Local Members of the Order Add Portrait
of Exalted Ruler to Their Gallery.
There was happy little meeting of
the Kenosha Lodge $50 B. P. O. E. at
the lodge rooms Tuesday evening,
which will long be rememb ered among
the members of the order who were
privileged to be present. The usual
business of the meeting was carried
out, after which the lodge was present
ed with splendid portrait of Exalted
Ruler John M. Kehlor, who was one of
the main spirits in the organization of
the lodge, and who has served for a
year as the leading officer.
The presentation of the picture was
made by ex-Mayor O. M. Petit, and in
a few words he spoke of the great work
Mr.. Keh1or had done for the lodge and
the high appreciation of this work felt
among the members of the order in
Kenosha and the surrounding cities.
AS souvenir of this feeling of the
members Mr.. Petit stated that it was
the unanimous desire of the lodge that
picture of Mr.. Kehlor be hung on the
walls of the lodge room.
The presentation was a complete
surprise to Mr.. Kehlor, and he was
visibly moved. He managed, how
ever, to say few words thanking the
mem bers for their gift, and assured
them that he had been highly honored
by the lodge.
After the presentation social hour
was enjoyed, the evening being spent
with cards and music. Refreshments
were served at eleven O'Clock.

EVA HALLIDAY AND HER TEACHER.

10 illustrate, the blowing Of the breath
to mean that she was about to take q
railway trip and this was but one Of
several unique methods adopted to
reach her mind.
The child's education began by the
use Of the manual alphabet generally.
but particularly by any means by
which it was thought best to convey
the meaning Of words and things.
From the first the child seemed to be
strangely drawn to her teacher, who
would take her delicate hand in her
own. and by the arrangement of the
fingers. sundry patting and clapping.
signs were spelled into her mind.
A box Of objects would be spread
out on the table. The blind girl would
take up one of them and be allowed to
feel it over and over again.' Then Miss
lloyd would spell the name Of the OBJ
joct into the hand Of her charge. Sew
eral other objects would be similarly
treated. when The girl would commence
over again and spell back the signs,
showing that she understood what she
held in her hand.
BY artiticeS of her own. Miss Boyd
was able to impart the rudiments Of
nm education. For instance tl!e child
was taught to understand that the
touch of the hand on the cheek sig

arm Of the pupil and pulling it for

in this respect.
Practically all Of this work was ac-

that she remained in the institution
Speaking OF thu progress OF her pupil,
Miss Boyd said:
81 can never forget the beautiful
change that came to her c0untenance
when she was freed from her prison
At first her thoughts. as reflected in
her face. were Of an indescrihably sad
and pathetic nature. but from the day
that I taught her her first word she
began to look out on the world with
an affection, an intelligence, and even
a keen sense Of Joy that did ones heart
good to see. And it Is this and other
things that convince me that Eva has
O. mission TO fulfill in this world. In
way that I cannot find words to de-
scribe she awakens all that is sweet
and noble in human nature. and gives
to those who come in contact with ner
a strength and courage productive Of
much good, especially in overcoming
obstacles and difficulties. Her happi-
ness never leaves her. I believe she
is the happiest child that I have ever
seen. 1t is a real pleasure to see her
day after day enter my schoo;-room
and feel around until she finds her
teacher, and then. throwing her hands
about my neck, cling to ME in the way
that must bring tears to the eyes"
An element in the better fortune OF
the girl is that she has enlisted the

for the Deaf, continues tc
interest all who have heard Of the
ati1ictiun Of the girl and the methods
taken to teach her bright MIND and td
lift her out Of darkness into light.
For the remarkable success In very
short time. the pupil is indebted to her
patient and efficient teacher, Miss Hy'
patia Boyd, herself totally deaf and
partly bereft Of speech
In four months the child was taught
125 words and sentences. To-day she
is not only able to read and write
Braille. but she clcverly operates an
ordinary typewriting machine.
Miss Halliday was born with none
of the aftiictions from which she Is
seeking and finding relief. They were
the result OF an attack Of catarrhal
fever when she was but six years OF
age. She is now about sixteen. The
girls parents lived In Wausan, Wis,
and were without means with which
to undertake her education. Her con-
dition was brought TO the notice Of
the superintendent of the school for
the deaf, the province of which does
not include the teaching Of the blind.
but the sympathy Of Superintendent
Cary was aroused to such an extent
that he made a personal appeal to the
Board and was allowed to receive her
at the school.
Teacher and pupil were thrown to-
gether by accident. and this is one of
the interesting features Of the story.
Some time previous Miss Hyputia
Boyd. OF Milwaukee, who was deaf
and had only limited power Of speech,
applied to the institution for permission
to enter for the purpose of learning
how to teach the deaf and dumb. Ii
is not the function Of the school to
impart this class Of education, but
finally an arrangement was made by
which she was allowed to do rs she
wished
Being endowed with a wonderful
amount of energy, she entered enthu
siastically on the course that wqs espc'
eially prepared for her. Soon after
this. the sud condition OF the Wausau
girl was brought to the notice Of the
superintendent. and he at once decided
to take her in and place her in the
care of Miss Boyd.
This was in February. 1902 At the
time that she entered the institution
the girl knew only eight signs that

