TAUGHT CALF TO DRINK.
Strenuous siomonts In the Life of Arri-
cultural Youth.


The time of year recalls the dear.
dead days beyond recall when tho
farmers boy taught the calf to drink
from pail. The Britt (Iowa) Tribune
refers feelingly to these strenuous mo-
ments in the life of our agricultural
youth-moments that teach patience
and kindly dealing with the dumb ami
mails. For the weancd calf is full OF
the Infinite and eternal energy. II de
sires its sustenance nightly. but It
desires II In the way nature has taught
il To obtain sustenance. The sight of
the pail seems to lll the calfs mind
with forebodings. The calf desires TO
look up when IL drinks The formers
son desires it to look downward into
the pail. The farmers child must hold
the pail between his feet with his
hands using two other hands to hold
firmly the cows child to its milk.
When the calf humps its back and
tries to jump. It Is necessary to hold
it down with two more hands. When
IL breathes hard into the pail and
blows the milk all out, you must twist
its tail with two more hands. Just
before a calf bunts IL wiggles its tail.
At the premonitory wiggle the tail
must be held also, meantime keeping
the calf's head directed into the pail
The Britt Tribune says Don't get
excited. stand perfectly STILL inspiring
the calf to confidence by your cool
ness and sang-froid. There Is nothing
equal to sang-froid in the initial les
son. and without this attribute the
pedagogue is sadly hampered. There
are other requisites. one of the chief
ones being that the teacher must know
, more to begin with than the calf. BY
following these directions closely calf
can be induced to fill itself with IN
vigorating, -prolonging milk In n
very few lessons, so that IT will run
its nose clear to the bottom of the pail

of the homestead to be present. The

to them at critical moments, thus
shaking your confidence in yourself
and incidentally shaking the calfs al

It Is an art--that of calf feeding
that has not been sufficiently treated
in the bulletins of the agricultural de-
partment.-Minneapolis Journal.

WILLIAM ROSE.


A city ordinance in Detroit makes
ii unlawful for hucksters or street ped
1lers to stand on public thoroughfare
longer than is necessary to make a
sale. The keep moving" rule is rot
always strictly enforced, however. so
an ingenious merchant who KEEPS a
fruit emporium on prominent corner,
has trained a horse to do police duty
and at the same time keep rivals from
setting up in business in his imme-
date neighborhood. Pedestrians on
the street who heard the command
'Sic 'em. Bill" naturally expected to
see dog respond. Great was their
surprise, therefore. when they beheld
horse prancing along the curb. He
was nosing at banana vender, who
was excitedly trying to get out of
harms way-and he kept on until a
safe distance lay between himself and
the jumplng-jack equine. The horse
then returned TO his post in front of
the store and waited for other inter-
lopers. II is an advantageous corner
and many hucksters try to do business
there. The horse, which draws de-
livery wagon during the day, Is sta
toned at the curb on busy nights, and
the moment venders cart appears in
sight. the equine policeman Is turned
loose on the offender The owner of
the steed is proud of the record he is
making.

AFRICAN TREK OK.
Its Use as Transport and How Its Work
Is Done. q

Il Done.
At the present moment, when the
efficiency of our army in South Africa
largely depends on the stability of its
transport. it may not be amiss to con-
slider the capabilities of the trek. or
transport OK. who. after all, despite
mules and traction engines, is the
mainstay OF South African transport,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. The imperi-
al authorities in the Cape Colony and
Natal are now busily engaged in buy
ing all the available OK transport they
can. as is testified by their numerous
advertisements in Colonial papers.
Oxen are less expensive than mules.
They are slow, but sure, never doing
more than three miles an hour. or
twenty miles day. which is consid-
cred a good trek The Zulu OK Is the
best bred animal. but small and unser-
viceable when compared with the bas-
tard Zulu or Natal OK. which thrives
on both the sour" welt or coast grass
and the sweet" or up-country veldt.
Oxen. however, require very careful
handling. and must on no account be
overdriven; they must have at least
six hours a day for grazing purposes.
In the winter they can find picking
on the parched veldt where a mule or
horse would fail. They are naturally in
poor condition till the green grass ol
the spring arrives in September. They
are very liable to lung sickness ant
red water and whole spans sometimes
perish from these fell diseases. In tho
winter time they suffer terribly from
the cold, and on no account should the!
be worked in the rain during that sea
son, for, among other things, the yok'
when wet gives them sore necks, thu!
rendering them useless. The ox's bes
work is done at night time, and moon
light tricks are the usual thing with
transport riders" after their teams
have been grazing all day. They are
never kept under the yoke for more
than eight hours during the day. two
stretches OF four hours each. From A
o'clock to s in the morning and from 6
o'clock to 10 at night are the favorite
hours for trekking As to their haul
ing capacity, span or team OF
eighteen oxen will easily draw a buck
wagon (weighing a little over tom,
loaded to six thousand pounds, over
the South African roads, many OF
which are little better than tracks
across the veldt. Twenty miles a day
for heavy baggage column in such 6
country as South Africa is really goot

