GENERAL BELL DENIES CRUELTY

Conduct of So1dfery Was Not Char
 acterized by Inhumanity.
 SOUTHAMPTON, England, April % General J. Franklin Bell, U. $. A., who is on his way home from the Phil ippines and who sails for New York on the North German Lloyd steamer KronprinZ Wilhelm, when shown the cabled digests of the report of Lieuten- ant General Miles said all complaints made to General Miles while he was in the Philippines have been thoroughly partment. -..
 ''I would very greatly regret to have the American people believe," said l1eneral Bell, tthat any American off eers or soldiers had been wantonly cruel or inhuman in their treatment of natives. I do not believe that anything I can say unoficially will change any ones opinion. Nothing certainly would make any one who served creditably in the Philippines think that the conduct of the American army has been char acterized by cruelty"
 When shown editorial articles from papers commenting upon the brutality of the American army in the Philip pines, General Bell said: N>
 '"The press comments are evidently inspired by misapprehension, and l trust that the American army may not long rest under tAch a stigma in the i eyes of foreign nations Truth is pow erful, and it must finally prevail"

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

Novelty is so prominent in this weeks show at the Jacques, and 1t is so we'll blended with comedy that the patrons of the house have found it decidedly to their liking, and they are turning out in large numbers at the performances. The Three Meers in their sensational walking novelty have made strong impression, and in some respects their act is proving one of the most popular headline features of the season. It is decidedly original in the first place, and then the Meers are such complete masters of their art that it is presented in a way to make it as attractive as 1t is sensational. There are at least two other novelties on the bill in the clay modelling by NC Nance and the acrobatics by the Four De Lucas, European stars. The com edy, which is plentiful and more than usually good, is provided by the Rich ard Colin company in "A Night of Trouble" John F. Clark with funny song and stories, Rado and Bertram and the Folly Trio. and the vitagraph has "Gulliver's Travels" Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

1.-THE GIRL WITH THE GREEN EYES"

If there are any jealous wives and suffering husbands i'll this community, they may draw lesson from Clyde Fitch's comedy drama. ''Tne Girl With the Green Eyes, which Charles Froh- man presents at Polls this evening with Clara Bloodgood featured. 1t is by no means a green-eyed monster that figures In Fitchs drama, but pretty bride who Is just bit jealous. 1t is S5r this reason that the play is proving xbc popular. All enjoy 1t, and the. scenes which are so adroitly developed have the real life about them so that they are appreciated all the mora. Its suc- cess iu New York, where it ran over NE0O nights, and more recently in Bos- h, has been very great. The comedy
 charming picture of real life, and
 the action Mir Fitch has given more
 ramatic situations than IS his wont. EIis plot is interesting, and his crisp aiaiogue Is delightful Prices are 25, s.n 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

Raising Small Chickens.

| My experience is that chicks two
weeks old are half raised, as far as
mortality goes; of course rats, minks
and skunks, also some of the family
cats, do not care whether the chicks
are two weeks or four weeks old,
says a writer in the Country Gentle
man. Cats sometimes are cunning and
! get away with many little chicks be-
! fore they are suspected. Cats kill
rats, but for pOultry-men one good rat
dog and a spade is worth a dozen cats.
This is my experience. We should not
undertake to raise chicks among rats;
kill the rats, and as a precaution have
the brooder house or coops some dis
lance from the barns, cribs and other
rat harbors, and still more, the brood
ers and coopS should be rat-proof and
the dog encouraged to make war on
all "varmints." | am confident that
not over so per cent of the chicks
Matched ever reach marketable age.
In some instances perhaps 10 per cent
| escape and live, and in other instances
| where care and watchfulness is the
little more about rats; they often do
their greatest damage in daylight,
pick the chicks up in tn weeds Or
wherever they can get them: keeping
the weeds mOwn down is precautiOn,
and especially around the barns and
crib; eternal vigilance is the price of
success in the little chicken business.
The same methods as for minks and
skunks are recommended for rats A
few steel traps, the trusty dog and a
shot gun will discourage the hawks
and crows.
Now about feed. The kind of feed
is almost always blamed for little
chick ailments. [ think the greatest
number of experienced poultry raisers
will agree with me in saying that
bowel trouble and other small chick
ailments are more often due to other
causes than the KIND of feed; over
heating, over chilling, wet and cold
etc, are the vital Instructions to sue
cess. Mites and lice are blood suck
ers, and the coops and brooder houses
for small chicks should be some dis
lance from the old vermin- breeding
hen houses and other buildings A
good feed for small chicks can be
made as follows: Take two quarts
coarse corn meal, half pint coarse
sand Cor fine broiler teeth grit and
half a pint fine cut beef scraps; mix
and bake as corn cake, only bake it
about twice as long or inst as dry AS
you can; then crumble it up fine and
feed it once each day. For the other
feeds provide nick-nacks in the way
OF cut wheat, steel cut oats, common
fan or mill tailings, some millet seed
and some curd cheese; light bread
soaked in milk and squeezed dry is
good for them, and in spite of the
cautions we sometimes see, Ganpened
corn meal in light doses is good.

A CONDESCENSION.

Gwendolin Jones was chubby and
sweet,
And her age was half-past three;
And she lived in a house on yelling
ton street,
In the yard with the walnut tree.
Harold Perciyal Marmaduke Smith
Was almost half-past four;
And he said, when they gave him a
baseball and bat,
That he'd play with the girls 10
more"
Gwendolin Jones she gazed through
the fence,
At an end were all LIES joys,
AS she saw the friend of her youth de-
part
"To play with the great big boys"
Harold Percival Marmaduke Smith
Up to the field marched he;
But his eye was BACKED, and his head
= was whacked,
And his ball no more did he see.
And the boys called him Baby" be-
cause ee cried,
Did Teddy and Willie and Tim,
And they chased him away when he
threatened to tell,
And said they'd mo use for him
Gwendolin Jones came down to the
fence,
And her face wore a joyful smile
When Harold Percival Marmaduke
said
He'd play with her "once in a while.

Spring Work in the Apiary.

The beginner in beekeeping should
enter the business with vim and enthu-
siasm, if lie or she wishes any marked
success, remembering that success
lies in the management Of a business,
and that few lines will manage them
selves to success. The business is as
interesting as it is possible for bust
ness to be, says a writer in the Trib-
une Farmer. The products are in the
line of health and progress to the
human race-for health is in the honey
and conditions are found to tax the
scientists and to interest and instruct
the general observer. Last season l
mentioned the danger of breeding up
to full strngth too early, thus endan-
gering the colonies by starvation, IN
less costly feeding is resorted to. A
full colony will consume a great
amount Of stores within short time
when the combs are full of brood.
Feeding should be done about six
weeks or more before the certain
honey flow. Never feed up for tenn
porary and uncertain flows. 1t is very
necessary to give plenty of time for
stimulative feeding, especially if the
weather is to be cool and damp, for
