The Galveston papers of last
Saturday report a duel in which
the two shootists emptied their pis-
tolls at each other, in a gambling
resort of that city, the contestants
being promptly arrested by Officer
Frank Thielan, a former Browns
vile boy, who broke open the lock
ed door and rushed into the room
before the smoke had cleared from
the revolvers. Other officers, of
course, followed and assisted THE
Ian, but he was especially COM
mended for his bravery in rushing
alone into the roomful of struggling
men armed with pistols. The chief
of police complimented Officer
Thielan for his good work, and said
she was not surprised, as he con-
sidered Thielan one Of the best men
on the force" Mr.. Thielan was born
and reared here, being the son of
Frank Thielan, the well known
baker. His old friends in Browns
vile are gratifed at his exhibition
of courage, and hope it may win pro-
motion for him.

CUTTING AND FEEDING CORN.
How n Farmer Can Obtain Full Bene-
fit of His Crop Explained by
an ASricuIturist.

No farmer receives the full benefit
from his crop unless he feeds both the
fodder and grain, writes Fred II. Suhre,
in Orange Judd Farmer The best plan
is to purchase corn binder and cut
the crop with it. My experience proves
hat it is cheaper than TO have il cut
by hand. One man with a machine can
cut six to eight acres a day, and two
men can shock It, Corn cut this way
and bound in bundles is easier handled,
whether hauled to a shredder or husked
by hand. have a feed cutter and
four-horse sweep power, with which
used to cut my fodder but found that
! can have this work done cheaper and
better with a combined husker and
shredder
My cattle waste less shredded fodder
than they do good clover hay. never
plan to fatten my cattle on grain, but
intend to feed enough to keep them in
good growing condition, so they will
fatten readily when turned on grass. |

wiIIie's bad Table Manners.

Williams table manners were noto-
riously bad-so bad tha' b9 was face
tiously accused of spelling the manners
of a pet coon chained in the back yard.
He gripped his fork as though afraid
it was going to get away from him,
and he used it like a hay-fork. Re-
proaches and entreaties were in vain.
His big sisters pleading: Please, Will
liam, don't eat like a pig" made no i'm
preston upon him. One day William
and his bosom friend, small neighbor,
dined alone. and William was heard
to say in tone of great satisfaction
as he planted both elbows on the table:
Say, Harry, they's nobody here but us.
Let's eat like hogs and enjoy ourselves" :"
Caroline Lockhart, in Lippincotts.

the virgin prairie is harnessed to its
work of feeding the world, we think Of
lonely women, like the one who stands
in front of that pitiful little sod house
in Nebraska, shown in the cut. Our
friends tell us that a sod house or dug
out is often very comfortable, but the
housekeeper has to renounce many
things that she thought necessities in
the tree-embowered home back east"
We should like to visit awhile with that
Nebraska housewife, who stands up
so courageously by her front door; we
have no doubt she has met many house
keeping problems, and bravely sur
mounted them, and we hope the rich sod
beneath her feet will produce among its
other crops a modern farmhouse that
will make up for all the privations she
may first pass through.-Rural New

WESTERN FARM LIFE.
II Is Not Always Pleasant nnd the
Wives of Pioneers Are the
Chief Sufferers.

Many farmers wives in the east hard
ly realize the comfort that surrounds
them, even in an old-fashioned house
with few modern Conveniences, as COM
pared with the privations encountered
on some of the virgin prairies. 1t is
true that communities build up rapidly
in the great west, and the sod house Of
one generation soon gives way to the
convenient modern dwelling of the next, +,
but life is hard for every pioneer, and
some of its greatest trials fall to the
women. witty woman once observed
that her sympathies were not so much
with the Pilgrim Fathers as with their
wives; they endured all the hardships
that the Pilgrim Fathers did, and the
Pilgrim Fathers, too! in like manner,
when we read of the courageous home
steaders who fight drought and cloud
bursts, grasshoppers and billiards, until

very like geese.
And they build themselves curious
nests OF mud and earth scraped together
so as to form a small hillock with
hole on the top. Sometimes the hillock
is as much as % or "a inches high.
In the countries where they are found
they 90 about in focks of 300 or 400 to-
gether. When they are feeding senti-
mel flamingoes stand at each end of
the flock to give notice of any approach
ing danger, These sentinels don't at
tempt to eat till the others have fin
ished, but stand with necks erect and
heads constantly turning, always keep
ing a sharp lookout.
When flying they form themselves
into bands, each band evidently being
under the command of leader, and in
spite of their long necks and legs they
are wonderfully graceful.
Like lots of other long-legged birds,
flamingoes love to stand on one leg and
tuck the other up out of sight.-Phila-
delphia Globe.

The popular idea that feathers are

under which delusion many people
scary about lightning climb under feath-

in a very remarkable manner during

Flamingoes in full plumage are most

are white. A full-grown bird is often

When they are flying they stretch
