TRY 1T.

1t is said that by giving hog salt
before killing is safe and sure method
for preserving the meat, whether the
weather is cold enough or not. The
oldsmethod of covering meat with salt
is expensive and very unsatisfac tory.
Give your hogs hand full of salt
three times a day in meal or slops for
several days before killing, then use
just half as much salt you have hereto
fore been using, and your meat will be
perfectly safe. By giving the salt in
ternally it reaches the bones better
than by external applications, hence
preserving meat, large or small, is no
longer to be dreaded.

! HORSE THIEF
BY Jasper Peyfon

Copyright. 1909, by 4. c. Mcclure

Aunt Judith Hobson was a widow
and ran her own farm. She was toe
sharp to be taken in by tin peddlers
lightning rod men and patent gate
agents, but she felt it in her bones that
the day would come when a horse thief
would get the better of her. She had
stout locks put on the barn doors, and
many night she rose from her bed
and looked out of the window to see
that all was well. She had four or
five good horses, and the barn was
twenty rods from the house.
If you think about horse thieves by
day and dream of them at night for
four or five years, you will be pretty
certain to get what you want. The
night came when Aunt Judith sudden.
ly awoke from sound sleep to feel
that there was something wrong at the
barn. AS she leaned from her window
she heard one of the barn doors creak.
There were two hired men in the
house, and she knocked at their doors
and Informed them that a horse thief
had broken into the barn. They proba.
bly, woke up and got out as soon as
could be reasonably expected of hired
men, but their movements were toe
slow for the widow. There was NO
gun in the house. but she half dressed
herself and ran downstairs armed with
club. As she entered the barn yard
a man rode out of the road gate on
one of her horses.
Here, you! Thieves! Thievesw
shouted Aunt Judith, but of what usei
The man laughed and rode away to the
west, and the sleepy hired men came
stumbling out to say it was too bad.
Don't stand there like bumps on q
log" shouted the woman as she danced
about In her excitement.
But what can we dor" they asked.
"If you can't, | can. Bring out Dick
in hurry! Now give me a lift up.
I'm after that horse thief, and I'll fol.
low him to Jericho but what | over
haul him"
Dick was one of a span of horses,
and his mate had been stolen. Be
tween the two there was not much
difference in speed, but by the time
Aunt Judith rode out of the gate the
other had half a mile the start. She
could family hear his hoof beats
through the still night, and she cried.
"Glang, Dickr' and was off, riding
man fashion and going for a stake.
There were no crossroads for two
miles and no chance for the thief to

Oldest Methodist Minister

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller. }
STREATOR III, Nov. 5.-The Rev.
Byron Alden of this place, who cele-
brated his ninety seventh birthday to-
day, is the oldest Methodist minister
in the world, being eight months older
than the Rev. Joseph Ayres of Sidney,
o.. who has been called the oldest
Methodist minister
The Rev. Mr., Alden is still a forcible
pulpit preacher and fills appointments
occasionally. He spoke at the Metho-
dist conference held at Streator year
ago, when his eloquence and force and
his finn footstep were much commented
on.
He was born at Hinesburg, VT on
November 3, 1906. He preached in
New York conferences a number of
years before coming to Illinois. In this
state his first assignment was at
Woodstock, where ne remained ten
years, going later to Gardner and
Verona, The latter was his last regu-
lar appointment, and expired fifteen
years ago.
There are curious coincidents i'm the
careers of the Rev. Mr.. Alden and the
Rev. Mr.. Ayres, the two oldest Meth
odist ministers. Both We're born in
Vermont, each entered on his first reg
ular assignment in New York in 1880,
and each is spending his last years
with his daughter.
