lions, being" Miss Armstrong quoted
the packer as saying, more intelligent

A Foolih Old Bachelor

This man was an old bachelor, and
his kind do some mighty foolish things.
He was 60 years old, owned a quarter
section farm worth $12, 900 and was free
from debt. The recent land craze struck
him. He fell into the tolls of a smooth
tongued land agent who gave him a
free ride up to the jumping off place in
British Columbia, where he was in
duced to buy $40, 900 worth of range
land at So per acre. He gave his note
for the first payment of $4,000, which
his local bank discounted, and loaded
himself up with a yearly interest
charge of $500, while he rented his good
farm for $500 per annum. AS he paid
as much for his Canada land as it will
probably be worth 20 years from now,
he has has got himself into a nice
financial fix. Had he married some
bright woman years ago, it is not like
ly that he would have done so foolish a
thing. Don't be an old bachelor.

A FOR LIFE.

Eagle River, Mo-, Jan. 1911 .-Masgie
e. Decker, a hard working oma 40
years of age. whose home Is here, has
Just gone through a thrilling battle for
her life. Many another would have
lain down and died, for for twelve long
years she has suffered the most awful
pains.
She had Kidney Trouble and Rheu-
matism combined with a very Distress
ing stomach trouble. At last she got
so bad that she could not sleep for she
ached all over, and was SO lame that
she could scarcely walk. She spent
over a hundred dollars in different
medicines but only to be disappointed
for everything failed to help her.
At last. however, just when she was
beginning to despair of eve finding a
remedy, she heard of Dodd's Kidney
Pills and bought six boxes. She says:
Nov l can eat well, sleep well, and
am feeling splendid. God bless Dodd's
Kidney Pills for they save my life. My
troubles were many but Dodd's Kidney
Pills cured me completely. But for
them l surely would have died"

REMARKABLE SHOT.
Fired in the Dark, Injured Three Men
a Half Mile Away.

90. of the best and most remarka-
BILE shots made during the late war
with SPAIN" said a gentleman who
made an effort to get into the thick Of
the fight, was, in my judgment. made
at Miami, and the man who fired the
shot was a Louisiana boy and member
of my company. He was DUNG duty as
as provost guard at the time. 1t vas
late at night when the soldiers were
aroused by the sharp, clear crack of a
Krag-Jorgensen or the outskirts of the
camp. No particular attention was
paid to the matter at first, as only n
shot was fired. But with a couple of
officers we went out to where the guard
was stationed in order to find out just
why it was that he had fired at that
time of night. He explained that he
had seen a man slipping through the
bushes some distance away, and had
called on him to halt. He failed to
obey the command and the guard blaz-
ed away at him, more to brighten him
into a stop than Anything else. OF
course, the fellow never halted. He
was probably too badly frightened to
stop at that time.
While we were talking to the guard
we heard a fearful noise at least half
a mile from the guards station, and
we made a break for the place to see
what the matter war. We heard sew
eral people screaming as If in great
agony. Down the road w went at
full speed and in a short while we came
upon a little cabin which stood On the
roadside. The noise was in this cabin,
and | never heard such groaning and
wailing in my life. We found three
,,nn - xL4 L@,,rA TL4., ynr1 &, o-aat
agony and We asked them what was the
matter. We have been shot they
said, and sure enough they had been
shot. One was shot in the right arm,
another in the back and the third in
the hip. They had all been wounded by
the same bullet. The man who was
wounded in the arm was lying on his
right side. The ball passed through his
arm. Next to him one of his compan-
ions was sprawling out on his back,
and the bullet split the hide on this
part of his anatomy as smoothly as a
knife. Then it passed through the
fleshy part of the third mans hip and
sped On. We could not find the ball. 1t
had passed through the side of the
house, wounded the three men in the
way indicated, bored through the wall
on the opposite side, and kept on going,
and there is no telling how many trees
the ball had passed through before it
reached the cabin. Now, that cabin
was fully half a mile from the point
where the guard was stationed and yet
the shot he fred had wrought all the
havoc we found. The ball had plowed
it's way through the woods and into
and out of the cabin, and l suppose it
is going yet. 1t shows what kind of
guns we fight with in these days.

