DOCILE FARM TEAMS.
Only Way to Insure Horses from Rum
away Habit Is Never to Let Them
Get Started.

Generally speaking, no one feature
will add more to the value of horse
or team than the fact that they are
free from the runaway habit. The only
way to insure keeping them from this
is never to allow them to get started.
Because a team runs away once is no
reason that it is spoiled, but it indi-
Gates that the driver has got to use
something more than ordinary caution
in handling them thereafter. Let
team get away two or three times,
and it means that driver will be as
suming considerable risk every time
he takes the least liberty with them.
There is no one characteristic that
farm team can possess that will make
them more valuable than the fact that
they can be trusted, and, on the other
hand, there is nothing that will detract
more from their practical value than
to feel that they are ready to run on
the least preteXt. Farmers have fire.
quently owned such teams, and can
second the Drovers' Journal in its po-
sition. AS rule, if the driver is care
full with team during the first two or
three years of their driving, the dam
ger of their catching the habit in later
years is reduced to minimum; but
there is one thing that must always
be borne in mind, that, no matter how
old n horse may be, how apparently
trusty and how deserving confidence,
it is always liable to run when un-
usually startled. 1t is the first i'm
pulse of brute nature to get away from
danger.

FEAR THE FEAR OF DEATH.
An Interesting Showing of the
Chances Of Life from the Inves-
LEGATIONS of Scientists.

We should be afraid of the fear of
death-not of death itself. If we fol-
low this rule there is no reason why
we should not all become centenarians
so we are told in the Revue d'Econo-
mie Politique by NJ. Jean Finot, says
the Literary Digest. The author
begins an article on the limitas
tions of life by mentioning some
traditional long lives. Among these
cases are those of resident of
Goa, who is said to have reached his
4OOth year in the enjoyment of all his
intellectual faculties; Scotchman
who lives to be over 200 years old, and
various monks of Mont Athos who
>thave reached $50 years. He asserts
that Servian statistics for 1897 show 3
persons between 135 and 140 years old,
is from 126 to 1875, 1913 from 115 to 1875,
and 290 from 105 to 115. In 1890 there
were, he says, in the United States,
1881 persons over 100 years old, and 81
in London. M. Finot cites mathe-
matical formula, which he credits to
get an idea of his probableslength of
life. 1t is only necessary to add the
ages of ones father and mother to
those of ones two grandfathers and
two grandmothers, and the total di-
vided by six indicates the exact number
of years one should live. NJ. Finot does
not believe that the average length of
human life has been reduced. On the
contrary, he believes that it is con-
20 IN inu N n
ress of hygiene. Why do we grow old
at all? The writer answers:
'For three reasons: Q) Want of
physical exercise in the open air; (2)
poisoning by microbes, which the
phagocytes have not succeeded in de-
stroying; (3) fear of death. 1t is hard
to imagine the Importance of this last
element. If man fears death, it will
carry him away. And yet it is quite
cohpared to it,"
To prove this assertion NJ. Finot
quotes Helm, who related the sensa
tions he experienced while falling with
his companions from the. summit OF
one of the Alps to a death which h,
miraculously escaped:
"At first a sense of beattitude, ther
complete insensibility to touch ant
pain; finally an extreme rapidity oi
thought and of imagination, which il
a few seconda enabled him to recollect
the events of his whole life. Therefore
it is not death we should fear, but thu
fear it inspires in us. We are wrong

Seneca adds that it is the best of the in
ventions of life, while Montesquie'
concludes that we should shed tear

M. Henry de Varigny examines th
question of longevity in L'Illustratiol
from another point of view. He asks

recent statements on the tariff ques-

sound to the Capital very much like
democratic doctrine.
We are drifting towards another
state convention and another national
convention of the republican party.
Undoubtedly the national convention
will declare for tariff revision by the
congress to be elected in 1904 and I'M
doubtedly this fact will be apparent
by the time the state convention as
sembles and will be in the minds of the
authors of it's platform declarations
regarding the tariff and reciprocity.
There is no reason to apprehend a seri-
Gus division on the tariff question in
the republican party in this state or
nation. There is lack of agreement at
present concerning the duties which
should be modified or abolished and
concerning the manner in which the
protection accorded certain industries
should be altered, whether directly or
by means of reciprocal treaties, and
such disagreements have arisen when
ever congress has attempted tariff leg

found by the grand jury at the October
term of court here, in which the Adams
Express Company was charged With
Carrying on the business of retail

The case was based on the delivery

finds that the express company did not
sell the liquor, but acted as the agent
of the Iowa parties in carrying and de-
livering 1t and as agent for the Illinois
company in collecting and returning the
money.
The decision is in direct contraven-

Woman's Growing Independence.
lMinneapolis Tribune.]

