A Contented Prisoner.

The Piusian prison authorities are
perplexed what to do with man ram
ed Michael Keller, whose sentence to
death, passed upon him in 1853, was
commuted to penal servitude for life.
The prisoner is now an old man Of 80,
and, although he has been offered his
liberty on more than one occasion, re-
fuses to leave the prison. He declares
that, after being in prison all these
years for crime Of which be is in
nocent, he does not wish to be released
in his old age to be miserable. The
mans relatives have been traced an
are willing to look after him, but he
Will have nothing to do with them

Not a Clear Title.

The word "furlough" occurred in a
reading lesson of a primary grade in
one Of the public schools, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The teacher
asked if any boy or girl knew the
meaning of the word.
One small hand was raised and
shaken vigorously in the eagerress Of
the urchin TO display his knowledge.
When he received permission to speak
he rose and with the greatest assur-
ance said:
"Furlough means a mule
Not whit disturbed at the teach
cr's ooh, no, it DOESN'T" the small
boy confidently answered
II have the book at home that says
So" Then the teacher told him he
might bring the book to school and
show it to her.
The next morning he came armed
with the book, and triumphantly
showed her the picture of an Ameri-
can soldier astride a mule, under
which was printed, "Going home on
his furlough."

Her Husbands Relatives.

One of the most difficult questions
for young wife to decide is how she
shall treat her new relatives.
Sometimes, Of course, her husband s
and her own family have been friends
for years, and she at once slips into
her place as the daughter of the house,
only changing dear friends into still
dearer relatives; but this is not al.
ways the case.
More often she meets her husband
far away from his family, and is only
introduced after her marriage.
A bride should try to remember that
every thing depends on first impress :
sions and should, therefore, b. careful
to create favorable one at once.
She must recolleot that, whatever
their failings and peouliarities are,
they are her husbands people, and, as
such, to be treated with respect, even if
she cannot feel for them the affection
she is desirous to give. !
Let her try to love them as her own
people, but if this is impossible. she
can at least treat them with courtesy.
As q rules however, the young wife
will find her new relations only too
ready to love her for her husbands g
sake at first, eventually for her own,
and she ought to have no trouble about
returning it.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. II not only feeds
the blood:making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

Fast Racing.

The fast time made by Lou Dillon,
the famous trotter, with the worlds
record, shows what training and trot-
ting ancestry will do for horsefesh.
Forty years ago the 2:40 gait was con-
sidered marvel-never to be excelled
by horse muscle, but the time has
been picked off year after year-some-
times by whole minutes, but oftener
by half and quarter minutes until Lou
Dillon made mile in one hundred
and twenty seconds a few days ago.
This would seem to be the limit, and
we would set it down that it could
never be beaten by horse flesh, if those
of US who marveled at 2:40 speed had
not been 80 badly mistaken as to the
limit heretofore.
To travel mile in two minutes is
like flying on eagles wing in mid-air
perhaps the eagle could not make
such trip under the best of circum-
stances. A gale Of wind that travels
at the speed of thirty miles an hour is
terrific display of NATURES force and
ferocity, but the game little mare ran
ct the rate Of thirty miles an hour,
propelled only by her four legs and
the trainers skill in urging her on.
1t was sight worth looking at to
those who are fond Of horses and ap-
preciate their wonderful intelligence
and responsiveness to kind treatment.
Of course the gambling, betting, pool
selling and tricks great and small, are
not to be admired, but the game little
mare has no discount on her achieve
ment, 80 far as she is concerned. A
mile in two minutes is quite fast trav-
cling on railroad train for general
safety, but mile in two minutes be-
hind horse muscle is the wonder of the
age.-Atlanta Journal.

Cuban Farming.

"For an energetic and enterprising
mau who is limited to small capital,
the island of Qua holds forth induce
meGts unrivalled anywhere in the
States" said H. f. Kimbrough to
representative Of the Washington Post
MIR. kimbrough is one of the largest
vegetable growers in Cuba, and is Wis
iting the Eastern cities of the United
States to secure special transportation
rates and markets for his large ship
ments. GA young man with capital
of $3.50 can lease ten acres, plant them
in tomatoes, complete crop in six
months and realize net profit of from
$3.50 to $3.50. an acre. We have
transportation rate from .Guines,
where my interests are centered, that
is 20 cents crate lower on tomatoes
shipped to New York and Chicago
than from any point in Florida, and
this iIolraes the payment Of duty.
There IS good money in sugar cane
and tobacco, end when the market
holds high for few weeks, as it did
year before last, there is large profit
in growing egg plants and sweet pep
pers.
"Land can be leased from the Sr.o-
ish and Cuban landowners at q ye ,
rental Of 1926 caballerias, which is
composed Of about 33 1.3 acres. This
land can be sub-let to negroes for sug-
ar raising at rate of $500 caballer-
las, or for one-third Of the yield Of
sugar delivered in the sugar house,
sacked for shipping. The land leases
from the owners are drawn up by q
notary public, who is under bond Of
about $4,000. If there is any flaw in
the title he is responsible and in case
Of dispossession because of defective
title damages in full may be obtained.
The penalty for not paying damage
claim that is allowed by law consists
of term of imprisonment in the car
Gel, or penitentiary. The number of
worthless and unprinoipled men who
come down from the States have
caused the Cubans to distrust Ameri-
cans.
There is big field for the right
sort of young Americans, even with
ou9 capital. l remember young chap
named Roberts, who landed in Havana
winter before last with $3.50 in his
pocket. He managed to secure piece
of ground and planted heavily in egg
plants. He had run of sixty days
on this commodity and during the
time the run lasted received more
than 81 crate net. Another man
went 60 Guines with IS capital. He
arrived there December l, 1900, rent
ed ten acres, and left in June follows

session.

Hay WILL Be HIGHER
Wet Weather Makes the
Crop Poor and
Scarce.

Fertile Journal: From reports re-
ceived this week we learn that the
usually large crop of hay which is
generally cut in the vicinity of Sank
Centre, Little Falls and St. Cloud has
been almost a total failure this sea-
son, owing TO the heavy rainfall
there during Jun and July. The hay
markets of St. Paul. Minneapolis,
Duluth and Superior, as we'll as the
logging and mining interests of North
ern Minnesota, usually look to the
above mentioned territory for their
supply of baled hay. This season
they will ..be compelled to look else
where. as those who have been &C
customed to cut 100 to 200 tons of hay,
baling it and sending it to market,
will this year have to resort largely
to straw for feeding their own and To-
cal stock. This condition should awak-
en- an interest among our merchants
to encourage their farmer customers
to bale their surplus hay and haul it
to town during the winter and to
obtain prices ranging from So. 90 to
So. 10 per ton.
