purpose of robbery. He said that he had nothing of value that could have been stolen. He said that he became aware that some one was in his room and he threw out his arm, which came in contact with him. The visitor struck him on the head twice and ran out. He could give no sort of an idea as to the size of him.. What had been supposed to be damaging evidence against Sullivan was a button said to have been torn from his coat by Shiek in the struggle in the darkness. Shiek said that he had not secured such button and had not seen one. Then began a play of the game, Who's. got the button?' The button had been given to the police by young man by the name of J. D. Luke, ledger at the Monroe. He said that he had received it from Martin. the proprietor of the house. MT Martin was called to the stand and said that he had not found a button, but that another lodger by the name of J. L. Ford had told him that he found it in the room of Shiek after the struggle between Shiek and the burglar. MT. Ford was called. He said that he had found TO button in the room but the one Tn evidence had been found by him just outside the door of Shiek's room.
 Mr Martin and others who had seen man running away after the alarm from Shiek's room, could only say that they believed at the time that he was Sullivan. The most damaging thing against Sullivan was the condition of his room and clothing after Martin en- tered.
 Regarding his confession to the po- onf Ia had q Q it under duress, in order to get out of the sweat box. He had also at the instance of the marshal signed a state ment of his guilt. but that was not admitted, though his verbal confession was allowed to go in.
 The testimony of Sullivan did not help his case. In the course of 1t he admitted that he was the man who had been seen running and he further admitted that ne might have. been in the room of Shiek by mistake. He said he had been sick all afternoon and had gone to his bed early. He remembered not long after that of leaving his room and of returning and sitting on the edge of his bed. He had an impres- sion that some one was striking at him and after that he left the room and thought that some enc was pursuing. He remembered falling over a fence as Martin had related in his testimony This accounted for the disordered state of his clothing.
 In his testimony Sullivan dwelt upon the fact that there was no reason why he should try to rob Shiek. He had plenty of money of his own and if he needed more could get it by telegraph ing to his Kansas City relatives; he also pointed out that there would have. been a lack of motive in the attempted robbery of Shiek, for Sullivan said that he had no means of knowing whether he had any money or not.

YOU WORK BEST FACING THE
 WEST

To test the truth of the assertions of many persons that they sleep better with their heads pointing to the north, work better facing the east, and so on. pr. Charles Fere, who is well known il. France for his studies in physiological psychology, has constructed a delicate machine which he calls an ergograph, with which he has achieved some inter esting results. lis mal5hine registers the number, rapidity and quality of the movements of the index finger when writing or performing any accus- toned work. He announces that his eX- periments with it prove that work done by a person facing the west or east is better by twenty-fiv per cent than similar work done by a person facing the north or south, and that when working facing the west it is about twenty five per cent better than when facing the east.
 This matter or orientation seems to have an influence upon the nervous system, due largely, it is believed, to the fact that the earth a gigantic magnet. Many learned men have no- ticed that they sleep best with the head to the north, and work better facing the west, while at least one famous pianist finds he plays with the greatest ease when the piano faces the east. It may be that the great migrations of tine human race, all of which have been from east to west, and the observed tendency of trees to develop in the same general direction are in some way related to these phenomena.

SULLIVAN HELD
The Young Man Charged With Burg
 lary at the Monroe House.

William Sullivan, the young man ar rested on Thursday morning charged with burglaTizing the room of G.. S. Sheik, a fellow lodger, at the Monroe house on Wednesday night, was be- fore Justice Burnett yesterday after neon for preliminary examination. He was held to the grand jury in the sum of $500. It is probable that an effort will be made today to have the amount of the bail reduced. But in any event it is quite likely that he will be able to furnish it, for it is understood that his relatives at Kansas City have plen- ty of money.
 The case against Sullivan came near falling through. But for the confes sion he made to Marshal Kinney the day before it is doubtful whether he could have been held. Shiek, the in- tended victim of the burglar, told quite different story from that which had been at first related. He said that he did not recognize in any way the intruder; he did not know that the man had come into his room for the

THE FARMERS GARDEN.
Spring 10 Not Far Away and the
Farmer should Be Thinking
About His Garden.

And now for spring! To be sure, It
IL not quite here, but the rapidly
lengthening days and the sun away up
at noontime is good evidence that 1t
is not far away. In few days the
bluebirds will be here, then the robbins.
and one after another all the other
spring and summer favorites. We will
have cold days and frost, and possibly
snow storms, before spring is fairly on,
but a fellow can't help looking long
ingly at the old familiar tools he IS
almost aching to get to work with.
About the first thing the sensible.

of ID the garden. He knows that hot
dayr and hard work are coming, and
tha, he must have q change Of diet to
enable him to do what he hopes to GO.
He must eat more vegetables and less
fat meat to keep in healthy condi-
ton. and these vegetables must come
from the garden. Now is the time to

A Cotton Growing system.

