Nervous exhaustion invites disease.
This statement is the positive truth.
When everything becomes a burden
and you cannot walk a few blocks with

Portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee.

The fact that too frequently 1t tran
spires in American history that no

great men is faithfully preserved has
caused a number of the devoted ad.

interest themselves to a perfect
picture Of the great general to be
made and TO be preserved for all flu

years, is under way by the John

the exact photograph made at Gen
eral Lees residence in Richmond a
few days after the surrender, which
picture has always been considered

Jus.ifable Discretion..ssrM

Timothy Woodruff says that in a
town "up the State" there are two
Irishmen who for some time have been
on bad terms with each other. Not
long ago Flaherty had, according to
the notions of his friends, been the re-
cipient of what could be deemed moth
ing else than insult from the other
Irishman. So they urged upon him the
d%esirability of indicating his honor
by promptly chastising his ancient en-
envy. But it would appear that Fla
herty was a mar of some prudence,
for, said he, she's more than me equal.
Look at the size of him! The mans a
g.ant!'
"Very WE'LL" responded a friend. dis
gusted by Flaherty's exhibition of
weakness, 'slaye him go-that is. if
you're wantin' people goin' about

Advancing the Farmers Interests.

Travelling agents and statesmen are

Chicago packers into all South Ameri-

going into every land, no matter what
language may be spoken or what

their goods for cowries or elephant

some folks, but travelling men, carry

BaIfour,s Motor Experience.

Here is the story of an incident
which happened during n of MI
Balfour's recent motor journeys.
With him was a friend, formerly IN
the House of Commons and now re-
corder of a certain city. The chauf-
feur was signalled by a Surrey con-
stable to stop. Mr.. Balfour was his
own chauffeur. The constable in
sisted that the speed was owe the
limit. The prime minister was sure
it was not.
"Well, look at your indicator"
"Er-haw-well, l haven't an In
dicator," said the premier, sweetly.
"but," with emphasis, i've got a re-
corder."
AS the policeman did not know
what that might be, and fearing to
show his own ignorance If a prose-
cution should follow, he withdrew his
hand. and Mr.. Ba1four and the recor-
der, all smiles, continued their drive.
The constable heard them laugh and
scratched his head; but it was too
late to do anything.-London Tit

To Tell a Horses Age.

The age of a horse cannot always
be told by looking at it's teeth. Aft
er the eighth year the horse has no
more new teeth, so that this method
is useless for a horse which is more
than eight years old. AS soon as the
set of teeth is complete, however, a
wrinkle begins to appear on the edge
of the lower eyelid and another wrin-
kle is added each year, so that to
get at the age of a horse more than
eight yea old you must count the
teeth plus the wrinkles.-London Tit,

Leyel.-Planied vs.. usied.Plauted Corn.

A new phase of the study of
corn roots at the Kansas State
Agricultural College has recently
been concluded, the purpose of
which was not only to show the
root development of the plant,
but to compare the root systems
of level-and lister-planted corn,
and to show their relative advant-
ages and disadvantages.
In the level-planted corn, the
roots filed the soil, not only be
tween the hills but beneath them
to a depth of two to three feet,
the entire space being fully oc-
cupied.
The root crown of the lister
planted corn was fully three
inches deeper, the roots less COM
pact and fibrous. The depth of
roots at the hill was practically
the same as the depth midway be-
tween he hills.
1t is the general experience Of
farmers who practice the lister
method that listed corn stands
drouth better than level-planted
This is due to the fact that listeC
corn can be cultivated deeper anC
closer to the hill at the last cult
walton, and the ground is left witt
three or four inches of mellow sol
over the roots close up TO the hill
This soil mulch conserves TIN
moisture and protects the root
from the sun.
Too deep cultivation of iste,
corn or too deep and too clos
cultivation of the level-planted
will cut the roots and injure tn
corn. Medium deep cultivation
not too close to the roots, will nc
injure them.
Early cultivation may be sha
low, but in July and August
deeper mulch is necessary. Sha
,, low early cultivation best clear
the soil of weeds and favOrs I'll
quicker warming of the grounC
The later thick mulch regulate
I the soil temperature.
Experiments at the COlleg
shows yields favoring shallo
o early and deep late cultivation.

Charter issued To Santa Fe For Medi'
cine Valley RI.

Topeka, Kans., Dec. THE
Santa Fe company proposes to
build a short cut from Western
Kansas to the Gulf. Today it took
out a charter for the Medicine
Valley Railway Company with a
capial of 100000. The subsidi-
AIRY company proposes to extend
the line from Medicine Lodge to
Dodge City to connect with the
main line. 1t also proposes to
build a line north from Medicine
Lodge to Great Bend. The Dodge
City branch will be ninety-fve
miles long and the Great Bend
branch seventy-fve miles.
The Santa Fe now reaches the
Gulf with its Western business by
way of Newton. The cut off from
Dodge City to Medicine Lodge
will shorten the distance to the
Gulf at least 100 miles. The Great
Bend branch is projected for the
purpose of tapping a rich agri
cultural country.
General Attorney W. R. Smith
who secured the charter for tn,
Medicine valley company, say,
he understands that work will b
commenced on the two branch
lines in the early spring.
