California Pastor Has Faith In Efficacy
Of Advertising.
The pastor OF a Presbyterian church
in San Jose. Cal, believes in filling
his church on Sunday, even II he has
to advertise in order to accomplish
that result. Here is a notice he pub
lished last Monday: Found asleep
So you slept in church yesterday, did
you? Well, it was rather a drowsy
day. but if you had been at the Second
Presbyterian church you wouldn't
have dozed. The pastor preached two
earnest. enthusiastic eermons and the
music was alive and inspiring. Mrs.
Hillman Smith Gang that old favorite
The Holy City to tho enjoyment of
all, and the chorus choir rendered two
anthems. The congregation was near
ly as large as the church itself. An
old timer there looked around and re-
marked to bystander: Well. l de-
clare, thought l knew everyone who
came to this church, but the last few
weeks don't seem to know more than
half of them"

higher than those submitted by a scor.

Naturally he had to submit to ths
interviewers Of boys journals, and
success" papers, SO that his caree,

struggling youths.
How did you manage to work you,

respondent of the Draper reports q
case in which the latter course proved
the salvation Of a small party who
were walking over some moors.
On a hilltop they were overtaken by
a thick fog. and for seven hours were
wandering about trying to retrace
their steps. Their return Is attributed
to a lucky chance.
One Of the number is a young

business he dropped small handbills

There's one fellow l know who pos

the winter he makes, on an average,
$50 week. And yet just as soon as
the CIRCUS season opens he throws up

Why Is 1t that some up-to-date au-
thor does not see the possibilities in
writing readable story Of romance
or love and have for Its hero a bald
headed man? Lack OF hair in the
place where 1t really ought to grow
does not necessarily imply old age or
dotage.
The bald-headed man has fully as
much romance and sentiment in his
makeup as men who have curling
hair or other kinds In liberal quantity
The bald-headed man can love as
strongly, do as great deeds of valor
or be as chivalrous as he Of the
abundant hirsute adornment. Some,
times on the stage or in story we
have had a hero or lover whose hair
was tinged with gray, but the bald
hero has seemingly been passed by.
There is certainly no reason for this,
and 1t IS time the baldheads Of suita.
bic age get together and demand
recognition. Let there be an end to
their being exploited only through
the medium of the so-called funny
man.
Leaving the realm Of sentiment and
getting to the business point of view
To the author who does this thing
right and gets up a good, wholesome
story of the kind above referred to
success Is assured. Every bald-head-
ed man in the country would feel in
honor bound to push it along" and
the edition would run into the mil
lions. Let the baldheads get to-
gether and lift the bald-headed man
out OF the comic weekly slough of
despond and give him his proper
place in literature.

A Sick.RoOln Suggestion.

An excellent method Of lowering the

tains an invalid, or a specially sultry
hight makes sleep impossible. is to
soak the window-screen with cold
water to which has been added a
tablespoonful of ammonia. Apply the
water with a sponge, saturating the
netting thoroughly, and repeat the
operation in a little while IL it seems
necessary. In this way the air which
enters the room is cooled and purified

Many Hogs are Dying.

Fort Dodge, Ia. Nov. Web
sler county farmers are losing their
hogs by the hundred in an epi-
demic of Cholera which is prevalent
here. One farmer north Of the CITY
has in the last few weeks lost $50
head and there are as many as six
or eight other hog yards in his vi
cinity where the disease is prevalent.
The infection has been very eyi-
dent near Clara for number Of
weeks, and has probably killed more
hogs in that vicinity than in any
other this fall. One farmer near
that town, who is a breeder Of fancy
and thoroughbred hogs, has lost in
the past few weeks over 60 head of
his hest animals, valued from $75.
to 500 head. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the blooded hog is more
susceptible to the disease than any
other kind and succumbs quicker.
There are other farms near Clara
where the disease is taking off d
great many Of the best hogs. ltlis

Iowa lead, in poultrx,

The number Of poultry in Iowa in
1900 over three months old was
20,043,3 ,343 and they were worth
$6,535,464 This state leads all
others in the number Of poultry and
eggs. A comparison Of the values
with previous years can not be made
as the last census only gave values.
The value Of poultry products for
one year, when compared with that
of poultry itself for the same year
is sufficient to cause astonishment.
For instance, the value of poultry
on the farms of Iowa, as has been
stated, was $6,535, AGA for the year
1900 while the poultry products
and eggs sold off the farms amount
ed to $l9,5OS, ,526. OF the latter
sum $l0,Ol6,707 was for eggs and
$9, ,49l, ,Sl9 was for poultry. The
average price per dozen for eggs
was ten cents.
The value of all animal products
on the farms was $l69, ,S5S,9Sl,
poultry products forming ll.5 per
'cent Of this. The animals sold, with
a value of $ll3,O7S,523, and the
dairy products, with a value of $27,-
516,87O, were the only two animal
products worth more than the poul-
try and eggs. Wallace's Farmer.

The democratic judges Of Chicago
have refused to accept any more free
passes from the railroads. Now if
the democratic congressman will fol-
low the lead of Congressman Baker
and refuse free passes, a notorious
abuse will be in fair way of correc-
ton. 1t does not always follow that
because a government official accepts
favors from railroad he will do
their bidding when legislation
affecting their interests is up for
consideration, but the inference is
plain that he is expected to- do so.
This is true, because as soon as his
term Of Office expires and he joins
tho big army Of sxoficials. the rail-
roads stop rendering the passes. If
the democrats do not lead out in
the correction of this abuse and
make it an issue it will 90
uncorrected, for as q matter of
course no reform of this kind can
be expected to come from the repub-
licans. In the very nature Of the
case, a suggestion Of this sort made
toa republican official elicits the
disdainful query, What are we here
for, anyhow? Marion Sentinel.

Coming Epoch of Mediocrity.

According to Professor Karl Pear
son of University college, London,
England, is entering an epoch which
will be marked by great dearth Of
ability because for a good many
years the best sort Of people have
not been reproducing themselves,
while the children Of the relatively
worthless have been numerous. This
somewhat alarming prophecy was
made in the course of the Huxley
memorial address which he delivered
before the Anthropological Institute
of Great Britain, his theme being.
