Pitcher Plant.

AOne of the most remarkable car
nivorous vegetables in the world is the
pitcher plant of the tropics. 1t is safe
to say at least that no other plant in
it's kingdom is more ingenious in catch
ing it's prey and in disposing Of it
afterward.
The plant is shaped very much like
a pitcher, with the mouth, of course, at
the top. The pitcher is, moreover, per-
fectly water tight and is usually well
filed with rain water The sides are
very smooth and inviting.
The plant, thus equipped, lies in
wait, if the expression may be used,
until some fly or small insect enters
or falls into the water compartment.
So smooth are the sides that when the
prey is once in the water it has great
difficulty in getting out and, as rule,
quickly browns. The insect is then de-
voured by the plant.

We see him wherever we go, at farm
home and city residence the old man
on the porch, sitting reading, some
times smoking, his life work done and
he only waiting. Often a little grand
child will be in his lap, and youth and
old age will be comparing notes
grandpa telling stories of his long ago
and the little. one prattling of her
childish interests not very far separat-
ed from each other this old man and
the child. AS they sit there, removed
from the rush and business of the
busy world, the old man recalls the
past, the pioneer days Of his early man
hood, the struggle to build a home in
the new country, the encouragement
and hardships and the final success
and as one prattles and the other
dreams, golden hair and grey beard
blend and they sleep, the little child
and the old man on the porch.

Many Wisconsin papers are saying
much about the excellent game laws as
we now have them. Such approval is
all rot of the rottenest kind. The man
who lives where game abounds is the
man to be considered in the game law
question and not the sportsman. A law
that will fine the man who shoots
and not for food is the kind of a law
that is needed A law that will let the
man who lives in the backwoods kill
game and trade it off for shoes for his
children would be a decent law and one
that forbids the sale is all wrong.
What is needed is law that will pro-
tect the backwoods settler more than
the game itself. To kill for sport
ought to be made a crime and to waste
game after it is killed ought to bring on
the offender double penalty When
will Wisconsin newspapers awake to
the true situation and stand for the
right instead of injustice! We are
afraid never.

We Are Drinking More Tea.

Americans are apparently becoming
greater tea-drinkers, for in 1908 the
net imports of hiatt article were 1884,
632,26O pounds, against 74,374, O41 in
1902. Compared with the preceding
years the imports from Japan in
creased more than 100000 pounds,
ard there was an increase from China
of more than 100000 pounds.
The gross imports OF coffee in the
fiscal year 1902 were 1,O91 ,OO4, 252
pounds, while in 1903 only 915, 966, $50
pounds came in. Despite the falling
off in imports, which was probably due
to the market having large supply
on hand, the amount transhipped and
exported was 47,7O1, 3O6pounds, against
"a, 426,615 pounds in the previous
years, says the government official
report 1t is interesting to note that the
per capita consumption of coffee is
about thirteen pounds, while that Of
tea is one and one half pounds. The
price of tea, however, is more than
double that of coffee. Chicago Jour-

There are lots of people living in the
country who are afraid of fresh air
after dark and sleep in tightly closed
bedrooms. It is all poppycock that
night air is bad air. The more good
fresh air one can have in his bed room

restorative will be his rest. 1t is bet
ter to sleep out under the stars than
go into one of these air tight rooms.

Tug of War in BurmaI,.

In Burmah the inhabitants have a
novel form of the sport that elsewhere
is commonly called tug-of-war. In the
Burmese game there is a rain party
and a drought party, which pull one
against the other, the victory of either
party being considered to have i'm
mediate results as regards the weather.
The drought party, however, obtains
few victories, for the kind of weather
it represents is commonly not so much
desired as rain. In the face, therefore,
of strong public opinion the rain
party is nearly always allowed to win,
the palpable 'ropng" in the popular
notion being generally followed by a
fertilizing downpour.-New York
Tribune.

The Sultan of Turkey has granted
an application pending since July,
1900, for permission to the University
of Chicago to make an exploration
of the country in the vicinity of
ancient Babylon. The place where
the exploring parties will have special
privileges is Tel Ibrahim, long re-
garded as part Of Babylon, and in
which vicinity are supposed to be
the ruins of the temple in which
Nebuchadnezzar offered sacrifices,
besides which the explorers hope to
find the tomb of Abraham. The
university should have sent war
ship or 2 to back its application, and
it wouldn't have taken the Sultan over
3 years to have made up his mind.

The most tractable and lovable boys
and girls whom we know are those
who are required and taught to work,
doing such work as is suited to their
years and strength. Work for young
people is one of the best of educators
and withal is the best means by which
to secure a good physical development
and good health. The nimble feet and
dexterious fingers of children may be
trained in hundred ways for their
own we'll being and as valued helps for
parents Some foolish parents neglect
to do this on the plea that it is more
trouble to teach the child than it is to
do the work required. This is a COM
mon mistake. A child may be taught
to do things much easier than a puppy
or colt. What we mean was illustrated
by seeing twelve year-old girl set a
table for company supper, she attend
ing to every nice detail of the work as
correctly as would her more expert
enced mother. She had been taught
how.

