The recent arrest and Imprisonment
In Alsace-Lorraine Of a naturalized
American citizen reveal the important
fact that no redress is possible through
the United States. Alsace-Lorraine be-
came part Of Germany since our nat
uralization treaties were made with the
other German states, and no new trea-
ty has been negotiated with that d.
vision. Naturalized Americans there
fore must visit Alsace-Lorraine at their
own risk unless they take the precau-
ton to obtain a special permit from
the imperial governor at Strassburg.
There are many former Alsatians who
have become good American citizens,
and for their protection. should they
desire to revisit their old home. the
state department should address itself
to negotiating a naturalization treaty
covering that province.

You hear talk of thessideal news
paper" 1t is like the flower that
never withers, the bird that never
alights, the land where the sun
light never fadcs-it exists only
in the sucker whom we are told
the elements consume. Writing
from the standpoint of a country
editor, if you have never been in
his shoes, you know that he
is a repository of the secrets of
of the community, none of which
he must ever divulge. He must
publish paper chock full of local
news, whether anything happened
or not. His judicial mind must
be far superior to the district
judge, and give him pointers on
instructing jury. He must
discourse with equal fluency upon
the silver question and Farmer
Jones' Jersey calf, China painting
and Poland-China pigs, pr eserved
peaches and perseverance of the
saints, foreign wars and local
strikes, justification by faith and
justification of type, the doctrine
of election and election returns
the doings of the last synod and
the details of all prizefights. The
receipts of the church social, and
the squabbles in the town council
must be equity familiar to his
versatile mind.
With all this, he must wait on
the delinquent subscriber,
discount the bill of patent medi-
cine fakes, stand off his wash bill, |
always go well dressed, pay his
printers every Saturday night |
whether cent has come in or not; |
write free puffs, 100 lines for every |
one he gets pay for; boom the |
local statesman who owes him for |
three years subscription and
be all things to all men, make no
enemies, never make a mistake in
names or dates, take cussings of
the community and never cuss
back. This is the ideal country
editor and his paper is a daisy.
We never saw one.-Alvin Sun.

What Is Name

Man is a two-legged animal
that chews tobacco and walks on
che forked end.
Most men were born. We
never heard of but one who
wasn't, and he was made out of
mud-just for sample. Man is
found in most parts of the world.
He roams at will, feeds in the
day time and sleeps at nights
some nights.
He is very tame. You can 60
up to him and put your hand on
him anywhere SO you don't put
it on his pocket book; he has
under such conditions been
known to kick.
Mans life is full of disappoint-
ments, patent medicines and
corn cob pipes.
He goeth forth like a lion in
the morning and leaves the wood
for his wife to chop. In the
evening sneaks home with his
pants ripped and raises Cain
about "hard times.''
Man is like a dog-howls
great deal and runs around at
night.
Like the elephant, he has a
trunk, but he doesn't always take
it with him-the elephant does.
Men are like nails in one re-
spect; in nine cases out of ten
where either of them are crooked,
they have been driven to it by a
woman.
Men are like chickens-they
always want to get on the highest
rOOst.
No man will swear before a
lady; he always lets her swear
first.
Little things sometimes worry
, man most-twins for instance.
Man may enjoy taking his
sweetheart upon his knee, but
after marriage he doesn't like to
De ''sat dpon.'
Man flourishes like rag weed
;o-day, and tomorrow the UNDER
;aker has him seated away in his
&c box.
Now, as to what man is really
,ood for, anthropology Is still in
he dark. Being strong he is
lsed to draw pictures, carry
Jews and pull revolvers. Prop
riy trained, man can jump high
T than any known animal. He
las been known to jump noun
ain resort board bills.
Although in many ways man is
Ike other animals, in this respect
q differs from all. He lies

AZURE from some one on Wal
street, New York, all of then
treating upon reciprocity with
Cuba" or in plain words the ad.
mission of Cuban sugar into the
United States free of duty.
These Wall street sugar trust
men have asked us to do many
things, such as write long editori-
ais endorsing reciprocity with
Cuba, write to our Congressman
to help the sugar trusts make
more millions of dollars by adj
uniting Cuban Sugar free, etc.,
etc.
Now we are not running the
government neither are we di-
recting the sugar trusts affairs,
but if we had our way about it
we would let tariff matters sew
erely alone unless it be in partic-
ular cases. The United States
have done enough for Cuba and
that island should be satisfied
to let this country rest bit.
But the chief trouble i'm this
matter is that the sugar trust has
purchased large landed interests
in Cuba and proposes, with cheap
Cuban labor, to raise hundreds
of tons of sugar in Cuba and
ship it to the United States and
sell it cheaper than our cane and
beet sugar raisers can afford to
raise it. That is the plan of the
trust and that is why the trust
is asking the newspapers of the
and Congressman. too,
IS for all we know, to advocate
The repeal of the tariff on sugar.
If the tariff is repealed the cane
sugar planters of Louisiana and
the beet sugar growers of the
north and west will be forced to
90 out of business. For this
reason we urge our Congressman
70 stand BY sugar tariff even
though it is q Republican meas
are. If the sugar industry once
needed protection it stills needs
{, and If anything needs protec-
ion it is the sugar industry. 1t
needs protection from the insat-
able greed of the sugar trust if
nothing else. No, we are not
lnxious for reciprocity with Gu
~, IS the trust wishes to recip-
'ooate. IF we do anythind forl
Cuba it would be better to col
ect full tariff on her sugar sent |
o this country and then give
'ack in the shape of q bounty to
Ter planters q per cent. of such
ariff customs. In our opinion
hat would work better results
oward the agricultural develop
nent of the island than anything
he United States might do.
bur Congressman and Senators
ill not dare to overlook our
pinion in this matterl And the
agar trust is requested to save

Shakespeare and Moliere.

