FARMER vREDENBURGH.

American public been so anxious to get
something for nothing. Whether it's
the Wall street craze or not, I don't
know. But when you get out there with
your faro outfits or whatever game you
chaps will work, there's one thing that
you want to do-let the public win, and
win well at the start. Let one man win
and get away, and he'll tell hundred.
Let the second man win and get away,
and he'll tell thousand. That's the
whole business nowadays. Let 'em swal-
low the hook, instead of just nibble, as
We used to do. It's the same system,
only on bigger scale. Take lots of
money with you, and let plenty of it get
away from you at the start-cast your
bread upon the waters. It'll come back
to you all right. That's all. Remember
1t. say it. I've read the signs of the
times, and l can see that if you go into
the business wholesale and liberal, you'll
have all the other crooks skinned to
death. You keep ahold of what I've told
you, and tell your friends, and this here
New York crowd of crooks will wipe up

ing Him Night After Night to
Tell New Yarns.

John. J. Mitchell, of New York. a
Waterman and former soldier in the
confederate army, had his son Henry
arrested the other night on a charge
of disorderly conduct. When the son,
tall, slim man 33 years old, was ar
raigned in the West side police court
his aged father stepped upon the stand
and tremendously saluted the court.

trate Mayo.
81 simply can't stand it any longer"
began the old warrior.
"He amuses himself by waking his
old dad up in the middle of the night
asking him to tell him war stories"
The prisoner smiled sheepishly.
"But does he do this often?" asked
the court.
For weeks at time, and that's too
long for an old man to be disturbed.
Why, he's got so now when he gets me
up he goes and wakes his sisters and
tells 'em to come in and hear their old
daddy tell war stories. Now, the girls
have work to do, and this breaks 'em
up as much as it does me-"
what have you got to say about
this?" the prisoner was asked.
"It's true" he admitted.
90, he wouldn't deny it; the boy is
too truthful for that" interjected the
complainant, proudly.
"He's not a bad boy ordinarily, but
he does like to hear war stories. One
night he woke me up three times to
tell him how I shot a razor back hog
thinking it was Yankee spy. and
how the whole brigade, hearing the
shot, turned out in the dead of night
and began blazing away in the dark. "
That's shame" declared the court.
"Why don't you let your father alone.
Mitchell, and act like MANI"
"I'll quit" said the prisoner.
"How long will you agree to let me
sleep?" asked his father.
"a year." And with this under
standing the prisoner received another
chance.
"It's this way" said the young mans
sister. when Henry gets the war
story fever none of us can sleep. Not
that he is quarrelsome, quite the con-
trary. He just worries and putters
about all night when he cannot make
father tell his stories about the war.
The other night he kept father out
walking the streets with him all night
telling him about the war"

SEEDLESS AGE Is COMING.
Agricultural Department and Private
Experimenters at Work to
Hasten Its Advent.

The early years of the twentieth
century bid fair to be known as the
seedless age. 1t may be even referred
to as the period when appendicitis was
forever banished from among the ills
that beset this flesh of ours. Events
OF the past few months lend much en-
couragement to such a set of views.
Not only the agricultural department,
but individual growers themselves are
busily engaged in experiments to de-
velop seedless apples, plums without
stones, grapes without seeds, and per-
haps most wonderful of all, the
Georgia watermelon, seedless, but
luscious. Some of these experiments
have reached that stage where definite
announcement is about to be made In
the case of the apple, investigations
carried on in Colorado have developed
an apple which grows from the bud
OF the tree and not from the flower,
which has little bag or cavity on
the end, like the we'll known navel
orange, and which is said to be quite
free from the numerous diseases which
gro" up with the apple as the result
OF the development of eggs laid on the
blossoms in the early springtime.
This feature of the matter is alone
worth the most serious investigation,
as it promises to effect a material saw
ing in every seasons products. The
work with the plum is proceeding with
similar favorable results. No an
nouncement has been made with re-
spect to the efforts to secure seedless
watermelons, but those engaged in the
work believe that they can demon
strate that their theory is a practical
one. We hope all this may prove true
but for several years more, at least
we will have to worry along with seeds
in everything, just as our ancestors
did before the f1ood-Rural World.

TO WARD OFF THE DISEASE
But it Didn't Work and She is Be.
- ing Treated by a Physician-A
Faith Healer.

