Washington, Dec. 9. Senator
Beverage has introduced the bill
providing for the creation of two
states of the four territories. The
bill is identical with the measure
reported by the Senate Committee
at last session This action means
that the congressional leaders of
both houses are determined to
press the statehood issue with the
view of disposing of it early in the
season, leaving the way clear for
rate legislation to follow.
Many prominent people in both
territories" said Captain Frantz,
are in favor of prohibition, but
they object to Congress inserting a
prohibition clause in the organic
act erecting a state. ="

BOY RUN OVER.
iackman Did Not Stop to See What Harm Had Been Done-Irate
 Father Pursued Him.

Spencer Clawson, young son of s. w. Clawson, was run over by hack in charge of a regular driver yester- day afternoon at Bank corner. The driver did not stop, continuing to his stand in front of the Annex. Arriv- ing there he got down and claims he was starting back to see about the boy when met by MT. Clawson, who had followed him up the street. Hot words ensued, attracting a crowd. In the course of the altercation the hackman made as if to draw a gun, when he was seized and searched by MT. Clawson with the declaration that if the driver was armed he would arrest and lock him up. The driver had no gun.
 The boy run over by the hack es- capped injury other than bruises, al though two wheels of the heavy vehi- cle passed over him. At the time of the accident there were many people in the street and the boy had been forced to the out edge of the roadway. The driver claims that as he approach ed the boy suddenly stepped directly in front of the hack, and that it was impossible to avoid him. He had no explanation to offer for not having stopped to ascertain the harm he had done and to render such assistance as might be needed.

cANANEA TOOK STOCK.
Of Arizpe Lost Mine-AIiottment for Douglas Will Probably Close
 Supscription.

J. G. Pritchard is home from a trip to Cananea, where he went to put an allotment of San Francisco Mining Co. stock open to subscription. The property of the company in Arizpe is better known at Cananea than it is outside of Sonora, and the allotment offered was speedily oversubscribed. The company will probably close its subscription list with an allotment that has been reserved fer Douglas in- vestors who have been asking oppor- tunity to get a portion of the three thousand shares to be sold. For the purpose of opening the subscription Mir. Pritchard expects to go to Douglas on Tuesday.

THE OLD HENS.
Careless Selling of Poultry Of Fine
Breed Robs the Farmer of His
Rightful Profits.

On many farms at this time of the
year there are found quite a number
of surplus males and females that
possess pure blood. but which cannot
be sold to fanciers, for various rea-
sons. These may have been prize
winners at an carrier period in life, but
on account of approaching end and con-
sequent fading beauty. they have lost
out and have become the victims of the
intense commercialism with which this
age is charged. These birds find their
way into the huckster wagon at COM
mercial rates and a day or two later they
may be found in the midst of a struggling,
surging mass of everything that the
feathered vocabulary has a name for.
About that time some farmer, and so far
as that is concerned. once in awhile
fancier will happen that way when his
eye will be caught instanter by the ap-
pearance of any such specimens. He be-
comes interested right away and goes
after such specimens as pleases his
fancy, and one by one examines every
section of the bird. ending by purchasing
of said huckster the blooded bird at the
commonest kind of price he can Jew
the huckster down to- Then he takes the
bird home, waits until it mouths and fixes
It up and sells it for four or five times
the price he gave for it, declaring that
nobody has been harmed, for the bird
was oughbred-Inland Poultry

KEEP STEERS COMFORTABLE
How the Stock Raiser May Increase
His Profits Materially Dur
ing Winter Months.

At Wisconsin convention a cattle
feeder said: you must keep a steer
comfortable. One time l had my
steers weighed in, and one had gained
only ten pounds during the month,
while the Others had gained from so
to GO pounds each. thought of course
the boys who had weighed them had
made mistake. The second month
that steer gained only Is pounds, while
the others had gained so pounds. I
examined that steer and found he
stood where the floor had worn down
and that he had stood on his toes, and
his legs had become sore. took him
out of that place and put him in a box
stall, and he gained 80 pounds a month
for the next three months. At another
time let the steers out for the winter
and they ran hard, and one steer hit
and cracked his horn. He gained only
Is pounds the next month. The rest
gaii.ed so pounds each"

Story Of How Nero obeyed His Mas

Stories OF dogs are so plentiful that

evidence Of canine reasoning power is

Nero to go in the house and bring him
a rag. Nero bounded off. and was OBJ

FOOLS SETTING HENS.
Minnesota Man Thinks He Has Sure
Method Of Breaking the In
cubating Habit.

