Learning from Western Farmers.

From the Des Mones Register and Leader.
just at present authorities in the
east are urging the people to learn the
lesson of successful farming from the
west. Think of it; the states which
have been tilling the soil for over two
centuries learning from states in which
two decades comprehend both ancient
and modern history. Farming has
been revolutionized in the transmits
sissippi west within the last decade.
Farming machinery and the training
of the brains of the farmers have been
responsible for this. The days of the
one-horse pillow are well nigh over: In
the far west steam plows, threShers
and harvesters are in daily operation
during the season; in the Dakota
wheat fields twenty-hOrse teams are to
be seen on almost every farm.

THE MARRIED LIFE OF BIRDS
Human Beings Can Learn Some Very
Valuable Lessons from the
Feathered Tribe.

The married life of most birds could
be taken for model even by members
of the human family. There is, for
instance, the staid dignified and
homely bald-headed eagle-the glori-
Gus emblem of the American Republic.
He mates but once, and lives with his
own mate until he or she dies. If left
a widower-even young widOwer-
the bald-headed eagle never mates
again. He remains alone and dis
consulate in the nest on the rocky
crag or in the branches of tall pine
that formed his domicile while his
mate was alive. No other female
eagle can tempt him to forsake his
dinconsolate life. With him, once
widower always widower. The gold
en- woodpeckers live in happy mar
ried state, mating but the once. If the
male dies his mates grief is lasting
and she lives widowed bird the rest
of her life. So, too, the male wood
pecker never seeks another mate after
the death of his own. He taps on
tree beside their nest day and night
irving to recall her: then, at length,
discouraged and hopeless, he becomes
silent and never RECEIVERS his gravity.
With the female Illinois parrot
widowhood and death are synonymous,
a circumstance rare enough in the
human species, yet of which birds
give US more than one example. When
after some years of happy conjugal
life wheatear happens to die his
companion hardly survives him a
month. In bird life the males often
behave better than the females. A
widow magpie mates within a few
hours after her husbands death. Bad
fathers are rare amongst birds.
Usually the male rivals his mate in
love for their children. The carrier
pigeOn-in fact, so do nearly all
birds-feeds his mate while she is on
the nest. More than that, the crow,
the most dismal of all birds, often
sits on the eggs in the nest in order
that Mrs. Crow may have an hour or
so of relaxation and gossip among
tn other Mrs. Crows of her acquaint-
ance.
The blue martin, the black coated
gull, the great blue heron and the
black vulture all do the same. There
are some mormons in the bird land,
but not many. Polygamy is almost
unknown among wild birds. The wild
duck has but one mate, but let him be-
come captive by man and domesticat-
ed and he at once becomes a regular

After the Votes Were Counted.
From the Flagstaff Gem.

From the Flagstaff Gem.
The editor of this paper met the
enemy last Tuesday and we are theirs
in carload lots. We lost out and our
opponent won in. The only way we
can account for this is that he got a
few more votes than we did. We are
not lame, manned or sore over the re-
suit. A number of voters promised to
vote for us, but made mistake on
election day and voted for the other
fellow-such is politics. Hereafter
this paper will be more of a religious
paper than a political one. We have
to do something to square ourselves
for the lying we have done in behalf
of ourselves and others. We find
ourselves now without friends, infu-
ence, money, credit or meal ticket
and those owing US will come to our
relief at once. No apologies or ex-
cuses will be received unless it bears
the mark of the sender-that is, gold
silver or currency. We will be found

hours, unless we are lodging our
creditors,

OcilIans to Burn a Bale of Cotton at
Every Decline.

An Ocilla, Ca, dispatch says: In
the presence of about three hundred
farmers and merchants of this place,
bale of cotton was thrown off a
wagon on one of the main streets of
the town and set on fire by G. S. Will
cox, a member of the mercantile firm
of r. E. Wilcox & Brother, and
burned to ashes Wednesday afternoon.
Many citizens witnessed the scene
with curious interest, and knew not
what it all meant.
AS it burned planters and merchants
gathered around the fire and held an
informal indignation meeting in con-
tempt of the Wall str eet cotton specu-
latOrs.
The people here have agreed to burn
a bale at every decline in the price of
cotton.

5 a poet when not running the general

One night while at party Lucky
brought the heel of his shoe down on
Miss Welsh's toe, which had long
been a tender point with the young
woman. At the moment of contact she
tainted. She was taken home, and the
village surgeon feared that blood
poisoning would set in. Lucky provid-
ed for the patients comfort. When
she was able to walk he sent her the
incest pair of soft slippers he could
find, but at her next dance she found
greater pleasure in the partnership OF
other men.
This hurt Lucky, particularly as he
had insisted on meeting the doctor S
charges for the amputation of the toe,
although Mrs. Welsh had written to
have the bill sent to her. When she
returned to New York he began suit
before Judge Tierney in the Bronx
for the physicians bill, plus the cost
of the slippers.

Big toes are usually small factors
in most love affairs, but one that be-
longed to Miss Adeline Welsh had a
large part in shattering the romance
of Robert Lucky, who lives in Ken
lucky, for his clumsiness, which cost
the young woman her toe and cost
him her heart. And it cost her mother
about $50 in settlement of court case
to which this tangled tale of woe about
a heart and toe led.
When Lucky learned that his chances
OF winning the hand of Miss Welsh
had vanished he demanded back the
money he had paid a surgeon to re-
pair the damage he had inflicted upon
her foot. Not only did he obtain judg-
ment, but the marshall attempted to
levy upon the piano at Mrs. Welsh's
home, and was prevented from carry
ing out his plan only by the arrival OF
Mrs Welsh's attorney.
The caes was reopened, and after

KEEPING ORDER IN CHURCH

DR. EMIL G. HIRSCH the Jewish rabbi
- has a reputation for severity and sar-
casm, which the following story illustrates:
Two reporters entered Sinai Temple in Chi
cago several minutes late one night where
DR.. Hirsch was featuring. The second of the
two newspaper men carelessly slammed the
door behind him. Dr. Hirsch stopped talk
ing instantly and fixed a whitening gaze on
the representatives of the press. The man
who had slammed the door sank into the
first vacant seat; but the other reporter was
slightly deaf, and knew that if he sat in the
back part of the temple he could not hear the
lecture.
So he started down the long center aisle;
but the pews were well filled that night, and
the only vacant seat he could in the
front pew, directly in front of the pulpit.
For this he started, and under DR.. Hirsch' S
fierce stare went faster and faster until he
finally slid into the seat.
Then DR.. Hirsch raised his eyes to the con-
gregation and said in a loud voice: Will
the ushers please lock the doors?"
