CARE IN TESTING FLOUR.
Big Mills Take Pains to Ascertain
Quality of Output.

1T is surprising to note the differ

brands OF -four" said o. d. Hutchin-
son, the representative of one of the
big mills In Minneapolis, MINI. 1T
all depends on how the flour is milled
and on the kind OF wheat from which
II Is made. Flour made from hard
spring wheat will give from twenty
to forty more loaves of bread per bar
rel than that made from the softer
winter wheat. II contains q larger
percentage Of gluten and absorbs
more water. The mills are exceeding
ly careful about the kind of -four they
send out, and the testing department
is ora Of the most important
branches.
AFTER the -four is ground comes the
crucial test. A sample is taken and
made up into bread. We have four
bakings a day, and from twenty to
thirty loaves are baked each time,
each one representing sample of
-four. After the test has been made
the bread is turned over to the Asso-
ciated charities.
You may have noticed that the coll
or of flour is no longer a marble
white. but creamy white. This comes
from the fact that the rich portion of
the grain. right under the woody coat
ing. is ground into the -four. What is
left can hardly be called bran, for 1t
is only the coarsest part of the cutter

The Man Who Feels.


The man who feels Is happier wight
Than the man who is callous ana cold
For If he weeps I'm the gloom of night,
He laughs In the sunbeam's gold:
And IL the tide of his life runs low,
II reaches the submits of cheer:
He knows the nights, as the depths De-
low
And he smiles through a plying tear.
And after it ALL when all Is done.
The world has most of the gladdenins
sun,
For the twilight fingers when day Is
done,
And the SUMS benediction is dear
The man who feels is happier far
/ say 1t again and again
Than ever can be or ever are,
The pitiless SOUS of men;
For II he sighs for his own gray woes.
He sighs for another's. too:
III the plant of pain In his bosom grows
1t Is covered by sympathys dew.
And after IL all. when all Is said,
Still. pity and love forever are we'd.
That the heart unfeeling is chill and
Is true, and forever is true.
The man who feels is dear Gods gift
To sorrowful, Travelling world: 49,.
BY the hands that the burdens Of life
uplift
Is the flag of our peace unfurled.
We need not the souls that are callous
And selfish and welded TO greed.
But the plying tear for our fallen es-
We need-and we ever shall need.
And after 1t all. when all is past
'Tis the deed of love that alone may
last
And the rest is chaff in the winnowing
blast,
In the garden of life. weed.

federal soldiers to their homes
In Monroe county. Missouri. and Iowa.
Great crowds of people went to the
depot to look at the dead soldiers and
then went home and buried their valu-
ables. Many left town. For several
days a reign of terror existed Con-
slant lookouts from church towers
were maintained. Most of the home
guards were away on an expedition
and the town was practically defense
less, save for the small garrison in the
stockade.
Just at that period the outlaw An
derson was the most dreaded man in
the state. II was said that he had
scalped many of his victims at Cen
ITALIA and that death notches quite
covered his pistol stocks 1t was a
habit among the guerrillas to make a
record Of each man killed by an in

Bearce. a druggist. decided to save, II
possible, $4,000 that he had in his
strong box. His plan was unique. He
dressed as a brakeman and boarded
a freight train for Quincy, ILL.,, where
he intended to put his wealth in the
bank En- route he carried II in his
boots, as II was all in bills.
At Hunneweli the train was held up

to be under the command of Bill Ste

men in there get through" said the
druggist.
The chief said he was good fellow
and patted him on the back. Bearce's
boots were not inspected and he got
safely into Quincy with his wad OF
money.
In after years he related the Incl
dent to one of Anderson's rough rid
ers, who had hung up his six-shooters
and settled down to a life of peace
and quiet.
"Humph!" said the old guerrilla
contemptuously, that gang nevol
went to school. When we we're ou
