ONE SUIT FOR FIFTY
But it Made it Possible For These In.
dams to Votes

Talking about voting under difficnI-
ties, remarked acongressman from Min
nesota few days ago. II remember in nv
state in former times there was popular
law that Indians who wore clothes could
vote. The woods were full Of Indians
but suits OF clothes were mighty scarce
around there, especially with the In
dlans. Whenever there was no special
interest in the election or it was all one
way the ingenuity of man was not stirred
up sufficiently to put two and two
together in such a way as to get those
Indians to vote, but one day votes were
mighty valuable, and an energetic worker
set out to get Indians.
''The red men were as thick as flies,
but every last one OF them had blanket
wrapped about him, and very few of
them had ever had on the clothing of
civilization. The proposition to let them
vote if they wore clothes was made in
order to encourage them in the wavs of
civilization and also with the idea that a
man who had on clothes would be pretty
intelligent Indian.
''Well, the demand for votes stirred
up one of the hard workers, and he got
an old suit of clothes and took it to a
hut near the voting precinct. One by
one the Indians were brought in dressed
up in the clothing of civilization and
voted. As soon as an Indian had been
voted he was hurried back to the hut
and his clothing was transferred to an
other Indian. The idea spread, and
other enterprising political workers set
up the same kind of business The num-
ber OF Indians that could be voted with
one suit of clothes was merely limited to
the number OF changes that could be
made. Each suit of clothes was easily
good to vote fifty Indians The light
ming change acts that were performed by
the Indians would be All object lesson to

BEEF AND TURKEY

Discussing the comparative food value
of roast beef and turkey, the Lancet says:
First, it may be said that weight for
weight the flesh Of the turkey is more
nourishing than that of beef, but the lat
ter is, generally speaking, cheaper than
the former. The moisture in beef how
ever, exceeds the amount present in the
flesh of the turkey, and the latter con-
tains better percentage of proteid, or
flesh forming substance. In either case
the percentage of moisture is seldom less
than 10 per cent In lean beef the
amount of fat is much the same as in
not too well fed turkey, but it must be
pointed out that the flesh of poultry differs
from that of beef or mutton in not having
its muscular fibers permeated by fat, and,
moreover, the fibers in the flesh of fowl
are short and readily yield to the disin-
tegrating action OF the digestive processes.
A large amount of fat in either case is apt
to interfere with the digestihility of the
tlltdt. luG ldt vi Deel Is more ulS6SIlDI6
than the fat of the turkey. The fat OF
birds, in fact, is harder and owing to its
tendency to become rancid is unsuitable
for the dyspeptic patient.
Perhaps the most important difference,
however, from a dieletic point of view
between beef and turkey is that whereas
beef contains high percentage of extrac-
tive matters, turkey contains hardly any
at all. The extractive matters in beef ac-
count largely for its peculiar and marked
flavor, and owing to their absence in
poultry generally and in the pheasant and
partridge the flavor of these meats is deli
cate. But there is no doubt that the ex-
tractives OF beef as well as of mutton are
valuable, for not only are they flavoring
agents, but they also act as perhaps the
most powerful stimulsnts to gastric diges-
ton

NEW FASHION HINTS

Cashmere in the palest shade of grey is
here daintiy trimmed with white lace and
royal blue velvet.
The foundation is fitted body lining
that closes at the center back and is faced
with alternate bands of lace and cashmere
to form round yoke.
The waist is tucked back and front to
simulate broad triple box plaits that ex.
tend from the yoke to belt.
A circular bertha collar finishes the
edge of the yoke and extends over the
sleeves. A shallow collar band is
trimmed to match the yoke. The waist
is gathered at the lower edge and attached
to the lining over which it bIouses well all
around.
Tucks in the upper part OF the sleeve are
stitched down to form fitted cap. The
sleeve is also tucked at the wrist in cuff
effe cts, the fullness between the tucks
making large puff. The sleeves are
trimmed with band of lace.
A panel front in the skirt gives the ef-
feet of having been continued from the
waist above and this is emphasized by
the novel trimming Of velvet passed
through eyelets and tied below the belt.
The skirt proper is gathered at the top
and fastened to the body portion, sash
of velvet concealing the seam. A deep
hem is surmounted by three tucks.
Dresses in this style made of eoilienne,
crepe-de-chine, albatross. yelling or Hen
rietta are tastefully trimmed with fancy
braid, lace, tucked batiste and taffeta.

