There was considerable fixing and
bubbling in the African Methodist
Conference at Portsmouth, o., the
other day. The members blew off lot
of gas because Bishop Derrick had
been denied a glass of soda water in a
drug store. The clerk told the Bishop
it was against the rules of the store
to serve soda to negroes, and refused
to break the rule. The Bishop laid his
grievance before the conference, which
solemnly adopted resolutions denounc-
ing the druggist.

The President had a tooth filled the
other day. 1t would seem that, OF all
times, a man would desire privacy
while in the dentists chair. But not
SO the President. He likes to be in
the public gaze at all times. even while
his teeth are being plugged. Thus IL
transpired that he sat in front Of
window. in plain view of the street,
while the dentist was at work. And n
great throng gathered outside and
watched the royal teeth and palate
while the gold was being ham
mered into the cavity. II Col Roose-
welt had not been man Of destiny

yertising agent Tor circus.

Draftphobia.

From Town Topics.
An extremely odd man was Timothy
Quinn;
He hated fresh air as a parson hates
sin.
He managed to live, Notwithstanding
his fears
OF colds. drafts and dampness, for thir-
ty-three years.
He always insisted, and thought he
was right,
Upon having each door and window
shut tight.
He took so much care Of his health
that he died
From cold which he caught on an
open-car ride.
His folks had him cremated and wait
ed their turn
To take home his ashes TO place in an
urn.
AS the oven was opened, all heard
a voice roar
From within: There's a draft! Oh,
please close that doori"

rial Chancellor Won Buelow. Neither Of

any other country. The war must go

Ordinarily a strike Of school boys
against the school system is to be con-
demned, but I'm the case OF a strike
now on at Wabash, Ind, 1t is impos-
sible TO withhold sympathy from the
young strikers. The school board has
ordered that every pupil must learn to
do plain sewing. The rule applies to
boys and girls alike. Some days ago
the pupils were ordered to bring to
school with them pieces of cloth,
spools of thread, needles and Thin
bles. The boys thought it was joke
and paid no attention to It. But II
wasn't a joke. The boys who failed to
bring the sewing things were disci-
pllned. Then came the strike. The
boys positively refused to sew, or to
attempt to sew. and struck against the
order. And. really. we do not blame
them much. Meanwhile one cannot
help marveling at how much stupidity
can sometimes be gotten together in
the management Of schools.

The most famous OF the California
deserts is known as Death Valley, be-
cause Of the number of lives of pros
pectors and others that have been lost
there. No water is to be found any
where in the valley and in summer the
heat is intense. For years it has been
believed that there are large gold de-
posts in the valley. but owing to the
difficulty Of transporting water and
provisions in it no discovery of inn
portance has been made. Hundreds
of daring prospectors have attempted
to explore the region, only to leave
their bones to bleach under the pitiless
sun. Now, however, a. new and more
promising attempt is to be made. Prof
Bailey of San Francisco has procured
a large and swift automobile in which
he means to go prospecting. He will
be able to go about as far in an hour
as the oldtime prospectors could go in
a day with mule teams, and can carry
water and food enough to last him a
week or longer if necessary.

THE MOON AND THE WEATHER.
Fran, e. Nr,oy,oia.

The moon is the. most powerful agent
In producing the tides on the earth.
It also produces some slight variations
in the earth's magnetism. So far as
science has been able to investigate
there is absolutely no change i'm the
weather which can be attributed 10 the
moon, although half or more OF
mankind seem to believe that the
moon does have some control over
the weather. All such bsliefs, in
Guiding the time for planting gardens
and for going fishing, are mere super
stitions-the survivals Of an age OF
ignorance.

The Treasury Departments ruling in
the cigar stamp case is palpably an eff
fort to please both parties to the con-
troversy. Imported cigars are to have
a stamp of a distinctive color, as here
tofore, to please the trust. But the
stamp is to be smaller and to be
placed in a less conspicuous place, to
please the Independent dealers. Thus
both sides win, and the. administration
feels that it has right to expect the

Geese Are Profita BILE.

AS advanced ideas of farming con-
tnue to spread and better grades Of
stock and poultry are kept, the raising
Of geese continues to be more popular,
and as the demand increases the bust
ness becomes more profitable. The old
time goose that weighed four or five
pounds has now almost entirely disap-
peared, and in its place we have the
Toulouse and Embden, both grand
fowls that will weigh from twelve to
fifteen pounds each. They require no
expensive houses, but will need a dry,
warm shed during the cold months.
They should never be kept in the horse
or COW lot, as they invariably get Grip
pied by being trampled under the feet
Of the animals. When being prepared
Tor market they fatten very rapidly on
corn or corn meal and are ready to be
dressed within two weeks after having
been put on full feed. Geese are profit
able and are always in demand, and the
little attention required to raise them
Will justify the outlay in starting
home and Farm.
