Farmer John Garter had fed the pigs,
shut the henhouse doorand come around
on to the side veranda to smoke his
evening pipe with his wife, Nancy, who
sat in the big rocking chair. She had
placed his pipe and tobacco within easy
reach. Farmer John sat down with a
grunt, rubbed at his stiff knee min
ute, and then, instead Of filling his pipe,
he slowly turned to his wife and said:
"Nancy, / want to know what's
wrong with our Milly."
"What on earth do you mean? ex-
claimed the wife and ceased rocking
so suddenly that she almost shot out
of the chair.
''Don't try to fool me-" he continued
as he slowly shook his head. 81 amt
been askin' no questions before, but I
seen for two or three weeks that things
was wrong with Milly."
''She's been kind O. draggy since she
got wet goin' to camp meetin', but
don't think we ought to have a doctor,
do your
81 think, Nancy" he slowly replied
after half minute II think I'm goin'
to find out what's the matter with
Milly, and if you won't tell me I'll so
over and have few words with Sile
johnson. Mebbe he knows"
'How should he know?" asked Nam
cy as she rocked furiously.
"Dunno, but / guess I'll walk over
there tonight"
"Well, guess you won't. John Car
ter, why can't you mind your own
business?'
"Dunno, but 1 want to see Sile John
son.
"You are always pokin' around and
maxim an old hen huZzy of yourself,
and expect you'll get up and put on
one of my dresses some mornin'. Now,
then, bein' you are so full of curiosity,
lemme tell you somethin'. Our Milly
and Sile have had tiff"
"Had row. eh?" queried John, as
he settled himself down to hear the
particulars.
mo. sir. they haven't" she snapped.
81 said a tiff, and there's heap of diff
ference between tiff and. row."
"But they got mad at each other?"
"Yes. they did. and I'm backin' Milly
for all I'm worth. You know the day
she went over to Eli Warmers to see
Sarah? Well, there was a windmill
man at Warmers that day, and be-
cause the two girls sung the Sweet
BY and By while he played on the
organ Silas called Milly f1irt."
"And she got mad|
"Of course" "a,
"And he got mad?"
"Of course"
Sand he hasn't been here for two
weeks, and Milly is goin' around look
in as if she wanted to die? must go
over and see Sile and tell him she's all
over bein' mad and wants to be friends
ag'in."

iEmmet.. Presence of Mind.

4 "A story is told Of Robert Emmett
which proves his secretive power and
resolution. He was fond Of studying
chemistry, and one night late, after
the family had gone to bed, he swal-
lowed a large quantity Of corrosive
sublimate in mistake for some acid
cooling powder. He Immediately dis
covered his mistake and knew that
death must shortly ensue unless he in
stantly swallowed the only antidote,
chalk.
Timid men would have torn at the
bell, reused all the family and sent for
. stomach pump. : Emmett called no
one, made no noise, but, stealing down
stairs and unlocking the front door,
went into the stable, scraped some
chalk which he knew to be there and
took sufficient doses Of it to neutraIize
the poison.

WASTEFULNEss IN MEAT.


LErom the Brooklyn Eagle
OF the many arguments put forth in
favor of a vegetation diet. especially III
warm weather and in seasons when the
beef trust is in the ascendant. none is
more effective than that of economy.
Nor is the economy understood at first
glance. If it is true that. weight for
weight, cereals and vegeta bles. eggs and
cheese are more nutritious than meat.
it is still to be considered how little meat
one has for his money. The person who
buys a pound of mutton chops at "a cents
q pound. or a pound Of beef for roasting
at so cents does not buy pure nOurish-
ment, by any means. Unless he can eat
fat which not many people relish. ne
will not extract from his pound Of chops
more than third of pound of meat.
This brings his chops up to the rate Of
2 cents pound. The beef is perhaps
more generous, yet when the tendon. the
fat and the bone, for which he has paid
full price, have been extracted, the edible
portion of his purchase has probably lost
a half hence, he has paid for beef at the
rate of 90 cents a pound
Vegetables are almost wholly food. The
stance; there is no waste TO the turnip.
beet radish, parsnip. carrot, dandelion.
lettuce. spinach. cabbage, egg plant Gu
cumber tomato. onion cauli1Ower. at
least, none that amounts to anything;
peas and beans lose their Shells and
corn its cob, yet the waste is less than
in meat: there is not as much substance
in asparagus and artichoke. hence they
may be regarded more as luxuries. but
in nearly all fruits, nuts and grains we
have nutriment in q concentrated form.
The amount of water IS hardly to be
considered as waste. or, if it is, meat is
equally a waste for the same reason.

