The Way Into Society.

Be queer, says Alfred Henry Lewis
IN E~Verybody's Magazine for October.
Let the social climber take notice: The
password to take n within the social
gates Is 9TH Eccentric to Excess!'
80 that In some one thing one proves
himself a perennial eXaggeration, one
is socially safe. The story of the ages
displays this. Caesar makes himself
the fashion by the eccentricity of his
extravaganza. He pairs 700 gladiators
IN combat to be the basis of a single
show; he owes IS, 900, 900 before he is
Il. Wherefore Caesar was in society.
Lucullus, given money and id1eness
after his wars, digs lakes, builds is
lands, hangs gardens in the air, makes
pies from h tongues of hooking
birds. and dimes with himself at q cost
OF $4,000. Wherefore Lucullus was in
society.
Come to the England of a century
and a half ago: Buck Whal!ey walks
from Calais to Jerusalem in long coat.
b~ucksk1ns, and top-boots; and thereby
walks into society. Another aspirant
enters a drawing-room on his hands
another sets off ~lre-crackers in the
midst of a duchess dinner, another
keeps a tart forever on his mantel, ar
other has a snuff-box for each day of
the year, another puts out his candle
by the sensible %eXpedient of stufhing it
under the pillow, and each of these. nv
virtue of his peculiar grace is seized
on by society. One may be true or
false, or solvent or bankrupt, or good
or pad, or vulgar or refined, or ignorant
or learned; If he but clings to his &C.
cehtrlclty, society will cling to him.

Many Times.
Tree PLANTING on Pixies Psak.

Pueblo Chieftain: A very interesting ex
pertinent and one of great Importance to
the people of the west will be conducted
this summer on Pixies peak. A party
from the United States forestry bureau
under charge of one of the government ex-
perts will plant a large number Of trees
on the slopes Of Pixies peak and the neigh
boring mountains. The trees thus planted
Will not only be of great benefit to the
Pixies peak region, but the experiment
will be most valuable in solving general
problems relating to forestry in the west.
, There are several important reasons why
the selection Of the Pixies peak group for
this experiment Is a wise one. 1t Is q de-
tached mountain mass separated from the
main ranges. 1t Is included within the
limits CT a forest reserve and therefore
subject to government control. It Is
drained by few streams and the compare
tive measurements of its water discharge
are therefore the more easily made. 1t Is
more easily accessible In all parts han
other high mountain regions of the state.
It is one that presents the most Important
problems of western forestry in a compact
and definite form. And finally there Is
possibly no other high water shed in the
state where the Increase of water supply
will be of more direct financial benefit
than in this one. In the opinion of those
who nave examined the Pixies peak region
the forest area was formerly much more
extensive than it now is, n while in
some instances. the removal Of the trees
has resulted in conditions unfavorable for
forest growth, such as the carrying WI
of soil leaving only the bare rocks, yet
there remains plenty Of opportunity for re-
f~orestation.

FEEDING Protein to Stock.

In the item headed Buying Cheap
Stock Feed Is is shown how mistakes are
made in buying the manufactured stock
foods at low prices. 1t Is desired here to
point out another phase of the feeding
question which is important to those who
feed largely of corn during the winter.
It 1t is conceded that protein is necessary
for the best results from the cows every
farmer knows that he cannot obtain this
In proper quantities from corn, but he
feeds corn because he raises 1t and be-
cause Its market prices Is usually SO low
that he does not feel he can afford to ex-
change 1t for feeds containing the requi-
site amounte Of protein. This year the
situation is somewhat altered; the price
of corn Is higher and likely to be still
higher SO that It is good business to dis
pose of a portion of the corn and invest
the proceeds in concentrated foods rich in
protein. But be careful and buy such as
contain digestible protein or the bargain
will not be a good one. One OF tho best
Of the concentrated feeds largely digesti-
BILE Is gluten feed; gluten meal and cot
ton seed meal are also good.

canyons along the way and to have to
carry the remains of the rest of the boys
down to Colorado City with us. We were
forty-fyo minutes making the run to
Colorado City. Our surprise at finding
that there had been no one hurt in the
wreck that We found there was equaled
only by our surprise at being alive our
selves.
An investigation was held last Tuesday
at the office of the superintendent at Colo
RADIO City. Those present were the crew
Of the wrecked train. the superintendent
OF the motive power, the travelling en-
gtneer, tho airbrake expert and the gen
eral superintendent. The main reason for
the cause of the wreck brought out in the
investigation was that the train was
composed of SO many foreign cars with
low braking power. An explanation Of
this Is that the braking power of the for
eign cars is only from 40 to 90 per cent.
and that Of the home cars Is rom 70 to
30 per cent, the difference being due to
the fact that foreign cars, as a rule, have
comparatively level roadbeds to travel
over, while the home cars are adapted to
the steep and curving tracks Of the noun
tain sides. When the foreign cars are
placed on the mountain roads and loaded
heavily, and the airbrakes being about 40
per cent. OF the weight of the cars, they
cannot be applied with nearly the force
Of those of the mountain cars, whose
braklng power is about 50 per cent. OF the
weight.
This train was composed mostly of for
cign cars. We have descended the same
mountains over the Same roadbed with
just as many cars as we had Monday
morning, but never with SO many foreign
cars. The road had been very careful not
to have too many cars Of low braking'
power on the Same train, but they will
be much more careful now that the acct
dent has occurred"

BOILER Exploded
At Lumberton Yesterday, Instantly
Killing One Fireman and
SCaIding Another.

Lumberton, June 23.-About 6 80
O'Clock yesterday morning the town Of
Lumberton was startled by a terrific
report in the direction of the mills.
1t was soon known everywhere that
one of the hoilers belonging to the
planning mill of the r. W. Hinton Co.
had exploded, instantly killing one
of the negro firemen and seriously
scalding the other one.
There were three boilers in a rows
the middle one exploding, overturnig
the large one on the right hand and
carrying the other one into the air.
For several minutes after the ac-
cident all was confusion until it was
known that the loss of life was so
small. That so many escaped unhurt
seems nothing short of marvellous.
Work has already been begun clear
ing away the debris for the purpose
of rebuilding. The property loss is
rather heavy.

An ediotsr' small son, who lives in
a nearby city, recently said to his
mother: Mamma, I think the man
who takes away our ashes is the best
man [ know. / think he is even better
than papa. His mother expressed
surprise and asked why he thought
the ashman better than his father.
"Well, " said the boy, che came with
a poor mule the other day and after
he had filled the wagon he told the
mule to get mp. But the mule was
tired and would not go. The man
whipped the mule hard, but even
then it would not go. Then that
good man sat down on the grass and
told the poor mule all about Jesus
and the bad place.

A SENSATIONAL STORY.
Warden Henry investigating Charge
That the Killing OF Convict
Was Result CT Plot.
Special to the Daily Progress

Special to the Daily Progress
Jackson, June 24.-WaTden J. j.
Henry, of the penitentiary, is making
an investigation of the sensational
story told by young white man
named Neil Mcleod to the effect that
the killing of Dan Crockett, a convict.
by Horace Wallace, a trusty convict,
which occurred on the Rankin farm OF.
June 3, was the result of a plot
among the guards and cOnvicts, and
that it was done because Crockett had
been telling members of the board Of
control that the convicts were being
horribly treated. The warden denies
that Mcleod has been a guard at the
farm and says that the payroll fails
to show his name. He has not been
seen since making his statement of the
affair, to which he claimed to be All
eye witness.
