Water for Swine.

W0t0T xOf SW1nes
There are farmers who raise swine
and never feel it necessary to give
them water to drink. They argue that
az the slop is composed largely Of
water that is all that Is necessary.
It'probably is, in many cases, where
the slop consists Of one part solids and
nine parts water, but II the slop ID
nutritious, as 1t should be-, and II corn
is fed in addition, the swine need con-
siderable water. Men of experience
claim that swine carefully watered are
rarely diseased. and they have little
difficulty in preventing them from max
Ing wallows. As matter Of fact,
about half Of the nastiness Of the hog
Is due to the carelessness of its owner.
Give the hog half a chance and he or
she will be reasonably clean. Try the
trough Of cold, clean water at feeding
time and see for yourself what the
swine think Of it.

Possibilities OF War.

The resignation OF NJ. Delcassse has
caused much uneasiness in parliamen-
tary quarters, where a pessimistic view
prevails concerning the relations be-
tween France and Germany. Some
deputies declare that situation in
volving posi- abilities Of war has been
narrowly averted, and that it will be
difficult even now to reconcile the diff
ferences already created.

resources Of the state and the great
number Of opportunities that the state
offered the young man Of little or no

Clure said that if every member of the

the good work that Executive Com
missioner Steele was doing for the
state he had no doubt but that an
appropriation Of any size could be had
from that body. Representative Nc
Clure was especially pleased with the
work that Senator Main of Cando has
done with the grains and grasses.

Stevens, II feel confident now that
something will be accomplished in the

qualified to undertake that vast work.
Indeed, he is to be credited even now
with accomplishing two of the great.

Great Northern through the Cascade
mountains. He attended to the work

was no delegation of his own duties in
that regard to others. Before ever a
mile Of track was graded or cut
through these mountains. Mr.. Stevens
had walked through them three times
IN an effort to discover the most feasi-
BILE route. On the last Of these
pedestrian tours through the Cascades
he discovered Stevens pass, through
which the line now runs.

task. The weather in the high alti-
tudes vas extremely cold. He started
with two Indian guides and two pack

Widow Of millionaire Killed by strychnino.
Honolulu, March Mrs. Sta

Honolulu, March 1.-Mrs. Stan.
fcrd went TO picnic yesterday, Ts-
turning to the hotel at 10 O'Clock
last night apparently inethe best of
health. An hour later, after dining,
she went to her room. Soon there
after she fell to the floor groaning
and shrieking.
"I've been poisoned This is a
horrible DEATH" and soon expired.
The coroner was Immediately noti-
fed and gave it as his opinion that
the woman was victim of strych-
nine poisoning. A post mortem has
been ordered.
Soon after her arrival here Mrs.
Stanford told friend she left San
Francisco beca use of an attempt on
her life and feared another would be
made if she remained there.
San Francisco, March IA cable
gram from Honolulu announces the
death there of Mrs. Jane l.. Stanford,
widow of the late Leland Stanford,
the California millionaire and rail
road magnate.
Mrs. Stanford last year returned
home after trip around the world
lasting almost year. During visit
in Egypt, which extended over eight
weeks, she obtained valuable col
lection of relics, which was added to
the museum at Leland Stanford, Jr.,
University. These relics were un-
earthed just before her departure in
the village of Gizeh, where the pyra-
mids were being explored under the
direction of the shiek.
In the collection was a portrait
statue of Cheops. 1t is estimated by
the Egyptian authorities, who per-
mitted Mrs. Stanford to take the
relics to California, that the statue
was made 1000 years before Christ
A beautiful necklace of gold beads
connected by artistic fligree, taken
from the neck of the Queen of
Deshur, was also obtained by Mrs.
Stanford. Psychologists estimate
that the queen lived 1886 years be-
fore Christ.

Louisville's Big Revival.

Meetings in twenty-four churches,
theaters and halls at Louisville Sunday
night, February 26, concluded the main
effort of one of the most remarkable
religious revivals seen in America during
the past fifty years.
During the two weeks of the revival
services $500 persons confessed Chris
tianity. AS about 81, 600 of Lousville's
100000 population, it is said, had no
church af1iliation before the revival be-
gan, tho two weeks more resulted in the
conversion of 10 per cent of the un-
churched.
The revival has been systematically
conducted, meetings being held at all
geographically advantageous points,
theaters and halls in the business por-
tion of the city being used. Eighteen
visiting evangelists took part in the
work, some of whom will remain for a
month longer to follow up the work.

Letter to W. A. STROLLER, waIhaIla.

Dear Sir: But few of the men who sell
the hundred different paints in the mar
ket know much about them. All Devoe
agents have State chemists certificate
telling just what it's made of; they
know good deal, not only about Devoe,
but the rest; we see that they do. We
buy every paint that has any sale, and
aualyze it. Our agent finds out all
about it.
When we know what paint is made
of, we know how it will act; we know
how far it goes, and how long it wears.
Devoe is the standard; call it 100.
The best of the rest is about 10; the
worst about 25; the rest are between.
But the men who sell them don't
know any better. They know what the
maker tells them. That is, they know
that he tells them. They don't know
whether he tells them the truth or not.
The business is not conducted on
knowledge; the less they know, the more
comfortable they are; Yours truly,

Fell Headforemost into Post Hole.

The 4.year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs III. Il. Wright, of Columbia, lost her
life by falling head first into a post hole
filled with water on Tuesday of last
week. Several little girls were engaged
at the Wright home in game of "hide
and seek" and, getting tired OF tho
game, quit, and then for the first time
noticed the absence of little Annie.
Search was made Immediately and after
some little time she was found, fallen
headforemost into an empty post hole
half full of water. The smallhess OF tn
hole prevented her from extricat;ng her
self, or making any outcry. When found
her body was wedged tightly into the
hole, so much so that some difficulty
was experienced in getting it out. She
was strangled to death almost immedi-
ately.
