VAGERIES OF WATCHES.
Vital Energies of Timepieces Lik
Those of lunar Beings at Low
Ebb at Night.

"You know that the vital energies
are at lower ebb at night than in the
daytime" said an old matchmaker.
Would you believe that some watches
especially the cheaper ones-are sim
ilarly affected?
You know q good matchmaker al
ways wants several days in which to
regulate a timepiece. That is because
the only way TO regulate it properly
is to compare it with a chronometer at
the anne hour every day. Otherwise
the variations in the speed of the
watch will battle his efforts.
The man to whom l was apprel-
ticed told me this, and l thought the
Idea absurd. We were working late
one night. and he called my attention
to a lot of watches We had regulated
and ready to deliver. 1t was near mid
night and every watch was slow.
The better watches had Jagged be-
hind some seconds. The cheaper
watches were a minute or more out of
the way. Next morning every n OF
the lot was exactly right.
THE fact is, You can regulate a
watch TO make exactly "a hours a day
but you can't persuade it Il make JUS
60 minutes in each of the "a hours. WI.
this is no one can tell"

CATTLE STEALING.
Ingenious Rustlers n Source of Inn
mcnsc roubI to Cattlcmen of
West and Southwest.

One source of immense trouble to the
cattlemen has been the calf thief, says
Leslie's Monthly. Many a large outfit"
has gone out of business on account of
the "rustler." Where Gov herders have
to ride the range for so or rs miles they
are likely to be forestalled In branding
q calf by some vigilant rustler whose
little mountain ranch is near the usual
grazing place of a bunch Of cattle. Or
very possibly the puncher for the big
sc ranch has caught and branded
the calf with its proper mark; and when
man. months later he rides on g yearling
branded BOB he has no means Of know
irg that the owner of the latter brand has
deity touched up the sc with a running
iron by the artistic addition Of two
strokes and an added letter. l may be
stated parenthetically in passing that
more than one large outfit" of to-day
got it's start entirely from "rustled"cat-
tle. In the more arid southwest rustling
is not so common, because most of the
water is pumped, and cattle get in the
habit of coming home often to drink and
can be watched more closely; but even
there it Is a factor Of no slight import
ance.

ckLT AS A FERTILIZER.
Has Curious Quality of Promoting
Growth OF Some plants aad HIM
derinE Others.

The action of salt, or chloride of
sodium, as a fertilizer is sometimes very
peculiar by reason OF its apparently in
consistent influences. 1t has the effect
Of checking vegetable growth and at
the same time increasing the yield OF
wheat and other crops 10 which it is
suited, says the Southern Farm Maya
zine.
Mangel wurZel, beans, cabbages and
onions flourish with liberal supplies o.
salt. 1t is also highly advantageous to
he growth of asparagus. 1t is found
N every cultivated plant, and. there
fore, may be considered. in small guam
tiles. as generally desirable for all
,rCDs. Lands which are near tie sea
coast are always literally supplied with
his ingredient by winds, which carry il
rom the sea-.
According TO Henry Tanner, of the
loyal agricultural college in England,
one OF the most important influences that
salt exerts en- vegetation is due to its
noXerL tns ehecG- r4sat Tr66ssr5+5
arising from the action of the chlorine
which it contains. This is a very i'm
portant factor in agriculture, and when
lully understood will be more generally
utilized. IN the case. for instance, of a
wheat crop upon land that has been too
lighly MANFRED, the tendency is to pro-
duce straw rather than grain, the grassy
character Of the plant being unduly en-
couraged.

strobe to the statehouse, where for two
terms She was governor.
From the. governorship, Tillman went
to the United States senate, where he
has had a stormy career and is now serv-
ing his second term. Sena tor Tillman
comes from one of the oldest and most
distinguished South Carolina families,
though his political life has been one of
leadership of the plain people. Except
for his strong belief that the negro is an
inferior race, Tillman is a great believer
in the rule of the people: he is democrat
of democrats.
The race question, in consequence of
President Roosevelt's course has come to
the front lately with amazing rapidity.
The papers are full of it, 1t has crept
into the magazines and it is talked from
the pulpit Senator Tillman frankly
comes to Minneapolis to state the southern
view of the question, the view that the
race question must be settled on line OF
recognition Of the superiority of the white
race. 1t is a point of view that can only
be understood by listening to an exposi-
tion of it by a southerner.

Of the man. His superb courage has won

Benjamin r. Tillman's career has been
one long combat land it is no wonder that
he has become a man more remarkable for
the emphasis than the courtesy of his
statements. Since the war ruined the
fortunes of his family and reduced him to
want, Senator Tillman has had a fight on
his hands. First he fought with nature
for living on the South Carolina farm.
Then this one-eyed Cromwell of the pal
metto state came out of his rural retire
ment and fought life and death strug-

of the state. It was a political revolt
that he led, and it was successful. Be-

THE GOLDEN RULE

The Subject of Talk by "Golden Rule
Jones at Lowry Hill Consre-

Mayor Samuel M. Jones of Toledo oc-
cupied the pulpit of the Lowry Hill Com
gregational church yesterday morning.
He received undivided attention and his
effort was generally commended. He sg-
piled the old and much abused command.
Whatsoever ye would that men should
do unto you. de ye even SO TO them to
daily life. He found that this injunction
was not obeycd. Business could not be
done on the basis Of the golden rule under
modern conditions. Minnesota was criti-
ciZed for retaining capital punishment on
the penal code, for the golden rule teaches
that man should love his enemies.