Poultry Hints.

uished for them to dust themselves.
If fowls have a clean place in which
to lay, their eggs will not need to be
washed before sending them to market
or setting them.
1t is regarded by some as an expen-
sive experiment to grow thoroughbred
chickens from eggs. They advise buy
ing matured stock.
Ducks and geese cat Il great deaf OF
green food, when they can get it, Their
young should have something green
after they are two weeks old.
The first ten days care will usually
decide the fate of a young chicken.
They should not get wet or cold. Keep
In the coop until after the sun is up.
No one can complain Of the prices Of
eggs or poultry this season, except the
cousunlers. 1t may be that more con-
sumers are eating poultry and eggs
owing to the high price Of meats.
Wornout milk pans make nice nests
for hens. or If you want to buy them
they will not cost more than good
box. They can be heated or scalded
and thoroughly cleansed Of vermin.
Quick returns is one Of the advan'
tages IL handling poultry. For a be-
sinner it Is better than berries or
fruit. Not season passes without
some return. A flrst-class hen will fur.
nish 100 eggs per year for use or Tor

Where fowls have free range, as on
farm, and there is d flock OF nliscel'

Corn-Breeding.

Corn breeding Is q modification Of
livestock breeding, and follows the
same general laws and principles. 1t
is the application Of principles Of plant
and animal breeding to the corn plant.
The per cent Of sugar in the sugar beet
has been increased from three per cent.
to sixteen per cent. The ordinary beet
was improved by seed selection, so that
an enormous industry has been built
up and new source Of sugar given
to the world. This has been done
with a plant which seeds once in two
years. Corn produces crop every
year, single seed producing return
Of over thousand fold. From this
great number Of offspring, varying in
size, shape, color and composition, a Sc.
lection can be made which will develop
any feature of the seed or plant. BY
continued selection, these valuable At
tributes can be fixed in the character
istics of the plant, and the usefulness
and Importance Of the crop increased.
10 illustrate the point: We have been
able, by selecting ears with long
shanks, to increase the length OF the
shank nearly two feet in FIVE years Sc
lection. BY selecting ears with tall
stalks, we have been able to increase
the height of the stalk almost three
feet In five years. BY selecting ears
from plants having wide leaves, we
have been able to increase the average
width Of the leaf, and by selecting ears
from stalks having narrow leaves, we
have been able to decrease the width
OF the Ieaf.-Cosmopolitan.

Toper's Moral Responsibility.

"Why do men drink" is an old aucs>
ton upon which some savants are seeking
to throw new light. The London Society
for the Study Of Inebriety has been re-
Gently discussing the problem, though with
no very harmonious results Of opinion,
DR.. Norman Kerr, for one. declares that
little progress will be made i'll the way Of
decreasing drunkenness. until it is recog.
moral weakness. 1t is because this fact has
not been realized, he says, that no result
of ali labors in the line of legislation have
accrued. Evidently DR.. Kerr begs the
question to this statement. Legislation
cannot do everything to offset the rum.
evil. but that it has where invoked accom-
p'ished. something in the way of the
diminution Of this social curse. is evident
to every candid observer. If the question
be asked. "Why dosmen drink" of course
the readiest reply is. because they want
to-" Bnt why should they wish to? As
the result Of an appetite, all would agree,
and ut the dictation Of depraved and dis
eased appetite, must be admitted, as DR..
Kerr contends. Rum ia an intruder in the
physical frame. and induces an abnormal
state. both morally and physically. But
because the topper becomes at length a
walking incarnation Of disease, we are not
warranted in ezcusing him from moral re-
sponsibility for the taking the "frst glass"
and all of the succeeding potions that
proved so madiA.,ing and destructive.
Still, there is a. pathology of drink. which
may we'll be studied in connection with

! AGRICULTURAL.
Cultivating Sour Cherries.

I began planting sour cherries six
teen years ago. says writer in Coun-
try Life In America, starting with 500
trees each Of Montmorendy and Eng
Ish Morello, but after the tfirst two
or three crops got the "feyer'' and
doubled my planting. so that now 1
have 2O00 trees. Ten or twelve years
ago tie English Morello was the favor
ite on account Of its large size and rich,
dark color, but it is too acid for most
palates. and the demand has steadily
increased In late years for the light
red or Montmorency.
My first paintings were fifteen feet
apart each way, but it soon became
apparent that the trees were too close
together. They grew too high and thus
the cost and difficulty of picking was
increased. The lower limbs ceased to
bear, the fruit each year being higher
up. Later paintings were set eighteen
feet apart each way, with tie result
that the trees branch wider and a
larger proportion Of the fruit can be
picked by standing on the ground or
on low steps. This is especially true
of the Morello on account of the weep
ing habit Of the tree, the long. willowy
limbs hanging loaded with fruit to tue
ground.
Individual Montmorency trees have
been known to yield $50 pounds, and u
block of 1000 trees yielded an average
of forty pounds per tree, but one-half
Of this amount would ordinarily be
counted Il good crop.