The West should take to heart the
lesson taught by the abandoned farms
of the East-that of a wanton waste Of
soil fertility. This evil was not brought
about in any one year or decade, but
like interest on a mortgage or the prog
ress of an insidious disease worked
cumulatively and continuously until the
earth refused to yield her in crease.
The most splendid heritage of the West
lies not in its landscape scenery, it's
waterways or climate, but in the inner
ent fertility of Its soil. the impairment
OF which is only possible by greedy and
barbarous methods of agriculture
which, unfortunately, are too often to
be found, Today the buildings IN
many an Eastern farm are worth more
than the land itself, and any effort for
the restoration Of the fertility of such
farms is of necessity exceedingly tedi-
Gus and expensive and in many cases
utterly useless. The owner Of a fertile
Western farm should study no question
so closely and intelligently Is how to
preserve and maintain this natural fer
tility, for, like a mans reputation, it is
very hard to restore when once it is
impaired.

A Shark Yarn.

The representatives of the principal
Australian papers were taken out to sea
about so miles from Brisbane in the
pilot boat to meet Nine. Melba on Sept.
16. She was travelling by the mail
steamship Miowera. While the pilot
boat was waiting for the Miowera the
ships company had a remarkable and
probably unprecedented experience. A
great gray shark, about II feet in
length, was hooked on a schnapper line,
which broke. A second time the big
fish got on the schnapper line and es-
capped. Then a large shark hook with a.
chain was thrown out, and the raven
Gus brute grabbed it, and was caught.
All hands, pilots, cook and pressmen,
tugged the shark to the vessels side. A
huge hook or the anchor tackle was put
through his jaw and one eye, and the
fish was then hauled out of the water.
One of the crew ripped the Monster
open from the head to the tail. The
vital organs and entrails were thrown
overheard. and then both jaws were
hacked out for the sake of securing the,
teeth. Nothing but the shell of the fish
remained and the shark was lowered
overheard. A rush was made to the
side to see him sink, but the company
was astounded to see the fish make off.

The Grand Army of Titles.

The American people live and move
and have their being in ar atmosphere
of harmless shams, many of which
take form as titles and dignities. They
are pure wind and mean nothing at all.
There are judges who know nothing of
law. There are doctors of laws, medi-
cine. theology, and philosophy who
never even passed through the primary
school, to say nothing of accommodating
university degrees. There are colonies
galore, generals not a few, and a cap

Forty Acres and Six in Family.

A reader of these notes in central
Illinois wishes to know how his forty
acre farm may be operated so as to
support a family of six and pay off a
small mortgage which there is upon it.
The land is level and good and located
within three and a half miles of a
thrifty town of 5000 people. 1t may be
said that any of the old methods Of
farming could not be made to accom-
plsih the result desired. Something
new must be tried, and it must be in
the line of an intensive and diversified
agriculture. There should be IN this
farm six COWS of the strictly dairy
type, capable of producing 1876 pounds
of butter each per year; there should
be not less than 300 hens, Plymouth
Rocks recommended; there should be
a small silo with a capacity of seventy
or eighty tons; there should be two or
three brood sows well bred. The farm
should be divided into four fields of
ten acres each, the boundary lines be-
ing fruit trees of varieties suited To
that latitude. Ten acres should be kept
in pasture, twenty acres in field crops,
such as corn. potatoes, clover, millet,
sorghum, oats, peas and alfalfa If II
will grow. The remaining ten acres will
include the homestead, a small fruit
garden of five acres devoted to black
berries, raspberries, Strawberries, cur
rants, and the remaining three acres 10
be devoted to pieplant. asparagus, cele-
ry. beans, onions, sweet corn and other
salable vegetables. This family of six
will find all the work they want to do,
and more too, on this small tract of
land thus operated. Thus conducted
there will not be a day in the year
when some product or other Of this
farm may not be taken to town for
sale, and if intelligently operated upon
the foregoing lines, proper attention
being paid to the items of crop rotation
and continuous and heavy fertilization
of the soil, we wonld almost guaran-
tee a good living for the family, an
early payment Of the mortgage and the
steady building up of a comfortable
bank account. This not only looks good
on paper, but it is essentially good in
nracffcp
