 General Mix Up.
 Their other run was made in the eighth inning by Flanagan who hit for three bags, Kanzler was hit by a pitched ball stole second and on Graffius' throw there, in an effort to catch him, Flanagan started home from third and ran into Grafhus about two feet from plate and iu a general mix-up was touched by Welk- art with ball Umpire Goldsby called him safe much to the dissatisfaction of a large attendance and their protests of his de- clsion were heard from all parts of the grand stand.

Tone of the Market.

Milch cows are not circulating as free
" this week as last. Inspectors are be-
ing more careful how and where cows
comefrom and whittier they are going
to. Beef cattle are marketed but are
not unloaded until seal is taken of by
regular officials and we suppose they can
not be too cautious. Beef cattle rule
tirmer on the more common grades while
good cattle are steady in price. Sales
mostly from 2a5 LIE.
Sheep and lamb are in lighter supply,
being higher in the West, and cannot be
handled by butchers at advanced rates.
Western sheep cost here S4.3Oa5.0c. per
100 lbs. and do; lambs, S4.SOa7.SO per
100 lbs. A number of lots of northern
aud eastern sheep and lambs that cost
a trhe less than the Western.
Hog market higher, still higher
When as at the present, western hogs
cost I 1-Sa7 S-Sc on the foot it is big
price to pay for packing purposes. Lo-
cal lots of hogs bring Gao LAC, dressed
weight, and some predict they will go
up to 10c, but we have seen sudden drops
in prices and it does not always pay tC

q man unaccustOmed to talking. Yet
the resolute face and bearing of the
candidate for governor showed to the
discerning eye. even under these disad.
yantages, that he was man capable
Of filling the position with credit.
Then. the minor business Of the con.

ed frantically, and the big body broke
into the confusion of leaving. The
platform was crowded with prominent
men exchanging greetings or charging
toward the candidate in the center OF
the stage.
Men do not do these things right as
women do. Old Governor Culberson
stood up slowly from his chair at the
edge of the platform. No one paid the
slightest attention to him. They were
headed toward the group at the center
Of the stage. The old man looked un'
certainly at the crowd, then turned
slowly away and started down the
platform steps. A little district tele.
graph boy who was ut the press tables
below helped him on with his coat and
watched him with awe as he plodded
slowly to the door. he went straight
to the station and took the first train
back to his empty home.
I saw him on the train. He was
crouched down in the corner Of the
seat. His hat was drawn down over
his eyes, his stock was somewhat awry
and his shirt front was disarranged
and rumpled. He was staring steadily
at the back Of the seat before him.
That night he died.

clothes were not SO carefully tended,
and there began to be suspicion Of
dinginess on his immaculate shirt front.
People began to see that he was an
old man. "You must take care Of your
self, governor" his friends said.
In the meantime the boom for Miles
Holcomb still hurried along. The eau
cuses went solidly for him all over the
state. A young lawyer from the north
was to be made lieutenant governor.
All records for harmony were sur
passed. The question now arose as to
who would present the name Of our
candidate before the state convention.
Holcomb, who had warmed up to the
game by this time, was very much in
terested in this. He made up his mind
he must have Governor Culberson, and
with characteristic directness he went
to him and asked him .or his services.
"My dear sir" replied the old gentle
man, with dignity, "while 1 appreciate
the distinguished honor you offer me, l
fear l shall be obliged to decline.

"Oh, thunderw said Holcomb. 'Tf l

Culberson pleaded hard. "Mr. Hol-

But Holcomb insisted, and finally the
old man yielded to him.

said to his friends.

In local history had come In submis-
sively at all hours of the day and night
to beg q favor or to ask advice, and
many letter came into that old black
walnut desk, franked from the White
House itself, asking information from
the man who knew more about the
state than any one else alive and who
did not fear to tell the truth about 1t.
When Governor Culberson opened
the door of Sam Wilson's little den.
he recognized In a dim way that he
had reached a crisis in his affairs. He
had never himself experienced the
power of the man, yet he had often
observed it in the fortunes Of others.
Sam Wilson sat before him at his desk.
a gray old schoolmaster Of politicians,
staring at him over his gold bowed
spectacles. Wilson showed no surprise
at the visit. Sooner or later they all
came ND to him. Yet in his gruff way
he was very cordial. He shook hahds

