Great Is the Hen.
Development of Poultry Industry A
Wonder of the Time.

In the January number of Leslies S
MonfhIy Frederic Haskin contributes
an interesting article on "The Great
American Barnyard.
"The growth Of the poultry industry
in this country" writes Mr.. Haskin,
'is one of the wonders of the time. AS
a producer of wealth the American hen
is a marvel To illustrate the in
creased earning powers of this indus
trious autocrat of tue barnyar it may
be stated that in Missouri. during the
last tisca! year, the sum derived from
the sale of poultry and eggs ran SIT:
600 ahead Of all the other products of
the State combined. The totals show
that the old hen, neglected and iett by
the farmer to forage for herself while
he devoted his attention to the field
crops, outstripped them all, including
corn, wheat, oats, flax, timothy seed,
clover seed, millet seed, cane seed,
castor beans, cotton seed, tobacco,
broom corn, hay and straw. This is
an astonishing statement, but a true
one Missouri fun nished New Eng

year, despite the fact that the latter is
the cradle Of the thoroughbred poultry
industry in the United States. In the
domain of the Yankee the poultry
farms are so thick that Hiawatha, with
his scven-league boots, could step from

in contact, and wherever I ran across
one who, all unconsciously, by some
small action or word uttered in ordi-
nary conversation, made me feel that
he had the qualities demanded in my
business, l gave him a chance to
prove that he really had them"
And how many of these men are
millionaires! Passing Charles Schwab,
H. c. Frick, Thomas Lynch and other
more prominent ones, take the case OF
A. r. Peacock as typical.
About twelve years ago Mr.. Pea
cock was salesman for a New York
decorating house. At that time Mr..
Carnegie wanted some decorating
done in his Fifth avenue house, and
Peacock was sent to him. Carnegie
was so pleased with the salesman that,
just as Mr.. Peacock was leaving, he
said, apropos of nothing that had gone
before:
young man, you will be rich some
day" Mr.. Peacock laughed.
"Mr. Carnegie" he answered, eff l
thought so I'd be willing to give the
man who helped me to riches liberal
discount"
Mr.. Carnegie's reply all but took
away the hearers breath.
"I'll take you at your word. Go to
your employers, resign at once, and
come with me.''
Mr.. Peacock did as he was bid; and
Judging by results, he gave Mr.. Car

When he was auditor of the Comp.

New York to consult with his com

negie set wine before his guest.
"No, thank you; l don't drink" said
Mr.. Moreland.
Later on Mr.. Carnegie brought out
the cigars
No, thank you; don't smoke
said Mr.. Moreland.
Still later in the evening Mr.. Car
negie proposed game of cards.
No, thank you; don't play cards,
said Mr.. Moreland.
Mr.. Carnegie looked at his guest.
"Tell me why you don't do any ot
these things" he said.

THE SPIRIT OF WINTER.

The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making its presence known in many
different ways-sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes
more annoying, and the many symp-
toms of scrofula are developed and ag-
gravated. There is not much poetry
in this, bat there is truth, and it is
wonder that more people don't get rid
of these ailments. The medicine that
cures them-Hood's Sarsaparilla-is
easily obtained and there is abundant
proof that its cures are radical and
permanent.

REVERENCE FOR LAW.

Though deeply concerned for the conviction and

by which the guilt innocence Of defendants may be
determined. And in all reason and justice and COM
mon sense 1t is not for overwrought public opinion
to attribute motives to judgment of higher court.