Probably Mrs. Minnie Dawson is not
a member of any womans club, but
she is practical reformer of an ex-
ceptiona1 type. She refused, before
a Minneapolis court yesterday. to with
draw her complaint against her hus-
band for beating her, that he might
escape workhouse sentence and spend
Christmas in the home he had out
ragged. The Griselda type of woman
seems to be disappearing all along the
line. When royal queens and princess
es begin to resent the brutalities OF
husbands like commoners, and humble
Anglo Saxon wives reverse all the ira
ditions of the race by refusing to kiss
the marital hand that smites them, 1t
can not be denied that the emanci-
patton Of women from convention is
making progress. This is the emanci-
patton for which humanity calls out
most loudly after all.

BEET SUGAR MEN YIELD.

r. has been necessary to fight with
&c ,n,ch yigor for reciprocity treaties
.,s for any other form of tariff modin-
cation. The Cuban case illustrates this.
The senate refused to ratify the Cuban
treaty at its previous sitting altho pub
He sentiment upheld it Since then that
hadv has received a new light on the
s,,hiect. 1t is inclined to ratify. There
was a little coterie of beet sugar men
that held out longer than others, but
aa5yices from Washington indicate that
tsesa nublic men have found out that
they can not defy the overwhelming
sentiment OF the country in favor of do
sng Justice to Cuba. and have pracu-
caIly abandoned the fight Michigan
and Minnesota have withdrawn their
open opposition to the reciprocity
treaty, and will not attempt to defeat
it. California still holds out against
the tariff reductions proposed, but will
not filibuster to hold up the treaty. The
treaty must be ratified before Jan. 81
unless negotiations for an extension OF
time should be completed.
The Minnesota delegation quit the
fight because they found that the sem
tirnent of the people of their state was
against them.
Michigan has quit the contest, be-
cause the beet sugar growers have con-
cluded that they can adjust their BUSH
ness to d reduction of 20 per cent in the
tariff.
AS stated above, California still holds
out against tariff reduction. That state
is interested in sugar beets, but is more
ipterested In fruits, and she looks with
suspicion on reciprocity treaties with
tropical countries, having the British
West Indies treaty In view. The Cali
fornia senators will not vote for the
Cuban treaty, but in the face of chang
Ing sentiment in the senate they feel
that they can not hold out against the
sentiment of the country.
In all these cases 1t will probably be
found that their fear of disaster to their
own interests was not well founded.

AWIsE DECISION.

The determination of Great Britain
and Germany to comply with the desire
OF President Roosevelt to submit the
Venezuelan claims to The Hague tribu-
nal is hailed as a sensible conclusion on
the part of the powers interested and
relieves our chief executive of a vexa-
tions question. 1t is something in the
nature of Christmas gift to President
Roosevelt and to the entire country,
whose good will now goes out in great
er measure than ever to our European
neighbors. Public opinion in our coun-
try was divided upon the subject, and
advice for and against assuming the

dent. It was the fear that arbitration
would fail altogether If he did not COM
ply with the request that led many to
the conclusion that he should accept the
role On the other hand many conserv-
alive people feared that serious conse-
uuences might follow the attempt of our
nation to arbitrate; that in so doing the
hold of the United States on all rela-
lions between the United States and
American nations would be frightened,
and that other like calls would follow;
that 1t would establish an important
and vexatious precedent; that an agree
n1ent to arbitrate would involve the
enforcement OF DEGREES. Now all these
hazards will be averted IL The Hague
tribunal is resorted to by all interested.

oatch from Venezuela that President
