Gen. William Booth, founder Of

the late Winfield Scott Stratton pro

In an interview he said: at is all a
mistake to give poor people SO much
charity. They should be made to
work, for no one has the right to live
on the product of another mans labor
without giving proper compensa-
ton" 1t was remarked that the
home was for the INDECENT poor and
crippled, whereupon the general said:
II do not care if they are crippled:
they should work anyway, for every
body can do some work. Even my

and paralyzed in her right arm.

VALUABLES WORTH $1,000.
Mrs. John Middleton, of Louisville
Loses Money and JeweIry.

Last night at o'clock, at the corner of
Illinois and Washington streets, Mrs. John
Middleton, of Louisville, Ky, lost a large
hand bag containing jewelry and other val
tables amounting TO nearly $1,000 Mrs.
Middleton was seated in a carriage with
Mrs. w. ii. Coleman, or North Meridian
street, whom she was TO visit Mrs. Mid
dleton remembered having the satchel when
she reached Illinois and Washington
streets, but did not miss it uutil she had
been driven nearly to Mrs. Coleman's home.
She instantly returned and reported her
loss TO Patrolman RAIDER, who stands at the
corner. He in the meantime had been told
that colored boy, apparently about TWEEN
ty years old, was seen to pick up an alli-
gator bag and walk west on Washington
street and disappear in the crowd. Several
men saw the boy pick up the valise and
ran after him, but he dashed into the crowd
and was lost sight of.
The valise contained a black pocketbook
containing a check for S125 issued TO Mrs
Middleton and signed by her husband, John
Middleton, and $40 in gold and paper money;
one ruby ring set with two diamonds, val
ued at 1915; one turquoise ring and cluster
of diamonds, valued sat 500; one topaz ring
set with two diamonds, worth $780, one ring
with three sapphires and three diamonds,
valued at $50; two old-fashioned pearl pins,
worth Sl5O; one miniature set with sun
rubies and pearls, one d. A r. pin, one
Whist League pin and a sword pin made
of pearls. Mrs. Middleton said she would
offer a reward of $50 for the return of her
jewelry.
last night the entire bicycle and detective
forces were put to work on the case. News
boys in all parts of the city were closely
questioned, but no clew could be obtained
that would lead TO the identity of the COL
ored boy who was seen to walk away with
the bag.

Planting Catalpa Trees.
Arboriculture.

ATDOTlcultuIe
1t seems strange that the Forestry Blu
reau, which is doing so much credita Bile
work in other lines of arboriculture, should
still cling to the same error which wrecked
many early planters of catalpas, that of
overcrowding the trees, destroying their
vigor and dwarfing beyond recovery.
Trees have as extensive a system of roots
beneath the soil as of branches and TO-
liage above; they extend as far as the
branches and often much farther. If these
are confined TO a space two feet from the
wood growth and visible portion OF the tree
must be equally constrained. 1t is remark
able that the bureau cannot realize this
fact but misleads the public who are de-
pending upon such authority for guidance.

forts TO reach the light their growth will
be upwards. the lower limbs being elimin-
ated by shade and dense planting, and that
gradually, through a survival of the fit
test" the stronger overcome and destroy
the weaker. thus securing the space re-
auired for their development is not natures
method In growing catalpa speciosa, as
may be learned by an examination OF the
utary streams. Here each tree has ample
space for the extension of root and branch
and they grow upright. straight. with long
body. free from branches. Often these
trees grew from 100 to $50 feet in height,
but there never were 200 trees on an acre.
Not only are trees stunted and forever
dwarfed BY such crowding as Is urged by

1.-THE farmers of Kansas are making a
good thing out of the raising of milk cows
and the production of milk. The creamery
industry of the State is in a more pros
porous condition than it has been for the
past fifteen years." said Mr.. George w.
Douglass, of Kansas City. THE prices re-
Gently paid the producer have been higher
recently than they have ever been before in
the history of the industry, and the farmers
are buying more cows and adding to their
output. The abundance of feed has made
the cost of keeping stock low and the prof.
its are giving the farmers an excellent
return for their investment.
THE extent Of the business among the
farming community Is not understood by
the outside States In Kansas, for instance,
the pay roll Of one creamery company alone
that can recall for the month of January
will amount to nearly $4,000 all of which
went to the farmers. This Is about the
average for the year, making from this one
company a distribution of nearly $500 900 in
the year. AS the farmers sons and daugh-
tiers do most of the work the profits are
almost clear money to him. Most of the
creamery money is being used to pay of
mortgages and build additions to the farm
ers' homes, adding TO the evident prosperity
that 1t has helped to bring

Corn is being burned in many localities
where wood cannot be had, where farmers
have heretofore depended wholly upon coal.
In other places hay. straw and beans are
used for fuel. None of these products make
good fuel and many of them are ex-

has the success of planting trees been more
apparent than in South Dakota, and this
State is an example of what may be done
by tree culture Twenty-Five years ago the
State was practically barren of timber. The
timber claim law was the favorite with
landseekers, who were after government
land in those days, and this law is re-
sponsible for the great growth of trees that

Pasturage and Quality.

IHlldutlpnld RECORD.
The breeds of cattle used for producing
milk from which choice butter is made are
but the agents for converting the different
foods into the commodity desired, and the
skill and labor applied render the products
of better finish in appearance, but the quail
ity is also influenced by the food. and es-
pecially by the pasturage. Pastures diff
fer greatly, some varieties of grasses being
better adapted to certain locations than
others, and the animals also differ indi-
vidually the most uniform product is that
which is made where there is the greatest
uniformity of pasture, breeds and methods
OF manipulation. Land being cheaper in
America than in England, our farmers rely
principally upon natural pasturage, prob
ably induced by the better adaptability
of the grasses to the soil, and their greater
hardness under favorable conditions; but
the European farmer gives his attention to
the cultivation of the pasture, using ma
nures and fertilizers, and selecting those
varieties of grasses that assist in adding
quality to the product. There is a certain
effect impaired TO milk, butter. cheese and
