NO BARTENDERs NEED APPLY

Red Men Refuse Them Admission to
Order.
st. Joseph, Mo-, Sept. 14.-Red Men
of the United States elected the fol-
lowing officers yesterday:
Great Incahonee-Thomas II. Watts,
of Alabama.
Great Prophet-Thomas G. Harrison,
of Indiana.
Great Senior Sagamore-John w.
Cherry, of Virginia.
Great Junior Sagamore-W. A. S.
Bird, of Kansas.
Great Chief of Records-Wilson
Brooks, of Illinois.
Great Keeper of the Wampum-
Thomas j. Bell, of Massachusetts.
There was an animated discussion of
a proposed provision of the laws by
which saloonkeepers, bartenders, and
retail liquor dealers are to be barred
from membership of the Red Men. The
amendment was presented by Past
Great Incahonee Robert T. Daniel,
chairman of the committee on revision
of laws. and was adopted by a safe
majority.
The amendment also provides that
any member who shall engage in the
retail liquor business after having been
admitted to the order shall be liable to
suspension. 1t is not incumbent upon
the state councils to accept this new
law, but it is recommended to them for
adoption.
Another amendment similar in char
acter which was also adopted, provides
that should any branch of the order
hold any ball, picnic or other entertain
ment on Sunday, it is liable to have its
charter revoked and the same penalty
is to apply if any intoxicating liquors
are sold at such entertainment. Gift
enterprises lotteries and games of
chance also came under the ban of the
law revision committee.

eiII ITTfHin3 from the settlement
ssiiasa ilai',f kindergarten room for
this very purpose. The lady sat opposite
in a low rocking chair, holding lank
yellow kitten in her lap.
The knight was young in years, but
patriarchal in experience and point Of
view, as his mother said, with pride but
feebly echoed by the long suffering col
lege settlement family.
..He be only twilve, sure, but, faith.
who'd be KNOWN it? He be thot for
ward!, He was forward-prominently
forward, distinctly forward, constantly
forward. After a years acquaintance
with him any member of the settlement
grew SO to understand the word forward
that upon hearing it applied to any other
child she would turn pale, gaze at the
child and precipitately flee from it's pres
s ence.
The name Of the knight was Warren
Flanagan, but he was commonly known
as Wary, and one of the younger resi-
dents of the settlement once almost shat
tered the dignity Of the institution by de-
claring that it was an excellent name for
him because one had continually to be
wary in dealing with him.
Even Wary doesn't justify a pun" the
head resident had felt compelled to say.
"Puns, in any circumstances of life. are
things of which we should beware" she
had innocently added for the further edi-
fcation of the delinquent resident. And
1t was at least fifteen minutes before she
understood why the family shrieked with
mirth. Such an effect had Wary even up
on the head resident!
"He is the black sheep of the settle-
ment,' the head resident explained to
the lady the day of her arrival when she
had asked, in that ignorance which is
bliss, 'sWho is that interesting looking
boy with ragged clothes and searching
blue eyes?" The head resident continued:
HE leases the kindergarten children,
fights with the other boys. is cruel to
animals, torments the grls-and wears us
to shadows. He is in two clubs, and when
they meet-well, life becomes strenuous
We don't like to expel Wary. The settle
ment is for the benefit of just such boys.
We try to help him. to refine him. to make
him different, but he is the black sheep of
the settlement"
''The black eye would be more apt a
name" one of the residents murmured-

The head resident and the other mem
bers of the family smiled pityingly and in
diligently when the newest, the youngest
resident-the lady-said Have you told
him how unchivalrous all this is?' The
lady had pale brown hair and dreamy,
blue gray eyes. and her name was Ellen
Ellen Douglas-but her own family, and
within week the settlement family also,
called her Elaine.

Mumford on Stock Cattle.


Professor Mumford, in garnering
cattle feeding statistics among Illinois
| operators has incidentally cleaned con-
siderable information regarding the
buying and handling of stockers. lie
says:
"In buying ste Skers a common prac-
tice is to buy cattle during the fall and
early winter that are thin in flesh ana
weigh from 500 to 500 pounds, winter
them on a ration calculated merely TO
keep them from shrinking in weight,
and either fatten with grain on grass
during the summer or Craze them
thru the pasturing season and mn
ish on grain the following fall. Thus
we find that more than two-th1rds OF
our correspondents buy their stockers
and feeders in the fall and winter.
The reason given by the great majority
of these is that the cattle can be
bought more cheaply at that time.
Practically all of the remainder buy
in the spring, and the statement is
made i'm some instances that while the
market is usually lower on stockers
and feeders during the fall and early
winter. the expenses of wintering often
brings the final cost per hundred
weight to point above the price COM
manded by the same cattle in the
spring. BY expense Of wintering' Is
meant feed. labor interest taxes, and
mortality.
Pasturing.
| "The experience of some of our cor
respondents Indicates that s'tockers
carried thru the grazing season on
pasture Will yield larger returns during
that time If previously maintained
thru the winter on roughage than
! If fed a liberal ration of grain for sew
! eral months before pasturing. The
former method is often found most
economical in localities which are nat
| urally pied to the growing of grass
and forage crops largely to the exclu-
| sion of grain. But under average llli-
nois conditions it is rarely found good
| economy to carry stockers a consider
able time on a mere maintenance al
lowance, even tho the subsequent
gain on grass be thereby increased.
The average daily gain secured with
warnings on grass alone thru the
grazing season is variously stated by
161 of our correspondents. The mean
of these is 1.66 pounds. For two-year-
! olds on grass alone the average daily
gain. based on ITO replies, is 1.S7
! pounds.
Where To Buy
"In reply to the question, Where do
| YOU buy your stockers?' more than
1 one half our correspondents replied
that their cattle were bought in our
own neghborhood, and practically all
of the remainder in Chicago and min
or markets. Those who buy locally
/ give various reasons for their prefer
ence, of which the more frequently
mentioned are % better acquaintance

Spontaneous Combustion.
Rockford Register.

We have a request for some light on
the spontaneous combustion of hay
when placed in an uncured state in the
barn or stack. All know that when
any sort of vegetation containing a
large amount Of water is piled togeth-
er it will heat. If the bulk is sufficient
the heat generated needs but contact
with the oxygen Of the atmosphere to
induce a blaze. If for any reason the
NOV of hay is found to be dangerous
ly hot the safest thing to do is to ex-
clude the air from it as much as pos
sible, close the barn doors and win
dows, batten up the outside cracks In
the walls, lay covering Of boards on
top and cover these with some earth
or damp straw and let the stuff cook.
The process will not spoil the hay,
but, on the contrary, will convert 1t
into species Of ensilage wonderfully
fragrant and Notwithstanding In
texture like plug tobacco. The silo
does in a perfect manner what the
barn does under these conditions in an
imperfect way. Some years ago the
practice was quite general in west
ern community to thus cure the clover,
hauling the crop in as soon as 1t was
free from external moisture, but be-
cause Of proper care not being taken
to exclude the air several barns burn
ed down, and the practice ceased, the
insurance companies interfering. Avoid
having the hay heat if possible by cur
ing properly in the field, but If II
should heat do anything to keep the
air from it.

regulations as the case may
And Congress alone can do it,
for it is obvious that such regulations
should be based on a uniform system
applicable to the whole country and not
left to the varied, discordant or retail
atory enactments of forty different
states. The confusion into which the
commerce Of the country would be
thrown by being subjected to such
legislation on this subject would be but
a repetition of the disorder which pre-
vailed under the articles of confederat-
ion."

Under the plain language of this de-
cision and many other cases of similar