Timothy Varney, who lives three miles
east of LIE Sueur and keeps about 200
hens, has been greatly troubled, as have
most people who keep hens, by the per-
sistent desire manifested by the fowls
to set in season and out, on eggs, stones
or doorknobs or anything else that comes
handy. says the st. Paul Pioneer Press:
but he has got hold of plan now which
he has quietly tried this season with per-
feet success, and which he warrants will
cure the worst light brahma cluck that
ever vexed the heart of man of all de-
sire to sit, and all in less than three
| hours.
| The cure consists Of cheap watch,
with loud and clear tick to 1t, Enclosed
| in case that is white and shaped like
an egg. When a hen manifests de-
sire to set out of season he gently places
this bogus egg under her sheltering
breast and the egg does the rest. It ticks
cheerfully away, and soon the hen be-
gins to show signs of uneasiness and
stirs the noisy egg around with her bill,
thinking. perhaps, that it is already time
for 1t to hatch. and there Is a chicken In
it wanting to get out. She grows more
and more nervous as the noise keeps up,
and soon jumps Off the nest and runs
around awhile to cool off, but returns
again to her self-imposed duty. It gets
worse and worse with her. and she wig
giles about and cackles, ruffles her feath-
ers and looks wild, until at last, with
frenzied squawk, she abandons the nest
for good and all. That incubating fever
is broken up completely.
Mr.. Varney finds use for half dozen
Of these noisy eggs, and claims that they
pay for their cost over and over during
the year by keeping the hens at the bust
ness of laying and not permitting them
to waste the golden hours in useless in
cubating.

Fruit for Horses and Cows.

We are asked if it pays to feed fruit
to farm animals. Does it pay for you
ane your family to eat apples and 9TH
er fruits? II 1t does, it will pay to
feed fruits to your horses, COWS. etc.
Our horses and cows are crazy for ap-
pies, and as we always give them some
fruit they always have an eypectant
look when we come near them. In
feeding apples to cows they should be
spaded in half to avoid choking.) True
a pound of apples will not nourish a
horse as Will pound Of oats, but this
is no reaaon why fruits may not be
helpful to animals. It is said that no
gems car. exist in the stomach while
fruit acids are present Yes. feed your
animals fruits, but not in excess, and
do not fed green fruits. since yo,,
would no. eat them yourself.-MidIand

former was a noble-looking horse, the
latter an unmistakable brute. The
horse was harnessed to a farm wagon,

HURRS IN THE WOOL.
This Is the Time of Year to Get Rid
Of the Sticky Things and
Increase Profits.

The selling price of wool in Indiana
Is very seriously affected by the pres
ence of burrs. Light, bury wool is cut
from one to three cents pound while
hard, bury wool is oftentimes cut
more than one-half in price The sheep
gather these burrs In the fall Burrs
are now setting on, and the first frost
will cause them to dislodge easily from
the stem and attach themselves to the
wool.
At a slight expense of labor consid-
cradle Improvement in the quality of
wool may be made by Kidding the pas
ture of burrs. Careful going over the
pasture once or twice, and then keep
ing up the watch in passing among the
sheep, will tend entirely to rid the
field Of burrs. Burrs make a puny
growth in thick pasture sod. II
sheep are kept in the field they will
eat the young burr plants. They will
finally rid the field of burrs, if new
supply is not constantly reseeding the
field, for they carry the matured seed
away in the wool and kill many young
plants and prevent others from making
a healthy growth.-American Tribune.

Mr.. Shillington is afraid to go after this

the rafters with honey, have COM

ceallng 1t; the legs are match sticks, fas-
tened to the shell with sealing wax.
This Is all that is strictly necessary,
but you can paint or draw the wings il
you choose, or cover the whole body with
down Or fine wool, fastened on with glue.
For Il newly Matched chick no tail is
needed. There should be only one hole
in the she'll which should be entirely
covered with soft down.
So far SO good, but your bird or chick
is lifeless and helpless thing and can
not even stand up. You can make it very
much more lifelike and interesting in
the following way: Bend one end of a
short piece Of fine wire into ring, at
right angles to the rest of the wire, and
make hook on the other end. Now fas-
ten the ring with sealing wax to the un-
der side Of the bird just behind the legs.
Put cork, little block of wood, or
some other small weight in the hook and
perch birdie on your forefinger, bending
the wire to make him balance perfectly.
Now you can set him rocking forward
and backward, and he will not fall of
his perch.
You can create good deal Of surprise
and amusement by making a flock Of
these little birds and perching them on
the trees, the potted palms, and the rub
Der plant, so that the weights are hid
den by the leaves, or by setting a row Of
them swinging on the edge of an upright
card, with the weights hanging behind
unseen. If your birds are chicks, they
will look all the funnier in such posi-
tons. for chickens, as you know do not
'roost" until they have good sized tails
and wings.
