and III politics
have never known a man so self con
tanned. He always acted deliberately.
and his judgments were always weigh
ed carefully. although there were times
when his heart impulses would re-
spond quickly without apparently the
slightest delay
In all those thirty years OF close re-
lations | never saw him in q passion.
never heard him utter one word OF
what l would call resentment unged
With bitterness toward living person.
This was again reflected in the story
of the assassination told by Mr. Mli-
burn who said that he could never for
get the picture in the expression or MS
countenance as he glanced toward the
assassin In his eyes read the words as
plain as language could express II.
Why should you do this!'
And then when the assassin was
hurled TO the ground. when the fu-y
and Indignation of the people had be-
gun to assert itself. he said. with al
most sanity compassion. Don't let
them hurt him.
Il know of nothing in all history that
can compare with the splendid climax
and ending of this noble life. One of
the sweetest consultations that come to
me is the memory that on Tuesday
preceding his death he asked to see
newspaper. and when he was told Not
today he asked. is Mark hereT
:" Ives. Mr.. President. was the re-
Spouse. and in that one sweet last re-
membrance was a rich reward for the
years OF devotion which it had always
been my pleasure to give him."
Senator Hanna closes the article as
follows: I'VE We're both of Scotch
Irish descent. but opposites in DISPOSE

than l. but il is thought from our dis
positions that he had the Scotch and !

A story of Mark Twain.

Il met Mark Twain on a river steam
er when he was very young man,
said an aged westerner. AT that time
he was rather a gaunt young fellow,
with sleepy southern manners and a
drawl peculiar to the river town in
Missouri. Something in my appear
ance attracted his attention. for he
stared intently at me whenever we
met 1t so happened that I wore on
sae foot aa Indian moccasin. having
been injured shortly before.
Finally l demanded. with some irri-
tation. whether he had ever seen me
before. He looked me over and drawl-
ed:
Well your = face is familiar
Then he dropped his eyes to the deck
with Il troubled frown. 'But-I-can't

why Mountains Never Grow Smaller

why Mountains Never Grow Smaller.
The mountains are always moving
down into the valleys. When spring
time comes, every stream will run
muddy in its course. AT this rate all
the soil from the hills would soon be
gone We're not this soil being constant
ly replaced. Water soaks into the
crevices of the rocks, and when it
freezes it swells with almost irresisti-
BILE force. That a very little of it can
crack an iron pipe most of us have
found out to our cost Thus the rock
is split. and the pieces made in this
way are again broken into finer and
finer fragments until new soil is made
to take the place of that which is so
rapidly moving down to the lowlands-

TO DRAIN FLORIDA LANDS.
Everglades to BE Turned Into sugar
Plantations.

Plantations.
One Of the greatest projects just
started in Florida is the plan to drain
100000 acres in the everglades and
turn them into sugar plantations. The
Florida East Coast Drainage and Sug-
ar company has been formed for this
purpose. Surveys made under govern
ment supervision years ago show the
feasibility of the plan.
Arrangements We're perfected recent
ly whereby NJ. Fichtenberg and Henry
Benedict of Milwaukee will underwrite
the enterprise to the extent of $1,000,
600. The opening of the section about
Jacksonville by the Florida East Coast
railroad has made the plan more feast
bic. says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Ii
is surnised that Henry NJ. Flagler is
interested in this enterprise and that
he is really behind it with his immense
capital to aid its development.

THE TURQUOISE

The turquoise. the birthstone for De
cember. signifies prosperity.
The turquoise WAS familiar and IA
vorite gem among tie ancient Mexi-
cans and Indians Of the west.
The turquoise fades when lis owner
is H. and dies when the wearer is at
tackled by an incurahle ulalady-so they
say.
The Germans claim that by its vary
ing shades the turquoise turns telltale
on the eaprices and moods of its
wearer.
Shakespeare gives these words to
Shylock. '.He would not have lost his
turquoise ring fer whole wilderness
of MONKEYS
The turquoise derives its name from
a word meaning Turkish and is 50
called because the first turquoises were
found in Turkey
Ii your birthday comes in December
and you wear a turquoise. YOU need
never be afraid of falling of high
place. One of the powers of the azure
hued gem is 10 preserve its wearer
from this catastrophe.
Ii is also said that il has the power
of protecting its wearer against con-
tagion. A turquoise would certainly
be an ornamental substitute for vacci-
nation Its efficiency would probably
depend upon the faith of the wearer.

NEW MILFORD'S FRIGHT.
Giant SHyrocket Caused Religions
Oaes TO Pray In the Streets.