Chicago, ILL.,, November 15.-Mrs.
w. c. Waterbury, faith healer,
and, according to her sister-in-law,
member of the First Church of
Christ, Scientist, of La Grange, held
the belief until last Tuesday that
she was immune from the infeetiol
of smallpox.
Whether she holds her faith un-
impaired today is a question. She
is being treated for smallpox b.
physicians in the Chicago Isolation
hospital along with her nine-year-
old son, Elba. Her sister-in-law says
that Mrs. Waterbury's belief. so far
as it applies to smallpox, has beer
strained but not broken.
Mrs. Waterbury, it appears, has
had strong opinions On the subject
of healing by faith for some tirne.
She held that not only simple dis
orders of the system might be diss;-
pated by the power Of mind, but
that contagious diseases could gain
40 hold on a person who had faith
to withstand them. She went SO far
as 10 disregard such precautions as
the vaccination of herself and her
children.

LIMIT REACHED
Republicans Now Claiming Arkan-
sas For Roosevelt.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 15.-Chair-
man II. l.. Remmel Of the Republi-
can state committee issued the fol-
lowing statement tonight:
There is great CONSERVATION among
the Democratic politicians here at
the capital The ticket was short
and there was very little trouble to
vote. Six days have elapsed since the
election, and returns received at the
governor office are from but twen-
ty-seven of the seventy-five counties
I'giying the results. Great secrecy is
manifested on the part OF those who
ought to be informed as to the re-
suits, all Of which is very signifi-
cant, and from reports we are re-
ceiving it looks very much as though
the Roosevelt and Fairbanks electors
have carried the state.
The Gazette is only claiming a
majority of 10000 and Democratic
politicians are claiming majorities
ranging from 1000 to $4,000. Re
turns from only one of the counties
| of the "black belt' have been re-
ceived. If normal vote has been east
in these counties and should it be re-
turned as cast, it is a fair supposi-
ton that the Republicans have ear
ried the state by small majority.
The Democrats say the state is
safe for them.

BIG HORSE SALE
Opened last Evening at Union Stock
Yards at indianapolis.

indianapolis, Ind, November IS.
The fifth semi-annual sale of
track. road and trotting- bred horses
by the Blair and Baker Horse Com
pany was held tonight at the Union
Stock Yards.
The Newman consignment played
large part in making this sale the
best i'll Indianapolis or the West in
point of the excellence Of the con-
signments. The catalogue had about
800 horses entered, nearly all the
older animals having records or
trials which bring them in the rae
ing class and most of the yearlings
have pedicrees that will probably re-
suit in a high average price at the
sale. Mr.. Newman has bought the
entire string, and they will all be
sold here this week. Many horse
men who have known "Scottie'
have heard him say that when he
found a perfect yearling he would
name it after his Louisville chum,
Harry NJ. Brennan. chairman Of the
Louisville Board of Safety. L
have found the yearling.' he said,
"and he is bound to make mark
of one-quarter in 321l2 seconds. He
is by Boreal, first dam J. O. d., by
Earl, the cross that gave Pan Mi
chael (2:05) and Boralma He fol-
lows them, too, in color and early
fight of speed.'
Boreal 21072, also in the Newman
consignment, is one Of the best stall
lions that has been offered at the
local sales. He is the sire Of Matin
Bells, 2:0GL2; Beauseant, 2:06Ha:
Bolass Andrews. 2:0612; Roberta,
2:16I. and about twenty-five other
notable performers.
Garalma Lawson is a promising
looking chestnut filly, described by
her owner as ga colt that has not
been on earth long enough to grow a
tail, but one that viii bring 81 600

A large number Of horses were
sold and brought fancy prices.

''PLAy POLITICS"
Slogan of Minority in the State Leg
islature.

'.Play politics. will be the slo-
gan of the minority in the legisla-
'ture this winter, and the principal
move the Democrats will make in
that direction will be in introducing
bill for an act providing for the
registration Of voters in Indiana sim
liar to the laws Of Illinois, Ohio
and other States, and another bill
for an act establishing an educa-
tional qualification for voters.
Contending that they are seeking
to purify politics by disfranchising
the ignorant negroes and whites that
constitute the major portion of the
element known as foaters, the Dem
ocrats will make a grandstand fight
for these measures, solely to the end
that they may put the Republicans
in the hole and make political cap
ital which they can use in the next
campaign.
John Piatt Dunn, City Comptrol-
Ter of indianapolis, is said to be tax
ing the initiative in this game of the
Democrats. He is more of doe
trinaire than politician, and doubt
less believes that a registration law
and law placing an education re-
striction upon suffrage would be for
the betterment of the State. but at
the same time he has been known to
play politics and in heading this
movement he is both riding his hob
by and putting up game for his
party.
There Is just one place where Mr.
Dunn may fall down.-he is not in
the best of standing with his party.
1t was he who framed the Democrat
ic State platform this year, and who
is held responsible for its rabid at
tack on Governor Durbin and the
State administration. admittedly the
worst mistake the Democrats could
have made. As result he is not
held in the very highest esteem by
the party leaders. and when he at :.
tenpts to direct tie larty's leo.la-
tive policy he may be turned down
hard.