A correspondent finds these notable points of resemblance in the careers of Shakespeare and Moliere:
 The father of each was In trade and apparently destined his son to follow bis occupation. The early education of both was neglected, and we know nothing in their after training that conferred on them their perfect knowl- edge of good breeding and distinguish. ed manners. Neither of them was hap oily married. Each became manager, author. actor. Each produced con- siderable number of authenticated dra- matic works. Each was careless about publishing his works, or, rather, object ed to do so lest they should be acted by rival dramatic companies. Plays of each were collected by actors and first published in complete form after the 1eath of the authors.
 Each touched up or produced plays that are lost or of doubtful origin Each disregarded novelty of plot, bor- rowing from various sources. Each disliked his profession. The personal character of each was gentle, kind. generous. Each had profound knowl- edge of human nature. Each preferred the idea or matter to the comparative disregard of the manner. Each had q remarkable fecundity and fertility os production. Each died at the age of ffty-two.

Some Causes of Failure

Ina paper published in the proceed ings of the Iowa Horticultural Society John Foster points out few of the reasons for failure.
 Disobeying laws which govern meth- ods and principles, lack of judgment exercised at the right time and disap- pointment in our fellow men all cause failure.
 We are always seeing and hearing of failures, so it is small wonder that the horticulturist fails now and then.
 It may be that he neglects to pre- pare the ground properly, that the ground is too wet when the trees are set out and dries out hard or that borers are allowed to sinjure or ruin the trees. These things mean. failure, and yet failure does not mean that fruit growing could not be a success.
 Sudden changes of atmosphere affects very seriously all berries, and even the grape, apple, peach and pear.
 The average fruit grower has a hatred for birds, whereas he should consider them a blessing. They may eat cherries and berries and bore holes in apples. but they also destroy in- numerable slugs and borers. The stomach of one woodpecker was found to contain 5000, ants. If you kill tine birds, do away with fertilize and leave unused the spray pumps, you are pre- pairing for poor, inferior fruit.
 Great care must be taken in dealing with fruit peddlers, as many times an altogether different plant from the one ordered is delivered.
 Many::people have failed again and again until at last they have found their vocation, so a failure does not necessarily mean that one is thorough ly incapable. It is first necessary to find one's work and then completely master it.

meates the whole case and drives buyers away except at cut prices. Cheap cases and filters, if weak, are no economy, and the greatest care should be taken to put enough ex- celsior on top and bottom so that the cover, when nailed on, will draw down tightly and prevent the lightest shift ing of the contents. Very often the filters do not fit the case sideways; it IS best to buy filters and cases that fit perfectly, but when it happens that the filters are not close fit little excelsior should be put in the open space. Packers should expect their goods to pass through some careless hands, and take every precaution to avoid consequent loss."

Pack Market Eggs Very Carefully

A writer in trade paper referring to the breakage of eggs in transit says:
 ''I think there is no doubt that breakage often occurs from careless handling in loading and unloading the cars, but in most cases where my at- tention has been called to definite lots of eggs arriving broken there is some other reason sufficient to explain it.
 poor, weak cases, whether new or old,
 weak, fimsy filters, and failure to secure the contents ot the case by sufficient amount of packing on top and bottom are the most prolific causes of damage. A little money saved by buying cheap egg cases or filters is likely to be lost over and over again by breakage. And the loss.is not only in broken seggs; at this season of the year when the weather is warm few smashed eggs in case reach vile state of odor quickly, and this per-

TOPICS OF INTEREST TO FARMER
 AND ORCHARDIST
Hints on Packing Eggs-Profit in Lettuee-Some Causes of Failure-Going to Waste-Mending Split Trees-Killing and Dressing Chickens.

When fowls have bowel disease, says Mirror and Farmer, shut off all the food and allow them to fast or pick up their food. They will recover sooner from such treatment than when medi- cine is given. tablespoonful of lime water in each pint of drinking water is simple remedy which often serves as cure and ten drops of tine ture of nux vomica in one half pint of drinking water for few days will often check bowel disease when all other remedies fail, but the main point is to withhold all food for 4S hours and then allow only one meal a day for week or ten days.
 The man who neglects his hens merits the severest punishment from his friends, says the Main Farmer. Hens are willing servants, but the man must get ,their friendship and keep on the sunny side of their dis position. You cannot order the eggs and have them forthcoming, neither can you "shoo" the hens on the nest and get eggs. Somehow the idea prevails that pail of mash and dish of grain are all that is necessary to insure faithful service, whereas these simply sustain life. It is the little attentions, the fussy things, that pay. Clean pens, sweet laying boxes, fresh air, pure. water, shady run, plenty of fresh grass and newly turned earth constitute some of the steps necessary before the largest production can be expected.
 Mrs. Leonard Johnson of Pensyl- vania, in American Argiculturist, describes her method for killing and dressing young chickens as follows: The chicken is suspended by tie legs from a long piece of scantling, which extends across one corner of the chicken yard, resting on the top of the fence. It is ;stuck in the upper back part of the head and pleads to death before it is removed. Father kills them, using his pocket knife. l do the picking, but never begin until they are dead. I sit on low chair with the chicken in my lap. Never scald broiler or roaster. After all the feathers are plucked, l remove all the n-feathers, using dull knife. The feather is grasped between the thumb and the knife and pulled out. When perfectly clean t is thrown into a pail of cold water for an hour or two, then scrubbed all over and hung up in the cellar until called for, which is always if possible the same day it is killed. It takes me about one-half hour to dress chicken.
