HE KNEW THE LADY.
Why Col. Bilups' Companion Was Not
Unduiy Interested.


Unduly Interested.
Happening to have few moments
to himself Col. John Bllups of Ari-
iona decided to take a street car ride,
and see the various beauties of the
capital, says a dispatch from Wash
irgton.
He entered car, took seat, and
devoted himself to looking at the
places of historical interest he passed.
Coming to an uninteresting stretch he
looked around the car and discovered
very beautiful woman sitting in a
seat with an ill-favored man. Directly
behind the woman sat another man,
looking intently out of the window.
Col. Billups was attracted by the
beautiful woman just as any Southern
gentleman is attracted by great pic
ture or fine horse He looked at her
in open mouthed admiration, paying
the tribute the real Southern gentle
man pays to beautiful women wher-
ever found.
Suddenly, to the great amazement
of Col. Billups, the lady turned and
winked roguishly at the man behind
her. 1t was a full-sized, enticing wink.
The man looked out of the window
without noticing. Col. Billups
watched. Three times the lady turned
and winked at the stolid citizen be-
hind her, and three times the man re-
fused to notice the advance
This was too much for Col. Billups.
He moved across to the seat where
the man was sitting. They rode for
a square, and the lady turned again
and winked.
Sir" said Col. Billups to the man
looking out the window, 1T is beau
tiful winters day"
ut is" he replied, still gazing out
on the street.
Sir" said Col. Billups, "have you
remarked that extremely beautiful
lady who sits in the seat directly in
front of u.s."
She's good looking enough" re-
piled the stolid one. still looking out
of the window.
"Sir, said Col. John Billups, 81 am
a Southern man and an admirer of all
that is beautiful in nature. l say to
you that that lady is fair game. That
man with her is not her husband"
Il know it," replied the person who
was gazing out of the window. Il

Keep Chickens Healthy,

Whenever you see a chicken walk
ing about slowly with its neck brought
back between its shoulders you may
depend upon it that there is something
Slapped by mites, or half-starved or af-
flicted by all these at once. Mites are
the worst, save perhaps, starvation.
The poor biddies go about as if they
were on their last legs and desperate
ly sick. A little knowledge, assisted
by little work, will prevent all this.
Nobody should be allowed to raise
chickens who is too lazy to take the
pains necessary to keep them healthy.

Senator John II. Mitchell and Con-
gresham Binger Hermann of Oregon,
have been indicted by the Federal
grand jury at Portland, Ore, for al
legged land frauds Both national legis-
lators returned from Washington TO
appear before the grand jury in their
defense, but their evidence was not
taken. Senator Mitchell is native of
Pennsylvania, but held many public
offices in Oregon before he was elect
ed to the United States Senate for one
term in 1873. He was again chosen
in 1885. and his present term expires
in 1907. He is a noted corporation
lawyer. Congressman Hermann was
formerly Commissioner of the General
Land Office of the United States.
simultaneously with the return OF
the indictments came the information
from Washington that President
Roosevelt had removed from office
John II. Hall, United States district
attorney, who has been assisting in
the prosecution of the fraud cases by
the government.
Congressman Binger Hermann is
sued a written statement:
"The Indictment returned against
me-" he says, lis the result OF the
basest of conspiracies and malicious
persecution. | have been resident
of Oregon since boyhood and have
been trusted with many transactions
affecting the public interests and with
my fellow men and in all of them my
single endeavor has been to discharge
my duty and preserve my honor.
IF frauds were practiced upon the
office the imposition was as grossly
perpetrated upon me as commissioner
as upon others in the office.

trial jury, before which, as a citizen,
shall be protected against mere in
situations, base persecution and per-
jured testimony

Sand In the Food.

Sand is no substitute for gravel, and
the mixing of sand in the food is use
less. When coarse grit is swallowed
by the fowl it is voided before it be-
comes as fine as sand. Grit provides
the mechanical appliances for grind
ing the food in the gizzard. 1t really
edges the more it is preferred by
poultry. When the grit becomes worn
until round and smooth it is passed
on as useless. In using grit, there
fore, endeavor to secure that which is
hard and sharp. Sand is of no value
whatever as grit.-Poultry Keeper.

Sensational Developments Expected

More sensational developments in
connection with the public land
frauds in the west are expected short
ly. Fresh indictments are being pre-
pared in Portland, Ore, and persons
prominent in public life other than
those whose names already have been
implicated are involved.
An investigation of all alleged
frauds in Idaho has been brought
about by affidavits addressed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt by Fred Culver of Lew
ston, Idaho candidate for attorney
general of his state on the Demo-
cratic ticket two years ago. The at
fidavits charged frauds against w. F.
Kettenbach, president of a trust CON-
pany; George H. Kester. cashier of
q bank, and Clarence Robnett. all Of
Lewiston.
The charges are made in connection
with the entry of white pine valued
at 81 100000 through j. B. West, reg
lister of the land office at Lewiston.
Mr.. Culver sent the affidavits to Sena-
tor Dubois. who, without comment,
transmitted them to the president.
Secretary Hitchcock instituted the in
vestigation.

you hadn't been so impatient to get Off
to that old lodge, you would have
met him. You had scarcely left the
house when he came. And-oh, he
has grown into such a handsome man,
so tall. He wanted me to go round
with him to look on at the big mas
querade ball. Said it would be gor-
geous sight. But of course | couldn't
go unless you went, you know"
Chumpsky thought that he heard a
litter somewhere in the room. But.
like wise man, he kept his thoughts
to himself, and went to bed without
asking any more impertinent ques-
tons. And it was the 'love of bon
net" that Mr.. Chumpsky generously
paid for the next day.

Importance of Breed.