Steamer City of Nome Fast in the
Ice For q Month.

Seattle Wn., June 21.-The steamer
Nome City has arrived here with the
record of being the first steamer to
reach Nome and also the first to arrive
out of thirty vessels. She bears many
evidences OF fierce battles with the ice
in the north. but is not materially in
5ured. The trip was an exciting one.
From May until a month later the
ship was fast in the ice. the ship being
stopped by short by a booy of ice. The
shi ptried bucSing its way for two days.
but when within sixty-five miles of
Nome it was again hemmed in The
pack in which the Nome City was
caught was drifting to the northwest
For several days the vessel drifted
around the Island of St. Lawrence and
on May Il was raised clear out of the
water by. a sudden jan. The iron
sheathing put on at Seattle before
starting was all that saved the vessel
from being smashed to pieces. She was
badly shaken up. Fortunately a lead
was found on the morning of June 4
and the ship bucked its way through to
open waters and to Nome.

Reporter Insists He Was.

3. H. Tracy. of Wamego. enters a de-
Kansas City World, and republshed in
the State Journal of Thursday and cred
tied to the World in which Mr.. Tracy
is quoted a s saying that Kansas IS OBJ
posed to the denomination of Roosevelt
in 1904 He says:
Il cannot allow myself to be placed on
record for something that 1 did not say.
especially where, as in this case. the
sentiments expressed are directly oppo-
site to those which I entertain. AS a
matter of fact I have not been in Kan
sas City in the last six months and have
never given to any Kansas City repOr-
ter or correspondent any such express
sion as ] am quoted as making. The
statement is absolutely without fOun

my sentiment"
The interview was published in the

makes the following statement con-
corning the interview:
Mr. Tracy sat in the Copeland hotel
and said to me what he was quoted
as saying in the interview. Mr.. Tracy
is friend of mine and sometimes tells
me things in confidence which he does
not want printed, but when he does
he generally says it is confidential In
this instance he said nothing about not
wanting the interview printed, although
I said to him that it was q new idea
mot even ask me not to use his name,

right for me to quote him, which I

"Bud" Lee Allowed Three Cow
punchers to Get Away.

Albuquerque n. NJ. June PA report
has reached Albuquerque of a fight be-
tween eattlemen near Tucumcari which
resulted in the death of five cowpunch-
ers.
According to the story Bud" Lee
of Dona Ana county had watered his
cattle in a water hole and had allowed
his cattle to walk through the spring
and this against the protests of other
cattlemen who were using the same
spring. Lee was warned that if he re-
peated the action he would be killed. He
claimed to have a right to do as he
wished with the water and later came
again accompanied by an old Indian
fighter.
Eight cowboys We're lying in wait for
him. When the battle which followed
was over. five of the eight cowboys were
dead and the other three had fed. Lee
and his partner were unhurt. They gave
themselves up to Sheriff Romero of

USED DYNAMITE.
Southern Missouri Way of Moving
Objectionable Freight Cars.

Pennington, Mo, June 21.-There is
much excitement in the Flat River re-
gion over the fight the Mississippi River
& Bonnie Terre railroad is making
against the new Southern Missouri eros
sing its tracks. The graders have been
at work along the line and this week
reached the crossing at the Derby
switch. When the grade was fixed the
Bonnie Terre officials ran freight cars
down to obstruct and hinder the work.
The Southern Missouri used dynamite
to clear the distractions, and burned the
cars that were not otherwise destroyed,
so that the main line of the Bonne Terre
is in such a condition that passengers
have to be transferred across the wreck
age to other trains. The Southern Mis-
souri, has so far destroyed several cars
and rolled several loaded with ore into
a neighboring creek.
The Bonne Terre railroad was notified
on Wednesday by the United States gov
eminent to at once clear the track Of
all Instructions that delay the carrying
Of the mails, SO that win end the fight
in that line. Judge Deering has been
asked TO grant an injunction to restrain
the Southern Missouri from crossing the
Bonnie Terre, and the matter viii be
decided in Hillsboro this week.
