 ON IN CLUBDoM.
 Grave apprehension is caused by the peoposed compromise in color line between fhe North and South. It is a strange fact that the club women of the North and South are using their valuable time m discusgion of this question. which would neyer--could never-enter club mems af- fairs It is the outcome of the monu- mental seriousness and wetghuneSs or the club woman's view Of club life Mans club Is of his life thing apart; tis wo- mans whole existence"
 Nan's clubs are for his diversion; wo- mans for the reforming or educating of humanity. It is the usual attitude of the proselyte toward the new-found belief or the recently acquired line of duty that of everdoing.
 The New York Tribune has the follow ing:
 "There are clouds on the club horizon of Massachusetts, and the 'color nne' ts taking on varisGated hues in the old Bay stSte. Georgia and Massachusetts after the recent conference held in this city regarding the adinissfUh of colored clubs to the general federation. parted with mutual assurance Of ahcctionate consid- eration, and the delegates. serene in the belief that a solution of the problem had been found. bore back with them to their respective organisations vesolutiona calculated to spread peace like a mantle over turbid organizations.
 sNThe resolutions providsd that the color question in the general federation sbe set- tied without reorganization by the strict application of ssthe doctrine of State riehts, individual club membership to re- main as it Is; that orsanisations desiring nembership in the general federation make application through the Presidents oz their various State Federations: that any club which Is . member of its State Federation shall be eligible to the Zen eral Federation If recommended by tho Executive Board of its State Federation.
 ."The daring compromise embodied In the resolutions which practically bars out the colored women Of the South. while admitting those Of the North. was greet. ed by the Massachusetts Executive Board of the State Federa ation with spirit shown toward State rights by the fathers of that august body. The hard won doc- unaent was speedily rejected by 1t. The action was followed by a conference of the Massachusetts State Presidents, who. voted in favor of the compromise in the ratio of sixty to ten against and 1t was voted to request the executive to feco1- sider the matter. While awaiting the de- cision of the Executive Board, local or ganizations are discussing the case viz orously, and rumors of war are in the air.

Milk for Poultry.

Milk is an excellent poultry food, fed
in any way 1t is the cheapest animal
food that you can buy il you can get
it for one cent gallon, says Farm
Poultry. Recent experiments have
proved it to be one of the best hot
weather animal foods for chicks or
laying fowls. 1t is, however, consid-
cred necessary to supply some addi-
tional meat food to get the best re-
suits in eggs. The milk could be fed
daily, and the meat twice a week, and
good results follow. Those beef plucks
are an exceptionally good and cheap
meat food At the price you quote
they are much cheaper than bone. We
should feed milk and beef pluck, and
would consider that we were getting
our animal food very cheap.
You can feed the plucks to best ad-
vantage by varying the manner of pre-
Earring. Probably they will be best
when cooked. The best way to prepare
plucks to have them keep sweet will
be to run them through a meat cutter
or sausage machine, and then boil the
minced meat. Skim off all the fat, and
strain the soup after cooking meat
thoroughly. Use the liquor for mix
ing mash. The cooked meat, after be-
ing well drained, should be well dried
in a moderate oven. If properly pre-
pared it will keep some time. 1t
should be kept in cool dry place, and
out of the way of insects. We would
not prepare a very large quantity. as it
is liable to heat" We have had no
trouble keeping meat so prepared for
a month in hot weather. 1t must be
thoroughly dried or it will spoil.

The whipping schoolmnstsr.

John Hawtrey is still remembered as
one of the famous whipping school
masters of England. He achieved his
reputation at Elton, where he early
made the birch his sovereign remedy
for moral ills, and where his doses
were never homeopathic 1t was au-
tumn, says Alfred Lubbock, who has
a vivid remembrance of Hawtrey's
methods, and we small boys used to
buy chestnuts and roast them over the
fire in shovel One day a boy named
F., who was a great fayorite of Haw-
trey's, had lot of chesJnuts, and as
special favor was allowed to make
use of the pupil room fire, while pupil
room was still going on. Hawtrey was
going in and out of the room while we
were working, and on the occasion, com
ing in rather quickly, he caught sight
of F. kneeling over the fire arranging
his chestnuts. The boys position was
irresistible to any lover of the art of
chastisement. Not seeing his face, and
supposing it was one of the other boys
stealing the chestnuts. John Hawtrey
quietly took his cane from his desk,
and creeping forward on tiproe, gave
the wretched f. most tremendous
whack. The boy jumped up with a
yell, his hands clapped be hind him.
Then the tutor saw who he was, and
said, embracing him: "Oh, my poor
boy! am so sorry! l thought it was
another boy stealing your chestnuts.
We, of course, were all delighted. and
roared with laughter.