SHIPPERS FILES NOTICE OF APPEAL

ELKToN, Md, April 10th.-Messrs.
Strahorn and Muliken, counsel for John
NJ. Shippers, convicted of the wiliul mur-
der of Albert Constable, and sentenced
to be hanged, have filed notice OF appeal
and have until May 10Th to prepare their
bill OF exceptions, if they conclude to
move for new trial. 1t is likely that
the case will be carried to the Court of
Appeals on the grounds that the confess
sion was Improperly admitted, and that
Harris, convicted murderer, should not
have been allowed to testify.

AN INTERESTING INNOVATION
Delaware Should Get in Line With a
Corn Train

10Th Tram
The Maryland Agricultural College and
Experimental Station has inaugurated
an interesting plan to aid farmers to in
crease the yield of corn per acre in that
State The plan is to explain to tile
farmers the necessity of having the right
kind of seed corn and to give lectures
and advice as to its selection.
The Maryland and Pennsylvania Rail-
road has placed a train at the disposal Of
the lecturers sent out by the Experiment
tai Station. The train left Baltimore
last Friday, and it has been travelling all
this week, making frequent stops of about
half an hour, at different points, where
farmers are gathered to listen to talk OH
corn cultivation.
1t is the opinion of those in this move
ment that more judicious selection OF
seed corn should increase the yield from
ten to twenty bushels per acre. 1t is
claimed that the lectures from the "corn
specials" in Iowa last year increased the
corn crop of that State $25,0O0,ooO. Ex-
periments have been made at the Ex-
pertinent Station which have satisfied the
officials there that the Maryland farmers
saould get from ten to twenty bushels
more per acre without any change in
cultivation or increase in fertilzing.
The subject has attracted much atten-
ton in the great corn States OF the
Middle West, and SO mnch confidence is
felt in the Importance Of the movement
that large sums of the money have been
expended in sending these corn seed
specials over the country. Farmers have
attended the meetings in large numbers,
coming from considerable distances, and
it IS confidently asserted that they have
reaped a great reward in increased crops

The farmer who does his best, always
and everywhere, is the one who does
most to lift up his country, state and
township. The roots of good govern
ment are deep down among the good
farmers of the country.
1t is said that the inhabitants of New
York eat all egg apiece every day in the
year, which makes total of ] ,405, 250, :
600 in the twelve months.
An exchange offers the following
wholesome advice to farmers who employ
help on the farm: keep on the right
side Of your hired man. Treat him well
SO long as he is in your employ, and if
he does not deserve good treatment, or
respond to it, do not keep him. A good
hired man will appreciate good usage and
kind favors and pay for them by the
extra amount and better quality of his
services. 1t is courtesy to treat all men
decentIy. In the case of your hired man
it is also policy and economy. Be liberal
with him, not only at the table, but give
him occasionally spare day for amuse-
ment and recreation. Any intelligent
hired man will work harder and perform
his labor better when lie feels that his
employer appreciates we'll doing"
The farmer should feel proud of his
profession, as it is one OF the most useful
and necessary occupations. He does
not sit on the ragged edge of doubt as to
the permanency of his position. No
master las mortgage on his labor or his
products. He is king among men, and
his home is the abode of contentment.
He studies the laws of nature and derives
maintenance from her bounteous stores.
When times are hard, and laborers are
clamoring for work, he has plenty OF
business to occupy his time. If the
farmer commences with small capital his
investment is sure to increase, for the
earth often rewards the husbandman a
hundredfold. The proper management
of small undertakings leads to larger
enterprises. The well-tiled farm pro-
duces abundantly, and the farmer
always has surplus to sell that makes
him independent even in strenuous times.
The farmer is the foundation of the COM
mercial prosperity OF the country.

as in the following story, richly mer.

He was one day visited by a Dublin
printer. who had Just returned from
London, and was dressed in a rich
coat OF silk and gold lace, which be
had purchased there.
When he entered the room the
printer saluted the dean Familiarity
as II he were an old acquaintance. He
seemed so proud of his grand coat
that the dean resolved to humble
him.
So he pretended that he did not
know the printer; said that he was
an lmpostor. and bade him leave the
house.
The printer saw the mistake which
he had made, and, returning home, he
put on his usual dress. Then he again
went TO the dean, and this time was
warmly welcomed
"Ah, George" said the dean. Il am
