Years of experience in the theat-
rical business has taught the man

fact twelve new dressing rooms have

HUNDREDS STRUCK BLIND.

A somewhat remarkable eye disease

it found TO have attacked the natives.
The disease, according to the London

COMING AND ne oor IT.
Hsw . Nan Who Wanted The 1ntirs
Beat In strsst Car Was
Taken Down.

A dapper young man, who acted like
he was q director Of the company, 90.
cupied whole seat on Q Brooklyn
avenue car the other evening and
seemed satisfied with life. A working
man with dinner basket on his arm
entered the car and made for the seat,
relates the Kansas City Star.
Excuse me, sir, but would you
mind moving over bit," he said po-
litely.
The dapper young man looked up
and scowled. He did not bulge an
inch.
Never mind, old man, your time
will come some time observed a sym.
pathetic young man who was jammed
over against window by q woman
who held baby in her arms.
Just then the car stopped, and a ne
gro woman who might weigh 900
pounds, entered. She held two squawk-
ing chickens in one hand and basket
OF vegetables in the other. The work
fngman turned, as II he had just risen,
and beckoned the negro woman to the
seat. She sailed along the aisle past
the crowded seats with q grateful
smile on her face. When she sat
down she struck the seat 80 hard that
the dapper young man was sent fly
ing over against the window. He look
ed miserable, pinned there as he was.
while the passengers giggled and tit.
tired and chuckled sll the way out to
the end Of the line
The workingman held on to the
strap and looked satisfied. His time
had come.

NO FISH WITHOUT FORESTS
Preservation Of TimbsrS Necessary
to Keep Streams from Run
ming Dry.

The preservation Of our streams 10
necessary to the preservation Of our
fish, but many Of the readers may not
yet have considered how intimately
the preservation Of our forests Is con-
nected with the preservation of our
streams and hence the very existence
Of many fish, especially brook trout,
depends upon the preservation of the
forests, says Recreation.
To, illustrate this relationship be-
tween forests and water, make q cou-
pie Of troughs. line one with clay to
represent the country denuded Of trees
the opposite trough lined with sods of
grass or moss to represent the forest
clad mountain side, set them on an
incline and connect their upper ends
with rough reservoir. Pour a pail
Of water into this reservoir and there
will be wild rush of water down the
clay-lined trough, while the moss and
grass-lined one will drip for hours.
It only needs little imagination
to convert this machine into forest
clad mountain and one denuded Of tim.
Der.
The cloudburst represented by the
contents Of the bucket suddenly poured
into the top reservoir is only a dan
gerous cloudburst on the barren slope.
BY the use Of this simple device you
can explain to child the absolute ne
cessity Of preserving the forests upon
the watersheds. n we would have con-
tinuous running water and not the GER
tainty Of flood and drouths which are
caused by the watersheds being reck-
lessly denuded Of timber.

BATH IN CRUDE PETROLEUM
Method Employed by Texas Cattle
men of Kidding Their Herds
Of Ticks.

Down In Texas they have curious
way Of treating cattle for the tick
an insectparasite which attaches itself
to the hide of the animals and produces
irritation and fever.
The disease is contagious, and, as II
prevails In Texas more generally than
elsewhere, cattle from that state are
usually quarantined before they are al.
lowed to cross the border going north
A method of disinfection has been
devised, however, which is said to be
sure, and 1t is q curious one.
The animals are driven from the cor
rails one after the other up q narrow
incline. When they reach the top the
pressure from behind. crowds them
over the ridge Of slippery chute, and
they 20 down q toboggan slide.
At the bottom of the chute n q vat
Of crude petroleum rs or 20 feet square
and three or four feet deep. The ami
NAL is as likely to land on his head as
HIS launches, and that II the intention.
Before he can climb out Of the vat his
hide gets thorough soaking, and the
result is holocaust Of ticks.
Tt only takes three or four minutes
Immersion to do the Job, and in we'll
arranged dipping vat" IS the place
is called. about 200 steers can be treat
ed per hour. Under tile rules Of the
agricultural department. steers that
have been dipped in crude petroleum
are exempt from quarantine.

Carroll Qa.) Herald: The reci-
procity conference in Chicago was
dominated by Governor Cummins of
this state, and his spirit inspired Its
principal utterances and largely d.
rected its commissions. There we're
others quite as honest in the desire to
secure reciprocity, but none who had
given the subject the mature thought
it has received from the Iowa gov
ernor. he is the pioneer in this line
and there Is not another advocate in
the country who has such mature,
we'll defined ideas on reciprocity.
There Is long way still between
these propositions and the realizations
OF the governors hopes, but he be-
lieves in the justice and practicability
of his cause and is courageously stand
ing by it with all his ability and
conscience. However, the Chicago
conference effected very little of a
practical nature.
