The late General H. V. Boyntorl dis
liked dogs. He said one day in Wash
ington:
Il know badly who always receives
her callers with yapping, swapping
spaniel, pampered and spoiled, ON the
sofa beside her. An old admiral, a
friend of mine, visited her one after
noon, and the spaniel took a dislike
to him. 1t began to bark and growl
and show its teeth, aid it leaped down
from it's velvet cushion on the sofa
and began to make little feints and
springs at the admiral's legs.
"He, as he talked, held the cane in
his hand, and kept the tail of his eye
on the Internal little beast. Its growls
and yappings redoubled, and it's feint-
like springs at his legs increased. Fer
anxiety and rage he could hardly fol-
low the thread of the talk. He took
firm grip ON his cane.
"The lady said calmly:
Don't be afraid, admiral. My lit
tie dog never bites any one" :
"And even as she spoke the nasty
brute nipped the admiraps ankle, tear
ing the stocking and drawing
blood.
HE swung his cane. and gave the
dog a rap ON the skull that rolled it
half-unconScious into a corner.
Don't you be afraid, either,
madam he said, L never strike little
dogs "-C.nc:nI,.ti Enquirer.

City Clerk Michaelis has not
fully completed the census of Lam
caster, but from his returns it is
safe to figure on the population of
the city at 2540. The census of 1900
was 2403. An increase of the school
census of about 40 has also been
made since Chas. Webb submitted
his report.
Typhoid fever has again made
it's appearance at the state hospital
for the insane at Mendoza. The
authorities appear to be as much
in the dark about it's origin as they
were when that institution had a
similar visitation a few months
since, but it is supposed to be due
to contaminated water. 1t is said
that though there have been but
eight or ten cases, four deaths are
directly traceable to the disease.
There was very pleasant

Most men can only spend a
limited amount of money judicious-
ly. No end of men with only 500
will fool half of it away. 1t is of
mighty little use to give men money
which they have not earned and
learned to know the value of.
Poverty is unpleasant, It's true but
it is a great blessing to the world,
for it keeps more men decent than
any other thing.

ONLY MOTHER.

Only motherl She won't care if
we leave her alone; she doesn't
mind.
Only mother You wanted a
tennis racket and she gave you the
money that she was saving for a
calico gown. But she didn't need
the gown; she said so.
Only neither! She hasn't any
thing new this summer. But it is
is different with her; she is old and
you are young. Of course it is
natural that you should want frills
and ruffles; she doesn't care for
them.
Only mother! She wouldn't en-
JOY this picnic. Besides, she hasn't
time to go; there is work to be
done. She told you SO. Why,
bless her, she had ''lots" rather stay
at home and finish that wedding in
the garden. Didn't she say so?
Only mother! Her hat is out of
style, but that isn't the reason why
she didn't go to church Sunday. She
laughs at.style and doesn't care if
her clothes are dingy and faded,
Didn't she tell you so, just Satur-
day9
Only mother 1t isn't necessary
to go down again. Mother won't
mind the forgotten goodnight. You
would feel hurt if you were forgot
ten, but mothers are different some
how. They don't care about little
things.
And so mother sits alone. Mother
goes without the calico gown.
Mother doesn't care for ruff1es.
M other enjoys wedding more than
picnics. Mother loves faded gowns
and old. fashioned bonnets. Mother
isn't sensitive; she doesn't care il
she is forgotten.
SO, too often, mother has cor.
ner in the family, a corner all hel
own, and one from which she
seldom moves, but from which she
scatters the blessings that are hers
to give.
Too often, mother is different

dren believe it, accept it-until she
is gone.
In too many homes mother is a
part of, and still not of, the family
circle.
Strange as it may seem, sons and
daughters think that mother does
not feel as they do, does not care as
they care, is not hurt as they are
hurt.
But some day when their own
hairs are gray and they have sons
and daughters of their own and tn )
memory Of the sweet patient face
of mother comes to them across the
years, then will they know that
mother was not different.
Then will they know that, though
her lips smiled, her heart bled. That
though her tongue spoke lightly her
soul was filled with dread. That
though the thoughtless ones believed
that she did not care, her heart was
scanned with scars and her pillow
was wet with secret weeping.
Oh, remember that mother does
care. That il her love she wishes
others to forget her needs; she
wishes Others to go, to dress, to be
gay. But she cares.
Mother is not different, she feels,
she suffers, she can weep, she can
be happy.