A Bright Future for the Bright Farm
Row

A great many men in the United States
are very fond of the soil. They love TO
have fine farms, handsome buildings,
the finest of horses, cattle, sheep and
swine. Ii gratifieS both their taste and
their pride to ride over their landed es-
tate and feel that they are engaged IN
the most ariStOcratic of all callinSs, that
of land owner and farmer.
There is deep laid instinct for owner
ship in the soil, that exists alike in the
hearts of the poor and the rich. But of
all property ownership the farm is the
most hazardous unless it is supervised
by intelligence and practical Judgment.
Most of the wealthy owners of farms
have but little, and in many cases none,
of this Judgment. They must depend
upon hired superintendents. 1t is ditti-
cult thing for any man no matter now
honest, to serve another who he knows
has no knowledge of when he is well or
| i'll served. Human nature is weak at the
best, and it is an old and true maxim that
but 'few men do any better than they
are obliged to-"
A great Polish nobleman who had large
estates said:
There are two kinds of stewards; he
who thinks only of himself, and he who
thinks of himself and us; happy the land
owner who lays his hand on the latter:
AS for the steward who thinks only ol
us, he is not to be met with"
| Ii is very evident then that every
wealthy owner of farm owes it To MS
own interest that he make serious study
of the problems of the farm. He must
know thoroughly and well not only ms
side of the question, as an employer Oh
labor and skill, but he must know the
hired mans side of it as well. There Is
rapidly springing up a new departmento Oh
labor, that of superintendent OF farms
All thoroughly well equipped. Agricui-
tural Colleges are turning their attention
to supplying of this demand. AT the
present time there are hundred wanted
where one can be found. The whole
country is waking up to a knowledge ol
the value of real scientific brain farming
The man that is wanted for the manage
ment of these great farms must ot

1.-The farm. He must also be active, ane
absolutely honest, more so even thah
bank clerk. More than this he mus
have broad and well balanced Judg

But still more he must be good judge
of human nature, tactful manager o
men. In most cases such men are farm
ing for themselves, but here is field 10

In England in 1914 undertakers were
men of influence who undertook for O.
consideration to get such persons re-
turned to parliament as would prove
submissive to the royal will Of King
james |. The three chief undertakers
of 1914 were Lords Bacon, Somerset
and Neville. They undertook to bribe
the chief speakers and men Of hhu-
ence in parliament that year over to
the side of the king, with but partial
success. Then there were undertakers
I'm Ireland in 1908. They were English
and Scotch colonists sent to north Ire
land and were each allotted 1000 acres
Of land. They were men Of capital and
undertook to pay a mark year for
every six acres and to admit no reeu-
SAINT for tenants. Hence the name as
applied to them. But neither the his
tories nor the dictionaries give any rea'
son for. calling the men who bury our
dead undertakers.

Fond of Old Stories.

Senator Depew while acting as presl.
dent Of the New York Central road was
approached for pass to Syracuse
three years in succession by man
with the same pitiful tale Of n mothers
illness and the strong desire Of the ap.
plicant to see her once again. Through
his sympathetic nature he had yielded
each year, but upon the last occasion
with an admon.tion that the applica-
tion should never be renewed. Much to
his surprise, upon entering his Office
one morning the following year he
found the applicant, with identically
the same recital.
How dare you come here again with
that old story" he exclaimed
"Why. Mr.. Depew," blandly replied
the applicant, II thought that you were
fond Of old stories"
The cloud fell from Chauncey's face,
smile overspread his features which
broadened into hearty laugh, and as
soon as be could recover himself he sat
down and wrote out the annual pass.

"Did you just come out Of that cor

The young man, while Of respectable
appearance, was plainly Ill at ease and
confused.

A Rats Teeth.

The rat Is remarkably well equipped
for the peculiar life he is ordained TO
lead. He has strong weapons In the
shape of four long and very sharp
teeth-two in the upper jaw and two
I'm the lower. These teeth are wefge
shaped and by n wonderful provision
of nature have always a fine, sharp
cutting edge. On examining them care
fully the inner part is found to be OF
soft. ivorylke composition, which can
easily be worn away. and the outside
Is composed OF glasslike enamel
which is exceedingly hard.
The upper teeth work into the under
so that the centers Of the opposed teeth
meet perfectly in the act OF gnawing:
hence the soft part is being continually
worn away. while the hard part keeps
a hard, chisel-like edge all the time, and
at the same time the teeth are con-
stantly growing up from the bottom. so
that as they wear away fresh supply
is ready. Should one of these teeth be
removed by accident or otherwise, the
opposing tooth will continue to grow.
and there being nothing to wear 1t
away 1t will project from the mouth
and be turned upon itself, and II IT be
an under tooth 1t will often grow 80
long as to penetrate the skull.