FARMERS TO FORM TRUSTS.

A huge farmers trust that Will out
rank the United States Steel corpora
ton or the Standard Oil company
when it reaches the growth it's promot-
ers anticipate was prepared for launch
ing at Chicago this week by represent
atives CT agriculture associations from
more than dozen states.
They discussed plans for organizing
national body for the purpose of fix
ing prices for all farm produce, reg
ulating the marketing of crops and
constructing grain elevators and cold
storage warehouses for the use Of
farmers
The suggestion is made to amalga-
mate all organizations nowin existence
and form associations in every county
in each state under the direction OF a
national body. The national organi-
zation, to carry out the plans outlined,
would have to be capitalized for $780,
100000, and the farmers would be
expected to subscribe for the stock.
The conference was called to order
at II o'clock by Hamilton White,
promoter of the Farmers National Co.
operative exchange, and the following
officers were chosen:
Chairman--Selden Williams of Texas.
Secretaries Dwight Clapp and J. R.
Burton of Chicago.
j. A. Everitt, president of the Ameri-
can Society of Equity, was the first
speaker.
Farmers have more trouble today
than ever BEFORE, said President Ever
lit. cat present every other important
industry in the country is organized,
but the farmers have not taken the
necessary steps to protect their
interests. The business of farming is
in bad way, and conditions will grow
worse unless something is dom along
the lines of organization and CO.
operation. The bigger the crop the
smaller the prices.
"The only reason every farmer is not
bankrupt to-day is that the all-wlse AL
mighty sends us dry season now and
then, which makes a short crop and
good prices. In this way the average is
maintained. We should not wait for
Providence to do it all. God helps
those who help themselves, and it is
time the farmers did something to help
themselves.
"The census reports show that the
average earning of the farmer is 26
cents day. He works longer hours
and endures more hardships than any
other class of labor The farmer holds
the destiny OF the industrial world in
his hand and he should take advantage
of his position.
We must form national organiza-
ton, fix a minimum price for our prod
ucts, and hold back our crops until we
get our price. It is just as easy to get
81 for corn as it is to get 80 cents"
"One of the first questions which we
must consider after the organization of
the association says J. J. Ryan, Fort
Dodge, Iowa. after the session sis that
of widening and deepening the Erie
canal so that large grain barges may
pass up and down it. In this way we
can force rates for which we would
otherwise be compelled to beg. AS long
as there is no competition the rail
ways can dictate prices to us and we
can only submitto them"

lost lover. He went white under the

his apparent embarrassment, Dolly
melted to kindness.

she broke out impulsively. 'It was
given me by the best friend ever had
in the world. l will reward you liber-

She took from her chatelaine at her
belt two crisp ten dollar bills and held
them toward him. He stiffened at
once. He had not thought of the re-
ward. Then all at once he remembered
and took the money with hand that
trembled.

you," he said, with eager eyes on her
face, eff you will permit me to call it

Dolly stirred uneasily. Who was
this strange, unkempt man with the
haunting eyes and the speech of col
lege professor? Poor fellow, he looked
hungry. Perhaps he had had so much
trouble it had turned his brain She
rose hastily.
"Why, certainly, Mr.-Mr. Yukon"
she stammered, land thank you so
much. Goodby" And to her own
amazement, compelled by those eyes,
she put out her hand. He seized it
and pressed his dry, hot lips upon it,
then ran down the brownstone steps.
He went straight to haberdashery,
a barber shop and cafe in turn. Then,
transformed into keen faced New
York business man-so much for out

fondly. "You love to tease, don't you?
How do you happen to owe me twen-
ty?" expecting to hear his oft repeated
declaration that he owed everything
in the world to her.
Because borrowed it from you two
years ago." he replied soberly, "and
gave as security a heart shaped gold
locket."

gers buried in the soft mass of her
wonderful hair. When he had finished

Of course-he might have known she
would advertise-he had been so alb
sorbed in his own plan for the restora-
ton of the locket and for sight Of
Dolly that he had not thought Of that.
He had spent his last nickel for mea-
ser breakfast at the Wayside inn. New
err mind, he would walk; he had the
strength of ten now. That little magic
word 'sKirk' in her note had given him
new life and hope.
She was not married then, and she
still priced the little gold heart he had
given her-enough to offer a reward
more than it's value. Why, he would
go to work in the subway or anywhere.
He could live on 40 cents a day and
save 80. Then when he had enough he
would buy some decent clothes and go
to Halburn, in Wall street. He could
do something for him-get him a good
position perhaps, and then-Dolly!
Once again his feet kept time to the
old quickstep which makes the world
go round. All of life was once more
set to the sweet music of a woman's
name-"Dolly, Dolly! My Dolly"
''You wish to see Miss Kirk? Is it
about the locket" said the sweetest
voice in al! the world. Dolly at seven
