Abdul Hamid would do us a great ia
vor by calling in all the pictures of the
dapper young man in military uniform
taken twenty years ago, and sending out
the latest photographs of the little old
shriveled-up, terror haunted Sultan as
he LOOKS today.
The old saw, "How have the mighty
fallen" is aptly illustrated by the coal
barge Dessbrough now discharging a
cargo at Providence, r. 1. This humble
looking craft was once the private yacht
of the khedive of Egypt, and she trans
ported the famous obelisk at Central
park, New York city, from Egypt to this
country.

BASKET BALL LEAGUE PLANS.
-FOUR ORGANIZATIONS Have Applied for
MISUNDERSTANDING of " M. c. A.
Team Not Determined.

Team Not Determined
The committee appointed last week to
undertake to organize a basket ball league
in Brattleboro met in the Y. NJ. c. A.
rooms Monday evening and reported that
application had been received from the
High school, Catholic Union. Printers and
Company | teams for membership in the
league. The committee wished to have
the Y. NJ. c. A. team put themselves I'M
der the control of the committee, but not
as members of the league, and to that
end a conference was held between the
committee and the directors of the Y. NJ
c. a. Some time ago the directors voted
to stand behind the Y. NJ. c. A. team,
and the question with them was whether
1t would be advisable to give up their
management of the team and put it under
the control of the committee. In the
event that the committee took charge
of the team none of the receipts of games
would revert to tine association, but
would go into a permanent athletic fund.
On the other hand it was pointed out that
if the team was run under a separate
management from the rest of the league
from the experience of the past, and with
out the Y. NJ. C. a. team the league prob
ably would not much more than pay eX-
penses; in other words. only by the com
bined efforts of all the teams could a
substantial profit be realized. The mat
ter was laid on the table pending further
consideration on the part of the Y. NJ.
c. A. directors.

TALLY as stated Bruce's statement on
which he is under Indictment was given
in connection with suit brought by Mrs
McC!oskcy to recover money from an in
surance company. Mrs. McCloskey and
two other persons became surety for
Bruce's bail. but Mrs. McCloskey was
held responsible for the whole amount and
her property was attached when it was
found that Bruce had skipped. During
the past summer Bruce worked for
Everett Corbctt in Wilmington. to whom
he said he had Jumped" bail and prob
ably would bc sought for To Or. Bowen

that he was not taken by surprise. Mrs
McCloskcy was accompanied to Chester

stable T. II Thayer. Mrs McCloskey
was much disturbed for fear that Bruce
would run. and it seems that her fears
were well grounded as Bruce told Deputy
sheriff Mcclure that II he had eight feet
start he never would have been caught.
He had no chance to run. as he was at
work in a stable when confronted by Mr..
Mcclure.

READY TO SHIP.
Imperial Vein Is Rapidly Gain
ing Strength.

Captain Paul, superintendent Of the
Imperial, was here this week. He
states that he has thirty tons Of high
grade ore sorted and sacked awaiting
shipment. The matter of shipping
is held back on account of bad roads.
The ore is of two grades either Of
which affords good margin Of
profit.
The vein Is now being drifted
upon from the shaft at the fifty foot
level and Captain Paul states that 1t
Is five feet in width and gaining
strength with distance. The sinking
plant Ia doing good work, the fifty.
gallon pump with an expenditure Of
less than two horse power Is taking
care Of the water In good shape. In
the opinion Of Captain Paul, and his
experience seems to establish his
theory, there Ia no occasion for q
pumping plant Of greater capacity,
Notwithstanding the fact that experts
reported adversely on plant Of such
small capacity before its installation.

