THUGS GOT ABOUT $4,000
Those Who Hold Up the Burlington Train
Last Week Did a Pretty Good
Business.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. ia police Of
ficer working on the case says that ac-
cording to figures given him by an
official of the express company there
was close to $4,000 belonging to the
company in the booty secured by the
robbers when they held up the Bur-
lington train Friday night. The fig
ures given him were in the form of
detailed statement covering the denom-
nations and the numbers of pieces of
each denomination. He figured these
up and found the total to be in the
neighbOrhOod Of the above sum.
Late last night a dispatch to the
Burlington from the town of Hubbell
said two men were being detained
there. They answered in a measure
the description of the highwaymen.
The Lincoln police are inquiring for
two men who for a short time had
been working as walters in a local
restaurant. Friday night they quit
work without previous notice and went
to their employers home for their
wages. He told them he would pay
them the next day at his place Of
business. They told him that would be
too late, as they must leave town, but
they did not insist on payment.

Extensive CourtshiD.

Recently young Frenchman Of good
family, but very poor, fell in love with
bankers daughter, and, obtaining a
lettar of Introduction to her father,
called ON him. He found him at home,
and pleasant conversation followed.
AS he talked, however, the young
man fumbled with gold coin, the only
money he possessed, and when he rose
to take leave he removed it from his
waistcoat pocket and put it, without
thinking, into his trousers pocket. AS
he was strolling home he looked for
the coin, but, alas, it was not to be
found, for there was a small hole in
sis trousers pocket, and as soon as he
had put it in it fell noiselessly on the
velvet carpet in the bankers drawing
room.
AS he sorely needed the money the
young man, though much against his
will, resolved to go back and inquire
about it.
"Yes,' said the banker as he entered;
II found a gold coin on the carpet as
soon as you left the room, and 1 was
not surprised, for 1 lost a similar coin
in that very place two days ago. This,
therefore, is my money, and we will
now look for yours"
The banker smiled as he spoke, but
the penniless young man turned his
back on him and abruptly left the
house.

The Cleaners.

The old custom of cleaning in the
harvest fields, which recalls the Bib
hcal story Of Ruth and Naomi, is not
obsolete in England, and in Hartford
shire, Bedfordshire and the neighbOr
ing counties, as soon as the wheat is
gathered in the late days of August,
there may be seen in the newly cleared
fields numbers of women and children
diligently picking up one by one the
scattered ears and forming them into
neat little sheaves which they carry in
their hands until large enough to be
bound up. When the daylight fails, all
the booty is bound up in cloths and
carried home on the heads of the
cleaners. At home they thrash it out
by hand and sell the grain or use it for
their chickens. The gathering of q
half peck is usually full days work
for child, and often woman spends
whole day in gathering very little
more. Cleaning, however, is looked
upon somewhat in the light of picnic.
The mother and children leave home in
the morning, take with them food for
the day and stay out in the fields until
nfghtfall.

Tom Reed "Makes" q Reporter,

"Who made youY' Tom Reed"
Such was the reply of a clever news
paper man who got himself estab-

process. Tom Reed, when at the
height of his cZarship. lived at the
Shoreham, where he held nearly as
great court as in the house. Among
newspaper men existed intense rivalry
in the pursuit of his favOrS. One
morning he was huffy. 1t was Not a

dent, and the group knew he meant it.
a newcomer, however, made play for
a big stake and won. While his fell

speaker enter his carriage, the youth
nestled under Toms big wing, whisper
ing at the door of the vehicle: Mr..
Speaker. for Gods sake let me get in
and ride around the corner with YOU!

haven't got to notice me at all. If YOU
turn me down''-he became almost
tragic-''it would ruin me forever i'm

Whaleback barge 129, owned by the
United States Steel corporation, was
sank by collision with her steamer,
the Maunaloa, in the gale on Lake Su-

the day. The whaleback went down
in deep water and is a total loss.
When thirty miles west northwest Of
Whiteflsh point the towline from the
Maunaloa to the barge parted and the
barge was sent adrift in the sea. While
trying to pick up the barge the steamer
crashed into it, the steamers post an
Choir going through the side of the
whaleback. 1t was soon seen that the
barge could not keep af1Oat and the
crew was safely transferred to the
steamer. Fifteen minutes later the
whaleback sank in 125 feet of water.
The lost barge was valued at 100000.
She had on board some $500 tons of
ore, worth $4,000 or more.

A farm paper asks it's readers to dis
cuss the questions Of clover hay versus
corn silage for dairy COWS and clover
hay versus shredded corn for the same
purpose 1t is the old idea that feed
is simply a feed. There is no versus
in the matter. Glover hay will not
take the place Of corn silage any more
than corn silage will take the place Of
clover hay. Both are needed in max
ing up a ration, or at least hay equiva-
lent to or better perhaps than clover
hay. from cowpeas. soy beans or al
falfa. The man who would take the
side in this sort of q discussion that
silage is better than clover hay as food
for dairy COWS would show that he
comprehends proper feeding no more
than the man who would take the 9th
err side and say clover hay is better
than silage. Far better discuss prac-
teal methods for getting the best re-
suits with both corn silage and legume
hay and the best methods for getting
crops Of each. Indian corn is the great
carbonaceous food. and the legumes
come in to furnish cheap protein, and
