SORRY EXAMPLE BY ROOSEVELT
Andrew D. White Says Criminals Are
Protected.

New York.-"Much as l admire Pres
ident Roosevelt as true man, we
have seen the sorry example of the
mistake a strong man can make. Inc
president was appealed to by a col
ored Baptist minister to save the lat
ter's son from the gallows for the muir
der of farmer in Canada. The pres
ident listened to the appeal and has
succeeded in securing communication
of sentence. | do not admire the pres
ident for that"
This statement was made by An
drew d. White, formerly United States
ambassador to Germany in the course
of an address on Evolution VS.. Revo-
luton in Politics." before the League
for Political Education.
Mr.. White had declared that high
crime is more frequent in this coun-
try than anywhere else in the world
save Sicily, and that there is a wide
spread superstition here that it is the
duty of the people to protect criminals.
1t was calling attention to what ne
termed this mistake of lenience that
the former ambassador referred to the
president as quoted.
Crime is crime" said Mr.. White,
land it is our duty to make its prose-
cution more speedy and less intricate.

CONCRETE ON THE FARM.
1t Can BE Used Not Only for Cfsterns
and Floors But for Fence
Posts Also,

There is little excuse for up to date
farmers wading around in the mud.
when concrete walks may be had around
house and barn with very small outlay
of money, provided the man is handy and
can do the work himself after little in
struction, says Rural New Yorker. Be-
sides the making of walks concrete is
being used in many other ways advan-
tageously and economically. During the
past season we have seen fence posts
made from stone and concrete that are
much cheaper than the cut stone post,
and just as durable. The plan of making
the posts was to dig down two feet into
the ground, or perhaps deeper in soft
ground, and then make a box the size
of post wanted which was filled with the
concrete and topped out according to
fancy. When hinges or eyes were wanted
for hanging gates holes were bored In
the box and the eyes inserted before the
filling was done, taking care to have
same anchored well in the post A con-
crete floor is easily made in houses built
of stone or brick, and renders residence
practically fireproof. We saw floors of
this kind made last season that seem to
De perfection. A wooden floor is first
made of rough lumber and on this is
laid a wire cloth, in which the concrete
is spread six inches thick. When it
dries the wooden floor is removed and
the concrete is self-sustaining. The
convcrete is made by mixing together
Portland cement, sand and coal cinders.
1t is said to cost but little more than a
frst-class floor made of wood, including
the joists. We have seen number of
cisterns made out of concrete, no brick
being used for walling up. In making
a cistern of this kind it is necessary to
have a rough wooden wall made about
three inches all around from the dirt
and fill in space with concrete After
the wood wall is removed one coat OF
cement completes the cistern, and it is
there for all time to come. The greatest
objection to iron fence posts is that they
are not solid in the ground, being so
small BY using bed of concrete and
the base of all iron posts set in it will
be found that they will stand as well as
any other post.

A PHYSICIANS Statement.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan. l1.-Leland Will
Hanson, NJ d.. one of the cleverest ply
sicians, has made statement, endorsing
Dodds' Kidney Pills and saying that he uses
them in his daily practice in preference to
any other Kidney medicine. His statement
has created profound sensation as it is
somewhat unusual for physician to pub
licly endorse anything in the shape of a
patent medicine. DR.. Williamson says:
After twenty years practice in sickly
and malarious country l have come to the
conclusion that it is always best to use the
remedy that will relieve and cure my pa
tients whether ethical or not.
Il have used Dodd's Kidney Pills with uni
form success in the various forms of Kidney
Disease, Pain in the Back, Gout, Rheuma-
tism, Inflammation and Congestion of the
Kidneys and all kindred diseases; l always
prescribe Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases
and can testify that they invariably restore
the Kidneys to their normal state and there
by relieve the blood of accumulated poisons,
producing prompt and effective cures"

Finest Home in EnaIand.

II you were to ask: (Which Is the
finest country residence in the United
States?" no one could give answer.
If you ask: (which is the finest cas-
tie in Great Britain?" those in the
know will say "Alnwick, the home OF
the duke of Northumberland" This
is stated so positively that l suppose
there can be no doubt about it. Ain
wick is 600 years old, and was a ruin
till 1854. when the present owners
father sumptuously restored it and
bestowed upon it its ancient char
acter, Its massive walls bristle with
turrets, embattled and machicolated
and support no less than sixteen tow
ers. The barbican at the entrance is
guarded by stone efflgies of men-at-
arms in various warlike attitudes,
which from distance have the ap-
pearance of living sentinels There is
wonderful well let into the wall.
A magnificent marble staircase, the
steps of which are four yards wide,
leads to the upper floors. The castle
also possesses famous library, an
Egyptian museum, museum of Brit
ish and Roman antiquities and a rare
collection of ancient and modern
arms Its gardens are of great beau.

Merino puckwheat for STOCK.

There is certain kind of buckwheat
cultivated in Otsego county, New York,
which goes by the name of Merino
buckwheat. 1t is a little earlier than
the other kinds, and can be sown any

generally SOW it from June 10 to 20.

A short time ago. by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco ard sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held stick cut
from the grave of General Andrew jack
son, which has been carried by him ever
since. Mr. Brock is dignified old gen.
tleman, showing few signs of decrepi-
tude. His family Bible is still preserved,
and it shows that the date of his birth
was written lis years ago.
Surely a few words from this remarka-
bic old gentleman, who has had lis years
of experience to draw from, would be
interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Herald, December 4, 1898. A still
more pretentious biography of this, the
oldest living man, illustrated with
double column portrait, was given the
readers of the Dallas Morning News,
dated December II, 1898, and also the
Chicago Times-Herald of same date
