Poultry Raising in Pulaski.

Charles Dallas Jones, of Pulaski
county, was told by his friends there
was money in raising and selling
chickens and eggs. He decided to
follow their advice and invested 800
in 200 Plymouth Rocks. The chicken
house and other material cost SIS
more.
In four months he has paid out $50
for feed, wood and a stove. The cold
weather froze 10 chickens and some
one stole the rest except one hen,
which has laid one egg.
Jones is trying to figure out just
what.that egg cost him and what it is
worth In cash. He is undecided what
to do, whether to eat the egg or to

Without having offended any q or

finds herself cursed by war. Korea
has an indendepent government, and
yet the japanese control her capital
and have sent the Russian minister
out of it. .Korea's harbors have been
seized, fights have been made In them,
they are used as a base of operations
and yet Korea is all the while an

ask Japan to come to her rescue. But
Korea's capital, her harbors, her po-

Senator Gorman's Mistakes.

Now he is advocating a cheap navy
and Just at the time when most peo-

statement to the effect that he did

This turn of affairs in a contested

The Chicago Tribune. whose editor
has personal knowledge OF the facts,
says that after Mr.. McKinley's first
election Nj. Hanna wished to become
his secretary of the treasury. Mr..
Mckinley wanted him 10 his cabinet
and had entire confidence in his finan-
cial ability, but feared he was not the
man for that place because he had had
no practice 10 public speaking. The
president was afraid that Mr.. Hanna
would be at a disadvantage as secre.
tary of the treasury in addressing
chambers Of commerce, boards OF
trade, etc. SO he offered him the
position of postmaster general. This
Mr.. Hanna declined, and concluded
to enter national politics by another
route. The incident did not affect
the close friendship OF the two in the
slightest degree. It was fortunate
for the country and for Mr.. Hanna's
fame that be declined the position Of
postmaster general, though be would
have made = good one.

noon as a tribute to the memory of
Senator Hanna is believed to be with
