The Rhode Island Red.
A H. WILSON

They are ipll-breasted and stockily
built, and at all ages, from the broiIer
to the rooster, produce a generous
amount OF the choicest flesh.
They are medium size, being about
the same as the Plymouth Rock; in
fact, they have teen used extensively
in crosses TO produce the Buff Rocks
and Wyandottes. They originated in
Rhode Island, from whence they take
their name, and are found there on al
most every farm.
There are good layers and splendid
mothers, and when they have become
better known, will be among our most
popular new breeds.-N. Y. Poaltry

The Hamilton bill providing for
the admission to the union OF Okla
homa and Indlan Territory IS one
state and New Mexico and Arizona as
one state has been reported by the
senate committeeman will doubtless
be voted on when congress Teassembles
IN January. An unforeseen provision
Of the bill will be the prohibition OF
the liquor trafic for the period Of ten
years. The territory Of Oklahoma
has bad the saloon, but congress has
long since forbidden the sale OF
liquor in the Indian Territor for the
protection Of the red men, who have
a particular weakness for intoxicants.
A large number Of senators are Of the
opinion that the same protection
ought to be afforded the Indians
under the state government. Mean
while many Oklahomans are opposed
to prohibition 10 their part Of the
new state and they say that there is
less in~toxication and less use of liquor
by the Indians in Oklahoma than in
the Indian Terriaory, although there
are a greater number Of Indians in
Oklahoma than in the Indian Terri
tory. They may not be able to sus-
tain this contention. Anyhow, it
has served to cool the ardOr Of some
of the Oklahoma 'statehoodlums.'

committee the names of any fam
lilies they have found where the
children may be placed. The chill.
dren's committee selects the home
which. it judges is best adapted to
the development of the child in
question. No child is placed in a
family so poor that the child might
suffer. The foster parent receives
a sum averaging $1.25 per week for
the care of the child and for proper
clothing.
When of school age the child
must be sent to school. The local
volunteer committee looks after
its care and culture, and Jealous
neighbors often assist in watch
ing the growth and education OF
these happy children. When the
child is IA years old he begins to
work. His earnings are placed in
the postal savings bank and at the
age of II or 1S he goes out into the
world independent.
Thus the state at an expense Of
about $50 a year has raised a man
or woman to contribute to it's
wealth and prevented the manu-
facture of a criminal and the ex-

THE COAL FIRE.

Good Housekeeping tells us that, in
order to economize the fuel, we should
have good bed Of Goals, and when
adding fuel, shovel on one side only,
covering a little less than half their
surface; put in as much coal as expert
ence may show necessary and have the
coal reasonably fine; do not burn coarse
Jumps. Next time put in fuel on the
other side. In this way, the heat from
the live Goals tends to make coke OF
the fresh fuel, consuming the smoke
and gases. Less draft is needed to
start the fire, and less fuel goes to
waste in gas or smoke, and there is
less gas and dirt in the furnace room
and house. In case of large humps used
to hold the fire, a good way is to scat
ter slack over the Jumps, as the slack
tends to hold the fire longer and the
Jumps tend to prevent the slack from
forming cinders.
In using coal, especially the soft coal,
there is always more or less fine coal,
or dust in every load, and this can be
useu 10 very great uufdhtdSc ny ldS
ing back the Jumps, when one has a
fine bed of coal in the range, and put
ting this fine coal on the live Goals, a
shoyeIful at a time in the above man
ner. 1t makes a very hot fire, and
there is thus no waste. 1t is a very
extravagant way of doing when one
picks out the Jumps and leaves the fine
coal and dust to be thrown out with
the ashes Some claim that it adds to
the heating qualities of the coal dust
to sprinkle it well with water before
using it.

alarm, he deserves publicity When,
a few days ago. a sensational melo-
drama appeared in a Western city the
company pack of trained wolves was
taken along. At one point in the play

away from the wolves, which jump up
and snap savagely as their expected
victim escapes their cruel fangs. Such
was the regular programme. But a
few nights ago king Of the Prairies,"
the premier OF the wolf sextet, jumped
a bit higher than usual in his efforts
to grab the escaping actor and landed
outside the wire netting in which the
wolves We're imprisoned, but which.

stage carpenter seeing king Of the
PrairiesY free on the stage, attempted
to beat the wolf back into the cage,
but he got an ugly bite on his arm for
his trouble. The animal then ran fran
tically back and forth behind the
scenes, pursued by the entire company
and the stage hands. In his efforts TO
escape. he ran into the girl who plays
the part Of the Indian maiden, Rain
bow, az she was coming from her
dressing room. She carried a small
six shooter, loaded with two blank
cartridges. which she was 10 fire in

she fired the revolver directly at him
and succeeded in turning him. After

minutes the old wolf was finally cor

MANS REsr FRIEND.


If a man has a good wife be has the
best friend it is possible to have. "A
mans best friend,D says Bulwer Lyt-
ton, ''is a wife Of good sense and good
heart, whom he loves and who loves
him.
In woman there is at once a subtle
delicacy of tact and a plain soundness
of judgment, which are rarely COM
bined to an equal degree in a man. A
woman, if she be really your friend,
viii have a sensitive regard for your
character, honor, repute. She will sell
dom counsel you to do a shabby thing,
for a woman always desires to be
proud Of you. At the same time her
constitutional timidity makes her more
cautious than your male friend. She,
therefore, seldom counsels you to do
an imprudent deed.
A wife best shows her friendliness
by clipping off from her husbands
moral nature little twigs that are grow
ing in the wrong direction. If he says
anything silly she will affectionately
tell him so. If he declares that he will
do something absurd she will find
means to prevent him doing So If
DR.. Johnson's wife had lived there
