Boys; when you speak OF your RAIN
er. don't call him "the old man. or
course, you are older now than when
you learned to call him father" You
are much smarter than you were then;
you are much more manly looking
Your clothes fit better; your hat has a
modern shape, and your hair is combed
differently. In short, you are flyer
than you were then. Your father has
a last years coat, and a two years
old hat, and a vest Of still another pat
tern. He can't write such an elegant
note as you can, and all that-but don't
call him 1.-The old man" Call him faith
er. For years he has been hustling
around to get things together, he has
been held to the thorny path of uphill
industry for years, and the brightest
half Of life has gone from him for
ever. But he loves you, though he
goes about without saying much about
1t, and If he knew you were bad, II
would be the heaviest burden he has
to bear.

Charlea cnrro11,n Bravery.

There Is one episode In history
which made a great impression on me
the first time 1 remember hearing
about it, and that impression has not
been lost or even become fainter In
the years that have passed since.
1t happened in July, ITO, when q
group Of men, the representatives Of
the American people, were gathered
together about a table, signing their
names to that great work known as
the Declaration of Independence.
Among the last to come forward was
a man from Maryland. and after writ
ing his name, Charles Carroll, one of
the others said to him, 'If England
ever gets us in her power we are sure
to be hung as traitors. But there are
other men in the colonies by the name
Of Charles Carroll, so you have more
of a chance to escape"
For a moment there was silence:
then Carroll picked up the pen and
after his signature wrote the words:
"Of Carrollton"-the only man In all
those fifty-six to tell the name of the
town In which he lived.
Other things, perhaps, of far more
Importance to the world have taken
place than when Charles Carroll wrote
the name of his town after his own,
but the remembrance Of his unselfish,
ness and bravery will ever be treas.
ured in my mind as an evidence OF
those qualities which l most admire

Farm Notes.

The man or woman who does not
know how to keep up q rotation In the
garden crops is not up to present day
privileges.
The longer the calf is left with its
dam the harder it will be to teach it
to drink. The longer it is left with
the COW the harder it will be to wean,
and the more foolish the cow will act
when weaving is attempted.
Don't kick the hogs for rushing
around you for their meals. 1t is your
own fault. If you would feed them
as you should, you would not be in
such a hurry. If you must kick, give
yourself good big jolt for not feeding
better.
1t is very good plan to keep all
grain sacks and similar property
marked or branded. 1t is not a matter
of proving dishonesty, but a matter
of convenience to have them SO
marked. There are times when they
will accidentally get lost.
The commercial fertilizer used annu-
ally In the United States amounts to
between $4O,OOO.0O0 and $4,000, 900,
Most of the States have provided for
official inspection of fertilizer to pro-
tect the farmer from fraud. The heay-
lest applications are made In the
Southern States. In some of the prai-
RE States hardly any commercial fer
tilizers are sold.

The finest and softest wool Is al

expert in judging sheep always looks
at the wool on the shoulders first. AS
Stunning that the wool to be inspected
Is really fine, the shoulders are first
examined as a part where the finest
wool is to be found, which is taken as
a standard, and is compared to tbs
wool from the ribs, the thigh, the
rump and the shoulder parts, and the
nearer the wool from the various por
lions Of the animal approaches the
standard the better.

A RUSSIAN EXECUTION.
Remarkable Sang Frold of a Desperate
Criminal on the Scaffold.

Criminal ON the Scaffold.
Some time ago Russian criminal
was executed in st. Petersburg. He
had during the last two years muir
dered twelve persons, the last one be-
Ing a priest. The law did not show
this monster any mercy, but speedily
condemned him to death.
Stebljanski was the name Of this
wholesale murderer, and he hoped to
the last for clemency. When the death
warrant was read and the keeper in
formed him that he had but six hours
to live, he ragged and swore to revenge
himself in the most terrible manner.
After being loft alone in the cell the
first thing he did was to break his
lamp, and, procuring some matches, he
set fire to the oil. In a moment the
flames broke through the window, and
the entire building was for a time
threatened with destruction. Fortu
nately the fire was discovered In time
and gotten under control before much
damage had been done, but in the
meantime a terrible struggle ensued
between the keepers and the criminal,
who had fortified himself with an iron
bar, taken from his bedstead. The
first man to enter the cell was knocked
senseless, and it was only after being
almost suffocated with smoke that
the prisoner was finally overpowered.
Next morning the execution took place.
The condemned man assembled the
scaffold with much bravado, made a
thorough examination of the same, and
finally declared that the rope was too
short
Il cannot get my head In the loop"
he said, land though it will cause me
some Inconvenience to wait, I will
smoke a cigarette while you are hay-
| ing 1t attended to-"
He lighted cigarette, and, turning
to the executioner, made a speech,
| pointing out the detestable in his pro-
feSsion, and as a condemned criminal
in Russia has certain rights, no one
dared to interrupt him.
The executioner, who really was q
tender-hearted man, became visibly af.
fected by the moralizing words of the
murderer, and. turning to the crowd
assembled before the scaffold, declared
that his conscience did not allow him
to proceed or to take a fellow-man's
life, and he then and there resigned
his position and departed midst the
shouts of the assemblage
This caused, great confusion among
the representatives of the law. for
where could they in a hurry get an
other oxecutioner? The question was
however, solved by the condemned
man, who declared that he would ok.
ecute himself as soon as he got
through smoking. He started an In.
terssting conversation with the priest
during the five minutes or so which
he had left, and recommended that he
read Count Tolstoy's latest book
which contains striking remarks about
the relation Of capital punishment to
the teachings of Christianity, He
then threw kiss to a pretty girl
among the spectators, stuck his head
IN the loop, and kicked away the tran
beneath his feet.

Guilty in obtaining all the water needed

utilized by placing a barrel which Ia

1t is understood that one of the

an suffragists had their day in court
with the members of the general as
sembly Wednesday, afternoon. The leg
islators crowded the hall of the house
of representatives while the women
gave their reasons for passing the
pending bill to confer limited suffrage
upon taXpaying women. The women
had a hard time getting a member of
the legislature to preside. Speaker Mil
lie was requested to preside, and hasti-
ly declined. A dozen other senators and
representatives We're invited to act as
chairman, but all suddenly discovered
that they had pressing business which
would prevent their acceptance. Final
~ Senator Burnett was drafted, and
as he is chairman of the senate COM
mittee on elections he could not escape
and reluctantly promised to call the
meeting to order. He stipulated, how

However. with work of the formal