While it does not pay the farmer
to give much attention to mere fancy
points in poultry it does pay well to
give close attention to their breeding.
Results can be obtained so quickly in
breeding fowls that they give the
farmer fine opportunity to study
the principles of breeding in prac-
tical way. Moreover, it pays much
better to keep pure-bred fowls than,
scrubs, provided the right breed is
selected for the conditions under
which the fowls are to be kept.

Tomorrow" So we'll did the mask
hide even the voice he could just
catch the word.
How shall know you?"
She caught up a fold of her skirt
and swayed it gently. Again the rich,
heavy perfume of roses billowed up
to his nostrils.
But where? When? At what
placer Chumpsky gasped.
Before she could answer the man
was at her side. With a low bow he
offered his arm. And when Chump-
sky, dazed, stumbled to his feet, it was
to feel Blackwell's hand upon his
shoulder and to hear that gentleman
saying in his suavest accents
Been looking for you everywhere,
old boy" Then as he caught Chump-
sky's eye on the couple disappearing
from the hall. quite swell, old fell
low. Saw you with her all evening""
Chumpsky murmured something
that sounded like an invitation for
Blackwell to descend to the regions OF
darkness. Then he followed sulkily
into the cloak room.
All the way to Blackwells room
Chumpsky's mind ran on the woman
in the black domino, and the might
cap" he took there only made it whirl
and dance the faster.
When he reached his own house all
was dark except for light burning in
the hall This Chumpsky turned out
and, lighting a match climbed softly
up the stairs. He opened the bedroom
door and stepped in. To his credit
let it be said that Chumpsky staggered
back only two PAGES. The air in the
room was heavy with the rich perfume
of roses.
"Is that you, dear?' came Mrs.
Chumpsky's voice sweetly from the
pillow.
Chumpsky weakly acknowledged
that it was. Then he sat down in
chair, as if exhausted.
This perfume, Agnes" he stammer-
ed 'it-smells like roses-where-
where did it come from? It's so op-
pressive-and II rather overtaxed
myself at the lodge-lodge election"
Perfume, dear? Why, yes; isn't 1t
delicious? Cousin George brought it

FROGS Thrived in the Cold.

When j. p. Whipple visited his cot
tage at Lake Cobbosseecontee in
Maine. Dec. IL, he opened hole about
three feet deep which he had covered
some time last summer with barrel
head. In the hole he found sixty
small green frogs. some of which were
in a torpid state, while others were
as lively as in summer At the time
there was three inches of snow on
the ground, the thermometer stood at
five degrees below zero, and the lake
was frozen to depth of eight inches.

name is John Mitchell Nipple and that
he changed it to John H. Mitchell

known as John M. Nipple. He is

When Chumpsky left home and Mrs
Chumpsky that evening. it was with
the avowed intention of attending q
lodge meeting"
Don't sit up for me, Agnes" he had
said. 1T may be rather late when
return. We are to elect our officers
for the coming year, you know"
AS matter of fact, Mrs. Chumpsky
did not know, but, like good wife,
she promised obedience to her lord
and master. So, with feeling of Sc
curity pulsing in his breast, agnes
was usually sound sleeper) Chump-
sky made his way, not to the lodge,
but to the rooms of a certain Mr.. Black
well, from whence. full hour later,
the two of them issued. clad in green
dominoes and masks. A carriage bore
them rapidly to the hall where the
great masquerade ball was soon to
break forth in all its gaiety and splen-
dor.
Nothing else helps a man like talk
Ing night off occasionally" Chump-
sky explained, addressing his own
conscience as well as Mr.. Blackwell.
'Of course, with women it is different.
They are satisfied to stay at home.
They never feel any of that restless
ness, that desire for little innocent
excitement without which man can
not exist"
To this Mr.. Blackwell murmured a
ready assent. and Chumpsky's con-
science chimed in.
The ball was indeed a gorgeous af-
fair Conscious of the security of their
DISCUSSES and carried away by the gay
spirit of the occasion. Formally was
thrown to the winds. Men and women
danced with whom they pleased.
For a while Chumpsky stood back
and watched the jewellers swing and
sway across the polished floor In
their gay abandon there was some
thing fascinating. For a whole year,
ever since his marriage, home and
Mrs. Chumpsky had taken up his
every thought. But as far as the pen
4dulum swings to the right so far will
it return to the left. Chumpsky felt
himself swinging back. An uncon-
trollable desire to dance, to be one
of the mad throng, seized on him.
Just as he turned to cast his eyes
about for a partner, couple swayed
by. He could not help but notice
them. so gracefully they glided over
the floor. Every turn wrapped the
long domino around the woman's FORM
fascinating Chumpsky's eyes. Three
times while he stood there gazing
spellbound, she circled by. The fourth
time they stopped almost in front
of him, scarcely two feet away He
heard her murmur something about
an ice and the man bowed and glded
off. That was Chumpskys opportun-
ity. He took advantage of it. What
he said he never knew; but divine
sensation, there he was gliding across
the floor, one of his arms about her

Metal Coops.

At state fair recently the writer
saw some coops made out of metal,
the parts being adjustable. The idea
is good one. It is not necessary to
go to the patent men to buy, but any
man of intelligence can invent metal
coop for himself with side and ends as
well as floors adjustable. Such a coop
has several advantages over the wood
en- coop. 1t should last forever, il
properly painted and taken care of.
No rat can gnaw hole through such
a coop, nor are there permanent crew
ices in which lice can collect. They
have no pores to fill up with disease
germs, to subsequently breed disease.
They may be scaded out frequently
or may be subjected to a degree of
heat that will destroy all life. If the
metal floors come into contact with
the wet ground they Go not get damp.