Preventing a Battle.

Lieut.. Mclaughlin of the Signal
corps, who recently succumbed to yell
low fever at Santiago, made gallant
ride one year ago. He had then charge
of the squad which built the telegraph
line along the route of the American
advance into Porto Rico. This squad
was not able to keep up in its work
with the advance of the trfantry and
artillery, in command Of Gen. Brooke,
and by Aug. u, when the invading
army faced a line of Spanish intrench-
ments, the telegraph line was two
miles in the rear. The next day word
came to Lieut. McLaughlin's station
that the peace protocol had been
signed. Mounting his horse, and ae-
eompanied by an orderly who was soon
left behind, the young officer started
on a ride which for dramatic interest
deserves a place among the great rides
of song and story. Every moment he
expected to hear the booming of guns
ahead, announcing that a bloody and
needless battle was begun. When he
reached the lines Of infantry that were
supporting the artillery, he was told
that the guns were about to open on
the enemy Pressing on more rapidly
still, he found Gen. Brooke standing
beside one Of Battery BIS guns, while
the gunner had his hand on the lanyard
ready to pull. The battle was stopped.
Hundreds Of lives were saved. As the
position of our army was an unfavor-
able one, it is probable that the loss on
our side would have been large. Lieut.
Mclaughlin arrived just in time to
avert an unnecessary battle, one of the
most horrible things in the world. In
the golden future all battles will doubt
less be found unnecessary. Arbitra-
ton will take the place of war. Those
persons who, in this generation, by
their deeds and influence, hasten on the
day of universal peace are in a sense
engaged in the same task that Lieut..
Mclaughlin so calamity performed.
He made haste to prevent needless
battle They are making haste to
prevent needless wars.

From the Farmers Review: Recently
we saw a way to dust chicks for lice
that was a new wrinkle to us. AS it
seems to be reasonable, we pass it on:
Take common ten-pound paper bag,
put in it from three to six chicks, ac-
cording to size, sprinkle over them one
tablespoonful of good insect powder,
close the top of the bag, invert it
several times, which will cause the
chicks to fiutter about, thus allowing
them to become well busted with the
powder. l have thoroughly busted 100
in half an hour in this way. Why
would it not be better to use twenty
fiye-pound paper flour sack for this
business2 One could dust dozen at
once in this way; it also seems to me
that one could use the paper sacks to
cure the gapes, or as a medium to help
ia curing them Place the chicks in
the sacks, sprinkle in some lime, fine
Tobacco dust or sulphur, and after clos
ing the sack shake them around con-
siderably. This would also help in
getting rid of lice Tobacco smoke
could be blown in if one has had bet
ter success with the smoke than with
the other methods. We seldom have
case of gapes, one only this season, and
it not serious.
We have had excellent success with
turkeys this year; no sick ones until
few weeks ago, when several of the
flock became dumpy; they would aver
age three and one-half pounds at that
time. An old poultry raiser told us to
use good unleached wood ashes in
their drinking water. We did it. using
about a pint of ashes to a gallon of
milk or water. They began to pick
up at once; but two of the siekest-
not good grammar, but it expresses it
died, and now they are entirely cured
and hearty as pigs. Whether it was
the ashes or not, we will use them
hereafter whenever the turkeys get in
the dumps. OF course their quarters
were entirely renovated and lots Of
lime scattered about before we heard
of the ashes. Turkeys simply cannot
survive filth either in feed, water OF
roosting quarters.

The Busler who Forgot.

1t is not often that an enlisted man
gets a chance to run a part of the fight
to suit himself That chance, however,
came to one bugler. Capt. Hannay.
finding that company L was too far
away to hear orders, in a recent en-
gagement in the Philippines, sent his
bugler after the company to sound the
charge At the first notes company L
flew onward. 1t was right here that
the bugler forgot, for the time being,
that he was only the commanding Of
fcer's orderly. He saw another chance,
he thought to be lost. He sounded
once more, and Lieut. Ross, imagining,
of course, that the order came from
Capt. Hannay, executed it. Not even
yet was the bugler's thirst for forward
action stated. He sounded again and
again, as the heat of generalship made
his blood flow thick and fast. By the
time the bugler came to himself and
relinquished the duties OF fight direc-
tor. the poor fellows of company L
were troubled with shortness of breath.
In this brisk affair, according to the
official report, the dead reached a to-
tai of about sixty. including some Off
GERS. 1t is the enemy's dead that is
meant, of course Twenty-one Maus-
ers and six Remingtons were the
spoils of the field.-Leslie's Weekly.

