Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1903-05-06

The members of the Chinese Iega-
ticn in Washington have always been
very fond of American society. Some
years ago a secretary, n portly and
dignified Mandarin, and two younger
attaches of the legation graced with
their presence the parlor of the wife of
government official. During the con-
versation the four-year-old nephew of
the hostess, a bright little fellow.
walked in and announced his prefer
encc for the aforementioned secre-
tary by climbing on his lap. Mr.. Cheng
as we shall call this dignitary-was
well pleased with the youngsters at
tentions. After Young America had
sufficiently admired the great mans
silks and buttons, he turned to the dis
tirguished visitor with the most be-
witching of smiles and inquired,
Where is your laundry?" On this oc-
sion our Chinese friends did not undu-
ly prolong their visit.-Lippincott's.

Wood Ashes as a Fertilizer.

| think the average farmer does not
fully realize the value of wood ashes
as a fertilizer, consequently they are
i'll many instances made little or no
account of. This is a grave mistake
and should be speedily remedied, for
ashes allowed to waste are dollars
thorwn away, something New Eng
land farmers can i'll afford. Wood ash
es are generally considered unavail-
able for low meadow land. My expert
ence proves this to be untrue.
| consider them fully as efficient on
damp ground as on dry land. My farm
is low brook meadow. What ashes
| make and obtain otherwise are
sown broadcast in the fall on that por-
ton of the farm which is losing its
fertility and is manifest by light,
thin crop of grass. The result is
astonishing. The spring following the
application a perfect mat of white
clover comes in with an increased
growth of herds grass. Land that was
cutting three-fourths ton per acre be-
fore this application cut from one and
three-quarters to two tons per acre
afrerward.
and what l do not understand, is
where the white clover comes from.
1t always comes in where it was not
seen before, frequently when it is not
on any other part of the farm. The
ashes are responsible for it, but how

next spring there would be a thick
bottom of white clover in addition.

| have no definite plan in applying
orally and nature does the rest. The
fall is the best time to top-dress with
ashes. The winter rains and SHOWS
tend to aid assimilation. The ashes
are leached down to where the grass

dislike, and without materially in
creasng the bottom growth. Again,
unless you have manure spreader,
the dressing in applied in Jumps and
in consequence the growth is uneven.
Ashes are fully as efficient if applied
to plowed ground and stocked with
grass although the white clover is
not quite so much in evidence unless
it is sown at seeding.
Grass is not the only crop benefited
by ashes They cannot be eqnaled for
cultivated strawberries and are in
valuable when sown on to the onion
bed in conjunction with the jroppings
from the hen roost. They are benef-
cial to corn, applied about the stalks
at the first hoeing. | do not need to
mention their value for grain, espe-
cially oats. Farmers that have raised
oats on burned ground realize the
value. More farmers are using ashes
than formerly. Carloads are shipped
into this section every year from Can
ada and nearly every village has an
ash merchant who picks up his mer-
chandise from house to house. The
lasting qualities of ashes are remark
able. One application will make
heavy crop of hay for years Their
lasting qualities are far ahead of ma

When Animals Thrive.

Both very young and very old ami

easy of digestion. Cut clover, mixed
with grain meal, is more digestibie
than grain only. A small quantity of
the clover is enough to prevent the
grain meal from clogging in the stom-

CRAzED BY LOVE AFFAIR
Posthumous Letter Explains Why
Gilbert Twigg Fired Into Crowd,
" Killing Six Men.
New York Sun Special Service.

Winfield, Kan, Aug. ia letter found
among the papers Of Gilbert Twigg, who
caused the death of six persons and the
injury of twenty others by emptying the
contents of double-barreled shotgun sew
eral times into the crowd that had gath
cred to hear a local concert, indicates that
he planned the massacre some days ago.
The letter Is undated. 1t appears that
Twigg was disappointed several years ago
in a love affair, and that he had brooded
over the affair to such an extent that he
was convinced the citizens of Winfield
were making light Of his troubles and that
he was being Stunned by his fellow be-
ings.
He wrote that he had harmed no man
and had never violated the laws Of his
country, and that the deed he was about
to perpetrate was for the purpose OF
"getting even with those who had
Stunned him and interested themselves
unnecessarily in his affairs. He expressed
regret that he did not settle his account
with Lieutenant Myron c. Bowdish and
Contract Surgeon O. w. Woods of the
United States army, against whom he ap-
pears to have had a grievance.
A large sum was found upon Tw1gg's

GOOD ADVICE.

Constipation clouds more lives than al
most any other disease. One Of the great
est orators once gave this most impor-
tant advice: Keep your bowels open and
your head COOL" Any sensible person

and cleansed is absolutely essential to
good health. Don't take pills and harsh
purgatives that only aggravate the
trouble. but try Chase's Constipation

JUSTICE BREWER
SUGGESTS A PLAN
He Would Abolish Appeals in Crimi-
nal Cases as a Remedy for
Lynch Law.
Believes Lynchings Are Brought
About, Usually, Thru Fear
of "The Laws Delay"

New York, Aug. 17.-Associate Justice
David J. Brewer Of the supreme court of
the United States has contributed to Les
lies Weekly an article on lynchtng, IN
which he says:
Our government recently forwarded to
Russia a petition in respect to alleged
atrocities committed upon the Jews. That
government, unwilling to have its Internal
affairs matter Of consideration by other
governments, declined to receive the pc
tition. If it had replied that 1t would put
a stop to all such atrocities when this
government put a stop to lynch1ngs, what
could we have said?
TT Is well to look the matter fairly in
the face. Many good men join in these
uprisings, Mortified at the atrocity of the
crime and eager for swift and summary
punishment. OF course, they violate ths
law themselves, but rely on the public
sentiment behind them for escape from
punishment Many of these lynchings are
accompanied by the horrible barbarities
of savage torture, and all that can be said
In pallia ton Is the atrocity Of the onenses
which led up to them. For time they
were confined largely to the south, but
that section no longer has monopoly.
What can be done to stay this cpl
demic of lynching? One thing is the es-,
Establishment of a greater confidence In the
summary and certain punishment OF the
criminal. Men are afraid of the laws de-
lays, and the uncertainty OF Its results.
Not that they doubt the integrity OF the
judges, but they know that the law
abounds with technical rules and that ap-
pellate courts will often reverse a judg-
ment Of conviction for disregard OF such
rules, Notwithstanding full belief In the
guilt of the accused. If all were certain
! that the guilty ones would be promptly
tried and punished the inducement to
| lynch would be largely taken away. ~
I'm an address before the. American Bar
! association at Detroit some years since, l
advocated doing away with appeals In
criminal cases. 1t did not get the favor
Of the association, but I still believe in
| its wisdom"

Spread Of Vacation Habit.

The habit Of taking an annual vacation
has become almost universal among those
who can afford to leave their work for a
time each year. For those who absolutely
cannot leave their work, the Saturday
half holiday thru the summer months
and the open air pleasures of Sundays
count for a great deal. To get rest and
recrea ton at this time Of year is a duty
which every worker owes to himself and
family. If you can't rest for a week or
two, get out Saturdays and Sundays and
then use golden grain belt beer to help
along. 1t quiets the nerves and puts one
in a restful condition at once. When you
are "too tired to Sleep this delicious tonic
Is what you need.