DR. Edward Everett Hale tells how &
curious error crept into the transla-
tion of the Lords prayer into the Della
ware Indian tongue. The English
translator had as an assistant an In
dian who knew the English. What is
'hallow in Delaware" asked the
translator. The Indian thought he said
"halloo," and gave him the equivalent.
Therefore, the Delaware version OF the
Lords prayer reads OF this day: "our
Father, who art in heaven. hallooed be
thy name"

That animals have reasoning power,
and can recognize the approach OF
danger, is the verdict OF the
supreme court of Iowa. The case in
which a decision was given was
against a railway company for killing
stock. In the lower court the rule OF
evidence was that the statutory whis-
tie required sixty rods before crossing
public highway. and was intended
for the protection of dumb animals as
well as human beings. and this has
been approved by the supreme court.
The railway company contends that
the requirement OF the whistle at
crossings could only be intended for
rational beings, not animals. 1t Is con
ceded that short blasts Of the whistle
may frighten animals on the track, but
when not in danger. to frighten them
may cause them to run on the track.
The railroad company's attorneys say
that the court confounds fright on the
part of animals with reason; neyerthe-
less. If this request for rehearing be
refused, and the present opinion
stands. then the toots on the whistle
are for the benefit OF stock as well as
human beings.

THE TRUEST HERO.
lie Is the Man Who Knows Fear and
Fights Against 1t.

1T Is so easy to mistake bravado for
bravery and recklessness for courage
says Richard Harding Davis in Ev-
erybodys Magazine. and 1t IL always
necessary to discriminate sharply be-
tween the man who does not know
fear" and the man who knows 1t in all
its sickening horror and who fights
against il and persists in his duty.
People always speak of the man who
does not know what fear is as though
the fact were something greatly to his
credit. Instead of which. of course, 1t
is something for which he Is only to
be enyied and for which he should
be most grateful. A man who
smokes lighted cigar over a powder
magazine II he does not know it is a
powder magazine performs no surpris-
ing feat and praises bravery which
comes from ignorance Of fear IL like
applauding a man because he is not i'll
at sea The ships steward, who is so
sick that he cannot hold up his head,
but who forces himself to perform his
duties Is a better man than the stew
ard with the cast-iron stomach who
laughs at him. The latter is In the
same class with the hero who does
not know fear.

A COUNTY WEDDING.
OlaytOr-Weloh Nuptials At Christ Church,
0wensyille-Will Reside
At Lothian.

A pretty little romance eliminated on
the evening of January Sth, at Christ
Church, Owensville, when William Q
Clayton, recently head salesman in the
firm of Chew Il Co., West river, led Miss
Sallie Welch To the marriage altar, while
the beautiful strains of MeEdelsshon's S
wedding march, artistically rendered by
Miss Eleanor NJ. Cheston filled the church
with its melodious harmony. The bride
was becomingly attired in a tan travel
ing suit, trimmed with white silk and
velvet with hat and gloves TO match,
while the groom wore the conventional
black. Owing to the profound secrecy
on the part of the contracting parties
concerning the hour of the ceremony the
attendance was small ,mQpy arriving after
the conclusion of the Services. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. Robert
A. Mayo, rector of the church, and the
bride was given away by her father, Mr..
Benjamin Franklin Welch. The young
people are well known il, the community
the groom being nephew, OF the late
DR.. w. @. Clayton, of West river, and
the bride niece of Mr.. John Ii. Wayson,
recently elected county commissioner of
Anne Arundel county. After the con-
clusion of the ceremony the bride and
groom left for Eagle Nest" Lothian,
which will be their future home. Among
those witnessing the wedding were; Mr..
and Mrs. r. Frank Welch, Mr.. James IL.

BURDBNED TAXPAYERS.
Residents of EastpOrt Hold A Meeting And
Suggest Remedies.

AT an informal meeting of number
of citizens and taxpayers a few days ago
it was suggested that meeting of tax
payers of the county be called at an early
day to take decided action in regard TO
several local bills looking to reduction
of taxes. The present high taxes is q
great burden upon the farmers especial
ly as well as others, and the sense of those
who were present, was that much could
be done by our present session To lessen
this burden. 1t is suggested that the
following local bills be drafted and urg-
ed, and which it is said if acted upon
will save at least $25 900 per year and
more. Fixing salary of States Attorney
at 81 800 yer year, providing that when
the sheriff performs constable duties, he
be allowed constable fees only. Provid-
ing employment on the public roads of
prisoners in the county jail when under
sentence, or in default OF fines and costs;
one justice of the peace in each precinct.
Fixing the salary of counsel to County
Commissioners at $500 and no more, for
all services required; also providing that
in cases where jury trial are prayed for
misdemeanors before justice of the peace
the cases shall be tried before the court
and jury on the original warrant. This
would save expense in summoning wit
nesses before grand juries.
