And my foot had nearly crushed it
Surely death was not its due!

And sweetly lisped: "We never die,
For life is never ended.''

BLIND piggers cannot find much sat-
isfaction in the act of 1901 which is
one making provisions for the pun
ishment of parties who keep blind
pig. The act of 1901 provides for a
fine or imprisonment, while the law of
1894 which provides for the punish
ment of those convicted of the illicit
sale of liquor imposes both a fine and
Imprisonment. A certain blind pigger
who was convicted and who was fined
and given a sentence as we'll, appealed
to the State supreme. court, but the
court says that the act of 1901 does not
repeal any portions OF the act of 1894
imposing the double sentence. It
would seem that the blind pigger would
have hard Shedding under both laws.
The act of 1901 gives the authorities
the power if the party arrested is found
guilty, of destroying all the LIQUORS
found on the premises and of selling
the. fixtures, furniture, etc., to the
highest bidder and the proceeds of
such sale are to be turned, over to the
county: in which the ofense is. com
mitted.

THE exact status of minor political
parties is more or less indefinite. and
the question is where are they at. The
primary election law was not intended
to wipe out these, parties, which great
or small, and whether of any conse-
quence or not, have the right under
the law to exist, and to nominate can
didates for Office without any unreason-
able distractions or hinderances. The
legislature it would seem has not the
power to arbitrarily define what a
political party should be to entitle it
to recognition under the law. The
right to political opinions and the
right to voice such political opinions
by nominations and by the right OF
suffrage can certainly not be abridged
in any manner, so long as these polit.
ical opinions do not conflict with an
orderly system of government, and are
not menace to the peace and pros.

THE SCRUB MUST 90.

There is one very enc ouraging sign
in the realm of agriculture and that is
the attention that is being paid to
the raising of better class OF
live stock by all farmers. It
was not so long ago that many farmers
were of the opinion that there was
not much use of paying any attention
to breed, but they are rapidly getting
oyer this notion and finding out that
breed and blood tells. At a recent live
stock sale at Sioux City Col. Woods,
one of the greatest live stock auction
GERS in the. west, said: j..
1T is a war on scrubs, war to- con-
solidate, to make five good COWS worth
as much as twenty-five poor ones.
This isn't theory; it's practice. There
stands COW. You've been handling
such as she for years and you never
produced from them yearling worth
above 1925. There is another COW. .Ex-
perience has proved that fher breed
will produce yearlings worth s75 to
$475. Which does the business man
on the farm want?
1--WE want less beef and better beef,
and we are moving in that direction.
At Minneapolis there have been twen-
ty-three annual Short Horn sales, by
H. F. Brown. For twenty-three years
his cattle have averaged $3.50, and last
year S74l per head. Tell me any
legitimate business that will beat it?''
Col. Woods has hit the nail squarely
on the head, and what he saws comes
pretty near being law and gospel for
live stock breeders. The farmers
must remember one very important
thing, and that is his land is enhanc-
ing in value right along and with high
priced land the successful. farmer will
be compelled to make farming an ex-
act science. But he will be the better
for it and reap more profit. We have
not got to 60 far from Princeton to
find many farmers who know very lit
tie about the value of good sire, and
think any old thing will do for breed
ing purposes, and then they wonder
why they do not get better milk and
more milk, and why cattle buyers do
not pay them as much for stock as they
do their neighbors who perhaps real
ize the value of a good sire. These
kind of farmers have got much to
learn yet.

THE. VEST INDIES CATASTROPHE


The series of destructive earthqua
that have been tumbling down portions
OF cities and villages in Guatemala and
adjacent places the past few weeks
eliminated last Thursday in the dread
full eruptionof Mount Pe1ee that tow
ers over 1900 feet above the city OF
st. Pierre, on the island of Martinique,
a French possession situated in the
groupe of Lesser Antilles, southwest
of Porto Rico. The volcano burst into
fame and smoke and in few minutes
had buried St. Pierre with its 10000
people under an avalanche of molten
lava. 1t is said that but few people
escaped, only thirty from the city get
ting away in boats. This is one of the
worst disasters of modern times and in
fact it WILDE considered and is one of
the worst catastrophes in the worlds
history. It is estimated that at St.
Pierre and at points ON the island
about 100000 lost their lives. This
horrible calamity was the work of but
a few minutes. The volcano that had
not been in state of eruption since
1851 began showing ominous indica-
tions several days before it vomited
forth death and destruction, but the
people did not pay much attention to
the sounds of warning and few we're
left to tell the story. This disaster
was followed by one of lesser magni-
tude on the island of St. Vincent, a,
British possession, near Martinique,
few days later when the volcano,
Soufriere, became active and CON-
menced to throw lava, and belch forth
destruction from the bowels of the
earth. Several hundred people lost
their lives and much property was de-
stroyed, and Kingstown, lively trad
ing city situated on the same island,
was threatened.
The earth seems to be in an angry
mood down in that section and things
are popping at a very lively rate. It
is hellish matinee to say the least.
After all such dreadful visitations onlv
tend to show what frail thing is man
with all his great works and discover
les. The earth speaks in an angry
mood and blots out for all time thous-
ands of human lives in the twinkling
of an eye. St. Pierre was half dem6l-
lshed by an earthquake in 1889 and
was nearly consumed by fire in 1890,
and short time afterwards Suffered
from the effects of cyclone. 1t was
one OF the most picturesque cities of
the West Indies. It was beautifully
situated geographically and its chief
traffic was in sugar and rum.
Most of the island was devastated
and ruined, and those that are living
are left on barren and desolate piece
OF land blistered and crusted over with
the scoria from the burning mountain.
