If He Could,

1t was the opening day of the ses-
sion. when everyone was at his Sun
day best The Senator, who always
wears a short coat and carries his
right hand in his trousers pocket,
with his left ready to emphasize his
words, by shaking his forefinger,
leaned against the cloak-room door,
meditatively rolling a cigar between
his lips.
One of the three bestdressed men in
the Senate approached. The forefin-
ger rose, and the Senator remarked:

a hundred dollars foc that vest, If he

Company Owned Threshers.

1t has been pointed out In these
columns that much loss is each year
incurred by farmers from having to
allow their grain to stand too long in
the shock while waiting the arrival
of the threshing outfit, which is too
busy to promptly take care of all of
the work desired to be done. Thresh-
erS are increasing in number in each
community, but as two-thirds of the
farmers in many districts prefer to
thresh from the shock and could not
otherwise dispose of their grain crop,
many more machines are needed and
should be furnished in order to put a
stop to the serious loss or damage of
grain. In Great Britain almost with
out exception the farms have individ-
ual threshing mills, most of which are
run by water power, which necessi-
tates having dams or ponds. Where
modern buildings have recently been
built, steam power runs the thresher.
which is fixture in a special build
ing, says the Farmers Review.
With us small threshers might he
run by electric power where trolley
lines pass near the farm, or by the
old-fashioned horse power or even a
steam engine, where the farm is large.
These things will come some day.
Meanwhile it would seem to be a good
plan for farmers to band together in
community for the purchase of a
threshing outfit of sufficient capacity
to do the work required, and then
each season stack the grain on each
farm and thresh with the company
machine just when most convenient
or profitable.
A company machine could not well
thresh from the shock quickly enough
to suit all of the farmers owning
stock in the outfit; hence it would
be best to stack the grain and that
indeed is probably the best plan for
all concerned in districts where the
harvesting weather is not invariably
dry and hot. While help is scarce
shocking will still be as shockingly
done as it is at present on most farms.
The sheaves are bundled together any
old way and take rain like a sponge,
so that they soon commence to rot
and sprout or at least become discol.

lance until the examination takes

AS may be supposed, Mr.. Bruce was
greatly interested in the proceedings,
having been engaged to ferret out the
mystery which thus far had eluded his
grasp. Now to find his man ready and
waiting, so to speak, for arrest and
examination, all in his own house and
through his own will, put a different
phase upon the matter than he had
hitherto conceived possible. He u.s.

the accounts of HamiltOn's alleged
loss of personal identity as he Wake;

And were they?"
NO; they were in Nebraska
Are you sure?" asked the presi-
dent.
Yes. They had been at their old
business, Ashley and his friends, and
had started a deposit bank 1t was in
Goodwill, a smart little village OF
mushroom growth. They forged the
charter, for aught l know. But, any
way the bank burst up in few
weeks; for the three, Ashley, ScoVille

town the slip and took the deposits
with them. The others got into hid,

CO stric Digestion.

The stomacns of our domestic anil
mails vary. greatly in size, that of the
hog holding z to quarts, the horse
IL to 10, and the OK over 500 quarts.
Colin, who gives the above data, found
lao pounds of air-dry fodder in the
nrst three compartments of the stom-
ach OF COW that had tasted two days.
The omach of the OK Is never with
out considerable content, even after
long starvation. The digestion of the
starchy matter of the food through
action of the saliva continues in the
stomach. After the food enters the
stomach churning motion is set up
which causes it to travel from the
place on entrance toward the exit.
While this motion is going on, fluid
Is being poured upon it from the lin
ing OF the stomach. This fluid is at
first alkaline, but gradually becomes
more and more acid.
The amount of gastric fluid poured
out has not yet been definitely deter
mined. Some writer's place it as high
as one-fourth the weight of the body
daily, others a tenth, and others even
less.
The constituents of the gastric juice
which effect changes are pepsin, rem
net, and acid. Pepsin is soluble
ferment which acts upon the food only
in the presence of dilute acid. Rem
net has the power of curdling milk,
one part coagulating 100000 parts of
casein Cane sugar is not fermentable
and cannot be assimilated until it Is
changed to glucose and laevulose
Hydrochloric acid is present in con-
siderable amount in the gastric juice
Cane sugar in the food is slowly
changed by this acid into laevulose
and glucose. The main action of the
gastric juice is, however, in convert
ing the albuminoids into peptones,
leaving the fatty matter and cellulose
to be attacked later. The stomach Of
the horse is so small that it cannot
contain full feed at one time, and
consequently that portion which is
first eaten is usually pushed on from
the stomach into the small intestines
before it has been long acted on by the
gastric juice.-Prof. w. A. Henry, in
Feeds and Feeding.

NentiIatinn the Shoes.

Zone thing that most persons with
tender feet who insist upon wearing
patent leather shoes in warm weather
don't know" said a salesman in a
Broadway store, sis that small hole
bored on either side of the shoe, about
one inch from the sole and close to the
instep, will give them more comfort
than all the foot ease powders ever
manufactured. The holes pump in the
air while the wearer is walking and
keep the feet cool"-New York Times.

 Since coming to Memphis Mr. Sreit has been stopping with MT. and Mrs. Clark at their Linden street home. For some days past he has been ill., Late yesterday afternoon l.r. Clark left the house to go to purchase some provisions at one of the stores nearby. He returned earlier than he was expected and was accompanied by negro boy who was carrying some chickens which had been bought by him. He entered the lot from the rear and knocked at the rear of the house.
 His wife, who was in her room, became frightened, thinking tna, burglar was trying to get into the residence. She ran into the room where MT. Streit was lying sick in bed. and screamed to him that some one was trying to get into the house. MT. Streit grabt revolver and jump ing from his sick bed, ran hurriedly to the rear door, He pulled the door open and pulled down at the man on the out side.