man passed through my stable the
other day and looking at the cattle feed
ing there, he said, Il like to see a row of
nice cattle. They look good to me-"
That is the true farmer spirit. You
may put in your whole life farming and
in the end have lost all, or nearly all,
the happiness simply because you do not
love your calling. To succeed one must
have more than a pecuniary motive in
view. He should be able to enter into
sympathy with his COWS, sheep and
horses. He must see in them something
more than dumb beasts, to be treated as
shabbily as possible and finally turned
away for song.
The man who can go through a series
of years on farm and not be a better
man, kinder of heart and more sympa-
thetic to all the helpless creatures about
him is hard-hearted man. The sick
nesses Of his COWS and sheep, the all
ments of his horses and other form ami
mails, are all well calculated to awaken
in him kindly feeling which will lead
him to do all in his power to alleviate
their sufferings. Some men are so bru-
tai with their stock that they fail to de-
rive the profit they should from them.
They are themselves made harsh and
cruel by their treatment of their cattle.
1t is the same way with other farm
work. To get the most out of it, one
ought to love the everyday things
which come in the line of his duty I
know men who do not even cut down a
tree, especially a live one, without a
sense of personal loss. These are the
true farmers. Farming is more than
plowing. sowing and gathering into
barns 1t is living. The more we realize
this, the better work we will do and the
more successful we will be-. l.. Vim

WIRE FENCE BUILDING.
Durability Depends Altogether Upon
the Way In Which the Anchor
Posts Are Set.

The amount of time annually con
sumed in the repair of wire fences.
combined with the loss in crops and
in injured animals due to their being
out of repair we are confident would
foot up a pretty big total. A little
more time expended, however, in the
first construction of the fence, SO tha
it may be constructed substantially
and according to correct principles will
very materially reduce these losses
One of the first and most important
requisites of a good fence is to have
the anchor posts so set that they viii
stay right where they are placed. The
failure to properly set these is perhaps
the most prolific source of poor fences
and the consequent losses therefrom
There is much less strain on a fence
that is kept tight and in proper shape
than on one that is not, because there
is less effort on the part Of the AMI
mails to get through than where they
can see a more encouraging prospect

Heavy with the scent of cedars, hem

or success in that direction. Such D
condition of fence can be maintained
only when the anchor posts are so sci
as to resist any reasonable amount OF
strain that may be placed upon them
The accompanying cut represents
very substantial anchor. The anchor
post should be large, and the heavier
the better, although actual weight Is
of minor Importance. 1t should be
of sufficient length to extend Az feet
into the ground, where long stretch
of four or 41a-foot fence is to be
attached thereto, and have a two-inCt
block, the larger the better, spiked or
the rear side at its foot and one or
the front side just below the surface
of the ground, as shown in cut. If il
IS a corner post with two stretches OF
wire attached at right angles to each
other there should be two sets OF
blocks spiked to the post to CORE.
spond. The brace post should also
have a two-inch piece spiked to its
front side just below the surface CT
the ground. A good heavy brace, that
will not spring, should be placed
against the brace post and supported
by a stone or block to keep it out OF
the ground and prevent decay The
other end of the brace should be placed
against the anchor post about midway
between the ground and top of fence.
1t is quite common to see the brace
placed against the top of the anchor
post, but placed in this manner it acts
as a lever to lift the anchor post out
of the ground. A wire is next passed
round the brace pannel from foot of
anchor to top of brace post and twisted
as shown in cut. Twelve feet is very
good length for the brace pannel a
longer one requires heavier brace to
secure a given strength and too short
a Dannel makes the brace too steep.
The wires should be drawn up well,
but not too tight. as this will injure
the texture of the wire. This is espe-
cially true in the case of single strand
wire. In cable wire the twist will
yield to any overstrain. Staples should
not be driven tight, as is often done.
but left so the wire can have free
movement from end to end. If the
wire gets little slack at any time it
can then be tightened by hitching on
to either end. If an animal runs into
such a fence with great force the wires
will yield throughout their whole
length like a spring, and as the body
is thrown back they return to their
former position, and may show but
little change from their former con-
dition, while the same impact against
a fence with staples driven tightly
would be sustained by that immediate
section of the fence. The wires, if not
broken, would be stretched and in
iured in texture and left hanging so
that immediate repairs would be nee
essary Even with mild impact that
will do little injury to the wire it is
drawn through the staples which are
too tight to allow it to return and 1t
hangs there loose and out Of condition
until repaired.-Prairie Farmer.