Ny plan for preparing land for cot
ton and cultivating same, and varieties
to plant follows:
Break the land thoroughly in the
fall or winter when the ground is not
too wet. Pulverize with disc harrow
in February or March. On April the
LIST lay of rows 311 to 5 feet apart,
quality or fertility OF land considered.
1. fertilizers are used, sow about 400
pounds of A No cotton guano in the
drill. Ridge on same with two burrows
after the danger of frost is passed.
Split the middles, run V-shaped har-
row on the tops Of beds, then plant
with good planter, about one bushel
of good early-maturing seed per acre.
AS soon as it comes up, run around it
with rake, chop to a stand. leaving
one to two stalks in hill, with Is
inches to three feet between the drills.
Side as soon as chopped. In 10 to IA
days repeat siding and >chopping, run
ming pillow deeper than the first siding.
Split the middles, and in IL to IA days
side again. In 10 or II days split the
middles again and lay by.
In case the land is very rich and in
clined to run to weed, would use
more acid phosphate and potash, and
very small quantity of ammoniated
manures. Plant the early varieties of
cotton always, when to be had. OF
course there are some good kinds OF
late cotton, but If you can get July
crop, you are safe, generally speaking,
for a good crop. The staple of the
early varieties is generally good, y
to IL inches long. Cotton can be side
dressed with nitrate of soda SO pounds,
or cereolite 100 to $50 pounds per acre,
about the LIST of July in siding furrow,
and to great advantage some years.

The we.tern Limit Of Cotton.

The Western Limit Of Cotton.
The semi-tropical habits of cotton
have caused us to consider it fitted
only to the humid or heavy rain belt
of the Gulf states. But change is
rapidly coming about. The semi-arid
west is growing cotton abundantly.
The pods or bolls pop open in Septem-
Der upon the prairies of west Texas.
Oklahoma and the Indian territories
like popcorn on hot shovel. And
this cotton is made with less labor
per acre than elsewhere. The staple
is good; the boil weevil has not invad-
ed these regions. The rains of May
and June come just when cotton
needs it, and the summer rains are so
far apart they do not encourage crab
grass.
In company with Messrs. Sterley
and Gibson Of the Fort Worth &
Denver road, and Mr.. Oswald Wilson,
OF Fort Worth, Farm and Ranch rep
resentative visited Iowa park and
Wichita Falls on the near edge Of the
great Panhandle to the greater pan.
We advised these people to plant cot
ton and diversity the single crop Of
wheat or cattle to which they are &C.
customed by resorting to the feecy
staple. Since that visit the entire
country near the rail road has taken
up the cotton-growing idea. Carloads
of improved seeds have been ordered
for spring planting, and the results
will be seen in thousands of bales Of
cotton grown on those fertile, chocolate
lands. In Oklahoma, which has q
family to every 100 acres of land, the
people are adapting the new cotton
culture radically and in all its details.
This, too, is a good cotton country.
and should no very unfavorable sea-
son occur the yield Of cotton from
Texas and Oklahoma and the Indian
territory will easily exceed 100000
bales in 1904.-Farm and Ranch.

The Novice A-Hor.eback.

The position that it is natural for the
beginner to take when first perched
upon a horses back is not the correct
one. This sounds unusual, because, in
SO many sports and forms of physical
exercise, the attitude that is easiest and
most natural is the best. For instance,
in walking, we move with our toes point
ed out and our heels in. The beginner
in riding naturally places his feet in
this position when first seated upon q
horse. The correct position for the
feet in riding is to carry them parallel
with the sides of the horse. The reason
for this will be readily understood if we
imagine the rider wearing spurs. Were
the toes out and the heels in, he would
be constantly in danger of jabbing his
horse in the ribs. If any further rea~
son we're necessary, the awkward ap-
pearance OF. the feet when carried as in
walking would sufiice.-Country Life III

How MEN COOK IN CAMP.
The Work of Novices In the Culinary
Art In Sometimes an Inter-
estin: Procedure.

Various echoes from the camp reach
me. Frequently am consulted about
the cooking, and am asked to furnish
recipes One year my fisherman
aspired to flannel cakes. There was no
reason, he said, why they should not
add this dainty to their fare, especially
since it was SO easily made. He wrote
out the directions-four, eggs, milk, soda
carefully. The sequel heard later,
says writer in Forest and Stream.
Toward the end of the week, when
the campers were little tired OF the
fishing, and probably of each other,
they decided the time had come Tor
the flannel cakes 1t was about three
o'clock in the afternoon, and they start
ed at once to get them ready. One man
went for milk to the farmhouse on
the hill, and while waiting my fisher
man measured out the flour into an
eight-quart bucket. Instead Of the two
quarts called for in the recipe, he took
four, to be sure to have enough. AS
they did not have eight eggs he took
five. and-think of this, We cooks
broke them right into the flour and
proceeded to stir the mixture until the
milk arrived. He then added the
milk and other ingredients, and kept
man stirring all the rest of the day to
get out the Jumps, which, 1t is I'M
necessary to add, could not have been
stirred out in an eternity. They tell me
there was man on the road coming or
going for milk for two hours, and that
when they finally desisted from beating
the mixture, there was as much OF the
batter on the outside of the bucket and
on the gallant cooks themselves as in
the bucket. Then they baked the bat
| ter in an iron pan and had supper, and
were thankful to find themselves alive
the next morning. Verify, cooks are
born. not made.
At another time kinsman aspired to
make an omelet, another very simple
thing. He took his directions from Mrs.
Rorer, learned them by heart, and kept
repeating them over and over. "Give
seven beats of the fork" They tell me
he said it at last in his sleep. The
opinion, however, was unanimous that
he must have given eight beats or
spoiled it some other way, but all agreed
nobody had been in any danger of dying
from the effects, for nobody had been
able to eat it. They had better sue