graphs of it were reproduced in num-
Der of the leading magazines and news
papers. More than hundred papers
of the United States and Canada had
full accounts both of the artist and his
work. OF the artist it is only neces-
sary to say that he is Hungarian,
trained in the best schools of Vienna
and Paris who made his first reputa-
ton in America at the worlds fair at
Chicago, and afterward distinguished
himself at the Nashville exposition.
Mr.. Zolncy has had much work en-
trusted to him, as for example, Mr..
Tympanum of the new academic build
ing of The University of Virginia. the
statue of Jefferson Davis. the tablet of
Miss Winnie Davis and so on. All of
his work is marked by unusual origi-
nality and brilliancy of execution. The
Poe bust has been considered by good
judges as not only his best production,
but by far the best portrait of Poe yet
produced. 1t not only represents the
physical features of the poet with such
accuracy that those who knew him
praise its fidelity, but has caught to an
unusual degree the intellectual and
spiritual characteristics of the poet as
they are exhibited in his writings
The bust is of bronze, representing the
poet rs leaning on one hand with the
other nervously clutching the lapel Of
his coat. The expression of the eyes
has been noted by art critics as being
unusual for bronze. When the bust is
in position on its solid oak pedestal it
is of heroic size. The pedestal con-
tains a tablet, on which IS inscribed,
Edgar Allan Poe, 1S09-1S49. Student
at the University of Virginia, February
to December, 1926" There is on the
bust itself fac-simile of the poets
signature.

Dewey's Nerve.

A member of the Army and Navy
club said: Il was with Dewey when he
was executive officer Of the Colorado.
We had fine crew, some of them as
powerful men as l ever saw. Four or
ave of them went ashore one day and
came back fighting drunk. TIE order
was given to put them in irons, and it
was found difficult to carry out the or
der, for the men were dangerous.
Dewey was notified. Ia was writing
letter in his room at the time. He
went to the place where these giants
we're, and he told them to come out and
submit to the irons. They did not stir.
Then Dewey said quietly to an orderly:
Bring me my revolvers. When in
possession of the weapons Dewey
called again for the men to come oRt
and they did not move. Then he sail

HOW Funston slept.

That Brig.-Gen. Funston can be orig
inal even in a semf-comatose con
dition is testified to by a member of
the engineer corps just home from the
Philippines, says Ohio State Journal.
THE most characteristic thing ever
knew Funston to do. said the engi-
neer, was before the battle just out
side Caloocan. He had had no sleep for
two days, and was in bad shape. He,
therefore, rolled himself up in some
leaves and went to sleep. Meantime.
the division received orders to adj
vance, but Funston could not be found.
Many scouts had been killed. and it
was feared that the colonel's curiosity
for he was a colonel then-had led
him into trouble Presently, however,
glimpse was caught of his red hair
in the tangle. and later they found him
shrouded in leaves. As this is the way
bodies are prepared for burial in that
part of the world, we got more and
more apprehensive with each step until
at length some one shouted; Colonel,
are you dead OF alive? Neither
grunted the colonel. as he rolled over
for another nap; I'm sleeping"

most uncomfortable adventure re-
Gently befell the crew of a British
steamship. The vessel was sugar lad
en-, and bound from Java to Philadel-
phia. While in the Indian ocean she
ran into vast field of seaweed. The
seaweeds were the home of large and
voracious species of dragon fly. At
tracted by the fumes of the sugar. the
flies swarmed upon the decks in mill
lions. Thousands of them penetrated
the hold and Toasted upon the sugar.
Thousands were upon the decks seek
ing to get below. Big enough to do
mischief, they got savage and attacked
the crew. There were thirty-two men
of them, and they had to battle for
their lives The flies could not be
driven off. The bites were something
awful, and it was not long before the
body of each man Of the crew was a
mass of blood. This terrible pest of
flies lasted for five days. Then far up
in the sky the desperate sailors saw a

deadly foe OF the dragon fly of the In
dian ocean. These birds of the sea re-
semble dove, but are many times

beaks. Against the crews timely res

were eaten by the boatswains as quick
ly as flock of barnyard fowl dispose
of their daily meal of corn, and soon
there were not enough of the flies to
cause further anxiety.
