PhOtOgraphing Animals.

Until the last year or so all OF the
pictures of fine live stock which have
been appearing in the farm papers
were made from drawing, and as the
artist tried to picture an ideal animal,
the illustration looked as much like
the real animal as a wooden Indian
looks like live Indian. The first
paper to run it's illustrations from
actual photographs was The Twentieth
Century Farmer, in fact even today it
is the only publication which has it's
own Photographic department and
which spends the money to send it's
photographers to the farms of the
best livestock breeders in the west.
They travel as we'll to the fairs, stock
shows and the best farms and orchards,
in fact everywhere, to get timely pic
lures to illustrate The Twentieth Cen
tury Farmer. If ye, have never seen
it, send your name to%The Twentieth
Century Farmer, 2055 F~rnam street,
Omaha, Neb., for a free sample copy,
or 25 cents for three-months' TRIAL
subscription. Price per year, 81.
1t contains each week from "a to 48
pages, and the illustrations are only
one of the many features which make
it the hand soonest and most interest

What 4. Said About Ears.

You never saw poet or a painter
with large, coarse ears that stand out
from the head like extended wings.
That kind Of an auricular appendage
betokens coarsehess Of mind a long,
narrow ear that lies fat to the head is
a sign Of pugnacity. Never trust a r.laa
with thin, waferlike ear. He was
born hypocrite, if not thief A very
small ear betokens trifiing mind. lack
ing decision. Ears set very high on
the head indicate narrowness OF mind
A large, well shaped ear that does not
spread itself to the breeze is Indicative
of generousness. Most of the world
compellers had large ears and well de-
veloped noses. Although there are SO
many millions Of people in tho world.t
no two pairs Of ears are alike. Each
has marked individuality.

Dogs Poisoned

The dog poisoner has been at
work this week and eight or nine
dogs, some of them valuable
bird dogs, have succumbed to
his work. Among those who
have lost their dogs are A. P.

S. M. Pasco, who loses his fine
bird dog, Will Mount, Dan
Conright, Darius Hocum and
Nels Nelson. 0. M. Pease dis
covered that his dog had been
poisoned and doped him with an
antidote in time to save his life.
Mr.. Pasco says that he will give
$50 for Information that will lead
to the conviction of the party
who poisoned his dog.
While there are dogs that
prove nuisance and annoyance
and ought to be killed, yet the
spreading of poison is an un-
justihable method of getting rid
of them, as the harmless and
valuable dogs are sure to get
the dose with the others.

Burglary

The clothing store of Schneider
q Nelson was entered by
burglars last Sunday night and
a half dozen valuable fur coats
and perhaps as many cloth over
coats were taken from the store.
The thieves neglected to look in
the cash box, where there
happened to be S65 in currency,
and this fortunately was left un-
touched. The burglars effected
an entrance by prying up one of
the windows in the rear of the
building, the marks of the crow
bar showing on the window
where it had been used and the
drawn window fastenings show
ing the pressure that had been
used. The rear door was un-
locked from the inside and the
goods taken out there. 1t is es-
timated that goods to the value
of $3.50 was taken by the thieves.

Hard Luck Tom

A few weeks ago a paper down
in Iowa mentioned series of
misfortunes that had crowded
in upon Tom Lennon, the actor,
who is well known in Milbank.
AS stated then the troubles start
ed when his wife ran away with
one of the actors of his company
this was not so bad but what it
might have been endured-but
the next blow came when his
treasurer ran away with the
cash, and Toms wardrobe also
disappeared. However, he had
overcome these difficulties, and
was getting in good shape again,
when locomotive struck him
oratleast his goods-at Pomeroy,
Ia, doing him about $500 worth
of damage, an account of which
is given by the local papers as
follows:
ga drayman was unloading the
company's baggage upon some trucks
when the westbound flyer came through
and struck the drayman's wagon,
which was on the main track. The
baggage was scattered along the right
of way for half mile. A gas tank
that was used with moving picture
machine exploded and tore large
hole in the station platform. All the
company's valuable picture films were
made useless.''