Giant SHyrocket Caused Religions
Oaes TO Pray In the Streets.
Several thousand inhabitants of New
Milford. near Winsted. Conn. on the
Berkshire division of the New York
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
were startled the other night by an ex-
plosion somewhere to skyward of the
town, says the New York Times. The
sound was terrific, they say. and the
sidewalks trembled. People rushed
out of doors. and some of them declare
that they thought the day of Judgment
was at hand. They knelt I'm the streets
and began to pray.
AS the terrible sound came there was
a bright fash about 200 yards from
the earth, directly overhead. A little
later the streets were choked with peo-
pie. gaping at the heavens and wonder
ing what was the cause of the noise.
1t was finally concluded by many that
n meteorite had exploded over the
town. Some of the more religious citi-
zens. however. persisted in believing
that the strange blast was intended as
a warning that the life of the world
was about to end. That no fragments
OF trace Oh IneteoFite couiu pe iouhu
was used by them as an argument that
they were right in their conclusions.
A. l.. Conkley. who conducts music
store. solved the mystery late the next
afternoon by saying that he set off a
giant skyrocket. which caused the ex-
element. The rocket had been left
over from the last Fourth of July. and
his family thought fitting to celebrate
with it happy Christmas.

Testing wheat Vnrisies.

The Ohio experiment station during
the past ten years has tested thirty
four differently named varieties of
wheat. The Penquitc's Velvet Chaff
is used as Il standard by which to test
the yield, and every third plot is sown
with that, and as the yield rises above
or falls below that the productiveness
and the value are estimated. During
the ten years test the Mealy has made
the best showing. having had an aver
age yield of four and an eighth bush
els per acre greater than the Velvet
Chaff. The Poole, Red Russian and
Harvest King are decided to be the
same variety, and they have ranged
from three and one-thirteenth to three
and three-quarter bushels better than
the Velvet Chaff, the Gypsy three and
three-q quarter bushels better and Early
Ripe three and n half bushels better
than Velvet Chaff. Yet they class
the Poole next to the Mealy, perhaps
because it has been longer tested or
because it stands up better than the
Gypsy or Early Ripe.

Apinry Notes.

If signs of moth appear on the empty
sombs, they may be fumigated with
burning sulphur and should be placed
in tight boxes.
Italian bees are generally admitted
to be superior to the black bees. They
are better workers and more easily con-
trolled.
Drones and queens are perfectly
harmless and may be handled as safely
as a fly. Queens only use their stings
on other queens.
1t is hardly worth while to move bees
for the sake of getting rid of moths.
Vigor and strength are the most relia-
BILE protection.
Bees cease breeding almost entirely
ut the beginning of winter. and il is
exceptional if any brood comb is found
during that season.
All unfinished comb honey in supers
should be carefully removed from the
hives and placed away securely and
kept clean and bright.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Cruelty In KiIIinr HOGS.

When hog killing time comes three or
Jour men and boys and perhaps yelp-
! ing dog will lay siege to the doomed
animal and with much ado will catch
and throw the beast, which meantime
rends the air with his squealing as
though crying Justify for mercy, and
when at last the knife has been driven
home and the arteries severed all at
once the quietness of death prevails;
the hog arises, totters awhile, CHASTITY
blood pouring from the wound; the
animal gets weaker and weaker and
finally tumbles over and gives his last
dying kick The mans wife and chill
dren and perhaps some of the children
of the neighborhood have been silent
but Mortified witnesses of the direful
scene. Now, is not this n delightful
picture to present for the inspection of
women and children?
A merciful way to kill a hog is to
strike it in the head with suitable i'm
plement producing stupor, then in
stantly use the sticking knife. This
causes instant death. An animal suf-
fers more from fear than it does from
death itself. \ neat, unobjectionable
method is To drop the open side of
suitable long. narrow box down over
the animal and then turn box and ami
NAL upside down, when the knife can
do its work and the box be righted
again. that the hog can bleed out prop
erly. Humane men will be apt to pur-
sue one of these better methods. In
deed. many of them do now. but if
they will not they should be thoughtful
enough TO have children absent from
hog killing that no evil be done by bad
eXample.-Practical Farmer.

A Hint to the WIne.

How deep is the manure in the feed
lot? But you can't tell until it rains
and you have to carry some rocks and
place them three or four feet apart
from the gate to the barn door. This
is as it is Oh hundreds of farms, but
not as it ought to be. If the feed lot
is on hillside. heavy rains may wash
this manure away and deposit it in
the ravine at the foot of the slope,
thus leaving the lot comparatively
clean. This saves the labor of hauling
it out and spreading it on the field.
There is another saving connected
with this disposition of the manure.
The field crops will be much lighter to
haul and will require less house room
for storage. and the part that will
have to be sold for cash to pay state
and county taxes will bring less mon
ey, and money is the root of ali evil"
you know.-Farm and Ranch.