Fairy Rings.

Probably we have all seen, in the
fields or on the edge of the woods, that
circle called the fairy ring. Before
fairy talk came to be doubted, it was
firmly believed these rings were the
dancing ground of the fairies. In the
moonlight the sprites danced, wearing
down the grass under their feet-at
least so our grandfathers said, but we
must take sciences simple explanation
of it. A fungus plant will soon ex-
haust all the fungus food from the soil
beneath it, so that only the spores
which fall outside this barren spot will
take root and flourish. So the ring is
always widening outward, forming a
perfect circle, unless something inter.
feres with it. The rings are abundant
in wet weather.

THOS. DOVERY, PUBLISHER.

Frank Eddy, former member 'ot
congress and now editor of The
Sank Center Herald, is ready to
engage in a joint debate with the
most ardent standpatter there is
in the state. The versatile Eddy
believes in patronizing home in
dustry, and says there is no
necessity of importing either Gov
ernor Cummins or Governor La
Toilette into the state for the pur-
pose of discussing the tariff question
from the revisionist's standpoint.
In the recent number of his paper,
Mr.. Eddy, has this to say:
1--WE stand ready to meet all
corners either in joint discussion
through the columns of the news
papers or by lecture to affirm:
"That protection is one of the
fundamental principles of republi-
canism, and that for revenue or
free trade are inimical to the best
interests of the nation. We will
further affirm that 'standpattism'
and stand stillism are synonymous
terms: that there is a crying and
immediate need of a revision of our
tariff laws; that tariff on commodi-
ties controlled by trusts or mono
poles aid such a trust or monopoly
to Cypress the people and is con-
trary to republicanism and the
American spirit of fair play; that
protective tariff upon commodities
that are sold by the producers
cheaper in the markets they are
projected against than in the home
markets is not protection but legis-
lative plumber; that a tariff on
lumber and fish is an absurdity
and a travesty upon protective
principles; that reciprocity is as
much a republican principle as
protection.
'We have no reputation as a
linguist. The only languages that
we can speak with facility English,
Norwegian and Hog Latin. We are
no orator, but since our entrance
into public life we have made 1887
public addresses and we have some
thing of a reputation of being able
to sling the United States dialect in
a manner so that the plain pluggers
can understand what we mean, and
if we can't convince those who do
the nation g work, pay tho nations
bills and transact the nations bust
ness, of the truth of the above pro-
positions in any of the ways above
indicated, we will agree to leave the
haunts Of civilization and hike to
the northwest angle and fish for
bullheads for gu bsistence, learn the

Ade of the Profitable Steer.

The item below from the Breeders
Gazette will be of great interest to
those feeding cattle, and when they
feed any aged animal they should
De sure that it is of a good grade
beef breed:
To the Gazette 1T requires
a bout one half as much grain to
produce 100 pounds of gain on
calves as on two year Odds. The
work of the Missouri Agricultural
College has definitely demonstrated
that the most profitable age to
fatten cattle is while they are still
young. The older the animal the
more food is required to produce a
given gain Other stations have also
Investigated this question and have
arrived at the same result.
The Central Experiment Station
Farm at Ottawa, Can., found by
comparing 1000 pounds live weight
in the case Of calves, yearlings, two
and three year Odds, that the profit
for each 1000 pounds was: Calves,
$31; yearlings, $27; two year Odds,
$19.10; three year Odds, $3.50.
When all of the cattle Of all ages
were purchased at 4 cents a pound
and sold fat at 5 cents a pound, the
profit on 81, 900 invested in feeding
cattle was: calves, $557. so; yearlings
1884; two year ODDS, $198.75; three
year Odds, $177.50.
Nine tenths of all the cattle fed
in the Middle West are two year
Odds at the beginning Of the feeding
period. When these cattle are in
thin condition at the beginning of
the experiment they are often fed
with profit, but starting with calves
within the same condition it is I'M
questionably true that the calves
return more profit for each 81, 900
invested than the older cattle.
